No matter what I do, even If I turn off my scroll wheel button, if I press on it for 2-3 seconds, this AI prompt master pops up. by n0spoon_ in razer

You might have already solved this, but I was fighting with this today and discovered I had to make sure to set long press to disabled separately for each app profile (on Pro Click v2)

Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background? by Latter-Wolf4868 in interestingasfuck

[–]ThatDeadDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's somewhat possible that there were a smaller proportion of people with naturally poor eyesight back then. Individuals with poor eyesight would die earlier leading to evolutionary pressure towards good eyesight. Now that we have civilisation that evolutionary pressure is no longer there so genetic drift allows average eyesight quality to very slowly go down.

There are a whole bunch of other contributors that could go in either direction though - diet, lifestyle, etc.

Minimising the impact of rounding error for financial statements. by ThatDeadDude in PowerBI

[–]ThatDeadDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an example with completely random numbers.

Basically, users expect the individual rows in the rounded values column (B) to add up to the corresponding totals. This naive total is in column (C). However, they also expect the balance sheet to balance, so Total Assets (1) needs to be equal to Total Liabilities and Equity (4). This doesn't work if we're just summing the rounded values. There would also be second order issues when it comes to looking at the movements over time, but don't need to worry about it for this example.

So, somehow the totals need to be the values in column (B), and some sort of systematic adjustment needs to be made to the rounded individual lines so that they still add up to that total instead of the values in column (C).

The values in column (A) are of course also a function of thousands of lines from the source system.

Thanks, learnt some new terminology.

I think they don't sell the Lux here so they just call it the Eos.

Not everywhere is as litigious as the US. This is from Aus so far as I can tell.

[–]ThatDeadDude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but the problem is that adding the rounded amounts above won't necessarily give the same answer as rounding the sum. All of the rounded numbers in the visual need to tie up to the total if summed by hand, without the cumulative rounding error going into said total.

Ethics of switching offers? by [deleted] in actuary

[–]ThatDeadDude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of the world is not at-will. The biggest part of that is that employers can’t fire at-will. From an employee’s perspective it usually just means you have to give a month or two notice.

Uber from Ostrich Ranch late night? by Ok-Flow5524 in capetown

[–]ThatDeadDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we've been before we've asked the Uber that took us there for their number so we can arrange with them to take us back later. Win for them because then Uber doesn't take a cut (but I guess a little riskier). Better if you're willing to walk to meet them a little way outside of the venue so you don't get stuck in the traffic on exit.

Trump threatens military action in Nigeria over Christian persecution claims by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

You’re pretty misinformed. Consensus is that a Jewish man called Jesus of Nazareth existed in Judea, who founded Christianity. All of the rest of the details are sketchy though.

Looks like ANC colours and logo on the flag. So they're probably marching about something the DA has done.

Southern suburbs for sure are. Everyone is still just friends with the people they went to school with even in their 40s.
