Another solution that I've used successfully in the past for web apps is to set a 10s cookie every time a user performs a write, and then route their read requests to the lead server until that cookie expires. That way they're sure to see the impact of the write they just made.
It literally also just doesn't make sense. In order for your car to actually accelerate a meaningful amount to "dodge" an accident it would have to be VERY powerful, and most likely naturally aspirated. I have a GTI with 230hp but it has enough turbo lag that if you aren't already halfway into the throttle it won't go anywhere in the time it takes for the accident to occur, never mind adding onto that the time it takes the human brain to realize something is going on and think through that moving forward would actually improve the situation. There's a reason why race car drivers have rules about how you should drive around other cars, in an attempt to PREVENT dangerous situations instead of expecting fallible humans to always do the perfect thing in dangerous situations.

It's the same thinking that people who carry guns around all day do. They think they're the protagonist in an action movie, that they can hero their way through any problem, and any limit to that is a violation of their rights.

You can apply public punctation model from Vosk on top of Kaldi output, you can also get speaker labels with existing open source software.

On quick video transcription test this model is more accurate than AssemblyAI and Rev AI. It will be harder for them to sell pure ASR now. Some more business-oriented applications will still be important though, for example ASR as part of callcenter analytics solution or as a part of medical ERP system.

The value of automatic summarization is small, without AI it is very hard to make it right, you need to be an expert in the field to understand what is important.
Ohhh good callout.

I also wonder if getty wins this will spur the creation of a new army of artists to manually create facsimiles of existing art expressly for the purpose of AI training.

This seems like a great time to bring up "Why Static Languages Suffer From Complexity"[1], which explains the "statics-dynamics biformity" that leads to languages like TypeScript that are actually two languages: the runtime one and the compile-time type-system one.

Seems like I’ve ruffled a few feathers and ended up -2 on my previous comment here, not clear what rule I violated but that’s beside the point.

I have a suggestion: take these findings and send them to your direct report and their direct report too (or whoever the appropriate party is in your organization). You’ve spotted some major issues and I think your organization would benefit from your insights. Include the names of the specific underperformers to establish credibility, and so that the appropriate parties can observe and take action to benefit the team.

These operational insights are too valuable to languish on an anonymous forum.
This is another example of why eBooks cannot be considered anything more than temporary.
I honestly think you have it in reverse. If you and your community are poor, the only way to survive is through cooperation. The folks that didn't participate? You don't see them because they didn't survive.

So yes, you see cooperative behaviors in the poorest of communities. Because other behaviors at that income level are incompatible with life!
I've seen a lot of confidence on HN and other tech communities that a court would never rule that training an AI on copyrighted images is infringement, but I'm not so sure.

Indeed and your examples are intended to point to gray areas. But a much more problematic (for the user) example is: some Dall-E-like program spits out seemingly original images but 0.1% are visibly near duplicates of copyrighted images and these form the basis of a lawsuit that costs someone a lot of money. Copyright in general tends to use the concept provenance - knowing the sequence of authors and processes that went into the creation of the object [1] and naturally AI makes this impossible.

The AI training sequence either muddies the waters hopeless or creates a situation where the trainer is liable to everyone who created the data. And I don't think the question will answered just once. The thing to consider is that anyone can just create an "AI" that just spits out stock images (which is obviously a copyright violation) and so the court would have to look at detailed involved and neither the court nor the AI creator would want that at all.

Something being possible to do isn't enough evidence for rational people to believe that it happened. From my perspective, it's possible that you're Iron Mike Tyson, or that you died after your last comment and this one was posted by the assassin who killed you.
Task and Purpose has some discussion by a former USMC Lt Colonel who now works for the RAND corporation as an analyst.[1]

“It won’t be pretty, it won’t be efficient, but they’re going to be able to find the people. I think the more relevant issue is: How capable and ready are they going to be — not very. How much training are they willing to give them before they send them out to the front lines. Right now, the indications are — the way they’ve pumped units into Ukraine — is not a lot and certainly not enough.”

This is a classic Russian style of warfare. Throw conscripts into battle. The survivors will become good soldiers or die.

Usually countries do this when they're being invaded, desperate, and fighting on their own territory with the support of the locals. It's rare to see it for a country that's the attacker and is operating in hostile territory. That takes a lot more training, organization, and support.

This can go on for a long time. Russia does not have enough power to conquer Ukraine, and Ukraine does not have enough power to conquer Russia. But they can fight for years.

This can go on until Putin dies.

To play the GM's in that event, you have to qualify through some earlier events. And open tournaments are nothing new. They are usually played by the Swiss system, which means you play each round against an opponent whose current score in the tournament is the same as yours. That means the most suspenseful games are in the last round, between the players with the highest scores. That tends to mean GM vs GM, since to be at that scoring level you first have to beat a string of regular masters, IM's, and so on. It's not that simple. (This explanation though is slightly simplified vs the real world details).

I don't think this is right. I think different people have different views, and you're just assuming that the same people have contradictory views.
> 140B you cite is mainly the Fed buying bonds from Treasury?

The Fed isn't allowed to buy bonds from the Treasury [1]. The $140bn refers to bonds the Fed is letting mature without reinvesting the proceeds. That leads to fewer dollars chasing Treasuries, which reduces their price, which raises rates.

Ants are tiny. 100 grams of seeds is enough to feed a small ant family for a whole year.
No, the big difference is write speed. SQLite is limited in the amount of writes it can do at the same time(typically 1). This is generally called "concurrent writes". Last I checked SQLite can't really get past 1 write at the same time, but it can emulate concurrent writes in WAL mode such that it isn't normally a problem, for most applications. Postgres has no such limit(though there can be limits to updating a particular row/column of data concurrently, obviously).

Otherwise both are generally limited to the physical resources of the machine(memory, disk, etc). Generally speaking you can scale boxes much much farther than your data size for most applications.
> I think it's important to remember that it's hard out there these days. A life of crime may not be the only option available, but it becomes more and more appealing as access to education or training gets more difficult to afford

No, no. It is a very discriminatory view.
Many very rich people are criminals.
I'm from a very poor neighborhood, from a third world country.
Many of my friends got into crime and died. Many more are hardworking, in my experience it is easier to find a criminal who was born rich than a criminal who was born poor .
I don't have much formal education. But using books that was going to waste, I learned programming, etc.
And Today it is much easier to learn ANYTHING.

> Dehumanizing criminals is a very privileged way of approaching the world.
What we have here is a child who was failed by society.

It's not Dehumanization. Someone works hard, buys something after years of work and gets robbed overnight. When someone defends the criminal in the first place, he is ignoring the guy who suffered without doing absolutely anything to deserve it. It's normal to hate the criminal.

And the poor hate criminals. Defending criminals is a very privileged way of approaching the world.

I am not a favor to kill criminals, etc. But sometimes when you get what you're looking for. And defending very bad behavior is not good for anyone, neither the boy nor society.
I think you may have gotten the wrong impression about why I brought up Chesteron's Fence. It's not about blindly following a process; it's about understanding what risk the process is trying to mitigate.

“If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

This means somebody needs to first understand the reasoning behind it. If, as in your example, that rationale no longer holds, getting rid of that step is perfectly inline with the principle. I would argue that if somebody truly understood the process there would be no issue with changing it.
Thank you for the long response,

About experience, the thing is I don't have any... and I don't know how to get my foot into the door to get some. Any tips?
hmm but unemployment rate is rock bottom. Under a rational expectations framework, the layoffs in anticipation of higher interest rates should have occurred 3-6 months ago. Also, unemployment was low in the 90s despite high interest rates.
>And it doesn't matter when you when one was born (at least not directly). "Since 2006" means no one served 2 years since 2006. Not "only those born after 2006".

Seriously? Lets assume you were born in 1980. Its 1998, you just celebrated 18 birthday and found military service notice in the mail. How long would you serve?

The fed "printed" a shitton of money during Covid, dismissed all inflation concerns, and now, two years later, we're facing record inflation. I'd say there is a good chance that it does in fact affect inflation

For one, currencies are issued and backed by sovereign nations generally, and recognized as legal tender somewhere. USDT is not on either count, as far as I am aware.

It might technically count as a ‘crypto ecosystem currency’ since it is often used to exchange value between different chains/coins/exchanges. But it is very difficult to convert to a recognized currency, so a lot of folks also get unknowingly stuck with it thinking they have dollars. There is a reason USDT is the ticker they pushed for, not TETH or whatever.
That is the explicit goal.
I see a lot of hate being thrown on Russian civilians in these forums. That’s clearly racist. And the allies (ie the US) never cared about fascists. They had business relations with each other for quite some time.

The denazification wasn’t a moral duty. But a smart thing to do, to defang your enemy when they were defeated. Americans thought they were de-baathifying Iraq. When that blew up in their face, they unanimously agreed that it was a mistake, even though the Baath party actions were quite evil.

Europeans have a cultural tendency to create moralistic almost religious justification for war and conquest. Whether it is the white man’s burden, or now denazification. It is used to squash internal dissent. And that’s fine. You need to whip up your peasants into joining your crusade, in one way or another. But the story crumbles when it’s exported across the world.

The rest of the world has no reason to sympathise with actions that might trigger a nuclear war in Europe. I used to think that European leaders understand that and it’s OK for Ukrainians to idly dream of wrecking great vengeance on Russia. But now, I’m not so sure.
> will it be fair of US government to ask money back in small chunks from people who got it during Covid lock-downs?

This is taxation. Raising taxes reduces inflation in the same way fiscal spending prods it.
At the point that Russia starts calling normal people to service, that's the point where he starts losing the population. The vast majority of people don't want to fight in a war. They may believe his lies for the sake of an easy life but if their life is suddenly on the line then it becomes a different story. I think a lot of people will now try to leave Russia to avoid the possibility of military service and that will be a tipping point.
No they wouldn't. Getty and its ilk would go to court and try to argue that they owned the concept of a portrait photograph if they could get away with it. They won't be able to produce specific images that match generated ones well enough to impress a jury at the emotional level. their abstract arguments about mdel constructions won't land because they're too abstract and frankly, boring; the defense will just bore a jury slightly less by putting some neural network nerd on the stand to say the opposite and the jury will shrug and go with its gut.
The only difference on rtp between settings in the new rtp setting for Germany. Even this is not configurable by the operator.

I would be surprised if this were true, kindly list the providers which do that, I will be happy to eat my words.
Very interesting. So historically, it appears that the FED balance sheet reserves is 25% of GDP. I wonder what it is for other countries. Especially rapidly developing ones.
Missing context? That came after a list of concerns and what-ifs about putting Rust in the kernel. Not an endorsement but also not a backhanded compliment, like you made it sound like with your cherry-picking.
Fiscal policy is not in the Fed’s charter. They are independent from the rest of the federal government and only control monetary policy. Adjusting taxes isn’t a tool in their toolbox.

As for congress, raising taxes is wildly unpopular with a large portion of the country. It takes a lot more political capital to make changes there.
I think I was definitely confusing it with Litestream as the blog post made reference to it (and I did find that confusing).

That said, unless I've misunderstood the LifeFS use case, you're still going over the network to reach a node, and that node is still going through a FUSE filesystem. That would seem to create overhead comparable (potentially more significant) to talking to a Postgres database hosted on a remote node.

It just doesn't seem that obvious that there's a big performance win here. I'd be curious to see the profiling data behind this.

I was pretty impressed with Yandex when I was in Russia. The maps were far better and the image translations faster and more accurate than Google. Maybe its because they have access to better local data, but it definitely felt like a well-engineered product suite.
> I'm somewhat on thin ice on the mathetematical formulation, but I suppose something could be undecidable but true with respect to all standard models of a theory, while not true for some non-standard model.

The term "standard model" is interesting, because it pushes the problem a bit. So, let us take the natural numbers. Sure, we can prove in set theory that some of the undecided statements of Peano arithmetic are true for the standard model. But seen from the outside this means that we have changed our axiomatic system from Peano arithmetic to set theory. But there are still undecided statements – even arithmetic ones – in this new system! These will hold in some models of set theory, while being false in some other.

So, saying “Oh, I mean the standard ℕ, not any of those other ones” does not get us off the hook, because it raises the question: “The standard ℕ... in which model of ZF?”

Curious how this model compares with foss STT from the startup Coqui.
Yea I didn't want to imply that they could replace him. Or that they even aspire to that. It's more that Putin is losing the narrative. As long as people believe in his strong Russia, they are much easier to govern. As he's losing that story, he has to govern by fear. Much harder, because people will be weasely, instead of proud.

In the end, aside from talking to a bunch of Russians, I don't know the place. So my understanding is incomplete I'm sure.
I had literally never thought of this in any way. I've just finished reading two papers: one which shows that net-investment isn't really correlated to savings or interest rates which exactly supports your position (with data!); and, a second which shows that the ratio of old-to-young people is an incredibly good predictor of interest rates (with data!).

You're both right? I suspect that means there must be a third option.
