I was talking about (partial or full) elision of trailing consonants - so e.g. where the 'g' in 'trailing' gets swallowed. The flapping concept seems to be primarily about 't' and 'd' sounds mid-word, although with it affecting trailing consonants intra-phrase in some cases.

Fair point that either could apply to AgentHub mind, I was going from pronouncing it as two words and swallowing the 't' as being likely to cause 'asian hub' to be heard, flapping it gets me something more like 'asian dub.'

(I -think- my accent elides more than it flaps, but given I can range from broad lancashire through to BBC English depending on context 'which accent' is an open question; also I may have completely misunderstood something)

IDK about the 76 email by the queen, but by the time the 90's rolled around I would have thought that electronic communications would have been pretty advantageous. Having everything printed out and hand delivered just seems like a waste of time. Particularly for something as large as the executive branch where there are so many secretaries that need to communicate.

Heck, DHS was primarily pitched and founded because of the 9/11 communication breakdown. I have to wonder how much of that was due to the fact that communications were papers flying around everywhere.

how have the mathematical contributions of quantum physics affected mathematics? have they??

finally, I wonder how will the schizm in mathematics that is the IUT (mochizuki's theory) will finally pan out. apparently euler also left stuff behind that took over 70 years to be understood so I ain't holding my breath.
@nanochess this is pretty cool and it was a pleasant surprise to find out you're a Toledo. If I ever drop by CDMX I'd love if we could go grab some coffee together.

For those unaware, the Toledo family is somewhat famous in Mexico for assembling their own PCs along with the programs that run on them, OS and all that, all home brewed. A bit reminiscent of Terry Davis and TempleOS, but I say this with respect as I don't think the Toledos are deranged people, lol.
The law here bans both the use of autodialers and "artificial or prerecorded voices" in calls to cell phones (along with a variety of other types of phone numbers like emergency lines, other types of lines where you might pay for the incoming call, etc.).

Separately, it bans artificial/prerecorded voices in calls to residential lines.

Both provisions have carveouts for emergencies or when the party being called has given their prior consent.

The phone system has gotten so bad these days that a lot of the time the pausing for 3-5 seconds isn’t voluntary - it just doesn’t connect the call properly. The most basic hundred year old regular phone call is too much to handle for modern systems I suppose

I know I can discuss matters and get code snippets from ChatGPT but is it yet viable to integrate some AI-whatever to an IDE and some project management system and just observe the tool generate a draft pull request from some ticket in the project management system that I as the human developer responsible for the task can then review? My assumption is that there is no such seamless solution yet and I'm not sure whether will ever be but I also feel like I want to keep myself up to date about whether there has been advancements worth noting. If you know of such working solutions that you are satisfied with, please share the exact toolchain: which IDE, which AI-thingy and which project management thingy?
If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear. I would take the hypothetical fear and pushback by these "types" as a strong positive signal that this is an effort that is vitally worth doing for society.

It's simply too expensive. People that want to play around with a non-x86_64 system can buy one of a thousand different ARM devices and get all sorts of software running on it. If you want POWER, you're buying old datacenter gear with all the downsides of that class of hardware - or you're buying a Raptor system where the price has skyrocketed in recent years for aging hardware.

I pre-ordered a Blackbird motherboard and 32 thread CPU and got it in 2019. I used it as my main workstation until 2022 and then decided I'd had enough fighting the software ecosystem. I still have the machine because I've regretted selling other odd hardware in the past ... especially my dual 133mhz BeBox.

I live in Seattle, so you’ll see bikes mostly blow through stop signs going down a decline, they can faster than 10-15 even without e-assist. Cars, when they do ignore the stop sign, can be going up or down, however. If I see a bike going downhill approaching a stop sign, I assume they are going to try and ignore it if it won’t obviously get them killed. Uphill, bikes care more about stopping since they aren’t losing momentum.

One addiction to watch out for is the desire to read articles about other people's attempts to conquer their phone addiction. They seemed to start about 2-3 years ago - surely we have passed the peak by now?

In my experience you get a degree of dopamine from the inevitable schadenfreude felt reading of the author's difficulty or perceived "failure", but there is a steep law of diminishing returns when it comes to learning anything new, until eventually you realise this and that, even if you are not addicted to your phone, you are almost certainly addicted to something else yourself (e.g. Wordle, some podcast you could almost certainly live without, websites you would be ashamed to admit to using, damaging personal relationships, the spotting or collecting of pretty much any real or virtual object and so on.)

The secret is to (a) tell yourself not to click on the stories in the first place and reward yourself for doing so (b) look but quickly scan them. Also, actually check who wrote the article, so you can decide whether or not you know or care who they are.

My own phone tips are:

- deleting apps (especially anything social but also YouTube and anything that feeds you random content - the advice from another commenter about considering the business model of the app is good)
- inserting gaps between apps on your home screen so it's not cluttered (iPhone users: do a search for "Invisible iOS Home Screen icon Template" - it's ridiculous Apple don't let you add blank spaces, but we are (still) where we are)
- turning all the badges/counters off
- massively pruning notifications
- having a mobile browser home screen filled with icons for 'meaningful/useful' favourite sites
- using text only news sites (less distracting)
- placing the phone face down or across the room
- keeping it in silent mode the entire time
- putting it in airplane mode at night
- books/audiobooks (because more effort's gone into them but also they're longer, so there are far less frequent occasions when you have to decide/browse what to listen to next)
- personally I'd also recommend turning screen time etc OFF - on iOS at least you can get a decent enough idea of usage just from looking at the battery page and time limits inevitably never work.

I'm aware if I was truly free of any addictive behaviour myself I'd have skipped writing a comment about it, but I don't comment on this issue that often and the above have genuinely worked for me for quite a long time.
Ahh good point. I saw the 2009, but somehow my brain reconciled that with 10 years ago and didn't see any problem!

Yes, I'm specifically thinking of companies that were doing fine when they took over.
All the recalls have been performed, but none of it is the starlink. Maybe I dodged a bullet.
For example, to shut off the gas motor without drag while seamlessly switching to EV power, the clutch has to be auto engaged. Another example is the opposite, if the battery is getting low and needs to be charged, the transmission needs to downshift to a lower gear at the same moment the drag from charging is engaged, or the bike will not have enough torque to maintain speed.

Since the transmission is not just for driving the bike, but is also the connection between the charging generator and the engine, it’s automatic control is necessary as part of managing the battery level.

Now if you had an old fashioned simple EV system like the first Honda Insight, where the electric motor and gas engine are directly connected and can’t spin independently, in that case you can have a regular manual transmission, as those vehicles did. However, they are much less efficient and versatile, and don’t have a useful EV only mode.
What are they actually trying to achieve by doing this? To get you to speak so they can record more voice samples?
I'm afraid you don't really understand what you're writing about. Terms such as marginal cost and average cost are used only for goods, which are sold on a free market for a price. Your examples are services or freeware, you can't calculate marginal cost and average cost for a service or freeware.

Don't accept them until they start talking.

IDK, my iPhone will show me the live transcription of the callers message without me answering it. And then if I want to speak to them, I can answer the call in the middle of the message being left and talk to them.

Sounds cool, but this concept isn't at all new. Anyone who used answering machines did exactly this. You would listen to the message being left in real-time and pick up if you actually wanted to talk to them.

If people can't be bothered to leave a message, then that's their problem.

A revenue model based purely on traffic officially died along with The Messenger last week. The pure subscription model lends itself to publishers that are truly "necessary" like industry publications or the few papers of record like NYT and WSJ. Everyone in the middle is now scrambling to build some kind of hybrid model or else just die.
I’ve submitted several ideas to Apple over the years. One of them actually made its way into iOS, which is the silence unknown callers option. I’m very happy about that. Before they added it, I tried to implement it with the existing feature set by setting my default ring to silent, then adding a custom ring to all my contacts. It was a pain, but it technically worked.

One thing I really noticed was the dramatic drop in call volume once I stopped answering calls. Once I stopped answering, they stopped trying to call. People are basically being trained not to answer the phone.
I have a problem with “surveilling nazis”. If they’re not actively committing criminal acts, and there isn’t a warrant demonstrating with specificity that the particular facility or group is involved (e.g the same requirement for any other warrant) they should not be subject to any more surveillance than say a Christian group, or a Muslim group, or an lgbt group, or hell a group of sports team supporters. The amount of surveillance should be zero.

I hate nazis with a passion, and would never be ok employing or working with someone who’s basic life belief is that a bunch of their coworkers (maybe including me?) don’t have the right to exist and are fundamentally inferior (if nothing else a cynical 100% capitalist take would be that having a Nazi anywhere in your management hierarchy will clearly open your company to plausible discrimination suits).

Before anyone brings up accepting others beliefs, that’s not an issue. There is a basic social contract: you can believe whatever you want without consequences until your beliefs get to “other people don’t get to have the same rights as me”. The “paradox of tolerance” is BS used by bigots to try and allow them to attack the rights of others with impunity under the guise of accepting other’s beliefs.
Eh, if I want to be as upfront and "look how open we're being" as possible. They have a marginal basically-prototype product, in a limited market where a lot of people are already very annoyed about them, and the main competitor has just vanished in a puff of poor crisis management. They should really be leaning on demonstrating to the public that they're different.
Apple has single-handedly killed off mobile web apps from being viable on both iOS and Android, have deprived Firefox billions of dollars of revenue and strangled every other browser out of the most valuable marketplace. They do this why taking 20b/year from Google.

Apple is the one that has cost Firefox. Otherwise they’d likely have a thriving mobile browser which would have taken off because of extensions years before the competition.

Apple is not the defender of the open web, they invested the bare minimum into Safari to the point it was full of bugs, completely unreliable to build anything but basic websites, and was lacking all the core features required to compete with native apps. They were not competing with chrome on any platform except for on MacOS.

The only reason they have increased investment recently is because of the threat of competition.

if there is choice (like in my town growing up where there were 5 elementary schools and you could choose to go to any one) there was no guarantee that you'd go to the one you wanted with priority based on various things (distance, popularity etc).

In Boston where there are some VERY good high schools and some meh high schools there is an exam system that may or may not be replaced by something else due to the fact it blatantly favors the wealthier residents.
