"Habillage" (literally "dressing") in this context relates to packaging of a concept/proposition i.e. the marketing around it (or "spin"). The french word for "packaging" in the physical sense would be "emballage" (literally "wrapping"). Some would use "empaquetage" but that is less common.

So "electronics packaging" would translate to "emballage/empaquetage de composants électroniques".


Are you sure about this?

I know linguee.fr has been criticised, but check out these two analogous pages found via a search for "electronics packaging" there:

https://schroff.nvent.com/en/schroff/about-us

"The brand Schroff, which belongs to the business unit of nVent Technical Solutions, has been a world leader in electronics packaging for over five decades."

https://schroff.nvent.com/fr/schroff/about-us

"La marque Schroff, qui appartient à l’entité légale nVent, est leader mondial dans le domaine de l’habillage électronique depuis plus de cinquante ans."

This makes it look extremely like habillage doesn't just mean what you claim it does "in this context."

Emballage was indeed my initial guess for the appropriate French word, but I, you know, did some research before jumping to a conclusion?


> but that's a question of statistical mechanics, not one of pressure differences.

My limited understanding was that 'pressure' is just a simplified way of speaking about statistical mechanics.


IIRC, Chomsky's theory on this is that human language is first internal and is the basis for all human thought. He doesn't mean an internal 'voice', but some primordial, grammatical imperative to producing thought in a certain way. This resulted in all of the world's spoken languages and would explain rapid language learning rates in newborns.


> processing power is rarely a major limiting factor.

Autonomy is. I could see compute clouds like this being offered at the OS level rather than browser, along with a claim for multiple days charge cycles, or slashed device weight/thickness. However, it would likely only work well for common and predictable computing tasks. And it would further separate users from hardware.


At the end of the day, our only defense against deepfakes is going to be to disregard the supposed identity of the speaker and only judge the content itself. Easier said than done.


This is because in the real world audio always arrives late compared to images. Our brain is trained to compensate.

Personally I start getting annoyed when the delay is above +200ms or under -50ms.


I feel like this is another example of something which can only be enforced by creating a new framework that inevitably benefits the few corrupt actors and defeats its own purpose.


I frequently use the dash inside a word so that for example a search for sub-optimal returns results including "sub-optimal", "suboptimal" and "sub optimal".


But can you say Microsoft will not use private GitHub data to sell or run targetted ads outside of GitHub?


> A tool should make me more efficient, hence, for the same task, make me use it less!

It makes sense when you consider Android phones as a set of tools used by advertisers to reach consumers. The more eyeballs the more efficient the tool becomes.


It shows in both app stores on either platform. The play store gives me lots of suggestions on apps to download based on activity, and the iOS store has these write ups to promote apps. Both get them money.

Does Android have something like Siri suggestions with P? Because that seems intended to do the exact opposite of what you’re saying. It is the feature that suggests your notes app if you often use your notes app in the grocery store location. It would be a good use for Android instead of the constant asking to review the store.


It does have a suggested apps section at the top of the apps list. It's supposedly time / location aware, but I haven't dug into how effective that is (I tend to use 3-4 apps almost exclusively on my phone, so that's all I tend to ever get suggested).
