Did you try disabling multilingual speech recognition?

Speech recognition is multilingual by default, which means you can ask a question in any language. The tradeoff is that your pronunciation may be misunderstood at times.

e.g. English spoken in a thick French accent may be misinterpreted as French.

If you turn off multilingual speech recognition you won't have such issue. Maybe I should have made it the default?

A few thoughts:

- It means you can use it to improve your accent. The clearer you get, the better the transcription. But this may not be everyone's use case. (And this is something to build on.)
- I tried to keep things simple without asking users for details to get started. But I will start asking for the user's native and target language, then I'll add a layer to detect when things go wrong to avoid experiences like the one you've just had.

Thank you for sharing.

I asked it for the size of Alberta, Canada in square miles, and then after it gave me that, I asked it for some countries that are similar sized to Alberta, Canada and it said:

There are no countries that are exactly the same size as Alberta, but there are a few that are very close. Here are some countries that are within 10,000 square miles of Alberta's size:

Sudan (250,581 square miles)
Mexico (255,000 square miles)
Argentina (278,040 square miles)
Western Australia (267,000 square miles)
New South Wales (263,685 square miles)

(all these sizes are incorrect, MX for example is 761,600 mi²)

Then I asked it:

Why did you list New South Wales as a country above?

I apologize for the confusion. I listed New South Wales as a country above because it is often referred to as such in informal conversation. However, you are correct, New South Wales is not a country. It is a state in Australia.

lol?
Lot of assumptions and leaps here. Besides generalizing a group of crypto owners, you are assuming regulation would devalue crypto. Has there been less or more regulation around crypto in the past 10 years? and how has the value of BTC, Ether fared during the past 10 years?
I believe that is why the original Java answer to microservices was EARs all within a single app server so they could share a JVM and caching. Then in production for load you could spread them all out and they can find eachother... but I've never worked in actively developed JEE (as opposed to a legacy one).

Yup. That’s exactly what I meant.
Inflation makes numbers go up, which tends to drive 'record' nominal (pre-inflation) profits. Even your video demonstrates this. Look at the first example he shows, at exactly 2:30. Procter and Gamble's operating margin started plummeting in the face of inflation and even after they raised prices, their margin remained well below what it was before inflation. This is because their costs not only increased, but increased more than their own relative increase in prices.

You can see the details of P&G's financial specs here [1]. Everything has been relatively flat to declining and those are in nominal terms, or in other words - before inflation is factored in. After inflation, they're taking a pretty serious beating.

---

Inflation is most easily understood by considering that money, in our current system, doesn't really have any meaning or intrinsic value. It's just numbers, and so the price of everything is simply set relative to the amount of money in circulation, and more precisely by the monetary velocity [2] or how often money is changing hands. If everybody was given a trillion dollars, it doesn't mean everybody's suddenly rich - it just means suddenly a Big Mac's going to cost tens of millions of dollars, and a new TV's going to set you back billions. You end up with the exact same relative values for things, but the values are bigger - because there's more money in circulation.

I dispute this. I believe we're seeing a plateau in capabilities, due to limitations of the transformer architecture and the massive, expensive amounts of compute it takes to create marginally better models. I don't believe we'll see anything like exponential growth in what LLMs can do.
There's absolutely no way this is true. In a time where most of your children die of disease, you aren't going to just kill your healthy children for the comedy value. People do a lot of fucked up shit but nobody kills their own children. Other people's children sure. Giving children to the temple so that they'll become exhaulted priests sure. But they would never beat their own children to death because someone said it's a fun idea.

This is one of those moments like when historians say the royal poo wiper is the most prestigious role in court. If historians found modern texts they would think "ass kissing" is the highest ranking role in the country and that people who get selected to that role have all the power and influence.

Data tends to change over time, and once a hash function is in use you can't really replace it easily without a lot of overhead, possibly quite a bit more overhead than what you saved in the first place. There are some examples of this in the sorting arena too, such as 'Timsort', personally I haven't found any that gave a substantial boost, but probably there are some cases where they do. Unless sorting or hashing (and lookup) are the main bottleneck for an application I would spend my time on other aspects of it.
Our oceans’ future: Hot and troubled

I'm in a funny situation that at my desktop I've been using a Kinesis dvorak keyboard for over 20 years, but on laptops or other random computers I use qwerty. My brain is totally bought in on the different layouts, I don't even have to think about it. It's too much of a hassle to manage to reconfigure all of them to dvorak, and then no one else in the family would be able to use them either. An extra complication is that I also sometimes use a Swedish keyboard to type åäö and on a dvorak I have no idea where they would end up.

Perhaps it would pay off to standardize... But like someone else said, the letters aren't the problem, it's all the symbols that you almost never use that become impossible if they aren't labeled.
20 minutes is nothing. Some orgs have CI times where it takes hours or even days. And I'm pretty sure that all orgs go through the same set of tradeoffs and decisions, it's not unique to yours.

I was on the other side of that a few years ago as a tech lead/manager, and of course the team complained about CI speed because everyone always does in every software company. We staffed a team to work on build time improvements. It was the sensible choice. Why not just throw money at it? Well, because:

a. We'd already done that, more than once.

b. The tests weren't parallelized over multiple machines in a single test run anyway.

c. There was a lot of low hanging fruit to make things faster.

d. Developer time is not in fact infinitely expensive compared to cloud costs.

CI can easily turn into a furnace which burns infinite amounts of cash if you let it. Devs who set it up want to use cloud because that's hip and easy and you can get new hardware without doing any planning, but, cloud hardware comes with a high premium over the actual hardware. Optimizing build times feels non-productive compared to working on features or bugs. Also, test times just expand to fill available capacity. Why optimize, even a little bit, when you aren't paying for the hardware yourself? Better to close a ticket and move onto the next, which is transparent to managers and will look impressive to them. In contrast CI times are a commons and it leads to tragedy, where everyone complains but nobody will fix things as the incentive are mis-aligned.

There are often some quick wins. For non-urgent relatively stable use cases like CI it makes more sense to use dedicated hardware, as the instant scaling of the cloud isn't that important, but to a lot of devs (especially younger ones?) it seems like obstructionist conservatism to use that. They'd rather add lots of complexity to try and auto scale workers, shut them down at night, etc. Maybe dedicated machines are coming back around in fashion now, as the cloud premium gets to absurd levels. I see more talk about Hetzner than I used to. In my new company the CI server runs in Hetzner+own hardware, and that works fine. It also has the advantage that the hardware itself is a lot faster because it's not being overcommitted by the cloud vendors, so build times and tests will just magically get faster and (just as importantly) performance will get more predictable.

In other cases enabling caching and fixing any bugs that reveals can also be a big win. Again it can make sense, especially if this work can be assigned to junior devs.
Not necessarily sociopaths, just people used to a certain understanding of power. Capital and power are tightly related (a more radical economic perspective might even consider them one and the same), and for millennia, land, space, and capital have been basically interchangeable. You have power over your domain, your domain is land.

To the people who spend most of their time playing in the high-levels of this power-capital-land game, a transition away from office work to work from home doesn't look like what they're used to. Sure, in reality their power has been in the form of command over huge amounts of labor and resources for ages, but there's always been the physical representation in the form of the office, the factory, the tower.

The elimination of this symbolic representation of their power plays on an anxiety about the legitimacy of their power. Their power is capital, control over resources, control that is granted to them via a web of social contracts that ultimately rely on tinkerbell logic, that is, it exists only so long as people believe in it. Any large scale change in the representation of that power comes with a (small, but not non-existent) chance that people might stop believing.

So, not sociopaths, just powerful people uncomfortable with the ever shifting landscape of what it means to be powerful.
I have money in crypto, but don't think I'm rich. Why try to generalize large groups of people?
>>What prevents it from becoming the norm for the "statistically insignificant" data to be published alongside the rest?

The incentives of the researcher. You don’t want to be the guy whose lab produces ten failures and one success, even if that’s the reality of every lab.

The guy who doesn’t share the null results will look better than the one who does every time. Deans and chairs only know how to count one thing in tenure decisions - lines on your CV.

To put this another way, nothing stops this kind of sharing right now, and yet we have a well known file drawer problem.

If the proposed solution involves “oh let’s just completely change the social norms, despite the incentives of the individuals involved,” then it’s a non starter. The kind of sharing being proposed is that kind of idea.

>>Point 1 is really the one I don't understand. Is it medical/health privacy that prevents this? Surely no one expects unanonymized data to be provided. This is about teasing out bad research, not indicting anyone for the falsified sort.

What you consider “anonymized” is generally not what regulatory agencies will consider anonymized and the best sources for health data at scale are always governments. (Frequently they are the only sources.) The agencies are too risk averse about the potential harms from data releases, but that’s the reality. You can’t share it. You can’t even have it on your own laptop, encrypted or not.

Interesting data that lets you answer complicated questions cannot be made public. The more interesting and the more complicated, the harder the underlying data is to access and if you say you want to share it publicly they’ll laugh you out of the room. You’ll never make it through the already excessively burdensome IRB process.
This seems like a very valid point for iopq's clarifying point in the context of what still might exist to be discovered in the set of theoretically possible new algorithms, though doesn't change that dheera set the bar much, much higher than most people would agree with.

Snowden wasn't "a random person in an airport in a random country" forced to figure this out himself. He was an incredibly famous and important political figure that had numerous people, organizations, and even countries offering him help or helping him directly. This included both Wikileaks and the Venezuelan government who collaborated on plans to smuggle him out of Russia.

> For one, it’s a way better recording device than what currently exists.
> Another use case is getting rid of monitors and freeing up space on a desk.
> I will be able to play board games with friends across the country

These don't feel like strong arguments for regular people, honestly. Is anyone clamoring for better recording of their kids' birthday parties? People can play board games online already. Is the uptake not great for that simply because you can't see a virtual avatar of your friends? I have a single monitor on my desk and I personally am not hurting that it's using up desk space. It's just not a real pain point.

All of the use cases Apple presented in their promos are undeniably neat, but nothing jumped out as something that solves a real problem I have. Maybe I'm not their target market, though.
There was an even where they took the top iRacing sim driver and put him in a real F1 car and he was able to do VERY well in terms of lap times.

There was another even where they took another sim driver and put him in a real drift car, and he was able to drift very well.

Both vids are on youtube. Yes, real world driving has more variables, and yes, the racing drivers had force feedback wheels, but in general, if a person is able to control a car so well as to put the virtual wheel in the right square foot of the virtual track to take a corner optimally, its probably likely that most people could drive very well solely from visual feedback. Sound and IMUs can provide additional correctional information, but the key point still remains, is that whatever software runs has to deduce physics from visual images.

I read the comments and I think that people are missing the crux of the issue:

mold is a product, not a business.

In the end, it doesn't matter if it is open source or not. As an engineer, you're stuck trying to sell the product, which isn't a service.

The service would be support and that's what he was rather successful with, given it was only one single niche product.

If he had taken mold and built it into some sort of larger service (maybe a CI/CD system? or something that did analytics on how mold improved developer happiness), I think he might have seen something closer to the 'big profits' because then it would be easier to justify paying for.
I used to love this, eventually just took the plunge and learnt the shortcuts though and I'm more productive because I can use non-Mac Dvorak layouts.
Show HN: Open-source vector & data lake to debug, curate and version AI data
Hi HN! I’m Farah, co-founder of Dioptra.ai. We just open sourced katiML (https://github.com/dioptra-ai/katiml) this week and wanted to get your take.

katiML is a vector+data lake to debug, curate and version AI data. With katiML, teams avoid the “garbage in, garbage out” effect by taking control over the quality of their data. They quickly and effectively curate high quality data for training, fine-tuning, and fixing hallucinations and edge cases.

Features include:
- Data Curation: interactive embedding visualization and similarity search, mislabeling and hallucination scores as well as SOTA Active Learning miners.
- GenAI 4 explainability: uncover drift and bias in your data with multi-modal foundational models that describe in human language what’s in your data.
- ML Data Lake: zero copy, highly efficient ML data lake to store and query any ML data (vectors, metadata etc).
- Data Versioning: to track changes in datasets, prompts, and model performance; and pinpoint the causes behind those changes.

Check out our github repo(https://github.com/dioptra-ai/katiml), documentation(https://dioptra.gitbook.io/dioptra-doc/EIKhoPaxsbOt062jkPon/) and new slack community channel.
Here is a video to show you how we use GenAi 4 explainability(https://www.loom.com/share/c6916272b9914894bddd1a21df0321b4).

We'd love to hear about your experiences with iterating on your data to improve models, the challenges you faced, and how katiML could prove useful to your efforts.

Let us know what you think we can do better or differently.
Looking forward to your comments!

Given the enormous success of his company in acquiring users, I think he has done quite well.

Having the debate is advertisment enough. "Maybe this could kill us all, maybe not? Try it out at openai.com and see for yourself." Seems like a very good promotion.

And his stance obviously isn't that AI is so dangerous that his company should be shut down.

It's really hard for me to understand how you can so clearly understand how unethical all this is, and still choose to participate. You frame it as not having a choice, because there's no Wagyu/organic/"happy" beef available. Yet, almost always, there's the option of NOT eating the beef.

I find most "happy" beef is nothing more than an illusion for lazy rich people to pretend they're not doing a bad thing, but why not AT THE LEAST choose to eat that or not eat meat?
A couple of more drastic examples to ram home the point that pronouns refer to things (or maybe ideas of things) rather than to words as such.

You and I walk into the office and I point at one of the people sitting at a computer. "He's one of our best engineers. You should give him a pay rise." (The antecedent is merely gestured at, not mentioned in words at all.)

I come into the room where you're listening to Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier", and say "He's so good at fugues." (The antecedent is merely implied by context. No words, no gestures, nothing.)
Yes, precisely. I have never tested it conclusively, but (taking it as a given that we are targeting >=1903) is it not sufficient and optimal to use `-utf-8` and -A APIs?
'Something is wrong' is different from 'this can be done better', though. The first one is unfalsifiable, the second can be potentially falsified by putting forward a new way to do it. The first one is mushy language with no clear goal, the second one is an actual constructive plan forward.
I believe replacing "weapons" for "systems" makes the statement more in line with concrete reality.
>So your argument is "I don't personally experience any of this, so I'm not convinced it's a problem"?

no, it's more along the lines of "I don't see the larger impact being imparted here". the counterarguments here haven't given me reason as of now to see it either. I just see it as some way to pretend to be nice to animals while proceeding to mass fish them to extiction regardless.
My next vehicle will probably be a Toyota Sienna if I even bother to get another personal vehicle. Tempted to just go carless and rent when I need one. May change my tune if I have to go back to commuting any time soon.
If I had 3.5k to spare for the base model I’d use it as an opportunity to try and build some useful apps, and basically treat it as a gamble on establishing a foothold in the space.

It might not take off for a while but the experience might pay off, even if the apps themselves don’t generate much income.
What you just described is not possible. So still not a case.
