Also, there's things like the Mediterranean that is much saltier than the Atlantic, despite plenty of water flowing back and forth. There's sealife that's only found in the Med, like the Mediterranean monk seal.

What's the point then?

I found his paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ad7fe6 (no paywall 😃)

From the intro:

VARnet leverages a one-dimensional wavelet decomposition in order to minimize the impact of spurious data on the analysis, and a novel modification to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to quickly detect periodicity and extract features of the time series. VARnet integrates these analyses into a type prediction for the source by leveraging machine learning, primarily CNN.

They start with some good old fashioned signal processing, before feeding the result into a neutral net. The NN was trained on synthetic data.

FC = Fully Connected layer, so they're mixing FC with mostly convolutional layers in their NN. I haven't read the whole paper, I'm happy to be corrected.

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization [...], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.

The article goes out of its way to not do what you're accusing it of. I don't understand how you've managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.

So they're switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git... How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?

Maybe his analysis considered this, but the article doesn't mention real-world factors like the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and what feels like the resurgence of fascism and the spectre of World War 3. It's noted that liberal families seem more susceptible - perhaps it's because right-wing families are more likely to believe these things aren't real, or aren't a problem?

The egg start to decompose and produces gas. Some of that gas escapes through the shell, so the egg's mass decreases, which causes the density of the egg vs water to drop.

... with features like local-only (i.e. privacy-respecting) language translation. Good.

Occasionally I've needed this site and generally it's helpful, but I don't think anyone looking for an explanation would leave less confused after plowing through all that.

The Higgs boson isn't an atom like plutonium, it's "further down". I think of it in levels:

• atoms, which are made up of
• electrons “orbiting” the nucleus, the nucleus being made up of protons and neutrons. In turn, protons and neutrons are made up of
• quarks

Quarks are a kind of elementary particle called fermions, which are at the same level as bosons (and electrons). Down here it's all weird and quantum but in an oversimplified nutshell, it's not so much that they physically exist as that in the maths* we can treat them as existing which makes it easier to think about.

* of the physics models we use

I'm a computer scientist, not a real scientist, so I stand ready to be corrected by those more knowledgable.

edit: @SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world is more knowledgable and helped me fix this up a bit.
