I am just working on pretty much the same tool: subscanner.com

My goal is to get the content indexed on search engines to make youtube transcripts browsable.

I have decided not to use auto-generated subtitles as they are of poor quality and search engines do not like broken English. However since I am not done with the tool completely yet, I might reconsider this.

That's easy. Wait for it to learn to read and provide books.

Thank you for the link. Satistying to watch tradition meet modernish equipment. Would you know how long does a tube well like this yield water? Do the farmers regularly deepen the drill or just find a new location?

That reminds me of an article linked few months back about opium farming: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-53450688

More on this topic in a recent HN submission and its associated discussion:

I can see how an API like this would be a great fit for some no code solution integration. Certainly bad idea in some situations, but let's not be too quick to judge the usefulness of the project.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson made following analogy:

HN reads from EU, take half an hour to contact your EU parlament elect and provide them with information and arguments on why this law shouldn't be passed. The comments with links on this thread should help you compile a reasonable email.

The new codebase is apparently in Rust. Perhaps the parent is being sarcastic with respect to the quantity of results here: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=rewrite+in+Rust

What does music theory mean to you? Is there a mathematical introductory take on the topic? Can it be studied without an interest in music, but rather for appreciation of patterns?

I've seen the term many times before in context I found appealing, but the wiki page talks mainly about the connection to actual music.

I've been playing around in my head with tangential feature. I run into situations where I must make some assumptions about a codebase and its context which aren't translated into the type system. I add comments to remind readers whenever I feel like an assumption should be stressed.

However assumptions change with time. I'd like to be able to cross reference all the places in the code base where certain assumption was made to a readme section with necessary details and background. In my ideal world IDE would resolve these links and made them easier to maintain.

_EDIT: word order_

I would have guessed this was in a very strong sense a linguistic issue. Does a composition "veggie burger" present an oxymoron, thus forcing the consuner to either interpret the composition as being one or the other? Or does the adjective merely make a more specific case? A compiled list of similar compositions would in my opinion help the counter argument.

The line of reasoning of the agricultural lobby about "confused consumers" feels to me like an insult to public's intelligence.

Their arguments about protecting farmers is valid and needs to be considered.

The Mindscape podcast has a recent episode on this topic - Sean B. Carroll On randomness.

We've got that in Czech too, it's a nice feature of Slavic languages.

I wonder how the properties that Jeff Hawkings derived from neocortex (and partially hippocampus) in his work "On Intelligence" hold against the structure in question.

Healthy lifestyle and good nutrition can easily bring one to -200kg.

Slightly related excerpt:

"Supporters of the Strong AI Hypothesis insisted that consciousness was a property of certain algorithms – a result of information being processed in certain ways, regardless of what machine, or organ, was used to perform the task. A computer model which manipulated data about itself and its ‘surroundings’ in essentially the same way as an organic brain would have to possess essentially the same mental states. ‘Simulated consciousness’ was as oxymoronic as ‘simulated addition’.

Opponents replied that when you modelled a hurricane, nobody got wet. When you modelled a fusion power plant, no energy was produced. When you modelled digestion and metabolism, no nutrients were consumed – no real digestion took place. So, when you modelled the human brain, why should you expect real thought to occur?"

I've heard about phonemic restoration, but this is even more interesting. Thanks for sharing

Judging by other comments, it seems there's a space to fill this niche with a series of blog articles or a book, if you're that sort of person.

Great video on checksum was done by Ben Eater:

ISBN also uses last digit as a check digit:

This reminds me of a great hard sci-fi book, Greg Evanses Diaspora.

I think it's aimed at scenarios in which the attacker is not aware of this utility running. Otherwise they could just kill it before inserting the USB.

This Newyorker article talks about similar phenomenon in another kind of stressful environment, an authoritarian regime:

I found this to be a great method too. Especially for topics which I have been educated on in my mother tongue in high school. I know the term in Czech but I'd be unsure about the direct translation.

I quite like that idea. Maybe you could run base64/base32 on the blurhash. That brings two potential issues I could think of. Is the size of the result less than filesystem max file name length? And what about collisions where two slightly different images have the same blurhash?

I recommend Mindscape by Sean Carroll. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast
