Re:A common measure of communication for thought-to-text brain-compute...

Author here. Speech BCI systems are increasingly difficult to compare because they use different vocabularies, datasets, recording modalities, and metrics. We introduce a way to evaluate how much lexical information a system conveys relative to an explicit distribution over what a user may want to communicate. Happy to answer questions about the metric, the cross-study comparison, or the assumptions behind it.

For your non-admissible heuristic demo, it might also be interesting to look at squaring the euclidian distance and the affect of biasing the algorithm in this way.

Re:Flutter for Linux

Having used Flutter extensively since I was first introduced to it 9 months ago, I can say that it is an absolute joy to use and build interfaces with. An easier way to install the Flutter SDK on linux is only good news and I hope it gets more developers to adopt it.

It does also help hugely to be writing in popular languages and frameworks. Naturally, the more popular languages and frameworks will have the most potential interested users.
Re:France: Employee who suffered “boredom at work” awarded €40k damages

"the Paris Court of Appeal ruled that ‘bore out’ was indeed a form of moral harassment."
That's... interesting to say the least. On the other hand, such a ruling might encourage companies to adopt more flexible hours for employees to only do work when needed. I imagine it would have more of an impact in office jobs where a lot of work can just be done remotely from home. That said, you'd have thought this employee would've been let go early on if they didn't really need him.

Re:Show HN: ImSter – Hide encrypted messages inside pictures

This is a tool I built over the last few days to support the idea of having encrypted data in an 'untraceable' medium. In other words, the idea is that no-one should know that any secret data exists in the first place!
If you have any questions or comments, I'm here to answer.

I actually created a cracking tool for this cipher that uses local search algorithms to analyse and break it without a known key. It also supports several other classical ciphers.
