Good point about screen width. Personally, I don't have much problem with it - I just move the doc left/right as I read, but I know most people don't like it. (Come to think of it, formatting in columns might be a good idea for modern PDFs.)

> Page 54 from the original is also trivial to preserve with any reader's pagination, it's just a numeric separator

Pagination changes in different readers. That's why PDFs work so hard to be consistent.
If you're not already aware, the primary developer of Mimic 3 (and its non-Mimic predecessor Larynx) continued TTS-related development with Larynx and the renamed project Piper: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper

Last year Piper development was supported by Nabu Casa for their "Year of Voice" project for Home Assistant and it sounds like Mike Hansen is going to continue on it with their support this year.
To your example, recent Bootstrap has a mix of component and utility classes that lets you do both "alert-danger mx-0" or whatever.

I also avoids the giant size of Tailwind classes that requires that elaborate build/reduction process. You can just include Bootstrap from a CDN or whatever.
Ive downloaded hundreds of epubs and pdfs and pdfs always win out in terms of appearance/formatting. Having a reflowable doc means appealing to the lowest common denominator.
> I'm really disappointed in how long its taking anything to get into production.

> It was humbling and also hype-busting to realize that it takes time to productize

Yep, looks like you found out why it’s taking so long to get this new tech into production. The gap between nothing and a proof of concept is, in some ways, much smaller than the gap between proof of concept and commercial product.
What I will try to say is that we are with you, and that your sorrow is shared.

We cannot understand your loss, but we are moved by it, and it will mark us to a lesser degree than it has marked you, but the permanence of the mark will be remembered.

Take from us our thanks for your remembrance, and any solace that we might offer, scant as it may be, in your time of trial.

I will remember "Nikolas," the whispered song of what might have been.
It would be much simpler to just put the FuryGPU and the MRISC32 CPU on the same FPGA, I guess.

I don’t have any physical disabilities, but I am still interested in something like this as may help be smoke less and up my productivity.

I am curious what this would be like pairing it with an eye tracker, so you could look at a particular area then as soon as you move your tongue slightly that’s when the cursor appears where you are looking at. So that the cursor never feels in the way or something you are dragging, and even less movement with the tongue. I’d give a regular mouse up for that in a heartbeat.

But yeah, congrats in seeing your idea out - impressive stuff :)

Maybe he can also get interested in game design! Game design is an interesting topic all by itself and there are many books to learn from :). He seems more like the game design type from what you have said.

I suggest something that is really low-code, not Unity, perhaps Smile Game Builder (for 3D) or RPG Maker (more powerful, but 2D) if what he imagines can be somewhat fitted to RPGs. Construct 3 is also quite good -- all mentioned are great tools to bring out his imagination without becoming an exercise in 3D math and engineering.

When he is 12 or 13 maybe then try Unity + Bolt and then progress into Unity + C#.
All hard things worth doing are. What's your point? Don't do anything worth doing because it's hard?

I have both said and done. It's better for you than integrating the trauma into your personality and by extension your life.
How do you ensure that updates haven’t broken booting?

It is very irksome to have to reboot due to a hardware issue and then discover that some software change possibly months or years ago broke startup.
Three.js seconded for young children. I followed "Game Development with Three.js" with my daughter when she was around 10, and we both had good time. The approach in the book is very interactive: make a change and see immediate results, this works very nicely with impatient young ones.

I modded a game (tho not hl) for many years, I come here to opposite this.

I think since the kid is interested in building a game that they designed themselves, it's better to handover a (simple) game engine to him. A game engine enables way more possibilities than modding. You can add multiplayer over websocket/webrtc, you can write your own shader, you can write your game logic however you want etc. All of that without the overhead/limitation of a modding environment.

Also, out in the wild the job opportunity for Garry's Mod developers is very scarce, if any. Just something to think about if op wants to do some carrier development for the kid while having fun.
Why not? Companies will eventually sort into ones where likeminded people are together. Some will be more friendly to remote than others. If I want to work in person with people, I’ll join a company that agrees. If someone wants to be remote, they might have to join a different company.
A friend of mine's 9 y old used Scratch to build games.

He asked me "do you build games?"

"No, I wish, I don't really have an idea for a game"

"Well how about one where you chase zombies?"

"Haha ok."

"Well now you have an idea for a game. Go and make one!"

I don't know much about McKinsey but I see memes about their consulting. Can someone share what that's all about?
Yes. I run Quake at 320x180 (16:9), but the VGA signal is 1920x1080, so the video HW scales the framebuffer using nearest neighbor interpolation, and then it's all displayed on a super-crisp modern monitor. So the pixels are very sharp and visible.
As mentioned in the article, this operator uses CNPG and adds easy plugin management (Nice!) and Stacks (prebuilt optimized deployments, although I’m unsure what this does exactly. It just sounds like containers with optimized settings)
What was she like in person? Any particular situation that stand out?
Well, more to the point, someone teaching Chinese would be unlikely to think that illustrating a particular letter was a concept that made any sense. Pinyin is a syllabic system, not an alphabetic system.

For example, the letter Y in the syllable "yue" is notionally silent -- making it an especially terrible choice of something to illustrate! -- and "yue" could appear in the same row of a pinyin table as "wu", since they both start with the same consonant (or, more accurately, neither of them starts with a consonant at all). But Y in "yang" is not silent; it represents the same sound you'd expect if you were familiar with English.

By the same token, "i" represents a very different vowel in "shi" than it does in "ni". And interestingly enough, although "ni" rhymes with "xi" and doesn't rhyme with "shi", the traditional analysis says that "xi" and "shi" use the same vowel (again, it's supposed to be a lack of a vowel, not a vowel that exists) while "ni" is doing something that is somehow different.

Modern analysis would disagree with the traditional claim about vowels, but can support the idea that "yue" and "wu" both begin with a zero onset.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Good luck with the project!
>2. This has resulted in the "download count" metric crashing for several high profile podcasts the publish frequently -- The Daily from NYTimes is mentioned.

>3. This lowers advertising rates and is basically bad for the publishers of those podcasts -- the "download count" for some shows has fallen by 40%.

As I understand it, when YouTube about a decade ago started using more accurate metrics, it turned out that the viewership for some very prominent corporate channels was way overinflated. This is why The Onion, CollegeHumor, and Funny or Die all suddenly vanished. (And probably also why QCode has become way, way less active on producing new podcasts, or delivering on its goal of turning podcasts that hit it big into film/TV projects.)

That is completely unlikely. As ximeng says, it's an archaic word for a special weapon, but also:

* Most of the other letters on the ball work well in English but would not work well for Chinese words with pinyin

* Children do not learn the alphabet by studying pinyin since pinyin only has a subset of letters. The initials in pinyin are: b, p, m, f, d, t, n, l, g, k, h, j, q, x, zh, ch, sh, r, z, c, s, w, and y. As you can see, there is no 'v'. Children in Chinese-speaking countries would still use English to learn their ABCs.
It kind of has, many NPR shows have been killed, they were in trouble for a bit even.

The headline does not restrict this to specific models. I’ll be impressed if they actually update old models. If it’s another go forward promise - I’ll be a bit skeptical until they actually deliver for a bit.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am immediately adding the book to kindle and will start reading it today itself.

I just can't stand a podcast where it's just 2-3 (usually) men shooting the shit in front of microphones for multiple hours. There is no subject, no editing and no point. They might end up with a few 20-30 second funny clips on TikTok.

There are podcasts that are actually edited, those are the good ones. They stay on subject, boring / unfunny bits are edited out etc.

My favourite example in this is the No Such Thing As A Fish -podcast from the QI crew.

I didn't know at first it was carefully edited, but then they started releasing the outtake bits as bonus episodes and the curtain was lifted =)
Docker on macOS is just a shitshow.

It's always using a VM so I am guessing Rosetta is involved and a x86 emulation ist happening. (Again, this is a guess!)

If docker is a priority, Asahi Linux might be a great option, but this will of course create new problems, as it's far from done, and switching to Linux is a project on its own.

I for myself use a Debian ARM64 VM in UTM to have the most control over the VM and then just use docker in there. Works much better than I anticipated.
it's not the cfcs themselves but their chlorine breakdown product (in uv light). certainly there are disadvantages to adding free halogens such as fluorine and chlorine to your air (chlorine used to be a major chemical warfare agent, and fluorine wasn't only because there's no practical way to carry it around, it being the closest real equivalent to the legendary alkahest), but unlike cfcs halogens are not persistent in the environment, and it's not unimaginable that the required levels of halogens would be less harmful than the ozone they removed

platinum, though, can catalyze the same decomposition that chlorine does, so
i suspect that a much more reasonable approach is to use platinum catalytic converters, so the catalyst remains contained with a box instead of going into your lungs
> The researchers examined productivity trends in 43 industries — including chemical manufacturing, retail trade, and accommodation and food services — and assigned a “teleworkability” score based on the occupational mix of each industry and the share of jobs that can be done remotely.

They never actually measured the amount of work hours being done remotely. They never measured the number of employees working remotely. They just had some guy make up "remote-ability" numbers for each sector and then carefully pretended to be doing science. Meanwhile all these sectors have seen unrelated changes to operating environment that have not been controlled for. It's BS on BS on BS.

Overall I am not even convinced their remote work metric would correlate with hours worked remotely.

If you think OpenAI's TTS is impressive, you should check out Eleven Labs. They have the highest quality models IMO. Voice quality, emotional awareness / inflection and support for foreign languages are top-notch, it's that last point that OpenAI seems to have the most issues with. If you find a good voice to clone, the latest models can even replicate somewhat unusual accents and speaking styles.

For plain old English TTS with a stock voice, there isn't that much of a difference (although Eleven Labs still wins IMO), but if you need either voice cloning or foreign language support, nothing else comes even close.

With that said, Eleven is extremely pricy, something like Azure TTS (which is the best among the cheap options) may be a better fit for less demanding applications.

Is it night shift on mac doing it?
I know I am more productive for sure. I started working remotely in 2017, but I wasn't allowed to jump right into it. I had an agreement with my manager and I started doing one day remote a week, then two, and eventually built up to fully remote, and eventually even working remotely from all over the world. But it wasn't overnight, I had to build that trust.

I honestly got a little nervous when everyone started working from home suddenly. I think everyone that can, should have the option, but some people just don't have the discipline or haven't learned it yet. I know this because another person on my team wanted to emulate my success (pre-COVID) and blew it and proved they couldn't get work done outside the office.
I think you’re looking for an open source game that is small, can be built and run, and your son likes already.

From there he can start tinkering with code and assets.

That way your son directly sees the results of his work. Creating an entire game from scratch even with the best tools might be too much in the beginning and he will lose interest.

Just today, I needed to interpret some awkwardly-timestamped log data. I asked it a few questions along the lines of "What time it was 10,000 seconds before xx:yy:zz?" It didn't give me the answer, but it wrote and executed a Python program that did.
Exploring Image Classification with Multimodal LLMs
Given that LLMs are adept at handling a variety of traditional NLP tasks like sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and text classification, it’s interesting to consider whether multimodal (language and vision) LLMs could supplant traditional image classification methods as well. I worked on this project over the long weekend to explore that question and have documented the effort and my findings at the link provided. I'm not a scientist, I just like learning, so don't laugh too hard if this is bogus.
In bash you can probably use "pushd" instead of "cd" (it builds a stack and can swap top two entries, as well as rotate the stack) and abuse "dirs" (to create the variables with something like "c3=$( dirs +3 2>/dev/null )").
This is the part that I agree with, and is the only valid argument out of all of these emotional whining of not making all of the retail pricing. The fact that only one store is allowed to exist makes it a hinky situation grey area for me. I personally don't have an issue with it, as I will not just jump to any ol app store UNLESS they can prove they are not allowing absolute shite malicious stealing nefarious devs to infect the store. I have 0 trust that will happen though. We'll see what the next store decides to take as their cut though. If they come out and take 30%, I will laugh.
And then you've come full circle though right?

I have had a hard time understanding this story. It seems there were accusations of software glitches for decades that were never acknowledged, but the latest revelation has less to do with these glitches and more that Fujitsu employees had remote access to go in and make unauditable changes to accounts. So are there software flaws or not, and if so, of what nature?
