0BSD has the slight advantage of Google placing it on their pre-approved licenses list, which means Google can use a 0BSD project but not an MIT-0 project: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/thirdpar

The key positions are also different from a normal keyboard: all rows are shifted by 1/4, whereas a QWERTY keyboard has 1/2 shifts between rows 1-Q and A-Z, and 1/4 between Q-A. From a psychological UX perspective, I'd p

The scrambling is easy to see once you know it's happening: press k and l simultaneously on your Thinkpad keyboard. It'll always come out "lk" unless you deliberately separate them. Testing was done [0], but it's no

I checked the keyboard debouncing logic [0] and it was fine. Some keyboards from other manufacturers, notably Lenovo Thinkpads, have absurd debouncing algorithms that scramble keys or add delays, so it's good to see Framework has a cor

True, but the original title makes it much harder to understand what the story might be before clicking through. No doubt Google deliberately chose the title to do this, and this corporate strategy does successfully manipulate HN's tit

I typed notes throughout my undergrad, and it worked poorly. Everything in math is slow to type and fast to handwrite: subscripts, exponents, arrows, matrices, Greek letters, labels, diagrams, integrals, fractions. My shorthand omitted all

I hadn't considered defining curiosity before. I looked up curiosity on wikipedia but didn't see an answer that I liked. A simple definition is that curiosity for something comes from the desire for a better mental model of that t

I read the paper, and agree with your impression of its quality. With training, it is possible to navigate a shaky field like social psychology, so I'll provide my estimates here. The paper was written in 2013, so it's not pre-reg

Another instance of suspicious behavior from Ariely: he has an experiment which shows that most people cheat a little, and very few cheat a lot. The experimental method involves prying off the teeth of shredders with a screwdriver. However,

The sad thing is, Ranked Choice Voting isn't even the scientific consensus. The theorists have settled around cardinal and almost-cardinal methods (which IRV=RCV isn't), and the advocates who follow theorists have settled on Appro

I believe you are stating that Score0to2 one-sided strategy should measure worse than plurality one-sided strategy. I don't think this is an obvious claim. It seems to depend on the underlying distribution of candidate quality (especia

Small correction: The term "bullet voting" means voting for one candidate only (001000), rather than voting 0 or 1 on each candidate (101011). It is caused by low engagement from the voters, who only take the time to learn about o

Convolutional reverb has the advantage of being able to easily replicate real, recorded rooms. But all of its other properties are worse than an algorithmic reverb when both are implemented correctly.
