Well, I haven't made that up myself - I got the idea from linguistics books - and from people that lived there for a long time. And those linguists were very clear that the language came first and then syllable script…
When learning a bit of Japanese to me it was quite obvious that the script was most likely intentionally left (or made) complicated. By using a normal alphabet that actually fits to the structure of Japanese language it…
Yes it does. In some distributions receiving calls was a problem (they slept too deep and woke up too slow). With Mobian for me it now works stable enough to be used as a daily driver.
Well, it works fine as a phone. With Mobian it is stable enough for me to be a daily driver. When I need performance I usually turn to real computers or specialized gadgets.
Improvements in build-time are very valuable to me. But I'm not sure if a cloud would help me much. Synching can easily eat up 10s. Also my tools are very unique (including a parser that I wrote myself). To be faster…
I recently experimented with a ram disk. Practically it didn't change anything. OS-caching seems to already be clever enough and once the OS has figured out that some directories are important anything in there seemed…
Great news... Compile time or a clean build? I use similar tooling (older version... :-)). And I'm starting to evaluate what's going on with those new versions.
Comparing compile times is done rarely. I sometimes tried to google some comparisons, but didn't find much. For a typical 1,5 MLOC project my clean build times are sitting around 40 seconds. I think that's pretty good,…
That keyboard was fantastic. I hope the PinePhone Keyboard will be able to reach this level.
I once took one of these online-tests for spotting deep fakes. By marking anything that has reflections in the eyes as fake I got only 1 answer wrong (the real guy there looked really strange).
And still nobody bothered to check what kind of trend-changes are visible in the epidemiological curves around the time of masking. People never look at "date of death" or "infection date" all they care about is…
I use Mobian on the Pinephone as a daily driver. Other distributions I tried were not stable.
I don't really know what those people in physics do, but as a mathematician my definition of a time-crystal would be a 4-dimensional discrete structure. You have some 4-dimensional symmetries. Just rotating in 3D is a…
I'm not very optimistic about avoiding a "Dark Age". Rational thinking and the idea to look at data seems to be completely foreign to most people I know. Higher educated people seem to absorb and repeat dogmas and…
1:1 is also nice. https://www.eizo.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/
A few patterns about rationality I have seen a lot recently: False rationality - People claim to be rational while touting some dogma they learned somewhere. Not even looking at any data. And when given data or…
I liked the Celestron Nexstar 6SE. Weight still ok and not too small. Something to tinker with a bit and quite easy to use.
Even more disturbing is that people outright refuse to take a look at numbers to check what measures actually did. Just mentioning datasources and asking people to look can attract a lot of downvotes. People just…
The number of of actively infected non-quarantined people is relevant. Take a look at RKI-dashboard for Jena. This Jena paper is a serious fake. I think mask measures are not working correctly - all the masks are way…
Take a look at the data from RKI dashboard for Jena. The number of actively infectious people in April that were not already quarantined is pathetic. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/478220a4c454480e823...
Oh no, not again this fake-paper... In Jena there were about one dozend(?) infected people when masks were introduced. And the imaginary trend-change there doesn't even fit - it is too early. The paper talks about…
Very well written. I always preferred mathematics to chess, because the competitive aspect of chess always seemed to hinder collaboration. Seeing the same lack of collaboration in university was really disappointing.…
Do lockdowns help? A lot of countries with hard lockdowns had really bad curves. A slow fire maybe sometimes burns better. A place where everybody gets infected can maybe be more dangerous for visitors when you increase…
Also getting your hand at good data isn't so easy nowadays. E.g. reporting date can be very different from actual date of death. My area once lagged 3 months. Interesting to read about a peak at the start of November.…
