I’m not AI researcher, and I only barely understand the theory, so I’m just looking to keep slightly ahead of the curve so I can adapt to whatever is coming next, try new things and projects, and add these new tools to my belt before others.
I never get tired of hearing people say publicly that they are tired, need a break, and will put themselves first for the foreseeable.

Hello. Me and Ognjen made this, the main site is now: https://languagereactor.com/

Audio and subs usually don't match for dubbed audio tracks (it's usually ok if you watch a French movie with French subs etc.). I have code that processes the Netflix audio with Whisper ASR, it works very well. Hopefully Netflix don't mind us adding this (my email is in my profile), I think we'll bring this online in a couple of weeks. If any other video provider is interested in having Language Reactor support their site, mail me.

Also, we're rolling out a 'virtual conversation partner' starting today: https://forum.languagelearningwithnetflix.com/t/chat-feature...
> I've been using iPhones for 13 years now personally, and for 6 years with work. I have lightning cables coming out of my ears (a mixture of first and third party)

I had loads of pre-lightning connectors. I've still got two clock ratios with those connectors on. Apple change to lightning created tons of e-waste then.
Our climate may already have reached an irreversible tipping point
For me this is also a major failure of poor competition policy.

If Google's smart home system were an independent company, it would love or die by its ability to do its job. But Nest can just piggy back on Google's brand power.
I'd argue that it has changed quite dramatically in the last 30 years. As you say, there are now many great open access publishers. That wasn't nearly so established 30 years ago. Paid access journals haven't died yet, but they're well on their way.

hey wazero dev here, AMA!
When I realized I need to register all my light bulbs and appliances and control them by janky wireless signals, with reconnect issues from time to time, I just gave up and use physical switches. They work all the time. Why would I want to open or close a light when I am 100 steps away from the button?
Do you realize your parallel doesn't apply here? We're speaking about an iPhone, not a fridge nor a car.
You can make a nice habit of checking sources like

A few times a day checking Hackernews top 60 & occasionally sifting through the "New" page. ( Not efficient, but kinda works )

Also keeping an eye on Twitter, following OpenAI, but also the companies like StabilityAI, Deepmind etc. + the model generation ( e.g. Llama offsprings, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion ) & following AI Researchers in and around these projects.
Our providers offer that as well, but its significantly more expensive for the same speeds you'd get from cable/fiber/dsl. 500Mbits is 49 for wired, but 79 for having a 5G modem. And typically, if you have a 5G station close to you, you usually also have a fast wired internet option so baring edge cases, it doesnt make sense here.

> When Foxconn workers were killing themselves from the poor conditions of their working environment, the solution psychologists came up with was "safety nets".

While I agree with the core point, (1) Foxconn was employing more people than some US states at the time, with a lower suicide rate, and (2) New York University library put up similar nets around the same time.

(If anything this makes your point stronger; it's just that the more I learn about the reality, the more that meme annoys me).
The problem is that academics are evaluated based on the impact factor of the journal they publish in.

If I submit a grant application and I have five papers in Nature, I will get the job. If I submit the application with five preprints on biorxiv, I might as well not have published those. It's like that all the way down - my last academic employer required me to publish a certain amount of papers per year in my niche's top 10% impact factor journals. it's due to laziness - I'm an expert, my employer is not, so my employer cannot evaluate my work quality. So the evaluation is outsourced to journal editors, with a paper acceptance in a prestigious journal being a stamp of approval of my skills.

The reason why people do not build their own journals is that they will work, for a long time, outside this impact factor system. You could chuck all of your papers into alternative journals, but you will fast jeopardise your career. It's not a technological problem, it's a political problem.
It’s not universal until we can power appliances, TVs, Microwaves, Fridges, Ovens, and EV Cars with it.
I feel like it's not only products that get left behind once Google gets bored.

Many of Google's software eventually get worse too. YouTube for example has killed most of their social features by removing dislikes, limited searchability of videos by channel, allowed bots to fill the comments. And Google search has so much malware in their ads that pop up first, that even govts are recommending ad blockers by default.

Such a pity, Google used to be the most respected of the SV big tech.
I feel you. The part that resonates with me the most is we have a choice to make: give up or fight. Our time will pass either way.

I had many of these moments in my life and, after some hesitation, always picked the get up and fight mode. I hope you will too. It wil get us places for sure.

Good luck with your life, carry on!

If Apple just sticks to the specification to the letter they achieve exactly what they want and what HackerNews hates, only proper power supplies work and cheap inferior crap charges slowly. They can just put a logo on cables and chargers that work to the specification instead of cutting corners left and right in the race to the bottom. And there is no way for the EU to appear credible and restrict this.

Against making all employees happy in the name of culture
One thing that seems to have helped (anecdote of 1) is getting a longer (quality) HDMI cable and making sure the end that connects to the MacBook goes in as straight as possible. As you may have noticed, there is quite a bit of play in that connector and I suspect having it at an angle degrades the connection.
Honestly I don't see how a dieselgate-like situation may be possible. Automakers could bypass the law because no one measures their own car's emissions. In this case, instead, people would take 30 seconds to realize their third-party cable doesn't work with their iPhone because of Apple.
It's universal enough for all power consumption up to 240W, which includes what you need to charge a smartphone.

For huge appliances, you need a different connector, larger conductors in the cables, etc... it really will never scale the whole spectrum because of physics laws. Else, everything melts and burns.
> The crazy thing about this, is growing up and realizing that not everybody was raised like this.

> limiting technical progress is not a good idea and we see that with the plethor of different power modes existing within USB-C.

Who is limiting technical progress? The laws don't state that only USB-C can ever be used; they state that chargers must all be compatible. Want to improve it? Contribute to USB, or come up with an entirely new standard that everyone can agree to.

> What if a company (Apple) comes up with a more efficient but also more elaborate way to quick charge their equipment?

Then they contribute to the next USB standardization, same as everyone else.

> How would you handle a situation where non-compliant chargers could even harm this equipment?

Same way it's currently done: Through consumer protection laws. USB standards are called standards for a reason.

> USB-C already is way too complex for the average Shenzen cookie cutter factory to implement it correctly.

And yet people are happily using USB-C to power all kinds of devices.

> How would you protect your customers from such a situation?

CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS

Enough with the FUD.
Lol and a lot of Apple's charging cables are Lightning to USB C now. I can't wait to get a USB C iPhone. All my stuff is USB C, from my Braille display to my game controllers. It'll make things so much easier to only need one kind of cable for everything.
Lightning "just works" only because it's all made and validated by Apple. If you want guaranteed compatibility, just keep buying Apple-branded Type C cables and adapters like you did for Lightning.

The only difference now is that you also have the option of using other cables and adapters if you want/need to, as well as use your Apple charging stuff for charging other things.

Welcome to 2005 when arguments about 'uniqueness' didn't hold and we got fungible chargers that could be used with multiple devices.
Love that Google calendar does this
Apple doesn’t use ‘Apple connectors’ on the phone chargers, they are universal USB adapters.

I am sorry if the title is misleading. I didn't mean "are you using types in your project, at all?" but rather "are you using types for every problem when some of them could be easier solved with linting?"
Similarly, finding the right replacement DC adapter for electronics is challenging. I have had to do this a few times, to avoid travel adapters bundled with equipment.

Roll on more USB C dominance.
Using the Xbox controller cable with an actual charger does work. The confusion came with how the PC delivers power to the controller but not the headset.

It’s ultimately not a big deal, and it’s surely something I can learn to intuit. But I think lots of consumers (I think about my poor mother) would benefit from a clearer labeling scheme on the various devices, ports, chargers, or cables.
Has the "Waveshare SIM7600" and the raspberry pi bootloader/gpu have open source firmware?

I didn't think there were any open source baseband modems that did 4g, I know there were some software defined radio projects but they seemed of limited utility.

I know in the past there were some attempts to make rpi firmware open source but some of components would not activate or had reduced functionality, so I wonder if that is no longer a problem.
> By (b) I mean “security doesn’t matter,” in the sense that very few companies have ever died from security incidents.

Ashley Madison, and Mt Gox come to mind. I suspect Lastpass will be added to that list soon.
DLR still powers dynamic keyword, and related class libraries.
Fine, just speak your mind.

But for charge speed, the only parameters really are voltage and maximum current. Both are plenty enough (for a smartphone battery) in the PD standard.
No, the EDPD exempts news platforms.

However, Google didn't want to be considered a news platform, because otherwise they'd be held responsible for their content. So you can't ask CNN to remove the article themselves, but you can (and people do) ask Google to remove those article from search results.
i think the reality is that, while peer review can be helpful in various ways to a research community, the filtering function of journals less helpful for academics than it is for outsiders.

(usually people in a field know which preprints are “good” and don’t care much if they’ve been peer reviewed yet.)

so research communities themselves don’t intrinsically want to pay the cost of high quality compensated peer review when most of the value goes to others.

When this all started, I had the same argument of hindering technical progress. But then I realised that all companies have to do is support usb c, it's fair game if they want to add another plug alongside it.

Prediction: If Bluesky gains any sort of traction, Elon will kill it.
> "Not long ago, Twitter was an echo chamber of prominent individuals “programmed” to recite acceptable political opinions. Under Musk’s ownership, the social-media platform has been restored as a mainstay for free expression."
That's presumably because HA is categorically outside the author's field of view, not being a branded corporate plug'n'play product with a marketing budget, but open-source with "DIY" in the first paragraph on the page.

I don't think the author is interested in providing alternative solutions at all. This article reads like a cry for attention directed at Google and no one else.
> So, in other words, the EU forced one standard, which it is now abandoning (generating piles of micro-usb e-waste),

This is hyperbole. Especially because a common retort on these articles is “surely this standardisation kills innovation”.

A standard was adopted, preventing lots of e-waste. However, the old standard is now past its useful life, so a revised standard is being universally adopted.

This is the best of both worlds: a standard reduces the amount of duplicate adapters manufactured. However, it doesn't hold back progress and innovation when needs genuinely change.
The copyright deal is, we the people will give you exclusive rights for a limited time, in return the work will then enter the public domain for all to use.

If at the start of the deal you ensure your work cannot fulfill the requirements of that deal, eg use DRM, then you do not enter into that deal as you have already refused it by not fulfilling your end.

In your analogy, you're putting locks on a house, but you were only allowed to rent the house under the agreement that you wouldn't leave it locked up. and you didn't leave a key with anyone or do anything to make sure the house was unlockable. In fact the locks are booby traps that will destroy the house when your rental period is up, robbing those who would otherwise occupy the house of every having that opportunity ... yes, it's a protracted analogy because it sucks and these are different concepts.
It's not just a question of total power - smartphones have limited space and thermal budget for internal power conversion compared to laptops, which means that the fastest charging option often moves some of the work of converting to the correct voltage to the charger. (Also, I don't think 240W USB PD has really been adopted by anyone currently, and that's a spicy amount of current given the general quality of USB C cables.)
Except that UWP is deprecated, so they can at any time pull a Sony, and remove the support.

This is when you have to realize that the person is a sociopath who will say anything to get what they want, even pretending to apologize. When they seem earnest they're still pathologically lying because the malice goes beyond intentional but becomes casual, as that's just who they are. And people wonder why we have trust issues.

The unfortunate reality is that these sort of people also get very far in life, since nature and society love go getters without morals or conscience.
Yeah, I totally agree. The only annoyance I see is that you have to experiment with what cables and power adapters through trial and error to find what works with particular devices. I mentioned in a different reply in this thread that there ought to be some kind of consumer-friendly labeling on these things, so that you can see at a glance what will work with what.
I learned about an interesting corner case last week: devices that use USB-C physical connectors but have USB 2.0 PHY. You can get away with a much longer cable at that lower Baud rate, but that cable likely won't work for most USB-C devices.
Love how you framed this, also a parent with a kid with issues.

You aren't considering the phase-out costs, particularly mortality and environmental costs from the fossil fuels that Germany has now doubled down on.

Green Party activists often demonize nuclear while calling for renewables and their inevitable companion of gas peaking plants. Activists pretend "renewables + gas" is green and clean using insane cognitive dissonance, while claiming that renewables can power 100% of a country's energy needs -- a farcical claim not supported in any country.
What he means is, having a proprietary connector means they can milk accessory makers with licensing fees.
They shouldn't have made it proprietary. Lightning could've been the USB-C instead of what we got.

Question: How exactly could Elon kill a open protocol?
One thing is the definition of the surface layer of water (0 to -20m correct) and other how to measure its temperature.

If you use a floating thermometer the sun-rays are probably warming it or the winds are cooling it, so you are including an error in your sample. The results are higher or lower water temperatures than the real ones.

It is assumed that the water layer mix uniformly in the first meters by wave forces and wind so we can measure surface at 10m perfectly
> Pay per second Linux boxes with public IPs. A lot of the VPS/server hosts I used in the past took minutes to boot an instance and billed you by the hour (or maybe by the month, although that was uncommon), not so with EC2.

It's only worth it if the pay-per-second box has an equivalent or better cost-performance ratio than the "legacy" alternative, otherwise it's still cheaper to get one "legacy" VPS/dedicated server, use it for 10 seconds and let the rest go to "waste".
> Belgium will soon have the most secure systems in the world, or no one dares running open computer systems there.

There are three groups of people:

* People who hack for profit and want to exploit you.

* People who hack for fun and don't care about telling you.

* People who hack for fun and are polite enough to tell you about it afterwards.

#1 isn't going to be deterred by law, as hacking is illegal already. #2 might do it anyway, since the risk of getting caught is low, you just won't hear about it. #3 is the only group that this new law will affect, and the way it will affect them is that now they can tell you about it without fearing repercussions.

I don't see this making people more afraid to run open computer systems. The bad guys were always going to get to them anyway.
Maybe instead of hoping for a lawsuit just stop buying shit google makes. They’ve repeatedly dropped whole product lines on short notice, and even the Android phones they have produced have sometimes had pathetically short supported lives.
Also because in case of the Diesel gate, the constructors literally did the law since it was design by consortium and constructors lobbies were involve.

I hope the EU got vaccinated against this kind of practices.

If not, they should also look to what the FAA+boeing certified by consortium did with the 737 MAX and then get vaccinated definitively.
Bluesky just existed for a short while so far, it's to be expected.

That sounds a bit far fetched to me, I have had my Internet go down multiple times and never have a Nest problem. In fact I don’t even think an Internet connection is required if you just want it to be a dumb thermostat.

The default safety settings on my nest is 45F for heat and 95F for AC. This setting is user adjustable so maybe your family member override it.
