I had a similar experience with Google Photos where it merged the "profiles" of my two children. Like you, I tried separating them back out manually, with no real success. Ultimately, I turned the face identification feature off entirely (which has the effect of deleting all of the face data), and then turned it back on. It took a day or so for Google Photos to start re-indexing the photos in earnest, but that fixed the issue for me, and it was less work than the manual re-tagging that I had tried before.

librdx looks interesting, I'll be taking a look, thanks!

A sqlite extension that provides a virtual table backed by an Automerge document (https://automerge.org/).

I believe that there are plenty of applications that could benefit from the collaboration or sync-ability that CRDTs* provide, but that don't need to manage the CRDTs directly. Moving the CRDT management into the database seems like a natural fit.

It's very early, and not public anywhere, but I'd be happy to chat about it if anyone has any thoughts or questions.

> I noticed that if I listened to a track while riding, I would remember exactly where I was the next time I listened to the track.

I experienced the same thing recently by listening to a book on my drive to/from work! I often listened to sections of the book a second time to catch things I missed, or to help ideas sink in, and found that I could often clearly picture the stretch of road on which I heard a passage.

Restaurant employees, preparing or serving food, could spread disease or cause harm, but are not obligated to be licensed. Would you support requiring cooks, servers, wait staff, etc., to undergo licensing?

The article mentions that the film served as their design inspiration.

"As for the design? Cash says they modeled the glasses after the 1988 film, They Live, in which a magic pair of sunglasses exposes the subliminal messaging in advertisements."

What you described sounds to me like a just-in-time (JIT) compiler!

I can't really speak for the rest of the state but, in the late 50's / early 60's, Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal army base ended up as the home of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, as well as many of the post WW2 German rocket scientists. I think that over the decades, the focus on aerospace & defense has simply snowballed as more employers and workers are attracted to the area.

I think you make an error by implicitly assuming that calories burned (2k/day) are constant even as the weight is being gained (~300lb/30yrs). I believe that the mass being gained does incur some caloric overhead. So if you begin eating 5% more calories than you should, you'll gain weight, but the rate will slow as the number of calories your body requires approaches the number you're consuming. Therefore you could have a stable weight, while still eating 5% more than you "should" be.

All that said, I do hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong!

I agree that there must be something forming there. I can often 'feel' that a joint can be popped, prior to actually doing so, and sometimes, it seems, without even flexing the joint.

Brings to mind images of Conway's Game of Life, with computations moving about a grid of memory as they create and destroy new bits of data.

You may well be right, but I think it's possible that as self driving cars proliferate, insurance rates across the board may drop. It makes sense that rates would be lower for self driving vehicles than human driven, but just as each individual (no matter their vehicle) benefits from a lower incidence of accidents, they might also share the lower cost.

Better a neck jarring autopilot incident than a neck jarring collision!

Seriously, thank you for posting that! I enjoyed his site immensely and will definitely revisit it in the future.

No no no, you're behind the times. Index triple frontrunning is what's hot.

I noticed the same thing. I was able to really boost my score by just drawing over the 'same' circle a bunch of times. Doing that got my score up into the 7-8 million range.

I don't think I've ever been disappointed by any BBC Earth material, but that was surprisingly captivating!
