#4 Email you pay for, not with

Fastmail has been a thing forever. I recently started paying for it again and am quite happy with it.

Also "Silicon Valley"

No, just more underground construction

Came here to say this. A stable ABI will mean that libraries can make a single free-threaded build that'll last at least a couple of Python versions into the future.

Maybe this?

Looked into this a while back. WhatsApp MCP servers attach as a second device to WhatsApp and pull down your message history.

Most of the ones I've seen on github do not store the messages encrypted locally.

When evaluating these tools, check to see what they store unencrypted on disk. A quick search shows that only one seems to check the boxes:

However I haven't tested it. And it does phone home, you may want to disable that before running it.

quick fix on my chrome: select all to fix the contrast.

Click, clack, Emdash.

Way to bury the lede..

Is it faster to start by doubling?

the kind of changes that were required to avoid massive famines also rely on chemical fertilizer. aaand.... "the production of chemical fertilizers, particularly synthetic nitrogen-based ones, is a highly energy-intensive process that creates significant amounts of carbon dioxide"

thoughts on worm safety w.r.t. `exclude-newer`, and the right way to handle unpinned git repo deps?

if you took an engineering course that covered fourier transform, z transform, or laplace transform, then you have seen an introduction to harmonic analysis on the circle and the real number line.

typically when I see mentions of harmonic analysis together with differential geometry I start thinking of fourier transform on more fancy shapes (on the sphere, for example, the replacements for complex exponentials are called spherical harmonics)

my PhD was EE in signal processing and I took some extra math classes at the graduate level, and continue to read some of this for fun and profit.

I still cant understand most of the terminology in the fields medal citations. that probably requires a more thorough couple of years of graduate education in mathematics.

math is by far the furthest of the sciences in terms of depth of human discovery.

if the goal is simply money, the cs masters is probably still the better long-term bet.

One link deeper is the actual content; can we link there instead?

That's not really Noam's style

does anyone have a proper comparison of binary control systems like lore, xet, etc? i'd love to see how it handles mixed case workloads.

Yup. Uses browser automation to download originals (well, whatever storage setting you used)

A tool for backing up Google photos more incrementally than Google takeout:

A version of the IFTTT linter that I missed after leaving Google:

They also keep their own inboxes; emails downloaded to or sent from the old version are not visible on the new version.

I forgot how to count that low...
