You draw the line at personal responsibility.

The gun maker didn’t pull the trigger and the beer maker didn’t pour it into your mouth and hand you the keys to your own car, and Apple didn’t attach these AirTags to these two women: but someone did, and that’s who is responsible.
These blue check VCs on twitter are on such a gnarly anti-human bent these days. They are targeting a capitalist maximalism where a few people are very wealthy and everyone else does nothing (except...consume SaaS products? where do they think customers come from?). They are so absolutely caught up in AI development speed that they have traveled all the way to techno-eugenics, totally eliding the problem that there are a bunch of humans in the world that can't just be "disrupted" without their nightmarish little automation empires being seized by force.

If these were far leftists talking about the need to reduce human capability because of the climate they would be rightly derided as being eco-terrorists, and that's precisely what we should see these people as. Ultra-libertarian terrorists whose primary, unabashed goal is to enrich themselves at the cost of human society.
It seems like such a bizarre decision to not draw them facing "outward" if they're not going to change appearance based on direction of movement.
There are interesting questions here. I did not know this bit about Paper Bird not being part of the bankruptcy managed by Ray -

"The bankruptcy filing states that Paper Bird owned 75% of FTX International.1 However, that does not make it part of the FTX bankruptcy. In fact, Paper Bird filed for its own bankruptcy, the same date at FTX did, with separate counsel: Adam Landis of Landis Roth & Cobb while the lead attorney for FTX is James Bromley of Sullivan & Cromwell."

And really, the whereabouts of those loans should be very high up the list of things people are interested in - if nothing else, 10 digits somewhere safe sure is a nice bucket of grease to facilitate a disappearance to somewhere without extradition.
The fatigue/fear is reasonable, but it does not matter -- the world will not stop for you or anyone.

There's too much here. These discussions are simultaneously "late" and "very very early".

I think the only viable/healthy approach is to understand these changes, adapt, incorporate, and include them in the way you interface with the world.

...like anything else in life, really. But the potential impact of these developments are immense and barely just beginning to be understood.

3.0 was interesting. 3.5 is uncanny. 4.0 is a few months away. This is not stopping.
This is not only about vocals suppression, but also about visualizing timing (displaying when each syllable should be sung). Many songs have weirdly timed bridges where it's not clear when singing will resume. And some people are just not good at timing - having a visual timing clue will help there.
Yeah, and?

Pretty much nobody gets to change the world as a normal person. Most things/people either stay at local notoriety, or get adopted by various large entities which then do the world-wide lifting.

Eg, when we think about AI art, we're not thinking about the CompVis group at LMU Munich, we're thinking about DALL-E, Midjourney and NovelAI.
I remember seeing something like this in VirtualDJ the last time I fired it up and updated a few years ago. Only noticed because they'd remapped the high/mid/low EQ knobs on my old Numark controller to remove bass, drums, vox, etc.

Wasn't what I was looking for initially but it was surprisingly good compared to the older "vocal remover" type plugins I remember having for Winamp et al back in the day. If I ever actually DJed anymore it would definitely be useful for mixing tracks.
This may be a "culture gap" (or language gap) between crypto and traditional finance. The FT text directly addresses the question that we're told "No one [is] asking." They asked where's the money, and they're exposing the fact that no coherent response has been forthcoming.

That's reporting. The likely interpretation of that piece of reporting is crystal clear to the intended readership. (I.e., the money is probably gone.)

[For people who really want to nerd out: If you read all available public filings, the stories in the financial press are much easier to understand accurately. However this one is not subtle.]
Where did I say the election was stolen or that Clinton was popular? I merely said that she beat Sanders by a landslide. You appear to be brainwashed into not only thinking the nomination was stolen from Sanders but also that I said things that I had not.

This sort of muddled thinking is exactly what the disinformation campaign was aiming for. No such campaign happened in 2008, or you might even be crying about how the nomination was stolen from Clinton, who lost the primary vote by a percentage point margin two orders of magnitude less than Sanders.
Some people will disagree with me, but you might enjoy the "save and load when you lose a fight" play-style.

I played RimWorld that way and I had a thoroughly fun experience learning the tech-tree. It's arguably not the way the game is meant to be played, but for the casual player, it works
Why not use what we have already used like future service for scholarships (underwriting an education for limited commitment in the future)? As I mention elsewhere, of course it eliminates people wo just want to play around or students who don't know what they want. But it's be an option for serious geniuses who want to cultivate their intellect but maybe don't have an alternative route.
Why not rust? /s

That is sweet. Congrats.
It's a cool feature, even if you're just reading along.

Our Amazon Echo Show started doing this recently when listening to songs on Amazon's own Music service. I noticed it, thought it was interesting, commented once to the wife, then went back to just listening.
Hi, I’ve been using the app for a few days and I’m really enjoying it! Until recently I was using WaniKani, which I still enjoy, but I’ve been intimidated on how to start learning real grammar and conversation. Would enjoy a web or Mac version as some others may have pointed out.
> (apparently not including the ingredient means... use a lot of it?)

to be fair, 0 = unlimited isn't an unheard of setting

yeah, that sounds like fun stuff to explore - playing with different values. How granular is it?
Sure, yeah. Agreed.
People invested in the hardware for a profitable means, they’re going to continue using the hardware for a profitable means.

This reminds me of how even if you bust a lot of illegal drug operations you paradoxically don’t seem to inhibit the flow of illegal drugs in a country.
Mentioned in another comment, but I suspect the lawsuit will focus on either negligence in product safety features, or marketing claims about protection against this type of use not working as claimed.

I guess following your analogies, maybe a "fingerprint lock gun" that unlocks with anyone's fingerprint, despite claims that it doesn't. Or beer marketed as 4% alcohol content that actually is 8%.

And, again, not saying that's the case here. But I suspect that's what the plaintiff would attempt to prove, some negligence of due diligence or false claims.
What is PCI compliance? A helpful guide
It does seem a bit tone-deaf for pg to be making this argument at the precise moment tens of thousands of people are being laid off in the tech industry. Definitely a "mask off" moment. Either that, or he has a large equity stake in a manufacturer of pitchforks.
No I don't, unless they specifically marketed their products to those perpetrators. A drive in bar would encourage drunk driving, selling beer to the general population puts the decision of driving drunk in the hands of the consumer.

I'm not American, we have completely different gun laws and gun culture here, so it's difficult for me to relate. We had one school killing a few years ago where the attacker used a sword, I don't think the sword manufacturer was ever blamed for that in any way.
More likely you get fired.
This is the only cogent criticism I can find in this thread. I'm predisposed to like the proposal, but I don't really have a good response for you.

On the other hand, don't most IQ tests have elaborate anti-cheating mechanisms? E.g., handwriting an ungraded written portion?
Andreas Antonopoulos is one of the best (if not the best) Bitcoin proponents out there today. Very informative guy.
It does happen, quite often, to be honest. The single most important thing in this case is to understand why it happened. A typical example is when we come up with a design proposal that I think is a good one, but turns out to be that the estimated cost of building and running it outweighs the projected revenue the product will generate. Another example would be when I want to have a particular design implemented by an engineering team but they don't have enough capacity (people, time, etc) to deliver it the way it was intended. There have been cases when it was all about politics (sadly, I must add, but it does happen), i.e. someone in higher places of power want to push their own agenda and you get overruled.

These are cases when the previously mentioned 'professional negotiator' role gets really important. These are the cases when you need to go to the people involved and try to understand their priorities and their constraints. Once you have the information necessary, most of the times you'll be able to come up with an alternative solution that is acceptable for everyone. Sometimes you can convince others to give way, sometimes you'll need to.

And then there are times when you just can't do anything because, for example, you get overruled by an overzealous CTO. In these cases, as sho_hn also pointed out, the best you can do is to make them understand the implications and brace yourself for damage control, because the fallout is going to be on you anyway :)
A lot of people to resist to the Universal part is because of some moral judgement about a person "deserving" it or not.

> No more fraud

Some people will find a way to take it away from someone else, or to appear to the government as multiple people.

> what if you overspend you UBI and have nothing left to eat?

The same if you overspend your salary - you get another job. UBI does not prevent people from working or finding jobs - it just gives workers more flexibility and freedom to pursue better options. Let's say you want to move to the middle of the country. You need to consider a lot of things, including leaving your current job and how long it'd take to find a new one at the destination.

With UBI the risk decreases and people will make such moves.

What UBI makes it harder is underemployment and labor exploitation - people won't work in terrible jobs unless they need to and UBI removes that need.
Even as a High IQ person, if someone gave me this kind of money as a teenager, I would have spent half on liquor and wild women and the other half, I would have wasted…
Awfully thin as in not obese like today?
>"Making it universal has the added bonus of simplifying welfare programs. Subsidized housing and transport, food stamps, unemployment benefits, etc... no need, it is all UBI now. No more fraud because there is no need to: you always qualify, and as a result, no need to fight it. No more rewarding optimization since there is nothing to optimize."

In theory, yes. But I do not believe specialized welfare will ever go away. There are people on Social Security / Disability that absolutely require more than the most basic amount of money a typical non-handicapped citizen needs. I do not believe UBI supporters, and even society at large, would be so heartless as to tell a paraplegic to make-do because the UBI is all they are going to get. So, accommodating them would require some additional administration on top of the UBI to make sure the people with special needs get enough additional money and access to medical care. At which point we would still need to evaluate eligibility, make adjustments, and have a bureaucracy to administer it.
Exaggeration of the actual happens for cause and effect alike. It is often hard to tell which side exaggeration favors until time passes.
If you sign a contract, then it is breach of contract, which would be a kind of illegal.

I don't see the ethical quandaries though. So long as one is doing the work promised, and the company is satisfied with their output. It's not any more unethical than working on any other side project after hours.
Experiment isn't the same as torture, either. They're not being accused of devising optimal ways to make animals suffer. If you're referring to inadvertent or incidental torture; alone in a feedlot pen too small to turn around your entire life, standing in your own shit, stuffed with grain, then unnecessarily killed (no one needs to eat meat.)
You get the internet you deserve
I muse to myself, without a shred of evidence, that masks do "train your immune system". Since they are no where near perfect, pathogens do make it though. However, the "initial viral load" is much smaller, giving your body more time to mount an effective defense. So, I would like to believe you are not neglecting your immune system by masking. Rather, by not overloading it, just being less sick than the unmasked, on average. Who knows, it might even train better this way.
Such bands had very flat hierarchies. Your opinion was weighted on merit (i.e. the best hunter's word was trusted in that activity and the best farmer on theirs). Different bands absolutely exchanged people. Young people heading out to find their way and tribe was practically a right of passage.

If you said we have greater material comforts today, I couldn't disagree with you. If you said we're happier? I'm not so sure. There is something so damned compelling about a tight knit family and tribe.
This is reductio ad absurdum.

And yes, you still need a permit for lab rats and mice.

Right, you also don't know what was covered in the class. But do the best you reasonably can to collect a random sample and then go with it is almost certainly the best answer in this case. (Although you can make an argument for D.)
And "real-time lyrics" is _already_ in Apple Music.

Currently, Apple Music lyrics are synced to the current line of lyrics (if the lyrics metadata supports it)

This new feature appears to sync the lyrics to the current word of lyrics, which is what karaoke usually does. Not sure how big a deal that is to folks looking to do their own vocals.

I'm curious about how they're doing that word-for-word timing. Hardcoded metadata? ML? Is it a simple interpolation based on the existing line-by-line timing?
I found out about this by having a poor headphone jack connection on a cassette walkman as a kid.

I would actually take that and record out from that to another tape, so I could have 'instrumental' versions of the songs.

And, no - it doesn't work very well at all; it sounds like a poor 64kbps MP3 with bizarre artifacts and; yes - many missing instruments.
The light-gray rendering of this comment is some pretty strong support for its central thesis.
This: "This will probably come out in court anyhow since the creditors will be looking into fraudulent conveyance. So this isn’t something you will be able to hide.”

Yes.

Reading the bankruptcy filings and seeing what the accountants are finding is probably more productive than listening to the self-serving statements of a crook.
This actually really upset me when Apple first released their Self Service Repair program.

Apple said it was the exact same tools their repair technicians use, and offered all the tools for a $49 rental (which, honestly, probably doesn't even cover shipping for 77 lbs. of equipment). The Verge, iFixit, Ars Technica, and others claimed Apple deliberately designed and priced their repair program to make self-service repair not worth it, even if there wasn't the part serialization.

Which... what malarkey. Of course repairs are cheaper when you don't need to rent the toolkit every time and can reuse tools. According to Apple, the parts are the same cost the Apple Stores and their repair partners get, and according to congressional testimony this is not a profitable program, so what do you expect? Apple to sell parts publicly for cheaper than they get themselves? Do you want Apple to send you the repair tools for free and have cheaper parts? That's what they were saying - the parts should be cheaper and the tools should be less complicated even though that is what Apple literally uses. You think Apple repairs screens with guitar picks and are upset Apple doesn't ship those instead? It was really disappointing.

Imagine if Apple was a car company. They wanted the ability to repair their cars, so Apple agreed to loan them for $249 hundreds of pounds of equipment for repairing just about anything on their cars. Then imagine if people cried this made car repair too complicated by design. Right to Repair does not encompass right to simple, idiot-proof, no-tools repair.
> The laptop isn’t meaningless. It’s a data dump of evidence of guilt.

Chain of custody is a problem.

> Everything from brandishing an illegally obtained firearm

Conservatives supporting denying American's their right to bear arms. Gotcha.

> while under the influence of narcotics

So?

> to admitting to taking a cut of deals on behalf of his father (“10% for the big guy”).

Private citizen not in government.

> The House absolutely should look into these allegations. Because till now nobody had taken them seriously.

Gotcha. The FBI and Trump never took this seriously.

> The Trump hate is so strong that the left cannot even admit an investigation of corruption should be done into a meth addict who was clearly selling influence to his father without some kind of whataboutism.

Private citizens vs Government officials. Conservatives and their big government overreach and policies and their anti-1A stance.

> If there was actual Trump corruption, him and his whole family would be in prison by now.

So Clinton wasn't corrupt. Gotcha.

Also, the investigations are still ongoing. See Taxes, for example. And all the previous charges filed against him and case after case he lost.

But sure, Manafort, Papadopoulos, Flynn, Stone, and Cohen are nobody related to Trump.

> They’ve been investigating him non stop since 2015. But they haven’t found anything worthy of charges.

They've found evidence they could charge, but not enough they want to risk a trial on as it's not a "slam dunk" case.

But hey, the Clintons are not corrupt, and the elections weren't stolen! Those are interesting points of view for you.
Yes, but the cost of ultrapure water is essentially represented by the cost of electricity used for purification.
Let's say there's a 1% chance that Neuralink is able to improve the quality of life for paralyzed people by 100% (double) within 20 years, at the cost of 10,000 high-order animals (sheep, pigs, monkeys, etc). Is that worth it?

If they could do it with only 1000 animals instead, but this delayed availability by 10 years, would that be better?

These are the types of questions we need to think about in order to have a productive conversation.

Black-and-white positions with binary and objective moral superiority are not possible. We must weigh costs and benefits, and acknowledge that we might end up in different places based on having different, but reasonable and good-faith priorities.

It is a big deal for people who have to maintain the build systems which contain both languages.
> I disagree that all conservative critiques of universities philosophical and political bends are superfluous.

Well you just obliterated that straw man.

> You _need_ second order diversity of ideas, which tends to be achieved by the first order diversity of background, in order to flourish

That I 100% agree with. But that is not a conservative position, at least for any normal definition of conservative. Conservatives fought school desegregation, fight immigration, and fight admissions policies that aim to provide that diversity of background.

Please don't infer my opinions from that statement. Affirmative action-like policies especially are very complicated and I don't have an easy dontrinaire answer. But the fact is conservatives are generally much less interested in diversity than liberals (see: gender/racial mix of the parties in congress, or their judicial nominees).
And nowhere for them to go by themselves? Living in the suburbs as a tween/teenager is death.
Is there a reason they're not calling it karaoke other than mind-boggling pretentiousness?
>It would just indicate that the gender dysphoria is socially caused (perhaps by the imposition of strong gender norms) rather than being an unavoidable part of someone's nature.

It seems unlikely to me that social norms alone could cause gender dysphoric people to believe so strongly that their gender identity mismatches their biological sex (i.e. physical body) that they are willing to undergo dramatic, irreversible medical procedures like gender reassignment surgery and other transitioning procedures to rectify the mismatch.

There are plenty of people who strongly defy gender norms yet still strongly identify their gender as being concordant with their biological sex. Gender dysphoria goes far beyond mere nonconformity to gender norms; many trans people explicitly say that they feel like they were born into the wrong body.
jQuery has existed for a long time, still gets updates, is still used in greenfield projects, and has a large body of expertise around it.

The concern is abandoned projects that no one knows how to use, not that something is a bit old. React is beyond that point. It's not just the tech junkies hopping from the latest fad using it. There's been enough widespread adoption that there will still be React projects in 20 years.
What really matters is if the bias of your experiment is understood/understandable by downstream consumers of your result. Question is poor in my opinion because it displays an ignorance of the basics of experiment consumption.
The parent comment might be refering to github copilot or chatGPT, both are fairly decent at removing a lot of google-fu for typical fullstack problems and helping newer programmers get up to speed or closer to a viable solution quickly.
That’s just the worst of all worlds and makes for an equally terrible development experience for everyone.

CLion’s native support for CMake is the only thing that makes the IDE story palatable, but everything about CMake’s architecture resists treating CMake as a declarative format and performing that kind of intelligent integration.
> The only solution is to ban condoms. Will solve so many problems.

Is that a serious comment, or sarcasm? Because banning condoms will not solve any problems, it will create more.

If you want people to have more kids, make sure they can afford more kids: pay young families more, give them the ability to buy a house big enough to raise children in, provide affordable childcare, and offer better healthcare to pregnant women, instead of worse.
I'm not implying that companies don't bring value by their nature. They absolutely do. I'm also not implying that I could generate this value on my own, though I have before.

I'm just saying, if I have an employee and he makes me $1m a year, I'm going to pay him well - I'll pay that employee what is fair in the context of what value we enable him to generate for us.

That usually means the employee is worth at least 50% of that in compensation, btw.

This is why if you bring a deal to a company as a sales person commissions are around that number (50% of profit).
The success of SpaceX belongs to Gwynne Shotwell far more than it does Elon. It also doesn't hurt that his CIA buddy joined NASA in time to give SpaceX a $400m investment.
> If you remove everything he said

Now that's asking for a lot. But maybe you're right, it's way better to have a president who doesn't say much of anything.
