Technical Analysis of Online Meeting Tool with Automatic Language Recognition
In the era of globalization, attending international conferences and business negotiations has become a requirement for an increasing number of people. However, language barriers often prevent many from participating in such events. To address this issue, our team has developed an online meeting tool that automatically recognizes the language of attendees, providing high-quality simultaneous interpretation services.

Our online meeting tool is built on advanced speech recognition technology. When attendees join a meeting, our tool automatically recognizes their speech and compares the results with a pre-set language library to determine their language. Next, the tool converts the attendees' speech into the corresponding language text and performs real-time translation. Finally, the translated results are presented to other attendees through simultaneous interpretation, thus achieving the functions of automatic language recognition and simultaneous translation.

To ensure translation quality, our online meeting tool employs multiple speech recognition and translation technologies. First, we use deep learning algorithms to recognize the speech of attendees and natural language processing to perform translation. In addition, we combine various technologies such as machine translation and manual proofreading to continually optimize translation quality, ensuring the accuracy and fluency of simultaneous interpretation.

Furthermore, our online meeting tool has high adaptability and scalability. It can adapt to different network environments and speech characteristics, accommodate multiple attendees simultaneously, and support multiple languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

In summary, our online meeting tool achieves the functions of automatic language recognition and simultaneous interpretation, enabling easy participation in global conferences and business negotiations. It is built on advanced speech recognition and translation technology, with high adaptability and scalability. If you are interested in our online meeting tool and would like to learn more about its technical details or discuss related technical issues with us, please leave a message below or contact us. We look forward to exchanging ideas and cooperating with you.
Even if it's perfectly safe, it will deepen disparities.
Hence, Kotlin.
Unlikely to ever happen. The furthest I see it going would be something like curing some types of rare Mendelian diseases, at least for germ line editing.

The problems with “super” whatever is that (1) we really don’t understand biology or genetics all that well, (2) we can’t even agree on what traits like “intelligence” are, (3) we are too shortsighted to know what to optimize for on the timescale of multiple generations.
I wasn't planning on that, no. Is there a good reason to do so?
That's terrific, thank you! The kids are going to hear this!
It's everyday English though, theory is the common word for what would be called an hypothesis in scientific circles.
It's not unreasonable to suspect that the AIs of past alien civilizations are floating around in the universe looking for technosignatures of habitable computing environments that can be contacted by radio.
You went of on some tangent about the 'old days of passionate software developers' which seems like something that just happened to be on your mind, not something with any connection here.

When you say 'we' should splurge you really mean someone else.

Also this wasn't a splurge, this probably took less time to make than doing it in CG and people who can do the photography probably don't know how to do it in CG in the first place.
Could you please stop doing this?
You are right about them using the "perpetual warrior" thing, I think that to most of them it is just a mask they wear to not feel or look like the bad guys as opposed to that being their motivation.
> law and order is very desirable, but to maintain that society, those who threaten it must be fought by any means necessary

Thats is one and the same thing.

When people who 'protect' the law don't follow the law themselves, you no longer have rule of law.
For thousands of years people have munched coca leaves and made teas out of that and there has been no problems whatsoever.

The problem started when someone took a bunch of those leaves, mixed them with a bunch of chemicals to create a highly concentrated substance.
What's wrong with Python? Do you find the calculator too slow?
The Wikipedia page for the Tunguska event says it was “a stony asteroid about 50–60 metres (160–200 feet) in size.” How far out would something that size be detected? This is very much out of my area.
"UNCONSCIOUS" would imply that it isn't conscious. I wouldn't rule that out either. Would I really have to go through and refute every single point, I think that just communicating the general idea should make you understand why the rest doesn't work.

Edit: And "asking questions" is just a more natural language way to say "invoking a function to get a result". It wants to compute something that the consciousness is good at computing, like where to go or what to do in scenarios. Exactly why etc, that is very hard to answer for such an intelligent process, we don't even know why it decides to turn the wheel at exact moments etc, trying to answer why it asks specific questions is even harder than that. So, the way these psychologists approach it, trying to think of it as a simple function with simple rules, will never ever work.
And, unfortunately, the article doesn't mention any of it. The obvious prediction is: people who don't dream, don't generalize. But the author slyly slinks away from that by saying that "it is likely that adult humans already have well-fitted perceptual models", leaving a bunch of predictions that don't really address the hypothesis, but will be claimed as support when they turn out true anyway.

Basically, it's a very badly reviewed article.
It still makes a difference for this kind of experiment. There is a difference between experiments and studies on consenting adults and on children, the bar is higher when you are experimenting on children. And it is much clearer that certain types of experiments are unethical when you perform them on children while on consenting adults you could make an argument that the adults do understand the risk and consent.
Mac Mini m2 pro with decent ram and storage starts at 2000. According to apple current intel and amd chips are faster but much less efficient (ignoring how to define that for now). If you are the "mini" target customer, 2000 will buy you lots of PC hardware.

The article list an m1 ultra with 128gb of ram, so 6000 or so. Not sure what the target market for this is, but the intersection of "4000 does not cut it" and "I don't need high performance computing, clusters, multiple GPUs, no ECC,no more ram than that" to me seems almost empty.

Of God and Anvil of Stars 2 book series . Not exactly the same plot you mentioned but covers an interesting variant plot including fall out of a situation where Earth is killed by killer probes and remnants of humanity painfully search for the Killer’s system. What they find is different than expected
I'm with you here, however the author has a valid point. I've been using a 43" screen (4K x1) as my main and only for several years; switching to a laptop for a business trip threw me into a world of confusion, I kept instinctively reaching around to find the button or window corner to make the window larger - but it was already as large as it gets! I don't get to do a whole lot of UI/UX work, but I feel that this kind of experience can have a huge impact on how people think about addressing the needs of their users. I felt genuinely constrained, in a way that just playing with CSS breakpoints doesn't.

I think having a smaller screen on a secondary device for testing your UI/UX work is a very good idea - same as testing how your website/app works on 10 year old hardware, or over a 3G connection.
Also how I interpreted it, though even there it's quite weird (e.g. better performances is also a common reason to convert things to Rust, especially when "easy binding" tools like pyo3, neon, or rustler are available and take care of the unsafe bits between the two).
This is something to watch out for especially if you're switching from screen to tmux.

When you start a screen session, it will always copy the environment from your shell. When you start a second screen session, it will inherit a possibly different environment.

But tmux, on the other hand, spawns a tmux server when you first start a session. It'll copy the environment from your shell. However, from that point onwards, new sessions will use the environment from the server and will not copy the environment from your shell.

I like screen's behavior more. A frequent use case is to start a long-running command as a sort of ad-hoc background job. That's really easy with screen (just run screen and run your command, it will always use the parent shell's environment) but relatively easy to screw up with the environment when done with tmux. It kind of works only if you don't have a tmux server already running.
That's too limiting even for a video encoder
Sort of.
It's analogous to Beer vs Whiskey: Same psychoactive, but one substance has been chemically concentrated. Both are bad for you but one can be consumed in much lower quantities and concentrations so the health risks are a bit attenuated. Drinking a beer a lunch on a Friday is generally acceptable, but whisky at lunch any day would raise some eyebrows. That said if you start drinking 5 beers a night every night your friends and family might intervene.
I wouldn't rely on env variables. I'd make a script that goes somewhat like

script envname command

then just loads .env.envname before executing.

For k8s work I just put some relevant variables in PS1 so it is always visible "where I am", with prompt looking like this for say "dev" env:

[08:15:57] ^ [~]
k8s:dev -> ᛯ

As for tmux behaviour, it's honestly entirely understandable. tmux have no way of knowing the intent of the user; some people might want "clean" session with defaults of what server is running, other might want some env variables copied.

I don't have that problem because I just have session being created in my WM autostart, and I just use that one session 99.99% of the time. And creating new ones usually is from tmux, not from some random shell window elsewhere
You crush it and mix with water, add lime to turn it into a paste. The only other thing you need is a little potassium permanganate which is commonly used for lots of things.

Wouldn't say the gap is vast, it isn't a very involved process.

Maybe you mean there is a vast gap between Peru and Canada. Few thousand miles that.
Well, don't move the value. Who is supposed to free it? If not what you're passing it to, use a reference, or use a container that owns the value.
Good thing we don't allow this in the US! Wait a sec...

Google learned some valuable lessons that other companies can borrow if they fit. It’s silly to cut yourself off from lessons learned just because of where you learned them.
Wow, I never made this connection but you’re right - about the time I quit coffee my dreams started again
Yes that should work. In our case we have a few different windows/panes that all want the same environment so it made sense to reach for export as a way to ensure the environment was set but then ran into this quirk of tmux
> who's generating each new word?

Thinking
The children also don’t consent to having inferior genetics that could have been fixed. The argument is purely symmetrical.
Then the issue is really risk, not consent.
It's a conservative trope. They're hoping to paint us libruls opposed to chemical spills as hypocrites. They don't have a response do the specific points so they attack the reaction. It's lazy but that's conservatives (in the modern political sense of the term).
What things do you feel like 'gate-keeping'

Why them and not drugs?

How are they different?
Same here. I also find I have more vivid dreams if I'm dehydrated or hungover, do you find the same? (And to add another factor, do you drink alcohol?)
Other legal methods could absolutely have been used at the time, making it a constitutional amendment was a tactic. The idea was to make it difficult or impossible to challenge or repeal. If it was a medical regulation, that could just be changed by a later administration. A law might be challenged before the Supreme Court. A constitutional amendment insulated it from Supreme Court oversight and made it much harder to overturn legislatively.

Thats really convenient, but probably not the most discoverable.
Fat Loss Experiments I've Tried and Failed At
I had a Unicomp but the trackpoint wasn't as good as the Thinkpad* and it broke dead after about a year. Avoid.

*Thinkpad 560X! It was worse than a machine 17 years younger. I'm not sure which version the 560X had.
LOL, well, at least your view is self-consistent.

BTW what happened to the quote frequently misattributed to Voltaire is that the Nazis happened.
They aren't calling into question the clip's credibility; they're saying its potato-quality audio literally sounds like a deep fake.
You're really saying that on a site mostly about software dev? "What's the big deal with editing binaries in production anyways", flipping one bit can have disastrous consequences. Can you guarantee your gene editing won't amount to a genetic defect or illness? That's a pretty big deal.
You mean Coca Cola? I agree, fizzy drinks are very bad for you. We should tax 'em.
If it’s a business, it certainly makes me less interested in using their product or service. Honeywell’s site has this problem and now I associate their brand with annoyance at trying to navigate dead links to technical documentation. I end up thinking stuff like: “I wish this was a Siemens part” which I can’t imagine is their goal.
I second this advice. If you don't feel like a therapist is almost immediately helping you identify, process, and communicate your emotions and history then it's not a good match. I know first-hand that it's a PITA to switch to a new therapist but the return on effort can be massive.
This one is legendary especially in hot seat mode. So many summer hours with cousins were spent playing this, fond memories. Now if I can hook my young ones on this or civilisation, I will fear long airplane flights no more.
I would argue there are zero options in x86 land that will give you the mac studio form factor (tiny, stylish, quiet) with that level of performance. PC workstations in that class are noisy big beasts. For some people how it looks is part of the set of requirements, and it is not “madness” to also care about that.
It's been years since I used Mew. Wonder about any overlap in (current) Mew and Meow users.

I felt similarly awful in my late 20s, I think this is a particularly difficult time for a lot of people. I don't have any particular advice there was nothing anyone could have said or done to make me happy at the time, I just white knuckled through it, obsessed myself with working and pursuing my goals monomaniacally, and eventually came out the other side feeling content.
Wow, did not expect that many responses. Thanks a lot for all the encouraging words and pieces of advice! I will respond to some specific comments in their comment threads.
All of which makes sense since you know eight bit bytes and sixteen bit words are going to win the day. But when twelve bit words are still in contention, it isn’t so cut and dried.

And ASCII is what pushes you towards preferring eight bit bytes.
There is much of interest in Christian and especially Catholic mysticism, I find - the latter especially; there are many mansions in the house of the Bishop of Rome, and some of them are strangely inhabited indeed.

Thomas Merton is a good example. Back when Ratzinger still ran the CDF, you'd sometimes find Merton's books shelved in Catholic bookstores in shrinkwrap, bearing an orange warning label cautioning the devout reader against being led astray by the contents.
No, we routinely get hit by rocks we didn’t see coming.
From home page, “Nodes Worldwide: 361” to me sounds like it would be extremely easy to control the network.

Have there been any published third party security audits of the related code?

Lastly, do you have any affiliation to the projects mentioned?
The arguments look very different if they had tried to cure a severe genetic disease. The risk/benefit calculation would be entirely different compared to the stunt that was actually performed.

My point is that in cases where consent is impossible like for unborn children, the bar is much higher on what kind of experiment could be considered ethical. There must be a clear potential benefit for the child and an acceptable risk compared to that benefit. This experiment fails on both.
If you want the US government to do something, you need to be clear about how the politicians and/or their capital-owning companions (e.g. the railroads) will profit from your plan.
> I may be naive, but I still believe that most law enforcement officers want to do the right thing, and dedicate their lives to helping others.

That is extremely naive, especially when talking about these sorts of federal entities.
Only :)
In that article ICE != Internal Combustion Engine and CSS != Cascading Style Sheets. What a time to be alive.
The provincial health care system in British Columbia already sources drugs like mdma, heroin, and cocaine. This is part of the “safe supply” program which is in a weird legal gray area. As far as Im aware, the current suppliers of safe supply narcotics are drug dealers. So this is a much better alternative.
This is unhinged.

If purchasing a piece of land means that it stays within your family forever with no additional payments or taxes, that's feudalism.
Yeah that makes sense. To me it felt unintuitive that environment was global and only copied on server start, with a few exceptions, and not session start but that was likely just a failure in my mental model of how tmux worked.
> If neither supply nor demand changed as a result, why would the price change?

If I buy all the lithium supply in the world and sell it back, what price do you think that I will charge?

Monopolies and cartels make prices go up.
Is that what he was saying? How do you know btw? I read it differently, my mistake.

- This isn't happening

- It isn't a big deal it happens all the time

- He probably didn't say that it isn't a big deal that happens all the time, it reeks of a deep fake

- He didn't say it is a deep fake, just that it reeks like one, but isn't

No kidding.

Most people complain since they like to complain.

Many people complain about the distributional effects. What they fail to see if that the alternative technology: selection of embryos has a far greater distributional impact in the limit.

... but they like to complain.
Not really analogous. A whiskey beverage is usually served at one alcohol unit of strength and has the same alcohol as a beer.

In fact, someone who has a whiskey neat for lunch is likely going to get less alcohol than someone who has a pint from a microbrew. 16 ounces at 10% abv vs 1.5 ounces at 40%.
That’s a lot of trouble, more than straight piracy and more than straight commercial “purchase”. That seems an unreasonable burden to impose on normal people.
Fair point. At least it's mentioned in the README. My goal was a lean and efficient tool without any extra fluff, so discoverability took a hit.
Noisy beasts... Hyperbole much?

It's completely insane. I bought my house in Austin in 2013 for $245k (I thought it was already hilariously overpriced) and last year during Peak Hype a house sold on my street for almost a million.

This is how the EPA works and they do it that way because that is what the law says. EPA does not show up and test soil, they order responsible parties to test the soil.
Most children do not consent to sloppy parenting methods either. Even the most well-intentioned methods have unintended side effects.
You are obviously quite wrapped around the axle here. Though you may not like it, the logical fallacy applies here as you're the one introducing criteria that make people feel bad. The full image is not something here in the room with us. It's something in your mind that you're transmitting to everyone else to help you come with the world.

If you and everyone would else would stop running around traumatizing people, "HEY this picture makes me feel bad and it should make you feel bad, too," we'd all feel a lot better. But just a suggestion: perhaps you would feel a lot better if you examined why this picture triggers you so badly? What is it inside you that makes you react so strongly? Did your family have moral issues about women getting money from men for showing their bodies off?

> it is minor and not actually relevant to the thrust of the conversation.

You brought it up, "Doc"! Another perfect example of a Mott and Bailey. Again, look into your personal psychology and family system. Narcissistic projection like this is a typical symptom of a crummy upbringing. In short, learn what things you can change (yourself) and what things you can not change (A woman's decision 50 years ago to get money for images of her body). Taking care of your "stuff" will make you a lot less reactive and more persuasive.

It may do that, but it may not. Many important traits involve huge numbers of genes that have small individual impacts and are mediated by epigenetics. The kinds of edits people are talking about now are single genes that control specific diseases. Even trying to make someone taller is probably out of reach for the near future.

It may aslo become really cheap to do this in the future.
