You see it in solar energy forecasts as well. The last 2 decades have been an exercise in forecasters constantly underestimating solar energy generation. It’s actually quite embarrassing. The problem I think is that the analysts in these ar

The worst part about these discussions is that no one actually remembers what they learn in high school unless they build upon it further in college (or it’s something they’re more likely to encounter it in day to day life, such as history,

Basically what we’ve found is that students need a better understanding of statistics, visualizations, etc. But just because these are mathematical concepts why do they have to replace math in the curriculum? Logically, shouldn’t they repla

Just because a system works doesn’t mean all outcomes out of the system when it’s working are equally good. Even the best working system will still require people to make good decisions to have the best outcomes.

From that thread it does appear that register-use-previews seems to be the toggle for this behavior (although it mentions a bug where even if it’s set to never a certain workflow is prompting a confirmation). That would resolve any concerns

You’re missing the double quote before the ‘d’ which means you’re talking about a register.

I’m a VIM user, not an emacs user so I don’t have a dog in this fight, but if the equivalent change was made in VIM it would pretty much be unusable for me. My muscle memory related to this feature would be completely broken. I can’t think

Problems with a large open source project are never about a single individual. Individuals will make mistakes and have wrong opinions. The problem here appears to lie with the larger eMacs development community.

I’m guessing a big part of this is that MS had this in 2018 despite having a less successful product and being a younger participant in the industry.

I think it’s a stretch to say that it’s hard to draw any conclusion. There are many extremely useful conclusions one can draw. Especially when placed in other studies that have been done in this area. There’s a lot more data that probably w

Everything Steve Jobs might have staged in his demos was available on the iPhone when it released. Are you suggesting that next week Gemini will indeed be able to do everything it was shown to do with the latency that was shown?

If it is impressive enough then it’s even stupider that Google faked it. Also, when the iPhone was released it did all the things that were “demoed” (I don’t remember the presentation so I don’t know if it was demoed the way Google did with

I’d imagine when you’re minutes away from losing auxiliary power without any idea when main power will return that’s an easy trigger for worst case actions. Here it seems people were waiting 45 mins to an hour after that happened.

GSuite is an awful product for an employer. If you have a problem there’s no one available to help you. On the MS side they will literally pull an engineer who is writing the code for the product you have a problem for to help resolve the i

Nadella is as much of an MBA type as Pichai. Their education and career paths are incredibly similar. The difference is Nadella is a good CEO and Pichai isn’t. Part of it could also be a result of circumstance. Nadella came at a time when M
