I think it's traditionally supposed to be a representation of a deity who is "backing" your oath.
tvOS allows you to play audio in the background - Blank allows you to blank the TV while still having the background audio playing from the speakers.
Are you using the computer for business? If so, you should be claiming VAT credits that neutralize VAT (since it's intended as a consumption tax). If they don't charge you VAT on behalf of the UK, the UK should be charging you the equivalent consumption tax by some other means to keep the consumption tax base neutral.

I don't disagree, but I think making that claim right now is saying the emperor has no clothes lol.

Worth reading this HN thread posted just recently:

I wouldn't rely on them.
I understand better now, thanks for the explanation.

I have some experience in the other direction: everyone around me is hyperskeptical and throwing around the “stochastic parrot”.

Meanwhile completely ignoring how awesome this is, what the potential of the whole field is. Like it’s cool to be the “one that sees the truth”.

I see this like a 70’s computer. In and of itself not that earth shattering, but man.. the potential.

Just a short while ago nothing like this was even possible. Talking computers in scifi movies are now the easy part. Ridiculous.

Also keep in mind text is just one form of data. I don’t see why movement, audio and whatever other modality cannot be tokenized and learned from.

That’s also ignoring all the massive non-LLM progress that has been made in the last decades. LLMs could be the glue to something interesting.
Most televisions do not continue playing audio when they are turned off.

From the project page:

"That second paragraph hints at why this is important, despite the app’s simplicity."

and the second paragraph on the simulated display:

"Use this app when you want to listen to a podcast or music without seeing artwork or a screensaver."
Remember Replika and how people got quite attached to that chatbot?

I imagine in the near future you'll be able to sell your and your friends' chat history to a company building a more advanced, realistic chatbot. Do you want to have a group of friends to hang out with? Buy an organically fabricated and pre-trained chatbot.

Or maybe there's enough emptieness in your life that you go deep assume one of those friends' identity. Go visit that restaurant "you" always adored; the other guys will not come but will send you hilarious messages saying how they got delayed and tips on what to order.

This feels like something right out of Philip K Dick -- both Blade Runner and Total Recall had realistic false memories.

That’s interesting. I have occasionally been annoyed that I don’t have an easy way to play audio from my phone to my home theater audio system without having the TV on. If I turn my TV off it automatically turns my receiver off, and the only way to disable that would also disable turning the TV and receiver on automatically which is a crucial flow.

There might be a way to build a little HDMI CEC controller that could block certain control sequences, but I haven’t looked into that yet.
So I think this is to be used where turning off the TV (the display device, not the Apple TV) would also turn off the audio right? (Built in speakers, or a sound bar that routes thru the TV etc)

Simple solution! I’d lead with the problem though, had to think about why you might want this.
Tried to sign up for gcloud a couple of months ago using my >12 year old google account.
Long story short, while I technically managed to sign up, I never managed to get my GPU quotas increased to anything above 0, support is non-existent and contacting sales (which seems to be the 'official' way, but is only really intended for business customers?) never got a response...

Meanwhile, my small server (not Hetzner) has been running for many years without any issues, never had to send them anything after I signed up...
Unlike Twitter that is still selective on labeling. YouTube pretty much label every public media, that includes DW, BBC, and also NPR. Why do the stake seems much higher on Twitter? I'm thinking that's because journos, blobs and think tankers personally hang out on Twitter unlike YouTube.
A lot of setups route audio through the TV so if you turn it off you turn off music / podcasts which a lot of people use to sleep. (including the author, as noted in the article)
Does this marking only apply to US media or media active in the US?

Swiss public broadcasting such as @SRF is publicly funden but lack suck label. However you would have a very hard time finding someone in Switzerland that does not know this as there is constant debating about the fee which almost everyone has to pay separately from taxes.

German public television is also not marked.
I got a new(used) car which has power closing doors - you just bring them close to the car and the motors gently pull them closed.
Luxury feature because you never slam or even shut the doors anymore, they are closed soundlessly.
I didn't know I wanted the feature till I got this car...now I wish all cars had this. I bet I won't feel the same when I have to pay a thousand dollars to get a single motor replaced.
> If a vaccine for a deadly, highly communicable disease can completely stop transmission then I think it's perfectly ethical to require everyone to accept it or isolate from those willing to do so.

Did you consider the law of unintended consequences?
It's one thing to come up with the technique; quite another to source the dataset of images on which the model will be trained, train it up, and then run it as a service for millions of users.
> I understood the grandparent post to mean that the harm can sometimes outweigh the benefits when the vaccine is forced. Not that it's always the case.

On careful re-reading I believe you're correct. Though if a hypothetical 100% effective zero side-effects vaccine doesn't pass their bar of outweighing psychological harm then it seems unlikely anything could, hence my interpretation of GP as an absolute statement.

> Are you suggesting that the COVID vaccines were able to completely stop transmission?

Hah, I wish! No, just going with the GP's hypothetical.
How to Let Go of FOMO
I honestly can’t even read HN AI threads anymore.

The constant downplaying and denial is unreal.

“Why doesn’t a person like him have better data? This isn’t cool for AI; it’s simply a bullshit problem that should’ve never existed.”

“How does he know the data was accurate? These things are just hallucinating parrots.”

Isn't a normal human just as likely to be inaccurate or make mistakes? The world isn't filled with perfect data in every format. Good grief.

Perhaps I get worked up and comment here in hopes that the AI overlords will view me favorably based on my online comments. My real frustration, though, is with the significant number of "usually smart" people who continue to downplay such incredibly cool technology.
I could see someone doing that to practice bringing up a difficult suggestion like moving to another state, or trying a sexual fantasy. I’m not proposing this actually be done, mind you. It doesn’t seem healthy. But LLM usage is hardly about advancing healthy behavior so far, despite their emphasis on safety.
One aspect is that brands like can "rotate" their product and sell new stuff to a new generation, but social tech is stuck because (if it's good) it keeps the existing users, which inherently makes it uncool for new users.

The social tech that your parents use can't be cool, by definition, no matter how good it is, the fact that your parents (and grandparents!) generation is already there is a big drawback to coolness. But social tech companies are reluctant (for obvious practical reasons) to periodically create new generations of social networks to capture a new generation of users by intentionally providing them "not your parents' social network".
Whether or not it's applied consistently doesn't even help the situation. The goal is clearly to muddy the waters on what we mean by state-sponsored media. Even if he labels everything consistently as state-sponsored, it nonetheless serves to mask organizations without editorial independence by creating confusion within the discourse.
Yeah what's stopping people doing this? Do they hate 'advance fees' and just want to pay yearly because they consider themselves financially savvy, or what is the issue?
I like it, I happened upon a good collection of accounts to follow by chance and it worked out well. I really only switched because the company that made the Twitter client I used (Tapbots) made a Mastodon client (Ivory) shortly after Elon yanked API access for most third party clients. My acct is in my bio if you wanna take a look, it’s pretty chill but def less busy than Twitter
Am I the only one to wonder why one of the greatest mind of this generation doesn't have an assistant to free his time for some more worthwhile use of it?

Ask those people who rode the hype wave 10 years ago. They had grand plans to make Star Trek replicators happen a few centuries before they were predicted.

I suspect the satire whooshed over your head.
I’m not sure about onboarding but to my eye the general UX kind of misses the mark on what’s valuable about this app.

I see the app as basically “voice recorder plus” and in that regard it’s incredibly powerful. As you have the UX now, the app is more like “AI content creator that can only take voice input” which is less compelling and results in the initial flow you have now.

I think a more straightforward “record than choose output” makes a lot of sense. I could see how “choose then record” would be efficient if I always knew I wanted to create a blog post, for instance, but absent that it’s overall off putting to have to think ahead of time what you want your output to be.

If the initial (and usual) experience is “record something then we’ll ask what you want to create” I think it will unfold for new users much more clearly.
> When the oncall gets paged, an SLO should be in jeopardy in a way that requires immediate measures

> No SLO in jeopardy, or no immediate measure that needs to be taken?

A little contradictory here. Maybe your "or" should've been an "and". But anyways:

I can think of several scenarios for which an SLO is not in jeopardy for which you should get paged. All of which boils down to "Yes it is important for the business, our users, our brand" but still not worth having an SLO around because it's either 1) hard to measure or 2) too difficult to implement.

In an ideal world with infinite engineering resources on your team, you could have and _maintain_ an SLO for every part of the business that your system effects. In the real world, trade-offs need to made and certain key SLOs prioritized.
I think it would still be irritating, but significantly less so. When a company buys another out and continues using a piece of software's name, they're doing so because that brand has built up some level of awareness and goodwill with the market. That awareness and goodwill is directly the result of its existing, satisfied customers. Alienating those satisfied customers while still cashing in on the reputation they built for you violates not only a basic sense of fairness, but probably in this case contractual obligations.

On the other hand, if you strip the existing software for parts, and put out something substantially different under new branding, at least you're giving something up.
No, that's incorrect. You're comparing unstable funds vs stable funds.

Income from a job is stable (relatively), income from other sources like say a monthly donation, is unstable.

So yes, my example is still accurate: they rely on the 1k/mo as STABLE funding.
Yes we do have government provided ID cards. Your driver’s license (or if you don’t drive there’s a non-driver version that’s just a card). There is no mandate to get one or carry it (except for driving).

We have issues with voter registration because it’s been politicized. Poor people are disproportionately less likely to have ID cards (because it costs money, takes time, and most people get it to drive which is expensive), less likely to have it up to date. It’s disenfranchising to mandate IDs. Whether or not it’s a problem falls down party lines and your favorite statistician’s analysis. But that’s why it’s “an issue”.
Forget about Mars, what about spending that $44B to lobby the government to end poverty for children in the US, feels like a noble cause. Senators and Congressmen/women are bribed, excuse me, lobbied, for peanuts (< millions).
well, certainly a customer that feels screwed will hate to bring you money, so even if you can force someone to get customer support from you will hate you, and eventually when they can get out, they will, no company is exempted from this reality, people like to feel companies care about them and their product or service makes their lifes easier, else they fly away, but i think those who push this shitty ideas are more likely directives born in rich environments, they don't understand the customer and try to optimize to cut corners instead of trying to be relevant on the market, or shall we say, they rest on their laurels
I think the reality is that the useful part of meta-verse, the meta part, runs contradictory to the interests of a company like meta. Because it involves:

1) De-proprietorizing user data

2) Handing identity from identity providers (like meta) to open systems

3) Allowing foreign content into the walled garden

So Meta built the least useful but snazziest part of the meta-verse, the verse part. And they built it in the face of a bunch of other already extant "verses", like Roblox which offer a more intersting landscape for interaction.

I'm a paid DAU of ChatGPT. I'm using it regularly as a tutor to help work through a technical online course I'm taking, and it is extremely good at that. My cousin who is in college says basically every student is using it to help study.

There could be an excess of hype, but there is clear significant and immediate value of these tools.
I'm one of the people who thinks "government-funded" is a fair label (though "state-affiliated" isn't as it implies editorial control).

However, not putting up with someone's (or a company's) antics is not a temper-tantrum, nor a factor in if their decision was "adult" or not. If an organization is offended by a company's decision, then what's wrong with their decision to leave?

Why would they tarnish their brand by having all of their posts accompanied by a label that they deem to be false?

It could be argued this is why wearing masks can be helpful, for some, even though there is no evidence they protect against respiratory viruses.

Glad that Pat is making good on his strategy to offer IFS to everyone, even bleeding edge process nodes. I really think this is the only way to truly mitigate the dependance on fabs that are entirely in the East China Sea region. If Intel can ensure that IP is safe between IFS and a potential competitor to Intel, then I think this is all for the better.

Went searching, could find a lot of In-Q-Tel investments, but nothing about an investment in SpaceX.

What I did find is that Mike Griffin, the aerospace engineer who became the top NASA administrator in 2005, had a previous job as president of In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s in-house venture-capital fund for national security tech.

He invested $500 million in commercial space, eventually $396 million eventually going to SpaceX, along with $454 million of outside capital and $100 million of Musk's own money in 2006. [0]

So, if there is in In-Q-Tel investment, it is logged behind the Crunchbase paywall. That said, In-Q-Tel is an excellent idea to produce better home-grown security technology, and I have no problem with it (not even with their publicized investment in Facebook, and I consider FB a plague on humanity — that's more of a slur on In-Q-Tel than In-Q-Tel is on FB).

1) They both blog, they just don't charge subscribers for the blog articles. The bias is very evident though, as they talk about themselves.

2) No, this is not what I meant. I meant easy loan terms, otherwise they would have just gone after less competitive loans in the open market.

3) Ask Elon? He gets to kill multiple birds with one Twitter purchase. Something Bezos can't do.

4) There's a distinction between "paying for something" and "paying someone who does something", and that distinction is editorial control. Ask artists and writers who sell works for hire by specification. And tell it to those who have had their accounts locked, even under Musk's ownership.
Normal? That's not what I was talking about in this specific instance of Twitter though. Maybe you can make your point more clear.

Leaning right is not the same as right wing. Based on the word “lean”. If someone believes in capitalism as a positive concept then they lean right based on the meaning of what right politics are.

That’s confusing. Let me use another word: Huberman and Joe Rogan are liberals. So are a lot of the researchers and other people he brings on. If we agree then we are discussing semantics. Any conceit was a misunderstanding of me using words that you disagree with because of your world perspective vs mine.
> In the worst case - which is incredibly unlikely with a good hash, and you'll notice Rust supplies a good hash by default - we'll insert 623 items which have the same hash, and so they'll prefer to ideally be in the same bucket, but they're instead taking up 623 contiguous buckets and all our searches are now linear, so our performance is poor with average probe length 312.

Yeah, this is the nub of the issue. You’re avoiding allocation by giving up amortized O(k) lookup. So there’s a trade off here. Roughly, you have a choice between getting slow in unlikely scenarios or allocating in unlikely scenarios. In typical Go code, neither option is obviously better or worse in general. In the context of Rust, it makes sense to avoid allocations.

Preallocating hashtables of fixed size seems like a rare use case to me, though I don’t doubt that it might come up from time to time.

I think you're both right. I think generative AI will be like the internet, and we'll experience a 90s-style bubble first, then it will gradually transform everything.

Personally though, I've already used it for multiple real-world applications in my business and personal life, whereas crypto was only ever a toy. VR I'm less sure about; so far it's only a toy, and I think it will take longer than AI to make a real difference, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least AR and probably VR are both eventually very commonplace.
> GDPR compliant.

The simple fact of sending PII such as IP addresses to a third-party for something that can trivially be done via analyzing existing server logs (without introducing a third-party) already puts this on shaky grounds from a GDPR point of view regardless of everything else.
the Win+Shift+S pulls up this same feature. I actually quite like it as its the windows analog for snipping. Or maybe i changed that myself...I dont recall doing it though.

That said, one thing that does bug me is the Ubuntu terminal behavior change that no longer respects right clicks for paste, or ctrl+v for that matter.

I had to go digging to restore that and was causing some havoc with vim as instead of pasting when in Insert mode, it would toss me in some -- Insert (visual)-- mode
