reminds me of this screenshot I took when Google had their own neural-net-recognizing-drawings: https://imgur.com/a/PqLpTJy

There is also https://text.npr.org/ , which was discussed here about a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15342758

I thought there was a comment in there listing some other news sites that did this (besides CNN), but I skimmed and I can't find it now so I'm probably misremembering.

It's not quite on-topic, but I was a little surprised that the article didn't mention that Christopher Lee recorded two metal albums about King Charlemagne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne:_By_the_Sword_and_... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne:_The_Omens_of_Deat... . He has a great voice for narrating a metal album, even though he recorded them when he was 80-something years old.

I usually use iTerm2, but I tried to switch to Terminal the other day because I noticed how much more responsive it is. There were a couple small things that kept me with iTerm2:

- Both let you set the cursor color, but Terminal doesn't let you set the cursor text color, which is a small annoyance.

- Terminal's full-screen goes into a separate desktop, but iTerm2 lets you disable Lion-style full-screen - another small annoyance.

- The only real deal-breaker for me was that I couldn't get Ctrl-/ working for Terminal (it's what I use for "undo" in emacs and readline).

Even with these things, I tried for a while to get Terminal set up - the faster refresh rate makes it look _really_ smooth compared to iTerm2.

I also hate the grey-on-grey, so I made a chrome extension to change it to black-on-white: https://github.com/bentrevor/emblacken. I found a gist with the js and de-obfuscated about half of it. It works on almost all sites.

Chrome lets you set keyboard shortcuts to run extensions, so I press it once to change to black text, and again to use a white background.

A DIY kit would be great - I would pay for just the parts and instructions.

Does double jeopardy apply here? As in, can another state sue for the same thing?

You can use `osascript` to show a popup. Depending on which shell you're using, it would look something like this:

    for i in {1..4}; do
      sleep $(expr 60 \* 30)
      osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "Are you wasting time?"'
    done

I was in San Fransisco this past January, and I was actually stopped by an officer for crossing when the hand was blinking, even though I made it to the other side in time. I think it was a matter of the officer not having anything better to do, since it was 8 in the morning. I didn't get a ticket because I answered his questions politely, but I'm sure if I was still in high school, I would have been a smart-ass about it.

For a second, I was disappointed that chessgames.com didn't have any of the TCEC games to step through. But the article links to the TCEC site, and it has its own interface with much more information about what the engines are "thinking": http://tcec.chessdom.com/archive.php

When I saw this article, I thought "I bet burntsushi wrote it". I've been learning a lot from reading your Go code lately.
