My Sister-In-Law is a counselor at an elementary school in the Chicago area with one other counselor sharing the caseload, she's been working almost a decade.

Before the pandemic, roughly 10% of students at her school came and went through her office seeking mental health treatment. After the pandemic and school reconvened, that number shot up to about 70% of students and has now leveled out around 50% and held steady for the last year. Of course, being a public school district, they couldn't afford to bring on additional caseworkers, so she's having to ration her schedule to see as many students as she can. And the stories she's getting from her kids are often pretty terrible (lots of alcoholism and domestic-violence related issues).

I read stories like this and it's completely unsurprising to see. Between the trauma of the pandemic, endless school shootings and a future that looks increasingly uncertain ecologically and economically, I get it. Who among us honestly wishes they were a kid in this world in this time? I thank my lucky stars every day that I'm not.
A CD is 16 bits, so you have 65536 possible values to oscillate between.

If you mean "does a 44khz only output a square (or triangle) wave at 22kHz, the answer is "no."

If you have two alternating values at 44kHz, the output will be a perfect (to the limits of noise &c.) sine wave, since the DAC is band limited.

If this is still confusing to you, I recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9jemV1T7I
For people that care a lot about image "accuracy" - just get a decent camera with large sensor. Then you you will not need insane level of postprocessing and manipulation smartphone does to make something decent out of small sensor data.
In the browser all user input, API responses, and application state is validated and sanitized before it ever gets to the application logic.

On the backend all requests and database values are similarly validated and sanitized before any logic occurs.

Anything less is bad code regardless of what languages are used.

I'm totally unfamiliar with the company that makes the Bambu, but do they have ties to the CCP or is there evidence that buying this printer would further the Chinese government's efforts?
Likely identified one of their few remaining growth bottlenecks to be speed of development.
Kinda sounds like what a buddy told me about Michael Jordan vs Steve Kerr.

Not saying Jordan can't make a good coach, but someone like Kerr apparently was better able to coach due to being a specialist and knowing what the roles were and understanding his limits, whereas Michael Jordan – not to say he in any way lacked basketball IQ – just had an order of magnitude more talent than even the cream of the crop (arguably), and was better suited to execution.

Goes without saying though that Jordan was known to just be utterly ruthless on the court, being unnecessarily cruel, and always needing to dominate and win. Which is fun and entertaining as an audience with a bit of distance, but I personally wouldn't enjoy having to be near that kind of personality.
Microsoft did something like this a while ago, I guess as part of a feel-good promotional thing with GitHub: https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/security/a298113...
On the contrary, we have medication (buprenorphene) that is remarkably effective for opioid addiction. France liberalized access to it and overdose deaths fell 80% between 1994 and 2002.
What about the unintended consequences of pausing research? I know many people working in forestry, cancer, inequality, and the arts producing amazing new work in their fields via AI. What's the cost of delaying advacnces, or a new masterpiece?

And what is the committee that should determine we are ready to proceed? Do we think our representative government is prepared for that task? (The constitution they swear to does not.). Is a conference of academics sufficient? I don't think there is one that represents the majority of world expertise, and certainly not world use cases. Perhaps the courts, but they are designed to seek consistency after the fact, not to extrapolate.

A pause is intended to let alignment research and policy catch up. But can it catch up without the context of developing use cases? When research resumes, can alignment and policy keep the lead, or will we stop and go as adoption overtakes the scenarios we anticipated?

I think a more serious direction for energy and concern is advancing the real safety research and policy decisions evolving around AI today.

They used data from youtube, with multiple selection methods. A little supervised data for 72 languages (90k hours of audio with text labels provided), some pseudo-supervised data in english (100k hours; the english labels were generated by having a model do the labeling), and a LOT of unsupervised data in 568 languages (12.1 million hours). That last group has no labels (aka captions) available, just the audio, but they create pseudo-labels by using the FLEURS dataset. I'm not really sure how this works as FLEURS itself only has 102 languages... I guess in different words, it just makes some phonetic impression of how that language should be written and then compares itself to how well it can do that impression?

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Some people would like to see themselves as good people with good intentions but all too often their actions are actively counterproductive, a la The Shirky Principle that organizations tend to keep alive the problem they were created to address.

Some people just have broken mental models and then fail to update them when their efforts consistently prove "this does not actually work." We all make mistakes, but if you keep making the same mistake without any improvement, at some point others should stop making excuses for you.
We’ve made an impressive leap in language synthesis technology and we are overreacting, I think.
Interesting details, thanks ta08131942. I guess it's like 'throwaway 08/13/1942' where the date is the beginning of the Manhattan project.

Android added face unlock way back around 2012 for the Nexus 7 which was incredibly insecure. I think they eventually removed it.
Whisper can also be fine tuned on other languages. Don’t know how well it’ll do compared to this but it’s at least a possibility.
It's worse than this. Llama models trained off of GPT 3.5/4 can run on a Raspberry Pi totally offline with similar levels of quality - taking all the best parts of the original model. Even if all major AI companies halted the upper tiers of model progress right now, you're still gonna need the entire public to stop assembling these together. It's quite possible just a whole bunch of these lesser models architected the right way could then still breach the quality of GPT5, and/or develop sentience patterns (which may very-well just be an emergent property of letting an intelligent snapshot model add to its memory over time and develop a personal narrative). AI Robot Swarm is already out of the box. Monolithic God AI might still be slowed.
The initial fission stage is the "hard" part of a nuke, but the subsequent fusion stages are much easier to scale up. Arbitrarily large nuclear bombs are theoretically "easy" to make by chaining increasingly large fusion stages one after the other, as they aren't limited by expensive fissile material.

Hence scientists extrapolated nukes really could end life on Earth, and in a slightly different reality than ours, they may have.
I left several decades ago. It took me ~2 years to learn a new language, and ~5 years to feel at home in a new culture. The upside is I got far more political change (esp wrt violence and health care) than I expect will ever happen back in the US during my actuarial lifetime.
I think "audio enthusiast" or "audio hobbyist" would probably be a good alternative. I am certainly enthusiastic about audio! However as a hobbyist it would be outrageous to call myself an audio engineer or scientist.

Although, part of me I guess stupidly would like to reclaim "audiophile" as well.
I never understood why you'd supply a drug that kills your customer base.

I gist I get is that cheaper-to-produce counterfeit pills laced with Fentanyl are causing accidental overdosing because people think they're taking something else.

And the bogus pills are wildly inconsistent in the dose they deliver.

Before I'd only heard the complete bullshit from Fox News that Fentanyl laced Halloween candy will kill your children if they even touch it.

The problem is computers are an invention native to our post artisan, massanufacturing era. An artisan who makes a table, a gun, an 1800s cash register, crafts every part by hand. He hammers out the firing pin, he carves the tongues that hold the drawers together.

This "artisan computer" is just a case. Everything inside it was mass manufactured. It's veneer. It's wood and chrome switches to hide the truth.

There is room for compromise on this. You can create unique, beautiful, interesting computers with the fact that the components will be mostly.off the shelf parts. It's not going to be carved form wood and inlaid with gems. It's probably going to look like something out of Fallout.

You need commerical or residential density to make bus lines worthwhile or else you end up having too many stops and you massively slow down the line. You also need to design a bus line around stops where drivers can take restroom breaks and you need to design lines around it.
I’m someone who spent 15 years on Head-fi before discovering Audio Science Review 5 years ago. I’ll admit it, I move away from using the term audiophile, it’s such a loaded term.

That said, I still have a set of Buchardt A500s that measure anechoically flat down to 25hz. I paid $4500 for these. I also have a set of Shure KSE1200 that I tune to Harman with PEQ using my lifetime subscription to Roon. These were $1650 as an open box.

Aspirational ASR setups using high end studio monitors can push $10k. I believe the owner of ASR has a system exceeding $30k.

None of these purchases are within the realm of normal, they just have backing by measurements of being pretty great… things that matter in the service of verifiably good sound.

It would be wonderful to snatch that term back. The objectivism in the audio space seems to be taking a bigger mindshare as the years roll on.
Texas would do well to at least pretend to care about kids mental health. From the article:

> Directing blame at Mexico is also a way to avoid looking at how Texas fails children. A 2022 report from the nonprofit Mental Health America ranked the state last in the nation in access to mental-health care; nearly three-quarters of Texas youth who had a major depressive episode did not receive mental-health treatment, the worst rate in the country, according to the report.

Choosing to spend billions building a wall and next to nothing on mental health access for children is the epitome of Texas thinking.
This is just my take, but if the person being rightfully called-out is claiming you are socially awkward, that to me seems a bit tactless, unnecessarily defensive (in the emotionally immature sense), and kinda hypocritical. But hey, I don't know the full story, wasn't there, and don't know the stakes. Might just be the way I see things, though.
> Being a bit careful, taking it slow, maybe, why not?

Market forces:

* Google is about to be steamrolled by Bing, and vice-versa if Bard gets ahead of Sidney.

* Programming companies who don't have code written by GPT will fall behind ones who do.

* Web sites who pay actual humans to do writing over AIs which maximize ad clicks will have less ad revenue and higher costs.

... and so on.

Those forces get increasingly strong with wars too. Militaries which don't have AI-controlled robots will fall behind human ones too, once those supersede human strategists.

Politicians too -- winning elections means dominating online forums, and AIs can be really good for that.

"Moving slowly" would require a whole new system of organizing humanity.
Unfortunately excessive retouching/filtering of digital photos has been a significant problem in East Asian cultures and that is spreading elsewhere quickly. Samsung is merely catering to the target market that has a demand for these things because beauty standards in most human societies are messed up.

While true, the law has also come down harshly on the participants. It should have a chilling effect for other would-be rioters. It was bad, I agree. But perhaps the silver lining is that its occurrence may help set a firm line on what behaviors are acceptable.

In Python 2 you can redefine the True and False “constants”, which is pretty WAT-y though admittedly tampering.

This seems like a strange idea given the supermassive black holes we’re finding in the early universe. That’s significant because early stars had low metallicity which means that metals were very rare, and were so until recently (gen 3 stars). If civilizations were turning themselves into black holes, they had to do so without much of what we consider technology. Certainly nothing like what goes into an EV, for instance.
This seems really dumb. We don't have AI, we have language models that can't add 2 and 2. Their biggest danger is saying something offensive. Let's have this discussion when we're somewhat close to developing an actual AI? We could be 100 years away for all we know.
Still upset about Meebo. Google bought them and shut down the service with the developers put into the Google+ team, which was later shut down. In between that Hangouts was split into an app per function, many of which have been shut down.
Yeah except this stupid AI enhancer junk is marketed as a feature on the samsung phones.
To me it's pretty simple: Social media companies are media companies (it's right there in the name!) and everyone everywhere has always been wary of foreign ownership of their prominent media, and have regulated it accordingly. The only weird thing here is that it has taken this long.
All of those are examples of bad communication. When I say the jerk scale is not independent, I mean that being a jerk implies not getting work done, so what's the point of that being its own axis? It's not an independent variable.

I love apocalypse movies, probably moreso than the next person. But in reality, the apocalypse is going to be pretty boring and bleak. AI probably won't launch all the missiles or build terminators. What will probably happen is that we'll just become so dependent on technology that we don't understand that one day it just enters a unrecoverable crash loop or goes dark, and it's back to the stone ages. But not in a really entertaining way, but more like a slow break down of civilization over a few weeks or months. If everything becomes automated, and I mean to the point that self-driving cars don't have steering wheels anymore, power plants are too complicated to be rebooted, and communication infrastructure doesn't function, then we're not left with many options. If people start running out of food, then forget toilet paper shortages, that's a walk in the park. If that happens because of cyberwar, cyberattack, or solar flares, it sort of doesn't matter. It won't be very fun or make for a good movie.

So, why not organize humanity differently?

I bet every single human who has someone in their life they love would be happy to make some changes to ensure the safety of said people.

I know I would.

What is the alternative, endless wars? Arms races? Monitoring Robots so they don't get out of control? Our overall destruction? How sad.

I look at children skipping around happily in the sunshine, a flower blooming and I realize that is what life is about, it's not about war, or AIs or bio weapons, that's all a product of misguided intellect which stops us from experiencing what's really important: simple, innocent experience, love, friendship and experience.
Since you are straw manning the argument, brave people should be protected from their foolishness by banning rock climbing and base jumping. How does that sound?

> How many CPUs with a home grown memory protection designs were sold between those two dates?

Zero that I'm aware of. Want to inform us?

The Canaan Kendryte K210 dual core 400 MHz 64 bit microcontroller shipped with an incompatible MMU, but it wasn't home grown — it's unmodified Berkeley Rocket implementing the current version (Priv 1.9.1) as at the time Canaan took the core snapshot for their SoC.

If that chip was a serious Linux target then priv 1.9.1 support could be put BACK in the Linux kernel (it wasn't upstreamed but it existed and was published). But with only 8 MB of non-expandable on chip SRAM there is no point anyway.
OMG. Thank you. I would consider it to be the best comment.
The problem isn't that fewer unusual colors are made.

The problem is that no unusual colors are made in almost all car models.

There are a very small handful of models that have a few particular colors beyond the basic black/white/red/silver/dark blue options, but otherwise manufacturers have decided that because fewer people want yellow (or bright blue, or pink, or orange, or magenta), no one gets those colors. Ever.
> we need to fundamentally change how we govern humanity to mitigate existential risks

In both cases, which "we" can you possibly mean? Like, today's voters? worldwide? Today's HN users? The CCP? The idea that any "we" may or must choose how to govern humanity is a category error.

There are lots of forces other than markets to appeal to - nations, industry groups, religions. But any of them will be in a power struggle, except to the degree that they can show a legitimacy to control. Who has the most legitimacy on this subject?
It's not that dealers know their drugs will definitely kill customers, it's that they don't know what's in what they're selling and they're smart enough to know not to ask questions of their suppliers.

I bought a THC vape cartridge in a non-legal state several years ago, right around the time when there was a spike in hospitalizations and deaths around fake THC carts. My guy promised me that it came from Colorado, but I googled the brand name from the packaging and quickly discovered that it was counterfeit packaging that anyone could buy on Alibaba. Maybe my guy knew that it was fake, maybe he didn't. But that's the crux the black market, unless it comes from the earth, you can't really know what it is you're getting.
Primarily, the problem with that is I don't know anywhere that I would choose to spend money that also takes ETH. I also don't really think that what you're describing is good or common.

Common: The middleman is still there in the most common case since most wallets are custodial. There are a ton of recent examples of exchanges freezing accounts, including the very article that we're commenting under, so I don't really get what you're talking about.

Good: It doesn't make sense to use a wildly volatile deflationary token as currency. Deflation discourages spending which is why there is no real currency that restricts the supply of money to a fixed amount, because it encourages hoarding.
> The thing to remember about AI is that it does what we ask of it to do.

If it always does what we ask of it to do then it's not really intelligent and can't be called AI.
