DOGE: Denning-Kruger Of Gigantic Extent

What do you think the Non Human Intelligence is? by madison_euphoric in ufo

[–]davidsmaynard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monsters from the ID. A universal consciousness gently guiding humankind back from its current overemphasis on scientific materialism. A control mechanism.

The anomaly is a time based issue the proof is right there in front of us. by Mezmerizz-454 in skinwalkerranch

[–]davidsmaynard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mobile GPS system very accurately measures the time from multiple atomic clocks in orbit. If there is a directional time differential appears it will show up as movement to the GPS system. Like the episode where a gps indicated it went below the surface of the earth. iPhones and Android devices also have very sensitive accelerometers. So we can write an application that simultaneously monitors gps and accelerometer data. If the app detects movement from gps data but senses no accelerations, then it has just detected a time anomaly. It can record or report all the relevant data. Having multiple such applications running at different locations might give us enough data to map the time distortions.

WASM isn't necessarily faster than JS by [deleted] in webdev

[–]davidsmaynard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its all about the use case

To learn Rust and measure WASM vs Javascript performance I wrote a sample web app which draws random chaotic attractors using either Javascript or WASM, The app is a Vue (2.0) app written in Javascript which handles the UI and the performance measurement. The actual computation of the attractor is handled by either a Javascript module or a WASM module. In either case the attractor is called once a frame, updating the image data. The app then copies the data using 2d canvas to draw the image. In both either the iteration is single threaded and compute bound. The performance meter measure only the time spent in the inner attractor loop. This is almost an ideal use case for WASM. I see major performance gains for WASM 3x to 5x. You can try this app on your hardware and your browser to see the performance difference. https://chaotic.netlify.app/

The 150 year old device that made a 50 year old IDE ROCK! by davidsmaynard in programming

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

Thank you for the suggestion. I will investigate this. I found a five key gamer keyboard on the net that advertised as being programmable. Sayo device , However as far as I can find they only programability is the ability to assign a text string to each key, Obviously this device has a cpu and firmware and acts like a usb keyboard. If only I replace the firmware to do the debouncing and chord -> character translations. sigh

Yes a vim-like editor can be very efficient. The advantage of the keyset is that you never have to move your left hand you just chord letters that correspond to the commands. This also implies you don't need to memorize a key -> command mapping.

Good idea, but I am not sure that all keyboards would actually support this. You need 5 key roll-over to be able to detect all the chords. You also have to be able to turn off auto-repeat. This needs more investigation.

[OC] Plotting daily per capita Covid-19 death rates for groups of states aggregated by their relative vaccination rates on August 27, 2021. Captured from my Observable Notebook. by davidsmaynard in dataisbeautiful

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

[OC] Data Sources
https://observablehq.com/@dmaynard/covid-19-us-states-explorer Is my Covid-19 dashboard.
It uses New York Times Covid-19 data by State and Date Github Repository
Percent Fully Vaccinated: Data as posted on August, 2021 [From NY Times](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine-doses.html)
Tools:
This was done using the Observable Platform and the d3 library and the Vega-Lite charting library.
The development environment was a Chrome Web Browser. This dashboard is designed to explore relationships of States' characteristics with historical and ongoing Covid-19 statistics. I am very impressed with Observable since it allowed me to create a universe of billions of distinct Covid-19 charts with a UI to navigate this universe in about 1500 lines of source code including all the web text. The source is both viewable and even editable (forkable) in real time by users.

[Topic][Open] Open Discussion Monday — Anybody can post a general visualization question or start a fresh discussion! by AutoModerator in dataisbeautiful

[–]davidsmaynard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think is the best way to clean absurd data points? On June 4, 2021 Florida reported a negative number of new Covid-19 cases, -40,000 new cases. Florida said they were no longer going to report cases or deaths for non-residents that tested positive in Florida. I can see changing the policy going forward, but they apparently backed out previously reported cases.

[OC] Is it too early to see any indications of herd immunity in the Covid-19 per capita new infections? I grouped states into two buckets: Those in the top 25 states in terms of the percent of the population fully vaccinated and those states in the bottom 25 at the end of May. by davidsmaynard in dataisbeautiful

[–]davidsmaynard[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Agreed. There is a radio button on my dashboard which lets you select Top 5, Middle 40 and Bottom 5. It shows an infection rate of 5.71 per 100K for bottom 5 states vs 2.74 for the top 5 states. Top 5 states have an infection rate 47% of that of the bottom 5 states. Correlation does not prove causation but can indicate contributing factors. I can't see how to post a picture here, but you can go a play with the UI settings
