My original statement was wanting a translator device, hardware or software, so I could understand and learn better.

There was not desire for identity erasure or homogenization, leave whoever's voice the way it is online, give me an option to translate it. I added more about my issue downthread.

Diverse accents across the country. - absolutely! which is why I said 'no accent am-english.' (for me, as I can't learn well outside that) - and assuming if this tech exists it could help me, and perhaps be tweaked to change to other accents for other people.. also mentioned in downthread reply.
Just a layman but whenever I read that, I interpret it as "particles exhibiting quantum phenomena", like superposition or entanglement.

This would be unlike classical particles which does not exhibit these effects.

I’m not going to say that it is the common method, but I’ve seen what parent describes for multiple people. I’ll be the first to admit that I probably live in an upper middle class bubble these days, but it certainly happens.

OTOH, I’ve known people that live in a trailer and had a Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was worth more than the trailer. So one doesn’t have to reach terribly far to find someone that is living their priorities. Just because you aren’t willing to work odd jobs and live in a van to finance your badminton career doesn’t mean others aren’t.

Seems to be right, but as far as I can tell almost nobody uses this terminology and it's pretty rude of the article not to explain.

It doesn't "doze all the time" here, seems like you're blaming Signal when it's your phone's power management software not working as described.

The only people I know that have this kind of issue with Signal are all on Huawei phones, we've configured them and it's worked for a while but Huawei only seem to care about letting Facebook/Whatsapp/Teitter/etc.. run properly.

Call me a skeptic, but saying you're "very closely tied" sounds to me like he's getting paid to be their spokesperson and nothing more. It's not like he said he's a cofounder, investor, executive, designer, or any other real role in the company, he's just "very closely tied"

Honestly doesn't feel like much more than a celebrity endorsement.

Seems interesting. But how is this different than using JSON functions with SQLite?

https://www.sqlite.org/json1.html
Ed Viesturs' biography, "No Shortcuts to the Top", covers this well - you can see how he saves money, works various jobs, and pursues sponsorships to fund his Everest, K2, and other big-mountain expeditions.

He'd get a trip all organized, then it will be aborted mid-climb due to weather or other issues, and he'd have to start all over again and take a few years until he can try again.

It's also just a good read if you're interested in the topic.
> The problem I've seen with this idea is that in order for it to work, you have to be willing to add more metadata to your program, because programs themselves don't have the necessary data in them. You can make it mandatory to your language, but than just raises the friction for people trying to use that language.

I'm confused by what you mean. Can you be more specific as to what sort of metadata that has to be embedded in the code would be needed?

I've never used it, but watching this Smalltalk-80 IDE demonstration seems like it could be a workable idea.

I'm baffled that we don't spend more time trying to understand sentience on earth. There's so much of it, it's so clearly intelligent, and it would be so useful for SETI etc.

But for some reason there's a bias towards assuming that "intelligent" means "can do differential equations" - which doesn't even apply to most humans.
That's hilarious, though it also demonstrates the AI Safety problem in another way - If true, Sam made a stupid mistake in assuming he could lie/fudge/exaggerate each board member's position to the others and that they wouldn't eventually talk amongst themselves and compare notes. That suggests he's either really not that smart, or he's overconfident and sloppy.

An AGI, or especially an ASI, would presumably avoid such easily-detectable mistakes. Things just start happening and seemingly disconnected events steer reality in a particular direction, and there is no way to concretely link them or discern their true provenance.

This is already exactly the problem with the most sophisticated disinformation campaigns run by the FSB/IRA/etc. It appears random, grassroots, and uncoordinated, and is difficult or impossible to discern its true provenance. But it all operates across a shared a set of objectives - increase social divisions, decrease trust in democracy and democratic institutions, and/or increase general irrationality and emotional response among the public.

If humans can already accomplish that, imagine what an ASI could do.

I couldn't find the actual patent in a quick search, but the odds are extremely high that the patent isn't as general as it sounds. The title of the patent isn't relevant, it's the actual claims in the patent that matter. Odds are, those claims are for something pretty specific, like a special interconnect or something, not for the concept of extended battery packs.

But hey, you never know. The patent office has approved bad patents before. It's not impossible that this is an patent office error.

We've spent a long time profiting from slavery in this country and more recently we've patted ourselves on the back for ending slavery while in reality we simply outsourced it and moved the slave plantations out of sight.

We're a small team of repeat founders and seasoned operators on a big mission to simplify planet-positive investing and put power in the hands of impact investors at a scale never seen before. The next generation of tools we are building use AI to interact with the world of sustainability data (large language models like ChatGPT). This is a highly specialist crew with a decade or more of relevant experience in the domains of machine learning and climate finance.

Some of the companies we started, (e.g. Secondmind), scaled to 100+ people and millions in revenue, published extensively in key academic journals in machine learning, and won national awards. We also have extensive industry networks, published works, and numerous advisory and working group seats in climate and sustainable finance.

We're looking for people to play a foundational role on this big mission:

- Mid-Senior Backend Engineer (Python)
- (Research) ML Engineer (LLMs)
- Others (opportunistic, including internships)

We have raised our pre-seed round from top European climate-focused investors (Pale Blue Dot & Frontline Ventures) and we have only just publicly announced the company in September! We've always built high-performing teams where everyone is excited to come to work for the team and to make an impact on the mission. Further details are available on our Notion job page (link at the start) and our website!

I'm the CEO and co-founder — if interested, drop me an email (aleksi@) or email our jobs email (jobs@). It'll come to me either way! :)
> Oompa-Loompas were literal slaves form Africa

I can find a lot of stuff written online about this, but none of it quotes the original text.

The original oompa-loompas were pygmies from Africa, written in a pretty racist way, and with wonka being a type of white-messiah-savior for them. I can definitely see an argument that wonka was a shitty employer, violating all sorts of legal and moral rules. But we're they actual slaves? From what I have been able to find they were paid, but chose to take payments in cocoa. Were they forced to work and imprisoned?

I guess I would like to see the original text, as all the articles written on the subject make proclamations of them being actual slaves, but don't show anything from the original text (or make the argument) to demonstrate they were actually slaves.

One such article:
https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/170755
Currently, it does not. But it is written in C with a reasonable separation between the OS things and the compiler things, so compiling with Emscripten should be possible without too much modification.

This is similar to what the Onyx Playground currently does. To do that I just POST your project files to a server, save everything to disk, run the compiler, delete everything, and send the resulting WASM file back to the browser, to be run in a WebWorker.
This ranks right up there with Hillary/Norgay first Everest summit and Alex Honnold's free-solo climb of El Capitan. Amazing feat, guys! Well done.
> When linking, I find the libraries on disk, load them, call a function in each dynamic library that returns a list of procedures that can be used when linking. This external linking enables Onyx to use any native C library, from Raylib and OpenGL, to PostgresQL and OpenSSL.

This is really cool. I wonder if there is any overhead using native libraries from wasm like this. My intuition says it does similar to node-ffi and JNI but I hope it's not as bad.

Are you kidding? How does someone go about obtaining skills? Education is expensive, even trade school. Not having to worry about living expenses or being one unforeseen major expense sinking you gives you huge leg up on obtaining skills.

Sure you can work from an entry-level job all the up to the top. How many people can do this? Meanwhile if your parents pay for you Ivy League education you walk your way in to a well-paying job.

Being poor is a disadvantage and to pretend like it isn’t is to literally deny reality. It impacts literally every aspect of your life in negative ways. Terrible food is cheaper. Healthcare is expensive. Meeting your basic needs as a human is an incredibly taxing process when you’re living paycheck to paycheck and trying to support yourself.

I’m not saying “Abolish the rich” even. But the kind of transfer of generational wealth we have now is a detriment to society.

We let the rich have and keep more of their money than ever before. The wealth gap isn’t a gap anymore, it’s an abyss that you couldn’t ever hope to see the bottom of.
I tried to do Japanese -> English for multiple audio snippets using the Seamless huggingface demo and all of them output complete gibberish.

Its a dumb take. We get a lot of them. I’m old enough to remember Martin Luther King’s assassination. I really felt like things were normalizing in the ‘90s.

I'm working on something similar for the JVM, however with no document semantics, but on a much more fine granular level.

JSON is shredded during an initial import into a tree structure with fine granular nodes. Thus, an import can be done with very low memory consumption (permitted that auto-commit issues a sync to disk before RAM space is exceeded). Furthermore, it doesn't require a WAL for consistency. Instead the indexes are stored in a log-structure using a persistent tree (as in every commit creates a new tree root). A sliding snapshot algorithm makes sure, that only a fragment of a page has to be copied on a write.

As thus, it's also a perfect candidate for an event store, storing both the (lightweight) snapshots and tracking the changes optionally.

I'd put this at Nobel prize level of achievement for the climbing world. Lifetime of effort plus unique talent, drive, focus. Whereas climbing Everest via the standard tourist route might be like passing an undergrad calc exam (few months of effort with someone teaching you, 80% of people could do it).

Not sure if you'd say "a lot of regular humans" have a Nobel. There are a lot of laureates out there, but I mean are they regular guys?

This article is about Mars. But in 2021, Nestle and Cargill were involved in a Supreme Court case, where it was decided that the Alien Torts act could not used to bring suit by plaintiff who allege they were child slaves, trafficked from Mali to the Ivory Coast, forced to work, beaten, threatened, and not paid. The legal argument was not "we don't have child slave labor in our supply chain, even in areas where we are the only buyers" but just "irrespective of whether we're buying the products of child slave labor, we cannot be sued for it." My belief now is that most cocoa from the large, cheap sources is not produced with ethical labor.

Eww, people of warm climates...

You try making a few calls in -15C 5 m/s wind (typical 55 latitude continental climate weather in winter), then see the charge bar plummeting to zero when you attempt to call up a taxi so that you don't freeze to death.

About only thing you can do at that point is shove the phone into your panties to heat it back up and then hope what's left of the charge is enough and it doesn't refreeze while you're at it.

No, lithiums don't work much below 0C. Balloon payloads use insulation and heaters, but that obviously eats into energy available.
