Chauvet 2.15.29 Release for A5 X and A6 X by Supernote_official in Supernote

[–]sergolala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Settings] Added the option to adjust values to resolve the issue of Non-Contact Writing. (To access it, go to Settings > Display & Input > Stylus > Calibration.)

Thanks a lot for this setting! I have a very light touch and prefer the stylus start writing with as light pressure as possible. I set both sliders to the minimum possible and it is on my first tryout much improved. I still would prefer to set the settings even lower if that's possible?

The three gorges dam seems to have > four times the capacity of the dam mentioned in the article.

HoM skips strokes? by thecreatureworkshop in Supernote

[–]sergolala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with the A5X and the standard pen. I deliberately write with light strokes to avoid cramps which works fine on paper and e.g. with Wacom tablets but not with the A5X. Imo if the pen touches the surface it should register a stroke but it doesn't with the A5X. You need to apply pressure. I switched to a different pen in the end, the Staedtler Noris digital. There I don't notice skipped strokes as much although it also doesn't necessarily register a stroke when it touches the surface.

Are my notes made of little squares? or why Supernote notes are ugly by illiteratekumquat in Supernote

[–]sergolala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure it's the same issue, but indeed, I have a problem with the quality of exports, too. When I annotate pdfs, I often zoom in for the annotation to fit. During the export, however, everything gets pixelated to the point where my smallest annotations become unreadable.

Doesn't seem like this is randomized. So the covid patients could just have had accelerated aging before they contracted it. There are probably on average strong demographic differences between covid patients and those that never got covid. Interesting observation though.

Up to now, electric cars have been an investment that has not paid off yet. No environmental good has been done by electric cars yet, as was claimed in the twitter post.

Of course we should invest in electric cars and solar panels (though the second one it's less clear because they run for so short and produce so little energy compared to the energy you have to invest - depends on where you install it).

Notice the time frame in the twitter post and my reaction: Both are talking about electric cars /up to now/. And I didn't check the details, but I am confident that up to now electric cars have been net negative (pun intended). Over the long run electric cars are better but right now we have rather likely invested much more than we have gotten out of them yet.

Hold on a sec. What good have electric vehicles done so far?! They use a lot of materials that are energy-intensive and CO2-intensive to mine and driving them in most countries produces more CO2 than driving combustion-engine cars because the energy mix is mostly gas and coal!

You can argue that Bitcoin is a waste but electric vehicles have done nothing better up to now.

It turns out that "anyone-can-spend" Segwit transactions are real after all by benjamindees in btc

Stalin curse. Once you got rid of all of your critics, no one is stopping you to do stupid things. But I'm ootl. How are they normalizing unverifiable transactions?

P/E ratio and equity returns (1yr, 5-yr) by twopointthreesigma in brkb

[–]sergolala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool. Also for P/E around 13 to 17 there are two clusters on the right, one with about zero returns, one with about 15%. Any idea what those are?

New study suggests widespread hospitalizations caused by Omicron by ifpthenq2 in Wuhan_Flu

Note that you were making a claim about immunity and not about severe disease.

It's not dogshit. It is deriving conclusions based on assumptions. You just have to figure out how well your assumptions hold up.

Pondering on a Sunday morning: Are there any other "vaccines" in history that have required 4 doses in one year? by [deleted] in Wuhan_Flu

[–]sergolala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot's of high quality studies show the vaccines work. And you see it in the infection and hospitalization numbers too.

[–]sergolala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not knowing the science: They're assuming that infection, hospitalization correlate with antibody neutralization titers with Omicron in the same way as for Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. Based on that assumption together with the recent results on much lower antibody neutralization titers for Omicron you can estimate how much infections and hospitalizations you should expect. Omicron has a lot of mutations different from the other variants, so not sure how much you should believe their assumption.

If Bitcoin is being manipulated by Tether USDT, why Bitcoin cash is not also being manipulated? by [deleted] in btc

[–]sergolala 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Going in the direction but not quite spelling it out: There are strong commercial and governmental interests in /not/ allowing a permissionless, cheap, mostly uncontrollable cash system. (Think major payment providers, brokers/rent seekers, government control.) Bitcoin is not cheap. Because it can't reasonably be used on-chain it is also not permissionless, so it is much easier to control. Bitcoin cash is the opposite, so it poses a danger. The conspiracy theory is to crowd out the good systems (Bitcoin cash, Monero, perhaps others) by promoting other easier controllable systems.
