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?


Double jeopardy protection is for criminal charges, not civil.


Apparently double jeopardy doesn't apply in two different states, regardless of the type of charges. Which fits my limited expectations around it - it prevents a single court system from attempting multiple times on the same case... A second US State would have no restrictions against them.

Yeah, but wouldn't it really be a different crime anyway? I mean, state A would charge you for ripping off people in state A, state B would charge you for ripping people off in state B. Two, presumably disjoint, sets of people.


This ruling is only for backers in Washington so that appears to be exactly the case; other states and countries can still file their own lawsuits if motivated to do so.


It would appear this ruling and the accompanying restitution is only for the backers in Washington state. Each state could in theory pursue its own lawsuit for its own residents.


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


Or just put the osascript line in your crontab?


You could do notifications via hammerspoon. It's probably overkill, but you could probably work in a custom active window time monitoring system.
