Did you consider trying the iPhone accelerometer? Perhaps lay the phone face down on the table and then lay the watch on the back? Wondering if this would have higher or lower SNR.
I don't think it would work because the accelerometer updates are at too low a frequency. Apple's developer info says:
```
Before you start the delivery of accelerometer updates, specify an update frequency by assigning a value to the accelerometerUpdateInterval property. The maximum frequency at which you can request updates is hardware-dependent but is usually at least 100 Hz.
```
100Hz is way too slow. Presumably some devices go higher but according to the article the peak signal is in the 3kHz to 15kHz range.
Not to mention, those same carbon emission regulations/targets they are lobbying/fighting against did not come about in a vacuum. The regulations were intentionally cranked up to "unachievable" levels for ICE vehicles from groups pushing other technologies.
I convinced my parents to get me a 2017 MBP for college, yes it was overkill for the day-to-day classes, but I ended up getting into iOS app development and was so fortunate to have a beefier-system. However, for a liberal-arts student the MBN appears to be a sweet spot.
Part of the issue is that somehow you can buy just the "assets" half of a company and ignore the "liabilities" portion. And the assets include all the branding and brand name. So an essentially new copy of the previous company is made while fleecing all on the liabilities side.
For the bars that are being closed, they are less closed and more like abandoned remnants of the now-dead previous company. Perhaps the shareholders should just reclaim the abandoned items of value physically.

You really can't and they didn't.
If Brewdog has creditors who lent it money or suppliers who are waiting on payment, then they will be getting paid as part of the deal or they will have agreed to a restructuring, up as far as being offered first refusal on the company's assets.
Brewdog's existing management could have made the exact same closures without selling the company.
If retail investors lost out here, it's because they were overly optimistic in the first place, or just unlucky, not because they're getting cheated in this deal. You can tell this because the institutional investors are also getting nothing out of it.
That first image, “Structure Prompts with XML”, just screams AI-written. The bullet lists don’t line up, the numbering starts at (2), random bolding. Why would anyone trust hallucinated documentation for prompting? At least with AI-generated software documentation, the context is the code itself, being regurgitated into bulleted english. But for instructions on using the LLM itself, it seems pretty lazy to not hand-type the preferred usage and human-learned tips.
I'm sorry for not elaborating. My original complaint is with Anthropic! The 7-figure Anthropic engineers couldn't be bothered to write down how to use their tool. And there is no way for the tool to already have latent knowledge about how to use itself since that wouldn't have been part of the internet/books/github training material.
I'm sorry for not elaborating. My original complaint is with Anthropic! The article is about how Anthropic's published "tips" are incorrect, but I am saying of course it's flawed because there is no way for the AI to already have latent knowledge about how to use itself since that wouldn't have been part of the internet/books/github training material.
There must be an OpenClaw YouTube video helping people post to hacker news, or something, because the front page is overrun with AI slop like this article, that makes no sense anyway. The author literally has no idea what any of this stuff means.
Even better, start a new company with the previous coworkers who are all versed in the same industry as you just left! Block is profitable, so there’s a lunch to eat.
Elon's vision for the X "everything" app. It's great for them, now every single thing you do has the full gamut of privacy permissions. Playing a "mini-game"? Full accurate GPS coordinates available to it because you also have the ride-hailing "mini-app".
If you wrote a science fiction novel around the idea that we make computing devices by blasting fine drops of tin in a vacuum with a laser exactly 3 times at exactly 100,000 drops per second, nobody would believe it. Truth is crazier than fiction.
What's even crazier is the technological pursuit of EUV and what a moonshot it was. Chip wars by chris miller chronicles it and it is absolutely crazier than sci fi.
As a former student using Chomebooks in Highschool (9-12), a K-8 laptop is a major “ew”. Paper textbooks have tactile reality, room for exploring/reading out of order. Paper exams you can skip around the questions easily, and if the teachers are really that backed up to grade them, good ole’ scantrons are doable. An assigned laptop has 0 attachment from the students and just get neglected to pieces, and no one is “learning computer skills” by clicking around Canvas lectures.
They could have gone with non-networked ereaders. But they just had to go with the "smart" and "connected" angle so they could do grading, spying on kids,etc.. similar to the current "AI" approach. scope-creep. but even with ereaders, being able to switch to different books easily is an impediment, or having access to too many at one time. Physical books force a certain focus and attention.
Your point about tactility is solid too. flipping through pages is very different from swiping. With educational textbooks, you'd have to look at multiple pages at the same time (flipping back and forth quickly) to connect and understand a topic by referencing another topic. Same with being able to easily lay out multiple physical books in front of you.
