In an era where technology is constantly evolving, there's an exciting development that's changing the way we interact with artificial intelligence - Voice ChatGPT. Unlike its text-based predecessor, Voice ChatGPT allows for dynamic and engaging conversations through spoken language. Here, I’ll delve into the world of Voice ChatGPT, exploring its capabilities and the impact it's having on various industries.

## Understanding Voice ChatGPT

Voice ChatGPT is an extension of the renowned GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) model, but with a unique twist - it understands and generates human-like responses in spoken language. Developed by OpenAI, Voice ChatGPT combines the power of natural language processing with voice recognition, creating an AI that can hold realistic conversations with users.

## The Role of Voice Assistants and Chatbots

Voice ChatGPT plays a crucial role in the development of voice-activated virtual assistants and chatbots. These intelligent entities are becoming ubiquitous in our lives, from our smartphones and smart speakers to our cars and even appliances. Voice ChatGPT's ability to understand and respond to voice commands makes these assistants more versatile and user-friendly.

## The Technology Behind Voice ChatGPT

Behind the scenes, Voice ChatGPT relies on advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques. It leverages vast amounts of data to train its model, enabling it to comprehend context, syntax, and semantics in spoken language. This technology enables it to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses, making interactions feel more human.

## Enhancing User Interfaces with Voice

Voice ChatGPT is also contributing to the evolution of voice user interfaces (VUI). These interfaces rely on voice commands and responses, making them ideal for hands-free interactions. Whether it's controlling smart home devices, searching the web, or even playing games, Voice ChatGPT is at the forefront of making VUIs more intuitive and efficient.

## Applications in Customer Service

The impact of Voice ChatGPT extends to the world of customer service. Call centers and support hotlines are increasingly turning to AI-driven voice bots to assist customers. Voice ChatGPT can provide consistent, 24/7 support, answer frequently asked questions, and even handle complex inquiries, improving the overall customer experience.

## Ethical Considerations and Privacy

As with any AI technology, there are ethical considerations and privacy concerns associated with Voice ChatGPT. These include issues related to data security, misinformation, and the potential for misuse. It's crucial for developers and organizations to address these concerns while harnessing the power of Voice ChatGPT.

## The Future of Voice ChatGPT

Looking ahead, Voice ChatGPT is poised for significant advancements. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more realistic and context-aware interactions with AI. The potential use cases are vast, ranging from education and healthcare to entertainment and beyond.
I like Carmack but is it really necessary to have a post about everytime he mentions AI (which is every week for the past year)? So far, his track record in AI research is non-existent.

This was ages ago. I try not to hold onto old corporate emails. And agree not to. I've honestly had mixed feelings about it given that some people probably got their door kicked in. In fairness to me they were DDoS'ing my customers. The CIDR blocks were part of a DDoS for hire farm.
But there are a lot of selection mechanisms that filter out the bad generated content. For one, people will publish a fraction of the content they generate, and it most likely will go through some more editing and selection steps by real people. Then the Internet itself becomes like a decentralized labeling service, where there are various signals you could detect to identify different qualities of content. What ends up being crawled for the next training iteration is a societally processed version of the raw model output that might have contributed to generating it.

It's kind of interesting to think we might all be contributing to the training data of AGI not just through generating content but also what we choose to share or upvote.

pg_dump [0] (or pg_dumpall, linked there) sounds like what you want to use. You could docker exec into the postgres container, then copy the dump from the volume to your backup location on the host.

A bit more contrived than copying the volume but you don't need to shut down the server. There's probably some scripts out there for doing this in a structured way but I usually do it more or less manually/use a bash script.

Performance wise we find Firefox approximately halves the performance sadly, mostly in the speed of execution of the JS code. Both Safari and Chromium based browsers perform significantly better. Games really expose the differences in the various engine implementations because they rely on executing a lot of code all the time. That said we have an enormous amount of head room to optimise the engine so will make progress so it’s less of an issue.

And culture is driven by marketing. Which comes right back to the point I was making.

If gun culture was so fundamental to peoples beliefs then the NRA wouldn’t need to spend as much on lobbying as they do. The entire reason that culture hasn’t changed in the last hundred years is because of marketing, not in spite of it.

In some countries like Germany, the government still communicates with its citizens by snail mail. Important documents are usually physical there. They are one of the least developed countries in Europe with digitalization, they are far behind.
That's mostly an urban legend and the vast majority of such cases happen when the parent is not sober and essentially knocked out unconscious.

> That's the part that isn't a problem. If you had an existing image with an existing signature, you could modify it and store the changes as a diff against the original.

I think this glosses over things a little bit. Are you going to transmit the original and the diff to every image viewer? People are talking about doing these checks on clientside devices, not just having an attestation check somewhere else.

Ultimately the only way you can check this is to give someone the original and the signature to compare. Want to blur or censor a face? Tough. Want to crop? Tough. And the person doing that verification would want to be able to look at the photograph to tell how extensive your edits were.

Technically what you're saying is true in that you could do diffs this way, but in practice you'd have to commit to publishing the pre-edit photo. We're also suddenly no longer talking about a behind-the-scenes process that just puts a little green check on the photo or something; because edits can be anything and only the original photo would be signed; so the "verification" in your image editor would now be a software stack that shows you the original photo alongside the edits I guess?

----

> The problem continues to be how to create such a signature to begin with, without depriving the user of control over their own property or leaving the keys inside of devices that are in the physical possession of every attacker in the world.

I'm quibbling though, I think we're mostly in agreement. This is the DRM aspect that people seem to be forgetting. Commentary about attestation is not making the obvious and direct comparison that controlling device behavior is already something companies are trying to do and failing at.

That was also my experience as last as last year. However, something has changed. I suspect a combination of factors have depressed the market - my top two guesses are massive layoffs of highly skilled FAANG candidates, and uncertainty about the value of tech skills in general in the age of cheap AIs. The market seems to be recovering as the laid off workers either reabsorb or move on to other things, and the limitations of AI become clear.

Collection literals are a pointless extension of the pattern matching syntax added to get around the fact that there is no way to name a generic type in C# without specifying its type arguments.

It's yet another double down on object initializers instead of writing constructors and factories, and unlike using a factory you have to fully express the result type of the collection instead of having it inferred (they are "target typed", another feature that probably should not have been added).
This seems a bit confusing. It highlights all the external hits, with no internal hits shown, then worries about IoT devices internally.

The top line numbers are so cooked. We are losing full time jobs in well paying sectors and adding part time jobs in hospitality. That’s not the big win that it seems.

To be fair, I rarely write more than a sentence or two in serial form, and I have often determined the point of a sentence before I write the first few words.

Occasionally the act of writing out an idea in words clarifies or changes my mind about that idea, causing me to edit or rewrite what I’ve already written.

When heat records that stood for a century are now broken every year, it’s a clear indication that something is going on. And it’s clearly a problem. Heat being so high to beat the record is unequivocally a problem.

Anyways, it’s not like those that “tune out” when you point out heat records are being broken every year would listen if you gave them truly scientific arguments.

> the contract with that customer is among our largest

At the end of the day you are presumably doing all of this to turn a profit. Not to uphold some arbitrary ideology regarding what a perfect product and perfect customer should look like.

We used to look at "custom" code like some kind of awful thing (aka avoid on principle at any cost to us). At the financial scale we were operating at, it totally didn't make sense. However, as we started to gain traction and bigger customers started looking, the notion of maintaining a code pile per client started to make more sense. We even have some prospects with their own development staff who would be interested in assuming full ownership of product and source once we bootstrap it for them.

My line in the sand is a million dollars annually, with a term no shorter than 3 years. If the customer can afford to pay more than this, then I think custom could be in the cards. Otherwise, I would push them into our standardized product offering. We've got a few prospects in this bucket today, but most are under the standardized offering.

If you squint hard enough, much of SaaS is really just a big consulting package. The software is a shiny distraction to keep everyone participating. We only want to use just the right amount of software. No more, no less. The business can be much easier to change than the code in many cases. Sometimes back office processes completely evaporate when you get 2 employees together who have never met before.
Really good idea for an app. My only wish is that the data was local only. It seems to me that the temptation to monetize this very valuable data will be irresistible. Although it's been normalized over time, there is something very strange about trusting a perfect stranger with arguably some of the most sensitive data of your life. And yet this has become standard, so I think you're on firm ground. But I ask- should this really be firm ground? I think it's up to us technologists to make solutions that do the right thing even when our users don't know what that right thing is.
Good film* cameras had interchangable viewfinder/focus-aids that are just an etched piece of glass in the viewfinder optical path. You'd ideally want to etch crop lines onto one of those.

* And digital SLRs, most of the higher end Canon and Nikon dSLRs can take a replacement viewfinder glass that adds a manual focusing ring or suchlike, they're usually cheap about £30 last I checked (pre-covid), but fiddly to install.
I would say only pop art is appropriation. Because it literally copies a different piece of art to exist. But it also adds a layer on top of it, changes its purpose, which means it starts with appropriation but then becomes interpretation.

AI also doesn't put any meaning into its "art". People argue that an artist's intent is not the main factor in art, but when there is no intent, is it really art? I don't need to know what Warhol meant, but knowing that he did mean something makes it valuable.

It's not just for physical documents. I have payslips which may be useful in the future, but are would be really hard to recover when I leave the company. Any invoices which come to my email. Any bank documents which exist in a vaguely named "account updates" email. And many other things which could be possible to find in the future, but are much better in paperless with appropriate tags and OCR.

But yeah, then there are for example the bank account contract updates which come by physical mail only.

Don't know about your location, but I need to keep the tax related documents for 5 years in case of an audit.
One of the critical observations here for me is: whatever your primary product / value proposition is, make sure to build that out internally yourself, and not buy it from a 3rd party. According to the author, Braid repeatedly bought third party fintech products as core pieces of their platform rather than building it. This simply makes you a hostage to those companies.

I also echo some other top comments here - payments and banking is very highly regulated, and for good reason. The base concept seems extremely ripe for fraud.
Truth-preserving means that it maps T to T. In fact, the Wikipedia's article you link to has Post's theorem about five Post's classes of Boolean functions with all of their definitions: monotonic, affine (which has a funny definition in this article: I was taught the definiton via ANF, "is just a XOR of (some) of variables"), self-dual, truth- and false-preserving. They're all closed but functionally incomplete (in fact, they're functionally pre-complete: adding any single function outside of a class to that class produces a functionally complete set, — and there are no other pre-complete classes).

That's not quite the full story. Since 2000 Opera showed ads if you didn't pay for it, and they removed those in 2005, a good bit before smartphones really started.

In a way they were ahead of the curve, considering how popular ad-based models with optional removal purchases are these days.

> whoever took over the TB vaccine’s development would need to pay GSK to ramp up production, which Breuer estimated would cost around $200 million.

Sounds like supply can be increased. Maybe somebody else can pay for development and manufacture? Doesn’t seem horrible for GSK not to fund an unprofitable(?) drug.
I barely have time to get the laundry done and supposed to do this?
I'd love to but since upgrading to the latest macOS, every chromium-based browser (Brave, Edge, Chrome, etc) gets ERR_CONNECTION_RESET repeatedly on every single network connection until they eventually go through. Some special handling of this makes Edge basically unusable in that it almost never loads, whereas Chrome and Brave will eventually get there. Despite my best efforts in search and posting online, I have yet to find a solution. Firefox works perfectly, but I would like to be able to use Brave again.
Is it considered controversial to say he made great art? I don't know what he is seen as in USA, but many of my circle still play his old albums because they are modern classics. He's not liked as a person but it's hard to deny Kanye's influence and quality.
Researchers and scientists could do a lot with such data. A tyrannical government would find many uses in furtherance of their repressive tactics. Blackmailers can find high profile targets where genetic linkages have been obscured by births out of wedlock, incest, etc… Strange question. Data are valuable, it’s like most of our economy at this point.
It’s AGI. So far everyone’s track record is nonexistent.

Don't look now but the talent pipeline for men in STEM is broken too.

The H1B visa program is part of the issue but the real proof is the employee attrition rate.

The half life of a STEM career in the USA is about 10 years. 10 years from now, about half of today's STEM workers will have been replaced by cheaper production units from both domestic and foreign sources. Some of this is by "choice" (people seeking career longevity and a better work/life balance) but a lot of it is not.

Burn 'em out with long hours and no overtime and then discard them once their economic effectiveness starts to wain. This is standard operating procedure in much of the industry. Real statistics are hard to come by but based on personal experience, few other "careers" can match the attrition rate.

The problem is not that too few people are studying STEM --- it's that too many who do are being discarded. This should be obvious from the start of your "career" in most cases. Just notice how STEM co-workers beyond middle age are a small minority --- and it isn't because the prior generation all got promoted.

Maybe women are just starting to pick up on this. Maybe men should too.
