Can’t log into Netflix from France. Contacted customer support and they said we can cancel our US account and start a French one. That’s just plain stupid. #fail #netflix

@adamdavidson How about “fascist”?

Why do my Apple devices persist in downloading music purchased from the iTunes Store even when I have automatic downloads turned off on the device? 😡

This is an interesting article showing what it takes to try to utilize machine learning to predict real world outcomes. As usual, it’s the data, stupid! I look forward to the next installment! via ⁦@arstechnica⁩ https://t.co/gELcPfsPTB

Hey @Salem_Statesman your downtown Salem survey doesn’t work worth a damn on a phone.

Until I read through this brilliantly simple example, I was trying to make using Google Cloud Functions with Big Query far more complicated than it needs to be! https://t.co/m6jyShfiU5

Here’s a sterling example (from Google who really should know better) of an appallingly inappropriate application of machine learning techniques. Scathing study exposes Google’s harmful approach to AI development https://t.co/GGwbvnO6A9

Here's another interesting and (unfortunately) all too appropriate use of machine learning, via our colleagues at Microsoft Research: https://t.co/7mseZjNlHf

A couple of papers I wrote on the evolving cloud storage picture in higher Ed and research institutions are now available.

[Oren Sreebny @orensr]

This strikes me as a great example of an appropriate use of machine learning.

Given that text-to-speech has gotten pretty good, shouldn't music notation programs be able to sing the words on playback, using the melody and lyrics you put in? #finale #dorico #sibelius #musescore

I was disappointed that Apple didn’t announce Logic Pro for the M1 iPads today at WWDC.

Most used voice commands:

I'm getting ready for a personal tech refresh. To my surprise I'm thinking of spending more on an iPad (12.9" iPad Pro with 512 GB) than on a Mac (M1 Mini with 16 GB). The big iPad will be better for reading music. Would be even better if Apple announces Logic for iPad.
