Actually, there is an RCS API.

However, Google restricts its use to themselves and specific OEMS only. IIUC, that's currently only Samsung[0].

I really thought BitTorrent would be the _de facto_ solution for data archiving at a planetary level. I thought dusty old computers would sync and store volumes of data across generations. Recorded history would be safe; it could even be checksummed for its integrity if needed.

Unfortunately, we are still relying on a couple of companies as the main custodians of our recorded history. This can't be good and we'll keep receiving sad news about content vanishing from the Internet from one day to the other.
A better way to picture atoms
Covid sometimes infects heart tissue and that infection can linger long after you’re asymptomatic. It is not at all surprising that a vaccination after such an infection can cause cardiac symptoms as your immune system is tuned up and starts attacking the infection in your heart. This is A) rather uncommon and B) hard to verify scientifically. Not to mention that this not happening is a morality issue for a lot of folks because vaccine good, suggestions of side effects bad.
Interlingua isn't an improvement over esperanto, Interlingua is what esperanto tried to be and actually succeeds in it. Esperanto tried to be auxiliary and fails at it. instead of becoming an international language it becomes another language to learn. while interlingua is a language you already know but have never learned. you just have to learn to speak.
Wouldn't information density be a bad thing for such uses? If one part of the rune is damaged, you lose a ton of information. Contrast with e.g. Latin, Greek, Sumerian, etc. in which inscriptions are heavily damaged, but the meaning is still deducible.

Consider this fragmented sentence:

T___reside_t_of__he_Unit___tates__s_Joe_B__en

A sufficiently determined future archaeologist will be able to figure out what it originally said with some degree of accuracy. The lack of density is essentially functioning as parity bits.
My guess would be that "a recording" in this case is actually an internal URI pointing to the show plus a start and stop timestamp. If YouTube wanted to not destroy those "recordings" they'd have to find somewhere else to store all the data.

Is there a way to download the recordings?
To be clear, I don't think companies should be focused on average users. At least not for a while (until there is sufficient education and agreement that this is a problem, if that ever happens). The market is all about early adopters for the foreseeable future.
I am sure you’re right. But you could just send the funds to a new address in the new wallet. He could have done that at any point in the last 5+ years.
The actual name of the test I had is Videonystagmography.

It identified not just the issue but the actual specific structure that was giving me issues.

This has no impact on hearing, so wouldn't be caught by those tests.
It's funny but I definitely wouldn't have put YT on that list. Even after attempting to "train" it by removing from the feed stuff I'm not interested in, it's still very random and comically irrelevant at times.
The problem is that for many other people, this one feature is the only reason to even have Signal - they won't bother with it if it can't be used to message random people already on their contact list.

And then once those people drop it, you have to do so as well if you want to keep talking to them.

Well, yes, of course. That is specifically how many systems are run in the USA. Healthcare, Education, Prisons, Infrastructure, military, government contracts.

They're designed to suck money and resources away from the good of society to line the pockets of a few. They do a very good job of it.

Yes, that is what "factoring a composite number" means, and that's what I said in the last sentence.
From what I can see the language is in constant development. there is a telegram group called ckule. but its a damn tough language to get through.
It's also worth noting that the average life expectancy has increased by roughly 20 years since G.H. Hardy first published that claim, so it would extra worrisome if we didn't have any counterexamples.

I'd go with English or Chinese.

> If your goal is to hang out with other language geeks, the latter one sounds preferable, but at that point, you may as well be learning Quenya or Klingon.

Esperanto is popular enough that I'll randomly run into Esperantists on a street corner in my city, and I'll get newsletters about local Esperanto events. (And yes, there's a lot of retired people who are into Esperanto because it used to be more popular.) That is literally not happening for Quenya, Klingon, Lojban, Ido, or Interlingua. It may be happening for Toki Pona, but then again, tomo tawa supa mi pi lon sewi li jo e kala linja mute mute.
Similar thing happened to me, but I think a lot of the souring happened due to the weird debacle with Musk calling the diver that saved those stranded kids a pedophile. Still, I don't know how that turned Musk into another culture war badge. Is he an out-of-touch, insensitive, crappy rich person? Seems like it, one of tens of thousands. But his culture war badge status is a bit weird.

Seems like this would only be true if you’re above the Tropic of Cancer and then comparing to below the Tropic of Capricorn. Between those zones the left/rightness of travel would change dependent on the season.
I’m not so sure. The same argument would apply to theoretical physics in 1960. Circa 2023, there are remarkably few shallow parts of physics.

Math as a whole may last longer, but this list reminds us how far we’ve come in a mere few millennia: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/SaI50Q1d/166786520...

On the timescale of civilization, it seems less and less likely that lone mathematicians can revolutionize the field.

We’re fortunate to have been born so early, relatively speaking.

That is probably an AirPort Express: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort_Express
Viruses can persist in tissues after infection even if they aren't circulating throughout the body. One weird example of this is when Ebola was going around. Some patients who survived it had antibodies that fought the infection to the point where it was undetectable, but the virus had retreated to the patients' eyes[1], where it continued to replicate in cells and cause eye disease[2].

Same thing can happen with EBV, where it is responsible for some flare up of symptoms post-infection, and chicken pox becoming symptomatic years after infection as shingles.

I wouldn't be surprised if long COVID symptoms are caused by latent COVID infections.

Not the OP, but I have to re-sync (and thus lose my existing chat history) on various machines often enough that I know exactly what OP is talking about, and these are on machines that I use at least once a month, so they don't go that long without checking in. It's annoying.
The confidence interval is a so-called random variable, which means, given it’s not significant, you actually can’t really interpret it

Descriptively, there is a trend, yes.

But it can not be interpreted in statistical (inferential) terms, I think.
I haven't looked at their list of papers but if they have evidence that blue light affects sleep, why would reducing the blue light coming off your phone/monitor NOT affect sleep? I don't really see why the source of the light would be important to the results.
1) I’m not trying to convince you. That is a fool’s errand in my online experience. I’m far more likely to come across adamant people than I am to come across sensible ones, so there’s no point trying to convince anyone.

2) if you think the end of money isn’t an apocalypse, then I don’t know what to tell you. Like sure, we may have done a debt jubilee, picked up the pieces and marched on, but chances were more that things would collapse utterly.

Yes, the world cannot exist without modern finance just as it cannot exist without civil engineering or farming. It can technically run without computers although it’ll be a shell of a shell of what we have today. But money is beyond all meaning of the word “essential”. It is a mark of civilization. All civilizations that moved beyond barter came to the same way of thinking - representative tokens i.e. money.

Don’t buy into modern leftist propaganda. Wall Street is corrupt but that doesn’t mean capitalism is bad and money shouldn’t exist.

3) 2008 was much, MUCH more existential than “a few banks failed” and you have not read enough if your takeaway from your reading was “the govt was wrong to bail them out”. The govt was right to bail out the institution. The corruption that pervades Wall Street is removed by a layer at which the govt failed and allowed failed CEOs and political operators to make overnight fortunes by announcing taxpayer funded support.

The alternative of not bailing them out was the total collapse of the US financial system - the biggest, most elaborate and deeply connected system on the face of the planet facilitating your every requirement from clean drinking water to toilet paper to the smartphone or whatever you’re reading this on. If it’d collapsed, no amount of scenario building could come close to the destruction that would’ve been wrought upon the planet.

You think this is hyperbole. It is not. Even people outside the US agree on that assessment. Your reading has been very selective and surface level because it is not your daily job. You likely read propagandists and other types of pundits who are not experts in the field.

The only times my experience changes for the better is when I take action.

Reddit pushing mobile app? Here I am, commenting on this reliable and ad-free website with an incredible signal to noise ratio.
With laptops it’s best to go with a System76 or a Framework or something else with manufacturer-tested drivers and optimizations, rather than installing on a non-Linux machine. There’s just too much work put into modern power efficiency for a one-size-fits-all OS to match. The most recent run in I had with this was an HP OLED laptop I bought, put Linux on, and found out that the kernel had no ability to adjust brightness on the OLED so it was at maximum all the time. I had to return it.
The thing that stands out to me most is that Rust still doesn’t seem to have settled on a single way to do async… It’s becoming a trope at this point.
Do js generators resume from a yield point? Reading this thread I see no mentions of the fact that generators usually(?) resume from whatever branching-looping state they were at yield, which is hard to simulate in general. A simple for(i){yield} - yes, just store an index somewhere and simulate to “resume” at it in your stream-like closure. A complex stateful algorithm with lots of cached lexical context - well, manageable with a corresponding data structure, but more expensive in terms of mapping it to a state table.

The whole point of a generator is its stack frame and its “instruction pointer”. You can implement a state machine right in regular code via cheap primitives. Otherwise the difference is just syntactical, afaiu.
Rust with no_std (and without the Alloc crate) won't do any hidden heap allocations. There's no allocator at all in such an environment! There is still a stack, and there are still static allocations. And of course you can still allocate statically in your linker script.

Ownership still matters, because nothing about ownership cares about heap allocation vs stack allocation.
I saw that. Not exactly a great reason.
The article is well-written and makes some good arguments about things that could be better, but like all languages (including conlangs), they're never going to be perfect and they're always going to have biases and rough bits.

I started studying Esperanto 4 years ago and it has become a fluent second language for me at this point. I now almost have more friends who speak the language than don't. While the language could be improved (by fixing word order and dropping the accusative, among other things mentioned here), it's still clear to me that Esperanto is a very easy language to learn. My comparative experience with Spanish has been much harder going.

Thanks to Esperanto I've spent time living abroad with Esperanto-speaking friends from different countries, travelled to local and international hangouts, and met some of the most open-minded and lovely people.

Outside of the hobbyist and academic contexts, there are a surprising number of people who actively use Esperanto (as well as create things: books, music, poetry, apps) and a cool international community to explore.

Just wanted to add a positive take.

P.S. There are a few articles on my blog about my own personal experience with the language and some projects I've worked on, in case anyone's curious: https://martinrue.com/articles
If India follows the west then it won't be possible for 2 people with education to lift a family out of poverty to middle class. In my country you basically require 2 full-time wages to be able to support a 3 person family. You wouldn't be able to buy an apartment and car for your family.

I think that is the point they were making.

Lojban's selling point is that it's easy to computationally parse, but not necessarily that easy to learn to speak.

I'd want to try to learn it again eventually, but I failed miserably the first time.

As an academic curiosity I think it's doing great.
it could very well have a pipeline of autonomous processing centers, where the second part needs to have them in order.

It might, but it might not. I guess the point is that re-integration is not _necessarily_ required. The thought trap is the idea that things _have_ to be re-integrated for 'consciousness to see them'.
That might have been the successor, then. You'll forgive my memory at this range.

If you systematically use it at large scale and make enough money to be worth prosecuting yes. People have been arrested for writing code to play 100000 FIFA games a day in order to get in game coins to sell (https://www.theregister.com/2016/11/14/ea_hackers_charged_fo...). The wire fraud statute is incredibly vague and can be used to justify almost any prosecution. Some others: using fake names on accounts used for botting Ticketmaster is wire fraud, a wire transfer made as part of a commercial bribery scheme is wire fraud even though commercial bribery is legal federally.
This solutionism is kind of a little a lot problematic. Expecting a single pat answer that utterly projects & reduces all possible wins into a single minded "this is how it will work" confines imagination & potential (just by the pointed ask alone), reduces a complex place we can keep exploring & winning & growing, into an overbearing consumerist expectation that all answers are known, all is worked out, and that there is some total answer thats gonna drop in our laps.

Synthetic feeds of recommendations is an open topic. How much data one is willing to send upstream, as inputs to one's recommender engine, is as much of a topic as how such things would work, what kind of activitypub feeds the engine would emit.

Right now there's nearly nothing & (while I dont agree) a vast amount of the userbase considers this lack to be a feature: a distinguishing characteristic that makes this network human and not aggressively eye-ball stealing machine & greedy. Human connection & old fashioned following people you run into is a win for organic matter & innate connection over pre-programmed ways to insure more eyeball-time.

That philosophy battle aside: there's infinite possibilities here. The way the question is phrased expects there is a singular clear way. You probably should not sign up for a fediverse instance! You dont seem like a fit.
A language should be complicated but only complicate enough to convey the concept in mind.

Is there even such a thing as a standard dongle? Pretty sure there isn’t. And as you say you can just use the USBC module and continue using your USBC dongle.

Some of that is administration. Medical research (legally) requires all kinds of oversight committees: DSMBs for clinical trials, IRBs for experiments involving humans and IACUCs for work with animals. The Sponsored Research folks help prepare proposals and make sure that work is done and money is spent in compliance with the sponsors' policies. I'd bet many of those forks are at Redwood City.

The rest of it takes administration. The folks at SLAC need to get paid. Someone needs to check that the doctors and nurses at Stanford Medical are appropriately licensed; once they are, someone also needs to find somewhere for them to park.

They list what's out there: https://redwoodcity.stanford.edu/about/campus-directory, which also includes Stanford University Press and the Tech Transfer Office.

Yes, but the shallow areas aren't very interesting, which is why people work in the deep areas.
The reason they want you to run the app is the topic of the thread. They want surveillance data.
They use any excuse to move programs out of user control and onto the cloud. They won't even download fonts without blanket agreement to all of their "connected experiences" [1].

And the marketing is excellent. "Connected experience" conjures up such warm and fuzzy feelings, the very opposite of "surveillance as a service".

I'd argue the "it's a tech stock" vs "It's a car stock" is more an investor sentiment thing, with no hard rules for Tesla.

I also think aggregate investor sentiment has treated TSLA as more of a tech company in the past.

Where TSLA sits on the Car/Tech spectrum seems to me to be changing as a result of a few things:

1. Failures of self driving.

2. More traditional car companies going electric.

3. EV no longer seems like such a disruptive technology.

It's an interesting change because investor expectations of the stock are going to change as well.

My gut feeling is that those changing expectations will hurt TSLA stock even more because comparing TSLA to other car companies on traditional metrics for car company success(Volume, defects per vehicle, etc) is going to be bad for TSLA.
