Just text to speech has gone too far. Audio books would be mainly generated on the fly like this?

I think some RPGs in some 5 years time might have something like this:

- A text file that outlines characters and a lose plot/Story line. Human written.

- 3D Mesh Generation based on character description via Transformers based models. Auto generated.

- Dialogues for each NPC via LLM.

- This TTS engine again based on such models.

Result - almost unlimited replayability. Or even edit text file, have a new world based on a new story line with characters having different personas.

I don't think bamboo is entirely hollow. Doesn't it have solid junks at each "joint" or whatever it's called? That would mean to run wire or something else through them, you'd have to either drill out those parts, which would require a very long drill bit.

Yeah, they definitely need to add some cat6 to the walls of these structures. Ten gig switches are becoming cheap enough, and can provide heat in the winter. Then each individual home can connect to the community center with some buried fiber, plus a 60GHz point to point link for when it floods. The community center can have a few server racks for local media, and a satellite uplink. Wait, what are we talking about again?
CSS seems better? Much less verbose for same effect, doesn't require enabling Javascript. The 'with' selectors do predate jQuery and querySelector, but that was a problem with Javascript and not CSS.
I switched to InvokeAI and won't go back to basic a1111 webui. I like how everything is laid out, there are workflow features, you can easily recall all properties (prompt, model, lora, etc.) used to generate an image, things can be organized into boards, and all off the boards/images/metadata are stored in a very well-designed sqlite database that can be tapped into via DataGrip.

If you lump mobile phones into a single category with desktop computers and laptops, you don't have a strategy. You have Apple Arcade with mobile-only games pretending they are fit for a big screen.

Gaming strategy is what Microsoft had in the 90s early 2000s when they were going full steam ahead with DirectX.

This way of thinking falls apart as soon as the people who are capable of effectively communicating the truth (or at least, gesturing toward evidence that the dominant narrative is being falsified) reach those who are believed to be incapable of comprehending the truth (or at least, the evidence that suggests that the dominant narrative is being falsified).

I would probably plan on leaving a company that chose their cloud stack based on the ex-CEO’s actions. That’s a signal of complete stupidity or at least unpredictable chaos.

But buying or not buying their products based on what they say is not a good way to make decisions. As people will say many things over the years and I don’t want to be changing frequently.

>Summary: The article describes how architect Yasmeen Lari has pioneered the use of bamboo in constructing over 85,000 structures in Pakistan to house those displaced by flooding. Lari found bamboo to be an ideal building material while helping refugees - it is strong, readily available, fast-growing, and can last 50-100 years if properly maintained. She has now set an ambitious goal to construct 1 million new disaster-resistant bamboo homes across Pakistan's flood-prone areas over the next two years. The structures are designed to be easily dismantled and rebuilt when floods hit to provide more permanent housing solutions.
I wish more companies realized your last point.
It most certainly does. Direct quote: "If a flood is coming, homeowners can dismantle the structure’s bamboo skeleton from its permanent foundation and move it to higher ground. Bigger buildings, such as community centers, stand on stilts several feet high."
So it's free, but not open source.

What is the catch?
I'm not sure about that. I suppose it really depends on your interpretation of the results, but I didn't think the cosmic interferometer experiment convinced physicists of retrocausality, by-and-large.

Are you serious?

Lemme try: I expect that as more and more people come to learn that their iphone's auto mode is better than their DSLR's auto mode, we will see more people reaching for cell phones instead of cameras for the important things when they can.
Does this account for all the extra space being created - from what I have understood from "always right" youtube videos - parts of the universe are moving away from us with speed greater than the speed of light (or more precise the space between the points is increasing at rate higher than C, no actual movement is being done)
I'm desensitized to gore, since I remember the cool thing to do was; when me and my cadre of school friends went to rotten.com and looked at large amounts of gore, for the lolz. Then countless movies & games with gore came out over the coming decades and it just doesn't affect me like those first initial exposures. I've learned that screens are not reality.
>Cellphones have been capable of HDR for a very very long time and yet none of those older phones were capable of producing a picture like the one in the article.

I don't think this is true? You can easily get an image like this just by choosing a different keyframe for different areas of the photo when combining the stack of exposures. No AI needed. Nor is there any 'selective erasing'.

You talk about 'detecting the same person found in other photos', which suggests that you're not aware that HDR involves blending a stack of exposures (where the woman may have been in various different poses) that are part of the same 'photo' from the user's point of view (i.e. one press of the shutter button). There is no reason at all to think that the phone is actually scanning through the existing photo library to find other images of the same person. I doubt that would even be computationally feasible, given how quickly the iPhone renders the final image after the photo is taken.

I was watching an interview with Gabe Newell where this question came up and he said at Valve they measured a 25% decrease in productivity due to remote work. In this article it says that WFH is worth 8% increase in pay. So if that holds true for every company, it seems fair to pay 15% more to have workers return to the office. Say for every day an employee works from the office, give them a bonus at the end of the year for an extra 3%.

People bemoan their hour long commutes but if they can do the math and see they’re getting paid an extra $100 or whatever for sitting in traffic and listening to audiobooks, it becomes justifiable.
Thinking about it now yeah thats wild. For bacteria sure, I get it - but for viruses that's really surprising.

Meaning either some animals are 10x their mass from viruses (very unlikely), or there are *way* more tons of viruses just sitting outside of any animal waiting to get a host than there are inside hosts (which is surprising).
It was definitely in the air with players like Snuffy Jenkins. That particular part of North Carolina was full of banjo players and the three finger sound was “in the air” in many different ways at the time. It didn’t serve the Earl Is God hero worship of the time so it didn’t get talked about much in the 50s and 60s but it’s clear he didn’t pick up a banjo and invent everything he did. He perfected it yes, but did not invented it de novo.

So Firebase auth is built on Google Identity Platform.
> > You're safe and comfy and use money

That's the problem, any self respecting man needs some danger in the form of physical harm or the potential of physical harm from the Natural envioronment around.

That's so that the brain can produce those delicious juices once you manage to evade or avoid such harm. If you stay so far away from the harm that you don't even feel it or see it (as a matter of fact you don't even know that it exists), then you don't get the brain juices, hence the crisis of depression, loss of meaning etc.

> > not as if your life would depend on it

The brain isn't stupid, when you put it in a controlled environment AKA a petting zoo it won't release the brain juices and you are back to square one.

> > Most come out destroyed and appreciating their depressing office jobs.

Maybe because there is a disconnect or a significant time delay between when they sign the contract and when they experience the actual pretend kidnapping. Anyway it's not something that would last because the 2nd or 3rd time around the brain realizes pretty quickly that it's in a petting zoo. Anyway the fact that they are seeking such experiences means that they are at least aware of the office domestication problem and the WFH domestication problem is even more serious!!
I could point out several that are doing that very thing right now.
If you are multilingual but have young children and plan to continue residing in your current English speaking country for the foreseeable future, are you opting to teach your children those additional languages or are you adhering to the idea that they can always learn those languages later if necessary, considering it might not be essential (esp with models like this)?
This article appears to have been written by someone who heard about Apple's chips and, since it was new to them, decided it was actually new.

Respect to Apple, but internal ASIC teams is nothing new in a lot of the tech industry, and I don't mean Google's TMU stuff or the Annapurna team at AWS. Those guys were following a long trend of ASIC teams in companies - e.g., ALL of the networking industry except Arista has been running this way for the last three decades.

I mean, after the 68k era, the _entire Unix workstation market_ - IBM, HP, DEC, SGI, etc. - was entirely built around in-house ASIC teams building their own CPUs.

I find it exciting, but what it really is, at the end of the day, is verticalization so that they don't have _as deep_ of a margin stack on their CPUs. Microsoft and Sony have gotten a series of custom CPUs and GPUs from AMD, Nvidia, etc. over the last twenty years without owning the whole stack or losing the ability to apply optimizations. That's been common forever.

Apple is doing an amazing job. It started with acquiring the PA Semi team and has grown from there, they've been amazing and consistent about it and it's awesome execution and _sticking to the investment profile required_, but .. eh, the article just seems utterly unfamiliar with any broader context.
That makes more sense, thank you for the update.

Also, the longer and thinner the point at the tip of the avocado, the less random the brown spots are. I rely HEAVILY on this to avoid loss, since I buy them 24 at a time when I go to Costco.
> And yet, no organization has come to dominate the world. Why would an AI?

I think the general point is valid (that AI is an intelligent partner rather than Skynet) but organisations do dominate the world, especially the parts of it (including older organisations) that don't employ smart people or newer technologies. There is a view that organisations are a form of slow AI executing complex business / legal processes (traditionally based on people power).

It's not unsprung. The wheel and gear bit are the only unsprung parts; think of it like the motor attaching directly to the wheel bearing, and the wheel is able to move vertically on the bearing.

I think this only works with RWD, because the turning wheels can't be sprung without also having to rotate the springs.

It would be a better suspension (closer to racing suspensions) than standard, because wheels wouldnt toe in/out when they moved down/up. Looks expensive as hell though

Seamless Streaming looks really promising! We just had a new employee start a few months back with profound hearing loss and our company had no idea what to do with him from an accessibility standpoint. They threw out solutions like Dragon, not realizing those solutions are not real-time.

He ended up rolling his own solution by standing up Whisper in one of our clusters and writing a basic front end and API to take his laptop’s mic input and chunk it every few seconds to send to the model and get back text in pseudo-realtime. We got him a pretty beefy Alienware so he wouldn’t be tied to the cluster GPUs. I can’t wait to see what he does with these new models!
