Seems like the Moat they might have is licensing is if they start getting celebrities or studios to license their tech. Very big market for animation studios to have this tech.

If they were the shop where you go to get a famous person's or character's voice I could see it reaching this valuation.

But as a pure tech play, seems likely that in 2-3 years the open source models will be good enough to not need an established player.

If you go on Fiverr and ask for a text narration, most of the people on there just use elevenlabs or a similar service and aren't actually doing the narration themselves but essentially just licensing their voice.
They were collecting data. The theory had already been worked out at that point, but it required data to be put to use. I think this does broadly fit within the framework of Popperian falsification that OP is describing. But I'd also agree that classification and data gathering, as well as hypthothesis generation are of course all vital parts of the scientific process. It is worth noting though that a surprisingly large number of scientists have issues grokking or putting into action the concept of 'falsifying the null hypothesis'.
Also, the timing of the temperature: I've heard of good results if you start heating the water before assembling the unit, so you don't apply as much direct pressure to the grinds.

I wish I could just use Dropbox as it existed 10-years ago.

Note: I'm not knocking Dropbox, there's just some products that are great and don't need enhancing. I wish I could buy that version.

It does exist, I’ve been playing around with it all week :). Let me know if you’d like a custom Mistral 7B I’ll train one for you.

From the output of bing chat, and the very specific way it goes off the rails, I suspect Microsoft has figured it out too. The algorithmic jump to rapid generalization isn’t hard to make. I would be shocked if there’s not an open source version of it a year from now.
IPv6 not just allowing, but expecting multiple scoped addresses relieves this quite nicely.

The most common setup for this is that you have a static link-local address, and a static global address. And listening processes should listen to these static addresses.

Then you have a temporary global address, and outbound connections should use the youngest temporary global address (because temporary addresses don't disappear when they age out, they disappear when they age out AND no existing connection is still using them).

The net effect is that the address you leave in example.com's httpd logs is a temporary address that has no listening processes. And the address you use in dns, mdns, when connecting intentionally, etc is a static address.
Wait what. I'm sympathetic to the notion that not every Bad Thing is because of "maximizing profits", but in this case you can point to incredibly specific things, done to maximize profits, that directly caused this crisis.

After acquiring McDonnell, Boeing went on a spree of divestments where parts plants that supplied them were spun off into independent vendors. One of the biggest of these is Spirit Aerosystems, which provides the fuselage assembly for the 737.

The divestments were specifically motivated by improving short-term profitability of the company, in the classic "sell it and rent it back" mode that's particularly in mode with private equity.

By all accounts quality control at Spirit Aerosystems has suffered since, with Boeing having relatively little leverage in improving this state of affairs (one may argue that it's not terribly interested in improving the state of affairs).

As far as we know the aircraft that kicked off this crisis was delivered from Spirit with an incorrectly installed plug door (more specifically, the bolts that secured it from opening were not installed at all)

Sure, not everything is corporate greed, but there's a really bright and direct line here between the financialization of Boeing in the mid-00s and this specific crisis.

I think we should take these stories with a grain of salt given that workers still seem to prefer to work at Amazon Warehouses over small mom-and-pop stores in many markets that have thriving economies and worker shortages.

Not to mention, Amazon has programs that encourage you to upgrade your skills and shift from line worker to supervisor ... and ultimately even out of the warehouse into management and operations. These are not career paths usually available in other employment settings for workers who did not prepare adequately after high school for work.
> I clicked the “X” dismiss button. But Apple somehow assumed that that meant “yes, install it immediately” because 20 minutes later I got a “you must restart” notification and when I restarted, the system was running macOS 14.2.1.

That definitely sounds like a bug to me, not a product decision. Real shitty though. Apple definitely better than Microsoft when it comes to shoving updates down your throat, but as others have said, yes the ultimate answer is to use FOSS. For my use, I appreciate regular updates, they rarely cause me trouble, and don’t want to have to be a linux sysadmin for my daily driver anymore. But I understand the desire for crystal clear control. Apple is usually pretty good about this, so this failure really is a stain. I hope they fix it.
Here comes the confirmation bias.

Now, every issue with a Boeing plane will be noticed, reported on and magnified. I'm not saying this is necessarily bad as there actually do seem to be some significant issues at Boeing. Hopefully, the result is an intense shakeup resulting in increased focus on quality.
This subject was on-topic enough to warrant a thread with over 1,000 comments when the Emergencies Act was invoked, much of which centered on whether the government's use of these special powers was justified.

It's actually more restrictive than the sibling makes it sound. A SCIF can't have any radio-transmitting device, recording device, or storage media without special approval. Computers hooked up to classified networks can't have USB ports. Even medical devices are case by case. My wife requires hearing aids and needed them to be analyzed and approved by a security team before she could bring them in. Pacemakers require approval.

The phones and networks are hardened by being their own separate network from public networks. The lines are all buried and protected and utilize hardware-encrypted point to point tunnels to merge with public backbone fiber. I've told an anecdote here many times of working at a facility where AT&T contractors dug too close to a JWICS fiber cable and had an unmarked black SUV show up in minutes to confiscate all of their gear and question them.

Keep in mind the military has been encrypting radio traffic over hostile territory for a century, so they don't even necessarily require the lines themselves to be physically secure as long as the endpoint devices are. Encryption keys are loaded from hardware random number generators that are synced manually on some rotating basis determined by local command or national policy, depending on the intended reach of the comms device. The NSA has something called a key management infrastructure for the wide-area computer net that replaced the legacy system a few years ago that is similar to PKI, but keys are only issued in-person and stored on unnetworked hardware key loaders that are kept in locked arms rooms on military installations (or with deployed units). There is, of course, also a DoD and IC PKI so they can still use develop and use regular web applications and browsers, but it is also more restrictive than regular PKI. Everything requires client certs and mutual TLS and you need to be personally sponsored to get your personal certificates.

It's actually really cool the way the JWICS websites work because your client cert provides an identity that is linked to your sponsoring agency's clearance database and web apps automatically redact content on the server side that you are not cleared to see. It's possible I'm making up memories but I think I've seen at least a few cases where some applications can do this inside of a single page, but typically you get a denial for an entire application if you're not cleared for the highest level data it provides.

I almost hate to say it because it's antithetical to the Internet and Hacker News ethos, but it's a testament to how well networked applications could work with a central authority and no anonymity. You don't need passwords. Accounts are provisioned automatically. SSO is global to the entire network. You only need one identity. But no, your office can't have Alexa.
> How exactly do you do any of this? The fact that no rideshare app offers these filters even though it would be trivial to add them kinda proves my point.

By using rideshare apps. In many countries, there are real taxis available, however they tend to drive unsafe. This is why I use apps like Uber or Grab because the driver has a reputation to maintain and can be punished by the app.
I don't think Kauffman is making any claims about consciousness here. I agree that consciousness is a big mystery. Kauffman's theory (haven't yet read this paper, but have read a lot of his other work), is that self-replicating entities are essentially inevitable in environments that have above some level of chemical complexity. That chemical complexity also weakly implies that there is useable free energy, which is also a requirement for self replication.

So are high prices not an incentive for house builders to ramp up and build more houses? What is the breakdown of costs to building a new house between labor, materials, land, permits/inspections, construction loan burden, etc.? Is anyone working on tech to reduce construction costs of new houses? There are more out-there things like 3D-printing structures. But how about more conventional/mundane things. How hard would it be to have a robot that could lay asphalt shingles and staple them in place? Maybe mudding/taping sheetrock would be not-too-difficult to automate? I'm assuming the raw materials are pretty well automated at the factory (things like sheet rock, 2x4's at the saw mill, plywood, etc.)
Same question but for Finland.

It's interesting to see how quickly the norms around cybersecurity changed. In 1999 the NSA was worried about avoiding ridicule for banning simple electronics in secure areas. In 2010 Stuxnet was introduced via simple electronics into a secure area and set back the Iranian nuclear program by several years.

Some of the people receiving these furby emails were probably already conceiving of (or actively working on) Stuxnet-like capabilities. Maybe a future FOIA request will reveal several teams quietly emailing up the org chart to absolutely not relax the rule for furbies.
Let’s please not turn this into a flamewar. There are dozens of reasons to not use Android, like there are dozens of reasons to use it. It’s a personal choice. When someone asks “how can I avoid this one thing”, the answer isn’t “switch to this alternative which has seventeen different problems you’ll dislike more”.

The OP is asking a question on Hacker News. Surely they have heard of Android. They might even use it, since the given example concerns macOS, to which Android isn’t an alternative in the slightest.
I'm very excited about this; I'm not in a position right now where I particularly need a laptop, but my existing laptop is very much EOL at this point, to the point where some components have started failing, and depending on reviews I strongly suspect that when I need a new laptop the Framework 16 will be it.

The biggest feature I want is a good stylus/touchscreen for portable drawing, in my dream world that would be something I could swap in and out, possibly replacing the keyboard. I can imagine having the front keyboard mostly be a touchscreen display and just sticking a narrow module to one side of the screen with hotkeys...

Having a decent laptop that I can add a GPU to and take a GPU off of, add a digitizer and use as a drawing tablet or remove a touchscreen for trips where I don't need one, switch keyboards for specific projects -- quick swapping of components isn't just cool from a repair perspective, it's a major selling point to be able to have a single device that can serve multiple roles on demand. In most cases you probably don't want a GPU on a laptop; you want extra battery life. Until you do. And when you have some rendering workload or something intensive to do, you turn off the computer, plug in the GPU, and turn it back on.

I really hope that 3rd-party components take off. I'm trying to be responsible and wait until I have an actual need (and at the very least I want to wait and see reviews), but I'd be very tempted to buy one of these as soon as they launch if there was digitizer support, there aren't a lot of good, repairable, linux-compatible drawing tablets on the market.
In case of security fixes, you will stay unpatched for a bit less time. ESR is intended for places that really don't like any form of change like rigid enterprises and banks and such. End users should probably steer clear of that unless they have a good reason not to; which they generally don't. Except for a false sense of security.

I personally don't see a good reason to opt out of security changes for any longer than strictly necessary and that's exactly what you do when using ESR. First they get backported by Mozilla. That's after normal users receive them. This takes time. Then testing takes place because they don't want to push out a hasty fix for ESR. This takes more time. And then third party packagers need to pick up the changes and repackage (which is mostly pointless and adds more time). And then eventually it rolls out days/weeks/months after normal users have long received the patches. I don't seen any good reason for such lengthy delays for normal users. In some big companies where they manually review updates for workstations it's a compromise between the extra work and stability. But the tradeoff is timely access to security fixes; which ESR simply doesn't provide.
Seems to me the "experts" have no experience in construction, so they dismiss it - which makes me dismiss them.
I use rideshare apps rather than taxis. I extensively travel between developed and developing countries and the drivers in developing countries are atrocious. Rideshare apps are always more expensive than local taxis but the drivers are much better.
“The wheels are coming off”, you say?
Looks like the drop was due to folks taking the opportunity to unload. Is this a temporary movement due to a number of reactionaries or will it sustain?
agreed. This is what I think is the point of conflict.

If each had all the roads they could want, and didnt have to share, then I dont think either would care about the other.

Reality is that they do have to share, it isn't safe or convenient, and therefore people get angry.
If the price of gold dropped to its industrial use demand it may as well go to zero.

> By now, everyone knows that serverless doesn't actually mean without servers; it just means using someone else's servers.

What? Is this some kind of confusing reference to lambda and competing providers? As far as I know most of computing is serverless.
It absolutely competes if you value upgradability. The two are about the same price for similar specs, but the moment you buy the X1 the clock starts ticking. Heck even the RAM in it is soldered to the motherboard these days.

I've always found Nintendo's audio architectures to be fascinating.

The original NES had a sample generator that could do arbitrary waveforms and could be driven in two modes: one mode is you gave it a memory address and it'd start reading the bits in and treat them as an incredibly simple waveform (1 means 'go up one value', 0 means 'go down one value'... So to do a flat wave you'd do a run of 10101010etc.).

But you could also direct-drive the chip by continuously feeding it an "initial value" directly from the CPU, which was actually faster than the audio driver would read the bits from RAM itself... Problem is that doing so ate up all your CPU cycles, so you could only do it if you weren't doing anything else.

There were some games that took advantage of that: Battletoads had higher-fidelity drum-hits that they could play when action was paused, and they used it for the title screen, the extra-"crunchy" final hits on enemies (where all the action paused for a moment for dramatic effect), and the memorable pause music.

Here's a demo of the game switching between direct-drive and let-chip-read-samples mode to demonstrate (credit to Retro Game Audio for uploading the emulator-doctored video to show when the game is in the direct-drive subroutine). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGT0FM3yh-w

> The scientific process only involves falsifiable theories

This is definitely not true. One obvious example is that important scientific work is done turning unfalsifiable theories into falsifiable ones. After gravitational waves were predicted by general relativity there was some argument about whether they were a real observable thing or just an artifact of the maths. Those guys were undoubtedly doing "real science" while discussing something that some of them thought was undetectable (and therefore unfalsifiable).

Another example is that a lot of science is exploratory without any particular theory you're trying to falsify.

Science is more interesting and broad than your dogma about what it should be.

I love it. Was susskind inspired by this at all with his complexity=action (duality) [1] hypothesis?

Which makes sense for paper, because if a table surface gets wet then you don't want the bottom of the scrolls touching a wet table.

Also if you have different sized holes you can rotate the device to have the most used holes facing upwards.
There is nothing in the IPv4 header that is only useful for TCP, especially not in the parts removed from IPv6. Overall the IPv6 header gets rid of the 4 bytes of fields used for fragmentation, and 2 bytes used for the checksum. Fragmentation was never used for TCP in any sane implementation (as TCP can do fragmentation at the TCP layer), and the checksum were fully redundant for TCP. For UDP, the checksum used to be optional, but is now required. So, for an optimized implementation, the checksum removal isn't even a win for UDP, as it has just moved from the IP layer to the UDP layer.

So, we have added 24 bytes to the header because of the address difference, and removed 4 bytes from other places.

Now again, there are many differences between IPv4 and v6 that are much more relevant to latency than this extra header overhead. But it is a real overhead, there is no extra scope for payload. Your observation with ping is just wrong (most likely both versions are just padding the packets up to 64 bytes by default).
It was probably off-topic back then too I assume.
Cerebras already solved this problem. So we have that existence proof. The redundancy overhead in v1 was 1-1.5%, and reportedly half that for v2 WSE.
