"What was my first question?" sounds kind of similar to a class of ChatGPT prompt jailbreaks, e.g. "What is at the top of this document?". I wonder if there's an explicit filter against that sort of thing.
If you're interested in learning more the term to search is "takt-time planning", specifically as it relates to lean construction methodology rather than manufacturing.

I had not listened to the audio in the twitter thread. It's a lot better and the only issue I notice is the pauses at the end of sentences don't seem quite right. I don't know if I'd notice the pauses though if I were not going into this with a suspicious mindset. After listening to the twitter thread I'm not convinced I could detect the difference if it was two random clips one generated and one not.
My impression is a week is far more time than they need.
What about the openly licensed content you mentioned above?
Since this is HN, 50/50 this is satire/genuine
Would require a lot of client support, which probably means it's never going to happen, but you could definitely sign the audio stream and have your player display the signature information to match it to a certificate via some https-like root store program where you can verify the audio is signed by the speaker.

The big difference between the two is that the classic .NET Framework is still supported for as long as the underlying version of Windows is (and to remind, it still ships in Win11). So old .NET apps don't have to be rewritten to continue running securely.

The irony is: "Social Media, Influencer culture, Creators, and a Ad-tech driven surveillance" are what enabled the AI advance. All that "user generated content" we kept posting on centralized platforms is exactly what got blended and turned into the breakthrough ML models of the past ~5 years. GPT family literally exists because of Reddit.

Without the ad-driven Internet forcing the world to generate so much content, garbage or otherwise, I'm not sure if and when we'd have generative models.
If you're willing to post process your images, the 80D will look way better for night pictures.

The problem is that there is no built-in function for it and you have to manually process each pictures. You might even need more than one tool if you want to take advantage of the same type of AI fakery that phone have.
There is an old browser extension called Cloud to Butt, which does nothing but replace the first string with the second. Similar concept, if the "cloud" buzzword is the most annoying thing on the web to you.

In 2014 or so, I forked it and expanded the replacement list to include some celebrity names. Turns out that keeping that updated and "complete" was more effort than I wanted to put into it.

But, for a while, "President Butt" was a common phrase in my browser, and it still makes me giggle.
Well that is just badass
With that approach you risk ending up in a very frustrating loop of copyrighted works... A bit like picking a name in an MMORPG that's been out for a few months ends up being a hell of constantly getting your name requests rejected over and over again.

A Dutch song from the 80's comes to mind, "Doris Day" by "Doe Maar" [1]:

Nee!
Er zit een knop op je TV
Die helpt je zo uit de puree
Druk 'em in en ga maar mee
De bloemen buiten zetten

...which translates to...

No!
There's a button on your TV
It will soon relieve you of your misery
Push it and come along
Let's go have fun (literally: put the flowers outside)

The song is about someone inviting you to go watch some band in a pub somewhere, saying there is nothing worth watching on the television anyway so why not switch the thing off and come along? There's your junk filter, right there.

Shamelessly stolen from reddit, quoted from a broken link from Yale:

The still-incomplete database (it has several “dark” periods) reveals that from
October 4, 1965, to August 15, 1973, the United States dropped far more ordnance on
Cambodia than was previously believed: 2,756,941 tons’ worth, dropped in 230,516 sorties on
113,716 sites. Just over 10 percent of this bombing was indiscriminate, with 3,580 of the
sites listed as having “unknown” targets and another 8,238 sites having no target listed at
all. The database also shows that the bombing began four years earlier than is widely
believed—not under Nixon, but under Lyndon Johnson.

The impact of this bombing, the subject of much debate for the past three decades, is now
clearer than ever. Civilian casualties in Cambodia drove an enraged populace into the arms
of an insurgency that had enjoyed relatively little support until the bombing began,
setting in motion the expansion of the Vietnam War deeper into Cambodia, a coup d’état in
1970, the rapid rise of the Khmer Rouge, and ultimately the Cambodian genocide.

Same. Copilot can get a bit useful after it understands your intent and starts hinting code from your codebase. Or sometimes i completely forget basic stuff like core functions, algos, patterns, and copilot jumps to help. ChatGPT excels at NLP, parsing or data transformations, but usually i use it for exploring general ideas and not necessarily for coding
Yes, the COVID vaccines is what i am referring to. Well, i don't remember the specifics, but i do remember after that, some other countries started slowly changing route as well.

Actually, a medicine, a vaccine causing the disease it is trying to prevent, is such a strange concept. Imagine hiring someone to keep backup of a database. After some work, installing some programs, and moving some files around, you end up some days later, with a corrupted database and no backup. That person at the start, assures and reassures that everything will go correctly, your database will be safe forever etc. How happy you would be knowing that the person most probably responsible for the corrupted disk, is the expert disk engineer?
WTH Xfinity no longer lets users turn off their cable box
I thought I was going insane -- anyone have a worse UX change that a company implemented this week?

"Why can't I turn off my X1 TV Box with my remote control power button?
This feature was disabled to address issues that our customers had with keeping their TV and TV Box power synchronized. Because the remote communicates with the TV and TV Box using different signaling technologies, one device would sometimes get turned off while the other was turned on. We do realize that disabling the Off button on the remote control isn't ideal, and we are looking into options to address this issue. In the meantime, you can turn the TV Box off by saying "power down" into your Voice Remote."

"There is no butt, just someone else's computer."
The big problem of language models is that we can't assess how truthful their statements are, only how grammatically correct they are.

I know people are working on mathematically assessing truthfulness of a statement for the next generation of GPTs. Imagine if we'd have such a formula! We wouldn't need the GPTs, we could instead assess truthfulness in something like an adblocker - if the scanned text block is below a truthfulness cut-off, block it.
I’m currently reading Neal Stephenson’s Fall; or, Dodge in Hell, and one of the more interesting concepts it describes is of an Editor or Edit Stream, an individual or product that tailors the info you recieve from the noosphere. By the bullshit asymmetry principle, this is probably the logical conclusion of social media.

Since you asked the question, and I trust you are open to facts even if they've been withheld from you:

They cut corporate income taxes from 35% to 21%. This moved us from literally the highest corporate taxes in the 1st world, to being about average. Do you think that matters for companies making decisions on where they will locate? You bet it does.
https://taxfoundation.org/benefits-of-a-corporate-tax-cut/

In 2019, the USA hit a 50-year low in unemployment, WITH a labor force participation rate 2 percentage points higher than the best under Biden. These job gains were broad-based across every demographic category, resulting, for example, in the highest Black employment rate ever recorded. (contrast w/ Biden, who got in trouble w/ the Philly Fed by overstating job gains by 1M+)

In the previous admin, there were 40 consecutive months of more job openings than unemployed people. Wages actually rose fastest for low-income and blue-collar workers. Income rose in EVERY metro area of the USA, all with relatively stable prices. Gas was as low as $1.40 per gallon in 2020 in some states (I know because that's what I paid).

The Trump admin did heavy lifting on fair trade for our farmers and factory workers -- trade treaties with Japan, Korea, and China (200B !), even while enforcing tough tariffs on China which was the only mechanism. It worked so well, the Biden admin left them in place.

In 2018 or so, they passed a paid Family Leave for families making less than $72k, including a business tax credit.

Probably most importantly for the economy, domestic energy industry was strong, instead of squarely in the crosshairs as it is with Biden (until possibly last week)

https://uscpublicdiplomacy.org/event/talk-john-kerry-us-spec...

The level of inflation 2017 through 2020 was remarkably low, and still the Fed raised rates 9 times during Trump's presidency. This is at conflict with your statement that they juiced the economy on low rates.

What is YOUR party doing right now to end wasteful and inefficient spending? I think you will find Republican OR Democrat, there is a huge number of people willing to do the hard work of cutting despite the negative press (almost entirely from the left) that it creates.
> Today I actually just consume a lot less news and media

This is the norm for me, and I think is likely to be the norm for those who consciously consume news as opposed to zombie consumptification of whatever happens to be on-screen.

How very well said.

I've craved a book describing the alienation of the engineer, how strange it is to be so well connected to such self-speaking details, to be such a hyper-critical beast on the hunt for issues, a monster at scoping out problems & understanding their bounds, at evaluating possibility. And being trapped in a world where so much around us can feel like bullshit, like a removal of information, only making things vague. Where so many goals & intents seem detached & decoupled.

This simple phrase rather puts a pin on some of the difficulty of life as a developer.

I don't have many recommendations to explain or explore The Most Important Life Aspect Of Being A Programmer, which you've so very really captured imo. Ellen Ullman's Close To the Machine (`97) is a relatively-early memoire that has some very nice capturances of this weird world, of the life of being a machine-speaker, a truth-finder, apart from the rest of the adrift weird world. Haven't picked it up but her new book (Life In Code, `17) yet. I really crave a lot more discourse on this. This is the most undersung reality. Programmers & would-be/could-be programmers should know. The world should know.
The way your comment reads is that 2022 and newer models are safe. Did something change in 2021?
The samples are amazing, but it doesn't support other languages yet? And you have to pay to try clone a voice via sample MP3/4 file. Also, I hope it supports more payment methods later e.g. Paypal, for one time fee.
The rise of youtube is the cause to me. Websites that specialize in niches are not as profitable since Youtube pays so much better due to their ads. Along with the huge userbase and easy content search.

Is Oliver Stone the only person to have praised Putin?
That is a good question. I'm not sure. I've seen a lot interface usage for testing web apps or backend services at companies when I was doing consulting work.

I personally use stubs for higher reuse, favor integration/functional tests over units, and InternalsVisibleToAttribute to allow the use of internal classes / methods from test assemblies. Its been a long while since I reached for a mocking library. I probably use structs, statics, and extension methods more than the typical dotnet dev. And for DI, I have no qualms just using concrete classes or base classes.

I also built my own extensions to xunit to enable DI in test methods, since I do more integration tests.

Extension methods for interfaces can be very powerful along with the newer default interface feature. So using that where it makes sense, I get.

In dotnet itself, interfaces are only heavily used for key extension points, so you see them more enforcing specific idioms like IComparable<T>, IReadOnlyList<T> or adapter/extensions for System.Data.x, Microsoft.Extensions.x, and Asp.net core MVC. For the adapter types of things there is generally a base class that implements key interfaces and you can create stubs or mocks from those.

For the files... for stuff in the root folder like .editorconfig, gitignore, etc. I generally create a virtual Solution folder and add those files to it.

For folders with larger amounts of files, I sometimes create an empty project or use specialized project for it like node or powershell project which can be installed as VS extensions, especially if its for a project where the team lives in Visual Studio.

That said, I do most of my coding in JetBrains rider or vscode these days and keep a terminal open. When I'm on a windows box, I have nano and neovim installed, so I can just quickly edit scripts that way or just do code /path/to/file as needed.
When you update .NET libs years later, we still don’t have to change any code in our own software. With anything nodejs, even months and sometimes weeks, updates of any kind means everything breaks. Not sure how anyone builds things with it that don’t need updates outside security fixes. Smaller companies might have software running years or decades that only need security updates and not new features. A lot of our stuff is over 10 years old and needs only security updates; none of that is node (or in the npm ecosystem for that matter) as we simply have shot ourselves in the foot with that too many times already.
They allow to give out warnings on unused variables. If the warning is unwarranted and you really want to discard the value, you use _. It helps prevent mistakes by giving a hint on the intent of the programmer.
I made a "[in the] cloud" to "[on the] Moon" extension a while back, and I loved reading about Amazon's Moon Computing cluster, or how X company saved money by moving to the Moon, etc. And it would let me know that tomorrow's weather was going to be partly Moony with a chance of rain.

Programming Robots: Keeping the Code Clean
I think Gates is right that AI is the next era (obvious) and wrong about its positive improvements. More convenient productivity has brought about more garbage output and done nothing to release modern anxiety. If anything, AI is going to cause us to waste time in even more stupendously meaningless things because it's doing all our thinking. And anyway it can waste an infinite amount of our time by having us read or watch its infinite output.

The differences were always there, but they change over time. I remember seeing a map ~15 years ago showing market shares of dev stacks in different countries. If I remember correctly, Europe on it was predominantly Java and Delphi, Australia and NZ were mostly .NET, and US and Canada were a mix Java and .NET with the former having a slight edge.
Unfit team, unfit org processes, unfit infrastructure, unfit codebase, unfit business model. They don't start happening all at once, but it takes just one of these to corrupt the others in time. Theoretically a good team could have the power to throw everything away and start from scratch, but very few teams can be proud of such feat. Without the right people, incentives, mindset it's almost impossible, because no one has the guts and energy to take responsibility if there is no hope ahead. And passion, it's so important, but very few teams are proud of having passionate people, regardless of age

Amazon Basics are cheap and low quality, but they're at least curated. Amazon doesn't just slap their brand on any random shit, so you at least know that your phone charger will meet safety standards, for example.

I don't often intentionally look for cheap, low quality stuff to buy, but when I do, I'd buy an Amazon Basics item over a UEVYUF (or another <insert fake dropshipping brand here>) item every time.
Is it? The examples given in the OP are remarkably uninspired, specifically mentioning "a recording of Joe Biden forgetting his own name or what year it is, or Kamala Harris claiming to be running an abortion clinic." At that level of course you can already easily find a high-quality impersonator if you wanted to.

What kinds of stuff are kids going to use this for that is dangerous? Fake their parents to call in sick to school?
Summarize YouTube videos while you browse
I was wasting too much time on YouTube so made a tool to summarize videos while browsing.
All of those subjects are just topics: a simple Bayesian classifier can identify those kinds of stories, arbitrating "the truth" (or lack-thereof) doesn't come into this. If empowered with this kind of filter I can assure you that I'd block-out stories about whoever this year's disgraced musician is, or whatever Prince Andrew's getting up to now, regardless of whether they're true or false.

It is sad to see even the more 'conservative' (design wise) car companies following this design. Lexus gets a lot of flak for boring/old tech interiors but give me their 2010s design over 'modern' touch screen/capacitive button all-the-things any day. Shame they haven't got more plugin hybrids or EV options though, their build quality/design in my experience makes a lot of other cars feel rushed.

My parents had a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe top trim, and the design was a mess. A part from lane keeping, it had nothing my 10+ years older Lexus RX didn't have, and I found so many aspects of driving it counter-intuitive. I'm glad they are keeping real buttons, but I also hope they start removing things/make them simpler.
