NOW, THIS IS WHAT I CALL AVANTE-GARDE!

January 25, 2021   Humor

Check out this proposed building for NYC:

When it comes to far-out skyscraper designs, this one takes some beating.

Eye-popping renderings have been unveiled for a 210m (688ft) sci-fi-style New York skyscraper that almost looks like it has been fashioned from Play-Doh, with twisting tube-like structures coiled inside a towering frame.

The organic design has been dreamt-up by Turkish architecture firm Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio, which described the structure as ‘amorphous’ and having a ‘transparent, ghostly stance in the city skyline’.

You must know about this shortcut key in #PowerBI Desktop

December 7, 2020   Self-Service BI

Working with the field list on a large model in Power BI Desktop can quickly make you end up with a lot of expanded tables and you collapsing them one by one.

 You must know about this shortcut key in #PowerBI Desktop

Don’t do that

Even though that is good if you want to improve your chances of beating your kids in Fortnite – it probably won’t – so instead do one of the following

If you want to use your mouse

Click the show/hide pane in the header of the Fields panel

 You must know about this shortcut key in #PowerBI Desktop

This will collapse all expanded tables in the field list at once – plus if you have used the search field – it will clear that as well.

But you want to do it using the keyboard use

ALT + SHIFT + 1

This will collapse all the expanded tables as well.

Here is a link to the documentation about short cut keys in Power BI desktop – run through them – there might be some that can save you a click or two

This was a sprawl election

November 10, 2020   Humor
 This was a sprawl election

Like most of the suburbs, sprawl is about greater landscaping that comes with larger lawns. This was a sprawl election.

The 2020 result promises to profoundly alter the nation’s direction, forcing an abrupt end to four years of Trump and Republican rule. Yet unlike other elections that have shifted control in the White House — most recently in 2008 and 2016 — it was not accompanied by any fundamental realignment of the American electorate.

If anything, the result reinforced many of the elements that defined Trump’s victory four years ago, especially the stark divide between rural and urban America.

“The 2016 election changed a lot. This didn’t change a ton,” Borick said. “It was setting things in their new place.”

That new place is one marked by a standoff between two very different blocs within the population that have two very different visions of America.

“You have a fast-diversifying younger population. And you still have a large, older, White population,” said William Frey, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “That’s where we’re going to be for a while.”

Despite Biden’s victory, Republicans were holding out hope they could close the gap. They were also pushing in court to throw out ballots received after Election Day or that were “cured” after initially being submitted incorrectly. Trump attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani said Saturday that the campaign plans to file a lawsuit Monday alleging voter fraud in Pennsylvania. But judges have so far been unsympathetic to lawsuits that have been filed, and the Trump campaign has produced no evidence to substantiate the president’s claim of widespread fraud.

“It wasn’t PA’s major urban centers that set 2020 apart from 2016. It was Erie County and other places like it, where minor shifts across a wide swath of small, industrial cities, growing suburbs and sprawling exurbs added up, and made all the difference.” https://t.co/TrgyrLR3Cn

The term “urban sprawl” was first used in an article in The Times in 1955 as a negative comment on the state of London’s outskirts. Definitions of sprawl vary; researchers in the field acknowledge that the term lacks precision. Batty et al. defined sprawl as “uncoordinated growth: the expansion of community without concern for its consequences…

en.wikipedia.org/…

Total war is warfare that includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all of the resources of society to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs.

The term has been defined as “A war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded.”[1]

In the mid-19th century, scholars identified total war as a separate class of warfare. In a total war, the differentiation between combatants and non-combatants diminishes due to the capacity of opposing sides to consider nearly every human, including non-combatants, as resources that are used in the war effort.[2]

ProBeat: Hey Elon Musk, how do I get this Neuralink out of my skull?

September 6, 2020   Big Data

Automation and Jobs

Read our latest special issue.

Open Now

Elon Musk-backed Neuralink shared a progress update late last week on its brain-computer interface. The implantable hardware platform was shown working in a pig named Gertrude. When Gertrude touched an object with her snout, neurons captured by Neuralink’s technology (which had been embedded in Gertrude’s brain two months prior) fired in a visualization on a television monitor. Musk asserted that someday the company would be able to embed a Neuralink device in a human brain, in under an hour, without using general anesthesia.

“You open a piece of skull,” Musk said. “You remove a coin-sized piece of skull. And then the robot inserts the electrodes. Then the device replaces the portion of skull that was removed. And we basically close that up with actually super glue, which is how a lot of wounds are closed. And then you can just walk around right afterwards. It’s pretty cool.”

Reversible

The primary focus was naturally on Gertrude, but it’s Musk claims about Dorothy, another pig at the event, that left me yearning for more. Musk claimed Dorothy used to have a Neuralink device, but the team removed it to verify that the procedure was reversible.

“If you have a Neuralink and then you decide you don’t want it, or you want to get an upgrade, and the Neuralink is removed,” Musk said, “it is removed in such a way that you’re still healthy and happy afterwards. And what Dorothy illustrates is that you can put in the Neuralink, remove it, and be healthy, happy, and indistinguishable from a normal pig.”

 ProBeat: Hey Elon Musk, how do I get this Neuralink out of my skull?

This is the main sticking point I see with Neuralink. I have no issue with the company pursuing a “generalized brain device that is reliable and affordable,” as Musk defined Neuralink’s mission at the top of the presentation. His list of potentially addressable ailments is laudable: memory loss, hearing loss, blindness, paralysis, depression, insomnia, extreme pain, seizures, anxiety, addiction, strokes, and brain damage. But the technology needs to be as easy to remove as possible.

Invasive

Sid Kouider doesn’t think easy removal is sufficient. We should expect as much from the CEO of NextMind, which is developing a brain-computer interface that translates signals from the visual cortex into digital commands. He sent me some expectations ahead of Neuralink’s presentation last week, and I followed up to get his thoughts afterwards.

“Neuralink is doing great work, and we applaud them for their efforts and achievements,” Kouider told VentureBeat. “We find that overall it’s extremely helpful to raising awareness about the value that neural interfaces can provide, and also presents the reality to people that using neural tech is not as far off as some may have thought. This technology is here now. While it’s still unclear how much of what they are doing is going to be restricted to clinical or open to mainstream applications, Neuralink is helping raise broad awareness.”

 ProBeat: Hey Elon Musk, how do I get this Neuralink out of my skull?

Neural interfaces may soon become an everyday reality. How you get your brain involved, however, remains an open question. Kouider naturally compared “the invasive technology approach that Neuralink is pursuing” with “the noninvasive approach, such as our approach with the NextMind device.” He defines Neuralink’s brain stimulation with electrical currents as invasive and NextMind’s wearable device with no surgery required as noninvasive.

“Because of the rapid and continuing advancement of sensor technology, when noninvasive methods of measurement are combined with AI-based machine learning algorithms, like with NextMind, we are able to get signals of much better quality to obtain and analyze neuron activity — enough to create an effective, real-time computer-brain interface without the need for drilling into the skull,” Kouider added. “Ultimately, the success of the BCI comes down to not just being about the quality of the signal, but it’s about how you analyze and use the data. And we have found completely successful real-time interface possible with a noninvasive, wearable device.”

Removable

Ideally, I should be able to take a Neuralink device off as effortlessly as I did when I tried NextMind’s device. Neuralink won’t get very far if the only way it can be removed is by a company employee.

But let’s assume that Elon Musk’s promises can’t be achieved noninvasively. Say Neuralink can cure paralysis or blindness — that’s simply going to be too hard to pass up, surgery be damned. Still, if the future entails chips in people’s brains, at the very least I need to be able to walk into any hospital and have my chip removed.

Musk will hopefully share details when he discusses V3 next year.
