https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXRtNwUju5g This is one of the hidden problems of our world. In some sense, the US is destroying the world. If you look at Germany, plastic recycling is much easier with all these machines in the stores. (or, is it?)

#ML An interesting idea on time series predictions. Instead of predicting the exact time series, the author proposed a method to predict the future using ordinal patterns. The figure shows how to disintegrate the time series into 8 overlapping short-term series (each with three numbers). To transform the short-term series into patterns, we write down the permutation pattern (for size of the series D=3, we have only 6 possible permutations). Then we will use the permutation patterns in the past to predict the patterns in the future. BTW, this paper used the price of bitcoins as an example to test this method. This method will not be super amazing. The point of this paper is to propose a simple method to predict the future using very limited resource. This is the paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.201011 Short-term prediction through ordinal patterns

#cn http://www.cddata.gov.cn/oportal/index 成都竟然有开放数据平台，而且做的还不错。 更新： 我发现有别的省市也有，难道是所有城市和省份已经统一了？都有这个开放数据平台？

#TIL https://stackoverflow.com/a/28142831/1477359 I had the same idea that git fast forward merge is more or less the same as rebase. Until I read this stackoverflow answer. I guess we should always rebase whenever possible to maintain a clean history.

#shameless https://tools.kausalflow.com/ In the past years, I have been building a showcase of digital tools for academic researchers. It started with some friends asking for recommendations of tools for reference management, visualization, note-taking, and so on ad infinitum. So I built a GitHub repo to share what I have learned about these tools. This was way before the "awesome repo" concept. Later came the "GitHub awesome repo" shitstorm. Everyone is building an "awesome repo". I created a website for a better user experience to flee from the shitstorm. Tools for Academic Research is a website for digital tool listings. At the moment, there are 154 tools listed. You can browse by tags or categories to find whatever you need. Or add an item (books, tools, reviews, etc) you love.

#fun hmmm it must have been an endless reviewing process. 😱
