Oleophobic coating is standard on phones and tablets, which is part of why they don’t pick up fingerprints as easily.
Some brands offer coating you can DIY yourself (eg ProofTech OLEOPEL) but these seem mostly designed for phone screens. I don’t know whether they’d be as effective on laptop screens
Similarly, it's possible to take the derivative of a song. You can use a Fourier transform to express the song's waveform as a series of sin and cosine functions, then take the derivative.
Imagine, for the sake of simplicity, you could express the song's waveform with the function 13 * sin(41x).
The derivative of this function is 533 * cos(41x).
Cosine, of course, is just a phase shifted sine, and the constant coefficient inside the function stays the same. So you're not changing anything about the shape of the wave, just stretching it vertically.
This has the effect of mimicking a "high pass filter," amplifying the volume of the highs.
Well, you get the frequency domain derivative. This is the same as scaling the time domain by a linear ramp. Not exactly hugely useful, unless you happen to be in radar.
You can take the finite difference with eg np.diff(waveform) though.
Google and lots of other firms use a "leap smear" to hide the leap second from end users, essentially "smearing" the second across the hours before and after each leap.
I guess it shouldn’t be surprising for this post to be LLM-written when the author’s point is that they use LLMs to write a bunch of social media posts, but it still makes me a little sad.
I get why it reads that way, but this post was written by me. I actually spent more time on this Show HN than on most client deliverables this week. The irony isn't lost on me though — when you work with LLMs all day, your own writing starts picking up the patterns.
FWIW, I'm a solo dev in Taiwan trying to make AI tools more accessible here. Mobile penetration is nearly universal but AI adoption is still very early. I'm learning as I build.
i'm gonna write this terrible news in all lowercase cause it's super aesthetic. maintain a bit of professionalism for the 4,000 people whose lives i'm throwing into turmoil? i don't think so, i have my shift key taped over so i don't accidentally show respect to anybody
Yes absolutely. Text casing is part of communication, by skipping it an author is saying: "I'm going to prioritise my preferences and making a statement above your understanding and clarity". The bigger the audience the more negative impact it has, and the more entitled the author appears.
Along the same lines though, txt spk to friends is a) far lower impact with the smaller audience, and b) communicates other factors such as what device you're on or how close you are to someone, so this is not me just hating on bad grammar.
Bad grammar is usually lack of care or education or knowledge.
100% lower case is 100% a choice.
Thanks jack dorsey, for letting us know you're that sort of person. At least he refers to himself that way too, although he should sign off with: jack off.
It conveys an informality and casualness inappropriate to situation of declaring that you are about to disrupt a few thousand people's life in a massive way. Even posting it to Twitter before everyone has been notified is... a choice.
Some people won't perceive that, but plenty will, and appropriately so.
I severely doubt if the hiring teams at this company would take someone seriously if their application was sent in in this style. I severely doubt that they communicate with their clients and investors this way.
This is a financial services company, it goes with the territory that they should project careful attention to detail.
Even if this was a company in a much less serious industry, this is just not the kind of announcement that a CEO should send out without fixing all the squigly lines that helpfully tell you when you are about to come across as uneducated or unserious.
ur right it dosnt matter. im gonna type all my communications at work like thisn wo. im sure noone will mind. my choice to completely disregard the rules fo english orthography doestn convey anything at all
Not saying this is the case here by any means, but I've disabled all the assistive/autocorrecting technology on my phone's keyboard because ironically it make it more usable. So now I don't even get automatic capitalization.
He didn't even write it. There's one phrase where there is a curly apostrophe vs a straight apostrophe. He likely only wrote one single phrase in the entire thing and used AI for the rest of it.
There's no real arbitrage opportunity because he booked the hotel and flights on points. It likely would've been considerably more expensive overall if he'd booked in cash.
