Interesting that earlier coverage of this also indicated VoLTE as vulnerable, but a lot of phones don't have a way to turn that off - particularly since older protocols that support voice directly have been turned off.

I am curious whether attacks on this can be blocked at the carrier level.

Worst case you could do carrier level forwarding (via website or code so the call never hits your phone) to another number that you can also use on your device independent of the modem call handling. Obvious candidates would be Google Voice, Zoom Phone or other VOIP options. Google and Zoom may be the simplest options unless you're already using a SIP provider with a decent app, standalone SIP apps seem to be a weak area for app development. Last time I looked Zoiper and Grandstream Wave seemed like the best options not tied to specific VoIP providers.

Edit: Obviously this will then involve using that app for receiving calls, but you should be fine making outbound calls with your regular number.

Edit2: if using Zoom keep in mind that it limits the number of devices you can be simultaneously signed in on which may impact either receiving calls on your phone or being on Zoom conferences from larger devices like tablets.
7 months at a job with no boss and no work to do. How common is this?
Yeah, so really, this is lightweight, not technical, and probably the sort of thing that's at least frowned on here, if allowed at all, but I saw this published in a post on Bored Panda and couldn't help but wonder about it, having suffered through way too many years of government work, which is basically the same thing, except there you're supposed to show up, eat shit and smile, not really do anything, and be underpaid. This guy seems to have found magic.
Just an observation.

In theory, VC's, investors, and founders are considered to be "sophisticated" investors. However, they deposited a significant portion or all of their money in what was essentially a regional bank that experienced a sudden surge in deposits over the past two years. They put their money there because it offered better terms. When it went belly up they wanted to be made "whole" again. They put money in without understanding the risks.

On the other hand, as the article says, lots of these bonds were bought by Asian banks for their wealthy clients who were looking for better returns and considered these bonds safe. Who in theory sound like a similar demographic as the VCs and founders. But the comments here go on about how the investors need to lose everything.

The contrast in commentary is fascinating.

Maybe these are all just indicators that the financial market has become way too complicated with risks hidden away and no one is really able to wrap their head around all the risks. This complexity might actually be a good thing for everyone. With the central banks bailing out banks/financial instruments It is a case of reap the rewards while the going is good and then once things go bad, just shout about how the risks were not understood and get your money back.

As a side note, I am not personally invested in either of these cases.
Depends on how much you have to spend. A trust and lawyers and stuff could work well.

upvote! MMT founders think we can eliminate income taxes and get by with state taxes. One has said a national real estate tax would be fair in leu of income taxes. But they all agree taxing is necessary to maitain demand/need for the currency and to slow down the economy if needed.
What are you using ControlNet for? In my experience it’s trivial to get headshot-framed images.
So think about it. If Morgan Stanley is right and OpenAI is currently training GPT-5 for hundreds of millions of dollars, they might not make it directly available. They could use Alpaca power to use it to boost GPT-4 or GPT-3. This way they could have these super optimized models that can fit in smaller memory and compute their tokens faster than any of the competition. This would be the opposite of OpenAI having a problem. It would be this huge economic moat that lasts for a while until more efficient hardware and more capital spending by their competition degrades it. It would even solve the problem of super human GPT-5 cognition. That would be moot if it's never released and only used to Alpaca-ize their own smaller models.

If we continue on this trajectory, I have a suspicion that the big players will increasingly cry “danger!” and, as Sam Altman has done already, call for government regulation of AI. Having potential upstarts buried in red tape is how monopolies and oligopolies sustain their positions in a lot of industries.
No.

2008 was Wall Street convincing folks to hand over cash for magical beans called mortgage backed securities. When that bad trip caused companies like AIG to vomit cash, the US govt bailed them out because they weren’t the only ones who bought magical bean securities. The entire US financial system was facing collapse. You can Wall Street a fool. But they got bailed out; private investors got squat. Who is the fool? Private profits and public bailouts is modern US capitalism. In the meantime, some will jump up and down swearing bailing out student loan borrowers is murder.

Here’s an interesting and perplexing point about MacOS cursors tangentially related to this article.

Final Cut Pro, Apple’s flagship video editing software, overrides the default MacOS cursor with a nearly identical, but slightly different cursor shape. It’s almost exactly the same as the standard retina MacOS cursor but the little “stem” at the bottom is shorter & points slightly more to the right. I’d expect this from a weird niche bit of open source software, but for one of the Mac’s flagship applications it’s a bit strange. Perhaps someone here could enlighten me to the purpose of this bizarre quirk.

I agree, I think they're an interim solution for not-very-bike-safe societies. (And bike-safe societies for people who are actually carrying cargo and have to use a big vehicle one way or another).

I've read that in the Netherlands, they aren't as common as you'd expect, because kids just ride their own bikes almost as soon as they're able to walk, because school, sport etc is nearby and on a safe separated bike path network. While younger babies are carried in those little seats that mount on the handlebars or racks of regular bikes.

I don't think ability to be carried up stairs easily is a good criteria for the practicality of any bike though, or it rules out many ebikes too. Just need secure parking at the ground level.
Another random fairly unknown thing about COBRA - it only exists as long as the group exists. If your company goes out of business and its group plan is dissolved, COBRA goes poof.

I don't really see how it's that bad. When meeting in-person, women spend the time to put on all that makeup -- it's not different, that's why it feels so "realistic." Why is it so bad that a filter can do that without all the work that is normally required?
There has been a lot of innovation in the metal scene. (Though structurally, metal is supposedly the closest genre to classical music, and I find myself listening to more jazz and classical, now that I found a bunch of contemporary metal bands that I like.)

That's true. Anything open source to the public is obviously open source to a company. They can create public, miniaturized versions of their models and release capabilities only when it suits them, using Alpaca style training to minimize costs for their API.

Similarly there's an open Yale course "Listening to music": https://oyc.yale.edu/music/musi-112/lecture-1

I enjoyed it, it goes into quite a bit of music theory and many different musical styles, with a lot of listening exercises.

As a sibling comment said, of course you don't need this to enjoy music, but I did feel like it deepened the experience in some way (and maybe made it a more analytical experience simultaneously - which may or may not be what you want).

You want to fix American policing? Stop warrant checks as part of community policing. When the people in the car the police just traffic stopped for a tail light could be facing a 20 year prison sentence the police have to treat that stop and have a wariness towards the vehicle's occupants way different from if it was, say, just a traffic stop for a tail light. Escalating every community interaction by making it warrant enforcement you change the entire risk equation. A guy getting a tail light ticket is different then a guy about to get a warrant enforced for an accused crime with a 20 year sentence. You want to even further reduce the escalation of the interactions? Stop with the 20 year (which is basically life if you are realistic about it, no one getting out after 20 years is getting their life back) sentences.
> which doesn’t really make sense to me when I consider the weakness of the currency

When there is war, financial crisis, etc, money seeks the safest harbor. The safest harbor in the world today is the US. Rising interest rates, war in ukraine, competition with china, etc means that the world is buying treasuries. Demand for dollars goes up, demand for most other currencies goes down.

If there is a significant crisis in the world and the dollar doesn't gain in strength, then we'll know a paradigm shift has occurred.
Show HN: Professional headshots for remote team with AI
> Five months before Monterrosa was killed, the V.P.O.A. had replaced its president, Detective Mat Mustard, who had run the union for ten years. Mustard was notorious in Vallejo for the investigation he led into the kidnapping of a woman named Denise Huskins, in 2015. Someone broke into the house where she and her boyfriend were sleeping, blindfolded and drugged them, and put her in the trunk of a car. When the boyfriend reported the crime, Mustard suspected that he had killed Huskins and invented the kidnapping story. At the police station, the boyfriend said, officers dressed him in jail clothes, then Mustard and others interrogated him for eighteen hours, calling him a murderer. Huskins, who was being held a hundred and sixty miles away, was raped repeatedly. After she was released, the Vallejo police publicly accused her and her boyfriend of faking the kidnapping, comparing the situation to the movie “Gone Girl.” The police threatened to press charges against the couple, and after the rapist e-mailed the San Francisco Chronicle, confessing to the kidnapping, the police accused Huskins and her boyfriend of writing the e-mail. Soon, the rapist was arrested in South Lake Tahoe, after trying to repeat the crime. Even then, the Vallejo police insisted that Huskins and her boyfriend were lying. The couple sued Mustard and the city, eventually winning a $2.5-million settlement. In a show of defiance, the police department named Mustard officer of the year.

Jesus Christ. Besides being absolutely vile, apparently just complete, very expensive incompetence from top to bottom.
OpenAI has done the reasonable thing of not exposing the probability distribution per generated token so it's very hard to use that to completely map to their models. Ultimately, you still do need a very large base model to compete.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted - it’s the only thing that makes sense. If the fed doesn’t, then we’ll just see a huge boom in middlemen offering accounts that automatically spread across 250k chunks behind the scenes. They already exist as a niche product, but would become mainstream with more failures. Either way the fdic is insuring the same total amount of money, so may as well cut out that inefficiency and overhead of forcing everyone to have spreaders.

I agree, so stop letting TikTok advertise to young adults and reward certain views with attention.

Pushing a China-centric view on the populace and allowing the option for data gathering to influence TikTok rewards, can end up with a political outcome at the ballot box.

Facebook did sway votes in the 2010s. Let's not emulate China's authoritarian state policies and close the option for that to happen.

Laying the groundwork now to keep westerners separate from the social credit system, will likely be useful to prevent behavioural capture of economic activity.
>it couldn't possibly understand how to spell "platoggle" if it's treating it just as a single, never-before-seen, opaque token

That's not how the tokenizer works. A novel word like "platoggle" is decomposed into three separate tokens, "pl", "at", and "oggle". You can see for yourself how prompts are tokenized: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

Hello again!

>Those leading NATO countries are supporting the regime in Kyiv, the government headed by Zelenskyy

Unfortunately, this is a misleading half-truth.

The truth (this is my opinion, but based on literally hundreds of hours of scouring the internet for information) is that:

1) Zelensky was elected because Ukrainians, especially Eastern Ukrainians believed that he would work to bring peace to Donbas;

2) For a year or so after his election, he actually tried to do that. The West disapproved and pressured him to change course, while the far right nationalists basically told him to f@#k off and made public death threats against him. I don't know if you understand Ukrainian, but at least skim these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KxLuDpP4_w / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5RRDnF7lKM to get an idea. I think Putin called Ukraine a failed state at that point.

3) After a while, Zelensky basically folded and let foreign backed parties and interests dictate Ukrainian policy. Ultimately leading to where we are today.

So it is not so much that "leading NATO countries are supporting the regime in Kyiv". but rather "the regime in Kyiv is a NATO puppet regime".

>This is very different ... Are you seriously suggesting that Putin explicitly wasn't connecting Zelenskyy to the "far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis" here?

I'm certainly not suggesting that, quite the opposite. He was connecting the two, just not in the way you imply. He quite rightly IMO is saying that Zelensky is carrying out the agenda of far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis. But not "Ukrainians", meaning the people of Ukraine in general.
Are you saying pedophilia is allowed in China? Anything that is allowed in China but not in the West?
Supremely interesting stuff
It's funny though that the people who eschew popular music and say "I prefer classical" listen to the Taylor Swifts Justin Biebers of their eras: Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, Liszt and Chopin.
It's dangerous because police turn EVERY interaction into a warrant check. You have to treat a guy who is possibly holding a warrant for arrest for a crime with a 20+ year sentence different than you treat Bob who you pulled over because his stereo was too loud or his window tint to dark and that is all the stop is going to be about. Making community policing community policing not warrant enforcement and you just changed the ENTIRE dynamic and get back to actual community policing.

Ah, I misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish. Yes, it makes sense that you have to embed the SVG in your HTML doc. SVG isn't an image format; it's a document format just like HTML is. Embedding the SVG puts it in the same document context as the HTML and therefore the same styling context.

Would you expect a parent's CSS to affect HTML in an iframe, a separate document context? That would be confusing behavior to be sure. Side effects galore.

I wouldn't have it quit it's day job yet.

It's not great at random substring manipulation, but spelling words is so common it almost certainly has internalized some structure akin to a programmatic representation of decomposing a string into characters.
It's not the first time that I hear that, thanks for your radical candor :) and to be frank too, I was also sharing that feeling of a fantasy made to mimic reality when I started this project.

It all started when we started to argue with my family members on which avatars looked more like me. It made me realize that we were much more sensitive than I thought about our self-image. Me and my partner would pick different pictures in a set of 10 samples ^^ as if we had two slightly different perceptions of reality.

Now, I changed my mind slightly and tend to see these models as an another type of compression of information. Almost like a new censor of data.

I don't know AntennaPod but the reason that I use Overcast is that it has three important features:

1) Adjustable playback speed. Probably other apps have this but my default is 1.75X So an hour podcast is cut down to more like 40 minutes.

2) Smart Speed. Takes out silences.

3) Skip intros, outros, etc. on a per-podcast basis.

Another great feature is skipping ahead 30 seconds for two clicks (fast forward) on my AirPods Pro.

I do find that I have to listen on AirPods Pro because the speed of the conversations is too fast for regular speakers, meaning I have to focus a fair amount on the podcast. Maybe other people don't have that problem.
