Hollywood writers, slamming 'gig economy,' go on strike
Inflation can never be caused by wages, since wages are the last thing to increase in price, after everything else has increased. Wage-driven inflation is a propaganda myth.
Can you provide an example of something you consider to be complicated? I’d like to know how to calibrate your comment.

And what's the situation now?

Look for clear and distinct frequency bands corresponding to the vocal range of human speech (generally around 100 Hz to 8 kHz).
If the frequency bands are well defined and distinct then the speech is likely clear and intelligible.
If the frequency bands are blurred or fuzzy then the speech may be muffled or distorted.

Note that speech like any audio source consists of multiple frequencies, a fundamental frequency and its harmonics.

Background noise can be identified as distinct frequency bands that are not part of the vocal range of human speech.
E.g. if you see lots of bright lines below or above the human vocal range then there's lots of background noise.
Especially lower frequencies can have a big impact on the perceived clarity of a recording whereas high frequencies come of as being more annoying.

Noise within the frequency range of human speech is harder to spot and you should always use your ears to decide whether it's noise or not.

You can also use a spectrogram to check for plosives (e.g. "s" "k" "t" sounds) as they also can make a recording sound bad/harsh.
Plowing to remove weeds, which you pretty much have to do is bad for the soil and uses a lot more fuel than spraying a little bit of chemical.

Crops that yield better mean much less land is used. Thus fertilizer is generally better than none, though this is complex. (Crop rotation is still good)
It is already below 50% and rapidly dropping. There is no significant difference in efficiency already, and this will vanish entirely within time. BEVs are simply lying about this fact.

Energy storage will require hydrogen energy storage. This is the fundamental problem of direct electrification strategies. They will need vast amounts of energy storage that cannot be solved except using hydrogen.
Of course coops can scale.

I'll give it a read. I'm always interested in new ways to starve 300,000,000 people, so we can head it off before it occurs.
Maybe you're right, I guess no one really knows but I can completely imagine the future you're describing and I hate it.

On the other hand, I think we're a little stuck in this "robots" and "AI" is the only future idea, because it seems absolutely inevitable today, that should evolve too though.

If technology progresses as fast as proclaimed, and we can actually stay in control of these systems then we might not even think about or need robots in 20 years. Maybe we've essentially solved energy and we can basically just quit mining and produce much of what we need synthetically?
$149 is still a significant amount for many people. Especially for something non-essential.

No we are heading to a one party system. But that has nothing to do with first past the post. There are several historical and social reasons for that.
Well, if you want environmental politic, they are, by far, the least worst party. I vote for them even though I fundamentally disagree on their position on nuclear. This is called making compromises, it's painful, but it's the grown up thing to do.

FDP has climate nagationists on their payroll. Only the far left die Linke has actually a better environmental programme than the green but their position (Schwarzer, Wagenknecht...) on the Ukraine war showed they just exited reality a while back...

It's a sad state to have to vote for the "least worse", but I think it's been like that for while, I just didn't want to see it...
No. Not for a minute should you believe it would be beyond the pale for the establishment to push a narrative while not letting users/patients know all the facts. They may think they are doing these things for the right reasons and that history would prove them right (maybe, maybe not) but be assured you will receive bad information from that establishment and it will try to cover its tracks (mistakes) and be loath to admit they were wrong when the skeptics were right (of course it’s the nature of skeptics to be counter and will also be wrong, but they don’t have the force of the establishment behind them).
They are not comparing the same form of costs. Point 33 is the cost to US as a nation, which involve everything from the wages and building that support the legal system, prisons, and IP loss from things like foreign economic espionage.

Point 35 is only the losses that victims of property crimes has (excluding arson).

If we use the same metric in both cases the losses from victims of IP theft would be exactly zero, and property crimes would be infinitive larger in comparison.

Writing or modifying an existing driver for something like an I2S DAC would suit you, I think.

You'd have to figure out phandle support for the I2C configuration channel, fire up I2S streaming by enabling it in the kernel and piping audio to the DAC, then playing it into some speakers.

Could expand it by adding some filtering. Many DACs have filter banks that you can populate with coefficients via I2C.

There's some decent kernel module resources and examples in this repo if this is something you're brand new to:

It is true that it helped me when I went to gym, it hurt at first but got a lot better within 2 weeks. Could be just coincidence but now I've stopped the pain is coming back.
I just managed to get a hallucination within 30 seconds.

"Give me some YouTube creators who focus on tutorials for the Godot game engine"

It returns a list of 7 creators, one of the creators it provides in the list doesn't exist.

"Provide a link to a video by one of these creators"

This works, the URL is right but the content is slightly different to what it describes (ChatGPT reports that the tutorial is for a platformer but it's general 2d advice)

"Now provide a link to similar material but for a 3d game"

Provided link doesn't exist, creator doesn't exist. Entirely hallucinated.

Even better, following up with "Is that URL right?" gets this response:

> I apologize, it seems I made a mistake in my previous response. The video link I provided by HeartBeast is actually a tutorial for creating a 2D platformer in Godot, not a 3D first-person shooter.

and then another hallucinated link. Important to note, HeartBeast is a real creator but that wasn't the creator it listed originally and that creator has not made any first person tutorials. ChatGPT hallucinated with very little effort, then hallucinated a mistake, then hallucinated the solution.

Never has my work been so second-guessed and ripped apart. I suppose my price was too high for them, not sure.

I'm still reflecting and have no good conclusions to offer.

(But part of the time I was in bad health and my work quality suffered. So that explains one percentage of the cases at least.)
As a practicing Christian and member of the church of Jesus Christ I was taught, and teach regularly, to question everything. Questions are how we build understanding and faith. The last chapter of the Book of Mormon is an admonishment to reflect on what is written, to think about, ask questions and to pray about it.

What I think too many very intelligent people forget is that faith and knowledge are two different things. But, if you want to start a project, a business, or a relationship... You need both. One feeds the other.

I choose never to undermine the faith of others because it is those strong beliefs and acts of faith that created light bulbs, assembly lines, search engines, massive online book stores and put us in the moon again and again. Faith is pretty powerful stuff

> The sensation of moving down a tunnel towards a bright light, reliving past memories and hearing or seeing deceased relatives have all been reported by people from many cultures who have had a brush with death. Sceptics, however, say these experiences could be caused by people hallucinating as they recover in hospital.

The way that the default is presented here is interesting. Interpreting the experiences as hallucinations makes you a "sceptic" - presumably a sceptic of them being evidence for some kind of afterlife. Whether or not brain activity records of dying people are available, treating these subjective experiences as anything other than naturalistic in origin seems bizarre to me.
Because it makes searching for info online much more complicated than it needs to be. Take Ubuntu Unity for instance, Unity is one of the most popular game engines out there and it also happens to run on Linux. When you do a search for Unity + Linux you get results for both things and it takes extra time sorting out the search results.

I think your statements are great and I would love if the world would work the way you are trying to convey. But it doesn't.

I pointed out that the outcome of whether AI will replace human labor is not in the hands of individuals, or at least only in a trivial manner. If you are running a car factory today, do you honestly believe it should not use robots? And do you seriously think that the CEO of such a company can just single-handedly decide to ignore the massive efficiency gains that automation provides? It is no different if your product is copywriting, software or whatever other process AI will inevitably transform. Appealing to the individual good will of middle managers or even executives simply cannot stop it.

It's not as though the resaon for public transport is soley to reduce emissions/use less of a limited resource, and even if it were & all public transport used it, its still vastly more efficient to move 50 people with 1.5x the motor that would otherwise be moving 2 people
He didn’t bother to ask a clarifying question. Apparently, he found as much as he wanted to know at the time.
Do you understand that there are many unconnected for-profit and non-profit medical systems all over the world? Including areas of low to no enforcement due to lack proper government and they are not doing anything different?
It’s been intentional for a while and serves multiple purposes

Promotion: “the thing we’re working on is so powerful it’s actually dangerous”

Restrict who can compete: “the model is too dangerous to release, here’s how you make it but no you have to train it yourself for X millions cost in compute time”

Vendor lock-in: “the thing we’re working on is so dangerous we can’t let it off our servers, so you must use our servers and pay us to use it”

It’s all just a result of AI being paper driven and having to release your research but you need to find ways that releasing the research doesn’t let the competition catch up too fast.

The little act they keep doing and pushing to the press is becoming tiresome though.

That's not what I meant. I'm fully aware of things done in history including "cancelling" whole nations. Things changed in Europe democracies after WWII though. The hate between various groups of people during and immediately after war was beyond belief for many and they really didn't want to see the result of this hate again.

That's why democracies in Europe have accepted rather extremist political movements after WWII. That's why the collapse of Soviet Union was relatively peaceful and people even serving actively communist dictatorship had all their rights to live their lives in new democratic states. If you commit a crime, you will be punished, but you will have a right to live your life even if your views are very different from mine. It doesn't mean that it doesn't happen at all, but it hasn't been socially acceptable to cancel people.

I see it changing and I don't like it. I remember what happened during WWII and after that in my country.
well, it does work if interpreted that way, but i think it's not very elegant. something like "smaller slices of cake" would work better, or having to divide a jackpot between a higher number of players.
Show HN: LingoSync.ai translates videos into 40 languages
Dear HN,

a friend and I are testing the waters of launching a SaaS offering.

We've built a prototype of LingoSync.ai, which will allow customers to translate the audio of any video with spoken text into 40+ languages. The process will be 100% automatic.

We take the original audio, translate it into the target languages, and create translated videos where the translated audio roughly matches the timestamps of the original audio. It's not perfectly lip-synced (we also do not alter the video stream), but translated sentences start where original sentences started, which is good enough for many use-cases.

We are currently running a closed beta and created a landingpage which showcases the product and allows to sign up for the waiting list: https://lingosync.ai/en

That would be me. I never read blogs. I never write blogs. I never go to meetups. I don't contribute to anything on GitHub. I occasionally watch a video or two on YouTube, that's about it.

You see, I'm a Corporate C# programmer from the EU. All I ever need exists on microsoft.com and stackoverflow.com, and when my 9-5 is up, I go home and I don't think about work for the rest of the day. Average age of my team is probably around 40.
I've learned almost everything I know through reading and listening, with very little discourse. I rarely asked questions in class, never had tutors, never went to office hours. I hesitate to post questions online. If I don't understand something, I just read ... more, or bang my head against it as trial and error.

I think this is partly why I'm still looking to be wowed by this technology, personally, in terms of what it can accomplish for me. And while it could be rightly said I've made things unnecessarily hard for myself approaching life like this, I feel it has been beneficial, and enriching, to force myself to really ask, what is this person saying here? In particular, I wouldn't want GPT to lead to a general lessening of empathy.
Does anyone else hate the fact that we are actively encouraging making a low trust society? That can't lead to good things...

But I would hope academics are not doing literally the same research? In other words, are you saying that if we had fewer people working in academia, the same quantity of research would get done in the world?

This is not specific to rails, at all. It can happen with any stack you use. If you prefer building on top of some minimalist framework, then it’s very likely you end up with worse problems. If you don’t because you’re an excellent programmer, then you wouldn’t have had those problems with rails either.

It’s not the tools what make things a mess or a great piece of art. It’s the people using it.

Clipper was an awful experience for a non-American like me when I visited last year. I couldn't install the mobile app (the app listing is region locked to the US). I couldn't set it up on Google Pay either (the Google Pay offerings were also region locked).

I then spent half an hour trying to purchase a physical card from a machine which refused to accept 4 different cards I tried (credit and debit both). In the end, I could only purchase it with an American card that I borrowed from someone.

Compare that to modern public transport systems in many parts of the world, where you can simply check in and out with a bank card. No separate purchase needed.
I code like that. I got burned one too many times spending hours/days on an inner call that turned out to be unnecessary. When you solve outside-in, you are sure you're solving the right problem in the right way without overcommitting to intermediate steps.
