If they have just 6 people who do all the dubs, those people aren't bad at it.

But they will be good at it not in the way you like, but the way producers like - do everything acceptably in one take etc.

Dubbing is a pretty extreme industry, from what I've heard. I used to know someone who had contracts to dub Disney stuff - they had ridiculous (and possibly illegal) contracts with huge penalties for quitting, since Daisy Duck better not start sounding different...

I have also witnessed Norwegian children's TV "dubbed" by a broken nynorsk TTS engine.
> But the market of publishers and recording companies is quite consolidated, because money buys more efficiency there.

Not quite. Publishing/recording depends on specific laws (intellectual property) to disable the competitive-market mechanisms. For example, copyright being extended to 95 years, but there are many other mechanisms surrounding copyrights that have enabled the current monopolies in publishing/recording.
If you increase demand prices go up. Not the sellers fault.
> Honestly, I buy that completely. We've known our tastes change as we get older. I used to hate tomatoes, now I love them.

I used to hate eggs, and now I love them, and I am aware of that change in my taste. The concept that tastes change is not new to me. I also used to love Oreos, and I still do. They do not taste significantly different. Chocolate chip cookies, in general, still taste good to me, especially slightly under-baked ones (which the "Chewy" Chips Ahoy resembled in texture when I enjoyed them as a kid).

The fact that, in current day, I would despise this one type of chocolate chip cookie that I used to like--and also while still enjoying other cookies and chocolate chip cookies, and fully understanding that tastes change--seems to be an absurd scenario compared to the distinct possibility that something changed in the way they make the cookies. Also, considering Kraft (which owned Nabisco which owned Chips Ahoy) split up in 2012, I'd be more surprised if they didn't decide to make changes to some of their recipes.

However, I do remember at one point trying baijiu (白酒), and it ruined the taste of sodas and diet sodas to me for several months. It was an abrupt but temporary change. No idea how that works, but the taste (really the smell) became unbearably similar to baijiu. Kind of want to try baijiu again now that I think about it.
Back in the 2000s I would spend immense amounts of time compiling custom Gentoo on old SGI MIPS systems to obtain the best performance. However, even back then I remember thinking that as computing power evolved, there would be a point where Gentoo would either fade into obscurity, or release binary packages to allow users to quickly set up the distribution. As a result, I'm not surprised by this announcement in the least and half expected it to happen a decade ago.
This[1] is one possible start. Bear in mind though his approach is academic so don’t expect a tidy list of what the working C programmer needs to know.

Verizon offers a web interface to send/receive SMS. I’m guessing other providers may have the same. (This is also useful for getting a 2fa code while on airplane WiFi)

Edit: Sadly Verizon is discontinuing it at the end of the year: https://www.verizon.com/support/verizon-messages-faqs/
But then you have to deal with big upgrades that might break your system and old packages (or start randomly adding PPAs etc.) A rolling distro means you can continually keep up with small changes and only adopt big new pieces (like systemd, pipewire, wayland etc.) if/when you are ready to.

I've installed Gentoo literally two times. Once per PC. Been using it for years. It's not like you have to keep tweaking it. It does help if you run a basic system like me, though (no DE, simple tiling WM, don't use much apart from Emacs and Firefox).
Turbo Pascal for Windows did have a GUI designer, but it was a separate application from the code editor. It wasn't as integrated as VB.

I understand why they’re doing it and maybe in 2017 general mood was a bit different but right now there are people who would absolutely love to diminish the importance of a brand or two first thing in the morning even before their coffee. And they’re giving them ideas for free.
> Nobody's going to move (back?) to "hook-and-loop," […]

I do, depending on the audience — I'm fine with hook-and-loop. In general I try to avoid generic trademarks whenever reasonable. In English this takes more effort; in Dutch this isn't too much of an issue. No native Dutch speaker would consider calling an 'ijsdweilmachine' a 'zamboni', for example. It seems that this is very much a US English thing to do.

The underlying principle for all laws should be that they should serve society, not individuals. Unfortunately influence is more often wielded by individuals. I think this causes an inevitable drift away from societal benefit but there are people pushing against that tide.

It is rather odd seeing a such a visceral reaction to a tweet that is, in essence, true. Copyright exists for the reason you give, and that's what the tweet is alluding to. I think we should always be reassessing the reasons for our laws. I'm inclined to think that while copyright is "a monetization strategy that enables some information related business models at the expense of others" It is one that overall benefits society, albeit I would also like to see changes along the lines of what you suggest.

Having said that I don't think it inevitable that it will always be the case. Should there be one-day a post scarcity world where no-one is required to earn money to survive, perhaps it would be better to make all information un-owned.

I am put in mind of a map I once saw showing the world map stretched to show an even population density, and then the birthplaces of the greatest intellectuals and artists that the world has produced. Realized creativity came from where the money already was. Vast populations of poor regions would have been producing individuals with a similar potential. Potential that went unrealized. That may seem unrelated to the topic of copyright, but I'm not sure it is. If we are to make decisions about which way we are headed, it is worth thinking about where we could go.
If it does hallucinate, you can just paste it the latest documentation and the hallucination rate goes to nearly zero.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying programs shouldn't provide help in response to "`-?`". It sounds like a good idea to me, because that would be an obvious guess for what a user would mean by putting a question mark there. And, as you say, some help is a good response to any unrecognized option.

I'm just saying that I hadn't realized programs did that. And I've been around a long, long time. I guess I'm just blind.

Shocks me that steaming failed to implement that feature. Years ago, broadcast TV would air edited versions and the cost of that editing must be higher than a GUI feature to play one set of scenes instead of the full movie.
$500-$700 rumour sounds like something to get you to click and share their article rather than an honest estimate. Their logic for the two numbers is the panel is estimated to cost $250-$350 (depending on size) and they estimate a 50% profit margin on the iPads so the base model will be 2*$[250,350]=$[500,700] more... which means they must calculate the existing screen to be completely free? They don't mention anything about the base specs increasing in that root article but even if they did that's not clear to be an actual increase in production cost. It's a newer device after all.

I expect a price increase of some sort, it's the safe thing to bet on and anybody else could safely write about that too, but I'm already disappointed how much time I've spent talking about a clickbait future Apple device rumour news article which attempts to create the worst possible number they think they can get away with claiming as realistic.
Corporations are people when it benefits them, and are mindless machines when it benefits them.

Right now they're people because they're being criticized. When they do massive layoffs they're just a business doing business things. When it comes to advertising they're people with free speech rights, but when they're committing wage theft they're just businesses and no one goes to jail. When they hire lobbyists it's their right as people, but when they violate laws meant to keep our environment safe they're just companies again and are hit with a small fine.

It's amazingly convenient (for the corporations at least) that they are only people when it benefits them but can drop that title easily when it makes them more money and shields those people from consequences.

Fellow home schooled person and autodidact here.

Our obligation to society is ongoing. It’s not as if the only benefit we enjoy is the education system that we did not utilize. A system of lesser consequence than the human knowledge the system exists to perpetuate.

Knowledge that you, too, benefited from during your home/self education. When you say self taught, I assume you used some kind of books/curriculum as I did?
I imagine whatever agency or branch that's employing you should provide the specialized training you need. I doubt they'd publish or share the most important practices for security against those you're Counter-Terrorist Operations are targeting from staying ahead of you with that knowledge.
So home owners are to blame for the massively imbalanced housing supply/demand, and not the government who not just allowed but actively enabled that imbalance to happen in the first place?

Interesting thought process.

So the local gas station owner is also to blame for the increase in gas price and destroying the community and not the global supply/demand, right? Also the local bread maker, etc.
The Linux backdoor attempt of 2003 (2013)
Let's hear what the then-President of Exelon, at the time one of the largest nuclear operators in the US, had to say about that.

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.4088

“The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.
For Elixir, take a look at Phoenix LiveView course from https://pragmaticstudio.com - they don't start from the beginning, and assume you are already familiar with Phoenix from the guides.
That's how it gets trained with data - by searching the internet. It's the subject of a couple of lawsuits over copyright.

> I think this primarily comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of where the value in streaming services lies from the perspective of old world media giants.

> Meanwhile Netflix has built some of the most sophisticated production tooling in the world, and leveraged cross-country content like no old-world provider ever has.

If it was so fundamental and obvious like you state wouldn't you have been super rich by now by buying netflix stock when it crashed in 2022. Maybe you are ?

Dominant narrative back then was that netflix is nothing specail. Building a stream app is a commodity that anyone can build and the old-world providers have content that people want to watch.
Same, but I learned so much while doing it. Eventually I got tired and moved to an arch and got most of the same without always fighting broken packages. But I still use the knowledge I gained dealing with random low-level issues when they crop up.

Yeah with a European salary, you don’t meet the requirements.
General web development. PHP, javascript, css. I used to do some java projects as well, but not lately.

I know it's not mainstream to use NetBeans these days, but I don't care, I'm just used to it and it gets the job done. Maybe I'm just getting old.
> Wringing the life is a pretty mean way to put it. They tried to use the IP to make money.

Mean or not, I'd say it's also accurate. They tried to use the IP to make money... by wringing the life out of it. There are so many Marvel/Star Wars movies/tv shows now you need a freaking spreadsheet to keep track.
If you could do that in a letter exchange with Humphry Davy, Lavoisier or other scientist in 1750-1850, that would be fine, though they would probably ask why. There were scientific reasons for giving the name to natural gas (to differentiate from manufacturing process). Can you suggest any reason for your terms?

Anyway, if you would do it today, it is really hard to justify, not least because there exist new meanings of the words now and there exist already sufficiently good classifications. Context does matter.
Soy has long been grown in America but it isn't a traditional part of western diets and was generally considered animal feed (more so in the past than now). This isn't because Asians did eat it, but because westerners didn't in the first place.
> An Istanbul-based bug bounty hunter hypothesized that the npm projects ran by the developer effectively paved the means for the attacker to deploy a reverse shell, by opening up port 5000 on his machine that began "listening" for connections.

Is something blindly connecting to port 5000 and sending a secret payload without verifying what's connected on the other end? That seems like a recipe for chaos.
Fi has started to threaten that they will cancel your account if you are overseas for extended periods a month, maybe two or three. So far it seems to reset if you usage is low and you visit the US often enough, but if you want to take an extended trip, it may simply stop working at some point.
Indisputably.

The highest median income of all countries (Luxembourg) is about half that, give or take. The median income on Earth is somewhere around 5k, I think.
The best meat replacer really isn't tofu, it's Seitan.

It has the umami quality certain meats & cheeses have, you just need to have another bite, that I've not have had with other meat replacements.

I've eaten the most delicious vegetarian chicken made of Seitan over a decade ago in a monastery in Xiamen.

Still not sure why it hasn't made it's way to the West. Maybe because of the fact its basically pure gluten.
No patents then, either, right? What about licensing regimes, be it for professions or for things like resources extraction? They also create artificial scarcity. Pretty sure there is much more business that is in one form or another related to artificial scarcity of sorts.
I know some small artists who think the same. And rightly so, because they earn their living that way. And obviously, those artists expect royalties as long as they have the rights, and as long as those rights are used by third parties.

We need a lot more memory for desktop GPUs with the need to run AI locally for productivity and gaming. 48gb+ would be the minimum ideal for running 70b+ models. If Nvidia, AMD, and Intel fail to deliver more to desktop users, I can see a lot more people switching to Apple's M3 or later chips with 80-128gb shared memory.

Similar to rewind.ai, I want a 100% offline AI with Vision to run on every file and image I touch. Every file I use can be categorized and available to prompt against.
I’m in the same situation. Calling and receiving calls worked for a year or so via the app, but at some point this year, it asked me to verify that my (former) US number was still valid (which I obviously couldn’t do). Probably what OP is referring to.

This will be true forever, because of Rust's stability guarantees. By this logic, Rust will never have any new features.
Parallels has a bad desktop user experience using Linux because of poor support for continuous scrolling. Lots of users have complained on their forums for years, but they refuse to do anything about it. I bought it for one year, and regretted the experience. It works well with Windows though.

Someone still needs to turn those American soybeans into tofu. Either you import the tofu or you import the tofu maker.

Just as with those Honda engines, it's easier to start by rerouting some of the output of an existing factory than having to stand up a whole new factory from scratch.

It might very well turn out that for most of these regional specialty tofus, there's not enough demand in America to make local production economically viable, but there could still be a niche for a specialized tofu importer that can provide small quantities of many different varieties.

In the branchless version, the CPU has to wait for the comparison to resolve before it can start executing the add for the next loop iteration. However, if the branch is predictable, the CPU can assume the result of the conditional and does not need to wait to add one or not. I wrote a more in depth comment about why this is true a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37245594

If I alter the code slightly to do `result += (a[i] == 0) * 2`, gcc emits a branch if the comparison is predictable: https://godbolt.org/z/df3fsoYK8

Here is a benchmark: https://quick-bench.com/q/NSGHu_wfhrMXp0-pZQp9qybCIok. Note how the branchless version takes the same time for the random and the zeroes vector, while the branch version is faster when the branch is predictable but slower when the branch is not predictable.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was referring to. I forgot about the deceptive trailers that attempt to hide the fact it’s dubbed. There’s definitely a deliberate attempt to trick viewers here.

I think the only easy way to tell without watching is by looking at the names of the actors. If they are look like they are from a particular language/region, then it’s usually a sign it’s dubbed.

I was starting to wonder if I was alone with this opinion or if there is just a some Netflix employees here trying to gaslight me. :)
Define ancient. We do know that cultures from 2000+ years ago believed in a flat earth. There is enough proof for this, and Ancient Greece and Romans discovered this to be wrong. But independent of this, there is also the claim that people in medieval Europe believed in a flat earth, again, and this was brought up as a reason why Columbus expedition would fail when he searched for supporters and ships.

And in fact, such stories are not that uncommon at the 18. Century. Thinkers and scientists were fighting against the church, and they made up many fake stories to show how stupid and dangerous the church is. And AFAIK the church believing in a flat earth was one of them.
