Where do you start learning these workflows, as in do you have any you would recommend?
What parts specifically are untrue/exaggerated? Asking because I am not in the know.
What's up with all the links on the page? None of them work for me.

Have you tried asking ChatGPT to help explain the notation? I haven't tried that myself, but have read that it can work[0].

Great advice - have any other great compilations?

Can't just hit it once - have to a few times just to make sure.
Re:Tesla Cybertruck payload capacity 29% less than promised on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @02:04PM (#38449826)
Did that $52k include dealer markup? Pretty sure they top out around $40K fully-loaded.

Would clean up if everyone could get one. I placed an order for a 2023 and had to place another order for a 2024. I am still waiting. In the meantime I had to buy out my existing lease since the used car market was nuts, and I am pretty sure I am now under water on that lease.

Remarkable. I really like it. There are a lot out there now: Supernote and Fujitsu Quaderno seem like high-quality products; Onyx Boox has more features; Kindle Scribe is out now, too, and the reviews are good.

I got an e-ink notepad, which helped organize my thoughts better than the 10 different legal pads I would jump between. Still disorganized, but at least now my notes for a single topic are in one place.

For a calendar, my wife hung this acrylic calendar on the kitchen wall and we update it at the beginning of every month. I try to add things as they come up, and I often forget to add things if they are in future months, but it's helped for me to keep track of family arrangements. Any personal appointments I make on my own I try to put immediately into my google calendar, and then my work calendar is completely separate. As I'm typing this I realize I rely heavily on others to manage most of my time...

You aren't wrong, but the topic of interest here is the volcanic eruption. They are also relatively common compared to elsewhere in the world, but most are small and not in populated areas. See: https://www.visiticeland.com/eruption/
I believe they are referring to being disturbed by using "they" vs "us", implying they are not a part of human civilization.
What?
Re:Kalman Filter Tutorial: Kalman Filter from the Ground Up on Monday October 16, 2023 @12:38PM (#37902444)
I would love to know more about the similarities. Can you share any resources that utilize Kalman filters in rating systems?
Re:"We'll call it AI to sell it, Machine Learning to Build it" on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @12:39PM (#37846733)
I think that's a good way to look at it. Math is a way to stats, stats and math are a way to do data science, data science is a foundation of machine learning, and machine learning is a tool to create AI.
I had to look up FCL - it's a Full Container load (shipping container).

Now is the perfect time to watch those old ones that you missed. I'm doing it with my son and love it, probably more than he does.

I went to a hotel and loved the mattress so I emailed them, and it was a Classic Brands Cool Gel. I bought one and am very happy with it, and it was relatively cheap compared to some of the DTC brands out there and extremely cheap compared to mattress stores. You can get it on amazon but some of the branding is confusing. I think we bought the Cool Gel Chill, although a quick glance online shows there are fairly similar. I also recommended it to some of my family and they are happy with the choice.

The hotel was also great. If you're ever in Houghton in the UP of Michigan, I would highly recommend the Vault hotel.

Yeah, but banks don't profit by holding money for months.

If it was Jordan, that would be true. With Kareem, I'm not so sure that's the case - "But that ain't me today. I'm 75. The only time I ever think of the record is when someone brings it up."

I understand your sentiment, and agree with it in some contexts, but look what HBO Max added as an intro [1]: "a prime text for examining expressions of white supremacy in popular culture ... it is precisely because of the ongoing, painful patterns of racial injustice and disregard for Black lives that Gone with the Wind should stay in circulation and remain available for viewing, analysis and discussion. ... an opportunity to think about what classic films can teach us."

Re:Is TypeScript actually worth It? on Friday January 13, 2023 @10:26AM (#34369025)
It's a pointless point to make, and I think people are rightfully calling you out for it. "If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle."
Re:Temporary policy: ChatGPT is banned on Monday December 05, 2022 @04:20PM (#33872084)
I think this is a good point, but misses the benefit of causing us to question everything posted and read all comments with a hint of skepticism about the motivations of the poster. Is what they posted correct? Are they shaping data to serve their own conclusions? Is it a robot who's purpose is to destroy humanity? The last one is obviously a joke and you shouldn't jump to a conclusion like that.

I didn't even know this existed. Going to have to look it up!!

I had an old HP printer from 2009 that I finally got rid of this year. The case was broken, the tray was falling off, and it spent years collecting dust. It still worked! Only the ink dried out. I'm curious about the reliability of printers, and how often people have to replace them.
