You can actually accomplish this pretty easily with off the shelf components! You can just say, "Hey, I think we've met before but I can't remember exactly where?"

The use case for these glasses are to record everything, everywhere. That it's also helpful for people with vision impairment is a, positive, coincidence.

"safe easy life" != "free speech"

but even if it did, the nuclear bit is a bold claim, especially when one of the most famous nuclear escalation in the u.s. was resolved by cooler heads in charge going around traditional war hawks and negotiating instead.

Also, after profiling with sb-sprof, calling

Will show the assembly augmented with the fraction of sampled hits on each individual instruction.

Doesn't seem that difficult. It should point to other sources that are reputable (or at least relevant) like any search engine does.

One thing that has annoyed me with some personal implementation work is why does DAP use a cosmetically similar but not following spec version of JSONRPC? Why not just use JSONRPC especially considering LSP already does?

I have yet to see any real data on this phenomenon outside of anecdotal stories, so I'm also in the same boat re: group hallucination. Would be interested in seeing some more substantial evidence.

New comment by dom2 in "Heart risks, data gaps fuel debate over Covid-19 boosters for young people"

> A study ... suggested it may be driven by an inflammatory response associated with SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein, which the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines coax the body to produce. The group reported finding certain antibodies in both vaccine-induced myocarditis patients and patients with severe COVID-19, which itself can cause myocarditis.

If those who had this reaction to the vaccine gotten COVID without the vaccine, would it not be likely that they would see the same inflammation response and the same heart damage? If that were the case, receiving the vaccine still seems like a reasonable choice.

This is just a frontend for AudD, no? Nothing wrong with that, but I got really excited for a moment to see open source, fully local music recognition software.

Luckily, I know that you can tell the difference between a computer and another human being. That makes the distinction easier to understand.

Yeah I'm super interested in that idea as well. I wonder if there are already some initiatives in the US doing stuff like it? Would it be as simple as setting up a server in someone's house and then splitting the cost of electricity and internet? Would a multiuser setup like that work under a personal internet line, or would most ISPs try to shut it down?

Yes on 22 spent nearly $300 million on the campaign, along with utilizing their established network of apps to tell CA residents to vote yes on 22. The comparison isn't at all equivalent. Uber et al used their vast resources to essentially purchase a law and it's astounding to me that anyone would defend them for it.
