Warning: loud noises. So I tried out the bestspeech addon for NVDA released by @Tamasg for fun. Unfortunately, if I arrow up and down quickly on a webpage, this is what it frequently does. Sorry for the echo and horrible clipping, I had to shout over the noises, and the setup to record this wasn't ideal. But I haven't heard a computer make these noises in ages!

loool that totally sounds like the pointer fried your memory horribly. And NVDA didn't reboot itself, just reset the speech synth after all that even? I've never heard eloquence samples in the corruption, wow. You can try the -older version of the add-on but since more people saw issues when we weren't using the thread executor to try and avoid race conditions I don't think you'll find it much better. We'll see how badly the 2025.1 version changes things, ironically yeah for BestSpeech the add-on changes might be more minimal, and at least the newer eloq drivers are able to play through Wasapi on Nvwave output devices, so I'm hoping they'll stay good.

So oddly, that only happens on my Intel Microsoft Surface laptop. It's fine on my AMD Framework Laptop. But just pressing the up and down arrows quickly on a webpage on my surface can get that to happen every time, howling squeaking random eloquence samples and all. A sighted person tells me that the "okay" button eloquence tries to read is for a dialogue that says "The instruction at {random numbers} referenced memory at {random numbers}. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program." But if I don't press okay NVDA just fixes itself and comes back.

oooh that's interesting. with this newer thread executor model, I've actually gotten myself to switch back to Eloquence while the loud sounds were happening, and it would continue to play them on that other thread whilst Eloq just happily spoke along. One of the most baffling experiences in this for sure, so at least I'm thinking the newer driver does more to prevent NVDA's main thread from frying and keep it more in the DLL lock.

so to do it, make sure this function is defined as returning these:
```def terminate():
global bgt, player, dll, handle
```
And then add this towards the end:
``` if dll and hasattr(dll, '_handle'):
ctypes.windll.kernel32.FreeLibrary(dll._handle)
dll = None
handle = None
```
(be sure to re-indent as needed) - this should close the dll for you every time you switch synths.
Oh yes, looks like this part of the driver is not in the base driver code, so the file with the underscore before it.

🔗 Connecting dots of long COVID-19 pathogenesis: a vagus nerve- hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal-mitochondrial axis dysfunction frontiersin.org/journals/cellu…

> According to our theory, the direct mitochondrial damage carried out by the virus, which replicates within these organelles, and the cellular oxidative imbalance, cannot be countered in patients who develop LC. This is because their anti-inflammatory mechanisms are inconsistent due to reduced vagal tone and direct damage to the endocrine glands of the HPA axis. We will illustrate how acetylcholine (ACh) and cortisol, with its cytoplasmatic and cellular receptors respectively, are fundamental players in the LC process. Both Ach and cortisol play multifaceted and synergistic roles in reducing inflammation. They achieve this by modulating the activity of innate and cell-mediated immunity, attenuating endothelial and platelet activation, and modulating mitochondrial function, which is crucial for cellular energy production and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In our opinion, it is essential to study the sensitivity of the glucocorticoids receptor in people who develop LC and whether SARS-CoV-2 can cause long-term epigenetic variations in its expression and function.

So, apparently this Claw Machine appeared in my brother's office overnight. I don't know why, but it just looks dystopian, like an episode of Black Mirror. He asked about it, and they told him it was put there to boost morale over the holidays. One might think it would be free to play then, right? Oh no, you have to do extra work to earn tokens or pay. Nothing like Upper Management to both demoralize and insult everyone with their Morale Boosting plan.

JUST.
GIVE.
PEOPLE.
MORE.
MONEY.

A big ole Claw Machine with purple and pink neon lights, very brightly lit on the otherwise beige and brown office space. It looks very out of place.

Happy Birthday to Sister Mary Kenneth Keller (Dec 17, 1913 – Jan 10, 1985), the first PhD in computer science in the US.

In 1958, Keller began working at the NSF workshop in the computer science center at Dartmouth College, a male-only institution at the time, where she participated in the implementation of the first DTSS BASIC Kernel for the language, working under John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.

Never Forgive Them

In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…

"How are we not discussing the fact that so much of the internet is riddled with poison? How are we not treating the current state of the tech industry like an industrial chemical accident? Is it because there are too many people at fault? Is it because fixing it would require us to truly interrogate the fabric of a capitalist death cult?"
