RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Trippin' Through Time@lemmy.ca•Finally AI is useful for somethingEnglish1·2 个月前deleted by creator
I use it on my laptop because it doesn’t nuke my laptop’s battery like all other browsers. So it’s a bit of a shame.
Well I mean you still

RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Academia@mander.xyz•Bookshop.org launches Kindle alternative, sends e-book sales to local bookstores2·5 个月前Damn is that expensive though. But I think Amazon sells at a discount to make money on the bookstore.
RickyWars1@lemmy.caOPto Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Why it makes perfect sense for this bike to have two gears and two chains10·5 个月前Interesting low-cost measure to not use a front-derailleur
The S2 model aimed to give riders an uphill climbing gear but without introducing the complexities of a gear-shifting derailleur, tensioned cables, and handlebar shifters. Engineers at SRAM came up with a solution that’s hard to imagine for other bikes but not too hard to grasp. A freewheel in the back has two cogs, with a high gear for cruising and a low gear for climbing. If you pedal backward a half-rotation, the outer, higher gear engages or disengages, taking over the work from the lower gear. The cogs, chains, and chainrings on this bike are always moving, but only one gear is ever doing the work.
Probably not of much use but I thought it was cool
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?English8·5 个月前Well it doesn’t seem like there’s been another Reddit exodus, especially from looking at the user numbers for Lemmy. There hasn’t been a big screwup lately like with Meta or Twitter (but I think Bluesky is absorbing the Twitter refugees currently).
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Pope Francis warns that excessive scrolling causes 'brain rot'English2·5 个月前Of course, but it’s entirely unrelated to the body of the article.
When they write “college” in the image I think they mean university, not CEGEP. University is still a good ways from free, being $4k-$5k/yr. And that’s just for in province students, it’s more for non-Quebec but still Canadian students.
In Germany (and maybe the other listed countries but I’m less informed on them), university is free as well. I think it also doesn’t depend which state you’re from.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewalEnglish5·6 个月前Absolutely. This has made me acutely aware that my days with MS are numbered.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewalEnglish67·6 个月前For existing customers, the price hike won’t be kicking in until plan renewal, and there are options to downgrade the plan. Those who want to avoid using AI can downgrade the plan to the “Classic” or “Basic” Microsoft 365 plans.
Thankfully we can roll back to the “Classic Family Plan” without the AI features. But annoying that they automatically switched plans and I had to switch back. If I didn’t see this article I’d be up for a big price hike when it renewed.
I used the textbook as Oppenheim in my graduate DSP course, with the textbook by Proakis as a secondary reference. I don’t really love the Oppenheim book. I’m not super familiar with the Proakis DSP book as a result, but I think his textbooks on Communication Systems and Digital Communications are very well written. The Van Trees I find really well written and I really like (however the topic is also most interesting to me). All of them require you to study them though, I’m not sure what you mean by that.
Really depends what you are into. For general concepts, Discrete-Time Signal Processing by Oppenheim and Discrete Signal Prcessing by Proakis are standard textbooks.
If you’re interested in communication or radar systems, array signal processing is very closely linked with discrete signal processing but with more linear algebra and statistical concepts. Optimum Array Processing by Van Trees is a great textbook for this.

RickyWars1@lemmy.caOPto Montréal@lemmy.ca•Valérie Plante will not seek re-election as Montreal's mayor7·9 个月前Yeah I agree. I have this fear at all levels of politics as things continue to get more and more toxic.
RickyWars1@lemmy.caOPto Montréal@lemmy.ca•Valérie Plante will not seek re-election as Montreal's mayor14·9 个月前Sad to see, I feel like she did a lot of good such with walkability and cycling infrastructure. We can only hope someone similar comes along.
In September, Plante closed comments on her social media posts, saying her replies had been dominated by abusive language for months.
I wonder if this has something to do with her stepping down.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•1 in 5 Republicans want Trump to call election invalid if he loses0·9 个月前Those numbers are not additive.
If you assume that 50% of voters are Democrat and 50% are Republican, then you’d average them to get an idea of what percentage of Americans believe in that.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•1 in 5 Republicans want Trump to call election invalid if he loses0·9 个月前Huh? Per the quoted text in your post:
12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same if she loses.
Absolutely love language transfer. At least for Greek it was great, the founder Mihalis is a British Cypriot.
