Interesting, I wonder if the non-deterministic behavior of Transmeta's processors makes it harder to perform cryptographic timing attacks on them. Anecdotally, I once owned a netbook that used one of these processors, a Vaio PCG-U3, but didn't notice any difference in speed when compared to other netbooks employing Atom processors, both were practically unusable even for basic activities.

I have jellyfin[0] installed on my home server, then use finamp[1] on my iphone to listen on the go via streaming and usually download just the playlists to the device, which eventually get rotated.

I thought it had some relation to the Brazilian health system, "Sistema Único de Saúde" (known as SUS).

1m rise is expected, said the news.

You can see him clearly speaking about that in this video[0].

This would be:

  listOf("a", "b", "c", "d")
    .chunked(2)
    .map { (first, second) -> first + second }

Or simply:

  listOf("a", "b", "c", "d")
    .chunked(2) { it[0] + it[1] }

My browser didn't remember the dark mode checkbox state after reloading.

This (commercial) program[1] does the job for Spotify. I think what it does is just play the given playlist then it sets Spotify's audio output to a virtual audio device similar to BlackHole[2], then reads from it, encodes the audio, fetches the metadata (including album art) and sets it. There are open source[3] alternatives[4] but I haven't tested them.

I find this Tcl quine quite amazing:

  join {{} \{ \}} {join {{} \{ \}} }

I think it tells a lot about the weirdness and awesomeness of the language at the same time.

On the contrary, nowadays you can buy several types of gift cards with crypto[0].

This is awesome. I wish something like this existed for Slack!

edit: it does[0]!

I still don't agree with your premise, people can be used as tools even when I can distinguish it from a person given other aspects (for example I may recognize that people can act autonomously and tools not). My initial question was precisely about semantics though and I think there's the possibility that my initial reasoning may not hold for some, more specific definition of tool.

I think that definition of a broom may be too broad for me to be able to exclude anything from it but I'll concede on the definition of tool from wikipedia being similarly also too broad.

Of course we're more than just that, but if we agree on the definition of tool to be "an object that can extend an individual's ability to modify features of the surrounding environment" (lifted from wikipedia) then wouldn't you agree that humans are being used on a daily basis exactly this way?

On the contrary, can a person paid to develop something be considered (partially) a tool?

I would like to see justified downvoting implemented instead. For example users should be able to counter-argument (as in a different reply mode) a post/comment, in that case If the counter-argument gets more upvotes than the parent post/comment then the parent comment should start greying out like it does here. Of course this doesn't even try to fix sybil attacks but I still would prefer it.

Isn't consciousness the feeling of existing?
