I spent a long time in QA.

Devs that don't test their own code are usually wasting the QA team's time with garbage. It also tends to cultivate (or is a symptom of) an environment where groups are throwing projects over the wall, so to speak, without tightly integrating QA into the process. This wastes significant amounts of time.
The most common case I know of for what looks like misdirection is having one contact with multiple iMessage phone numbers, especially if multiple contacts share one or more of them. Real world example, my wife and I each have both a work iPhone and a personal iPhone. If both are listed in a single contact, iOS will “helpfully” merge the iMessages from both on a sender’s device, but not on the receiver’s. It’s very difficult to tell which device you’re sending to in this case, and can be changed by the other party if they send you a message and you reply. If you didn’t know what was going on, that would look a whole lot like a message going to the wrong device or even recipient in some cases. As a result I literally have separate contacts for my wife to avoid the problem, the UX is otherwise really abysmal.
This has never, ever, happened to me and I have been using iMessage daily since its inception.

I call shenanigans.
It's not to Apple's advantage, though.

JSON patches aren't the most intuitive and kustomize needs some helper tooling to generate them for you (given JSON objects A and B, generate a patch that transforms A into B), but overall the kustomize model makes more sense, and the team behind it seems to be more actively improving developer QoL stuff than Helm is

templates are only good if your templates can remain simple and do not need to expose most of the output fields. my experience developing a chart for wide distribution has been very much that your templates will not remain simple (and will turn into an incomprehensible mess, since you'll need them to handle tasks templates are fundamentally poorly suited for) and that there is always someone, somewhere, that needs some particular resource field exposed in values.yaml. the

> As a result, the number of possibilities for configuration is often unreasonably large and complicated, mimicking the actual resources they want to create, but without any schema validation!

bit from the op is incredibly true. values.yaml grows, over time, to have every field in the objects it generates, just organized differently, without validation, and with extra complicated relationships with other settings

kustomize allowing you to provide a base set of resources that users can apply their own patches to avoids that config surface bloat problem entirely

I don't know enough about this area of research to have an opinion on this particular topic, but I've noticed a trend with this sort of thing with my colleagues. They both claim at different times, depending on whether it benefits them, that

(1) Ideas are a dime a dozen, and making it work or bringing it to fruition, is the important thing

and

(2) The idea is the important thing; the specific implementation by someone doesn't matter, as they're just doing what the idea creator or discoverer laid out for others to follow.

Sometimes I feel like there's a fundamental paradox there that arises a lot in numerous areas of work, business, and economics.

I wouldn't quite go that far, we'll have another chance at the grand tour in another 129 years, and those planetary flybys (and the associated gravity assists) are precisely what gave the Voyagers all that speed to begin with.

Ask HN: What tech stack is OpenAI using to generate its human level voices?
If you've had a chance to play with ChatGPT's recently released human speech synthesis, hopefully you've noticed how incredibly realistic it is. I think its the addition of umms and ahhs and other regular speech patterns that really help to sell it.

Check out the samples from their announcement blog article: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-can-now-see-hear-and-speak

Does anyone have an idea of what tech stack they're using to generate it? They indicate they hired professional voice actors to do the training. What about the software stack?

You must be joking.

Voyager took advantage of a specific alignment of planets that allowed it to make many consecutive gravity assists.
I just shared this story earlier today with my team. This was Cobol insurance claims processing system, shortly before the Y2K issues.

The claims processing system I worked on used a number system that would only go to 4 digits, it would roll over to 0 if we ever processed more than 9999 claims overnight.

Our VP would not listen to us when we said we needed to change that. He said "Claims process fine every night! There is no problem." I had left before they got to that 10,000th claim (thankfully).

That said, anyone need an old COBOL developer?

My gripe with OpenAI right now is that they don't offer the voices on their app through their API. For example, my favorite (Sky) is not available.

Another point about OpenAI's API voices: I don't know if it's intentional, but a couple of them sound more like gender-less if that makes sense. Like you can't tell if it's a male or female voice (somewhere in between) which makes them unrealistic.

I sometimes think about a possible app idea that manages your monthly subscription payments (like Apple Pay but only deals with monthly subscription fees) which allows all the payments to set the same deadline all at once. Not only that, my idea was to have standardized contract and ToS that users find easy to navigate and understand that also allows subscription and cancellation through the app (generate some sort of token to allow you to receive the service immediately), not through the company website you pay for. I believe Apple already does this to an extent in their app store, but I have not seen any app that works for all platforms smoothly. Of course you need to have the subscription service companies to be on board, and maybe that is why it does not exist.

If you don't intend to open source, why not use a term that doesn't mislead prospective users into thinking it's open source?

A few days ago, I discovered the NASA Horizons API, it's amazing! It provides a lot of information about celestial bodies (properties, positions, etc.) for free.

Interested in seeing how the planets were positioned when you were born? You'll find the website in the article to find out!
I don't disagree anywhere but I don't think any of these statements actually condemn Xeon Phi outright. It didn't work at the time, and doing it with so little software support to tile out workloads well was a big & possibly bad gambit, but I'm so unsure we can condemn the architecture. There seems to be so few folks who made good attempts and succeeded or failed & wrote about it.

I tend to think there was tons of untapped potential still on the table. And that a failure to adopt potential isn't purely Intel alone's fault. The story we are commenting on is about the rest-of-industry trying to figure out enduring joint strategies, and much of this is chipmaker provided, but it is also informed and helped by plenty of consumers also pouring energy in to figure out what's working and not, trying to push the bounds.

Agreed that anyone going in thinking Xeon Phi would be viable for running a boring everyday x86 workload was going to be sad. To me the promise seemed clear that existing toolchains & code would work, but it was always clear to me there were a bunch of little punycores & massive SIMD units and that doing anything not SIMD intensive wasn't going to go well at all. But what's the current trend? Intel and AMD are both actively building not punycores but smaller cores, with Sierra Forest and Bergamo. E-cores are the grown up Atom we saw here.

Yes the GPGPU folks were winning. They had a huge head start, were the default option. And Intel was having trouble delivering nodes. So yes, Xeon Phi was getting trounced for real reasons. But they weren't architectural issues! It just means the Xeon Phi premise was becoming increasingly handicapped.

As I said I broadly agree everywhere. Your core point about giving the market more of what it already does is well taken, is a river of wisdom we see again and again. But I do think conservative thinking, iterating along, is dangerous thinking that obstructs us from seeing real value & possibility before us. Maybe Intel could have made a better ML chip than the GPGPU market has gotten for years, had things gone differently; I think the industry could perhaps have been glad they had veered onto a new course, but the barriers to that happening & the slow down in Intel delivery & the difficulty bootstrapping new software were all horrible encumberances which were rightly more than was worth bearing together.

I think launching stuff with nuclear RTGs would probably be met with red tape :(. Even if they are basically impossible to destroy even with a failed launch. I'm sure it will happen again but sadly not as fast or as often as I wish we would.
I think this is kinda technically a win for Beeper. I would've expected another 100% lockout to be Apple's priority. They were instead only able to block 5%, which sounds like a heuristic being applied, and possibly not even an intentional block of Beeper (in the sense that some anti-spam service may be identifying some Beeper users).

They can certainly escalate with protocol changes, but they still have to contend with older Macs, iPhones and iPads which are out of the support window losing access-- so if they want to update the protocol they either have to issue out of band patches for these devices or cut them off too.

This is assuming you can actually iMessage on iDevices that are out of software support -- maybe our iOS friends can let us know.

EDIT: This take seems more plausible (that this is intentional by Apple): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38648030
> It's like if all we remembered about Newton was alchemy.

It’s ironic you say this. Like Freud, and unlike Newton, alchemists did not use scientific methodology. Also like Freud, alchemists get an unfair treatment by modern society, being remembered only for their mistakes. Medieval alchemists developed and refined distillation and crystallization, discovered acids and minerals, and developed metallurgy through the extraction of metals from ore. Just like psychology after Freud, the scientific field of chemistry grew rather naturally out of the advances made in alchemy.
I am interested in tools of this type as well. One I know of is OPM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Process_Methodology
GitHub Unwrapped – Your coding year in review
No. It's too clever by half.
If I remember correctly Voyager benefitted from a particular alignment of the planets to get multiple slingshot boosts from gravity wells.

Part of the appeal of the mission was that it will be a very long time before we could possibly do this again because the planets won't line up correctly and we have no technology to speed the probes up to the velocities that the voyager probes achieved.
> You get particles orbiting the sun

The particles hitting Voyager aren't orbiting the Sun; they're from the Sun, the solar wind. The heliopause is the point where they are stopped by the interstellar medium. That point is what Voyager passed as shown in the graph.

RIP dear friend
As soon as whatever team turned Windows into bloat spyware gets a hold of a project at Microsoft all bets are off. Marketing / Telemetry Driven Development is the bane of good software. They took the lesson of screwing up colossally on Windows 8 and decided to spy on everything to make sure they don't make the same mistake, and with every change that they justify by "more people are joining" I'm inching closer to becoming a Mac / Linux absolutist. If .NET wasn't my bread and butter I'd be on Linux permanently.
They gave Apple authorization to access their phone (the phone is not Apple property) in order to copy certain things into the cloud.

They uploaded new software and downloaded data they were not authorized to download without getting permission first.

I'm sure there is some cover your ass clause in the EULA that tries to protect them when they (accidentally or on purpose) violate the CFAA, but, in this case, they pretty clearly did things that exceeded their authorization.

The relevant part of the CFAA is a.1 (I removed the bits that are irrelevant):

> (a) Whoever—

> (1) having knowingly accessed a computer without authorization or exceeding authorized access, and by means of such conduct having obtained ... restricted data, as defined in ... causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it ...

> It seems a bit entitled behaviour

What's entitled behavior is big tech thinking it can dictate how and where we use technology and services. Why should we be roped into serving Apple's interests and ignoring own own? Beeper can pursue their own interests while benefiting users, that's hardly a negative.

I'm sure if Ford dictated how and where you drove your car you'd be outraged, but we should kowtow to the likes of Apple?
