Awesome research! I was just thinking the other day, about how a qwerty layout for T9 might have been easier and more efficient. Cool to see something even better. A little off-topic, but this 6-button keyboard format looks perfect for my dream device.

I take a lot of walks. I often listen to an audio book while I do so. I also frequently get texts, or hear something in the book I may want to write down.

I've always wanted to be able to handle these situations without taking out my phone, but rather clicking buttons in my pockets. For example, I get a text while listening to music. Click a button to hear it read out. Type out my response. Send it. Open notes, write a reminder to buy bread. One-handed, blindly, while on a walk outside. No voice recognition - no "OK Google" nonsense.

I've considered getting a Twiddler - but they're expensive, and I don't think I can easily configure it to do these things - particularly browsing and responding to messages - or opening up a new note, while listening to an audiobook.

Does anyone know some combination of software and hardware that can do some of this for me?

Why celebrate a female-majority?

In 10 years are we going to see posts about celebrating a male-majority after females have successfully pushed out males?

How about celebrating diversity?
Marriage is a mutual help commitment. A world with strong mutual help commitments is better than a world where people abandon each other at the first difficulty. So I try to make that world a reality through my actions. It's partly prosocial, partly for my wife and kids' sake, and partly for my own.

I disagree strongly with this. I think authoritarianism is a goal for a lot of people. It wouldn’t be such a consistent threat if it wasn’t something regularly sought after. Some people crave power, others crave a strong man to protect them and guide their lives.
That sounds awful. Wish you the best of luck with it pal.
I guess I would boil scientific awareness to two parts.

I. How science works so well. I.e. the body of methods for vetting ideas, scientists brutal incentives to be honest and competent, natures inherent consistency as the final unassailable arbiter of truth, etc.

II. Then how to judge the products of science:

None of us can understand a tiny fraction of science directly, we must all learn to judge what science we can trust.

From General Relativity to the game theory behind self-organizing ants, I think people need to recognize that although with effort they could understand individual effects, everyone has to trust other experts for most of their scientific knowledge.

The best indicators of solid science, after personal understanding, are ideas that are widely accepted by many experts in the field, especially experts working across multiple overlapping fields.

(Climate science is a fantastic example of the latter: Experts including chemists, atmospheric physicists, geologists, biologists, ecologists, solar physicists, .... almost every kind of science.)

And another strong indicator of both stable and promising science is that it provides a workable foundation for further scientific and even technological advances.

And finally, when non-scientist experts, whose career success objectively depends on recognizing good science (i.e. the military, insurance companies, ...) treat particular areas of science as credible, we can assume it is safe for us to as well.
The Trouble with “Main Character Syndrome”
Sorry about the certificate... I hadn't noticed it had expired. That is fixed now and you can visit https://try.gambitscheme.org/ to try it out (don't type anything in the REPL and you will get an automatic demo).

The last part of the demo shows how to use threads in the browser and also the JavaScript FFI. The FFI based on an infix syntax is explained in greater detail in this ELS'21 paper: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~feeley/papers/BelangerFeeleyELS... . The paper contains several examples. Here's a simple one you can type at the REPL:

(define message "<h1 id=\"title\">hello!</h1>")

\document.body.insertAdjacentHTML("afterbegin", `message)

\document.getElementById("title").innerText=`(object->string (expt 2 100))

Basically a backslash switches to JavaScript (with infix syntax) and a backquote switches back to Scheme (with prefix syntax).

The whole Gambit system fits in a 640KB gzipped JavaScript file, so it is reasonably fast to load.

If you are interested in a really tiny Scheme implementation in JavaScript that supports tail-calls and call/cc and an incremental Scheme compiler and a REPL and most of the R4RS procedures, you might want to try out the Ribbit Scheme implementation which is just under 6 KB of (non-gzipped) JavaScript: https://udem-dlteam.github.io/ribbit/repl-max.html . That implementation is described in a paper at the VMIL'21 workshop (presentation on October 19).
This is a surprising comment! I have a lifetime plex pass from probably 8 years ago. They had a bad release a few years ago that broke some stuff. Made a post. They asked for logs and I uploaded them and they pushed a new build with a fix the next day. Only time I’ve interacted with them and it was super pleasant. My main consumers and my friends with young kids with kid shows and plex runs everywhere and even small kids can work the interface. I really enjoy it!
Stroop Effect is pretty much this exact fallacy you mentioned. This inadvertently increases cognitive load on the drivers around leading to mistakes.
The transition to the Chez Scheme back end is almost bug compatible [1], so if it worked in the old version, it should work in the new one.

One advantage or migrating it to the Chez Scheme version is that some tricky functions (like print or display that have like a million of corner cases) are implemented in Racket or in Chez Scheme, so it's not necessary to write them again in JavaScript.

[1] For example in the old version, only the small chars were interned and in the new version all are interned, so code like (eq? #\λ (integer->char (char->integer #\λ))) may have a different result. It's true in the new version, but in the old version it may be false if the optimizer is not aggressive enough with the constant folding.
I'm not sure if I agree with the OP that it's publicly stated but the bipartisan hysteria towards China, Russia, or even one or two generations ago Japan (interesting historical piece[1]) is kind of constant. With very few exceptions American politics, however divided internally is generally unified in some McCarthy style campaign against this or that perceived foreign threat.

The prospect of the US having to live in a world shaped by forces it has no control over is melting brains across the board. Americans, and yes this is a generalization but not a wrong one, cannot imagine a world that is run on values utterly foreign to them.

There's a weird fixation on productivity that gets drilled into our heads at a young age. It's beyond okay to not be running 100% all the time, regardless of what the paradigm espouses as value.
I think I agree with Chomsky that humans can create a much less hierarchical society. Most of what he advocates for (reducing American imperialism) is a pragmatic step towards giving people in the countries of the world more direct control over their lives. Would you say this is not possible? I don't think there's going to be a global revolution, but I do think we should strive to question hierarchy and increase human freedom wherever possible. I don't think we'll ever have a perfect society, but I do think we can create a much better society. Just look at all the progress made in the last decades.

Work with Chrome, for one.
I generally enjoy reading Chris' writing and listening to him on podcast interviews, but I do feel like he tries really hard to pattern match and force crypto to fit into his idealized future based on his clearly well-read and well-informed view of technological history. He's also probably made at least a hundred million dollars in the past couple of years based on his Coinbase investment and myriad crypto token investments, so he's most likely viewing all of this through rose colored glasses.
Excuse the low effort comment..

"... whom I thought they would take security very serious."

I have always wondered why "tech" companies constantly make statements on their websites such as "We take security very seriously". (Same for privacy.) There is really nothing to back them up. Its just words, no evidence. Of course the companies are all copying each others statements, but perhaps there is some science behind these words, perhaps these statements really do work. Readers actually believe them.

Its like they can make "promises" without ever actually having to deliver anything, and people actually believe they are getting some sort of "deliverable". Occasionally theres a brief "wake-up" call and then their users go back the illusion.

Being "shocked" it seems is short-lived. No doubt the "tech" companies have figured this out. I can remember when people were "shocked" about all the vulnerabilities in Windows. Those days are gone. Now there is no "shock" at all. Its expected.

Reminds me of the reports of internal communications at Facebook that showed how Sandberg and colleagues were seeking to "normalise" data breaches.
> A few months later I was back in the same office, being made redundant. I can’t be sure the two events were linked, but if you have to let someone go, the person who wrote about how boring her job was might not be the worst choice. “Why are you still here if you hate it?” the HR manager had hissed at me one day in passing. It was a fair question, and unhappy as I was, my redundancy felt like a fair cop.

> I didn’t try to find another legal job: my indiscretion had made me unemployable in the sector. That was terrifying, but also galvanising: I needed to find another way of earning my living, fast. Blogging had showed me that living could, just possibly, be writing: 12 years later, it turns out it is.
I've never understood engineers who decide to go manage. Why would you give up actually doing real work? Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
I don't find it surprising some designer thought it was cool. And too everybody, calling this "idiotic" (the journalist included — well, especially him): I'm sure you are making decisions as idiotic as this in your professional work once in a while, and even manage to think that they were good. It's normal.

I am surprised, though, if this car passed certification. If there's no rule that makes it possible to forbid driving this, there should be. There shouldn't be much room left for guesswork to decide if it's dangerous or not, tired people behind the wheel do all kinds of stupid shit, you shouldn't push them further.
Don't say that. He'll now start looking for a way for crypto to cut margins on rose coloured glasses.
As soon as it was released, there was actually pretty good support for it. It was shortly after - when people started realising it didn't actually work as advertised, that it lost all credibility as the government insisted that it did. But you're right, from there it didn't recover.

Most of the bugs affecting how it worked (especially on iPhone) , security and privacy were found by the community, including critical bugs that stopped the app working entirely that weren't fixed until August. All while the government kept saying there was nothing wrong with it.

So it's hard to argue that the bashing wasn't warranted. The app really did not work.

I really want our government to do technology better. Vaccine passports are already off to a poor start - but I really hope that the community has enough influence that we can start to make a difference.

Because the certainty around the natural immunity is probably as questionable as the level of immunity from vaccination. Both are subject to epidemiological confirmation.

The potential harm of a re-infection or of infecting others is higher than the personal risk of being vaccinated.
You’re really grasping at straws with the Audi thing. First it was something that has never been said, and now a word for “four” is confusing for naming a four wheel drive system.

Full Self Driving would be acceptable and accurate for level 5.

Now for level 2 advanced driver assistance.

“The driver is only in the seat for legal reasons. The car is driving itself” is a current Tesla statement. That’s inaccurate.

“The car is driving itself until it can’t, or it does something it shouldn’t. But you’re in charge, and we legally disclaim any responsibility for failures of the car to drive itself” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, I admit.
Jellyfin is an OSS fork of Emby, which went proprietary and stopped distributing source code.
I am absolutely terrified of clicking the “apply” button for a pre-offered internal transfer at my current company. I’m miserable, more miserable than I ever thought I could be, but if I step back I quickly realize that I have the job I always wanted and one that other people would kill for and have it on lock down to the point that I could put in 10 hours a week and still be heralded as a great leader.

I just don’t care about anything I work on or anyone I work with after a major release a couple months ago that bookmarked nearly everything I wanted to accomplish in this role.

I seriously doubt this will make me happy — more hours, less prestige, new unknowns, sunk accomplishments - but I am well past my “fuck it” point like so many others I talk to.

> At first I tried to stay in denial, flooding myself with positive affirmations in an attempt to manifest mental calmness.

> “No way I’m burned out. Look at all the women that are actually suffering. Who am I but a privileged white chic taking up space.”

That's self abuse, mentally tearing yourself down, that is not positive affirmation. Trying to take an objective stock of your context is reasonable, however comparing yourself to those less fortunate is not a positive affirmation.
It is a shame that the article doesn't make a connection between blurring (and sharpening), and operations in the Fourier domain.

The article paints on the Fourier image and sees the effect on the original image. Well, blurring an image is equivalent to painting a centered black ring.

Excel just has a different domain: “people who want to write their own programs to solve … problems” or something like that.
A world in which one can't even expose the fact that your boring job is boring without fear of losing your livelihood is a world not worth building and the right of management to run their company like their own tiny kingdom is not worth protecting especially if 99% of the people voting on the ground rules are the peons.
> (2) super easy to make and deploy a change. This one consists of a README that word-for-word works so you don't have to think. Minimizing steps with push-to-github auto-deploy is great

Great advice. Minimise the energy barrier to being able to ship a patch or a new feature after neglecting the service for months/years and forgetting how you set everything up.

I always have a bit of a laugh after patching my hobby project and doing a handful of iterative automated deploys while making small changes, then switching back to the day job where aspiring to do a single deploy will typically require hours of meetings and general bureaucratic overhead.

Another possible tip is: understand your deployment environment and learn how to take advantage of what it offers out of the box without adding additional layers or dependencies. E.g. I deploy a hobby webapp to my own debian server. Debian comes with apt for package management and systemd for managing services, so I use both of those (yes, even apt for python package dependencies).
That's what my doctor told me. I'm sure there are differing opinions but meh whatever, I know it could be higher so that's good enough.
It's very hard to disentangle how much of this is pressure from your workplace vs. your internalized sense of obligation about work intensity.

Parenthood does change a lot of things. But at the end of the day, tech isn't slinging drinks at a bar, or fixing cars, or even like other intense white collar jobs where the stock market closing bell or potential sales target companies office hours put hard time limits on things and let you better compartmentalize your life. It's got elements of research science, art, and construction - ideas percolate over time, experiments need to be run, and structures fail or become unsuitable and need reworking. I used to think with the right methodologies these could all be controlled and that only "dysfunctional" companies didn't do so, but lately I'm concluding that the "busyness" of a software eng. or adjacent jobs in tech just comes with the territory. Yes, some companies are distinctly good or bad at managing the worst of it, but looking at the bigger picture, getting upper middle class salaries in a hot market for talent, to sit in a temperature controlled clean environment and use your brain to solve problems is not a bad trade off for being expected to do amazing things routinely. I think we have a pretty good tradeoff.
I'm also using this. Odd quirks, such as the device appearing twice as a fling/cast target, and apparent random net events which make the web client on OSX pop over the "do you want to continue here" pane. (I posted to the plex forums about this btw)

the shim works fine. And, there appears to be a jellyfin shim in the same model.

it's the opposite way round. png is especially good at compressing dithered images.

It's a reduced color palette, (in this case just black and white) so there's lots of repeated sequences. Which works very well with lossless compression.

Why does every company now want to be a platform?
With all due respect, saying you're 54 isn't enough context. The past 18 months have been a lot. For everybody, in and out of tech. Knowing you've been in tech longer than most helps sell... what? that you're more deserving of being tired that the rest of us? (Not rowdy invalid, there is an official retirement age after all...) But shit, the new iPhone came out and all I could hear was how much I don't want to wait in line nor be made fun of for my phone having a button and being an olds. I'm really afraid this is a permanent state but I don't have as many years to fall back on. I have enough savings not to starve but the pandemic changed things and those savings aren't going to last forever! (Rapidly dwindling, some might say.) Hope yours lasts longer than mine!

I've setup jellyfin on my media server but I barely use it because the web player bugs make it unusable for me. I think most issues are due to the fact my hardware is underpowered for the task, and the player gets confused when the server replies come slow and not in the same order as they were requested. In practice subtitles go out of sync regularly, I get "codec not supported by browser" messages with the actual video playing fine behind it when seeking and frequently enough to make watching videos too annoying to bother.

There are also other annoyances like the player forgetting my subtitle selection when jumping to the next video of the same season of a show.

There's also no quality setting that is just "stream the source file directly". It seems to always want to transcode when embedding subtitles, which I guess is done by ffmpeg on the server but is really the player's job.

I know they're working on a new player, though it's not included in jellyfin yet.

>At the end of the day it just needs to be better than the average human

This comes up a lot on techno-centric forums like HN but I think it misses an important point. It’s not necessarily if it performs better than the average human that will lead to policy that allows it on roads. It has to have a high degree of trust in the public’s eye. That bar is likely much higher than “just better than the average human.”
