It does and that's indeed Whisper I'm currently using. I do have mixed feelings about it:

- On the one hand, it performs well in so many cases… and having multilingual support built-in is great!
- On the other hand: there's actually NO OPTION to Whisper to recognize just two languages (you either recognize ONE language or ANY language with it, which can cause issues depending on one's pronunciation and the language at hand.)

Will definitely turn OFF multilingual speech recognition by default, because the huge majority of negative reactions in this thread stem from this.
IMHO it's fine if the feature is retracted for a minimal number of users when scaling down (can be done stateless, as described in your other post). It's just that it shouldn't jiggle all over the place when gradually increasing the percentage.
The message (before first run only) just says the software "can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." and "This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information."

Anyway, it's only hard to run if you have no idea what you're doing... pretty much the same people who should not be running executables randomly downloaded from the internet are the ones blocked by hurdles like this.
I'd call that a "story" rather than a theory.
Just in case (not sure if you know), my entire comment was satire / made-up. I do think there is an unfortunate level of unintended bias, but no LLM generated my text.

But also, if your point is "it's OK to attack X group but not Y group", I just disagree that it's up to someone else to decide that for me. I'd rather make that decision for myself and have LLMs be a tool that doesn't attempt to make that distinction for me! Alas, capitalism and monopolies gonna capitalism and monopoly, I can't really complain too much about what product OpenAI decides to offer.

After all, a 1950s LLM with heavy moral alignment wouldn't have let you generate output about homosexual love. Allowing a central authority to decide what language is acceptable works great when people you agree with are in charge. Ask liberal primary school teachers in Florida who are being barred from teaching about sexual orientation how well it works when someone you don't like is in power.
Did you try with multilingual speech recognition turned off?
Typically features like this are disabled by default for Workspace so that admins can opt-in to them. This has happened for years with many features. Part of the selling point of Workspace is stability and control.

In this particular case, I would guess (I have no inside info) that companies are sensitive to use of AI tools like Bard/ChatGPT on their company machines, and want the ability to block access.

All this boils down to Workspace customers are companies, not individuals.
Yup. Every graphic designer I know around the world uses Photoshop in English, not in their native language.

Every Photoshop user knows the difference between the image and the canvas, between layers and channels and levels. They learn what dodge and burn mean.

But nobody can even guess what arbitrary terms a translator will use for layers and canvases and channels and levels, or what terms printers used for dodging and burning back in the day.

Not to mention most Photoshop tutorials you find are in English as well.

So you don't say that you percieve stimuli with touch, taste and pain receptors? Instead you should say that you sense it? I'm not a native speaker. That's why I'm curious about the distinction.

The worst case of all renewable equipment being landfilled would be acceptable. Any recycling would just be icing on the cake.

Also, the materials going into renewable infrastructure powering society will be small compared to materials going into society as a whole. If recycling can be done on the latter, it could be done on the former. If it can't be done on the latter, the former wouldn't matter. And the recycling on general materials is a problem that comes up even in a nuclear-powered society.

In reality it would be easy to go down to a single thumb key, making it 32 keys.

In short I have layers for numbers and symbols, I make heavy use of combos (pressing multiple keys at once) where I have modifiers, big keys like escape and enter and also the numbers and symbols (for typing singletons). I also have different functions for long press and I use capsword and numword (caps lock / layer that turns off intelligently).

It's a city. I live in a real city. SimCity is this flat set of graphics on a screen. I'd much rather be able to view my city that I created and see what it looks like on a human level.

I get your point, and many things would not be good.

But for me at least, SimCity would be. So would Call of Duty (and I know that because I've played 1st person shooters in VR before on multiple occasions).

Same can be said about cities: they are vulnerable to water issues (if a city loses access to water, it’s a major disaster), and military can weaponize them as fortification.

Does it mean that we shouldn’t build cities? No, obviously not, that’s silly: it just means that you have to make sure water is flowing, and that military invasions are hugely destructive.

>Discussing" something is not the same as offering it

I never said they were "offering" to smuggle him out. I said "collaborated on plans". The phrase you used is "discussed a plan". Are you really going to quibble over the semantic difference between those two?

>and your same source mentions that indeed said plane was then grounded due to suspicions Snowden was on board. In other words someone discussed a plan, that had it been put into action would have failed.

But it wasn't the actual plan because he wasn't on board. As I have said multiple times now in this thread, if he was on board, they could have planned the flight to not fly through the airspace of US allies. That was the only reason the plan was grounded. The US isn't going to shoot down a plane carrying a foreign head of state over international or foreign airspace.

>And it should be plainly obvious that offering someone asylum is not the same as offering to smuggle someone out of a foreign country.

No, but it is an offer that would have made him safe if he was smuggled there.

An affordable VR console with a lot of big games would be sufficient for VR mass market success, but likely some of those big titles would be automatically exclusive for that console, namely for first party titles. Those would first be made just to get the console off the ground. Sony made "Horizon Call of the Mountain" probably just to sell more headsets, not because they expected to make money with it. The install base is likely too low for that. A third party publisher wouldn't have an incentive to make such a big game. Valve probably also didn't earn anything with Half Life Alyx, they wanted to make their Steam market bigger.

The problem with Valve is that their platform is PCs, and a gaming PC + VR headset is too expensive for most people, who often don't already own a proper PC. The problem with Sony is similar: The PSVR 2 is not a standalone console, but just an add-on to a PS5, and PS5+PSVR2 is too expensive for people who are just interested in VR. It's like trying to sell a Game Boy which requires you to already own an SNES for it to function. It would be a flop.

The Meta Quest 2 is in a better position, it's standalone and rather affordable. But Meta can't support it with big games like Sony or Valve could. Meta doesn't have the expertise and probably also not the will to develop expensive AAA games in order too push Quest sales. They are more interested in the metaverse than in becoming a games company.

Nintendo could perhaps make a successful VR console, but it would require massive investments in AAA titles, which would be very risky for them, given their size. And Sony isn't interested in a standalone system.

Microsoft would be more likely. They have huge cash reserves and can afford to lose large amounts of money until they become profitable, as they've shown with the first XBox. But I they haven't shown any ambitions so far to invest billions into an "XBox VR" console and corresponding AAA games.
I grew up in a eastern bloc country, and what the GP says is spot-on. This is not stereotyping, this is how it was. I still have nightmares about queueing for cheese alone as a little boy (my grandma was queueing somewhere else for soy-based meat substitute) and getting shoved around by angry people that were desperate to get some produce before it ended - cause the supply was always less then the number of the people in the queue. Imagine waiting hours for the truck to arrive with cheese and it finishes just in front of you.
Both of these contribute a lot to Google's infra by giving it new challenges. It's not a one-way street, Google wouldn't know what to build towards in their data center/hardware pipeline without these really ambitious projects with huge requirements.

More to your second point, I think the space for teens has simply moved from the mall to Discord. If you decide to count voice calls and group chats as hanging out (which I would say a lot of young people do), I would imagine that you would find that teens are hanging out about as much as they always have.
This smells like a bug. I have Windows 11 Pro and I'm seeing weird behavior in this menu.

1. Historically it used to contain a bunch of blank file types, including .txt files.

2. Now it only has a Folder, Shortcut, WinRAR archive. That's right, only three items. This has to be a bug.
Of course not, but in an alternate universe where we had switched over to dvorak, mobile would have been terrible
> I'm googling, and not finding a reference here. As far as I can tell not one of these manufacturers (or anyone else) is shipping a consumer vehicle with a LIDAR sensor. You're just citing press releases about plans, I guess?

XPeng P5, XPeng G9, Nio ET7 are all shipping with lidar. You'll also see them in many other models starting this year: Mercedes S-class/EQS w/ Drive Pilot, Volvo EX90, Volvo XC90, Audi A6L/A7L/A8L/Q8, Polestar 3, etc. The list is growing [1].

> 2. Depth info from camera devices is proven sufficient. Again, Teslas don't hit stuff due to sensor failures, period (lots of nitpicking in this thread over that framing, here I'm being a bit more precise).

Teslas absolutely hit stuff. Plenty of examples in Reddit and YouTube about FSD hitting curbs, bollards and other things. We also don't know any accident numbers about Tesla because they actively hide it. They skirt CA DMV rules by not reporting it and have a very questionable methodology for what they consider an accident (they don't count it if airbags don't deploy).

> 3. All the remaining hard problems are about recognition and decisionmaking, all of which gets sourced from vision data, not a point cloud.

This is wrong, too. Object detection and decision making uses fused input from cameras, lidar and radar. They don't just use cameras. There's plenty of literature to look up on sensor fusion and how they're being used throughout the perception/behavior prediction stack.

> The conclusion being that LIDAR isn't worth it. It's not giving significant advantages.

Only if you lack the ability to do sensor fusion or if you have already falsely promised customers their cars are capable of fully autonomous driving and painted yourself into a corner. Only one company stands out here.

IMO this problem is bigger that software, their licenses, and the users

the underlying problem is digital assets, their lack of natural exclusivity, and the users and makers of the digital assets in a capitalist market environment.

i.e. this is not about 'the business of open source software'. the real problem is about 'digital assets in a (capitalist) marketplace'

meaning this won't get fixed by considering how to do open source software into a business. we must consider a much larger perspective: "how to have digital assets in a marketplace?" and a preceding hopefully obvious "but why do that in the first place?"

some possible 'viable' options that I've seen that explore this question in a more full sense:

- NFTs ( but I have a weird taste in my mouth 'saying' this)

- API economy (redefining 21st century api-culture? ahhaah get it? it's bee joke)

neither is overwhelmingly convincing... however I do know what I want: megaupload of all culture. we have the technology, but not the social-political capacity
>If you really need a collision resistant hash you need to use a cryptographic hash function, but outside of cryptographic applications that is rarely the requirement.

There are reasons to use (strongly) collision resistant hashes outside of cryptographic settings. E.g., the default Rust hash function, used in hash maps and sets, has strong collision resistance, because otherwise you could open up applications to DoS attacks (the attacker uses lots of inserts with collisions to kill performance of accesses and further inserts at those buckets).[0]

>I'm not sure what security properties are really "proven" about existing cryptographic hash functions, AFAIK existing cryptographic hash functions are considered secure because we don't know how to break them, not because of some fundamental mathematical property about them.

There are provably secure hash functions[1] (typically using the same sort of primitives as public key crypto), but they're generally only used when certain properties need to be composed, and are often less secure than the non-provable ones in practice anyway. This is pretty similar to the state of symmetric vs. asymmetric cryptography in general: primitives like RSA, DH, etc. have much stronger proofs than AES, but algorithms built using AES for security are generally viewed as a lot less likely to be broken any time soon than algorithms built using typical asymmetric primitives for security, even ignoring things like quantum advantage.

Here's a snippet of HTML from Facebook advert https://imgur.com/Wx8rIOm.png

Just for "Hydrow <blue_checkmark> Sponsored" is the following HTML

Also, attempting to highlight "sponsored" also jumps back and forth because their scripts basically jigsaw the letters together from bits. And, almost all of their content on pages look like this. My guess is to jam up adblockers. But it also screws over anybody with visual difficulties (reduction of visibility to blindness).
And scaring those corps into buying instead of complying was explicitly the author’s reason[1] for choosing AGPL instead of GPL even though there was no expectation the difference would ever actually matter.

I remember an SFC blog post[2] expressing distaste for such scare-tactics applications of copyleft on the part of MySQL AB in the early 2000s. (As opposed to the initial goal of copyleft, that is using a legal hack to eventually force most software to become free/libre.) This case is maybe less unpleasant, but only marginally so, I think.

Run a separate db instance for each customer. With virtualization you can run many instances on the same physical machine. Depending on the tech stack all instances can be light weight. We did this in the early 2000 and our code was slow and machines even slower, but we could still scale to over 1k instances cheaply by spreading them out between different machines and used DNS for "routing" and its faster then todays centralized services.

Hackintosh plus few generations old iphone is not expensive.
I don't think this is an axiom. Apple having a business unit performing under expectations though still profitable may be a win for buyers because they're well capitalized to shave margins to move more units.

A struggling business that isn't well capitalized can't do the same thing, and that is way more typical

1. Moral agency: Humans can reason morally, and (at least in theory) strive to act morally. Lions are not capable of that (afaik)

2. Necessity: Lions have no supermarkets. 95% of the people reading this can most definitely go vegan (and 99% vegetarian). Just like how self defense and murder are different.

3. Non-existence: 99% of the animals we slaughter we also artificially bred into existence. It's a false equivalence, because those animals wouldn't even exist

4. Practicality: Regulating wild animal feeding behaviour would be stupendously difficult. A vegan world on the other hand is not just possible, but also better for everyone. In zoos, where we can control "wild" animals, we already reduce suffering by not feeding live prey.

This is conflating a real problem with an artificial problem.

Sao Paolo and Shanghai have people packed like sardines. On the other hand, all 3 of SF, Vancouver and LA collapse into sprawl the second you leave the city core. This sounds like a guy who worries about suddenly becoming too jacked on their first day at the gym.
