Is this a parody? I genuinely can't tell if this is an actual product (which, if this is indeed a parody, makes it a great one in my opinion)

Define "same benefits".
Bloom filters allow you to prune the number of files you even have to look at, which matters a lot when there is a coat associated with scanning the files.
Partitioning the data can be advantageous both for pruning (on its sort keys) or for parallel query fan-out (you independently scan and apply the predicate to the high cardinality column in each partition concurrently).
In the use case that underpins the article, they want to minimize unnecessary access to parquet file data because it lives on a high latency storage system and the compute infrastructure is not meant to be scaled up to match the number of partitions. So they just want an index to help find the data in the high cardinality column
Partitioning also prunes the number of files to be looked at. Only the directory structure of the files (or prefixes of the objects in S3) need to be checked.

With large datasets, wouldn't partitioning the data on low cardinality columns give the same benefit without the space overhead?

I propose that we refer to the practice of modules declaring their own dunder methods as “Dunder Miffling”.
Such declarations MUST be preceded by the comment:
# I DECLAREAlternatively, a Boolean variable 'bankruptcy' can be declared in the class to indicate the use of dunder-miffling.
Having lived in India all my life, I’ve never seen one of these notes, or known anyone who used these. They are not part of the cultural zeitgeist - no films or shows that have them for eg.
The only time I’ve seen them mentioned is in news reports about their existence as a campaign, never actual usage.
Another interesting campaign around corruption is ipaidabribe.com to gain some data around this. Unfortunately, both giving and taking bribes is illegal, thus you need anonymity for reports resulting in a lower data quality.
To fix that, there’s proposals to make it legal to pay “harassment bribes” (the ones where the bribe giver does not gain undue advantage).
> Giving complete immunity to the bribe-giver would ensure higher reporting and co-operation of the giver in bringing to justice the bribe taker. The present law acts as a deterrent to reporting of bribery.

In a nutshell, the government does not differentiate between bribery and blackmail. "Harassment bribes" is blackmail, plain and simple.

I would say for amateur video editing, that DaVinci Resolve free edition is ideal candidate, you can go quite in-depth, or just drag & drop and add some transitions; previously I used imovie on mac too (even build a hackintosh first and bought imovie license $12) but it does not add that small extra that was needed.
once I started working with DaVinci.. game changer, from start to finish, with some advanced motion tracking, title overlays, in less than a few hours. Upside is also that there are plenty of tutorials available for DaVinci, from beginner to advanced

I did mention in my original comment that the free version of Resolve refused to import my 10-bit video clips. I was fine with exporting 8-bit.

Great that you got it to work. Just to make the list with potential tools a bit more complete:
- Kdenlive is also a fairly capable video editor. https://kdenlive.org/en/
- From what I have heard the Blender video editor for many people is a go to tool as well. In this case it likely would have been overkill, but figured it is worth mentioning.
I completely missed looking up Kdenlive because I (rather stupidly, in hindsight) assumed KDE implied for Linux only.
I'll keep it in mind for the next time.
And yes, Blender would have been overkill, but I might've gone that route if Openshot didn't work out.

I saw this post hours after I finished a task where this would have come in handy. I had a bunch of HQ video clips from a professional Sony video camera that I needed to string together, with short simple fade transitions. The last time I did this(few years ago), I was using a Mac, and iMovie did the job well. This time, I was on a Windows NUC, and figured Windows MovieMaker should do the trick. Nope.
- Opening Movie Maker redirects to the Photos app, with a note that Microsoft Clipchamp has this functionality now and Movie Maker is deprecated.
- Install Clipchamp and see that its hilariously bad at batch-adding clips to the timeline. Adding 300 clips, one at a time, is a dealbreaker.
- Look up reviews for free 3rd party apps to do this on Windows. Find everyone recommending DaVinci Resolve. Fine. Install Resolve. Looks great. Import my clips, and get only audio. A quick Google search tells me that Resolve free version doesn't support importing 10-bit video. Welp.
- Let's try FOSS then. Shotcut is supposedly better than Openshot. Install Shotcut. Import all clips, add to timeline and export. Takes a few hours to export, displays a Success message and gives me the first few seconds of video, followed by a couple of hours of just audio.
- F** it, let's try Openshot. Hesitant because I've heard a lot of crashing happens, but what do I have to lose. Install. Import clips. Add to timeline. Let's me add transitions. Export takes a few hours. Gives me flawless output file.
Moral of the story: For occasional amateur video editing, Openshot is great.

No Eb is a huge red flag and suggests the creator plays a well-tempered tuned instrument like piano.
D sharp is slightly higher in pitch than Eb in Pythagorean tuning.
Even in tempered music theory, calling a note a sharp or a flat generally depends on the scale.
For eg: Bb major uses: Bb C D Eb F G A Bb while A# major uses: A# B# Cx D# E# Fx Gx A# (x indicates double-sharp) Despite all the notes being exactly the same on a tempered instrument.
