it's weird listening to stories from Ukrainians right now. I'm not sure if this is essentially sympathetic coverage to prepare citizens for war or if these are just genuinely sympathetic stories worth hearing. I also kind of hate that I can be this jaded.

look at pip bein' all "extra"

certainly some sparks. unfortunately, the plenary is a day long and I have to work :(

I'll try to post the recording when it's posted.

listening to the US Copyright Office "Technical Measures" opening plenary discussion

It's weird zoom's automatic transcription can't consistently distinguish speakers at transitions - it should be able to run separately on each stream and get the attribution right basically 100% of the time... Though maybe there's a problem with the mics capturing output from speakers.

@mathew The plenary session for this is this morning at 9 AM Eastern. You can still register here: https://loc.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_4ZfxIB9ASlqcQkuiK9TP3g

@torresjrjr certainly attention is a thing. I've been mulling over this a bit lately. I tend to think of the brain mainly as a control system for the body. basically a take off of embodied cognition. I haven't worked out what that means for the experience of vision--why it has these colors and shapes. it's not really useful but my answer to myself is something like, "what else would it be like to have these physical interactions with a thing like a brain?"🤷‍♂️

@trinsec maybe, but the question is for gold. say they don't award the gold until the investigation is complete, but award silver and bronze. if they find the rankings change, it means the 2nd and 3rd place get bumped up. Fourth place getting bumped to third would have to wait in either case, so they shouldn't care.
I'd rather that I get my silver now and gold later than not get a medal at all when I expected one.

there's something about seeing where the point at which you consciously register having seen something can follow your actually seeing. like when you're trying to think of a term and you're scanning pages in a book and you suddenly remember the thing you were trying to recall because it's on the page, but you couldn't necessarily say that you saw it on the page or where on the page.

I don't see why the #Olympic womens' figure skating medal ceremony should be delayed for everyone. couldn't they have just not awarded the gold yet, since that's in doubt, then reaward after the case is worked out
