I think CalDAV (which uses the iCalendar format) may be the closest thing. It covers calendar items, obviously, but also task and journal items.

It sure feels like we're at the peak of the Gartner hype cycle. If so, the bubble will pop, and we'll end up with AI used where it actually works, not shoved into everything. In the long run, that pop could be a small blip in overall development, like the dot-com bust was to the growth of the internet, but it's difficult to predict that while still in the middle of the hype cycle.

The original blog post (linked in the article) refers to this as a DynaRec, i.e. a dynamic recompiler. So it's not exactly emulating, but nor is it the ahead-of-time recompilation that Rosetta 2 can do.

Days before the 2016 election, 538 (which Nate Silver founded and was leading at the time) ran an article titled "Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton". Nate Silver and 538 did some of the best forecasting of that election. Don't conflate him with others' screwups.

You're correct. You'll notice every president in recent history has multiple assassination attempts listed. The bulk of them don't go very far.

Technologically, I2P handles large data transfers much more efficiently than TOR. That makes I2P useful for torrenting large files like Linux ISOs.

Why not? Toddlers do things like point out clocks all the time. The "passive agressive" part is the parent's interpretation. The actual action that is described is so very normal.

And yeah, it did used to be a lot more common. And before that, it was a medical term.

It's the euphemism treadmill in action.
