Nobody on the dev team is reading those messages for their own mental health, people are just shouting into /dev/null and that closed issue is lost in the noise of a hundred thousand other closed issues and never gets looked at.

Personally I prefer to lock old closed issues almost immediately to cut this off, but leaving them open so that people can shout into the void is another possible choice.

Something i found fascinating about this project was that me and my friends would be using the AI group chat, but constantly taking screenshots and sending them to the REAL group chat and laughing about how funny it was.

Basically, the generated "fake" chats were made 10x funnier by the ability to laugh about them with the "real" chat— and we did this most often when the outputs were most accurate— so I do think there is a Je ne sais quoi to the knowledge that something is "real" that makes you behave differently and get different value out of it.
As an owner of an BEV manufacturers of chargers needs to look on automatic gas pumps and COPY THAT CONCEPT.

1. I will arrive, put CCS connector into my car

2. I will use my contactless debit/credit card to activate charging

3. Charging will automatically stop when battery is full, or there is a button to stop it if you need to leave.

4. When charging is done, money are withdrawn from loaded card.

NO applications, NO registrations, NO reading of QR codes. A vending machine can achieve this, you can too.
I think its largely an issue of what you care about / what bothers you.

SF has very high property and overall crime rates. This is objective fact. It has the 4th highest property crime rate in the country, and the 7th highest overall crime rate in the country[1][2].

However, the _violent_ crime rate is only slightly above average in SF. Some people don't care much about the rampant theft; they still feel safe.

The same is true of e.g. the homelessness and drug issues. There are objectively more homeless people & drug addicts laying out on the sidewalks in SF. Some people don't care, some people are really bothered by this.

It's kind of weird to have both groups combined like this. We're talking about different people. The same person isn't a "fake kidnapper" and a "legitimate kidnapper". (Boy, that sentence felt strange to write).

When people are using their phone's GPS they typically have the screen on (using maps/navigating etc.) more than usual.

I think most of the drain comes from that rather than the GPS unit itself. But people might say "using my phone's GPS uses a lot of battery."
Being approached by bleeding homeless is not uncommon in SF? As a more rural person, the nonchalance with which you deliver that statement is _shocking_ and is sort of ironic because if I was to claim such a thing was common in SF or that it's insane that it's normalized there, my friends who live in the city would be very offended, take it personally, and tell me how wrong I am

I think a lot of citizens have rose colored glasses. I just can't figure any other way to square my horrifying personal experiences in the city and anecdotes like this one with the impassioned defense the city receives whenever it is criticized
Wherever you are with this stuff, don't accept articles like this as a valuable, or even harmless, contribution to the discourse. It is using the terrible Twitter-based dark pattern of not actually taking a stand one way or the other, so that anybody can read the article and feel like they agree with it. Get angry, but you bring-your-own object for that anger.

To demonstrate, four out of the five articles that are supposed to be "the other side" are non-editorial news articles citing crime statistics. The other one is hardly an argument to "not get angry."

Whoever this person is, they spend too much time on Twitter and it really shows. Pushing and monetizing anger itself like this should be outright spotted for what it is: flame bait for clicks.
Your comment is suggesting that increased policing reduces homelessness and that welfare dollars are being spent on drugs.

Nothing in this article gives any reason to believe that the voice on the other end of the phone was AI-generated.

Occam’s razor suggests it was more likely a human pretending to be her daughter.

I’m guessing after she realized that the voice wasn’t her daughter, the mother convinced herself it must have been a deepfake to explain herself having been so easily convinced.
Awesome find! Haha this is like the bible for cartoonists. It was one of the first books on the topic: Was one of the first books ever published on the art of cartooning. At the time of its publication, cartooning was not yet considered a serious art form, but the book helped to change that perception. It definitely features a lot of humor, like the author's humor is evident throughout the book, and he uses humorous illustrations to help explain his points. It's still relevant today, despite being published over 80 years ago, many of the tips and techniques in "Points on Cartooning" are still relevant to aspiring cartoonists today.

How to Build an E-Commerce Chatbot with Redis, LangChain, and OpenAI
I am not convinced. The first time I used an iphone I was blown away by it. Definitely a hefty price tag, but the whole user interface with swiping, pinching etc. was really eye opening. Android of course quickly caught up, but it was a completely new experience compared to existing smart phones at the time.

Same thing the first time I used google (my age is showing a bit). It was leaps and bounds better than the alternatives at the time.

With crypto it always feels to me like I am dealing with scams, ponzies or something useless. Solving problems that weren't really problems or creating problems that didn't exist beforehand. I have rarely been so underwhelmed by any technical innovation.

Rule of thumb: reductionist arguments don't hold for technologies from the Internet onwards.

For example, the Internet is nothing like TV, so arguments like "we grew up on TV and ended up ok" don't hold.

Same holds in my opinion to AI-scams.

The more inclusive understanding of sex diversity outlined in the IOC’s new framework also challenges the argument that trans women should not compete in women’s sport because they supposedly possess an innate and universal athletic advantage due to being assigned male at birth, regardless of their transition status.

I wondered if the author would argue against the notion that the athlete mentioned in the article had an athletic advantage due to being assigned male at birth.
I'm also very concerned about where AI will take us, but will bad actors just quit if OpenAI decides to halt? Or will they continue to develop it, but in secret, so we have no clue what its capabilities are or how to control it? I fear the only way out is through.

> Adding more risk for hiring IMO just increases how awful the hiring process will become.

I'm not disagreeing with that in general, but I want an explanation of where the additional risk would come from in this situation. And why, because of that specific risk, companies would do something like add more hiring rounds.

If the additional risk is just getting stuck with an employee during a downturn, more hiring rounds wouldn't affect that, so there would be no reason to add them.

Also it seems like it's currently pretty easy to fire people. I'm not at all confident you could reduce the hiring process by making firing even easier. And how do you propose handling the people that already have jobs and need a commitment before quitting them?

I think this needs to be provided by the government: an organisation that we already have to trust and already has a monopoly. Countries that get this sorted out will see their economies grow. Countries like the UK where people continue to believe that sending scans of utility bills is a good basis for a modern economy and somehow prevents money laundering will continue to go down the toilet.
It depends on the venue and the event, but for many people, music and dancing are the point of the experience, more than the social atmosphere. DJs of course are there entirely to play music and facilitate dancing, and don't really need to care how hard it is to have a conversation in the process.

When people like the music, it tends to sound better to them when it's played a little louder; when a DJ wants to raise the energy level, pushing the volume up a little is one way to do that. Repeat this enough times through the course of an evening and you end up with the PA really cranked. (Many bars install limiters on the sound system, to keep over-enthusiastic DJs in line...) If you walk in from the street, the ruckus might sound deafening - but if you've been there dancing for an hour or two, your ears will likely have adjusted along the way, and it won't feel so extreme.

Another reason for loud music is that loud bass feels really good. If you enjoy dancing, that deep rumble just gets in your bones and makes you want to move. It can be kind of a spiritual experience to let yourself get overwhelmed and swept away by the music, feeling and moving in the moment, not thinking so much. A good, well-tuned sound system in the hands of someone who cares about sound quality can give you this experience without the "ear splitting" sensation.

Even if the bar has no dance floor, loud music can help create a sense of intimacy. Drowning out all the other conversations means other people can't listen in on yours, and forcing you to lean in and pay close attention to the person you're speaking with might help spark a connection of the sort many people go out looking for.

I once tried helping a drunken homeless man that was throwing up blood at 1 in the morning when I was on my way to the office to pick up some paperwork. My phone died the moment I took it out of my pocket to call an ambulance. I spend the next 30 minutes trying to get the guy help including calling the intercom of a hospice/clinic around the corner. I ended up talking to another homeless woman who impersonated a doctor on the intercom of the hospice to get them to call an ambulance.
Full disclosure, I lead the platform team at OpsLevel, but I am soooooo pumped for this feature because having all my infrastructure data in 1 place and not having to login to multiple AWS accounts to see stuff is going to be awesome.

I did a lot of GDPR work at several <insert FAANG here> companies. It was absolutely taken seriously and lawyers were involved all the time. The reason for all these fines is 2-fold:

1. A lot of the fines come from edge cases that are literally unclear in the law. Eg Facebook‘s opt out for advertising fines. You can disagree with fb’s decision but teams of lawyers couldn’t answer this question except in court. I think American and European jurisprudence aware also pretty different so someone sitting in California making business decisions might not understand the ramifications in Europe.

2. A lot of the thorny privacy bits can be bypassed if you update the TOS to mention it (or so they think). I’ve seen that happen a few times during my tenure.

That doesn’t excuse the choice of these companies to make these choices, but my point was to say that companies take it seriously but lawyers don’t always agree on how laws work except in court.

What?

Income taxes are far more painful for the middle class, because they prevent them from accumulating any wealth in the first place.

And since the middle class spends most of its life trying to accumulate wealth, and only a small part of it living off it, income taxes make up a vastly larger share of what they will pay.

Wealth taxes horrify the rich, which is why they try so hard to convince someone making 60k/year from their job, and 5k/year from their investments that taxes on the latter are what keeps them from becoming a millionaire.
Translation: We saw a great opportunity to generate some profitable controversy but will likely be back on twitter in a few months.
I've known people from whom the "have a 3rd kid, or stop at 2?" question probably was tipped over to "stop at 2" by the cost and hassle of having to buy a bigger car to comfortably & safely fit 3 car seats, on top of all the other painfully-high expenses of having a kid. And I've repeatedly heard needing to get a minivan or largish SUV mentioned in conversations about whether to have more than 3 kids, as a downside to going higher.

I'd absolutely believe that car-dependence has played some measurable role in suppressing birthrates, by causing step increases in transportation costs at certain counts of kids. 1 or 2 is no problem with almost any car, but 3 means at least a large sedan, and 4-5 means a van or SUV. More than 5 and you're looking at a fullsize van or a minivan with dual bench seats or something.
> Doctors in surveys around the world have admitted to prescribing antibiotics as placebo, yet homeopathy is off limits?

You are comparing something that has cured many of humanity's illnesses (in fact, there's a good chance that you are alive thanks to antibiotics) with something that has the curative properties of rubbing quartz crystals or drinking blessed water.

Of course there is something unsettling about that comparison.
Are there by chance companies you could pay to do this on your behalf as a service? (get the money owed by insurance) Seems like something ChatGPT would be good at, if this doesn’t already exist, and then the company would charge a small percentage of what they force the insurance company to pay. If ChatGPT can ace the bar exam, you’d think it could devour all the related case law and coverage legalese from your policy, and generate effective legal responses.

>I'm actually surprised we have not yet seen an entire industry built around human authentication. Seems like Apple is the only company taking this seriously.

Completely agree - but to that - with how quickly AI voice cloning is improving, and how quickly image creation tools are improving, how long will it be until someone can sample my voice well enough to command Siri to do something and Siri won't be able to tell the difference? How long will it be until an AI generated photo of me is so realistic that it can unlock my phone via FaceID?

I have a feeling that's going to happen in a shorter timeframe than we all think it will. I mean, my voice is somewhat similar to my father's, and if I'm around his phone, I can say "Hey Siri" and his phone will think it's his voice, not mine.
The bulk of this remains a solvable security issue almost entirely centred around telecom. Spoofing caller IDs is way too easy. SIM swapping is also another issue that can be addressed with better security practices by phone companies.

Most young people these days aren't even using phone numbers/SMS these days except when forced to, so the threat will remain with the older generation and either die off with them or until the phone companies solve this problem... Or some digital voice system replaces it.

Otherwise it's just email phishing. Anything involving money transfers is already locked down and mostly a matter of fooling people... Which again is mostly older people with a poor grasp of technology and common threats (modern street smarts).
