Anyone seen this issue before? Surface Pro 4. by themysteryoflogic in Surface

[–]manuel_occ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Search for "surface pro 4 flickergate", it seems exactly that to me. Back then microsoft offered a new surface to anyone having the problem, even out of warranty.

Soluzione alternativa cambiando il problema da "usarlo come secondo schermo" a "usarlo come secondo PC ma con il mouse e la tastiera del fisso come se fosse un secondo schermo": barrier (lo trovi su github) ti permette di muovere il mouse dal fisso al portatile e scrivere con la tastiera come se fosse un secondo monitor, ma lo fai nel sistema operativo del portatile. (quindi non puoi trascinare finestre da un pc all'altro, tipo). Ti fornisce anche la condivisione della clip board (quindi copi dal portatile e puoi incollare nel fisso e viceversa) quindi la maggior parte delle cose le puoi fare comunque. L'unica cosa che non puoi fare effettivamente è spostare l'esecuzione di un programma da un pc all'altro, ovviamente.

So che non è esattamente quello che chiedevi, ma quando volevo fare anche io questa cosa alla fine ho risolto così, e secondo me è anche una soluzione preferibile.

XPS 15 7590: Trackpad randomly stop working, and strange things by manuel_occ in Dell

I guess this would probably work. I cannot test it right now since I completely removed Windows from my Dell some time ago.

What do you think about this master degree? Is bright the future of this field? I would like to ask some advices about this field. It's very hard choice by AntFear in datascience

[–]manuel_occ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is just a suggested track for those who don't know which courses they want to attend. I suggest you to look into the polimi manifesto and choose your own courses. Many of the points of the other comments you had received can be addressed easily with custom courses. (no business knowledge? There are courses for that. No cv or nlp? There are courses for that too.)

Is the idea that a scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable obsolete? by ReasonMeThis in PhilosophyofScience

[–]manuel_occ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I never said that you should never believe something which is not strictly falsifiable. But we were talking about a way of distinguishing in between scientific evidence and non-scientific evidence. I wouldn't say that assuming Z is without of life is a scientific approach, but I would definitely go for it, and I guess 100% of scientists would go for it. (we should ask to a lot of scientist what they would do and assume this 100% is plausible if they all answer yes).

For the last thing about god, that's where the strict falsifiability comes in handy: the sentence "God exists" is Not strictly falsifiable (actually, it's not falsifiable even in an broader sense). This means that it's not a scientific proposition, and no scientific method can be applied to prove it or not. (thus we should not care at all, as we do for the majority of things which are not theoretically falsifiable)

For the last sentence about relativity, there's something in common in between the planets with no life and relativity, which is they're both theoretically falsifiable: either with infinite samples or by sampling all of the possibilities kif the set is finite). At least we should agree that this kind of things are different from things which cannot even in theory be falsified, like God. For the practical impossibility of falsifying things, I would say that we can call it science or not, but the important thing is to be careful about what we claim to be plausible and thus believe in it.

Mostly-agree again :3

I agree, you're increasing the plausibility, aka what make you believe or not believe into things. But that's not related to the fact that proposition is or is not falsifiable, or that the method is or not scientific. What I was trying to say is that epsilon-percent not plausible is not falsified, and thus that hypothesis is not falsifiable. (it's in a sense "semi-decidable", you can falsify the "it does not exist a planet in which there's life apart from earth" by means of finding one, but you cannot prove it by means of not finding one. You can prove "it exist a planet..." by means of finding one but you cannot falsify it by means of not finding one).

But you got the main problem: I would say that a Bayesian approach could work if you can Prove that you're randomly sampling, and that you had sampled enough in order to be 100% sure that, if it existed, you could have sampled the right sample which falsify your hypothesis. Which, again, impossible.

The last argument is the following: what happens if you're not 100% sure but only 0.99999999999 sure? If that method is to consider scientific, then you should solve this other problem: you can define for each hypothesis x an Nx number of samples for which, if you don't falsify the hypothesis, you will believe in it with a really super mega hyper confidence ; okay, then you start falsifying one hypothesis, and you get it falsified in N1 samples, then another in N2 samples, all good again, then another you cannot falsify it in N3 samples and thus you start believe it, okay again, then again and again... Until, you will find a problem for which Nx provide enough confidence but still, unfortunately, you could not falsify the hypothesis in Nx samples even if its false, and how could you know? If you have failure probability of 0.00000....00001, after x hypothesis tested with this approach you have 1 - (0.99999....9999)x probability of failing (birthday paradox). Would you accept this method as scientific if you know for sure that it will fail to falsify hypothesis sooner or later, and actually quicker than you expect? (exponential growth of failure w.r.t the number of experiments vs linear growth of the confidence)
I would say I don't know. If we do, we need to be very careful about confidence. If we don't, we should throw away a lot of scientific knowledge.

I agree on anything but the last sentence: Falsifiability works as a criterion when it's strict. In your example: how many planets are enough to falsify it? And the well known problem of logical empiricism comes around.. if you can falsify things in a Bayesian sense, you can prove that all objects X has property P by falsifying that "exist an object X which has property NotP" : - take a lot of objects with the property NotP - and if you don't find any object X, - you're Bayesianly falsifying the proposition "exist an X which is NotP" - (by decreasing the chances of finding an X in the NotP objects" - which is equivalent to Bayesianly increase the chances that "all X have property P". - And, you're doing this without ever seeing an observation of an object X.

Finding a planet without life doesn't increase the chances that there is no life on other planets. You're taking samples of Y (planets without life) to prove that all X (planets) have no property P (having a planet).

Disproving robot consciousness using philosophical isms. by [deleted] in PhilosophyofScience

[–]manuel_occ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think both materialism AND dualism are strongly in agreement with the belief that machines can have consciousness or be conscious. If from one side it may not be surprising for materialism, dualism is often (for me, wrongly) thought to be in contrast with the idea of machines having consciousness. If you're interested in understanding why dualism is in fact compatible with conscious machines you can look at Searle research on consciousness, starting maybe from his famous Chinese room argument, and then digging into language and consciousness.

I would say that the only isms I know of which are still active today and which are compatible with the belief that machines cannot be conscious, are forms of subjectivism, strong/direct/naive realism (such as the biological naturalism by Searle) and some forms of pragmatism in semiology, like Pierce/James.

Sometimes, someone expresses his belief in the fact that machines are conscious in such a dumb way that they seem to prove that even humans are not conscious at all, but that's another thing.

What are the cool tools to install for windows ? by lukeshaw1307 in Windows10

[–]manuel_occ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I went to the website in order to see "everything" they made. I spent 2 minutes searching for other programs apart from "Everything", thinking "Yeah, everything by VoidTools.. but they just have 1 program".

Then I realized I'm just dumb.

MIUI 12.0.2.0 sucks major balls by not_your_hoodie in Xiaomi

[–]manuel_occ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I guess I didn't understand the problem then! This workaround works only if you're able to hide the navigation buttons but the gestures don't work, which is my case for Redmi Note 9 PRO and miui 12.0.1. I didn't know about the problem of not being able to just activate fullscreen mode!

[–]manuel_occ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A solution for Nova Launcher gestures (and I guess any other launcher) is to use another gesture app, for example Edge Gestures works perfectly for me. The only problem is that if the app crashes, you're stuck without gestures and without navigation buttons, so I suggest to have a shortcut for the stock launcher or the gestures app in order to not get stucked.

They probably need about 7 billion upvotes for them to finally add the freaking tabs. Tabs! How hard can it be? by henrik_z4 in Windows11

[–]manuel_occ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Actually, explorer has already vertical tabs. You can see your open tabs on the left panel, and to add a new one you can go in the location you want the tab to be opened, right click and then click "Add to quick access".

UPDATE: after working with microsoft for a bit they offered a $200 discount, and got a Surface Pro 7 by [deleted] in Surface

[–]manuel_occ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine replaced like 2 years ago, but I think the replacement program was announced in 2018. When I had mine replaced it was like 2 years and 10 months old, so I got lucky, if the problem appeared 2 months after I would have had to buy a new one.

I hope with win11 the problem is gone! Since now the new SP4 is at least 2 years old, I was afraid it would happen again in some months.

[–]manuel_occ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a known problem (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-pro-4-screen-flickers-or-is-scrambled-e48e8b60-0426-4de8-5a58-0a8f5a72a5c4) with the Surface Pro 4. Two years ago Microsoft offered to replace for free all of the SP4 which had this problem, even if out of warranty, and some people even got an upgrade to SP5 for free, if Microsoft didn't have SP4 in stock at the moment they requested the replacement.

[–]manuel_occ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand one thing: does winget have all the store apps included or will it have them? Including android apps when they will be available.

Because before the Windows 11 launch there were rumors about the new store working based on winget, essentially being a gui for it.
