to add on: alternatives I am seriously considering is buying a macbook m2 purely for lightroom and run linux on intel, and macbook m2 + asahi + dumping the intel.
I tested literally all alternatives to Lightroom, including even other commercial Windows only software, just because I want to get off the subscription. I tested two specific functions I use and need, and zero of all other programs do them well. It's frustrating.
Is there an established way to take into account that people rate different types of restaurants on very different scales? "5 stars great burgers and cheap beer" vs "the avocado soufflé on the 6th course was such a letdown, no creativity at all, ruined my evening, 3 stars". I've seen particularly harsh reviews on fine dining restaurants that speak more about the entitlement of the customer than on the quality of the place.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what is the idea behind quantizing and tokenizing time series? We tokenize text because text isn't numbers. In the case of time series, we're... turning numbers into less precise numbers? The benefit of scaling and centering is trivial and i guess all timeseries ML does it, but I don't see why we need a token after that.
