If anyone is wondering, Schubert and Liszt didn't collaborate IRL on these. Schubert wrote the pieces, died, and then Liszt transcribed them for solo piano after they had posthumously been found in Schubert's belongings.
This Zen parable is faulty wisdom (like so much of Mahayana and Vajrayana fanfiction). The title the Buddha used to refer to himself, Tathagata, can simultaneously be translated as, "Thus Comes One" and "Thus Goes One". It's not about a path where there is no coming and going, it's about both simultaneously.
I thought that people like Macron have staff that could fact check whatever he's going to share. It's not that it changes the message, but mistakes like this could be used by someone to undermine his claim.
Sometimes i think people here really forget something like 200£/year ($324 here) really does make it inaccessible to some people.

The whole thing seems like a tempest in a teapot given the relatively poor quality of speech to text. Text to speech is actually useful - but that has been around for years and publishers are not complaining.

What relationship exists between The Matrix and Baudrillard's philosophy? (2016)
Referencing works fine in phonemic-orthography languages: unambiguous spellings are picked after a time by convention combined with fitness for the target language. See the example of ‘Watson’ here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20799966

Curiously, your argument unabashedly presumes independence, if not primacy, of written language from oral. That wasn't ever the case at least in continental European languages—afaik spelling did matter in development of only a few words, contrary to some of modern folk etymological intuition. But this may change now that writing is much more prevalent in people's lives, with the English web getting ubiquitous, and English finally becoming completely logographic. If Mandarin doesn't wipe it all out sooner, anyway.

Typically not, the installations are typically more safe, plugs are safer, and every circuit is protected by a RCD/GFCI located in the main consumer uni, while in the US you have typically have GFCI in the sockets (and even not everywhere), that means that the circuit in the house is not protected (if you were to do some work on a live circuit, which you shouldn't but we all do it, and accidentally touch a wire you are still protected)

Consider that 110V is more dangerous in terms of creating fires, higher current means lower amperage, that means that you don't typically have connections that can be bad and overheat or arc and cause a fire. That is the reason because in the US you need to have AFCI while we in Europe don't, because 240V is less likely to cause an arc, also because typically connections and plugs are more solid.
I don't think that's the case. The article is comparing wildly different compilers (Visual Studio and LLVM) which are inevitably going to give very different results. Comparing Rust with clang would be a more interesting comparison since they use the same back end.

Thanks for correcting me. Indeed, I meant it as a disclosure, not a disclaimer. I was aware of the difference between the two words but I made a thinking error while writing my comment.
I'm not sure I understand the distinction you are trying to make? Having a job is not the same as being needed in an economy.

As we know from economics, demand decreases when price increases. Conversely, demand increases when price decreases. Goodman is able to find a job at below the cost of production, so to speak, but if the price were to rise to a sustainable level, nobody would be willing to hire anymore. After all, if people were willing to hire at a higher price, the higher price would already be paid out.

Any business can find customers producing widgets for free. Guaranteed. The hard part is finding customers willing to pay the cost of production + tidy profit in order to show that the market is actually in need of said widget. All Goodman is proving is the former; not brining in enough money to cover the actual cost of providing the job.

Is this an editorial or an article? If this is considered real journalism by the Atlantic I don't think I'll be clicking on links form them anymore. This is absolute rubbish and dripping in bias.
- Trillions in student loans

- Billions in rent paid to older generations every year with no hope of buying a house

- Earning less than the previous 2 generations were at this age. Less assets than the previous 2 generations had at this age.

The crux of the article is that another recession will drag these issues into Millennials' middle age, effectively destroying the American dream for a whole generation. If the next recession is large enough, I can believe that premise.
As a legal matter, maybe. You can start to get onto shaky ground when you provide something that's explicitly marketed for some infringing purpose.

I'm not sure how useful any of this is anyway though. I took another look at Amazon Transcribe a couple weeks ago and reached the conclusion that its transcriptions are still pretty bad compared to a human doing it. You get the general gist so long as it's a clean recording but there are lots of errors.

Standalone software is going to be even worse.

Imperfect captioning is better than nothing in some cases. But who wants to read a book--much less use it as a learning tool--when there are errors every other sentence?

ADDED: It really doesn't seem like much of a threat to publishers in its current form. Probably lots of errors and the text is only delivered a few lines at a time as the book is read aloud. However, I can see publishers looking down the road and imagining much improved ML transcription and larger blocks of text as something that's legally indistinguishable.
The world apparently has a demand for an email service that is free, easy to use, secure, or whatever other attribute that makes hundreds of millions of people choose to use Gmail compared to any other client (SquirrelMail) or service (Yahoo).

I'm sure Google's market influence had something to do with Gmail's success though.

Agreed, it's mostly old bots trying to take over wordpress sites and serve malware. That's about it.

For a while, I gathered attempted usernames. I created accounts for all the usernames, set a null password on my chroot sftp server. I was really hoping they would try to upload something interesting. Nope. If they can't get a standard shell, they just keep retrying in a loop, forever. I've had the same bots hitting my server every few minutes for several years. No harm, no foul, I let them have at it.
A client of ours bought a CRM on Codecanyon and I have to say that it's pretty impressive. It's called Perfex.

It's written in CodeIgniter and has a lot of hooks so we were able to trick it out quite extensively. And it will create a lead or contact if information is sent through a web form that you can create on the platform.

We created a curl interface that fronts several different forms that feed into the CRM including contact and registration forms on various different sites.

How many people actually like the idea and how many claim they do because they want to score points? The endgame is that the government can do whatever it wants and claim it is with "the support of the people"
The title is correct. The issue is about creating captions (text) from audio.
I personally started with a hand-rolled static html site and some content. When I decided to self-host, I got a super cheap VPS and just ran the site off of Node.js with an nginx reverse proxy.

After around 10 blog posts, I just wrote my own static site generator: https://smalldata.tech/blog/2018/08/16/building-a-simple-sta...

Most importantly, what works for me is just writing in HTML. It is more expressive than markdown and the browser preview _just works_ (including displaying images and/or running inlined js if certain posts require it)!
I see you are a founder of Ghost. Maybe I would have given it a shot if I were proficient in Node or JS :) But I remember creating toy blog app that had commenting feature, some years back.

Like the GP, I was also under the impression that Ghost doesn't support commenting by design but you are suggesting otherwise. I find it hard to believe that adding commenting system(something that all major CMSs have had since forever) would be that technically challenging that it hasn't been added even six years after its first release.
I fail to understand why every article about millennials is biased with the American college system. Student loans are something not existing in Europe. And American salaries (at least in IT) are 3x-4x higher than here.

As millennial myself, the big struggle for us is the expensive housing market (you cannot but anymore a house in a city without a loan, compared to GenX and baby boomers), the expensive car market (a medium car, say a VW Golf or similar, reaches quickly over 25.000 €), the incredibly low wages (Youngs are earning nothing-to-800€ max)
Probably - publishers are always mad.

Kindles actually used to have headphones jacks and a feature to automatically transcribe books that you owned into auto-generated speech.

It was a fantastic accessibility feature, but the publishers complained, and the feature and the hardware supporting it were both removed. Although like people are saying, I guess the headphone jack also probably wasn't a very popular feature.
I think this should be fine.

I did not notice any typing / suggest box lagging or performance problems and I do not have the strongest laptop. The same thing for some extensions that I used before and rendered background image.

AFAIK these things should also run in separate thread, so lag in the web page should not freeze omnibox.

That quote from wikipedia is interesting, because it says something you're interpreting as a being a consistent and simple rule but it's actually really vague and ill-defined - basically "Q, W and X are preserved in foreign words for a while until they're not".

Another example, place names are often localized even if they don't contain a non-Czech letter: Venice=>Benátky, Paris=>Pařiž, London=>Londýn, and so on. And sometimes original place names are left in place when they do have a letter or letters that are not Czech (or not very Czech) - see Washington, New York, Sydney, Chicago. In fact the last one is particularly interesting, since "ch" is considered a single letter in Czech - and there's a pretty perfect mapping to the Czech alphabet that preserves the stress on the "a" in "Chicago": Šikágo.

"Venice" is interesting too since "-ice" is a common place-name suffix. It behaves quite weirdly - sometimes it's singular (e.g. Lednice) and sometimes plural (e.g. Valtice). This becomes fun when you start to decline them so "I'm going (by vehicle) to Lednice" is "Jedu do Lednice" and to Valtice it's "Jedu do Valtic" (note: no "e" at the end). And the Venice/Benátky is apparently plural (http://prirucka.ujc.cas.cz/?slovo=Ben%C3%A1tky). Why, I do not know. This is unrelated to the original discussion of course - just an interesting aside :-)

It's the Ideas section ("ARGUMENTS. ESSAYS. INQUIRIES."), so it's editorial. Either way, it seems to be well-researched as far as I can tell. What's your specific gripe with it?

e.g.

> The net worth of your average Millennial household is 40 percent lower than for Gen X households in 2001 and 20 percent lower than for Baby Boomers’ households at the end of the 1980s.

This links to a federal reserve study.
> At least you're open about the fact that guilt tripping and shaming is not about trying to change behavior.

That's only true if you didn't read the next two sentences. My point was that feeling bad is the mechanism that guilt-trippers and shamers are trying to utilize.

I'm sure guilt and shame don't work well in negotiations. I don't know whether that translates to shaping society or influencing your friends. Personally, I don't do it because that's not how I want to treat my friends.

>“I’m not letting you drink unless you can drive”

Welcome to the US. Things are really wacky here. Another really wacky thing: you can't walk around or be in public with an alcoholic drink (e.g., you can't have a beer in a public park outside, on a picnic, etc.), even though drinking is such a huge, huge, huge part of our culture. Yet in most other developed nations, it's perfectly legal. You can even buy beer in vending machines in Japan.
> A computer is a device on which the work is licensed to be distributed, and it happens to have the capability to transform the work, just as a volume knob or a graphic equalizer would.

That's not a fair comparison, and I'm sure you know that. But I appreciate someone playing the devil's advocate here; such exercises are always useful.

> If Amazon can't offer this technology because they are licensed to distribute the work, what is to stop someone selling such technology who is not licensed to distribute the work?

What's stopping them from selling such technology? Nothing, as far as I'm aware. It's similar to how BitTorrent clients are not themselves illegal, but users of the client can use them towards illegal ends.

It might just be coincidence.
>They're creating a text version and distributing it without appropriate licensing.

If they create it on their machines and distribute it, then I agree this is an issue. It doesn't matter if it is an AI or if they paid someone to transcribe it, they are distributing a work they likely don't have permission to do so. But if they provide you an application to create it on your machine, then it is you who does the work to make a copy and distributing the application is not an issue (there is an underlying issue of distributing a neural network that was trained by private work, but I'm not certain that is the case here and I think that is a separate issue to discuss that is irrelevant to the use of that neural network).

It is my understanding that the user's device does the translation, but if that isn't the case then my entire argument doesn't apply to this particular case.

>Further, I don't understand why anybody here is giving Amazon the benefit of the doubt.

Personally I don't care about Amazon. But I do care about the precedent set when it comes to distributing applications that make doing something legal easier (at near zero cost). I personally don't even prefer the argument they use and don't even think it works that great as an argument (because it doesn't work if you replace the AI with a person hired to do the same job).
You can't have a meaningful economy if significant parts of that economy are 'magical' such as bucketloads of spawned NPCs getting bucketloads of scullcaps out of nowhere.

Expecting a reasonable supply/demand for something that gets spawned without limit, and gets harvested as a side-effect of something people want to do anyway, is like expecting a supply/demand based trade in candy wrappers or banana peels; The obvious economic value for most NPC drops is zero, and artificial price fixing is required to make it something else.
This isn’t the user doing the conversion, it’s an Amazon product doing it. You say it’s “just” an implementation detail, but the distinction of how it’s being generated matters.
I think it's quite clear from context that all graphs in Mythical Man Month are based on formulas and theory, not on double-blind experiments or empirical measurements.

Still, I often find it quite useful advice even for today's projects, where people commonly assume that they can put a late project back on track by adding people to it, and that by doubling the staff, the product will be produced twice as fast.

Speaking as a brand new manual transmission driver: Learning
Most consumers use their devices for media consumption, games, and surfing the web. ALL of these are heavily multi-threaded. Yes, even dear old Javascript is parsed and compiled in multiple threads, concurrently GC'd and uses web workers, service workers, and webassembly.

In the business world, all the commonly-used software I can think of is heavily threaded as well. Generally, the remaining software that comes to mind is simple stuff that could run on a decade-old machine without too much trouble.

What typical programs are you running that require so much single-threaded performance?
This reminds me of the years I wasted writing C++, always looking for the idiomatic approach, rather than learning about security, networking, architecture and so on. In exactly the same way, Rust is just too complicated.
Yeah I think there is a work around.. but it will take this comment board to bubble it up
1. Why is that absurd? A company that can only find customers for a widget at $1, that costs $2 to make, continuing to produce that widget because it is 'needed' is the only absurd idea I see here. Clearly the widget isn't needed, even if people are willing to buy it at below cost of production. Doing a job that costs more to do than what is paid back in compensation is no different than our hypothetical widget.

2. Most people in low-wage jobs are subsidized by someone else with a higher income (spouse, parent, etc.). They don't need high wages in order to afford to live. Thanks to that subsidization, they can afford to work for much less than someone who would have to live unsubsidized, while still maintaining a comfortable lifestyle. Those who are not fortunate enough to be subsidized have to compete against them. The mere fact that there is competition means that someone is going to lose, which means someone isn't needed.

3. Price is, as always, a function of supply and demand. If more people were needed for the jobs you mention than is currently being supplied, price would fundamentally rise, shrinking the affordability gap that exists for those who are unsubsidized in low-wage jobs. The jobs are low-wage quite simply because there are more people willing and able to do the job than there are jobs. Which, again, means that people aren't needed.

Finally, this is not an all or nothing situation. Not needing some people does not equate to not needing all people. The role of the economy, and price by extension, is to find that balance.
