A more precise term of art is "Speaker Recognition" as opposed to "Voice Recognition", so as not to be confused with "Speech Recognition".

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

>Speaker recognition is the identification of a person from characteristics of voices. It is used to answer the question "Who is speaking?" The term voice recognition can refer to speaker recognition or speech recognition. Speaker verification (also called speaker authentication) contrasts with identification, and speaker recognition differs from speaker diarisation (recognizing when the same speaker is speaking).

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

>Recognizing the speaker can simplify the task of translating speech in systems that have been trained on specific voices or it can be used to authenticate or verify the identity of a speaker as part of a security process. Speaker recognition has a history dating back some four decades as of 2019 and uses the acoustic features of speech that have been found to differ between individuals. These acoustic patterns reflect both anatomy and learned behavioral patterns.

It's actually been used in criminal cases:

>Speaker recognition may also be used in criminal investigations, such as those of the 2014 executions of, amongst others, James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/sep/02/steven-sotloff...

>An investigation is under way to establish whether the man dubbed Jihadi John is behind a second murder after a British-accented man was shown in the video depicting the killing of Steven Sotloff.

>Security sources said that although there were similarities between the voice on the film that emerged on Tuesday and that depicting the murder of James Foley a fortnight ago, the figure is largely hidden in black clothing.

>A man with a British accent was seen in an Islamic State video posted last month in which the American journalist James Foley was beheaded. He was dubbed Jihadi John after one former hostage spoke about three Britons, collectively know as the Beatles, who were among their captors, one of whom went by the name of John. In both videos, the speaker has what appears to be a London accent.

But that's not being an engineer. That's being a senior manager.

That is great for the one individual with that reach, but does not solve the problem from an organisation perspective.

If we took that advice to heart, then the CEO would have a line outside his door of all the engineers in the company, doing what they feel is best for the company. He would then say, Jeez, I think I need to have some managers to group these people together like in a hierarchy.

Plus the guy(s) you know, everyone else, including their managers, knew they had the boss' ear. And in my experience that person just becomes another manager, 'cos everyone reaches out to them to get their project unstuck.
Tesla’s V3 super chargers charge at 250kW, IIRC VW/Audi are working on a 500kW charging for their (s)HV cars.

The Kia EV6 which is pretty much on the market already supports 350kW charging with 800v DC chargers… they demonstrated 70% charge in only 18min with a production car and a production charger.

So I don’t see why 480kw would be unrealistic especially with a new cathode technology.

Whether this one works or not I don’t know but the 480kW isn’t some limit that can’t be broken because we are already reaching it with existing batteries.

Battery life depends a lot on which laptop you buy. With an old Elitebook Revolve with an Intel 5200U and a new Envy X360 with an AMD 4700U the battery life on Linux is about the same when compared to reviews on Windows. Especially the Envy has some issues with running Linux, but battery life isn't one of them.

I think asking employees to come in, say once a month is a pretty cool balance. So on that day that everyone comes together, rather make it a social thing and not a sit and work day. Have a friendly townhall and focus on cohesion & empathy. Ask them what they need, if their home circumstances can be improved etc.

They can have a much smaller office space (can be fancier since it is smaller) for people to meet if they really need to (specifically client facing), then there are internet & coffee & snacks, desks & couches available. 90% staff don't have to go to the office to be honest.

And the rest of the money being saved on having smaller offices can be funneled to employee bonuses/benefits or gear (better desks/chairs if you are chair-bound) (more frequent upgrades or let the employee choose what gear they want (within reason)), (at work I have 1x 24" 1080p screen, at home I have 2x 27" 1440p but I bought it with my own money... (which is the ultimate size and density for programming for me)), (decent webcam & dedicated microphone and good headphones), paid for tooling (like gitkraken/jetbrains/pluralsight subscriptions). Stuff like that will make a huge difference.

Overlays were a thing in DOS days, as well. Not for Doom specifically, but I've seen quite a few 16-bit games using them.
They may well be exact homophones in some/all dialects of Russian, but I'm not sure that children having to memorise spellings is evidence for that. Don't both English and German, for example, have almost-homophones that children typically learn to distinguish by learning the spelling rather than by hearing the subtle difference in pronunciation? If you look at the spelling mistakes made by 12-16-year-olds in England and Germany, don't you find a significant proportion of them are caused by the child having incorrectly heard how people pronounce the word?

I suppose it's an interesting phenomenon that some (but not all?) languages have subtle phonetic differences that even native speakers cannot always easily distinguish.

Ask HN: How is valuation calculated when exercising non-qualified stock options
I was granted some non-qualified stock options in a startup. These options are now fully vested and I want to exercise them. My understanding is I would own tax based on the difference between the strike price and the share price based on the current valuation. However, I don't know how the valuation is determined. I could think of a few scenarios:

* The valuation is the same as last year 409A valuation
* The company needs to do a new valuation round, even though it's less than 12 months since they did last 409A

Because the company is doing well this year, I expect the difference between these 2 valuations is meaningful. Therefore, I want to know which of them (or if something else) will be used to determine how much tax I owe.

Is there a common practice for this? If I need to talk to an attorney, can I talk to a CPA or do I need to find a specific type of attorneys?

Dark patterns are 'dark' because they're deceptive. They hide what they're doing in order to trick the user in to doing something that they might not have otherwise done. In this case, if you want to check the local network, simply tell the user that's what you want to do, and give them a call to action like a button that they need to press in order to perform the check.

Avoiding dark patterns is very easy - just be honest with the user.

Great work!

I love the idea of making code and data alive, interactive and illustrative. Reminds me a bit of Bret Victor's talks, essays and prototypes illustrating how interactive, graphical thinking can enhance understanding and even creation.

Imagine our editors doing this by default, what it would mean for documentation, code quality and enhancing our ability to understand and communicate these concepts with augmented code.
Depends what you call a better idea. You know surely as much as me that we engineer will propose maybe better concept but would lack possibly in sales acument, value production vs cost, market timing, optimal quality (sometimes a client really doesnt care about a quality increment at all, while you could have spent your time on something else more rewarding), etc.

It's fine, company work as symbiotic systems, we create a certain tension, others focused on other dimensions will counter balance, and a good company will find ways to reach optimums rather than maximums.

> ...or you can get vaccinated first?

Although the CDC has decided to stop counting them, breakthrough infections and even death are common among the vaccinated. There's not going to be a point where we don't need to worry about treatment unless the virus is going to go away like the Spanish flu once enough people are immune.

> And I do hope you were lucky enough to stockpile it beforehand, because you'd better not be going out too often with such a test result....

It's pretty clear from this that you have never looked into how ivermectin was used in certain Indian states or in Chiapas, where local officials readied pre-made kits which could be distributed to high risk people and those who tested positive. This would be easy enough to do in the US if we could shift the thinking on Covid away from "you have to wait until you're gasping for breath at the hospital to start any treatment other than acetaminophen."

Do you feel similarly about lockdowns being "useless" given their demonstrated inability to fully eliminate spread of the virus, and the lack of any large RCTs in support of them? I mean, I see all the same arguments made in their favor: "you have to do them early enough, you have to pair them with such-and-such other NPIs, etc"
A corollary of Moores Law: the size of things you can run Doom on halves roughly every two years.
That's probably why they aren't banning / enforcing it. I mean have a referee check a pitcher's hands / gloves and seal the balls until use, and check it afterwards.

I'm not going to say you're wrong, but you are making assumptions that don't necessary apply to me.

I don't generally do huge whiteboarding sessions with the whole team. Typically I write detailed technical documentation about what I'm trying to achieve, and how I think it should be done, which I share with the team who are implementing it.

It's typically only when they don't understand something that I jump on the whiteboard. And it's typically the more junior people that don't understand things.

It's not that I love huge, didactic whiteboarding sessions; I don't. What I do enjoy is explaining ideas in small whiteboard sessions with just one or two other people, or with small teams who have specific questions, and I feel that these sessions are much more productive in person than they are remotely.
