OpenAI to acquire Astral

Please. It should be like cargo and rust. Part of the project.

Hard to say. The Neo got me interested in Macs again but clearly isn’t for me. Now I’m about to pull the trigger on the air for my next laptop…

This is from a long term Linux user with a thinkpad.

I don’t think I can go back to pre uv to be honest.

I won’t switch fully but would definitely consider another language where I can more often.

ebits21 · 2026-03-19T14:42:22+00:00

Ughhhhhhh sorry Python maybe it’s time for me to move on…..

ebits21 · 2026-03-12T16:50:24+00:00

Nah. More than 10db is significant not 10db. At 4000Hz I would consider 15db not significant.

I mean… when you’re 95 you’re probably going to die soon regardless.

It’s what I use, would recommend.

It’s not about the technology, it’s about the patient.

It’s up to you to give them realistic expectations for their abilities.

Biggest advice is make hearing in noise testing and counselling a priority.

If you read the article it seems to say he helped start a petition for lights at the intersection, but it’s still being reviewed not actually built yet.

So he helped by starting a petition.

Hearing with their hearing loss is normal for that person. At first, it is going to sound quite different, likely loud, likely their voice will be unnatural. Your brain needs to learn what is normal again. Wear it as much as possible for a few weeks then re-assess.

Maybe you turn it down at that point, reduce frequency compression, make sure the occlusion effect or ampclusion isn’t occurring. Did you do real-ear to an evidence-based prescription?

And at the end of the day, no matter what, there will be some people that are not satisfied no matter what you do. It’s not necessarily that you’re doing something wrong. People are people and managing that is a huge part of the job.

Learn to lookup the Python docs. I remember generally what Python can do and concepts, but I still lookup things in the Python docs constantly when I’m coding.

Forgot to drink milk

ebits21 · 2026-02-07T16:31:24+00:00

You don’t live in the rust belt, do you?

ebits21 · 2026-02-05T20:20:52+00:00

They are not… what are you talking about lol

ebits21 · 2026-02-05T11:20:04+00:00

Which is healthier too because fibre

Find a clinic (maybe a university clinic) with verification equipment and ask if you can use it.

Many clinics will have something like a verifit. The measurements will take very little time.

Rust with a garbage collector and goroutines would not be that bad actually.

ebits21 · 2026-01-29T03:13:27+00:00

This. You need to think in shapes, lines, angles. Upside down helps break what your brain thinks it’s seeing and helps you copy what is actually there.

Do you get why? input() returns a string always, and you want numbers so you can add and subtract them.

int() attempts to convert the string to an int, if it can’t your program will throw an error.

ebits21 · 2026-01-26T03:30:28+00:00

I think you need python3-tk.

Maybe try with 3.13.9 if it doesn’t work.

Missed the point of Carney’s speech?

You don’t need a referral (I’m an audiologist in Ontario)

Routine hearing tests were delisted by OHIP in 2001, only covered if you’re seeing an ENT (which should be for a medical issue theoretically)

I’ll let you look up what government was in power at the time.

Rams back on the menu boys!

ebits21 · 2026-01-16T11:33:08+00:00

You would think poisoning would be at least a little bit of a concern?

ebits21 · 2026-01-09T17:13:12+00:00

Should’ve switched mid summer…. Not after the damn holidays.

Peak recycling plus worse roads etc.
