But that's not how it works. It's a spectrum.

For example, if the google results page is 1/4 ads and 3/4 genuine results, the score is 3/4.

This pages was fully covered in 3 layers of popups. So there were 3 screens of ads for 1 screen of content (well 3/4 of a screen, there was an ad at the top). So I had to figure out how to extend my computation to handle this case.

I think the score here is 0.75/4.25, or an 18% score.

That’s a new record!

And the way the events unfolded show that indeed, a tax would be unpopular with the public.

As the article eventually concedes, UBI is more of a safety net than a rejection of work. Work and UBI are not mutually exclusive.

I see this lie repeated in many places. Environmental protection is much, much cheaper than the alternative.

Happily. Gaussian splats are a technique for 3D images, related to point clouds. They do the same job (take a 3D capture of reality and generate pictures later from any point of view "close enough" to the original).

The key idea is that instead of a bunch of points, it stores a bunch of semi-transparent blobs - or "splats". The transparency increases quickly with distance, following a normal distribution- also known as the "Gaussian distribution."

Hence, "Gaussian splats".

Except some were a scam, and now the well is poisoned.
