I never find the speed and acceleration of the Apple Trackpads slow. Out of curiosity, how are you moving your fingers when you want the mouse to travel long distances? What I do is repetitions of the movement on same area of the trackpad , e.g. my finger never drags more than two inches of the surface. I also have tap to click disabled, and use my middle finger to move, thumb to do left click, and middle + ring finger for right click.

The comparison to Klingon is really short-sighted, though. Even though Klingon and Esperanto are both constructed languages, Klingon is a fictional language, created to mimic a natural language. Esperanto, on the other hand, is a mature, elegant language, designed to be easy and versatile. That's why Esperanto has a rich body of literature written in and about the language, and Klingon doesn't; why Esperanto has official offices at the United Nations; why UNESCO documents are translated into Esperanto; why Shakespeare has been translated into Esperanto.

Stop Treating AI Models Like People (2023)
I worked with search and ads model at Google, for most things tree models were better. What evidence do you have that neural nets are better there? I worked with large parts of Google search ranking so I know what I'm talking about, some parts you want a neural net but most of the work is done by tree models and similar, they both perform better and run faster.

This is a bit tongue in cheek, but it is also kind of true:

The easiest way for Google to detect spammy, low-quality content is to ... simply add up the number of Google Ads placements on the page.

Those flooding the internet with garbage content are doing so because the verbiage is tightly intermingled with Google Ad placements, that's the business model.

Google -could- go a step further and deactivate those accounts, but that would impact their revenue, so nah.
There's also the aspect of "Ok, you have detected methane release from melting permafrost, what are you going to do about it?" Capping a leaking oilhead is fairly straightforward.

Brexit was a theoretically non-binding referendum, the politicians proceeded with it for much the reasons you give — but it turned out that even amongst the MPs, a majority opposed each and every specific and detailed form that they could suggest for what it might look like in practice, including both "cancelling it" and "ask the people in another referendum": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_votes_on_Brexit#...

That kind of deadlock is a good reason for them to be non-binding. In this case Westminster "solved" it by replacing the Prime Minister with a pathological liar who convinced enough people that everything was good for long enough to get something done before his lies finally caught up with him, which isn't really good governance.

I imagine if you use reddit a lot, you should bump its relevancy and add a lens for it, as other folks here described. But from that I see, it does decently even without that - even for topics where there's a lot of garbage contents, like reviews, it returns mostly the legit review sites, even though choosing which one do you trust would be a challenge. If you have your preferences, then bumping the relevance for these sites is easy.

The industrial revolution, mass communications, and the internet killed peasantry. We are their replacement.

Result? The old oppressors are selling off their assets. New gold rushes are in attention, convenience, medicine and abstract fiscal acrobatics. One wonders if there is a next stage, or if we are doomed to hone the arts of doublespeak and externalizing costs.

I wonder if someone has worked on automatic translation of Excel spreadsheets with formulas to a proper programming language. Using the Python openpyxl package, you can read an Excel spreadsheet and get the contents of each cell, either a value or a formula. Having stored this data, it should be possible to

(1) look for changes in formulas, which could indicate an error. Why is the formula for cell A99 different from that in A100?

(2) write formulas in Python/NumPy or another language that replicates the formulas.

Beyond it being a little harder to get an apartament due to the influx of Ukrainian migrants, it's business as usual. And I've not heard of any job market woes.

> But when you're talking about tabular data for finance I guarantee you very few hedge funds are running tree models for trading strategies

What do you base this on? Having only neural nets on tabular data is mostly done due to laziness of the creator since neural nets are much easier to use, not because neural nets perform better even with large amounts of data. In general you want both since they are good at finding different kinds of patterns.

You can also detect pressure by just measuring how much of your finger is touching the pad. A small spot means light pressure, a large spot where your skin is flatted out more against the glass is higher pressure. In practice these kinds of measurements are fairly tricky so they don't get used very much.

PT automatically adjusts the number of stories that make it into a sprint. They don't really have a concept of sprint actually... it is just average velocity over time and the number of stories that can fit into that average.

If a PM wants to see how adding in just one more feature impacts the schedule, they can just drag the pointed story into the queue and see what gets pushed out to the next week.

If a developer goes on vacation, it is easy to see how that impacts the schedule cause you can subtract their average velocity.

Most people don't understand this killer feature of PT unless they've actually spent a bunch of time using it. It really enables you to do accurate project estimates, if you do it right.

No kidding! On the first try you accidentally end up causing a revolution because the targets/specimens ended up learning about the scientific method, gunpowder, and other dangerous things instead of just getting a proper advanced consciousness installed. So now all you can do is try to shape said species technological progress towards building the correct technology that you can hijack for your own purposes when ready.

Controllers kind of do that. At the end of the day, it's what makes designing a memory controller so difficult (and I'm not even talking about the Phy, those things are straight up cursed!) We see these eye popping numbers for maximum potential bandwidths, but the reality is a bit more complicated. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes with opening and closing memory banks, refreshes, and general read and write latencies. Unoptimized prediction algorithms (as they are programmable) can result in losing _half_ of your performance.
I went through the install process 5 minutes before I posted. Using the same installer I recorded a video and converted it to GIF. I redownloaded the installer to check and it still does this.

Note that while its large in the gif because I only clipped the installer, the installer is the entire focus here and the actual window size is small and it was very easy to miss on a full desktop. The installer doesn't full screen and just sits in a little box.

$100k would only hire a single employee, it wouldn't even cover getting them into the field let alone setting up and maintaining infrastructure over the course of a year.

It's possible to reduce this number by taking advantages of labor conditions and goodwill, but that turns out to be a ton of legwork if you want a reliable team in the area year after year.

For example, in an anthro field school you might source local labor by identifying people who want to learn about their ancestors, and you'll expect a lot of community outreach and Q&A sessions around what you're studying.

You could attempt a similar approach for studying methane but I'd personally expect the Q&A sessions to include a heavy undertone of "convince me we shouldn't just kill the people involved", and all of my arguments against would be from the perspective of a system they don't really give a shit about. I'd certainly never put myself in that position.
That's just speech. There were no actions. Getting together to talk about political action if they were to get democratically elected is a lot different than blowing things up, interfering with travel, and destroying actual property, etc.
