I use Apple dictation heavily for transcribing interviews. I've tried all the voice-to-text services out there and none have been reliable enough *at transcribing an audio file. I've settled on playing audio in my headphones and p

It would be remarkable if the clicks were being used for navigation since they have "the smallest brains of any vertebrate".

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart is a more gentle post-apocalyptic story, but very beautiful. Not really much in the way of hackers. I like how it chronicles a procession of animal population boom and bust cycles that would naturally happe

Conquistador by Buddy Levy is also an great source on this topic. He has other books about disastrous expeditions in the Arctic. His writing theme is basically "some guys set out on an expedition and then everything went to shit."

I appreciate the research and comparisons, but framing it like "what if we replaced..." is childish. I hunt with a traditional bow for my own reasons, and also hunt with rifles. It's interesting on its own to compare them and

The root of humor is surprise. Not everything that is surprising is funny. But if there's anything you can generalize about humor, I think it's subversion of expectation.

If you make $100k in a year in wages, and after all your expenses you net $16k in savings, 1/8 of that is $2k. Imagine violating some law that harms children and your fine is $2k.

It's a voluntary arrangement that they can leave. Certain activities come with responsibilities and restrictions, *in the interest of protecting everyone else's rights.

That seems logically incoherent (for a court to say). An individual can leave a company if they don't want to take those actions.

Transcripts of what? I think stories are special, and I wouldn't lump them together with "all text".

Isn't listening to people tell stories fundamental to what we are? Wouldn't you rather be a part of a culture that cares about the difference between listening to a person's voice vs. a bot? Edit: My concern is audio files en

It would be appropriate to do something about your dog barking at the mailman, like hire a professional and learn how to teach him not to do that.

It's a concept with many names. When I studied economics in college there was a course called social choice theory, which was about all kinds of "preference aggregation" and voting systems.

One possible silver lining would be if governments ordered and managed fleets of self-driving passenger vehicles, as public transport.

That blows, I bet that's loud as hell. I'd file a nuisance complaint with your city's 3-1-1 service to get the ball rolling. Some people just don't care enough to hire a professional to help them with dog behavior issues

In the past year three close neighbors who I was friendly with moved out and the couples that moved in have been so rude and shitty. It's been such a massive quality of life decline, and just feels like terrible luck.

I love that a guy as brilliant as Darwin spent time cutting paper into triangles to give to worms to see how they stuffed it into their burrows. My favorite earth worm fact is you have approximately one hundred million worms worth of energy
