  • Phoenix Emerges as a Modern X Server Written From Scratch in Zig

    Jump

  • I think this is important to highlight:

    Wayland compatibility is part of the long-term plan. The developers say Phoenix might eventually support Wayland clients directly or use bridging tools to run Wayland-only apps in an X11 environment. Running Phoenix nested under Wayland, as an alternative to Xwayland, is also being considered.

  • Ahhh, ok. Thank you, my fault for not reading carefully.

  • Human thought crawls at 10 bits per second, Caltech study finds

    Jump

  • I was responding to "Look at an image for a second. Can you only remember 10 things about it?" I didn't think that was a fair characterization. I see you probably specifically meant 10 yes/no questions about an image, but I don't think yes/no questions are a fair proxy for "things".

    In any case you can read the preprint here https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.10234v2 and they make it immediately clear that 10 bits/s is an order-of-magnitude estimate, and also specifically list (for example) object recognition at 30-50 bits/s.

  • 10 bits means 2^(10) = 1024 different things can be encoded.

  • I believe you, I had just never heard it was "wrong" and it's never stood out to me.

  • Yeah, I'll agree, without any pauses it's less natural and it's more of a "buying time to think" thing.

  • I really don't see why you would think this.

    Sooooo, Carl, on Thursday, said that...

    Completely normal thing I would expect to hear.

  • Idk if you're a native speaker or not, but as a native speaker of American English there is absolutely nothing wrong with this to me. You could put it in about 4 different places:

    On Thursday the press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced ____.

    The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced ____.

    The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday that ____.

    The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced ____ on Thursday.

    The first one typically has a comma after "Thursday". The second one you could offset "on Thursday" with commas. The third one is at best really awkward without a "that" or a question word (who, what, where, why, how) and you could offset "on Thursday" with commas; you can also drop the "on", in which case you can't use commas. The last one is possible but could be ambiguous (it could be that "on Thursday" is part of their announcement).

  • Trump hurls a string of insults at Harris including ‘lazy,’ a racist trope against Black people

    Jump

  • Just want to clarify for others like me who might initially have a negative reaction to this claim: this is referring specifically to a phrase like "I have the itis" (which personally I have never heard). The suffix -itis, of course, does not come from this and is much older.

  • Democrats See 103 Percent Increase in Pennsylvania Voters Leaving the Party

    Jump

  • 103% increase. The number of people leaving increased by a factor of 1+1.03 = 2.03. Which is to say, the number of people leaving more than doubled, which would have been a better title, but either way there is nothing wrong with math in the title per se.
