Signal allows you to set usernames. They are unique but temporary (and you can have only 1 at a time). User names can be used to connect to you without sharing your phone number. Set an optional username in Settings Profile. They have two numbers at the end (you can set them).

User names can be shared in three ways: - tell someone (and then change it so they cannot communicate it further) - share a QR code - share a unique URL (which does not contain your username in clear text)

Signal can't 'easily' see which phone number has which username. But given a username it can find the associated phonenumber. 'easily' means it can be done though, and thus both ways.

An old username will become available to others after a week, meaning imo they should not contain any identifiable or associative information.

Found this through someone suggesting that sharing your Signal username through Mastodon would allow private msgs. Yes, but the world will know your username, so you're open to all people who might think it fun to msg you.

Stefan Rahmstorf erklärt die neue Studie zum Tipping Point der Amoc. Die bisher beste Computersimulation des Strömungssystems bestätigt die Existenz des Kipppunkts. Sie ergibt auch ein Signal für die bevorstehende Auslosung des Kipppunkts. Messungen des Salzgehalts in der Nähe des südlichen Afrikas zeigen, dass das Risiko für die Auslosung deutlich gestiegen ist. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/klimalounge/neue-studie-legt-nahe-dass-die-atlantische-umwaelzzirkulation-amoc-auf-kippkurs-ist/

Eine neue Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass ein Umkippen des nordatlantischen Strömungssystems Amoc in einem anderen Zustand schon sehr bald drohen könnte, wenn sich die globale Erhitzung fortsetzt. Die Studie modelliert auch die Folgen, zum Beispiel sehr schnell steigende Wasserstände an der amerikanischen Ostküste, ein Umkippen des Amazonas-Regenwaldes und wesentlich niedrigere Temperaturen in Europa. Der Studienautor stellt fest, dass wir die Erhitzung sehr viel ernster nehmen müssen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/09/atlantic-ocean-circulation-nearing-devastating-tipping-point-study-finds

contrast

But shows contrast; in this sentence it shows that It shows that effectively raising interest rates cannot reduce inflationary pressures so much,

And shows addition

Rank (social or otherwise) can be a signal for predictability from the perspective of consensus views for how to behave towards others with respect to the abilities or values being measured.

Ranking people for some sort of technical ability may be a better objective measure rather than ranking people on social status which is far less objective from a humanist perspective. In employment situations, individuals are more likely to rely on social and cultural biases and racist tendencies rather than on objective measures with respect to the job at hand. How can we better objectify the actual underlying values over and above the more subjective ones.

They deliberately steered the product away from "one to millions" amplification of content, like for example Telegram's channels.

This sentence uses the word however to add on information to their topic.

Comparing how great he does walking over big dirt mounds and contrasting how he is not great dealing with walking on tall grass.

The purpose for "But" is to show the difference. This sentence means that the sleep can influence eating habits and weight.

it's giving examples of a things that they should to do to extend sleep time.

I agree that cutting back on caffeine, reducing screen time, and sticking to a regular bedtime each night helps a lot in adjusting your sleep that’s less than seven hours.

things that might have done some good lose all their goodness.”198 The overabundance of bad books drowned out even any good bits that might be present among them.

And we now say these same sorts of things about the internet and social media.

it means what distinguishes Copeland’s work is the long consequence of this effect, which extended from childhood into young adulthoo.

trouble and cancer it means that risk of chronic diseases such as heart trouble andante cancer.

also shows that cars and trucks also produce nitrogen oxide which knowns as NOx.

But shows difference, even if the weather warm up the air quality is still getting worse.

For example shows that urban areas without the green spaces will increase dangerous heat to the island moreover planting trees will change the climate change.

It shows that people who work outside may suffer from the illness.

Shows the effect of the pipeline have effected the climate of the environment.

But shows difference that even before the rollback only 1% of the federal projects went through intensive environment.

And is used to show addition. In this is sentence it is used to show that the US cities are not only ranked well-being for the way residents feel about living in their communities, health, finances, social ties it was also because their sense of purpose.

But, contrast. It came here to show that around 1 million people who seek hospital care for pneumonia, on the other hand more people with pneumonia don't need hospitalization.

And it came here for addition. To add the common illness to the doctor's statement that both caused her to cancel her trip.

The purpose is how long should we sleep.

dealing with uncertainties carefully actually matters

how shall we deal with "local" anomalies

The notification center in our phones acts as a hub where messages show up from WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS etc. analogous to how older desktop IM clients unified communication across multiple networks.

The word and always used when mentioning more than one thing.

but shoes that the next sentence is more important than the one before.

(And ) is used in this sentence to tell us that our sleep can influence our eating habits and waistlines.

(Also) is used in this sentence to tell there is more to know; that the chip can be used for more things.

This seems like a reference to the Signal protocol.

Using a colon when the signal phrase is an independent clause.

where's the line though? every output generates a feedback loop with the hivemind, turning into input to ourselves with our cracking, overwhelmed, filters

it's unrealistic to wish everyone to see jokes are jokes, to rely on journalists to generate unbiased facts, and politicians as self serving leeches, err that's my bias speaking

本文的主要贡献如下：

• 提出了 MelNet。一个语谱图的生成模型，它结合了细粒度的自回归模型和多尺度生成过程，能够同时捕获局部和全局的结构。

• 展示了 MelNet 在长程依赖性上卓越的性能。

• 展示了 MelNet 在多种音频生成任务上优秀的能力：无条件语音生成任务、音乐生成任务、文字转语音合成任务。而且在这些任务上，MelNet 都是端到端的实现。

This blog is very good, high signal and low noise. The dense version of this idea that has stuck with me is that the thing we're aiming for (productivity, make-world-better-stuff, doing good) is a multiplicative-product of both hustle (physical work, pressing buttons, saying words that other people hear) and the thinking part. That is, long term goal completion is hustle (doing stuff) * thought (knowing what to do)

I may technically disagree with the "most important thing" part, but it needs some sort of strong emphasis. Hustle modifies ideas in a times-ish (multiplying) way, so if you've got zero hustle, you don't really have anything

One way to do world-bettering is to just have enough hustle to outsource the hustle (get other people to act on your ideas), or alternately if you have tons of hustle, then you can take good ideas which aren't going anywhere.

Knowing the difference between bad and good ideas is one of the core problems with the super-connected society/net we're in. The solution to the problem is too large for this margin.

对傅里叶变换建模~~

What would Siegert have to say about this?

我们通过将自动编码神经网络应用于语音波形来考虑无监督提取有意义的语音潜在表示的任务。目标是学习能够从信号中捕获高级语义内容的表示，例如，音素身份，同时不会混淆信号中的低级细节，例如底层音高轮廓或背景噪音。自动编码器模型的行为取决于应用于潜在表示的约束类型。我们比较了三种变体：简单的降维瓶颈，高斯变分自动编码器（VAE）和离散矢量量化VAE（VQ-VAE）。我们根据说话人的独立性，预测语音内容的能力以及精确重建单个谱图帧的能力来分析学习表征的质量。此外，对于使用VQ-VAE提取的差异编码，我们测量将它们映射到电话的容易程度。我们引入了一种正则化方案，该方案强制表示集中于话语的语音内容，并报告性能与ZeroSpeech 2017无监督声学单元发现任务中的顶级条目相当。 【translated by 谷歌翻译】

【摘要自机器之心】：

论文《Unsupervised speech representation learning using WaveNet autoencoders》介绍了通过将自编码神经网络用到语音波形提取语音中有意义的隐藏表征的无监督任务。目的是学习到一种能够捕捉信号中高层次语义内容的表征，同时又能够对有背景噪声或者潜在基频曲线（underlying pitch contour）的信号中的扰乱信息足够稳定。自编码器模型的行为由应用到隐藏表征的约束所决定。在此论文中，作者对比了三种变体：简单降维瓶颈、高斯变分自编码器和离散向量量化VAE。而后，作者对预测语音内容的能力等进行了分析。
