That would foil me if it was my only memory device. A+B=C is true of ~55 (napkin math) different 3-digit numbers. Plus another 40-ish for A×B=C and 50-ish for A-B=C...

Which is funny, isn't using a standard <input type="file"> much more straightforward than actually accepting a drag and drop?
FWIW I've been seeing this pattern all over the place lately, where drag-and-drop is so emphasized that the click-to-browse option is hidden (or entirely missing).
As cool as accidental historical biohacking is, I think the Monet-UV hypothesis should be taken with a grain of salt.
NT = nT = nano-tera-(dimensionless) = 10^-9 * 10^9 = 1
During my travels I was advised to be particularly cautious about treating police courteously and following rules to the letter because getting arrested is a much bigger deal than elsewhere.
I'm surprised that it has much use for a normal GET request, but I guess anything can be a bottleneck!
Our community might have a slight old-reddit bias -- we have a core group that doesn't like change -- but I have a hard time believing it could have a terribly large effect once the numbers are in the millions.
I moderate a top 100 sub and if the built-in stats are to be believed, the recent breakdown is something like:
= Pageviews =
40% apps
28% old reddit
17% mobile reddit
15% new reddit
= Unique visits =
41% mobile reddit
27% new reddit
24% apps
8% old reddit
This doesn't really capture the ratio of contributors who use each (or perhaps, more interestingly, number of contributions per platform), but it's hard for me to guess that accurately since new-reddit detractors are a very vocal group.
> from Latin album, which in classical times was a board chalked or painted white, upon which public notices (the Annales Maximi, edicts of the praetor, lists of senators, etc.) were inscribed in black, hence "a list of names." This Latin word was revived 16c. by German scholars, whose custom was to keep an album amicorum of colleagues' signatures; its meaning then expanded to "book with blank leaves meant to collect signatures and other souvenirs."
> Latin album is literally "white color, whiteness;" it is a noun use of the neuter of the adjective albus "white"
- Don't you get tired of [emotionally coping with interacting with people who tend to have more health issues and issues with worse outcomes]? (Is it fair to want to see healthier individuals for your own personal reasons? How does one defend their psyche from seeing trauma so often?)
- Don't you get tired of [having to work primarily with a population that has a limited set of recurring problems that may not be as interesting or rewarding to work on]? (How ethical is it to want specific kinds of engagement from your job? Is it okay to be annoyed with individuals with preventable diseases and injuries?)
I have a number of close friends who are new doctors, and they grapple with these kinds of issues all the time.
- Is it guaranteed that the ruleset can produce any sequence of collisions?
- Seems like the vast majority of possible states would represent words with concurrent phonemes, which is pretty much undefined behavior for the human mouth. I guess you don't want the ideograms to be too informationally-dense, but that's a pretty sparse encoding.
- Example table only does CV syllables and it's not immediately obvious to me how to extend it to more syllable types. (especially crazy consonant-dense clusters like "twelfths") You could have ∅ entries in each vector, but then you start to lose some of the natural "timing" analogy if some collisions don't represent syllables.
- Not a lot of visual distinction between different words (e.g. "like" and "site" are just 1 step vertically transposed from each other).
- Each word has many many possible ideograms, not just because each collision can be generated multiple ways, but also since you can create non-colliding "noise" cells in unused areas.
I guess you could leverage the expressiveness somehow, like tending to use certain collision types or cell states implies something about the context / pragmatics.
I do really like the out-of-the-box thinking that inspired this, but I also like seeing it taken to the rational extreme. How can you get the dynamic nature of the cellular automata shine in your system? What distinguishes it from using the same table, but just putting numbers in the cells for when each combination occurs?
EDIT: Ahh it's probably that the site uses `prefers-color-scheme` media queries, but missed a couple cases.
(I guess it's not the only slur it has to avoid with that letter combination though.)
Also the frequently depicted diagram of expanding from a point doesn't really intend to depict the shape of it. The universe might still be infinitely large and the big bang occurred "everywhere" within it. Where is the shockwave in something that has no edge?
(To be clear, I'm not asking it to save past connections/frames. I just want to see the new frames that arrive/depart after I open it...)
Obviously having more arable or at least livable land is useful to human society, but I generally assume that messing with any large scale climates or biomes has adverse effects. I'm not yet aware of what that would be for deserts though. I suppose they have fairly high albedo, unlike most land formations that can exist in lower latitudes.
(To be clear my own views aren't necessarily so utilitarian and I like deserts. Just curious about a rational geoengineering civilization might do.)
