I'm a digital artist who works across a variety of media, including 3DCG, video, photography, and animation, with some light technical experience (mostly scripting for Unity and Excel). I'm looking for remote work, preferably something related to XR or spatial design. Open to short-term gig/contract work.
(I suppose somewhat unconventional for these postings, but maybe that could be helpful.)
Unedited bullet points on a related topic (same prefixes are linear, different prefixes connect to the others, but I haven't decided where yet):
>capital concentration increases
>expectations for what capital owners can do with money increases
>expectations exceed available capital
>investment returns must increase (race to the top)
>cooperation among capital owners must increase to get better returns
>capital owning group begins to self-select and become less diverse, if this wasn't already caused by the background/personality required to accrue capital
>investment theory converges on a handful of "winning" ventures
>because this is where capital is flowing, workers are forced to divert to these ventures
I wonder if that's true. With the volume of taxis necessary to replace busses, you have to think about the increased fuel and maintenance costs, the increased costs related directly to traffic, and indirectly in the form of losses from accidents, etc.
To check my understanding: say your current position is "unemployed." You would think that the expectation for you is to "get a job", but to get a job is extremely difficult. You have to navigate an almost adversarial job market and recruiting process, often for months. It's essentially a massive negative incentive, considering all of the effort and grief involved. So, the incentives aren't aligned with the desired outcome; the skittishness of each individual hiring company to make sure that they don't get screwed by a bad hire has warped the entire dynamic. Is this a good example?
So can "stupidity". If something is possible for a human to do, it's something that's possible for any sufficiently-enabled/supported human to do. I've heard it put that the inability to understand or do something is a matter of not having acquired the necessary prerequisites. So, the incentives to control stupidity are the incentives to acquire and apply the prerequisite skills or knowledge.
Exactly this. Specifically, how much error rates increased as you moved towards the treeline. The "am I looking straight up?" check was a washer hanging from the pipe by a piece of string.
For this particular satellite, I think it's actually both. One of the components of the imaging system failed relatively early on[1], but they've worked around the issue for the past 20 years.
Dang, hits home. When I was a senior in high school, I was lucky to able to volunteer under Dr. Eric Brown De Colstoun at NASA Goddard, checking error rates for tree cover estimates using Landsat data^. Many hours that fall spent trudging around parks and forests, looking at the sky through a PVC pipe. It still kind of blows my mind at how much is able to be gained from images where each pixel is 15mx15m of ground-level area (and, I believe, with an important component of Landsat 7's imaging system broken for most of its lifespan).
I also wasn't aware that Landsat program imagery had been made free to access a few years later. Nice.
^(A massive thank you to him, since I wouldn't have graduated without being able to participate in that project. And a massive apology for going on to get a fine arts degree.)
