The voice sounds nice, but successful runs aren't that interesting. If it gets a question it doesn't understand, what does it do, and how does it report it back to the user?

It seems like the user is likely to get a certain number of confused recording sent back to them when it fails, and then get stuck manually calling back and explaining what happened.

Btw, this was after-the-fact testing. We had a list of about 800 or so unique UUIDS (there was no pattern anywhere between the UUIDS), where the UUIDs were present in some portion of the string for the filenames in working dir.

Example UUID in the list:

fd306bdfb115f1284655da6b06f826eb

There were thousands of other files in the directory that did not have any part/string of the filenames that matched the list. And using the echo $data technique found the matching files.

Is this still accidentally/happenstance matching here?

But really, a conversation like the one you're looking for would be just as out-of-place in California as the one you saw in the article would be in England. It's important to match regional customs if you're trying to emulate and interact with humans.
There are already apps/technologies that transmit information through audio at frequencies not audible to humans.

The article talks a lot about PTSD but mindfulness meditation was not designed for that so it's maybe not surprising it doesn't fix it. Funnily enough they recently seem to have found a fix with MDMA https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/mdma-ecstasy-mdma-...

Mindfulness, according to Wikipedia:

>In Buddhist teachings, mindfulness is utilized to develop self-knowledge and wisdom that gradually lead to what is described as enlightenment

(by the way there were recent discussions of meditation, more of the get thing done variety, by the Sapiens guy here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13905249 and a link to Seinfeld on Meditation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13909346 which I'm having a look at)
Apparently this was already patched in the previous macOS security update, but Apple updated the documentation for it with additional references to this bug only just today. I've seen them do these documentation updates a few times now, is that a recent thing? Isn't it kind-of breaking embargoes if a binary security update goes out weeks before the vulnerability is documented in public? Not sure if it's a good or bad thing... happy to be already protected, but concerned about installing updates which aren't fully documented on release and which might let bad guys discover issues early?
I was reading an article on very old pyramids they found in Peru a few days ago. There is a pit at the top, they think for burnt offerings.

Why was everyone doing burnt offerings? The Old Testament mentions them and ancient peoples in many geographically isolated parts of the world were doing them.

It's really weird, there must be something in the human psyche that resonates with the idea of burnt offerings. Or maybe burning offerings produced effects from the gods, but I'm guessing it didn't do anything but be a ceremony or totem. It's still weird and has me puzzled but I'm pretty sure objectively it wasn't all that great of an idea and certainly don't think we should take up doing burnt offerings now even though it was pretty common practice in ancient times.

To counter the argument of opening data to the outside world, LinkedOpenData has been studied inside companies. I.e opening only inside the walled garden. And guess what? It failed. Simply because companies are not organized so data can "travel" flawlessly. Companies are organized as silos. With boundaries & (implicit) contracts between people, teams, hierarchies.

I had a long overdue positive interaction today. I think we've both realized that if we don't work together on this we're finished. So that's a good start.

I'm going to take your advice about doing something that's not work and then try to have a conversation later. I have noticed that in the past he can totally reject an idea but then accept it a few days later.

I have also had more success previously with presenting a course of action as me attempting to support him or his goals. My ego gets in the way of doing that too often though. It's been tough.

I think I may also have some internal insecurity in regards to him trying to hog the limelight whenever possible. I like to think that I'm above feeling that but I do often have to check myself to make sure I'm doing things for the right reason and not as some kind of passive aggressive retaliation.

I'm curious about this as well.

I was toying with the idea of setting up my docker cli in crouton to connect to a docker daemon I host via a VPS (cheap Lightsail box maybe). I think this will work fine.. it's just the docker daemon that won't run because the ChromeOS kernel locks it out of features it needs. Then I could do local dev but any docker calls would run remotely.

But I'm sure that will have its quirks.. if I could run lightweight containers (node, redis, etc) directly on my Chromebook then I'd prefer that.
I realized this the other day in the shower: media outlets basically argue with themselves to create their own hype cycles.

First it’s a fringe crazy idea, then it’s the new hotness, then it should be a part of your daily life, then someone decides they’re edgy and it’s not for them, then it’s basically cancer, then a story of how it grew too fast and has collapsed.

And the funny thing is, it’s almost a negative signal of what’s valuable. By the time The Guardian or CNN is talking about bitcoin, you have no chance of making a dime.

>I fear that in the not-too-distant future web pages will simply be blobs of WebAssembly which paint UIs within a browser,

Some will, probably, but there's no reason all web pages will go that way. "App" type sites almost certainly, maybe streaming services, but the benefit just isn't worth the cost for most sites.

It didn't happen with Java, it didn't happen with Flash, it didn't happen with Silverlight, it didn't even happen with javascript even though it's possible to publish an entire web UI as an obfuscated "javascript blob" that writes on a canvas. It hasn't happened now that most people surf the web on walled garden Android phones, arguably the antithesis of a "general purpose computer" and closer to the "TV terminal" you described. Why is Webassembly the straw that will break the web's back?

If almost no one actually wants to build the dystopian scenario you're afraid of, and doing so would probably be impossible, why be afraid of it?

I think it depends entirely on the narrative structure in which the fictional violence is portrayed. I'm talking about when it is glamorized, done by the hero, frivolously, randomly, without consequence, gratuitously, used as a depiction of power, etc. People who feel lacking in power in life might resort to violence as a means of feeling a sense of significance, if they have no other viable means of purpose.

Nonprofits are not a magical entities. I have found most very self-serving. Self-serving the founders whims, and "pockets".

Hell even the great Melinda & Bill Gates Foundation give so little back to the womb (America) that cultured/encouraged his money making career. It's almost like the wealthy hate their family?

We saw how Bush's Thousand Points of Light went. Humans are selfish. And the lack of spirituality is just making them more so.

2. At this point, I'm just seeing so many jobs being lost to people who don't expect much (yes--there are people who don't think much about putting six people in a 10 x 12 room), and jobs lost to technology.

3. I only see two ways out, and most of you won't like it.

A. Tax the wealthy more.

During and after WW2 we were taxing Them at 90%, and they didn't complain. It takes the fear of death to lessen the drip on their wad?

B. Tie all Fees/fines to income.

We're all in this mess together.

I don't see a rosy future. I just see more homeless.

The wealthy realized they don't need their family (America). They have the world to sell, and exploit to.

I got off track, but don't see nonprofits curing our problems.

>Although price fluctuates, it's more stable than that of bitcoin, thus better suited as store of value.

Price fluctuations are not what you care about with a store of value. What you care about is the elasticity of supply with respect to price. If the market price of gold increases, the production of it will increase (though to a lesser degree of other commodities). Bitcoin's supply curve is programmed with time as the only input. This means that no matter the change in price, supply cannot increase. This is a coup de grâce against every other existing store of value.

>4) Has applications for industrial uses or for jewelry, guaranteeing that your gold retains at least a base value. Same cannot be said of prime number data structures.

You don't want a store of value to have a myriad of other uses because those uses influence the price of the store of value. Say that 'Beautanium' becomes a more popular substance use for jewelry. Now Gold loses value. The only metric you care about in a store of value is the change in supply vs the available supply. This is Bitcoin's killer app, This is why it has value.

> Most people working in hair salons or restaurants are very busy with customers and don’t want to handle these calls, so I think the reverse of this duplex system, a more natural voice booking system for small businesses would help the immensely free up their workers to focus on customers.

I think this perspective is very short sighted. You will lose customers to automation, but businesses wont turn away customers because of automation.

Customers and prospects don't want to interact with machines, but businesses should be willing to give customers what they want.

The idea that a tool can be rolled out to millions of consumers, even with limited use cases and not have to get adoption from businesses to be useful is IMHO a much bigger opportunity and much better use case than rolling out a tool to businesses that make the interaction less personal.

Customers need to trust businesses, business only need to collect money from customers.

I think everyone who focuses on chatbots from the business use case perspective is missing the bigger opportunity.

A technology that can give a consumer access to ALL businesses, not just the ones who adopt a new technology offers much more utility than serving businesses or the shortsighted use cases like saving time and money for the business.

The aspect of this which feels tone-deaf is that Google recognizes that too much technology is a real problem, and their proposed solution is ... more technology. It feels like they've created a disease, and also the medicine for it.

YouTube has a "time to take a break?" feature now, but autoplay is still on by default. Android has fancy voice recognition so you can say "Turn on do not disturb mode", but "disturb me mode" is still the default. We wouldn't need these bandaids if the technology wasn't designed from the start to be addictive and distracting.

I don't think these statements are as absolute as you take them. I'm also not sure where you go if "almost certainly did(n't)" is no longer sufficient. At that point you basically have to give up on saying anything about anything.

Science doesn't (intentionally) forget about unlikely alternatives. That doesn't mean there is any good reason to treat highly unlikely scenarios as the equals of the vastly more likely cases.

And arguing anything about chances based on things that have already happened is kind of bullshit. They already happened, however unlikely. We know unlikely things can and do happen occasionally. That does not mean other unlikely things are more likely to happen.

And if you really insist on doing that, keep in mind the timespans here also differ by orders of magnitude.
