In my videography work I often do a separate audio-only interview to use as voice-over for the final video. I like to print out a transcript, mark the highlights, then go to the sound file and extract the snippets I liked. Extracting the snippets is a lot easier when I have timestamps printed out inline with the text at intervals of one or two minutes. In the case of bigWav, there were timestamps marked at only three or four points, so I had to go back and manually enter ten more marks to orient myself on the page. In addition, I used ChatGPT on an answer-by-answer basis to clean up the copy and add in punctuation for ease of reading. So there was an hour or two of data sanitizing needed to get everything ready to print out and use efficiently.

I just tried this out and it's very nice and easy to use. Thank you for sharing! I ended up copy-pasting the output from the messages page, which is 99% of the way to exporting a .txt file and my personal use case. Great work.

It's in the title - nothing special happens in this year. It is just another year in the late Ming dynasty, still a long way off from its eventual demise. But the author uses this moment as a springboard to describe what the principals did in the past and what they would end up doing in the future.

The release mentions that MIRI captures on a wavelength which includes both starlight and interstellar clouds, which admittedly looks awesome when put together!

I completely agree about using pen and paper for learning and organizing my life. I have a weekly wall planner made of sticky notes and it’s so much more fulfilling than poking around a calendar app to see my week outlined in a two square foot section of my office wall. But for those of us who are curious about your process, could you please tell us what the Z word is and link to your recommended resource?

What a cool idea! Now, how about somethimg where only content can be shared if it's only 500+ years old?

Another benefit that comes to mind is having experienced stakeholders guiding a newer organization through growing pains in good faith.

They didn't call it the peripatetic school for nothing. There are also cases of patients with speech aphasia who can speak while walking, but can't while at rest; it turns out that brain structures for speech and locomotion are interrelated.

I wonder if Firefox partnering with Duck Duck Go instead would be feasible, or even a net positive for users and developers. I'll admit to partly liking this idea just for the Game of Thrones spiteful backstab energy.

An obvious example would be intellectual cross-pollination. This project is likely to get a lot of exposure in the Game of Life community as well as the Computer Science community, increasing the chances that members of either community feel compelled to cross over and contribute in an area that may have previously seemed uninteresting/unpromising/unknown.

Not being willfully obtuse, but there's a lot more than a KB of code on that YouTube page. To me it feels like the difference between watching a movie on 35mm vs DVD.

Totally agree. I can't watch the demo run because I'm on Firefox, and I have no desire to watch a video for the reasons you described. And the world keeps spinning, I guess.

I'm getting the same issues as all of the other Firefox users. Guess I'll never watch it, because I have a hard policy of never, ever installing Chrome malware on my personal computer.

Maybe the title should be changed to "Chrome demo"?

The false equivalence between the right to due process in accessing the world's de-facto global communication platform and eating junk food is honestly sickening to me. The power to say anything you want to anybody in the world has fundamentally different consequences for every society on Earth than the power to slowly poison yourself in the colorfully branded plastic seat of your choosing.

I think that Twitter and Facebook are a lot closer to the United States Postal Service than they are to McDonald's. Imagine getting banned from sending/receiving mail and having your home or business address "delisted" by a private company, and then you get closer to what is going on.

To become a PR company that is based on the memory of a community/purpose.

This sounds like the angst-beat poetry of our current future.

You should probably edit out the team names & age - I'm somewhat concerned for the privacy of your friend given how specific you're being.

Completely agree. He overwrote himself into a blind corner - wasted so much time describing the orbital mechanics of chains that my eyes rolled all the way up into the back of my head, completely spoiled any remote semblance of hard sci-fi he had going with the surprise Ur-Middle Earth origin story, and finally never justified all the self-indulgence with even a single word about the agent.

It works great with Lynx (text-based browser in the terminal), which indicates it's at least usable by screen readers. Bonus points for not making me scroll past a horribly formatted list of links at the top of the page. I see your point, but at least give the credit for the tooling that generates an accessible text-based experience for those who prefer it. I'd rather have a few good tools that generate something reasonable and consistent than a wild west of everybody hand-baking their own personally flawed interpretation of the standard.

Me.

And though a tooth may bend the purest coin, remember too how gold will knead reason and virtue themselves like dough.

Just sent an email. I'll update when I learn more.

Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!" -- that is the motto of enlightenment.

Anytime we read a paper book or write with a pen, we break free of the tyranny of the device. The mind is one step further removed from the connected mob and therefore one step closer to thinking on its own terms.

Petitions are free, right? Unless it actually does exist, it makes sense to start one.

Title should be "Facebook, Twitter create global array of disinformation networks"

I didn't even consider that! But certainly there's a ring to the term "Treadmill Browser".

Yup. And the worst part is that the techniques used are entirely outside our regulatory environment. The rules that constrain a journalist don't apply to the head moderator with their finger on the trigger at Facebook. Drive engagement today, suppress voters tomorrow, justify anything under the sun before you know it.

See Google support.

So what's the precedent for rewriting the textbooks to reflect this new understanding? The ones that come to mind are Mendel, Democritus, Aristarchus of Samos.

Which treadmill browser are you referring to?
