I'm the developer of an Android calculator, called Algeo [1] and I wonder which part of it that makes it feel like slow/not snappy? I'm trying to constantly improve it, though UX is a hard problem. [1] - https://pl

Because it only increases high single digit each release. If they keep up the 10% improvement for the next 10 release, we will reach a speedup of around 2.5 times. That's very small, considering how Python is like 10-20 times slower th

This rings so true with me. I have a side project [1] that I try to promote and it always feels hard. Where do I start? Should I post comments in random subreddits? Should I write blog posts that may nobody read in the end? Start doing ads?

Congrats! It's about the same I make with Android with my app (a graphing calculator) [1]. Everyone says on Android you can earn less, I'm curious what's your experience will be. [1] https://androidcalculator.com&#

I don't really get the first part of your comment. You say an NN is "just" compression + kNN and does no representational learning. But finding a compression (a transformation in other words) that makes kNN feasible on the d

Actually, MobileNetV3 is a supporting example of the bitter lesson and not the other way round. The point of Sutton's essay is that it isn't worth adding inductive biases (specific loss functions, handcrafted features, special arc

Back of a napkin calculation: showing OP 100 ads of blinds probably costs 0.1$ in the US. The cost of a blind is 100$ (I have no idea, don't live in the US). So if the probability of buying a second blind is at least 0.1% it was worth

As others said, the active number of downloads is way lower (50k). Even then, I'm pretty bad at marketing and have no idea how to grow it or optimize the monetization. It seems from 10 ideas 9 doesn't work and even the 10th brings

I remember my school ran a contest where you had to find obscure information on the net. Things like when the inventor of the saxophone was born? You had to submit an URL so using the library was not an option. It was insanely hard, nowaday
