FWIW, it's not quite a model of your voice.

The way it works is, a model is trained of all possible voices. Then your specific voice is projected into latent space.

That's why it can mimic your voice with only a few seconds of audio. It's not making a model, but rather using an existing model.

It may seem like a pedantic distinction, but it's why the model isn't as worrisome as it seems. It can't target you specifically, just the average voice near yours.

It's closer to a really talented parrot than a model that can impersonate you on command. I suspect if you try it out, you'll be surprised it's so far off from your actual voice.
If it’s still built on canvas, doesn’t that mean something about the state of web layout.
I use Levocabastine whenever my eyes are itchy due to an allergic reaction. Can be used daily AFAIK.
That's got to be among the worst ideas I've ever seen.

Without taking side to which is superior.

Typesetting something to a beforehand known format is radically different problem to a beforehand unknown format.
Maybe that still means there is larger issue in the system anyway?
Interesting question, which will correct spelling or pronunciation... Coming from language that has almost perfect mapping between the two English never made any sense to me. And I think it is clearly field that should be fixed in either way.
Nope. A feature branch is still expected to have meaningful commits, and is usually used for collaboration between several coders. Its history doesn't get rewritten.

What OP describes is a temporary work branch that belongs to a single person, and has a bunch of meaningless commits. So nobody else should be using it - or if they do, they need to sync with the owner, since the latter can squash or otherwise mutate commits at any time.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're outdated on this point. Researchers & politicians of repute use Twitter to voice their opinion and share stuff with the public.
I just noticed even the goobers at GitHub break the back button when you click a project link too. I don't know why people champion this brand when they have dark patterns and shoehorn 'social' functions into the proprietary platform.
> What would stop a sybil-style attack of one bad actor reviewing a given article thousands of times?

We could make it an energy consumption competition? Consume the energy output of a small town for a year and the authors can trust that adding that comma into the opening sentence is the correct editorial decision to make
I guess going for sun/moon comparison (frontend/backend). Also sun being the known and moon being the unknown?
A couple handfuls, maybe a couple dozen? Seems not that hard to keep something like that quiet, especially when everyone involved would be strongly incentivized not to admit to being party to something like this.

Not saying it's true, but I don't think "they couldn't keep this a secret" is a particularly compelling rebuttal here.
> It seems astounding that other species have not evolved this adaptation to outcompete for light, space, and water by starting at the top.

I'm surprised by this sentence. At least Northern Rātā, and I'm sure other epiphyte species, do this.
There is a rather interesting exposition paper put out yesterday by Helfgott: "EXPANSION, DIVISIBILITY AND PARITY: AN EXPLANATION" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.00799.pdf

Have only scanned it, but it seems well motivated and readable.
Strawman. He's not advocating perfect justice. He raises awareness to something that I also found gut wrenching when reading the article: investors (super rich) mattered, commoners did not.

Calling that "pragmatic prosecutors made pragmatic decisions"... Well. You do you.
If they haven't cared enough to fix their mess of pulling half dozen or more sources, why should I care to follow the mess...
Despite this being true, it is important that people are prosecuted for the "all" the wrongs they did and not just the "easy" ones. It isn't much of a justice system if you can get away with "hard to prosecute" crimes.
I'm confused then, you're saying you can render light without a ray?
With SSDs and quiet fans you don't hear when your computer is thrashing or when a process got out of control. You only notice when it is too late and when you use an app it slows to a crawl. Sometimes so bad that hard rebooting is faster than waiting for the app to quit. I had this a couple of times recently on Windows with Outlook or Firefox. A decade ago I regularly had this on Mac, haven't used one in a while but I guess it is rarer there.
The *.small-web.com thing rubs me the wrong way, going entirely against the stated purpose: https://you.small-web.com is only a little better than https://mega.corp/you, because you still don’t own your home. You do probably have more control of what goes there, but you’re still far too liable to be cut off with no recourse. You don’t actually control it. Just wait until people start hosting malware on small-web.com and the domain gets blacklisted, or when some error in curbing abuse takes you down as well, or when people abusing any free service provided becomes too much of a trial for the maintainers and they shut the whole project down. That’s what normally happens to these things, more than with some, though certainly not all, larger things (e.g. I’d depend on github.io not being shut down far more than small-web.com).

Step one in the Small Web must be to have your own domain name. Then you can migrate between hosting providers, host it on a Raspberry Pi in your garage if your home ISP allows such things, or whatever.

(I’m glossing over the fact that even when it’s https://your.site, as they include in one other illustration in the article, with the adjacent caption “on the Small Web, you own your own home”, you don’t own your home, but lease it—though so long as you pick a sensible TLD, keep paying, and don’t do anything particularly illegal in whatever jurisdictions are relevant, you’re very unlikely to lose it.)
My thoughts exactly. The IndieWeb community has been around for some time.

This article has been discussed before, and people familiar with IndieWeb made the same point back then. [0] The author responded [1] but in my opinion it was weak sauce.

Also, IndieWeb is a much better label than small web.

am I the only one that think that the proposed solutions feels like late '90s/early 2000s with table layouts?
Which in exchange makes you easier to understand in most of the world. I have this with "rare" - such a problematic word for a slavic person and even if you nail it, non-native speakers may not get you. So it's better to actually say it with your mother tongue accent.

"Rare" can often be substituted by "seldom", but that doesn't work very well in restaurants. I like my steak medium-well anyway.
Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I asked gwern to mirror the liberated pdf, since his /docs/ folder will probably be around a lot longer than me. https://www.gwern.net/docs/index There's a lot of neat stuff in there.

By the way, if any of you happen to run into paywalled pdfs, try posting the paywall link to https://reddit.com/r/scholar. It's surprising how often (and how quickly) that gets you the pdf.
Out of curiosity, why do you need to use "margin-left: auto" when working with flexbox items? What is it that you're trying to do, which can't be solved with "justify-content" and "align-items"?
The visuals may have been too good. I was expecting some Expanse level space stuff when I saw their ship. Instead, their lander detached from their rocket while in orbit and... began to fall?
I do a combination of the two: the first commit gets a meaningful (but still draft) message, and their follow-ups are all committed with "." as a message - but only until "switching gears", i.e. until a commit comes that is logically separate from the bunch before it. Those commits that have messages then provide logical milestones for squashing.

This breaks down sometimes if you have to switch back and forth between different parts of code, breaking the linear sequence. But even then, the messages make it easier to connect the pieces when it's time to clean up history before the pull request.
I read a lot of criticism on guides like these. And that makes me wonder, am I the only one that thinks that the 'inclusive' language is simply more clearer?

* blocklist/blacklist, I find blocklist clearer because it does what it says. Same for whitelist

* master/main, same as above, main describes it's function more accurately.

Regarding the genger wording, I have memories as a child where I was confused because for some reason, only the boys where adressed. Not thinking it through, I simply assumed that was intentional. And thus, if a teacher said 'boys, lets go that way!' I would be arguing with the girls since I thought they where not supposed to follow along.

Of course, this is not the case for ALL proposed inclusive language. I simply notice that most of the time, the inclusive alternative is a lot clearer.
Yes and no? In theory, the American government is "for the people, by the people", a feature not at all shared by the Chinese government. So actions taken by the American government should be the will of at least a majority of Americans.

(Of course, the reality is a bit different; the American government is run by people largely in the pockets of special-interest groups and lobbyists. But we'd like to think democracy works as well as we'd like...)
As an american resident, I feel less safe being healed in USA after yesterday's judgement.
Healthcare should not be just business.
Food additives, sugar and the obesity crisis, a list of 1,300 chemicals used in cosmetics, the Vioxx scandal, the opioids crisis and more generally the drug situation, the cost of healthcare, tanking life expectancy...
The list is long on why "healthcare is just business" is not working.
In comparison to Morrowind though, it's nothing.
Orchest | Front-end Engineer | The Netherlands | Full-Time | Remote (UTC +-3)

Orchest lets data scientists focus on what matters. It’s our mission to free data science teams from infrastructure tasks and complexity. We make the data platform team obsolete by automating the plumbing and making it easy to work in a cloud native way as a data scientist.

Today, we’re focused on drastically simplifying how batch data science pipelines are built by focusing on intuitive abstractions, seamless integration of the canonical open source data science stack (e.g. Jupyter notebook support), and single-click productionization.

To that end we’re looking for a Front-end/TypeScript Engineer that will help us develop the user facing parts. Are you someone that gets excited thinking about combining a clean React based component hierarchy, TypeScript, Web Workers, and CRDT sync to create a perfect user experience?

We raised ($4M+) from top investors like Gradient Ventures (Google) and Basis Set Ventures (SF-based AI & ML fund). In addition, we're a fully remote company (team of 8) with async communication to allow everyone to get into flow state and do their best work.

More details about our open source project can be found here: https://github.com/orchest/orchest or check out our AngelList listing https://angel.co/company/orchest/jobs/1690887-front-end-engi...

Interested? Reach out to me at rick@orchest.io.

I once soldered wires directly to the pads on a microSD to SD card adapter and, through a level shifter and managed to use my Arduino Uno to save text (GPS readouts) on microSD cards. I think even if more advanced storage comes along, SD cards will still be desirable for the simplicity and backwards compatibility.

Nice article. Not everything is an expression in rust as the author mentioned though.
The only compelling reason is to give broader and cheaper access to past works. If you don’t find that compelling then I don’t know what to tell you. What’s the compelling argument for them to exist as is?

The big extensions came in the mid-70s and late 90s, well within living memory. According to your own link they nearly doubled the average duration and pushed it over 100 years.
IP is not property. If you put your chair on display, then yes, people should¹ have a right to make a similar chair and copy and share ad infinitum, but taking the original chair itself would be a no-no. It's not a good comparison.

To take thing further, there are various takes on personal property, with broad acceptance that yes, personal property should (gradually) revert to the public (taxes), otherwise very bad things happen (see inequality). Some societies do not have personal property beyond some personal items. Property/ownership has vast negative consequences (exacerbating greed, poverty, starvation, mass suffering; many wars are fought for property), though I'd agree it is in many ways better than alternatives, especially if the state and taxation dulls some of the sharp edges.

¹ By default. We may argue to what extent some restrictions may be reasonable as an imperfect way to achieve a certain goal.

Yeah, Agile really ruined development for me. It's like it's just endless sprints. It seems like productivity and project management are the focus, instead of building software.

Flaw of Averages (2002)
Senior / Lead React Front-end Developer

* Location: Europe

* Remote: Yes

* Willing to relocate: No

* Technologies: React, TypeScript, CSS-in-JS, UI/UX Design

* Résumé/CV: http://metamn.io/

* Email: bartus.csongor@gmail.com

I'm looking for a job preferably at the intersection of UI/UX design and front-end development: design systems, component libraries, even design.

I have a degree in Computer Science and design works featured in online galleries.

In the last 15 years I've been designing and developing websites and applications. From back-end to front-end, from architecture design to UI/UX design, on various stacks.

I can be helpful in a couple of ways:

* Designer / Developer communications

* Design Engineering

* Productivity framework / best practices automation for front-end teams

* Product design / full-stack development for smaller companies
Mod authors like having feedback and recognition on their own work, which might get lost if their mod becomes part of a whole big mod pack.
I'm not suggesting the layout shouldn't be included at all. There's nothing wrong with including a default for the component - as a stylesheet in "examples" or something. The point is that layout shouldn't be a part of the component itself. The beauty of CSS is that it makes doing that absolutely trivial.
A good place to be right now is in the logistics industry - a necessity that isn’t going away any time soon. And with the current logistics supply shortage in the USA (specifically for trucking companies) it won’t be hard to compete and start delivering shipments.

With 500K you can afford to buy several freight trucks. All you would need is 3-5 trucks to start turning over real profit. The rest of the employees can be dispatchers. The trick here is finding drivers as they are in high demand. Dispatchers are easily trained.

I’ve bootstrapped a similar logistics business with less than $10,000 USD and had good success within the first 60 days. Licenses and certifications can be done in 2-3 days and is a fast way to have a business fully certified and up and running.
Web styling is not useless, it’s just fucked up. The article has no hope to change that (neither do we) and tries to find a balance.

In a better world, margins would work in a block context (where paragraphs live) but not in flex/grid ones, which take layout in their hands. Another context could be called “constraints-based”, which would space its children relatively, like A.r + 10px <= B.l; B.r = this.r - 10px. Children would expose their preferred margins, which these layout contexts could take or not take into account.

Most semiconductor/electronics companies are not at all remote friendly, in the way you'd imagine, since, like you said, their core business is lab centered and focused on selling products you have to physically interact with, unlike the pure SW industry.

Some are however, remote friendly in the way that they do offer WFH options, but that means you live around the office/HQ for legal and security reasons and can WFH every now and then, with the agreemant that you have to show up at the office when required, not you get employed form anywhere in the world you happen to reside in and keep working from your living room, that's a no-go from the start for any established company in the semi field.

Also, most of them believe in a culture where shoulder-to-shoulder collaboration is key to development success and innovation, and having worked in the industry I have to agree. When the industry was forced remote kicking and screaming in 2020 "thanks" to Covid, morale and junior onboarding suffered a lot since the whole processes and culture was built on decades of shoulder-to-shoulder work where the only way to learn was, besides the necessary years in academia, to hang around seasoned graybeards and get your hands dirty with them vs self study with Googling the answers on stack overflow, so this process couldn't (management also didn't want to) suddenly uproot it and convert it to fully remote.

Basically, a material scientist, optics engineer or physicist would be at the core of the main money making products (lithography machines) and therefore be way more valued than SW devs which tend to be treated more as cost center in this industry (in general but can't speak for ASML), so if you like being at the core of the product and be treated like a rockstar, then I'd stay in the SW industry and avoid the semi industry all together (I worked 7 years as a dev in semi, before leaving it for good for the SW industry, but the graybeards I worked with in analog design with deep domain knowledge in RF were making bank and were pampered like rockstars, whereas SW and FW devs were treated like replaceable cogs that could be easily offshored without any losses).

Boy, that site is awful on an iPad. The margins are so wide, it’s like reading a pencil.

I was watching a documentary, awhile back, that said the first flowering plants were underwater plants. I don’t remember the exact age. That indicates that the idea that flowering plants started underwater, isn’t new.

Another fairly recent (geologically) plant, is grass. Whenever you see artistic depictions of dinosaurs, grazing in fields of grass, it’s not really accurate. I think ferns may have filled the “ground cover” niche, back then.
No, you seem to be mixing things. To clear things up:

Proof of Stake:

> class of consensus mechanisms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_stake - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_(computer_science)

Peer review:

> evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/peer

Peer Review doesn't require people to have any stake in the outcome they propose, while in PoS they (obviously) do, as the protocol is based around the idea of stakes (surprise!).
If the military wants something, and you want the same thing, is that a problem?
~I'm not sure about the semantics, but the type would allow that, yes.~

Edit:

fn scatter(&self, ray: &Ray, hit_record: &HitRecord) -> Option<(Option<Ray>, Srgb)>

The function takes a `Ray` as input, so you cannot render light without a ray. The return value might be one of the cases listed above.

The `None` case might be something like a black hole: a ray hits the object and nothing happens.

The `Some((None, Srgb))` case would be a non-reflective surface, it changes the color if hit by a ray but does not reflect the ray further.

The `Some((Some(Ray), Srgb))` case would be a reflective surface, that changes the color and reflects the ray.

Again not sure about the exact semantics and I didn't read the blog post yet, but that would be my guess.
I don’t believe 1 infers 2.

Sounds like allergies. Carpets are your enemy, get those out of there. There are certain types of carpets that are better than others but in general they all capture allergens.

You can have blood work done to find out what she's allergic to. They'll probably start with the obvious ones like pollen and animals.

I'm allergic to pollen, cats and dogs.

Summers are a mix of awful and sunshine, but I get through them with regular antihistamines.

I actually own a dog, which is fine as long as I clean the apartment every week, have almost no carpets and take care of the dogs fur and skin.

But my allergies show themselves in more ways than just the eyes. I'd say the eyes are the last sign. The first sign is itching of the throat, sneezing and a runny nose.
What exactly is the alternative? This reads like a criticism of capitalism. If there is a better way, prove it.
