Which is a perfectly fine counter-argument if you are, in fact, not going it right.

If you say you're doing continuous deployment because you deploy every Tuesday evening, it's perfectly fair to point out that that's not continuous deployment.

Of course, you should follow it up by explaining why as well, but many companies don't actually follow the agile principles.
Welcome to StackExchange?
The writing has some of the same feel as the writing for HTMX or Tailwind.

Paraphrasing: "Yes we know this is different. Yes it is very simple. You may not be used to it, but it is easier to understand and work with. You don't have to use this. We like this and we are happy."
This isn't really news to anyone, but the headline dramatically understates the actual situation if we extend beyond the conventional understanding of 'jobs that require a college degree'

What the article discusses are lower-paying, non-"professional" jobs that don't include a degree as a required qualification, however the majority of jobs which do "require" a college degree (your typical non-specialist corporate role, for ex.) only use that requirement as a filtering mechanism when hiring. That "requirement" doesn't actually reflect a need for any specific knowledge/experience that might result from getting a college degree, which is evident when we consider those hiring for these positions don't usually care what degree an applicant has - only that they can tick off the "college degree" checkbox.

You'll notice articles like these are "Musk accused of...".

You don't get a lot of "H. Lawrence Culp accused of..." or "Tim Cook accused of..." articles. In those cases, it's the company being accused, not the man.

Whereas any shot a journalist can take on Musk personally must be taken.
Went by the title, but yeah, announced is more fitting.
Cool project, Jaspr is at the moment pretty popular choice for web development in Dart, have you done a comparison?
So do the birds.

Dunno if anyone else noticed this. Back in August 1999 in UK we were
in a woodland clearing near the sea for the event. The sky was full
of birds. When the sun dimmed, they all landed and fell silent. When
the sun came back, the birds all start singing again like it was dawn.
That rapid change of soundscape was both creepy and beautiful.

Check out the continue dev plugin (available for VS Code and Jetbrains). You can attach it to OpenAI or local models and it can consider files in your codebase. It has a @Codebase keyword, but so far I get better results in specifically pointing to the needed files.

Show HN: A companionable and convenient Countdown tool website
Hello everyone,

I am an independent developer and I've recently launched a small tool website - 5minutetimer.com. This project is very special to me as it's not just a simple 5-minute timer, but a website designed to offer a companionable and convenient countdown experience.

At 5minutetimer.com, you can easily set up countdowns and have the option to customize dynamic images and background music during the countdown, making each countdown a unique experience.

I plan to continuously improve the website, adding more interesting and useful countdown features in the future. I sincerely hope to receive your support and feedback to help me make it better.

Thank you very much for your attention and support!
"Emergency care can't be a free market" is a reasonable statement provided the customer is the patient and not e.g. an insurer with a contractual obligation to meet a particular emergency response time, who could contract with different emergency services providers in any given area in advance and secure lower pricing by playing two providers who could each meet their emergency response requirements against each other or threatening to enter the market themselves.

"Joint replacements can't be a free market" is simply nonsense.
What does this mean? Paying back loans / reducing debt? Or more like dividends?
> How much less care will be taken by the human reviewers knowing that an AI picked the target?

it would depend on how the liability flows when the target is wrong. Will the AI cover the ass of the previous person who would've had to vet it? Or will the ultimate responsibility and therefore, liability, lay with a person?

Right, it's still experimental and I am not really sure what Ruby Teams goal is with Ractor. I've played around with it and it looks promising but the warning it being experimental has stopped me from actually using it on projects.
Very good!

Yes, that's basically how it works.

I don't do any pitch-correction. But I do check the TTS output for lenght, and I re-generate if it doesn't match my time contraints.

I also have an arranger that tries to figure out when to play an utterance early (i.e. earlier than in the original) in order to make up for the translated version being longer.

I try to make the translations match the speaker's character, as well as the context. So ideally, Alex (Sample 2) will still say "Salut" even in German (instead of translating that greeting, too).

And I need to monitor for speaker changes. This is because I can't clone the voice unless I have a decent amount of sample data. If Elon just says "Yes", cloning the voice based on just that one syllable will make it sound like a robot. But I also can't just blindly grab any voice around it, since that might be somebody else's voice.
Man, this whole "All you need is XYZ" framing is turning out to the as irritating and overused as "XYZ considered harmful" from back in the day.

From an MR comment:

> Bram Stoker died in April 1912: wonder what he might have made of the spectacle of Progress known as World War One, the applications of all that beloved industry, the rational pursuit of rational ends with well-engineered (hence, rational) means, the wholesale destruction of quaint rural culture and peoples, the royal connections by blood among the crowned heads of so many of the contending parties, to say little or nothing of the Easter Rebellion of 1916.

This reminds me of Heinrich Böll's At the Bridge (An der Brücke), published 1949. Its protagonist makes his own attempt to efface the legibility to technological modernity of his beloved, but as Böll had briefly worked as a statistician before turning to writing, the author was surely aware of the futility, or at least the limits, of his character's effort!
I think Bing is more important than that.

Bing is an insurance policy against Google having too much control over the internet. I don't think Microsoft care about market share, they care about having a foothold that they could invest in if they needed to without needing to go from a standing start.

Yeah it's pretty silly. I guess Apple looked at their market and figured something out that met the majority of use cases, but not having that freedom is very frustrating.

One can call out Western hypocrasy without abetting, and excusing Putins actions. Or defend them. Or spreading propaganda and other falsehoods. You can do so, too. I know it.
Never said that. My sarcastic rant was there because locking people up is simply not a good enough solution.

I can guarantee you the vast majority of people in prison can be reformed and reintegrated. But most prison systems don't want that. They work towards punishment/revenge, and as a bonus, give out slave labor for dirty companies.

Suggesting "locking more people up" is a good solution is so bad that it's laughable in my view. It's so short-sighted and simplistic that it's not worth arguing about. Locking more people up translates to locking more poor people up, for the crime of being poor.

I even added a "/s" to make it clear I was being ironic, but clearly that didn't work as I intended.
This is brilliant, there goes my afternoon. Thank you

Yep.
UHC is great under one circumstance - if you and your family are all relatively healthy, so your coverage needs are just visits to the family doc or maybe an occasional injury. Many people fit that scenario, so may not realize that it can get bad once you start dealing with chronic problems, unusual cases, needing atypical prescriptions, etc.

Basically, it is a product made for the 80%, and the 80% don't realize how badly screwed the 20% are.
The underlying technology, https://gource.io/, has probably been mentioned here before, but it's a superb tool which produces beautiful animations, so deserves another airing.
Somewhat OT but an interesting self-experiment:

> running it to death over a period of days.

Yup. Superior endurance, particularly equatorially where walking upright reduces sun exposure. Walk, sleep, walk, sleep, walk, KILL, FEAST. Repeat as necessary.

It's an attractive idea. To test it (very informally) one Saturday I got up and walked 14 km on an empty stomach. At the end, the first thing I had was a Belgian beer on tap. It was the most delicious beer of my entire life. Absolutely every bit of complexity in the brew came shining thru. It was frankly kind of amazing.

YMMV.
Giannandrea's testimony, as recorded in the filing, also states: "Microsoft was willing to sell Bing, which you wouldn't do if it was a strategic asset."

I think safe to say, it wasn't only about Annie Lennox. Even Microsoft knew they had a turd on their hands.
Interesting. I'm curious why you think it's unfortunate... mind-expansion?
Clearly more countries need more nukes, everyone is getting more nukes, why can't Germany and Poland get their own arsenal?
Can you share their tweets?
CJK(V) is just a collective name for countries that use or historically have used Han characters, and the main reason tends to be a lack of alternatives. Korean had an alternative for almost 6 centuries, and while it took a very long time Han characters are now virtually extinct in the Korean language (despite some people arguing otherwise...). And other languages don't need 40K characters to learn anyway, it's around 5--10K characters IIRC.

Whilst somewhat true a year ago the exact same conversation was being had about ChatGPT, which also preferred nuking cities to letting people hear racial slurs and had many other completely misaligned outputs. That conversation has died out because OpenAI made big improvements to its political balance and neutrality.

Is it now perfectly neutral? No. Give it political alignment tests and it will lean left. But is it neutral enough to be acceptable to a wide range of users and avoid embarrassing OpenAI employees? Seems like yes. Also, the API seems to be less nannying than ChatGPT web UI, and they let you set custom system instructions that the model does seem to follow. Notice that when OpenAI launched their image generator the same blowup didn't occur. And OpenAI recently launched Sora - where are the twitter threads about how Sora refuses to make videos of white people? Nowhere? Presumably then it doesn't have that problem (I haven't tried it).

So at least one SF based company has shown that it can resolve these problems.

AI companies should not be lobbying for regulation of the AI space, Marc is totally right about that, but ironically Google just handed the anti-regulation lobby the best ammo they could possibly hope for.
Well, it depends on the nature of the product. Some trivial things which has 100 LOC in it is not worth GPLing, as everyone including yourself would benefit from a BSD/public domain license.
Thank you!

With movies, I think I could get into legally challenging territory. I guess all AI apps are, in a way. But with movies, there's an entire industry behind enforcing copyright. So I must tread carefully on that front.

I made the jump from the courtroom into VS Code years ago. I really don't want to go backwards.
seems cool but the top of the page says the thing you suggest is now deprecated
The question is whether a synthetic AI would be under evolutionary (natural or artificial) selective pressure. And even then, some species co-evolve into mutualistic or symbiotic relations (hopefully not parasitic).

edit: I could very well see humans augmented with AI outcompeting baseline humans.
I use ChatGPT a lot as a non-native english speaker.
You are thinking of Chinese characters. Unlike the Japanese where knowledge of Kanji is pretty much required to read texts above a certain level, they are optional in Korean.

It is true that a good portion of vocabulary are derived from Chinese words (hence they /can/ be spelled with Chinese characters), and maybe 30+ years ago it was common practice to have newspapers and textbooks writing complex words in Chinese characters. This is no longer the case, and pretty much all texts these days spell everything with the Korean alphabet. The practice of learning non-simplified Chinese characters of course is still common among Koreans for several reasons.

I am not religious but I have experienced a total eclipse and it was the closest thing to a religious experience I have experienced. Seeing the sun and everything go dark in an instance is an overwhelming experience.

It's not like the sun fades slowly into darkness. It fades slowly until it half dark, and then just goes out in 1 second. Like if someone fades the light of the sun out in 1 second. It felt impossible. And you can see the light on the horizon, which looks amazing too. And when the sun comes back it comes back in a blinding explosion of light like you have never seen.

I have one like those: love it, perfect for skiing and other outdoor stuff in winter. I also "loose" it once per winter, only to find it a couole days of searching later. Unfortunately, it seems to be gone for good this time, 12 years in. Cost me 30 bucks back the day, just hope they still make similar ones.

You can choose to complain that it so doesn't support it natively, or you can just buy the aftermarket hardware that does support it and get on with your dual-head, non-pro life. Or upgrade your monitor to a single curved 5k ultra wide monitor, which is better than dual-head, imo.
Like anything wheeled, the type of wheels alone can make terrain navigation much more easy or entirely hellish. I suspect most hospital wheelchairs are optimized for being cheap, including having cheap wheels that do fine on the smooth polished floors of hospitals, and ok-enough for brief journeys (often pushed by someone) just outside to a waiting vehicle, but are not appropriate for going across the street or even at a home with carpet.

My grandpa had a few wheelchairs, me and my cousins would try them out / have fun going up and down the ramp to the house door. They had better wheels (needed for lots of picnics outside on grass, or down the stairs in the basement), the difficulty was mainly a matter of strength, not getting stuck on something seemingly innocuous. (Though you do learn pretty fast I think when you should go over something back-wheels first, either by necessity or just to make things a lot easier.) I remember even as a late teen pushing him up some steeper rough grass though, it could be pretty tough. He wheeled himself around most of the time, he had good arm strength as long as I knew him. I remember getting grabbed by him once too (in trouble for something, what I don't remember) and knowing I wouldn't be able to get away.
Reading between the lines, there is likely no legal obligation for Amazon to attend those hearings, which again sound like Soviet show trials against them for purely political and ideological reasons.

Again, if Amazon has been breaking the law in their warehouses that's the job of the courts and employment tribunals.

The EU Parliament has been going from bad to worse over the years, it's now just ideology and populism. Instead of using Amazon as punching ball they should rather ponder why the EU economy and EU companies are falling behind...
> insurance should be for things where you travel in an ambulance to the hospital and that's it.

There is another major class of things you want to insure against, and it's the big one.

Chronic conditions. You get diagnosed with diabetes. It's costly and it happens rarely in an unpredictable way. You don't know if you're going to get diabetes, or cancer, or something else, so you insure against it instead of being bankrupted by the long-term treatment.

And then the insurance covers your annual checkup for free because they want to catch things early before they progress.
