Honestly, I don't know why this is such a big deal for people. There is no right for anonymous free speech, just free speech. The idea that you should be able to do everything anonymously is certainly nothing that I've seen in the constitution.

Does this model include things like how slippery the road is, or head wind/ cross wind. Or is it only visual / depth model?

Very cool - definitely an important missing feature in SQlite.

Synology NAS - works great, scalable.

This whole blog is just a regurgitation of surface-level wikipedia knowledge. All of these issues are very well known in the industry. Asking to solve all of them, perfectly, at once, is clear indication of someone who's never done product development.

A lot of these large companies spend millions of dollars recruiting participants from various demographics to test prototypes and fine-tune technologies like this. It's a tremendous effort.

100$ /month is nothing for someone who makes a living doing this. And tbh, the value-add is arguably a lot more than that.

I had similar thoughts for a while. What helped me was instead of aiming to make all of the time outside work productive (3-4 hours) just aim for under an hour. For me, 40 min of producitivity per day outside of work makes me feel accomplished. You can actually get a lot done in that span of time like do some exercise, practice an instrument, read an article... (pick one per day and cycle through the week). Not much immediate gratification, but over the years it adds up to a tonn of personal development. Plus with a 40-min window you don't feel guilt about abandoning your other family duties etc.

What's interesting is that the trend in "Average Weighted Accuracy" seems to increase linearly in the past three years whereas the number of model parameters and required compute is growing exponentially. So accuracy is pretty expensive.

By that logic, the lego sets we buy for our kids should also be the cost of plastic ;)

Same is unfortunately true for a lot of Eastern European music. There are thousands of great soviet recordings of various classical and folk pieces that have never been digitized. And the current atmosphere over there is not honed in on preserving art. A lot of the recordings are only available on 50-60 year old vinyls which are getting harder and harder to find in a decent condition. Been digitizing a lot of my favorites in my spare time.
