Some other setups already in the comments, but to chime in with my own:

I gave up on 3rd party things. My automation VM includes a GUI environment, and I run the official Linux Spotify client. The only way my setup can break is if Spotify gives on Linux entirely.

Snapcast[1] transmits two streams to 7 different speaker setups:

* Music + text to speech
* Just text to speech

When TTS plays on the first stream, music volume is ducked for the duration. That setup is all pulseaudio junk. I could actually play any system audio to my entire house, or even provide an 3.5mm aux input near the VM host, although in practice I stick to Spotify for convenience and the ability to use the clients on any machine to control everything.

Speakers in some rooms turn on/off completely with the room, while others stay on but toggle between music and text-to-speech, to make sure I hear those notices (which are like doors opening, washer is done, etc).

My main work setup has a snapcast client, so I hear TTS events even with noise canceling headphones on. Some snapcast clients are placed on existing machines (i.e. TV computer), while a few are dedicated Raspberry Pis.

At least for a while before I moved to self-hosted systemd timers, if you were running jobs near 0:00 UTC, the delay was often so long that your job wouldn't run at all. I had weeks of jobs literally not running at all before bailing on GitHub actions for this sort of thing. It was disappointing, but I'm now happier with my current setup.

Given the table they have in their README I’d still choose LZ4 over ZSTD even if the ratio is 2.8 vs 2.1 or so for compression given the decompression is so much faster with LZ4 than with ZSTD. Also compressing is, as well.
All I was saying was that the easiest argument to shut down a discussion is to invoke the fact that "America is huge". Nothing can be done, bc it's huge, end of story.
thanks for the informed comment.

the title is slightly misleading. it suggests content focused on the neuralink, brain-computer interface whereas the article is more of a general overview of all applications, including ephemeral ones like epidermal and wearable applications and ingestible diagnostics.

ephemeral ones seem more promising, especially in the near future.

could you also elaborate on the benefits of micromachined electrodes/meshes?
That's a good observation, a federated, non-commercial messaging platform has a different tech footprint than one that needs to be monetized to the max to satisfy a bunch of shareholder and generate quarterly earning reports.
The commit history shows the GPLv2 was added as an option the same time they removed the PATENTS.txt file. React's former "BSD + PATENTS" licence had been criticised, being replaced with the MIT (Expat) licence. Similar motivation here presumably.

I get that you'd need evidence, but wouldn't crypto be the perfect space for dark money? I believe there has been quite a bit of talk about the US's own intelligence investment in the crypto space. Almost everyone I've encountered that worked in US intelligence likes to operate unregulated more or less so that they can use their position to make money. Sure, there might be some laws against it but it happens very frequently. I witnessed it firsthand when working in government seeing the decision-makers getting kickbacks or eventually leaving to go work at the same vendor in a high-level position after approving a $20 million purchase for crap software.
I can maybe somewhat see it. If your can't water your yard and it dies, you can put down sod next year, and have a yard. If you can't water your almond orchard and it dies, and you have water next year, how long before you have a functional orchard? So one could argue that it makes some sense to route the damage to the places that can recover from the damage the fastest.

But, of California's agriculture, how much of it is alfalfa and lettuce and stuff like that? Stuff that, if you got no water this year, you could just replant next year? (Can you just replant alfalfa in one year? Lettuce I'm sure you can. Strawberries... not sure. Tomatoes, definitely you can.)

>Apparently DirecTV's exclusive NFL contract is expiring, so I'm hoping next season will come with new streaming options.

Prepare to be impressed by the rumored prices of the live stream package.

As an aside, especially on the west coast, if you are willing to be patient and wait a few hours after the game's over, I can strongly recommend NFL+ for replays.
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful!
Yep, if I could buy the highest quality in one click without having to search through crap on torrent indexes I would. Then after transcoding if I ever want the highest quality I just go back to the site where I bought it. Nope, they aren't gonna offer that.
And I'm not wasting my time storing and ripping Blu-Rays, I'm just gonna acquire it through Sonarr/Radarr. I know it's probably not important to 99% of users, but it would be so convenient to be able to just buy and download the movie/tv at it's highest quality in a few seconds. The closest I have found to that is the *-arr stack I am using with Jellyfin which is super automated and really great.
We used to run an entire lab on these things, including one floating at 4000V inside a perspex cage, controlling part of a C14 accelerator.

My understanding was that although you would flip the disk to boot in to Locoscript, at root it was running on CP/M, albeit with the CCP replaced by Locoscript. It would seem odd for them to re-engineer CP/M functionality - though given that CP/M was rather incomplete as an OS, it would naturally have to touch some bare metal. I never really investigate to check that belief. Is there a reason that you think that it didn't use CP/M?
ARM did so in ARMv8.8, and x86 has had REP MOVS since forever (though it only became consistently faster than SW sequences relatively recently).

The very first sentence of that Wikipedia article (let alone the rest of it) corroborates my comment.

No, the concept I am referring to is gender. Sex is a spectrum, too, but that doesn't mean that gender is not.

Ok, well, the thing is, I'm not an expert in psychology/psychotherapy, so you shouldn't trust me.

But if you'd like to find out more, here are some avenues that I suggest you dig into. They are based on conversations I had with a psychologist that I know but it's been many years and therefore I could be wrong about almost all (if not all) of this (or at least, misremembering):

1. If I remember correctly, psychoanalysis encourages a long form of therapy in a way that may not be in the best interests of the client. It is fine to have long therapies when needed, but it is not OK to extend a therapy longer than it is necessary to deal with the demands of the client and/or any other relevant and substantial issues that might come up during therapy.

Many would argue that psychotherapy should be about dealing with the issues at hand and what's preventing you from achieving your goals, in an efficient and practical way, not going on and on infinitely about exploring your infancy and your past while the weeks, months and years go by and the dollars fly away from your wallet to the therapist's wallet.

2. Psychoanalysis may also encourage finding (some would argue manufacturing) "issues" and "traumas" that have nothing to do with the problems that the client was having and may only serve to cause additional and unnecessary emotional suffering, besides all the problems that the client was already having when he decided to go into therapy. In extreme cases, this may even lead to implanting false memories of traumas.

3. Psychoanalysts may also tend to (inadvertently or "advertently") inflict and/or encourage emotional dependence between the client and the therapist, in a way that is not healthy, desirable nor in the best interests of the client.

4. The above issues may all feed into and magnify each other.

I am sure there were more issues that I've discussed, but I simply can't remember.

Note that I'm not saying that all psychoanalyst practitioners fall into the above traps, or that practitioners of other forms of psychotherapy don't, I'm only suggesting that psychoanalysis is more prone to the above issues than other forms of psychotherapy that are usually considered more scientific (like CBT).

And once again, please take all of the above with a huge grain of salt and don't trust me. I'm not an expert and I could be completely wrong and/or misremembering the above issues. So I encourage you to do your own research.

I disagree, but only slightly.

The advice about rotating shoes to prevent overuse injuries, paying attention to stress bottlenecks is general.

Bodies differ in certain ways, but I've heard the same story as the shoes from many intensive exercisers. That I've never heard from a physician.

Listen to your body.

If it hurts, and it's not muscle burn, it's tendon/ligament/worse.

Muscle burn is very obviously different to actual pain.

Just stop. Change your posture so that part of your body isn't stressed, and the actual pain goes away.

If you can't make actual pain stop hurting, take an extended break by cross training.

Don't go home for the day. Always keep your exercise routine constant, but absolutely vary it to include "low stress" fallback options for tendon/ligament strain (pushups or own bodyweight, exercise bike, swimming).

If the same part hurts again next time, you likely have a "weak" point. You will need to gradually increase intensity until the "weak" point isn't a bottleneck.

Gradually means 10% intensity growth per weak maximum, and not pushing through actual pain.

All of the above is really simple.

The question is, why isn't what "actually works" the cutesy acronym?
In this restaurant example - why can't I trust the restaurants? Because if I can - I can do all of this without Blockchain.

If there is a network of financial institutions - why can't they trust each other?

For instance using LZMA or zstd as the final stage. Quite often that's enough to put them on a par with more radically different newer formats.

If you do that with a video codec, you lose the ability to seek within the stream, which makes it useless for streaming video. For images, the amount of memory required to decompress may become excessive.

It's similar to why zip (deflate) is still widely used, but is far from optimal in compression efficiency; everything that does better (in some cases much better) is going to be slower, bigger, or both. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAQ for an example of extreme lossless compression.
>The simplest way to do this—without writing my own graphics code—is to use a 3D scatter plot. There aren’t any good plotting libraries for Common Lisp, so I used Python’s matplotlib, and used a CSV to transfer the data.

>Plotting is always tedious, but happily I was able to use ChatGPT to write most of the plotting code. I asked it to generate a simple example of a scatterplot with labeled points—that is, stars. Then I modified the presentation a bit, changing colours and font sizes, but the static plots have the problem that the perspective makes it hard to know where places really are.

>So I showed ChatGPT my plotting code, and asked it to rewrite it to create an animation where the entire plot is rotated about the vertical axis. It rewrote the script, preserving bit-for-bit identical output, and added animation support. I got an inscrutable error, showed it to ChatGPT, and it suggested a fix. I’m really happy with this approach.

Forget the turing test, conquering matplotlib is the real feat of machine intelligence.

And I really enjoyed the story, and the other one in the same universe:

>This is the noocene: 10^30 immortal souls scattered over a billion stars, across a disk eight thousand light years in diameter. And a pantheon of some seven hundred gods, who have changed the face of nature. Most leave them a wide berth: the stars around Sadalmelik are not settled.

>And when gods die, grave-robbers flock to them and dig a quarry out of their bodies. This is the crew of the Epiphany: explorers who sift through the middens of collapsed civilizations and rob the graves of the gods, searching for beautiful things. This is the Epiphany: a treasure ship, laden to the gunwales with precious things from every world and every age, and the burial hoards of the gods.

My favorite series of Hardcore History is Death Throes of the Republic[0]. It discusses the rise and fall of the Roman Republic and particularly Julius Caesar. This time period has an abundance of resources that provide plentiful discussion, and it’s full of incredible characters. I should probably find a book on the topic because I was glued to every word of each episode.

As non-author of any work, you can't relicense it no matter how permissive the license is.

When linking BSD code with GPL-licensed code, you have to have all the code follow the terms of GPL, which means effectively relicensing it. This is why some companies require copyright assignment even if they plan to stay open source.

Only the public domain code allows free mixing and matching.

Not a lawyer though, so take the above with a bowl of salt.

Edit: in theory, this allows using zstd in GPL2 projects, for instance, in the Linux kernel.
Yeah, I became a (mostly) self-taught dev at 23. I worked for a startup for free for a year, then did a small project for one, which then hired me.
> Arab Egypt had ownership of the rosetta stone and a vast array of hieroglyphs for over a millennia and never understood it, and launched no program to uncover their secrets.

Significant parallel texts were unknown until the rediscovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799. The Rosetta Stone was only deciphered as quickly as it was because Champollion had studied Coptic, a then-known and later form of the written Egyptian languages in question. If it weren't for Coptic Christians preserving their language, our understanding of Egyptian would probably be 150 years behind where it is now. If significant parallel texts were known in Egypt in 1000 CE, I'd be surprised if the Egyptians themselves wouldn't have cracked it by 1800 CE.

Also, Arab scholars did try to decipher hieroglyphs. See Ayub Ibn Maslama, Dhu Al-Nun Al-Misri, Ibn Wahshiyah, and Abu Al-Qasim Al-Iraqi.

How Do We Know Ourselves?: A Humbling Look Inside
IANYL, but LLC with an S-Corp election is the choice for the overwhelming majority of "two guys with a project" businesses -- though that can depend on the state.

YMMV, especially in California & New York, but in most of the country, it's a few hundred bucks to file and get yourself an operating agreement that isn't fill-in-the-blank. A good small business lawyer in your state will have something.

Understand, the LLC protects you against the mistakes and actions of the other guy, and a predictable set of rules if it falls apart. You still need insurance to protect you against you. But that's what you're looking for here.

I tend to be in the "wait for funding to convert to C-Corp" camp. There are some reasons to start there, but they're relatively rare.
> Milagros Miceli, a sociologist and computer scientist who has been interviewing distributed workers contracted by data annotation companies for years. Miceli has spoken to multiple labelers who have seen similar images, taken from the same low vantage points and sometimes showing people in various stages of undress.

> The data labelers found this work “really uncomfortable,” she adds.

This is an interesting point - the article seems to present that this was not done out of malice (as the woman's face was pre obscured).

> Labelers discussed Project IO [another assignment by Scale] in Facebook, Discord, and other groups that they had set up to share advice on handling delayed payments, talk about the best-paying assignments, or request assistance in labeling tricky objects.

It's clearly against policy,

> But such actions are nearly impossible to police on crowdsourcing platforms.

> When I ask Kevin Guo, the CEO of Hive, a Scale competitor that also depends on contract workers, if he is aware of data labelers sharing content on social media, he is blunt. “These are distributed workers,” he says. “You have to assume that people … ask each other for help. The policy always says that you’re not supposed to, but it’s very hard to control.”

I'm honestly not that suprised that something like this happened, where similar things happen for mturk.

1. Society demands this kind of automation
2. Companies reacting to this demand have to hire humans to perform manual labelling
3. Humans that perform labelling don't always follow the rules and policies in place
4. Data leaks occur
5. Article like this are written
6. Demands for automation don't really change

NBA is way better than the NFL but the NBA League Pass is not perfect. However I've found YouTube TV's basic package at $65 a month (basically just cable) plus the league pass at $15 gets you basically everything you want.
