> Also, just want to mention that the AGPL license requires that all software connecting with MinIO be 100% open source for you/your users not to be in violation of the license.

So they would consider my Arq backups to MinIO a license violation? What if I access the GUI from a Windows PC? What about a Linux PC with a proprietary GPU driver?
I'm not actually sure that's true. There is a lot of detail in the world represented in audio and video, and presumably large transformers could learn from the textures and shadows and articulated movements and the physical modeling of how sounds are made, etc.
It also benefits users in that you can implement more features and fix more bugs in less time. Performance is a feature and what that means is that while you can't just completely ignore it, it's not always the highest priority.
Last pass had a major incident recently iirc.
I’ve liked the transitions demo from Chrome guys, but it has barely any support yet.
You can add multiple MFA devices since November of last year:

> Now, you can add multiple MFA devices to AWS account root users and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users in your AWS accounts. This helps you to raise the security bar in your accounts and limit access management to highly privileged principals, such as root users. Previously, you could only have one MFA device associated with root users or IAM users, but now you can associate up to eight MFA devices of the currently supported types with root users and IAM users.

I think the main point (which you and parent agree with, but OP skimmed) is that SOME knowledge of the game is needed to be able to appreciate what is happening.

ex. "I know how the Knight piece moves, but wow, I never thought of using it like that"
I think Just (as in Justfile) also solves most of your points, is reasonably widely used, also written in Rust and has integration plugins for it in most editors.
"Trusted by 7000+ users and teams of all sizes" [posts a bunch of company logos]

You've just launched in beta, how can you claim this? I'm always very suspicious of this (I take this from the position of being a tech lead at a multi-billion euro retailer who's logo you'll never be able to use)

Is this one developer? A team? Or is this just marketing bullshit for VCs who somehow don't verify if this is true or not?
The cameras on Perseverance are also mission critical for the rest of the 1B+ Rover.

John Glenn’s camera wasn't mission critical. Failure would have had no impact on the mission success. It sounds like it was a hobby project for the Astronaut and NASA engineers.
>I have studied Sanskrit literature extensively and do not know what this means.

This means a sentence can often have many different meaning, not just the literal one suggested by the words.

The idea is you either accept multiple meanings or settle it through debate.

I am not criticizing this, this is fundamentally what makes literature and poetry interesting.

But this makes it really difficult to draw a line between philosophy and science.
> Many people prefer an audiobook version of a book to be read by the original author

Right, but having AI read the book in the author's voice is definitely not the author reading the work.

As you mention, the reason that people like to hear the author read it is because it's the author reading it, theoretically emphasizing and acting things out according to what was intended. It's not just to hear the author's voice.

So I don't see what the value-add is.
It's a stretch. But remember that Plotinus only signed up to march against the Sassanids to learn Kushan philosophy better! And their ideas on apophatic theology already show up in the Enneads, eg. in his negative treatment of material beings.
Global emissions are still going up.
Great product, giving it a try. Here you saying that 20 seconds is enough, and on a "clone" page there is an instruction about 30 minutes for better result. Is there any kind of instruction about how to create a good sample of the voice? For example, should I speak English, or any language will do? Do you have some stats on corellation between sample length and generation quality? Thank you!
yet aging countries are toying with the idea of subsidizing childcare? choosing to have children shouldn't be so heavily penalized, especially since it's a biological and (cultural, in many cases) imperative
There is no "winner takes all."

There is "subsidize the market until you drive out all the competition and hope you can raise to monopoly prices afterward." And more money just got expensive.

So, Lyft and Uber are locked in a Catch 22 death embrace until one (or both) collapses.
> I just can't muster up the empathy he seems to be expecting.

He isn't expecting empathy for having kids.

He's making an equation that says:

The cost of child care is so high that if you work from home and handle your children with flexible working hours, it is hard for him to find a job that requires him to be in the office and will compensate him the cost of child care he cannot perform himself.

So even if in-office jobs paid more, it would unlikely be worth it to him.

What he doesn't explicitly say is: He's got an incredible privilege. Not everyone has a skill or a negotiation ability that lets you pick a remote job always. So not only does he save the $40k per year in child care, he probably earns quite well on his remote job, compared to the national average who does need to show up at the office.
It made me smile a little realizing I'm now the old guy with stories. You should definitely follow up with more old greybeards (beard not required) to find out their stories. Shortly after leaving that DVD shop, I wound up moving to LA for another post house. My engineering team worked in a cubicle farm, but there was this one senior engineer that had his own office with a door! Who was this guy? He only worked on "special projects". One day, we had an offsite meeting with the full engineering team. I got the chance to chat to this mysterious engineer, and whoa did he have some stories. This guy was LEGEND! The conversation started with our common experience with film telecines (the equipment used to transfer film to video). He was surprised that I knew what a flying spot scanner[0] was, and proceeded to tell me his story that showed me how LEGEND he was. He and his brother had received a Rank telecine and over the course of a summer, converted it to a method of continuous scanning of the film by storing frames into a custom made memory bank to allow for the creation of the 2:3 telecine cadence. Because they had this bit of memory buffer, they also introduced a bit of noise reduction. Apparently, this was one of the first live capable noise reductions. So much so, that in July 1969, a certain image of a certain person taking his first steps found its way through his equipment for a little bit of clean up before hitting the air waves. After picking my jaw up from the floor, I proceed to buy this man another round from the open bar, but still. I now always try to get the senior coworkers talking.

Important here: it's breaking it through side-channel attacks, which means the algorithm itself might not be vulnerable but the implementation is (given sufficient information on things like timings)

Yes I will say my daughter absolutely loves Encanto (and also Moana). Also the Good Dinosaur (but we had to cut back on that because she started growling like the feral child in the movie and that seemed like a bad development!). The music in Encanto is good.
I don't think it flopped, but the casual userbase hasn't grown much. I chalk that up to Blizzard's failure to give Custom games more of a spotlight and the overall game being overtaken by MOBA and FPS-battle-royale games.
I moved to Bitwarden right after it, and I can't believe how much better it is in terms of UX \o/. I whish I had made the move years earlier.

Ultimately every UI is a collection of various (often contradictory) states.

Example: Even typing into a text box on Hacker News is a new UI state: you have a different set of shortcuts, the keyboard works slightly differently, the browser has to keep track of the input if you suddenly press back and then forward again (some browsers maintain input in these cases), undo has to work within the scope of the textbox etc.

The more complex your UI becomes, the more contradictory states become, and need to be tracked. We're posting something over XHR/WebSockets? X amount of elements on the page have to be disabled, some state has to updated with save progress etc. We are logged in/logged out? We need to show a different state. There's an error in some part of the app? We need to block user from doing something and show errors etc.

If you can split those into actual states and allow interface and actions based on the current state, it becomes easier to reason about what is going on ini your app
To the alarmists here: just look up the internet for "voice cloning ML". There are lilerally YouTube tutorials on it. Stop being luddits, you cannot stop the progress.
Hear hear! Our current and 13 year old selves sound like we could be a lot alike!

I'm really doing my best to make past/teenage me proud. I know about 5 years ago, I'd probably have kicked my own butt.
This is because now corporate finance leads those companies, and its strategy is usually focused towards moving the numbers in the way investors read them (SOX rules for Earnings Report) and using all the tricks in the book to pass some short term sensation on improvement, which result in the carrot they are all after. The bonus.

Amazon had the no profit strategy because Bezos had ideals and as the Czar of the place, finance would not convince him to change strategy (But I bet they tried, must have been a fund meeting to watch). Now he is worried about his yacht and pet projects, so he let finance rule the place for the benefit of his stock price.
Same with Google. L&S don't have their ideals anymore and just want their money protected. Finance has this covered. There is no care for the brand nor its other stakeholders anymore.

They basically became another IBM, Microsoft, etc...
>that they followed usage and intentionally reinterpreted rules to fit usage.

Makes sense.

What I was touching upon was the culture of leaving things up to interpretation though, not just this particular issue.
Also, if your phone is stolen / lost and someone can guess your 6 digit passcode, then all your passwords are exposed.

That was biggest deal killer for me.
I mean, I knew the supernova would be brighter, but BY NINE orders of magnitude was still surprising! wow!
I don’t buy it. Complex, random passwords are great against brute force attacks but that’s not usually how these things play out.

Many password breaches are caused by technical lapses on the part of a platform, where password complexity often becomes irrelevant. Your password gets hovered up along with everyone else’s and eventually gets decrypted, and tried en masse against other platforms. In this scenario, even a simple pattern for passwords is probably enough to prevent the problem from spreading, as long as it’s not too obvious.

The other way passwords often get compromised is from someone looking over your shoulder or key logging, infrared on PIN pads, etc. In this scenario, your system is WAY, WAY worse, since one password unlocks the kingdom, and that password is frequently being used.

As it stands, if someone peeks over my shoulder and discovers my phone password, then steals my phone, it’s damaging but not game over. They can’t access any websites.

If I allow my phone password to be the only gatekeeper to access everything, IMO that’s lousy security.

Nothing, I guess. I was only "almost" inclined to complain anyways, so I don't get why you see the reason to persecute me. The minor quirk that made me mad is that a FAANG company wrote something in 3 times but didn't once manage to choose a language people use. It's like if Microsoft open sourced their new autocorrect library for Visual Basic, C# and Excel - it's readily apparent why those languages would be chosen.

So, nothing is wrong with it. I'm pissing and moaning about getting trolled by the big company again, because in this instance I think it's more intellectually stimulating than giving $FAANG_CO a consolation prize.
>In Manufacturing Consent (1988), Chomsky and Herman discussed the media reaction to their earlier writings on the Cambodian genocide. They summarised the position which they had taken in After the Cataclysm (1979):

>>As we also noted from the first paragraph of our earlier review of this material, to which we will simply refer here for specifics, “there is no difficulty in documenting major atrocities and oppression, primarily from the reports of refugees”; there is little doubt that “the record of atrocities in Cambodia is substantial and often gruesome” and represents “a fearful toll”; “when the facts are in, it may turn out that the more extreme condemnations were in fact correct,” although if so, “it will in no way alter the conclusions we have reached on the central question addressed here: how the available facts were selected, modified, or sometimes invented to create a certain image offered to the general population. The answer to this question seems clear, and it is unaffected by whatever may yet be discovered about Cambodia in the future.”
I'm not sure if my situation is a little different as I work for a government contractor. Our WFH situation is now a voluntary hybrid system. If you have a certain level of seniority, or time at the company, you can WFH. They only ask us to come into the office twice a month.

While I like working from home in general I tend to find it utterly boring, and go into the office at least one day a week. I find it easier to maintain relationships and stay up to date on projects by talking, and in person works best for me.
A reliable approximation for your carbon footprint is your total spending, which is closely related to your income.

If your income is very low, you are quite simply not spending much on climate warming activities.

There are some exceptions to the rule, but it is a valid generalisation.
I think Rust does this quite well. There are a few handy rules.

1. If the first argument of a function is `self`, then that function is treated as a method and can be called like `obj.meth(args)`. Functions without `self` must be called statically, which in the case of an object would look like `Type::meth(obj, args)`. The second form is used occasionally by common wrapper types like Box and Rc to avoid dereferencing “piercing the veil” and calling a method on the wrapped object (Rust has no separate `obj->meth` syntax, which IMO is its own issue).
2. Having access to `Self` lets you specify the types of non-this arguments as well as return types, like `fn add(self, other: Self) -> Self {...}`. You can also use it as the name of the type when (de)structing objects, e.g., `let Self { fields } = other` or `return Self { fields }`. Writing out the name of the current type each time could get unwieldy.
3. `Self` as a namespace is handy when dealing with enums, e.g., `match self { Self::First => ..., Self::Second => ...}` or static functions like `Self::func(args)`. It's crucial in trait implementations when referring to associated types, e.g., in Iterator there's `type Item; fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item>;`

I don't why a Self variable would be placed on the stack differently from non-Self variables; method calls have always just been syntactic sugar + namespacing for a free function, no?
It doesn’t matter. Given enough time and progress, it will be indistinguishable.
The reason why these types of claims are baseless is because of the key fact that if AI tech stopped progressing right now, it's already a game-changer once companies adopt.
But he's right you know.
What always bugged me is most Westerners who put Arabic tattoos use the ugliest possible "typewriter" script, the one equivalent to Consolas for English, rather than any of the countless artistic ones.
> We strictly moderate the generated text of any sexual, offensive, racist, or threatening content.

This is exactly what makes me so angry about "AI safety" initiatives: they are largely worrying about the wrong thing. People have been so focused on the "this may make some obscene joke, or be biased against some skin colors" that they have completely missed out on the much more serious harms that AI will cause with respect to, in this case, impersonation scams.

Congrats, people can't say the N-word with your technology, but they can say "Hi Bob, just calling to verify that we did indeed change the target account where you should wire your invoice payment."
I’ve been doing this kind of thing pretty regularly for the past few weeks, even though I know how to do any of the tasks in question. It’s usually still faster, even when taking the time to anonymize the details; and I don’t paste anything I wouldn’t put on a public gist (lots of “foo, bar”, etc)

> Does a product focused, non infra startup even need k8s? In my honest opinion people should be using Cloud Run. It’s by far Google’s best cloud product.

> Or just app engine honestly.

As a former App Engine PM and PM of Cloud Run, this warms my heart to hear--I'm glad folks love to use it :)

It's been a few years since I've worked on these products, but they were designed to be composed and used by each other. Cloud Run provides an autoscaling container runtime with Knative compatible API; Cloud Build (and Container Registry) + Cloud Run = App Engine, App Engine + CloudEvents = Cloud Functions.

With a Knative compatible API, you can theoretically take those primitives and move them to your own K8s cluster, managed (GKE/EKS/AKS) or self-managed, giving folks a tremendous amount of flexibility down the line if/when they need it (hint: the majority of customers didn't, and the fully managed services were great).

If you're the kind of person who likes reading original sources, you're in luck[1]!

> The surviving writings are four treatises and ten letters. The four treatises are: 1) On the divine names (DN) (Peri theion onomaton, in Greek; De Divinis Nominibus, in Latin), the longest work of thirteen chapters that deals with affirmative or kataphatic theology, namely, the names attributed to God the creator in scripture and also in pagan texts, but also exploring the limits of language and therefore also involving negative or apophatic theology. 2) On the celestial hierarchy (CH) (Peri tes ouranias hierarchias, in Greek; De coelesti hierarchia, in Latin), a work that examines how the nine choirs of angels (in scripture) are to be understood in lifting us up to God. 3) On the ecclesiastical hierarchy (EH) (Peri tes ekklestiastikes hierarchias, in Greek; De ecclesiastica hierarchia, in Latin) that examines the various orders and liturgy of the church as relating us to God through a divinely appointed but human hierarchy. And 4) On Mystical theology (MT) (Peri mustikes theologias, in Greek; De mystica theologia, in Latin), a brief but powerful work that deals with negative or apophatic theology and in which theology becomes explicitly “mystical” for the first time in history (By mystical here we do not mean an extraordinary or private experience of transcending one’s self in the modern sense of the term, but simply “hidden”. On this see Bouyer, 1949; Vanneste, 1959; McGinn 1994). There follow ten letters that provide helpful comments upon topics in the above four treatises, especially letter 9 on what Dionysius calls symbolic theology of which works 2) and 3) above (CH; EH) form a substantial part. The ten letters appear to be arranged in a roughly hierarchical order, letters 1–4 being addressed to a monk (a certain Gaius, also the name of one or more of St. Paul’s companions), letter 5 to a deacon, letter 6 to a priest, and letters 7 and 9 to hierarchs or bishops. Letter 8 disrupts this order since it is addressed to a monk charged with disrupting the hierarchical order itself!

I was recently in a work meeting with some higher ups where we discussed the near-term future of AI. The idea that this is the interface revolution on-par with GUIs and the WWW was mentioned, and attributed to Bill Gates (I guess he must have talked about this recently). I've been dwelling on everyone's expectations for a few days and I see the hype cycle.

A good reason to consider "what if" is that it's still going to take a lot of effort to get from where we are to where expectations are. There's been many false starts recently: self-driving cars, 3D printing, VR/AR, crypto. 10 years on and they're all real technologies anyone can use and making progress every day, but the wild expectations hit reality. When we get there with AI (and we will, because expectations are a moving goalpost) it's good to have considered what we want to do about it. We don't want to waste years of resources on insurmountable roadblocks, we want ideas about why what worked before stopped and what easier paths forward might exist.

That is, I don't see many people downplaying AI but I do see people with lots of unanswerable questions about how long this current boom will last and where we'll wind up when it's over.
You are correct. Today on HNs front page there was an article talking about how the EU has already said they are going to regulate AI.
