>have someone break out a camera and record our meeting

I've worked with a team who did just that, they held the vast majority of their meetings in-person (1 or 2 short meetings a day) but needed other stakeholders to keep up with their work and decisions, so they had some AI listen, keep track and send summaries and minutes.

They liked it, but I'm not sure it was more efficient than having someone send half a page of meeting summary manually.


Your profile is very clear.


Very, very, very clear. Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous ROI.


You can easily store 10 years worth of uranium, unlike gas and oil.


In France after Fukushima nuclear plants that are 500 km inland had to be safeguarded against the risk of a tsunami.


They are in valleys and I think the risk assessment was heavily influenced by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard which has been toned down quite a bit since... But IRSN (now ASNR) studies all kind of risks seriously...


It makes me laugh every time that the Nazis' Glorious Germanic Heritage of the Aryan Masterrace Ancestors Fraktur script turned out to have been created by Jewish printers and they went "Nevermind, forget it" then choose Antiqua, which, to be frank, is not the most adapted typeface for small printed folio books and papers of the time (and still isn't today).

I didin't know that Hitler personnally disliked Fraktur, must have helped.

Fraktur needs some eye adaptation to read it fluently because we are not used to some ligatures anymore and the typographic conventions can be different in the late 18th / early 19th century (for instance the Grimm brothers advocated against the captitalization of German common names), but I find it quite legible.

This is an interesting argument for every terminal emulator to implement the Fraktur ANSI escape sequence (which I don’t remember what it is).
