> constantly running sounds through ML models is power hungry which is as far as i know why devices such as these optimize a lot for commands prompts such as "OK google" which is when the ML loop actually starts.

How power hungry is it actually? I'd only have to run it on the big model if a pretty dumb model thinks that the voice is even in the audio stream.
This part resonated with me:

When I was an intern, in one of the training presentations, a senior banker told us to distinguish between the process and the results. He said that we should focus on the process, which we can control, rather than the result, which is subject to luck. And here at Goldman, he said, we don’t punish people for losing money for the right reason. I have always loved asking questions, so I asked him, was anyone ever punished for making money for the wrong reason? After giving it some thought, he said that he had not heard of any such thing. And he was right. In fact, no one seemed to remember the reason I did the inflation trade at all. They only remembered that I did this trade and that it worked well.
Do you know for sure? My father was in the ag business in the Salinas valley and he always suggested it was either wild pigs shitting in the fields or migrant workers not given proper or enough "porta potties" so they go in the ditches sometimes.
But steam may ruin the masks, and the instructions on sanitizing don't mention water.
Ah, so it's actually pretty simple to avoid this vulnerability: all I need to do is upgrade to an Android phone based on one of the several competitive Snapdragon alternatives that are bound to be widely available given the staggering size of the market.

Hold on, I'm sure I'll find one any minute now...
Yeah, living having to fight your intuition for every scrap of ground RE: others is a wonderful experience.
Referencing conservation of mass doesn't make sense. While CO2 is technically a "pollutant", it's not in the same league as the others. Particulates affect air quality in a way that CO2 does not.
I'm actually French. But I agree that Norwegian are good at patting themselves on the back.
> I'd be surprised if you told me that Tupac's voice was recreated without using any copyrighted material.

This fascinates me and opens up a wholly new can of worms.

Technically, it's mostly Linda Johnson's speech data, which is in the public domain. Most voice models incorporate this as the base for learning how to transform phoneme to spectrogram, spectrogram to waveform. They'll then transfer learn on top of this.

Could you tell the difference between Tupac and an impersonator? What about 10% Tupac, 90% impersonator?

What if it's really 1% Tupac, 9% impersonator, 90% Linda Johnson? Or no Tupac at all? Can anyone tell the difference?

Where did the copyrighted data go? Is there any left?

> Why is software always an afterthought with these projects? Especially a project like this, which has clearly seen an enormous amount of effort put into the hardware design.

This can go either way, in my experience. I’ve worked with software developers who do a terrible job with hardware, and hardware developers who do a terrible job with software. Best I can tell, it’s a problem that’s existed since we started making computers.

In some ways, I think it’s arrogance. The rockstar software developer believes that software is infinitely more complex than the hardware it runs on. The ninja EE believes that software is trivial. And they both assume that they can effectively do each others’ jobs.
Well the reason TSMC gave up Huawei so easily was because they knew they would have no trouble filling orders from AMD, NVIDIA, Xilinx and now Intel apparently.
Not this again. Perhaps this is cultural, but writing such a self-centered document and then expecting people to read it wouldn't be acceptable in Europe. At least not in my experience.

The question should be: would lowering food standards make any difference?

Specifically in this case, in order to do a trade deal with a different continent, so the increased costs of transport are relevant.

I’m also told supermarket prices are very different from wholesale (and therefore import) prices. If so I would therefore expect any cost change to alter profit margins rather than family shopping bills.
In my experience I haven't picked up anything because I wasn't the best about decontamination, but I have picked up something when I wore a surgical mask instead of an N95 mask.

Does an app have shortcut you don't like? Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and click the plus. As prompted, enter the exact title of menu action you want trigger and the new shortcut. I use the on all my machines to rebind Quit Safari / Chrome / Firefox /Mail to Cmd + Option + Q to avoid killing the application when I fat-finger Cmd + Q instead of Cmd + W.

Others already mentioned:

- hold Cmd in Spotlight to reavel the path containing the selected item, Cmd + Enter opens that folder in Finder.

- readline keys work in basically every text input on the machine. Want to delete a line? C-a C-k. Delete the word preceding the cursor? M-Backspace.

- Cmd + Down opens the selected item in finder, Cmd + Up jumps one level up the folder hierarchy Cmd + Left/Right expand/collapse
I agree that charts are a problem - arguably Google is just a set of charts for keywords, and i think that’s one of the reasons it is so corrosive.

I just don’t think that Apple could have done much about it at the beginning. If they weren’t producing charts, someone else would have been because people want to know what other people think is good, and on a global scale this results in winner takes all dynamics.

I agree with you about everything in this comment except the sentiment that it’s Apple’s fault or that they could have done something about it from the start.

My view is that we actually now do have a chance to do something about it, but anti-trust action against Apple will almost certainly destroy that chance and leave us stuck with this situation for much longer.
At my company I am working to get all of our IAM policies ironed out in AWS-CDK. Through this any developer can pull down the git repo containing the IAM roles. They can makes changes and submit MRs but the only approvers of those MRs are part of our Access Management team. This all of the IAM roles can be crafted by the devs but must be explained and understood by the AM team through a code review process. After that automation takes over and then the policy can be referenced by other CDK/CF templates.
A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity (1943)
Agreed, there is a large learning curve and it took me a long time to wrap my head around it.

It requires a lot of knowledge and discipline, which sooner or later will create holes. For example, if you need to pass a role to a service, you'll need PassRole; if you grant it on " * ", then oops, you might have just created the opportunity for privilege escalation [1].

There's also probably issues specific to your company: allowing access to read resource foo in general is not an issue, except your specific company stores sensitive data there. If every developer is expected to be a security expert, the security risks increase, and the productivity overhead may even be worse than having a dedicated security/IAM team that gatekeeps permissions.

> Because of the “all-or-none” character of nervous activity, neural events and the relations among them can be treated by means of propositional logic. It is found that the behavior of every net can be described in these terms, with the addition of more complicated logical means for nets containing circles; and that for any logical expression satisfying certain conditions, one can find a net behaving in the fashion it describes.
You are missing the philosophy. It's not about getting the job done.
I have never had an iOS device in my life, but these three paragraphs provide probably the most convincing reason to finally make the switch:

> A billion or more Android devices are vulnerable to hacks that can turn them into spying tools by exploiting more than 400 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip, researchers reported this week.

> The vulnerabilities can be exploited when a target downloads a video or other content that’s rendered by the chip. Targets can also be attacked by installing malicious apps that require no permissions at all.

> From there, attackers can monitor locations and listen to nearby audio in real time and exfiltrate photos and videos. Exploits also make it possible to render the phone completely unresponsive. Infections can be hidden from the operating system in a way that makes disinfecting difficult.
For AWS integration with my commercial tool, I am considering having it inspect it's own permissions and loudly tell you it's misconfigured if you give it permissions to do anything more than what it minimally needs. I wish more tools did this.

Modeling the climate crisis action plan [pdf]
I go down this rabbit hole occasionally. Besides the occasional arcade game (R-Type is the only reason I run MAME, really), I had a Raspberry Pi where I ran Basilisk II to emulate a Mac running System 6 (a poor replacement for the Mac Classic I refurbished in the late 90s, now long gone), WindowMaker (because I used to have a NeXT on my desk) and (for the longest of times) Plan 9, which mostly ran its weird VNC and SSH clients for me to pop over to headless machines.

There is a lot about those early computing environments that we still haven't caught up on, and probably never will--they're different evolutionary branches that went nowhere (especially Plan 9, which I rather liked but is unusable without a 3-button mouse).

I'm tempted to grab one of my 3A+ and either install Plan 9 or see if I can cross-compile NextSpace (https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace) and get a working environment.
That's a really neat trick!

Worth noting: Chrome actually no longer dies when you fat-finger cmd-w. It shows a "hold cmd-q to quit" overlay and only dies if you keep holding the keys down.
Abductions
When the michael scott team went down to florida they met a man who had been paying rent to a landlord who never paid the mortgage.

p.s. but the parent poster is probably referring to the people who were duped into a floating rate mortgage, or the idea of paying nth mortgage with n+1th mortage (which is reasonable as long as rates decrease/stay low forever), or retail investors/small time investors who bought securities they were assured were high quality but were not. These people didn't get much screen time (beginning of movie bankers, line of side bets at the roulette table)
> We got cheap Chinese plastic trinkets.

No, what we got was a new robber baron class of ultra-rich billionaires the likes of which haven't been seen since the federal government had to break up Standard Oil, etc... Which has led to extreme wealth inequality and a complete lack of access to _our fucking politics_ for the vast majority of Americans.
I was thinking more about the rules to follow. I agree that it's weird to complain about mask usage in France when Norwegian do not use them in Norway. But overall, I feel like Norwegian business are a bit more careful. As an example home office in Norway is recommended until next year while France recommends to wear masks at work (except at your office). Which many people in France do not do.
You make a lot of claims here about how to properly protect oneself, and as matters as important as this one, citations should be considered strictly necessary.
Sure for CVOID, but then you'd be exposing yourself to other microorganism that would probably not become a pandemic but still hurt you a little bit.
But there is a counterpoint to that. More copyright helps creators and incentivizes creation.

> unlimited copyright facilitates exploitation by a different set of corporations

"Exploitation" is a loaded word. Nobody is going to pay $500 to read Harry Potter. What you would see with unlimited copyright is what you already see: there is a reasonable maximum that can be charged for (say) books in a given market. In other markets (e.g. 3rd world), prices are lower.

Scientific publishing is an entirely different issue, BTW. Science journal publishers rape universities and the general public. That is not really because of copyright. It's a different system of abuse that I don't want to raise here.
> What workforce in the world retires, and then lives for 75 years?

It's clear you don't understand how the accounting works.
Cute. If I'm not mistaken there is a roughly 1% probability that it won't reach 11 instances of ! in which case it won't print your friend's name. Is that intentional? Otherwise maybe you could generate a random position for the aurora string before you run the loop and check for that instead of using the variable a.
And that is what I consider functioning as intended.

While I don’t think they target me specifically, I can’t be really sure either and like many other companies the people there behave quite contrary to what is advertised.

This is just too obvious of a potential attack to simply ignore and too easy to avoid.
Currently, the UK suffers under the cruel tyranny of European food safety regs, but after WONDERFUL BREXIT it’ll be allowed have its own salmonella-y onions, because Consumer Choice. Or I think that’s the narrative, anyway.

This is nothing to do with cuisine or even food quality; it’s about food safety. The UK will soon no longer have to obey EU rules and is under pressure to relax its standards as part of a potential trade deal with the US.
You can go to the reset menu in settings, and reset your keyboard dictionary.

> You Can't SSR a Web Component - Strictly speaking, this is not quite correct. Custom elements are just html tags and can be rendered by any server framework. If you want to SSR the shadow DOM itself, that's possible by inlining the template and using a small bit of JS to attach the shadow after streaming the template in. That said, as mentioned, we are working on declarative shadow dom, which will provide the W3C standard on which SSR and other WC capabilities will be built.

I mainly develop using ASP.NET Core, with some vanilla JS as needed.

I'm just starting to hear about Web Components, and have heard that you can't use them with SSR because of the shadow DOM. I don't actually know what shadow DOM is, but does this mean no Web Components work with SSR, or that some don't? What precisely is the issue?

I think the obvious solution is to give users power over who can comment on their stuff. My Facebook feed could easily pass as a “kind social network” because I only follow blood bowl interest groups and only have friends I actually like in the real world.

Don’t get me wrong, I too had a friendslist full of anyone I’d ever met, I followed news and stuff like that. And it drove me to the point where I was ready to quit Facebook. Then I got into blood bowl and needed Facebook for our national league, and I had to figure out how to make social networking not suck. The answer was to remove all the people I didn’t actually care about.

These days my feed is relatively slow, and usually rather boring, but I use Facebook more than ever because of my blood bowl interest groups. These groups too are moderates in a way that would get the average Twitter commenter banned by their first post. Sure we might as well use some phpBB thing, and we might as well use IRC instead of discord, would be nice for a privacy and anti-advertising concern, but Facebook is where people are.
Try the experiment with friends!

First, get a friend or relative to go along with the ride here. Try to have that person not be on your local network of wifi and the like.

Then, go a website that will generate a list of random words: https://www.randomlists.com/nouns . Make sure that you are selecting for nouns or adjectives. Copy the first three words that you get. More is fine too. Just get enough words to be pretty specific.

Then go to amazon or some such online retailer: https://www.amazon.com/ . Search for the three random words you got.

Now, here is an important step, sort the returned list by price, from high to low.

Take the most expensive item as your experimental item. You can do this with a few items if you'd like. You're just trying to get something that is not what you or your demographic would normally look to purchase.

Then, talk about that item around your gadgets, critically, with someone that is not you. Your amazon search history is already corrupted just by searching for this.

Check back in with your friend or relative in about a week. You can set a reminder in your phone to do this. See if they got any ads that were trying to sell them on the random item you chose.
I feel like I'm being trolled here. The poster's claim was

>because the government cannot censor speech AOC wants companies like Facebook to do it.

Ok, AOC shouldn't be allowed to block people on Twitter. What does that have to do with the original claim?
It was available on the Apple IIe, I remember loving that feature when I was just a little kid. I'm still amazed Woz was able to synthesize speech with hardware back then.

It was the answer to the main question everyone had, how are they providing 1GB (huge at the time) inbox space for FREE? Because they were serving relevant ads against your mail. It was in no way a secret.

To me it had the opposite effect. The gradual transition from nature to more urban/industrial scenes awoke the feeling in me that humans and society are just part of the same nature.

Claiming "self hosted" or "self-hostable" is a bit weird without a Dockerfile being provided, I think. That's not a mean-spirited comment, I just think most people would expect it as it's the standard for relatively quick and easy deployment (in my case for testing).

If you're one of those people you might appreciate the hint that someone has made a Dockerfile, it's just not merged yet.

> If it's in the DSP it may not need to be an app that runs the exploit. Sounds like any malicious audio or video file could do it. Could be something delivered via a streaming site, email, audio embedded in a webpage, etc. This sounds like it could be a very big deal.

Seems unlikely to me. DSP data vs DSP code - I think it's in the latter that you'll find vulnerabilities.
I only partly agree.

After 10+ years of baking my own bread, for example, it takes under 5 mins to drop my selfmade premix, or mix it there and then, in the bread machine. Preparing a sourdough and baking it off in the morning, takes a few times a few minutes, spread out.

Point is, baking bread, takes me less time than going to the bakers. And is cheaper. Same for making my own jams, tomato sauce, pizza, syrup, honey, veggie garden, veggy burgers, wine, beer. It all takes time, but mostly planning. Saves money if done right.

I realize that I'm priviledged with having space and opportunity to try and learn it all, but that is also because I pursued precisely that freedom and opportunity.

You beat me to it. I Happened to watched this movie after reading a couple books on modernity and postmodernism and was blown away by how much this movie touched on identity, the self and society. I watched it with two friends, one who also has read similar books and another who hasn’t. The guy who didn’t have the extra background thought it was just ok so YMMV.
command + space launches the spotlight search. In here, not only can you search, but you can also do some math to use it as a calculator. Real handy if I need to do a quick calculation. For example, entering in `243*2/4` will spit out `121.5`.
Are you considering a PhD in STEM? This is for you
Sorry, but this comment is ironic on multiple levels.

First off, it's exactly the same logic that communists used in USSR. "Look at these beautiful Moscow Subway stations!" (nevermind the gulags); or "Hey, citizen! Go ahead and celebrate and march for the International Workers' Day!" (nevermind the fallout from Chernobyl is peaking).

Second, in the context of the article we're discussing (who is more worrisome from data collection perspective - CCP or SV), why me - the foreigner - would have any illusions of being treated better than China's own citizens (Uyghurs)? Granted, I won't be put into the camp, but to think that my data would be treated with any respect, is to be naive.
