supernote's tablets are designed to have replaceable motherboards/batteries although it's still to be seen whether they will actually be able to support that long-term.

Analogizing this to human hallucination is silly. In the instance you're talking about, the human isn't hallucinating, they're lying.

Ah yeah, the share dialog is really basic, I ended up using Firefox and installing the full extension when I wanted to save pages (also allows you to save pages from places you're logged into)

I seem to be able to tag articles, do you not have an "Edit Labels" option in the article menu? Regardless, they definitely were lagging on Android development, but it was still finished enough to use it. There's even a version that supports pagination: https://github.com/tent4kel/omnivore/releases/

this really sucks, it's by far the best reader app out there. Hoping that people will be able to figure out a straightforward way to do self-hosting, because I would be willing to use the app as it is right now forever.

It's not a great self-hosting option, tbh, depends on a lot of Google services and the support for it in the apps can be finicky.

Whisper can also generate timings at the word level, which you could use to make better-timed subtitles

The blur effect that shows up when you start chatting is very annoying -- I want to be able to see the details of the paper so I can ask about them!

I wasn't pointing fingers at the retirees, I specifically blamed at the federal government, who refuse to recognize the Navajo Nation's water access rights, as you said.

I'm sure the authors meant well, but it's absurd to act like this is a solution. They could have a clean source of water, but the federal government is siding against them[1] for water rights so that retirees in Arizona can have golf courses and manicured lawns in the middle of a desert[2].

The working class can't live off your pity, they would much rather have a strong union movement from every sector so we can fight together.

No, they aren't. Just look at Wikipedia, it's a common enough misconception that the page for right-to-work directs people to at-will employment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment

I certainly think they're emblematic of changes in attitudes, but I think the direction of causation is not so clear.

Every few years someone thinks that they have a new plan to revolutionize labor organizing, usually involving some sort of app that will somehow replace the work necessary to organize a union, and they are always wrong. Building a union that's strike-ready requires a lot of on the ground work that you simply cannot automate.

SAG, DGA, and WGA are all labor unions. The other cases I'll grant you, but it's less clear what their direct benefit to their members is besides acting as lobbying organizations.

I noticed you were from Turkey -- I've never heard of the phrasing "chamber of engineers", but from Wikipedia, it sounds to be a kind of labor union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Chambers_of_Turkish_E...

I think you mean at-will employment, right-to-work usually refers to bans on union security agreements.

What's an example of a non-union worker organization that you've seen work well for its members?

Apparently there was a limited run last year which claimed to have the full involvement of June: https://www.davidtibet.com/products/the-pepsi-cola-addict-by...

This one seems to have a forward by the same guy, so I would guess she's involved here too?

I was saying that it is false that is is widely accepted.

I am a linguist, that's where my knowledge of what is widely accepted in our field comes from.

> This is not quite true; it is widely accepted that certain languages are less complex than most others.

This is just false, it is not widely accepted.

No, anything describable in BNF is at most as high on the Chomsky-Schutzenberg hierarchy as context-free grammars, regardless of size. BNF is also not a normal form, so you can't really compare rules written in BNF to one another that way. There is Chomsky Normal Form, which you could use to compare sizes. But natural languages have been shown to be non-context-free, so they aren't describable in CNF.

You might be thinking of the notion of MDL (minimum description length), which is an information-theoretic notion of complexity which boils down to the question "how long is the program that generates this data". To use minimum description length, however, you need to have a fixed programming language. So if you have a Python program that generates all of English and all of Japanese, then you could compare the complexity of those two languages.

However, this measure of complexity can't be stated absent the assumption that these languages are generated using Python -- that is, the fact that language A is more complex than language B in Python does not entail that language A is more complex than language B in the mind (using the "mind's programming language").

And herein lies the big question for a lot of linguists: what's the programming language that the mind uses to generate language?

Introspectable neural nets is quite literally an oxymoron.

And the Duvalier regime is entirely on the Haitian people? The history of Haiti in the 20th century is impossible to separate from the major world power next door. The US has been nearly constantly involved in controlling Haitian politics, including literal invasions, and absolutely not for the benefit of the Haitian people, but to ensure that no other powers grew in the Caribbean region that could threaten its power.

you can get XPS13s for under $1000 pretty easily.

Maybe this isn't the advice you were looking for, but why don't you just ask her to explain the issues that she's facing when she deals with them? You're never going to be more informed than her about the technical issues, your strength is as moral support for her to make her own decisions.

Students cannot already file grievances. Grievance procedures are part of a contract, and many, if not all, non-unionized grad workers work without a contract, and if they do have a grievance procedure, they are often only through university-run venues where they do not receive independent representation.

Why would it be? International workers have the same labor rights that American workers do.

bruh you spent all of your first post writing a rant attacking one of your grad students don't act all high and mighty now

i'm sure that your students are very happy to criticize the person that pays them, and who has a complex about them not being deserving enough, to their face

edit: if you expect to be able to use your own anecdotes as evidence against unionization, expect them to actually be interrogated. if this is how you handle conflict with a random person on the internet, i shudder to imagine how you handle conflict with someone who works for you.
