If I've understood the intent correctly, the individual investor side of LTSE is only a small part of the picture. The biggest part is that the company itself is setup for long-term focus via its principles[0] -- as one example, compensating executives not based solely on hitting a single quarter's numbers, but on performance over the long term.

So long as a company adheres to those principles, it doesn't matter if an individual investor can obtain their shares via ShortTermScumbags.com or the like. Having investors who are along for the long haul is a nice-to-have, not a must-have, since the goal is long-term focused companies which will naturally, via its principles, eschew reacting to short-term trends in share price.

How does it compare with the training data you submitted to create your overdub voice? Sometimes, the voice sounds different because of the recording conditions, room tone, etc. and overdub voice copies these environmental factors as well.
is it even possible to be independent now? you have to purchase something as simple as a domain and hosting from somewhere.
Most transformer models require that the data is euclidian (e.g. a sequence or image). Non-Euclidean deep learning methods like graph neural networks (GNNs) are much more general and can accept almost arbitrarily structured data (social networks, point clouds, trees, etc). You can actually model transformers as a special case of GNNs[1].

(1) If you pay no taxes, a tax credit is the state giving you money (not the same as a tax reduction). In the case of childcare, it's a tax credit, so everyone in France can claim it and the state will give you money if need be.

This project is not a replacement for phone keyboards, and if it was then I would still consider it inferior to physical keyboard in the same way that touch keyboards are inferior to them. Phone keyboard require a lot of hacks to make them more acceptable, from providing haptic feed with vibration to inferring the letter desired through proximity, which it often gets wrong for people with larger fingers.

None of which matters though, because that isn't the use case on display here. The use shown is extremely similar to the projected keyboard to which I linked, which has remained a niche application.

So, my point stands: A use-case other than inferior versions of input devices is needed to demonstrate the value of this innovation. It is an interesting innovation, and my inability to immediately think of commercially viable applications for it doesn't change that. It's great that we come up with novel advances like this, and have them in our massive tool chest to pull them out once we connect the technology to a practical application. All I'm saying here is that, as presented, we don't have that connection to a practical application.

For anyone looking for an alternative python async web framework, I highly recommend Starlette (https://github.com/encode/starlette).

It was created by the same guy who wrote the excellent & highly popular Django-Rest-Framework. Very lightweight, clean, well-documented, and a breeze to get running with. It also supports async tasks natively.

I spent years working with Django and now I'm currently using it to power the api for https://sqwok.im.
Some of the inversion layers in California lately have been truly impressive as well in the past week. Take a look at some skew-T log-p diagrams over the past week:

Norcal (Oakland): https://climate.cod.edu/products/analysis/raob/index.php?typ...
Socal (Vandenburg): https://climate.cod.edu/products/analysis/raob/index.php?typ...

If you've never seen one of these before, the blue lines of temperature (isotherms) are skewed to the right, so that everything fits on the graph, and the pressure is logarithmic so it corresponds to height. The light green lines are adiabats -- air rising or falling will follow along these lines until water condenses. The big red line is temperature, and the big green one is dewpoint temperature -- where the lines touch there's a cloud.

So what we have here are large inversion layers, where temperature increases with height. Normally, the red line goes mostly straight up the graphy, as lowering pressure should lower temperature of air. And indeed, this creates a cap, where air above and below the edge of the inversion gets trapped.

These huge inversions are why the smoke is largely staying above the ground. It rises hot from the fire, but any sinking would be countered by the buoyance of the air wanting to keep it up. Mixing at the boundary layer is slow with this strong of an inversion.

But the inversion is also low, which means that the temperature differences with altitude can be extreme. I'm on the coast in Ventura, but if you went up the hills in the same city, it would be 30°F/17°C warmer at the same time. And in LA, the 100-120°F highs a couple days ago. We're having Santa Ana winds that are literally blowing over the top of calm air below, because the pressure gradient is too weak to overcome the strong inversion. This is really crazy weather.

For the reference, the Latin word is monstrum, and like I've said, there were surely people using that word while living on the territory of today's England long before Beowulf was written.

I'm quite sure no Japanese were living there either before or at the time Beowulf was written. That's the difference that I consider jarring, not the fact that the newer language is the language of the translation. Even in English, not all words have the same "weight" -- some simply "sound" new and have certain "modern" connotations and some don't. Some imply origin from one place, some from another, etc. It's simply more complex than "the whole English is newer, who cares" approach.

My favorite example from 1490 is:

"In this book, Caxton tells the story of some merchants from the North of England trying to buy eggs from a woman in the South of England. The northerner uses the word egges, derived from Old Norse, but the Southern woman, who uses the word eyren from the Old English, does not understand. A humorous misunderstanding ensues."

My point is that you shouldn't have to be contrite that you can't meet employer's insane demands. You should be able to reject demands to do midnight calls whether or not it's because you have a kid or because you want to have a social life.

The game is rigged in the favour of the employers here, and it's so cleverly rigged they have employees blaming each other.

The only people taking midnight calls should be those who are willing to, and who are appropriately compensated for it.

Is there any credence to the size of the EU fine being $5-10B? Even $10B seems a bit lenient given the size of Apple and its revenue/profits. There would need to be a feature change in addition to a fine, otherwise it'd just treated as "cost of doing business".

Isn't android really a case of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potemkin_village

?

It lets Apple keep making all the profit in smartphones without facing antitrust concerns for dominating the upper-middle to high priced smart phone market. It also gives Apple a motivation to let Google have it's way with advertising as there is a quid pro quid -- if Android goes down than Apple would be torn apart by regulators in Europe and China at the very least.

Thus nobody was really supposed to use Android or write apps for it.

ROI on paying rent vs mortgage is negative due to no equity building and the opportunity cost of that money disappearing vs paying yourself with each principle portion of your mortgage payment.

We all need a place to live so a house serves a physical utility as well that other investments do not, in addition to being able to collect unlimited rent when the mortgage is eventually paid off eventually. I think there is a lot of upside to home ownership if it is financially feasible.

> Carlo Rovelli and others propose that black holes actually only appear as they do to us due to the extreme time dilation, and similar to how a photon's "perspective" is that it's experiencing all of time at once, a black hole's perspective is that it's basically a massive explosion that occurs at essentially the same moment it forms. So under this hypothesis, a black hole never reaches a true singularity, but as close to a singularity as physically possible, and then it almost instantaneously bounces back like a taut rubber band that's stretched back as far as it'll go. From our perspective on the outside, it's an intense explosion occurring in very slow motion, and from the perspective on the inside, it's an intense explosion happening all at once.

I’ve been yelling like a crank for a while that a black hole is actually a massive explosion we see in (ultra) slow motion, so it’s really cool to hear I’m not alone, and that other people call it a “planck star”. I haven’t heard anyone connect that to the big bang being a white hole, but it does make a lot of sense, even if we currently have no direct observable evidence or even any theoretical predictions.

Thanks for sharing, now I can follow along the research.
> The claims about "the market" are market fundamentalism, that the market is the ideal allocation structure, that we can't find a better or even equivalent solution, because that's just how good markets are.

It's more usual to accept a weaker claim: that markets are the most efficient approximation to the perfect algorithm for price discovery, that is, they are the best way we know of to approximate perfect pricing given the constraint of time.

Insisting that no better approach is possible is a strong claim; you'll find it in the wild, but it's always dicey to make confident predictions about the future of human ingenuity.

But at the same time, there's no reason to waste much breath on technology which doesn't exist: markets are what we have, and they're what we should use, with the burden of proof firmly on the inventor of anything new to demonstrate that it has greater efficiency.
I prefer sct as it's much more lightweight although it won't change automatically according to time. It's easy to map shift as keyboard shortcuts in i3/sway, etc..
I’m not worried about in-building coverage. Most buildings have WiFi. I’m talking about walking block to block. If many more blocks have antennas, then my problem is solved.
It seems like a lot of monitors offer similar functionality these days too. One of the nice things about using your monitor for this stuff is that you don't have to worry about games, virtual machines, and other apps that bypass f.lux blinding you.
If someone sells to you they must operate under your state's laws. You can easily bring suit against them in small claims or real court, but you probably won't even need to do that as you can just get a chargeback.

It's very similar to a LED and a solar panel.

Except instead of a LED converting electricity into visible EM radiation, it's an antenna that converts electricity into a focused beam of microwave EM radiation. And on the other side instead of a solar panel you have an antenna to convert back from EM into electricity.

A similar example is WiFi/Bluetooth where you have antennas converting electricity to EM radition and back. Except they're at much lower power - well under a watt for phones/laptops, and up to a watt for routers, and generally the antennas are omnidirectional instead of focused.

If you really wanted to use visible light instead of microwave and not have antennas you could do a laser and a solar panel to get effectively the same product. Pretty sure laser power transmission is a thing with some niche use cases.
Good question and we also resonate with "Just code".

OXIDE at its core is built on-top of a radically new framework we architected called Reactor which allows us to build desktop-grade software in the web (such as OXIDE), which we then used to craft the ultimate experience for the Journey ecosystem.

The FDA might be too slow to approve approve new sunscreens, but they also dragged their feet on approving thalidomide, a decision that turned out to be absolutely correct in hindsight.

The FDA's overall reputation seems pretty good. Daniel Carpenter's book calls it "the most powerful regulatory agency in the world." This article talks about its (very positive) reputation as well: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.23.1....
I feel like a lot of this article is trying to make comparisons between online only open access journals and traditional closed publishers. However the paper the article is based on does not collect any data about the latter and so there isn’t any real comparison to make.

I don’t think the solution is to move back towards the old model. There are already lots of initiatives towards creating online archives of academic work that may be piggybacked on. In mathematics, perhaps the easiest way to set up an open access journal is as an arxiv overlay journal where at the most basic level each issue of the journal is a list of links to specific versions of papers on the arxiv. This would be likely to be archived sufficiently well.

For a traditional journal that shuts down to be archived, lots of things need to happen:

1. Some library needs to pay some exorbitant fee to get physical or (permanent not saas-based) digital copies of the journal

2. That library needs to keep hold of that copy for the 100 years or so until copyright expires

3. That library then needs to take the initiative to make its copies available

This seems like a harder process than finding some public domain digital copy. And for a lot of journals, the only reason the library gets copies is due to the bundling systems which universities hate.

I’m curious to know more about these journals which did vanish, and what sort of quality they are. If a predatory journal offers open access and later disappears, would they be counted?

> On the other hand, if argument is that it's easy enough to switch from Playstation to Xbox, then how is that different from buying a new phone?

Rather easily: players can own two consoles with nothing more than the hardware investment, and there's a long social experience of dedicated gamers doing just this. Owning two phones, however, requires two separate cell/data plans and duplication of every other regular-use app (productivity, e-mail, etc.)

The core distinction is that a console is a device, whereas iOS/Android is a platform.

I honestly don’t think Apple should be investigated for antitrust and I don’t think they can be considered a monopoly. There are plenty of choices in the gaming space, and there are a lot of android competitors to the App Store. I really don’t think epic should have any standing here. They’re just mad about Apple’s 30% cut. Apple charges a premium to people to be in their ecosystem and they do it anyway. This isn’t a monopoly by any definition. I do think removing Sign In with Apple is a bad look, but Epic is in over their head here, they really shouldn’t be suing Apple.
Okay; I'll bite; I read your post. You have absolutely no claim here and the whole thing reads like the ramblings of someone who needs serious help. It actually gets worse the further down the page I read.
Apps being able to overlay stuff onto other apps is a double-edge sword. You get good uses of it like f.lux and things like 'friend is now online' notifications with steam, but then you also get arguably user-degrading experiences like adware and the old Facebook messenger chat heads[0]. Apple and others made the decision to not allow this at all, so the only apps that can survive are those that can leverage notifications that users can always turn off in an uniform way.

That's great! I'm glad to see any competition in the space. When I first tried Lyrebird a year or 18 months ago the quality wasn't great. It was OK and I could hear a resemblance to the voice it was meant to create, but there were hisses and fuzzy sections and it just wasn't long term listenable. Recently the examples I've heard from Descript have sounded really crisp. Keep on the path you're on! I like your business model better, but from the examples on your website the voices are still not quite as refined. Now what I'd really like is a local means of generating great TTS of my own voice, but that's a different offering.
