New #Metric single: "Who Would You Be For Me”

Set aside a few minutes to emotionally recover.

My favorite band #Metric announced a very limited club tour, with a date in LA during my birthday week. Cool, obviously I'll go.

Scalper¹ market: what do you think?

Anyway I'm going. And I'll have a blast. But it's frustrating.

¹The scalper market is RUN BY THE TICKET SELLER COMPANY. I'm *sure* the ticket seller company didn't hold back tickets to resell themselves, right?

Talk about using it all 😀

#MetricSystem : https://github.com/seanpm2001/Metric-System

This is more of a #documentation repository, but it is one I am quite happy with. The idea behind this was a set of improvements to the #Metric #System, mostly by adding more #SI #units, including both #Decimal and #Binary. It expands from the unit #Kilometer to include units such as Megameter, Gigameter, Terameter, etc. and Mebimeter, Gibimeter, Tibimeter, etc.

Once again, Americans will do anything to avoid using the #metric system.

If you ever think it's odd to see random people making non-substantative #comments on your #posts, like, just agreeing with you or whatever, remember that pretty much every #algorithm on every #SocialMedia platform that has one treats comments as the strongest #metric for what should be #boosted, because that's #engagement.

Every time I swing by the #BirdSite to check up on stuff, I try to make comments on stuff I want to be trending there. When I come back to #Mastodon / #Fediverse, I have to stop myself from saying "Right, that's great!" on posts I like. That's even as someone who's always been more active on here than I ever was on there.

The #algorithms of #SocialNetworks condition us to follow their whims, and it can be difficult for people to break out.

@amberage using 4th tier #deprecated units that have been normed as shitty abbreviations of the #metric system is not the kind of flex people think it is.

There's a reason only #Burma, #Liberia and the #USA have not fully metrified.

The #Wasserstein #metric (#EMD) can be used, to train #GenerativeAdversarialNetworks (#GANs) more effectively. This tutorial compares a default GAN with a #WassersteinGAN (#WGAN) trained on the #MNIST dataset.

#MachineLearning

I'm sitting here doing some learning on #ebike and I'm watching a lot of international English (UK, EU) content and it made me realize how much nicer it would be if we got our act together and started to learn and use #Esperanto as the international auxiliary language (along with #metric in the US)

It would make learning things from other countries and international communication so much easier.

My favorite album of 2022, Formentera by #Metric, turns out to have been part one of a "secret" double album. Formentera II is coming out in October. Based on the two singles that have been released, it seems like it might be equally amazing. What a great surprise!

Metric – “Nothing Is Perfect” #2023_08_11 #stereogum #new_music #justin_broadbent #metric

TIL: #Metric performed "Black Sheep” live at Comic-Con 2010. Can you even imagine getting into *that* audience??

(The audience angles in this video seem awfully low-key. I would not have been low key. I would have been out of my mind.)

When will the US join the rest of the world using metric? It's ridiculous to keep things this way. #metric

@ifixcoinops

Canada's like this too. (Almost) all commerce is in metric units, but we have an awful lot of products with weird non-round numbers like 454g, 335ml, 1.14l, 0.92m, 568ml that happen to be nice, round figures in Imperial or U.S. units...

Ya know, just slapping a new label on it doesn't make it #metric...
