the canonical way is reaching out to anyone in your work history that you had any sort of positive working relationship with. i just went through this exercise and saw a tip in a similar thread to ask something like this in the email, “do you know anyone who is looking for contractors?” this way you don’t create a potentially awkward situation for them where they have to say they can’t hire you. and, in my case, this led to referrals that ultimately ended up in signed contracts.

there are sites online, like the whoishiring threads here. i’m running https://hourly.fyi/jobs/
I wrote a children's book yesterday, I just need to plug sections of text into stable diffusion and I'll be ready to publish.

AI definitely falls into the category of business people asking me to use it in our technology.

A couple of weeks ago I had to write out how we could leverage AI/ML in our software in spite of the fact that we have a mountain of problems that they aren't a good fit for to get through first.

The last time I remember the business trying to force specific technologies into products like this was the blockchain craze of around 2017.
OK but that is not actually how US factory farming operates. They are almost universally factories of extraordinary animal suffering, where broken or sick animals are discarded like trash (smashed, shot, thrown in a dumpster to die, etc).

I think it's likely that even the most terribly mistreated lab animal has a better quality of life and death than the average US foodstock chicken.

It's not explicit, but from the descriptions it seems to suggest it's performing recognition of the audio streams of what's being sung, and even supports dual streams for duets.

So I wouldn't be surprised if it relies on a particular hardware chip that the older Apple TV simply doesn't have. That has definitely been the case for everything Apple has launched with regards to Spatial Audio.
The why is presumably "there are a million trees with these things, how can we eat them". The how has a number of equally "we will never know" theories, all of which make some kind of sense =P
Very few people are actually good at this - some might think they are. Whenever The Q&A parts of a talk are normally useless. E.g. Question is asked.

I had a hard time understanding what they are offering as well and came here to find out. Is this for people in the same room? If so, maybe some vague reference to karaoke is merited. Is it for sharing with other people over the internet?

edit: ultimately I could care less (but not by much) about using it; I am just curious about what they offer and how they compete.

Damn, it's almost like the world is deeply complex and interconnected, and being literally so poor you can't afford electricity and books will inevitably pollute any "unbiased metric", you try to create.
Graham will always defend founders "deserving" their wealth, as if it is some technical argument rather than a political one.

It's an entirely subjective point. If a solo founder with some very powerful machinery (cloud, AI) produces a lot of economical value, it's quite questionable to attribute that value solely to the human being pushing the button.

Even more so when that human has exclusive access to the key input for the machine: capital. Somehow all investment capital has ended up in the hands of about 100 people, which is then gatekept and redistributed to founders "advancing society" with unfortunate side effect it producing even more money for the people that can't seem to get rid of it.

Surely that starting point, that capital concentration, is justified based on pure merit and brilliance, these people being a 100.000 times smarter than the average person? Or was it because they were insiders of the financial system, riding the bust and booms of our perverted stock market whilst producing zero tangible value?

As for the point of labor, you operate machinery largely based on open source. For which you will not pay a cent whilst said open source maintainers can barely make ends meet and instead of praise, gets lemons. As for your fancy AI model, you trained it on other people's labor, and again refuse to compensate. And yet still you dare to claim that all this value produced is yours to keep.

As for "advancing society", we can take a clue from China. They concluded that whilst SV for sure pumps around a lot of money, it's frankly a joke. Tech that produces addiction and ads, undermines employees (Uber, food delivery), externalizing all negatives to society as "people that add value" tend to do. So China killed most of the sector and refocuses on serious tech. Tech focusing on actual human needs. Supply chain, health, mobility, infrastructure. I know, weird concept.

Bottom line, if I were a filthy rich founder, I'd totally shut up about it and hope nobody notices.

Show HN: Export ChatGPT conversations as GitHub gists
Made a bookmarklet for sharing ChatGPT logs as gists. It has markdown support so it can render tables, code blocks, and all the usual formatting (except maybe footnotes).

It was pretty tricky finding the right selectors to use as the UI is just full of React div-soup with zero semantic meaning. I eventually settled on some CSS classes that work well for now, but that might change at any time in the future. No guarantee of stability :)

One thing it's missing right now is code highlighting -- I haven't had the time to translate the language names from hljs -> markdown.

As for implementation, assuming the author's public key is posted, public missives will have something like GnuPG short codes. Maybe Base64.

Extra points for registering (logging) these short codes somewhere? A rolling hash log (sorry, spacing the actual name) is probably sufficient. Like a git repo for one's blog.

Since a16z and other usual suspects are hyping Web3, I haven't bothered to learn about it. I just assume it's probably overkill, vapor, some kind of grift.
The solution obviously is to coat the speaker in diamond.
Similar to management roles in the armed forces - those on the ground have to make split second decisions based on the latest information they have to hand. Getting it wrong usually has fatal consequences and it takes a certain personality trait to continue making those decisions.
Why would you expect the price on a DEX to differ from the price on a CEX? Any substantial price difference would immediately be closed by arbitrage.
It's true, I know the guy. He's an outlier for sure, but he exists. Moreover, he moved from the toughest FAANG to more relaxed ones.
Thanks! I'll look into Lutris.
this is true. Augur is not a success story. It's a story of mismanagement, legal "embezzlement" of tens of millions of dollars due to lack of legal safeguards, and squandering of the opportunity to build a truly great prediction market platform.
I would suggest that empirically it's pretty much everybody. Almost nobody is entirely masculine or feminine. And it seems to me that the world would be a better place if we recognised that for everybody not just those who especially struggle with a world that places us into binary categories.
> so I'd expect an effective tax rate of around 15%. That 100k€ gross will turn into 85k€ after taxes.

Your calculus is far far from reality so your further reasoning is therefore flawed from the very start. 4-4.5k EUR is probably more realistic.

Moreover, property prices around EU are generally speaking anywhere from 3k EUR to 15k EUR per sqm. For a 100sqm home that's 300k EUR for the cheapest one, 700-800k EUR as a median and more expensive ones over a 1M EUR. Even with the 90-th percentile salary such as 4k EUR per month (after tax), how exactly do you envision buying a home with that sort of prices?

Software engineers are being grossly underpaid in Europe and all this recurring bullshit around housing prices, living costs etc. is just a bullshit that capitalist companies will spread to convince people such as yourself to start considering your colleagues as a "threat" and not just human beings who want to be paid what they are deserved.

My purchasing power, even with the 90-th percentile salary in EU, is _nowhere_ near the purchasing power I'd have with the same skills I have if I had lived in the US and that's where all the discussion can stop. If we take some of the other European countries as an example that gap is going to be even much larger. Purchasing power coefficients are a real thing you know.
One of the example applications proposes to stimulate patterns of neurons in visual cortex to produce vision. To even get to the point where you can train a monkey to detect phosphenes, Neuralink had to (a) develop a way of producing flexible electrodes that would measure activity from a single neuron, were robust enough to be implanted, would survive the punishing in-vivo environment, and retain their ability to measure and stimulate for long periods of time (none of those steps can be adequately done in in vitro models). (b) They then had to make sure that their robot could implant them to the proper depth (despite brain movement), and that during implantation they could maintain connection to the interface system. (c) They had to build a ASIC that would capture a 1000 of channels of neural data and wirelessly transmit them, while ensuring that the SNR was sufficient for use (again, no in vitro model). (d) They had to test the encapsulation of the ASIC to make sure that it, too, could survive in vivo.

They could certainly have done all these things serially, but it would have taken a lot longer. In the end, where they are is still far from a useful product - they have monkeys that can see phosphenes, they have electrodes that last 1 year, and they have a reasonable ASIC - but compared to the academic timescale, where we've been working on these individual pieces 1 PhD (6 years) at a time, they've made really remarkable progress.

It would be nice if they did an update that allowed you to turn off the ARG and modified ending that were used to promote Portal 2. The music from all the extra radios lying around clashes with the atmosphere and ambient soundtrack.
>Our requirements for the app were: to be lightweight and fast, in other words, use as little CPU cycles and memory as possible. [...] For the GUI, we chose the Tauri platform on which we built a React frontend. Tauri reuses an already installed browser on your system.

Ah, yes, that's one way to "use as little CPU cycles and memory as possible" for sure.
This is a fun semantic game but Profits are not the cost of doing business. When you have an employee sign a contract for $X dollars per year, that's a cost. Conflating Revenue and Profit for the sake of an argument is bad faith.

My Assumption here is that the common usage of profit is, "Money after all expenses paid", which employee compensation is clearly outside of that definition.
We're talking about GE and their efforts to turn a big, inefficient company into smaller, more efficient companies. In that sense, this ad campaign is already an overwhelming success.
+1 to the confused question

What are we trying to test? That isn't clear so it's impossible to actually know how to follow up.

In this case "did not respond" could be perfectly sufficient, but we couldn't possibly know because all we know is:

"The questionnaire included topics on student life, academics, and athletics."
It's already bad enough that the developer needs to understand both target-based CMake and legacy CMake, now there need to be two more languages (slide 13) that must be understood? It's been 9 years since Modern CMake came out, and I'd estimate adoption at 50-50.

This deck does not address the drawbacks of doing this at all, and the only recognition of this problem is in "Stretch Goal: Research development of tool(s) to translate legacy CMake to new CMake language."

The current CMake language is fine. Nothing amazing, but good enough.

But every moment that I spend configuring CMake is a moment I don't spend doing something actually useful. I don't want to disparage the team's work--CMake is awesome software--but the way they see it is very different from the way typical developers see it.
Do you really think a video game is comparable to a 40 hour work week?
Perhaps it implies use in a commercial karaoke bar setting which often are dubious for licensing music.

It also might imply perfect vocal removal, which they aren’t guaranteeing.
So once again, there are no problems crypto claims to solve that haven't already been solved already.
This is disingenuous. Money is fungible but the flow of money is not. My buying weekly groceries is not the same as my putting a down payment on a new car: they're two different activities that use the same fungible source as a medium of exchange. Likewise, if I run a business, paying a fixed wage to an employee is not the same as distributing profit in the form of dividends to shareholders: the fungible medium of exchange is weighted differently, comes from different sources, and is used for different purposes.
> this is a trivial amount of engineering effort

I disagree and I have worked on Google search ranking, making models that learn is ridiculously hard. This model is impressive, but it still hasn't solved this part, and until they do solve it the blocker isn't engineering effort but research effort with unknown timeframes.

When researches says a model "learns" all they mean is that they put the new data into the model, but the model is still as stupid as before so it doesn't really solve the real kind of learning humans do and the model would need to be able to do in order to be useful here.
To be clear, I'm making a descriptive and not a prescriptive statement. I'm not saying that people should conform to societal norms, just that right now they do (and that doesn't seem like a trivial thing to change).
Give everyone a ubi, sorting out the geniuses will never actually identify only the geniuses. And less smart people deserve basic human dignity. Just give it to everyone. I guarantee you people will still want to work.

That work might end up being more creative work and less "flipping burgers because if I don't take this job I will starve and die" work.
Probably because Apple doesn't want it advertising to look like:

"Hey we just added a cultural pastime as a feature!"

There are some that could twist this feature into "Apple profiting off of cultural appropriation".
It is a ridiculous and intellectually embarrassing question. I just picture what someone like Feynman would think of a question like this.

I wouldn't be shocked this is a higher order effect of too much of certain 20th century French philosophers. We can't even make test questions that aren't bullshit.

There literally should be a none of the above choice because of lack of information in the question.
Disclaimer: author of a build system that will compete against CMake when it's released.

I'm not impressed, for two reasons:

* Backwards compatibility for the CMake language is not desirable. It would be better to allow files to be translated to the new language completely. Sure, CMake could support having files in the old language and files in the new language, but the CMake language is so bad that a break from it is the best path forward.

* The CMake language is not the only drawback to CMake, unlike the claims in the presentation. CMake's model is hamstrung as well, in several ways.

Here are some ways in which the CMake model is hamstrung:

* Generating a build file for another build system. This means that CMake always gives up control of the build. It can only tell the other build system the dependency graph and then sit back and watch. It can't regulate the build itself.

* No dynamic dependencies. If you need dynamic dependencies, you need to call into CMake to generate a new and separate build file for the second build system and then call that. And because the two build files that CMake generated don't know anything about each other, it's hard to regulate the use of computing resources between them; you either have to complete the one and start the other, or you risk over-extending on your computing resources.

* No way to generate a target that doesn't call an outside process. More generally, the only way to generate a target (unless my CMake knowledge is old) is to have the second build system create a child process. This is strictly less powerful than having the same scripting language available during configure also available in targets. For example, LaTeX is only properly built with a loop that checks for a fixed point. If you can't loop in your target, you have to use an outside bash script or something of the sort to make up for it.

* No way to have targets that do not generate files and have other targets depend on those targets. If a target does not generate a file, CMake does not know how to make other targets depend on it (unless my CMake knowledge is old).

* The model of "configure in Turing complete language and then build" also means that configuring often has to happen more than once before a build. You see this if you use `ccmake`: you configure, and new options appear. You set the options and configure again. More options might appear. Using plain `cmake` hides this by using defaults, but that just means the user might end up with a build they didn't want because they didn't get a chance to set all of the options they might care about.

Anyway, rant over.
To name some:

- Fill a tunnel with traps.

- Embark in a location with no enemies. But maybe instead with undead.

- Set up a lava chamber above your entrance hall, and a remotely triggered floodgate…

- Close the doors on your enemies, and have archers on walls above them.

- Create a “danger room”, make an OP army.

There’s no shortage of ways to survive, once you dig into a few of the tools.
I came to HN today specifically to see what crazy stuff people are doing with ChatGPT today. I think its a fast moving field and its scary and interesting
Wow I was making shit up but the real invention is actually quite close.

"The world's first karaoke machine, the Juke-8, was built by Japanese inventor and musician Daisuke Inoue in 1971. But it is Filipino inventor Roberto del Rosario who holds the machine's patent. He developed the Karaoke Sing-Along System in 1975."

It doesn't "cost" them that much if they never had that money to begin with. If I give you $10 every month and then I stop for a month that doesn't mean me not giving you $10 cost you $10.

People are still living they are just doing it somewhere else and the money will follow.
The cost difference between US and China for a fully automated factory is negligible. Even considering real estate costs and taxes.

I am always puzzled (yet not puzzled) that someone would frame what this piece seems to be about in terms of their own personal theology. Everything in this beautifully written piece rings true to me, and yet somehow the connection to Christianity, either as a source of that truth or as an expression of it, feels forced.

You don't need to be a Christian to have had the author's experiences and desires, and you don't need to be a Christian to share an understanding of "the way forward".

I remain puzzled about what precisely the author believes Christianity itself brings to the questions and life situations she is writing about, above and beyond what the simple act of being a self-aware human can.
License agreements often forbid things similar to “adjustable vocals.” It would be interesting to learn if this is achieved with technology, like automatic stemming, or through partnership agreements that provide vocal tracks separately for adjustment.
So... you give me a contract (that you made me sign, right ? You don't consider the existence of the NFT the signature?).

At what part do I need a blockchain to prove that I did, indeed sign the contract that we both have a copy of and that will be the only thing that matters in case of a legal disagreement ?
At a guess:

1) Perhaps they don’t want to trigger a different licensing model (on either the music or the lyrics) that applies specifically to karaoke devices and venues. Just a guess, not a music lawyer, but all sorts of unexpected terms apply to music licensing (such as streaming TV services not being able to use music from the original TV broadcast)
2) Perhaps they don’t want to associate with the karaoke “brand” which some users might perceive as kitschy or low-quality (have you ever seen a karaoke video?)
Since the antenna would not be able to fit in anyone's pocket, the best placement for a medium wave text receiver would be in the car or a fixed location, like a home. And that brings you right back to the interference problem.
funny story. I used to live in a medium sized city in France. The mayor once bought all the prints of a satirical journal the day they published a story about corruption in this city.

You would think that it would be easy to do a reprint but some shops were too afraid to buy those again. The mayor is still in charge of the city.

It seems that limiting new headline software features to the latest hardware release is the direction that Apple is going lately. The most recent examples that comes to mind are the always-on display in the new iPhone 14 and the hover mode in the new iPad Pro.
>Can anyone make out if songs like this are specially mastered with separate vocal channels ... or if Apple is applying ML to do voice isolation

"Coupled with an ever-expanding catalog that features tens of millions of the world’s most singable songs"

"The vocal slider adjusts vocal volume, but does not fully remove vocals"

Based on the quantity and results it's ML like Spleeter (https://research.deezer.com/projects/spleeter.html).
