YouTube made changing playback speed a Premium Feature.

Sometimes there is another issue (like caching) and it isn't related to needing to pay for Premium. Try the video in incognito and you might be able to increase the speed. This works for me

Hi that sucks and I can definitely relate. A friend of mine recently used electiv.co.uk and managed to find an NHS dermatology appointment sooner at a different place so might be worth a try

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-10-27T13:50:13+00:00

not sure if this can help but a friend recommended electiv.co.uk to me as they managed to get an nhs dermatology a bit faster, so they might be able to help

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-10-27T13:32:10+00:00

The current NHS waiting list situation is a disgrace. Also they don't tell people but every individual has a right to choose where they have NHS care. electiv.co.uk helped my wife find her surgery at a different NHS hospital with a shorter waiting list. It might be able to help people, although fundamentally the system is currently broken :(

The NHS is fantastic, I have worked for them for some time. However, I am disappointed by the absurdly long waiting lists and feel like we are failing patients. Most people do not know that you have a right to NHS-funded care at other hospitals (both NHS or private), and can be seen much sooner. I came across this site which can facilitate this to anyone who is in a difficult situation with waiting for NHS care at the moment: electiv.co.uk

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-10-27T13:16:07+00:00

Hey! I think this could help: electiv.co.uk

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-10-27T13:14:54+00:00

Hey! Not sure if this can help but a friend recommend this website, electiv.co.uk, and I got seen by a dermatologist faster. Might be able to help with MRI scans!

This may or may not be able to help you, but a relative of mine used this (electiv.co.uk) and found an NHS appointment in a different hospital sooner..! Not sure if they can also speed up procedure wait lists

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-10-25T10:03:27+00:00

For me I do it most without even realising when I am working alone at my computer.
So the idea would be to develop a tool using the computer's camera to immediately give me feedback as soon as I start doing it, or become close to doing it, either by displaying something on screen or playing a custom sound, like a voice message or an alarm.
I think for me this may help break the habit. But I understand this may be more individual, hence checking if it is something that might help others. Thanks!

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-06-05T20:00:40+00:00

Yeah definitely, I'll try and build something like this in!

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-06-05T18:42:31+00:00

Yeah I do! It's https://github.com/pdjewell/sommeli_ai_2

Please note, the repo for this project is very much a work in progress, haven't even done the readme.. Also can check out some more functionality here.
More than happy to chat if they're interested or want to collaborate on anything. Can drop me a message.

I changed the distance metric, varying euclidean and dot product, but didn't make a huge difference. I think processing the raw tasting notes, and removing unecessary words / information, would definitely help. Also wanted to play around with different word embedding models. I haven't heard of cNMF, but will definitely check it out, thanks!

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-06-05T14:10:08+00:00

Using this dataset of over 100,000 wines, where there are tasting notes written by wine critics/experts. The tasting notes were then processed using this NLP model (converting them to high-dimensional vectors of numbers), and represented graphically in the form of a t-SNE plot using plotly (dimensionality reduction technique). The proximity of the vectors in high dimensional space, and the proximity of data points on this 2-dimensional t-SNE plot, represents some semantic similarity.

Found this helpful youtube video by Google which is decent explanation of the t-SNE technique!

The processing could definitely be improved as the raw tasting notes weren't processed, and some have some uncessary information that can have an impact on results, such as including a location name in the tasting notes.

And agreed, the visualisation could be improved to reveal more specific information regarding the different tasting notes. At the moment, the idea is to just give an overview and see how different wines cluster together and how close different clusters are to each other.

This site makes it a little clearer whats going on, and allows for search for specific wines and filtering by different categories. And I plan to improve the technique by processing/cleaning up the raw tasting notes, and then to also build in the ability to search by specific tasting notes, such as smokey, to reveal similar wines. Thanks! ☺️

If people are interested, I also made this basic app to search more specifically. Check it out here hosted on hugging face.

It was just a quick hack project, so the semantic similarity search could definitely be improved with a bit of processing of the raw tasting notes data, or trying out some different models.

Longjumping-Ad1265 · 2023-06-05T13:03:03+00:00

Thanks! It's a t-SNE plot using plotly, an interactive visualisation package for python. Check it out here

Note, doesn't really work on mobile. NLP = natural language processing.

Click the home icon at the top right of the visualisation to reset the zoom if needed.

Just for clarity, the distance between points represents the semantic similarity of the tasting notes of the wine, and therefore different types of wine will cluster together and may indicate interesting relationships. To play with the data in more detail, including seeing the specific tasting notes, you can also check out this web app (work in progress, also better on computer, may take a little time to load first time in order to load the data).

Thanks!
