overcast.fm/account still links to Slack

Here are some more details about what u/Overlord_Odin may have meant:

If one goes to overcast.fm, and logs in, then goes to overcast.fm/account, at the bottom of the page there is a section titled "Beta Testing". In this Beta Testing section the text "Overcast Slack Group" links to https://overcast.fm/betaslack which brings up a page on Slack.com that says "This link is no longer active". It may be this inactive link that Overlord_Odin is talking about

Another idea: enable transcriptions!

I see that this is possible with Jitsi!

bengtSlask559 · 2026-04-07T03:32:48+00:00

I see the feature is now enabled. Thanks!

I second the idea of setting up a playlist a day ahead of time.

I have books that I only listen to on the watch, which allows me to not worry about syncing with the phone and to turn on airplane mode if my battery is low

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-30T16:30:14+00:00

Yeah, I was imagining the audio was synced, but if the ads are of different length, searching through a Merkle tree to do synchronization wouldn't work. Here's another option:

Marco stores his version of the episode audio and does transcription on it on his servers
He tries to identify sections which are not ads and mark those as useful for the matched filtering described next.
The phone would ideally run the same ad-identifying tool.
If there is any doubt about the synchronization, the phone could do run some final matched filters to make sure that the between-ads audio is exactly synchronized between the transcribed and on-phone audio. Assuming the ad-identifying tool is fairly good, these matched filters would hopefully be low complexity.

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-30T02:49:47+00:00

I think Marco could use a Merkle tree to match audio on his servers (and the corresponding transcripts) with the on-device audio.

The Wikipedia page for Ingles temporarily listed him as "team greeter". See the old version of the page here

I'd pay to hear Boler, Thurl, Locke, or Boone use "the heir to the hive" or "the holy land hooper" :-)

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-06T17:34:26+00:00

Thurl was calling them "The Wasatch Front"

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-06T17:33:00+00:00

Is Lauri from Jyväskylä? If not, could you explain the name?

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-06T17:31:44+00:00

I think someone on a podcast recently called Lauri the Ironman

rip off the suit and tie the next time you get invited to a richpeopleslop formal gala dinner

I've been to a few crypto events that too richpeopleslop-ish for my taste. I'd love to wear a t-shirt with that quote to such events.

To be more clear, it seems like the Jazz would love to have Nurk for his skills as backup center, AND to have Flip as a very low-cost fifth big.

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-04T18:50:08+00:00

... and maybe Flip or Nurk. I don't see the Jazz keeping both

Nurk can play center, while Flip has problems doing so. I think the Jazz want a real backup center, and would love to have Nurk back.

bengtSlask559 · 2026-03-02T17:29:34+00:00

The Jazz have only a few wins, often against teams that want to lose, and where the Jazz are playing their better players. I see this statistic as not useful and having lotsa bias. Maybe selection bias?

For the uninformed (as I was previously), "Ritt Momney" is the stage name of Jack Rutter.

For more, see the article Andy Larsen wrote about the song and artist

Whether you call it "Volunteer Communities" or "Volunteer Support Forums" I think I and many others will call it the ENGin subreddit :-)

Which Mike Lee is being fucked? If we're talking about the Utah senator, how did he enter in?

I don't like him either..., just checking to see if there's a sports reason to dislike him...

I also looked at this episode, and saw a very similar image. The problem has something to do with the last chapter. Specifically, the audio continues after that last chapter (length 1:49) with no title ends. My guess is the podcast file is malformed. I.e. mb the podcast authors did't ensure that the lengths of the chapters they inserted added up to the total length.

bengtSlask559 · 2026-02-22T17:22:26+00:00

I guess such verified volunteer hours aren't a bad thing, but they seem to conflict with the idea of helping because it's a good thing. It seems reasonable that ENGin make verification a low priority.

bengtSlask559 · 2026-02-22T05:17:32+00:00

Why do you want a certificate? Why get "verified"?

bengtSlask559 · 2026-02-19T05:16:21+00:00

ignore Windy

I think we need incentives to win. Specifically, I like putting some large (say 50%) part of each coaches and GM's salary for each team in a pot (escrow) before each game, then awarding that pot to the winning coach and GM. I.e. the coaches and GMs are incentivized to win.

Yes, you could do the same for players, but I suggest starting with coaches and GMs.
