Man with Tail

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=453 "Wired" editor and author Chris Anderson explains his theory of "The Long Tail," using the music and film industries as examples. ----- You know something is up when an audience member is taking cell phone photos of the presenter's slides for instant transmittal to a business partner. Chris Anderson does have killer slides, full of exuberant detail, defining the exact shape of the still emerging opportunity space for finding and selling formerly infindable and unsellable items of every imaginable description. The 25 million music tracks in the world. All the TV ever broadcast. Every single amateur video. All that is old, arcane, micro-niche, against-the-grain, undefinable, or remote is suddenly as accessible as the top of the pops. "The power law is the shape of our age," Anderson asserted, showing the classic ski-jump curve of popularity - a few things sell in vast quantity, while a great many things sell in small quantity. It's the natural product of variety, inequality, and network effect sifting, which amplifies the inequality. "Everything is measurable now," said Anderson, comparing charts of sales over time of a hit music album with a niche album. The hit declined steeply, the niche album kept its legs. The "long tail" of innumerable tiny-sellers is populated by old hits as well as new and old niche items. That's the time dimension. For the first time in history, archives have a business model. Old stuff is more profitable because the acquisition cost is lower and customer satisfaction is higher. Infinite-inventory Netflix occupies the sweet spot for movie distribution, while Blockbuster is saddled with the tyranny of the new. Anderson explained that we are leaving an age where distribution was ruled by channel scarcity - 3 TV networks, only so many movie theater screens, limited shelf space for books. "Those scarcity effects make a bottleneck that distorts the market and distorts our culture. Infinite shelf space changes everything." Books are freed up by print-on-demand (already a large and profitable service at Amazon), movies freed by cheap DVDs, old broadcast TV by classics collections, new videos by Google Videos and YouTube online. Even the newest game machines are now designed to be able to emulate their earlier incarnations, so you can play the original "Super Mario Bros." if so inclined - and many are. "I'm an editor of a Conde-Nast magazine [Wired] AND I'm a blogger," said Anderson. In other words, he works both in the fading world of "pre-filters" and the emerging world of "post-filters." Pre-filtering is ruled by editors, A&R guys ("artist and repetoire," the talent-finders in the music biz), studio execs, and capital-B Buyers. Post-filtering is driven by readers, recommenders, word of mouth, and buyers. Will Hearst joined Anderson on the stage and noted that social networking software has automated word of mouth, and that's what has "unchoked the long tail of sheer obscure quantity in the vast backlog of old movies, for example." Anderson agreed, "The marketing power of customer recommendations is the main driver for Netflix, and it is zero-cost marketing." "By democratizing the tools of distribution, we're seeing a Renaissance in culture. We're starting to find out just how rich our society is in terms of creativity," Anderson said. But isn't there a danger, he was asked from the audience, of our culture falling apart with all this super-empowered diversity? Anderson agreed that we collect strongly and narrowly around our passions now, rather than just weakly and widely around broadcast hits, but the net gain of overall creativity is the main effect, and a positive one. Questions remain, though. "Digital rights is the elephant in the room of freeing the long tail." Clearing copyright on old material is a profoundly wedged process at present, with no solution in sight. Will Hearst fretted that we may be becoming an "opinionocracy," swayed by TV bloviators and online bloggers, losing the grounding of objective reporting. Anderson observed that maybe the two-party system is a pre-long-tail scarcity effect that suppresses the diversity we're now embracing. Much of how we run our culture has yet to catch up with the long tail - Stewart Brand, The Long Now Foundation

Patent on "Long Tail" for automated content authorship. FAQ As the video shows, I am working on reference books, reports and educational titles (not fiction or literature). The "algorithms" depend on the genre. The most advanced use parametric, non-parametric as well as Bayesian econometrics, graph theory, and meta analysis (mostly coupled with some specialized computational linguistics and editorial rules that are required within certain genres) -- each piece is rather straight forward; the combination allows complexity. In terms of IT or programming languages, there is no rigidity to this - again it depends on the genre. If animation is the goal, then code is written to write MEL scripts, etc., which can automate Maya, which can in turn automate rendering, lights, etc., via macros. This works well, but for only certain aspects of that genre. For more detailed discussions, here is the patent link: http://www.google.com/patents?id=bHeBAAAAEBAJ&dq=philip+m+parker Some titles are 98 to 100 percent computer automated (e.g. business titles, crosswords, etc.). For health titles, only the format editing and production side is automated. The text in the health books was written by medical professionals and edited by a professional editor; the computer expedited formatting using about 50 odd routines (the preface, chapter intros, glossaries, indexes, headings, margins, etc.); highlights are made to sources generally not known to internet-averse readers or medical practitioners (designed for medical libraries with internet training services). Currently, some 2 percent of the titles rely on government sources for text. None perform a google search, spider the net, etc. Some 98 percent of the titles are wholly generated via automation programs; the applications create original information or content that cannot be found elsewhere (e.g. maximum likelihood trade estimates, latent demand forecasts via a decision calculus approach, Chinese and English crosswords, etc.) - offline applications with no interaction to the internet. In total, there are about 17 genres created this way (about 200,000 titles or so since 2000). It can take several years to set up an application (including all human inputs, licensed sound effects, textures, models, mocap, data, or decision rules that go into any genre-specific application). Platforms (e.g. Maya) pre-exist. The incremental, or marginal creation time per title is mentioned in the video. The genres are blind or peer reviewed and/or vetted by users (e.g. librarians or end-users) before they are put into print. The games are played by kids to see what they like. For 3D games, a pre-existing rendering engine is like a blank word document. The rendering engine is not created from scratch, but licensed (like MS Word). I am mostly now working on education titles for Asian, African, and Native American languages that do not have educational materials (games, supplements, texts, videos, mobile phone books, etc.) written in or augmented by their languages. See my dictionary at: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/credits/editor.html to see a very small percent of the linguistic material used. Watch for a major update and linguistic augmentation to the dictionary this summer when I will also be introducing EVE. She is an "economically viable entity". A step beyond a chat bot, using some of the algorithms mentioned above (with a bit of utility theory and optimal control theory thrown in). There is no "commercial" or "public" or "open source" software that can be used by the general public. Some applications are terabytes large. I am working on a relatively small poetry application for public use -- to be released when completed (probably in a year), which will do several forms of poetry, on any topic the user desires; and allow the user to request "another" if they do not like the first one written, or "change that line", etc. I am not actively working on fiction novels as a priority, though the process is in place for romance novels or similar formulaic types of literature. Fun to do, but not very useful. There are many other areas I am working on, as there are multiple avenues to explore, especially in the areas of new media (mobile and fixed), but more so in high-end analytics and knowledge discovery (i.e. generating knowledge that could not be created otherwise) as applied to business, language and public services (e.g. criminology) - where unmanageable, sparse, disintegrated or larger data sets (off-line) result in new knowledge structures usable by decision makers (e.g. connecting the dots where humans have difficulty doing so, for lack of time or expertise). Thanks for watching the video. Phil

Right from the Websters dictionary! 1 he·li·cop·ter Pronunciation: \ˈhe-lə-ˌkäp-tər, ˈhē-\ Function:noun Etymology: French hélicoptère, from Greek heliko- + pteron wing — more at feather Date: 1887 "An aircraft whose lift is derived from the aerodynamic forces acting on one or more powered rotors turning about substantially vertical axes". It says nothing about being invented to lift straight up. It was a STOL machine at first, and hovering became a bonus! It needs no tail rotor to be called a helicopter. Neither does a CH46 Chinnook or the Russian full size coaxial helicopter. It was built for fun and to see if it would work. It did and I got paid for it! I have plenty of other videos on it describing the benefits, how it works and how it flies. Who cares what I call it!!?? I am amazed that some of you worry about minor things like this. Most who put it down, couldn't fly it anyway. Those same people would crash their model airplanes too and blame the manufacturer. Real planes cannot take crashes either! Why the heck do you think a model airplane or helicopter can take the same abuse. And those of you who try to learn on your own because you don't want to ask for help, I wonder if you would jump into a real heli or plane and think you could fly it without lessons! So for all the so-called "purists" that like to make fun of my title, (which has nothing to do with my ingenuity in this machine) and argue it is not a helicopter),I present this definition right directly quoted from the Websters dictionary! I'M USING A WEATHERVANE EFFECT PROVE A POINT! EXPLODING Helicopters for movies in the 70's gave me the idea, when I found I could land helicopters like airplanes when the tail rotor was blown off. This video shows how we pioneered the equipment by being persistent. So now, is your speed control burned out? Tail rotor broken? You don't need one to have some fun with an old electric heli. (Oh, and by the way, there are no real full size electric helicopters)! In this video, I take you through some of my personal history of Model Notars 1978) and electric Tail Rotor motors. (1979) On my first Electric Tail Rotor MOTOR,(ETRM) Victor Kmosek of Victor Engineering made me a special speed control to run the 2 540 can motors and the tail rotor #370 motor. There were no electric mixers for those, so it was a handful and the speed controllers got red hot and burned out alot, even with big heatsinks. Today we use pulse code, so they are very efficient. Testing was hard too, since 1100 mah nicad batteries were about as big as you could get. There were no NiMh or LiPo batteries then, thus limiting flight times a lot. And on top of that, it was FUN to be able to be able to FLY something, the NAYSAYERS said couldn't. Kyosho (biggest Model Manufacturer in Japan) thought it was a fabulous Idea, manufactured it and it was the Largest Selling model in their history. It has become part of science experiments, featured in Aviation and Space Technology, and on Display at the San Diego Aerospace museum, in the AMA's History of Model Aviation display. I am proud to have proven that if you never give up, you will succeed. Thanks for watching and happy flying.

A step by step tutorial for making a swimmable mermaid tail. PLEASE READ THE FAQ OR READ PREVIOUS COMMENTS BEFORE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS! FAQ: Q: Will you make me a tail? A: No, I cannot make anyone a tail. That is why I made this video. So you can =) Q: Where did you get your monofin and how much did it cost? A: I got my Finis Tempo monofin online for about $50. Try ebay or searching on google. Q: How did you make your top? A: I covered an old swim top with material. Q: How do you get the monofin in and out of the tail? A: You can either leave the bottom open and extend your fabric a few inches past the monofin, or just roll up the monofin and work it in and out of the tail. Q: What is the material called and where do you get it? A: It is just swimwear/dance material. You can find it at craft stores that carry a variety of fabrics. It comes in all kinds of colors and designs. Mine happens to be a teal hologram material. Jo~Ann fabrics is where I go. You can also go to AC Moore arts and crafts. Q: How much is the material? A: Depends on which material you want. At JoAnns it is $15 a yard and 2 yards will make a tail. DISCLAIMER: Always use proper supervision when swimming with your tail. Swimming with the legs bound together is very dangerous and should only be attempted by trained persons. By clicking the subscribe button you can be notified when I upload new videos =) This is my first tutorial. Not the best, I agree, but it is the only one out there =) With that said, please excuse my goofiness and brainfart moments. I winged the whole thing, and only did one take. Click below for a video of me swimming in the tail I made during this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDc1uuF5tDg http://www.myspace.com/Ravendark http://www.myspace.com/FireGypsyDances FireGypsyDancing@gmail.com If you make a tail please send me a picture! I would love to see your creations =) This is actually a shorter version of this tutorial by about 3 minutes. Youtube has a 10 minute length limit and I had to shorten the video. You can find the full-length version in my myspace videos.
