Maybe this is just me, but I find it really unnatural to pause in the middle of a short phrase like "all things wild". I'd emphasize "wild" by putting stress on it, not by pausing.

But this excerpt is the end of a paragraph that begins with "Bill loved and found solace in nature." and describes taking walks and looking at the moon. This doesn't support emphasizing "wild" because the author has already established that information; the important part of the sentence is "deep spiritual yearning", or maybe "easiest to express", since the author then goes on to discuss how, after he died, Bill expressed himself from beyond the grave in other ways.

I could kind of understand the AI not quite getting the emphasis right, since that's a judgement call that requires a lot of context from the rest of the book. But breaking up "all places wild" like the sample does suggests that it doesn't understand the basic grammar of the sentence.
> EDIT: And perhaps more importantly give people the freedom to innovate on top versus stopping anyone who does.

Everyone is free to innovate on top of any pre-existing, current patent. They simply can't profit on their new innovation without licensing the patent. However what they can do with their new innovation is patent the innovation itself. This newly patented innovation prevents the original patent holder from profiting off of the new innovation, and thus incentivizes the original patent holder to license their patent to the new patent holder (or vice versa).

I thought they might release a desktop Rembrandt in the $100-200 range but they haven't, probably because AM5 motherboards are so expensive. They may or may not release Phoenix on AM5 later this year.

I am sorry to be contrarian, but I do not think Richard Carrier represents the best scholarship today, and the mainstream scholarly view is in fact that Jesus was a real person. The theory of Jesus as myth is in fact considered a fringe theory without much scholarly support.

Here is one piece of evidence for the existence of an actual historical Jesus: Paul claims to have confronted Peter in person in Galatians, which is one of the Pauline epistles considered to be genuine. This is solid evidence for Peter being a real person. Peter is supposed to have been one of Jesus's disciples. So how can we plausibly claim that early Christianity did not have a Jesus? This is the same level of evidence for many Greek philosophers being real people.

It really isn't though. The level of fidelity that Apple is demonstrating in those samples is very impressive. You can generate fine voices with little work using repos like that one, but to get to the level Apple has takes a lot of work.

Probably not actually. If you rent your car you, you also need to clean it. Musk/Tesla isn't setup to do that, and the overhead of getting setup for that type of operation means that while is a profitable small business idea it may not work out for a large company.

While there is a business in that space to be had, I'm not convinced it is very big.
"It's all fungible"

The article, maybe unintentionally, frames this in an interesting way by starting with a first-generation 20-year-old immigrant.

In the US, you're in "Gen Z" whether you're a 20-year-old first-generation immigrant, like the carpenter in the lede, or a 20-year-old 10th-generation American.

But immigration's changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Before the pandemic, the number of immigrants has increased, but the age, class, and education levels of those immigrants have also. Asia overtook Hispanic regions as a source of immigrants in 2009; more than half of 2018 immigrants from Asia had a bachelor's degree or better, compared to more than half of 2018 immigrants from Mexico not completing high school. The proportion of undocumented immigrants has also dropped, while non-criminal deportations have increased.[1]

This largely translated to a relative decline of younger, less-educated, poorer immigrants for whom the trades are the most accessible means of financial security, and a shift toward most total US immigrants (51%) having already lived in the US for more than 20 years. There's also a much larger proportion of recent immigrants age 25+ with at least a bachelor's degree (more than 45% from 2014-2019, vs. less than 35% for both US- and foreign-born immigrants prior to 2014). And when counting both immigrants and their children — whether immigrants or US-born — the population dropped by nearly 1 million between 2020 and 2021.[2]

Which leads to the pandemic: net immigration, across the board, cratered so hard in 2020 and 2021 that there were fewer total foreign-born immigrants in 2021 than there were immigrant visas — not work visas, not student visas, but just permanent resident visas — in 2016.[3]

The easy framing is to pin it on "Gen Z", but the missing context that the lede just hints at changes the story dramatically.

Most of this thread is humorous, or trying to be. I don't see you answering every other post in it.
There are usually non-solicitation clauses as well that prevent you from actively recruiting former co-workers and clients/customers. That's different than a non-compete.

I've had a chance to look over the papers discussed in the meta-study you cited.

I think you should look them over too, you might want to "adjust your priors" as they say in Bayesian modelling. The evidence really doesn't support your position.

Like I said above, Skeptics perform an important and valuable function in the intellectual life of man. James Randi has done a lot of good and important work, for example. However, in this case, it's clear to me that the Skeptics have erroneously identified NLP et. al. as "woo-woo". It's truly unfortunate.

In any event, thank you for prompting me to actually go look at the papers. It was kind of a waste of time (for me at least) but at least now I know (to my own satisfaction) what went wrong in the scientific study of NLP. One day we'll do proper science to it. I look forward to that day.

I have to say that a number of audiobooks I've bought recently have been totally spoilt by the narration - and the AI voices on offer here all sound better than the humans involved in those books.

I also remember reading, a couple of years ago, that Apple was working on improving the voices for Siri - resulting in me thinking "surely Apple has more important things to work on to improve Siri". I guess this was what they were actually aiming for.

As an audible customer I can tell you clearly that I often buy audiobooks by a particular narrator (discovering new authors) because the narrator is so good.

I mean, Siri is quite good at reading texts (I imagine that's a huge training corpus) but I think we'll be in "uncanny valley" for quite a few years.

It's possible that the public just gets used to that.
That's not the magic part...
> Now when you hear outrage over some bank exec getting a million dollar severance, know that this can be because of a non-compete.

But, as you pointed out with your story, much of the outrage is still directed at the rank hypocrisy that goes on - companies easily try to force noncompetes with little or no compensation to low level workers, but then automatically know they need to pay execs millions for the same privilege.
A lot of this is due to the ancient nature of construction. Allow experimentation with new materials. Allow robots, prefabs etc. I m sure genz would love to program your 3d home printer or assemble your ikea home.

Meta comment:

A lot of commenters are mentioning that Iran is simply using very common parts. I think that's missing the wider context that Iran was only recently eclipsed by Russia as the most sanctioned country on Earth. Going a step deeper, it's not that the parts are common in our globalized world, it's how Iran managed to get them, who supplied them, why Iran is choosing to use sell these limited and expensive parts (relative to global norm), and how that can be mitigated. I tried to find a list of specific parts that would fall under the sanctions, but, ho-boy, that is a deep dive into procurement and sourcing.
> But please don't lump the entire generative art community in with "icky stuff".

But it kind of is depending on your definition of icky. The fact that they've trained the models to be extremely proficient forgers should raise all sorts of red flags. I get the concept of homage and every great artist borrows/steals, blah blah, but as these things continue to get better, the lines between legit artist work and forgery will only blur to unknowable. Digital artists will now need to know how to cryptographically sign their work. There have been tools for this that most ignore because of pricing. (and no i'm not talking about NFT nonsense)

The Pareto principle is incredibly harsh, but such hierarchies seem to form naturally.

My concern with your view is that in trying to “squash the gap”, you end up doing so by making everyone poorer — and society worse overall.

Happy to agree to disagree; hopefully we can consider each other’s perspectives in crafting policies.
Modern schedulers like Window's multilevel feedback queue and Linux's CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) have advanced a lot in the last decade.

It would be annoying for kernal developers to make an exception for individual processors like this, but it's totally doable to make the scheduler handle this case.

Imagine that the employer does not have a non-compete in place with her current employees. In the US, she may offer a single, token amount in exchange for signing an agreement containing a non-compete clause. This could, for example, be described by the employer as a "bonus". It does not have to be reasonably-based on the amounts the employee might gain from working for a competitor. It could be much lower. The employer could make signing the agreement a prerequisite to continued employment. Arguably the purpose of such a "bonus" is primarily to protect the employer against challenges to the enforceability of the agreement, not as an incentive or reward to current employees.

It's almost as if people are less willing to work jobs that actively harm their long-term physical health (back-breaking jobs) or those harmful for their mental health (generally ones face to face with customers, customer support or high stress jobs), for a relatively small wage to said job's demands and lasting effects.

The SDCard is not listed as a supported boot target, though you could almost certainly build a small bootloader that's stored in the qSPI flash and then load the rest of your code into RAM from there.

I'm not the most familiar with it, but I believe all hardware init (setting clock source, initialing USB, GPIO, etc.) is handled by the flashable firmware of which there are open source SDKs for.
Ok, thank you. I guess that makes sense.
But even that has major drawbacks -- if you're not actually working, then you're not building your resume, you're not getting promotions, you're not advancing. And if you find your work meaningful and satisfying, that meaning and satisfaction is gone. Not to mention who determines how much "being paid" means, when compensation isn't just base salary but also variable things like company bonuses, individual performance bonuses, stock compensation -- plus the increased compensation you'd get from potential raises.

I too can see the reasons that non-competes exist, but I see more reasons why they shouldn't exist. And even if a company thinks it's worth it to pay someone's salary for a year or two to enforce a non-compete, is this really what's best for the economy overall? Motivated, highly skilled people excluded from the job market?
I might be misunderstanding what you're saying but are you implying that journalists are somehow responsible for fixing the issues they report on?
Well for all the broohaha from the "YOU DONT NEED COLLEGE" folks the reality is still that trades are very underpaid unless you run your own business and your body will break down doing physical labor for 8+ hours a day.
Yeah, that theory's a load. If the fear is formal IP theft then as you point out there are harder protections for that. If the fear is they'll learn your business practices and use them to compete with you, then you suck and they deserve to win. Because you're the established business with all the advantages and existing customers, even if they have the capital lying around to start a copy-cat business tomorrow you should be able to wipe the floor with them and make sure they never get off the ground.

Over time it will even out. Also if you weight out the whole dish it's easier.

How is this news, though? The Snowden leaks, nearly a decade old at this point, directly highlighted the fact that the NSA and FBI personally oversee operations at Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of FAANG. Not only does the US know, but everyone does.

This book documents how copyright power has expanded substantially since 1974 in five critical dimensions:

duration (from 32 to 95 years),
scope (from publishers to virtually everyone),
reach (to every view on a computer),
control (including "derivative works" defined so broadly that virtually any new content could be sued by some copyright holder as a "derivative work" of something), and
concentration and integration of the media industry.

It also documents how this industry has successfully used the legal system to limit competition to the major media corporations through legal action against...
You don't need to bike every trip to reduce your reliance on cars! Even if you replaced solo trips in the spring and summer with a bike, for many people this ends up being a big reduction in car use... which isn't only good for the environment and your health, but reduces car wear & tear.

If you're not interested enough to invest in an ebike, an escooter is a good way to try... though it removes the exercise element and restricts you to what can be carried in a backpack.
Anecdotally I definitely agree with you -- I'm Gen Z and most of my SWE friends from outside of work have very similar perspectives. Don't think anybody actually cares about their job beyond the money.

I wouldn't call it a scam. The subsidy per rider is, in fact, a relevant number. As others have pointed out, commuting by rail in America largely sucks, particularly in an age of COVID and rampant crime in many metro areas. In Portland a dude literally had his face and ear bitten off the other day at a light rail station. People will pay more for cars because everything about the experience is better.
what vehicles are you using for this comparison? I was surprised to see that a base model 3 weighs in the same ballpark as a 330i. however, a model s weighs >500 lbs more than a 540i, and there doesn't seem to be anything in the corolla size class that's even close to 3000 lbs.

I suspect that if this is true, it's only because the most popular cars in the US are so large that the battery weight doesn't matter as much.
It might be on par in range, but it's far behind in terms of efficiency... and also much more expensive to boot. Also, comparing it against the Model 3 (which, I know, is not even the same league of 'luxury' as the EQS) it's even further behind in range/efficiency.

The only cars that get the 'A' rating on that spreadsheet are the two Model 3 cars (316 mile version, and 200ish mile one), the 62kWh Nissan Leaf (216mi), and a bunch of super low range cars where efficiency is easy, since weight is way lower.

Competitors are catching up, yes, but they're still pretty far behind in the efficiency game... which means that Tesla can produce quite a few more cars for the same amount of raw battery pack. Which drives better margins and more production capacity.

In your example, non competes seem to be optimal for the hedge fund investors, but I fail to see how it was optimal for everyone.
