    METHOD

    I've been learning about natural language processing over the last couple of months, and thought this would be fun project.

    I trained a convolutional neural network on sentiment analysis using Amazon reviews from the "Cell Phones and Accessories" category. The mean score of these reviews was ~4.2, so I chose to mark scores >= 4 as positive and < 4 as negative. I then trained the neural network on these reviews, until it could consistently predict what a good (4 or 5 star) or a bad (1, 2 or 3 star) review looked like, just given the review's text.

    The trained model will produce a value near to 1 given the text of a positive review and 0 given a negative review. Once it was trained on the Amazon reviews, I applied it to reddit comments.

    To reduce the number of comments that I would need to test on, I only downloaded comments which contained one or more of the manufacturer's names. This has the downside of eliminating comments that didn't explicitly mention a brand even if it was obviously referenced ("Samsung Galaxy S8" vs "Galaxy S8"). This also is a problem if a comment contains more than one name eg

    I hate how iOS is so restricted. I wish Apple would allow us to set default apps, like Google.

    In this case, the low sentiment score would be added to both Apple and Google's results, even though Google wasn't the target of the comment's negativity.

    Each plotted point is the week's average. I don't think the results are accurate given how noisy the raw data was and the varying amounts of data for each OEM, but overall trends are consistent with my own predictions.

    It's often suggested that Apple is liked more than any other manufacturer on /r/Android, and that does seem to be the case -- the iPhone 11 launch is the greatest maximum point on the graph, though I was expecting more of a drop with the iPhone 7. Samsung's stagnating line was a surprise and may be due to the high prices of recent flagships. Somewhat predictably, the sub's perception of Google is the only one heading consistently downhill given the poor reaction to the Pixel line and other Google products.

    I also collected data for Huawei, HTC and Xiaomi but didn't include them in the main results as the number of comments for each seemed too small for a fair comparison. Here is the graph with them included.

    Again, these findings shouldn't be taken seriously as I'm not using a state-of-the-art model and the comment selection process was as basic as it could get, but hopefully it was interesting for some of you.

    EDIT: Added colourblind graph; attempted to improve explanation of method; increased line thickness

    Dont buy Meizu if you are a heavy gamer who are fond of playing offline games

    Posted: 31 May 2020 05:43 PM PDT

    Chinese here,sorry for my English.

    Just bought 16T(snapdragon855) from an online shop,I can safely say flyme(7 and 8) is one of worst OEM OS at gaming,flyme has a "Game Mode" feature cant recognize most of offline games,even if you root your device and use a kernel adjuster app to set your cpu&gpu to max,it still run small games terribly,it is only optimized for several popular online FPS games like PUGB(i dont play online games sorry if i spell it wrong),for anyone has Meizu with flyme(7 or 8),try Crimsonland by 10tons(or any other shooters from 10tons like Neon Chrome and Time Recoil) you will know what i mean.

    But fortunately the bootloader of Meizu 16T can be unlocked and there was someone made a mokee rom for it,games run smoothly after i flashed mokee,but fingerprint and bluetooth has some small bugs.

    What features do you want Google to add to RCS?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 09:39 PM PDT

    Given recent news about Google Messages adding reactions and possible end-to-end encryption, what features do you want to see get released?

    I would personally love video calls and HTML webapp integration (where everyone sees the same webpage inside the chat and each person has a unique identifier, enabling stuff like multiplayer games and shared documents). What would you like to see?
