“HIGHLIGHTS
• [They] propose the first comprehensive quality framework for street view imagery.
• Framework comprises 48 quality elements and may be applied to other image datasets.
• [They] implement partial evaluation for data in 9 cities, exposing varying quality.
• The implementation is released open-source and can be applied to other locations.
• [They] provide an overdue definition of street view imagery..."

I’d really been hoping that the blowing snow would be done by 8:24 PM at the latest!

Today I learned combined with Public Service Announcement:

In Python, you can use format strings with variables not just as the values that need to be represented, but also as parameters for the values!

I.e., if you want to print a given number in scientific notation, you can do:

```python
> value = 314159265
> print(f”{value:6.2e}“)
3.14e+06
```

But if you want to personalize the printing in significant digits and floating point digits you can do:

```python
> digits = 12 # total number of digits
> fl_digits = 4 # for the floating point part
> value = 314159265
> print(f"{value:{digits}.{fl_digits}e}")
3.1416e+06
```

Thunderbirds In Formation II

The USAF Thunderbirds always thrill. Typically 4 jets fly in formation for most of the show while the 5th and 6th jet fly in and out of the show, often coming in from the backside to a totally startled audience.
This image was captured as the main group flew past the main flight line, banking in to fly back behind the crowd.

Huzzah! I've been provisionally accepted to study a Masters of #Precision #Agriculture at Lincoln University :)

Now to see whether part time and the extra costs after the fee waiver will be affordable :)

A reminder that Lincoln University (NZ) has extended its fee-free deadline to end of 2027 :) And they have some AWESOME-looking stuff going on, including the super-well-respected #Landscape #Architecture qualification (incl Masters) and also #Precision #Agriculture, amongst other things like science, computing commerce, etc.

Go check it out :D

Edit: Beide Geräte sind vergeben. Es gibt aber demnächst Nachschub!

2x #DELL #PRECISION T1700, #Intel 4th gen i5-4590, mindestens 8GB DDR3 RAM.
Je mit DVD Brenner und einer duchaus brauchbaren #AMD FirePro W2100 2GB Workstation #Grafikkarte (kann man natürlich alles ausbauen, falls man es nicht braucht)

Wie immer gratis gegen das Porto. Entweder einzeln oder alle Beide auf einmal, falls wer ein Cluster bauen möchte oder so :)

Congratulations to #neurologist BruceMiller, recipient of the Susan Newhouse & Si Newhouse Award of Hope for a lifetime of #FTD (#frontotemporaldementia) research. His brilliance & empathy have touched so many, myself included. 1 of the most profound gifts he gave me was a #precision #diagnosis: #early-onset #Alzheimer's w/the #logopenic variant (word-finding). How I wish he'd been my father's #dr. during those dark years. His care for #families, #caregivers, & #people w/#dementia is unrivalled.

I hate the term "anti-science". It's misleading, and therefore a time-waster.

Take it from Fran: Science is _not_ a religion.
