GTW { for composition} >> SyncNotes + {editing and preview} >> AceMark {double check} and Noto {for filing} .

Then of course into writeFreely, to post on write.as, until I get vivejournal.com running writefreely, and then yeah..There’s my mastodon project too.. One day at a time..

---

• GTW is the only editor with a trackball (it’s really well executed), has an incredible file-manager, and does a lot of export options. It’s unique.

• SyncNotes+ has been dead simple and extremely responsive for years.

• AceMark has great themes and a lovely template engine (you can write your own css)..

• Noto is gorgeous and has great preview and is an up and coming polished offering without being overly complicated, but still does a lot.

---

Some additional notes:

---

• Editorial is outdated and nearly useless,

• 1Writer is pretty nice but misses a lot of marks.

• Type is pretty nice but still an up and commer.

• OneMarkDown and MWeb are basically the same app, a new engine in OneMarkDown and an old abandoned buggy as hell concept of a static site generator in MWeb.

• iAWriter is fantastic but feels very sloppy to use but is quite feature rich if not a bit behind..

Lastly,

• Drafts is WAY too complicated, but extremely powerful; Although the sliding bar and interface generally make me want to tear out my hair and become a monk.

hope this helps *someone better spend their money and less of their life getting pissed off at iApps.

:) #iOS #writing and #markdown editor #review

I omitted things like Bear, Ulysses, Wordsmith, Evernote, and Writemator – Because they are a different category entirely and my brain does not enjoy that type of application workflow...

In general they are “too pretty,” and “too symbolic,” ultimately too hard to be efficient with, which is ultimately extremely frustrating, and counter-productive.

Runner up: “Mettle.” It would be a half-way point, between symbolic and power user type interfaces and workflow, but it gets disqualified because I managed to crash it three times in under an hour. With semi-total data loss.

Four tenths of a cent. 😁🙏🏽🌶🔭

Good morning !

Just got my first micropayment from blogging.

LOL, this is interesting. I need an audience and such now.

Looking for in between stupid simple without features, and drafts pro which is a burgeoning powerful monster but too much faking work to use on the regular for anything other than an archival of “things that have been done and the crazy powerful scripting and automation.”

Here’s a sample .md created with “ace mark” :

Ta da , hehe! lol

This is ace mark

It seems a reasonably competent editor. It’s not great. But it could be. > Still it’s more intuitive than most.

Swipe down or up from the markdown row to dismiss would be Much-better than a gesture.

Here is a h3 heading

But it died because there is no setting to not launch safari while editing a link on shortish press.

We are done here. Good luck hehe!

Oh but it can be used to build themed templates PDFs or as a local website creator- so there is THAT strength in largess.

The themes are pretty as well but limited. I like the green one and the blue one. The solar used misses the contrasty mark.

Answer to Is machine learning currently overhyped? by John Singer https://www.quora.com/Is-machine-learning-currently-overhyped/answer/John-Singer-59?ch=99&share=6267af13&srid=uqeOIu

My three cents: This is about right imho for most outfits, unless there is an innovative leadership in the organization. Chime in if you have stories about this via – a submit.as link goes here-

the scoop :

John Singer · Updated December 22 Electrical Engineer, Data Scientist (AI,ML,Deep Learning)

Is machine learning currently overhyped?

I would definitely say so. In my last 3 jobs as both a data science manager and data scientist, I’ve tried to use machine learning but in each job it is the same story.

The company states in the job description they want somebody with ML knowledge and the know-how to apply ML to solve current problems.

Once you get hired, it is a completely different story.

You find out you were hired to do just data analysis in excel or R or Python because no ML currently exists.

You find out data is sparse and that the company actually doesn’t have the right features to do what it wants. Ultimately, real-world problems show a high degree of non-linearity and the easy canned ML solutions that you learned in college don’t really apply.

A typical real-world scenario is, you run a model and the model comes back with a 45% accuracy, which is not much better than a 25% random guess. At this point, flipping a coin would be better than machine learning.. lol

You find out you are a SQL junkie and you write SQL all day long to retrieve data. 90% of the hype is around getting the data right and building dashboards. lol

You find out you have a manager who is apprehensive about ML because he feels it is a black box and he doesn’t know what is going on inside it. So he is not about to let ML take over even as an experiment because he feels ML is unpredictable and that the business may lose money. So your dreams of putting ML models into production are a pipe dream far in the distant future.

You find out IT is not cooperative and that they see you as the hotshot new kid in town with skills that nobody understands.

They are afraid that if they let you take over it will diminish their power. Some simply don’t understand and they feel you might take over their jobs.

For example, ML has largely moved to the cloud now but in order to access those cloud resources and serverless architecture to implement ML in production, you need full rights.

IT will simply deny those rights to you because of the aforementioned reasons. The manager doesn’t want to upset the current working conditions, so he won’t know what to do because the bottom line is to keep the current business running and the priority is not to have you try fancy ML techniques that are unproven which may or may not bring a profit.

Ultimately, you are lured into the job with aspirations of putting big ML models into production and doing cutting edge algorithm research only to find out that the company is not ML ready and that they only hired you so they can say to their clients, “Yes, we have a machine learning guru onboard”.

I have spent a few days looking into this and need to know more still, so I am seeking perhaps if anyone has direct experience here, and or feels like sharing and or both :)

Counter point : This new stuff isn't going anywhere, and money has been serialized and scanned more or less since the fed started putting serials on the bills, it's not going away, so you may as well look into it as well.

Another point of note: cash has never been a guarantee for service, either- remember those signs on doors- 'we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone?”

Haha.

Welcome to the new epoch.

I'd be curious if any of you already use this stuff, as well as the java script pointer for uphold that integrates with you-tube, and other such things.

if this is you or there are tangible use case experiences you can share, that may help me get started, please fill out the form below

its a name/email/type your piece, and hit submit. It goes to my email, and nowhere else. Thanks !
