Last time I used it was last week ago, when I was comparing it to a docker install of Whisper/torch.

Then again, I'm using it on very noisy audio recorded with a lavalier microphone while riding a bike.

For transcription tests of recordings from an answering machine medium was more than enough, not sure about small.

Also, for the recordings during a bike ride, sometimes medium is better than large.

All this was used in German language.

I don't have a Mac, but your approach with using VAD is interesting. I'll see if I can preprocess my files.
Bing/Sydney can play chess out of the box
Absolutely. The bombing of Dresden has been viewed as a mistake - verging on a war crime - in Britain for the last 20 or so years.
The thing in the article is a van, not a semi, though.
I was going to see if they imparted any meaning into the angle they chose to CSS transform, knowing Google and all, but alas, they just did 1 degree.

First off, I thought that it would be cool if they rotated a proportion of 360 degrees equal to the proportion of the change in orbital time period to the previous orbital time period of the asteroid. Then I realized that it changed by around 5%, so that would be 360 * 0.05 = 18 degrees. Not really readable.

That's 2 minutes that I'll never get back, but it's left me amused for some reason. Heh.
I imagine once the technology matures, this is what the results will look like.
Which APU do you have?
So the moon gets a leap second every 50 years. Why does that prevent you from using UTC?
Hungary and other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and even Southern Europe for that matter, have the added problem of EU-wide migration - lots of people, especially young people, choose to go live in a more developed country in the Western EU (usually France and Germany).
> They mean local lunar time, for coordination between actors on the moon. Lunar day length and even, due to gravity, second length differ from Earth (i.e., time moves at a different speed).

These two sentences aren't related to each other. Time moves at a different speed on the moon than it does on Earth. But that only affects interactions between the Earth and the moon. Two actors that are both on the moon are both on the moon; their Earth-based clocks will work without adjustment if their goal is to coordinate with each other.
I wouldn't worry about it, from what I gather the validity (of the claim erythritol: bad) of the study is questionable. Mainly because the study participants were very ill with hypertension, diabetes, CVD, and they didn't look at erythritol intake, just blood levels.

Layne Norton did a quick video explaining the shortcomings of the study.

The problem with studies like this is the reporting on them. I'm fairly sure most people reporting on this study did not actually read it (and you can't read it without paying). And it just plays into the confirmation bias that any non-nutritive sweetener is bad, despite them all being wildly different chemical compounds that all get metabolised in very different ways.
>Most billionaires are paper billionaires.

Watch out, this is peak bootlicker rethoric.

You take loans out using your shares as collateral. Why do you think Musk is panicking about Twitter being dogshit ? His shares are on the line. Their worth based on shares, converted to cash is the exact same number. Except that by taking a loan against it, they evade taxes at the same time.
The infrastructure since disproves your claim.

You are in for a very rude awakening in the next few years.
std::unordered_map is forced to be slow and make lots of allocations due to iterator invalidation requirements. It's usually a good choice to avoid it (and use a different hash table implementation) if you care about performance.

When I write Rust I understand exactly what structs I’m creating due to the typesystem + the excellent documentation. In Nix I’m always lost. What struct should my flake function return? What arguments can it take? Etc.
Disaster recovery is just one of many things that is much simpler in non-distributed systems.

You seem to be confusing a system that produces bad results 1% of the time with a system that's down 1% of the time. If you can only write the first kind of non-distributed system, you're in for a bad trip if you try to write a distributed equivalent.
that's the crazy bit - this field is at like, toddler levels of maturity, and it's already producing mind-blowing results.
Does anyone know the impact angle? I.e. the angle between the trajectories of DART and Dimorphos prior to impact?

I expect that a 90 degree angle would maximize the effect but would also make it hardest to hit the target.
Doesn't sound like a compelling reason against UTC. Add a leap second every 50 years for relativity.
Forty-Five Things I Learned in the Gulag (2018)
Are there any cases where the abseil maps are slower?

And: how often does this even matter? I'd guess very rarely.
It’s super vague. The only way I could find to understand how to create a flake (for https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/) was trial and error and diving into the nix codebase.
Unfortunately I'm not sure I'm going to manage to sell you our product (and won't even make you the offense to try): we decided to drop our desktop apps alltogether a few years ago and we only have a browser plugin now. Also I don't think we support yubikey login anymore as a result :/ (which I think is what you are referring to by "tap").

I hope you find a product that works for you!
Yeah, it would be nice if they made GMT the same as the international date line.
Just don't tip, simple as that, unless you are big supporter of tax evasion, low pensions and unfair salaries.

Btw. I just finished rewatching X-Files and I strongly recommend everyone here (especially to people who like Black Mirror) to watch episode S11E07 from X-Files reboot called Rm9sbG93ZXJz , which is about what happens if you refuse to tip machine/AI.

And btw. in China you don't tip and you can even bring your own drinks to restaurant, why not, you are paying for the meal after all.
I don't know about Windows, but I'm quite sure my Ubuntu Update mechanism has distributed BIOS updates to my Laptop.
> With timezones:

> * I want to call my friend in Germany. What time is it for her? I guess I'm UTC-7 and she's UTC+1, so she's 8 hours ahead of me. I know that everybody around the world typically wakes up between 6 and 9 AM and goes to sleep between 8 PM and midnight, and she's an early bird, so she should be awake.

> Without timezones:

> * I want to call my friend in Germany. It's the same time here as there. It rises at 13:00 here, but she's a quarter of the way way around the world. I have to look up their typical waking hours. She's an early bird, so is she on the early side of that, likely. What time does the sun rise there? How much does that change over the seasons?

This is actually the same thing. In both cases you have to know or look up that there's an 8 hour difference between the two of you.

The bits about the seasons and being an early bird apply equally to both cases, so it's not really relevant to the comparison.
Blender license does not impact the product created with it. It’s like a compiler. Or a pencil.
Looks like I was wrong. It has been a while since I checked. I guess the inflation in the rest of Europe really hit hard in comparison to Switzerland.
> Unless my maths is wrong isn’t it actually 200 milliseconds per year?

20, not 200.
What defines a codebase as realistic, exactly? There are many, many programs out there doing various things in various ways.
We should rename English to "European" while we're at it, or "Standard".
Put a flake.nix in your repo and you can configure the dev environment from there: what are the dependencies, how to build your project, etc.

It’s sort of like a makefile, but it’ll always work and will setup everything for you to be able to build
I highly doubt it. OpenAI, Google and Meta are not the only ones who can implement these systems. The race for AGI is one for power and power is survival.
Yeah, the article is really frustrating because it only addresses that question in a roundabout way. It says "The Precambrian Canadian Shield that stores vast mineral deposits is 2.7 billion years old, and once formed an ocean floor." - so I guess this water got trapped while the ocean floor was subducted or overlaid with sediments or whatever happened that brought it to its current depth?! So it's not the H2O molecules, but the whole liquid which has stayed there for that amount of time.

Referring back to your original question, it would be fascinating to find out what percentage of the water molecules in circulation on Earth today date back to the time when water first condensed out of the atmosphere (IIRC ~ 4 billion years ago) - but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Have you tried working freelance? I've had several big projects in the past where we've had accessibility requirements to meet and it always involves training testers and developers in the tools. I'd have happily paid a someone to consult on best approaches, run the tests, maybe train a few people to keep it going.
I just did THX
How about the Web?
I have a digirule 1. It's a fantastic teaching tool, great for seeing how large all the SMT package sizes are, and moderately -- but not completely -- useless as a ruler.
People in the first group can decide to not work for the people in the second group, if they don't like the setup. It's in the best interest of both groups to reach compromise, so people in first group can earn money and people in second group can make money.
Subaru of America has allowed factory orders for vehicles made at the Indiana plant for over a decade...
I doubt it, either way they were here before Europeans who declared them non-human and assumed ownership of the landmass based on that declaration.
I guess you mean "[0, ∞)". You cannot have infinitive delivery in computer systems.
Last time I checked you didn't pay a monthly fee to fill up your tank.

It's a whole different paradigm when you compare fill/charge as you go vs monthly recurring fees.

> Could it be useful to know when the sun would rise and set, or when Earth rises and sets, for the sake of having routines related to solar power or LOS communications?

The sun rises and sets over exactly one (Earth) lunar month, 29.5 days. That's what the phases of the moon are, the progression of sunlight over the face of the moon.

Earth never rises or sets; the near side of the moon always faces toward Earth, and the far side of the moon never faces toward Earth. (This is known as "tidelocking".)

So no, neither of those could be useful.
I think the point is that the clock on the moon runs faster from the point of view of an observer on Earth due to time dilation. I can't claim to understand it, but clocks "run slower" the deeper they are in a gravity well. To an observer colocated with the clock, it ticks accurately.

This isn't a new problem, though. GPS satellites have atomic clocks, and they drift 7uS or so per day due to time dilation.
You have to go out of your way to get to the gas station, go up to the pump, pay for it, and then get back on your way. It always takes me 5-10 minutes to get gas.

Wow. Gas stations are everywhere, conveniently located, and always on route to some place or another.

The mental gymnastics employed, to try to make this seem arduous, does not make for a compelling argument.
Not that I can think of an implementation off the top of my head, but there's gotta be non-ai ways to sanitize input before it even hits the model.

perhaps I'm just showing my ignorance if the problem space...

I don't think it's fine we're subsidizing domestic shipping rates to mail to foreign citizens on foreign soil, save maybe a few rare exceptions like they're acting in an official capacity on behalf of the US.
At least standard notes produce conflicting copies when collisions occur. Obsidian simply overwrites the old with the new, which makes it completely unusable to me. This is a non-issue if you always have reliable internet connection, but that's not always the case in practice. I don't like the way standard notes handles it, but at least I've never lost any notes with them.
There’s no honest answer to your question because it relies on a generalization and a vague metric. Clearly not all Google and Meta engineers lack competence. And competence depends on circumstances — the team, the project, the organization.

I think all organizations experience a Pareto distribution, where a relatively small number of people contribute the most to productivity. That doesn’t mean the majority lack competence, though it might. It could also mean the organization prevents people doing their best work. John Carmack said as much on his way out of Meta. Some projects fail even though the engineers did good work.

I think it’s going too far to suggest “engineers working for Google/Facebook are only good at memorizing Leetcode questions.”

On the other hand a shocking number of working programmers can’t effectively produce code. Jeff Atwood described this almost two decades ago.

The difference is in the pricing and the fact the core are "whole"

On intel aws, you pay per HyperThread. On Graviton, you pay per core.

But on this kind of workload and with modern schedulers, HT bump is rather limited. So in practice you are paying twice the price for the same number of cores.

This is the biggest contributing factor to that difference and i keep being surprised noone mention it.
You age at the same speed. Stuff that is far away from you may age more or less rapidly, but that effect only exists at the point where some kind of communication travels between you and the faraway stuff.

It is a common misconception that the birthrate is declining because of poor childcare support from the government. It is declining because people aren't getting married. The birthrate among married couples remains unchanged over the years. [0]

Personally, I'm quite happy with this trend because the social 空気 that the grown man must get married is getting weaker and weaker. Why would I want to get married when I can't even pay for my own shit?

Can you bring your own drinks to restaurant as in China? Of course also no tipping in China.

Here in Europe you can get by without tipping quite easily, but I don't think they would allow you to bring your own drinks and honestly it also doesn't make sense. Why can't I drink my own drink, am I not paying enough for the meal itself that you need to rob me on drinks? Might as well not going to your place at all and eat at home, if you have problem with my own drinks.

My theory is the early employees tend to be more competent than ones in the giant phase. The former built a lot of real shit, the latter learn from existing system and probably do ways few things. A lot of Leetcode engineers as well at some points. It's sort of like the process of getting higher education with a bunch of ineffective tests. Those who are optimized for taking tests passed and got in.
When I've done frontend work for government agencies, we have contacted the national association for blind people in my country, and gotten help from them (Norges Blindeforbund / The Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted). Could you perhaps reach out to a similar organization where you live and tell them of your services, so that when others reach out to that organization for help they can refer them to you?
Sure. They used to use motorcycles though. So the comparison is a little more favourable against a postie bike
I was so convinced .beats would take over the world (or solar system in this case). I had their watch, I installed their task-bar clock plugin for Windows 98, I harped on about it to my friends... a surprising number of which actually agreed it was a good idea.

Then it just kinda fizzled out. I'm still upset it didn't take off.
Mechanical incidents is one thing, but is it also the case of pilots declaring an emergency?

[edit] though it looks like they declared an emergency out of an abundance of caution
If you try to implement your own map you’ll naturally end up with this quirk.

operator[] returns a reference to a slot in the map which can be read from or assigned to. Since the reference must be valid, you better have allocated a slot in the map that can be written to if the value didn’t exist.
Seems like cherry (or is that lemon?) picking. The United States has failed projects too, as do all advanced economies. There’s no way Japan got where it is today if they can’t execute.
Large language models seem more useful for cutting down the number of "VP"s
This was written at a time when std::option didn't exist. Thus it needed to return T& instead of option<T&>. When std::option was added, they couldn't change the existing interface because of back compat and the lack of a migrator tool (e.g. Swift has major backwards incompatible source changes but they have a tool that will migrate your code fore you). C++ has warts like this all over the place.
I noticed that ChatGPT is absolutely terrible at many “factual” questions, where the answer is a date or person or list of such.

On the other hand it seems better at more abstract questions, as well as giving interesting background around some of the “why?” ones.

The coding ones I would limit to very short tasks that are easy to eyeball and verify: on one hand, the other day in 5-6 iterations it wrote me a functional prototype of an audio player (because I was bored to try to piece together the complexity that is WebAudio api); on the other hand once I tried to ask it to write a file upload code for a Rust web server ride - and it came up with three plausibly looking but totally invented frameworks :-)

So, I won’t let it do anything in an unsupervised fashion.
Important for facilitating fraud. I can't speak for the US specifically as I've never lived there but in the countries I know almost all cases of court proven voter fraud were connected with the postal service. Through interception of the mail, the fraudulent ordering of mail in ballots, "lost" mail in ballots that never got counted or simply because in some places the mail in ballots are counted separately and there is less oversight, so more of an opportunity to manipulate the count.

Also that doesn't even include all the cases where a relative helped the person fill out the ballot.
The takeaway is that we, humans, tend to reference things in non-universal frames of reference. Be it "morning" for time or "office" for location. Timezones can be seen as an emergent property of long-distance communication. Whatever the algorithm you choose the underlying problem with "inertial" frames of reference remains.
You have to walk to counter each time you want something in fast food restaurant, in a regular restaurant you have waiter for that. But yeah it's his job for which he is paid, so tips still don't make sense just for doing the job, I don't get tips for doing my job, neither does my wife and most of the occupations.
