New adaptation

For COVID-19 impact, governments’ subsidies are only for temporary relief. We need to innovate new sub programmes to keep our society moving.

Since gathering activity should disappear, we need new ways to make it possible in virtual, and shift the benefits to real. Focus on location instead of on functionality to support real communities. Those innovations won’t replace our original business model when the world survives normal, but can live together as subservices with the mainstream. And take heavy duty during emergency situations.

Lockdown is not the final solution. No governments afford to stay in this condition until new therapies or vaccines get innovated. People who got government’s supports are lucky. We shall not count our future on luck. All subsidies are only buying time for transformation.

We who commit our future on IT should push our extreme out of boundary, to help our communities move on. We are the possibility.

I put some imaginary solutions on the blog written in my mother language which I am more comfortable with. Here I put the simple concepts due to my ever lacking of time.

Creating order-binding techniques, so that online customers can buy things next store physically, and make delivery together.
Binding order geographically could also lift inessential business.
This makes small businesses free from hiring delivery companies, but extends the hiring of current staff who know how to take care of merchandise, such as dishes and vegetables.

Push for local shopping search and validate drive-through self-pickup or community delivery special.

Create game-scene-like online shopping experience. Often people shop for inessential goods just for relaxing, and won’t mind taking some exploring and adventure. This is why shelf design and shopping environments are so important. Recreate similar experience online, and make “binging order in one delivery” possible. Non-essential supplying and styling shopping stores are never the main purpose of shopping trips. They are benefited by passing by customers. IT should try to recreate and mimic in vertical environments, to support a community as a whole.

Create concurrent verification such as live streaming for goods that condition really matters such as vegetables or fruits. Allow customers verifying its condition and how it is packed. Upon local delivery, customers should see the same condition at receiving. Since it is service from local stores, both would tend to keep good relationships.

Make minor outsources products to stay-at-home staff possible, and create some way to make sure items delivered back are ideal, such as cooking.

If asking about what I did when I was a writer as a  social observer, this post is an example. There are possibilities and I can’t make them done on my own. Then I write.

Take care. During the hard time, we will survive.

Bookmark service (MongoDB & Spring REST) -2/2

    I accidentally deleted my development VM. I got lucky having the habit of taking notes. This blog is useful. Development VM is doom to be lost. Rebuild it waste time, but having a clean slate is refreshing~. What concerns me more is my AWS free quota this month is reaching 85%. The second VM I launched but never being used might be the one to blame. (Of course, my mistake.) I terminated the wrong VM. Now I got Linux 2 built. Great, just threw away everything happened on AMI.  1st layer: Page Page class   Originally, I need to prepare getter/setter for all class properties for Spring. By using lombok, I only need to create constructors. lombok will deal with getter/setter and toString(). But there are chances to call getter/setter, but how? .......Naming convention.... Capitalize the 1st character with the prefix get/set.  Annotation @Data was used on this class.  Repository class Spring Docs: Repository https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/3....

Guide to Preserving HuggingFace Models in Google Colab Environments

Conclusion:  Step 1:  find the model path: ls ~/.cache  Step 2:  Copy the entire folder to Google Drive:  Step 3:  Set model path to the subfolder under snapshot: My Story: I initially began exploring Generative AI (GAI) and Google Colab through Stable Diffusion. In the past, as I mainly wrote server services and console applications, I was less familiar with data science modes like R and Jupyter that can maintain a paused state. I didn't quite understand the heavy burden on Colab of creating a temporary Stable Diffusion WebUI with .ipynb, as suggested by popular guides. I just found it troublesome that connections often took a long time and then dropped, requiring a restart. Recently, while testing new versions of the Stable Diffusion model, and facing challenges due to Colab's policies making various versions of WebUI difficult to run successfully, I started researching how to write my own test programs in Colab. Eventually, I understood that Colab is ess...

Setup Maven and two basic projects

    The interesting implementation of Java I proceed to is Spring. And, only getting Java running is not enough. I also need to set up Maven. This name is new to me, and I found many Spring tutorials just skip this part. At least I need Maven to generate templates for me. I should learn it more. ( I knew there is a great tool -- Eclipse -- can make tedious things disappear. I’m taking a strategy to install all experiments I want to try and throw away when it's full. And that's an external VM, not my PC. I, not yet, want to do research about installing Eclipse on AMI. )    Upgrade to Java 8     First is to upgrade Java on AMI to Java8. AWS provides advanced tools for Linux 2. And DIY for Linux2.
