Copyright isn't going away for the masses. People won't be able to get away with publishing Google or Disney adjacent materials justbecause they’re laundered through "AI". It just means Google and Disney will be able to take credit for and monetize peoples’ content easier.
It's passive voice, not particularly weird.

The scientist is specifically trying to avoid the trap of a "gotcha question" while answering accurately that the most likely outcome of lots of people consuming a carcinogen is that someone got cancer from it.
Except that entirely the point: he isn't. He had an epiphany about his worldview that the past was full of morons, but still insists on the superiority of his secular western worldview interpretation of spiritual practices.

For every single millisecond after you check your backup camera to make sure there's no kid in the blind spot behind your car, your whole-ass body should be rotated with you head looking over your shoulder and out the rear window.

Unless you have a monster SUV that you can't see out of anyways, in which case use the screen.

In either case the driver should be spending an exact and precise 0.0% of the time a vehicle is in reverse manipulating any control not related to steering and acceleration.

Excellent. Let me know how it works out!
What utilities related to Whisper do you wish existed? What have you had to build yourself?

On the end user application side, I wish there was something that let me pick a podcast of my choosing, get it fully transcribed, and get an embeddings search plus answer q&a on top of that podcast or set of chosen podcasts. I've seen ones for specific podcasts, but I'd like one where I can choose the podcast. (Probably won't build it)

Also on the end user side, I wish there was an Otter alternative (still paid $30/mo, but unlimited minutes per month) that had longer transcription limits. (Started building this, not much interest from users though)

Things I've seen on the dev tool side:

Gladia (API call version of Whisper)

Understandable. Let me just set up a peer reviewed study for you to confirm what common sense might already tell you.
Do this at you own risk, ive done this with lidar data (which didnt need to be as persice as binary, which is what im seeing in this post) which worked fine. 3 years later i revisited the project and it was broken because youtube compressed the files in such a way where it made the lidar just innaccurate enough to be unusable. I cant imagine storing data in binary where just one bit wrong screws everything
Recently I came about a couple of projects on github where they are making a binary available through docker AND the so called 'bare-metal' (which expression I hate, because up until recently [ok-ok, couple of years] there wasn't any other method than just run it as it is on the hardware/os), meaning you can run it on any linux distro (without docker of course), so open source developers certainly can make software that runs on any (or at least most of) linux distros. Especially when there's a big corp. behind them.

What's more is podman especially is about running software on different distros easily.

What I'm expecting from RH is make software (if that is free and opensource and about running other software without the hassle of packaging, etc.) that can be - sort of easily - used on other distros too. But just to be clear, this expectation is not only towards RH.. it is towards any other linux distros. In this special case it is RH indeed.

The whole idea behind podman is great (especially not having to have a root daemon to run containers), but if they want it to succeed they need a proper and easy way for other linux distro users to use it.

and yes, they also said in https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/13097#discu...:
"if I want to get Real Wise. Only Supported Podman comes from Red Hat Enteprise Linux and perhaps SUSE. (Maybe Oracle Linux)"

> Doesn't it follow then that the responsibility for making Podman available on Ubuntu falls on either Canonical or volunteers that use Ubuntu, and not Red Hat?

As mentioned in https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/13097, node.js is just an example, but they could do it. Why wouldn't redhat do it with podman?

> Otherwise, you could blame any developer on any software for not making their code available on any distro, and perhaps even any OS.

Yes you could. And in certain cases - like this one - you should too.
Show HN: Flasho (YC W20) -Open source tool to set up transactional notifications
Hi HN,

We just launched Flasho- an open-source tool to set up transactional notifications in minutes.

Last year when we were building an avatar-based social app, we realised that building notifications took up significant time and development effort (establishing microservices, integrating with a bunch of different service providers etc). And every time we wanted to set up new notifications or make changes to existing ones, we had to make multiple changes across the codebase which was time-consuming and messy. We realised we needed a better way to manage this.

Existing solutions were either too expensive or required us to share customer data with third parties. And that is when we decided to build an in-house tool. This tool turned out to be incredibly useful for us. It was a single dashboard to create and manage all our customer notifications across channels. It saved us weeks of developer bandwidth and we could now create and manage notifications with little to no code. We decided to open source this tool and thus Flasho was born.

Flasho is self-hosted(docker/deploy from source). You can just connect your DB, set up event triggers and conditions, create content and connect to the service providers of your choice in a matter of minutes, without writing any code.

We have SMS and email notifications now. We plan on adding in-app and push soon. We have currently built it for PostgreSQL. We will make it compatible with more databases in the coming days.

We’ve launched it under the MIT licence so any developer can use the tool. We don't intend on charging individual developers. The plan is to generate revenue through a cloud hosted service, priority support, features like multi-user login etc.

Check it out and let us know what you think!
I'd like to know what physical activity and exercise the author was getting during this period. I believe that 10 - 12 hours of breath counting was mentioned, and I can't imagine that being physically still for that long is good for the body. Some of the stuff about involuntary jerking and the author's shoulder reminded me of my experience with a pinched nerve due to a bulged disc in my neck.

Also, I'm a bit suspicious of the quiet references to alcohol and drugs. I'm far from a tee-totaler, but I recognize that one man's casual drinking or smoking (i.e. THC) is another's depression or anxiety-inducing dose.
Around 5 years ago I was buying a car and tried out a whole bunch of them. One thing that stood out at the time was trying a Ford Fusion - not only were all the controls touch screen, the touch screen was painfully slow. You had to navigate pages of settings and page changes weren't instant. Even stopped the experience wasn't satisfactory. I ended up not buying that car 100% because the environmental controls (really all the controls) were so slow and bad.

Hilariously, though, its not just the car companies that are bad. Google used to have an acceptable solution with google maps and voice commands to change songs in google music. It worked without much effort. Today I can't get my pixel to reliably start music or change a song. Android auto, instead of being its own app, seemingly has to detect you're moving a car and then does stuff. It's a disaster - I'm not sure why anyone would have wanted it that way but I hate it, and have been thinking of getting a dedicated GPS unit instead.
> It very much is the setting the thermostat higher in an attempt to heat the house faster.

This bugs me :) Having said that, I don't know if some cars apply an s-curve to their heat output that you could hack by doing this, so I keep my opinion to myself when I see people doing it.

Your infra should never block the company's growth. We sat down with Sergei Sorin from Wix to talk about the monetization platform they've built and what they've learned when building it. Think this can be highly insightful for anyone dealing with 'pricing'.
And that's fair, nobody's telling you you should. I think.

I don't believe myself, but I can recognize the comfort that people get from faith, either faith in a higher power or a belief in what happens after death. My GF is pagan, she says she can see spirits leaving the body; for her, it makes dealing with death a lot easier. Like when our dog died, she just got on with dealing with the body because it was just an empty meatsack to her. Likewise, she said she doesn't care what happens with her body after death, because empty meatsack. If that gives her comfort, who am I to tell her she's wrong? I don't know either.

Personally I'm more of a nihilist and think there's nothing after death, so there's no reason to fear it or care much about it, I won't be around. I've always theorised that life-after-death religions are at least in part based on fear - fear of nothingness, or fear of being judged and punished for things done (or not done) in life. I don't want to live in fear like that myself, but if others are more fearful and find comfort in faith that's good for them.

That's one factor contributing to fear of flying, though with a car you can stop and get out at least.

Edit: Also, I think that many of the casualties resulting from autonomous vehicles will be situations that humans could have easily avoided (vs. lots of saved situations where humans couldn't have done anything).

I update the year reference so my users know that the project is still in development.
I like my Prius Prime's climate controls. I have a lot of problems with the in-dash system in general, but two big permanent buttons for temperature and a menu screen for everything else seems right. My only complaint is that I'd like a physical button to cycle through blower modes, since I hate having the air blowing in my face.

And for navigating menus, there's a mini-screen just under the windshield that can be controlled by a d-pad on the steering wheel. I can manage the audio in every way without ever taking my hand off the wheel.
I think with genetic sequencing we’re way past this belief.
Even that will have its limit. We need to reduce our reliance on electricity.
Honda did go the touchscreen route - or at least they did - one of my relatives has a 2017-ish civic sedan with climate on the touchscreen. It's an absolute pain, especially in winter where I like to start on high to make sure the windows are clear, then reduce the power as I'm driving.

Kudos to them if they reversed the decision. Touchscreens have no purpose on the dash except for navigation and maybe the rear camera
It’s impossible to reimplement scrolling in any way acceptably on the web, because the web doesn’t expose several of the primitives you’d need. Therefore I say: scrolljacking is always bad.
You can run giant models on a high-end laptop today... they'll just be slooooowww since you'll be doing things like swapping data in/out and leveraging the CPU. If you don't mind waiting an hour for a prompt response it can work.

It's the same as it's always been. Any general purpose computer is Turing complete. Spending more gets you faster results.

What really? I find the side mirrors and the backup cam 10X better for lining up the car perfectly than doing the oldschool look-over-shoulder arm-over passenger seat thing.

Especially since the backup cam doesn't change in perspective as I crane my head to get the side of the car in view in the sideview mirrors.
That's really awesome!

But that skill you're describing here is equally trainable and it probably will be in the near future, such that a specialized Artist AI will immediately guess what you're after, and if not, present you several iterations.
That Artist AI, in turn, will become a subset of a Market AI which will have access to a lot of data about what makes people tick, testing and deploying market strategies accordingly.
That Market AI, in turn, will be a subset of... you know where I'm going. All of this felt like Sci-Fi a while ago, but now you can almost taste it.

Nothing in the information space will be left untouched by the ML/AI revolution. I was a bit skeptical last years, but seeing this space evolve in the last 2-3 years left no question about it.

The only thing stopping this a Butlerian Jihad, probably. Actually, it probably can't be stopped.

Humanity as a whole seriously needs to start considering alternate incomes and ways to support people existing. We need to shift our perspective from the human individual as a value-producing asset to a right-to-exist-and-experiment-reality entity.

All of this is really awesome, but for me it's like admiring the exquisite beauty and calm of the blue sky in the center of a hurricane.

I'm still trying to adjust: am I too fatalistic or people are clearly ignoring of the tectonic shift that's happening?
I assume that's a reference to reaching awareness of the three characteristics by "noting" perceptions and sensations in the mind as if blasting enemies in a video game. That's a very intense vipassana practice and while it apparently makes for quick progress towards full awakening, one could argue that it's not for everyone.
They link to the display to use on Amazon. It's very thin at 1 cm.
Likewise, circumcision was a health practice, still applied today to pigs for the same reason.

With both health things and laws, it's often easier to convince people they have to do it because a higher power than them says so, than to explain the reasoning to them.

I mean think of children or dogs (if I may be cruel). A dog doesn't understand why he shouldn't eat off the table, but they do understand that if they do they will get punished. You can't reason with a dog (although it's cute if you talk to them), but you can teach them cause and effect.

I'm still pretty convinced that, while humans individually are and have been pretty smart for as long as we can remember, as a group and statistically they're pretty stupid. If percentage-wise more people will wash their hands and feet more often if they do it as part of a religious ritual, then it's worthwhile.
This is exactly why North America was supposed to be a melting pot - so that people could choose a better culture and give up their own.
> anywhere in the US or western world

Banning words is a very US thing, not "western world". In most countries it's normal to use the words we want to talk about, the words themselves are not "cursed" like Voldemort. Honestly the "x-word" thing is really childish.

There's a difference in using the words as a way to illustrate and using them as insults or bad words. Context matters.
It's easy to dismiss a whole class of phenomenon just because there isn't an ample understanding of it. And much of mind is unfalsifiable becuase we don't yet understand how to make heads or tails of the largest neural network in our existence: our brains.

And before you look at my username, instead look no further than "Placebos". Why does a sugar pill named "morphine" work? Obviously, handing them a teaspoon of sugar does nothing, but when relabeled, works.

And most of the occult as well is of mind - either my own mind, or that of others. Science even has a semi-explanation with the holographic universe theory, which says that every particle is encoded with the information of everything, just at the simplest resolution. And if mind could be tuned so, could access everything within their own mind. (The old occult principle is 'As above, so below.')

But it's easy to paint things you either don't like or don't understand as "pseudoscience". Flat earth used to be science. Earth-centric orbits used to be science. Wearing masks full of herbs when dealing with plague victims used to be science.
The underlying technologies very rarely change and offer very stable APIs. Apache has been around nearly 30 years. NGinX nearly 20. Both offered major advantages over existing solutions, but also interfaced with the rest of your codebase using a standard mechanism (CGI) so you could easily migrate to or from them.

A single vendors solution will not (at least very much should not) become a standard underlying technology, so this isn't moving to the next underlying technology. You're just tying yourself in to one vendor.

If it gets standardized across vendors or open sourced then it becomes a different story, but until then its a massive gamble to assume it will and the standard chosen will derive from your current vendors solution. Then what happens when the vendor decides to double prices and kill the free tier (also known as being acquired by Oracle)? deprecate it? Goes bust? etc.
None of these reasons are exclusive to touchscreens, you haven't really justified why the touchscreen results in a worse experience. Even the scrollbar example, phones have those still, they just aren't the huge glossy things of windows XP. Or the idea that feature creep requires more items on the screen, when the reality is different, features get dropped and more things are hidden under different tabs. Which is a problem itself, but not the one you're describing.

I do agree however regarding accessibility. But again, this problem exists no matter the interface. Old people aren't thriving on desktops, they're struggling to manage flip phones with actual large buttons on them. We need to do more here, but I sincerely doubt changing the interface will solve the problem entirely.
I'll donate $500 USD to the group that makes a usable GPT alternative (this : GPT-3.5 :: Stable Diffusion : Dall-E 2) that has a performance (max input+output tokens, latency, text understanding, and instruction following) on par with GPT-3.5
I'm guessing that you don't spend your entire life personally checking that all Previous science was done properly. At some point you have to trust your fellow human beings.
And that cost is taken into account when people value the merits of a particular investment/company.

If bonds yield 100% p/a then an investment with even a decent potential payout in 10 years time will be seen as worthless.

But one that is likely to pay out a dividend tomorrow may not be.

That’s the whole premise behind discounted cashflow analysis: mechanistically taking into account the opportunity cost of the risk-free interest rate to derive a valuation.

> That second tank is caused by light at night.

I don't know. If anything, maybe not total light, but some kind of inside/outside delta?

I am light sensitive. I tolerate only two states: very dark and very bright. The average underlit indoors people keep during the day, when there's not that much sunlight coming in, but enough for them to keep the lights off - those shut me down very quickly.

I normally thought of it in terms of not enough light, but I just realized it's not exactly it. There are cases when, during the day, the total of sunlight + artificial light in the room is squarely in the underlit, sleep-inducing zone, but only few hours later, once it's dark outside, the same amount of artificial light is enough for my mind to consider the room bright enough.

Still, the "second tank" effect doesn't feel light-related. It's fast-acting - one moment I'm tired out of my mind, the next one I realize someone just plugged me up to a fresh battery - and the change occurs without any obvious prompt like changing locations or light levels.

As for social element, I'm not a party animal. But I am someone who suffers from something like 報復性熬夜 - "revenge bedtime procrastination". The late-night ours, after everyone around me is asleep and couldn't possibly bother me anymore, are the only time I feel I can finally unwind, relax, and recover. I've had this for a long time, but I'm fairly certain it's a downstream effect - that is, my difficulty getting up and extra energy kicking it after dark were something I've had for much, much longer.
Should the response time from an API affect the payload? I would suggest that body language helps the feedback loop. Body language does not change the transmission or the content.

A manager raising their voice does not change the message. Being more confident with myself, the volume, intensity, or cadence no longer impacts me in the same way as it did before. I now look forward to those moments of calm responses to the unprofessional interactions.
