I just tried this out and it's very nice and easy to use. Thank you for sharing! I ended up copy-pasting the output from the messages page, which is 99% of the way to exporting a .txt file and my personal use case. Great work.


Thanks for the feedback! Maybe I should add a "download as .txt".

What do you typically do with the text on export? E.g. Do you parse the times?


In my videography work I often do a separate audio-only interview to use as voice-over for the final video. I like to print out a transcript, mark the highlights, then go to the sound file and extract the snippets I liked. Extracting the snippets is a lot easier when I have timestamps printed out inline with the text at intervals of one or two minutes. In the case of bigWav, there were timestamps marked at only three or four points, so I had to go back and manually enter ten more marks to orient myself on the page. In addition, I used ChatGPT on an answer-by-answer basis to clean up the copy and add in punctuation for ease of reading. So there was an hour or two of data sanitizing needed to get everything ready to print out and use efficiently.


Two features that may help in bigwav:

1) You can add more timestamps by adding paragraphs with enter.

2) You can playback at any word by highlighting it and pressing space. You can also cut with right click on the wav ui.


It's in the title - nothing special happens in this year. It is just another year in the late Ming dynasty, still a long way off from its eventual demise. But the author uses this moment as a springboard to describe what the principals did in the past and what they would end up doing in the future.


The release mentions that MIRI captures on a wavelength which includes both starlight and interstellar clouds, which admittedly looks awesome when put together!


I completely agree about using pen and paper for learning and organizing my life. I have a weekly wall planner made of sticky notes and it’s so much more fulfilling than poking around a calendar app to see my week outlined in a two square foot section of my office wall. But for those of us who are curious about your process, could you please tell us what the Z word is and link to your recommended resource?


Im not the GP, but I'd guess Z stands for Zettelkasten, at least that's the only famous system I'm aware of in that space. You can read more about it ihere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten


Correct!

But I don’t recommend you read the Wikipedia entry.

Read this instead:

What a cool idea! Now, how about somethimg where only content can be shared if it's only 500+ years old?


Idea: create another Lemmy instance focused on 500+ year old content and federate it with mine! Then you'd get the best of both worlds ;)


Not exactly what you're looking for but maybe a subreddit is the answer?

Another benefit that comes to mind is having experienced stakeholders guiding a newer organization through growing pains in good faith.


They didn't call it the peripatetic school for nothing. There are also cases of patients with speech aphasia who can speak while walking, but can't while at rest; it turns out that brain structures for speech and locomotion are interrelated.


Did those patients every try sprinting? Breakthroughs await.


I wonder if Firefox partnering with Duck Duck Go instead would be feasible, or even a net positive for users and developers. I'll admit to partly liking this idea just for the Game of Thrones spiteful backstab energy.


Palemoon does this. But I don’t think they can afford to pay nearly as much: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24840474


It would bankrupt either Firefox or DDG


An obvious example would be intellectual cross-pollination. This project is likely to get a lot of exposure in the Game of Life community as well as the Computer Science community, increasing the chances that members of either community feel compelled to cross over and contribute in an area that may have previously seemed uninteresting/unpromising/unknown.


While that's true for posts like this in general, in this specific case those communities are the same. Conway's Game of Life is a computer science curio.


Not being willfully obtuse, but there's a lot more than a KB of code on that YouTube page. To me it feels like the difference between watching a movie on 35mm vs DVD.


I expected the comment to go on about how much code in the support libraries is needed to support this. It's not a 512 byte boot sector intro, far from it.
