    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 …

    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 fi…

    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 …

    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 w…

    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/Righ…

    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 organ…

    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/…

    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?

    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 r…
