I’ve seen this tweet doing the rounds but it seems strange. The way the text in the email is presented is odd. Why is there a cursor midway through a sentence. Why is it forwarded text? Why is there no sender information? Why is the subject line the voice actor’s name?

It looks to me like an agent has forwarded something from a third party production company working for the BBC.

There are at least five different possibilities here:

1. The production company is working on spec or to develop a proof of concept piece of content that is not going to be broadcast so they are using AI voice to flesh out that proof of concept.

2. A production assistant sending this weirdly formatted email has got the wrong end of the stick and sent an email referencing AI voice having misunderstood something.

3. The BBC is actually using AI voice. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it is for broadcast or public facing use.

4. The BBC is using AI voice for broadcast/public facing use and Equity (the performers’ union) will call out its members to strike.

5. The email is fake.

With no further context it’s impossible to say which of these is most likely. But in the absence of any further detail - particularly context from the author of the tweet or sender info - even partially obfuscated - there’s enough doubt to need that further context before people start screaming and wailing about AI destroying jobs.

If this isn’t happening now, it will happen in six months. And if it doesn’t happen in six months it will happen at some point in the near future.

Voice actors, session musicians, anyone providing a “commodity performance” need to prepare themselves for a world where the majority of work evaporates or changes and only remarkable performances stand out and have value beyond what can be delivered by AI.

Apple will soon include A.I. in iPhones that will in essence provide an eternal simulation of each of us. Progeny will be able to interact with us in our own voices and likely in 3D. When openAI and its humanoid robots align, your AI clone will be uploaded to the unit. Unfortunately “you” won’t be able to enjoy or reciprocate “their” enjoyment. Similar to if you recorded a video to your family today and they watched it after you passed away.

> What is the goal here? How can we "win" in Gaza?

People make this a philosophical question. It's not. Israel's goal is to eliminate Hamas. Not the "idea", the actual people and military material of the fighting force of Hamas.

That is Israel's goal.

Also, it's looking increasingly likely that there will be something of a re-occupation of Gaza, at least for the immediate future until some alternative governing entity will be found.

Note: I'm stating the goal without getting into whether it's a good idea or not, or even achievable or not.

I paid for Affinity Photo because of its reasonably priced perpetual license, being a great alternative to Adobe's tools for my work.

Canva's business model revolves around cloud based services, and subscription licensing, and I don't see how Canva will keep both pricing models available in the long term. The linked "pledge" is just a canned public relations soundbite during this merger process, until six months later when they pull the plug and mandate subscriptions.

Call me cynical, but I've seen this happen time and again. Parallels is another product I'd been using for ages until they switched to subscriptions.

> Ken didn’t know it when all this was happening (and it’s not at all obvious from the Apple prompts), but clicking “Allow” would not have allowed the attackers to change Ken’s password. Rather, clicking “Allow” displays a six digit PIN that must be entered on Ken’s device — allowing Ken to change his password. It appears that these rapid password reset prompts are being used to make a subsequent inbound phone call spoofing Apple more believable.
Can confirm, have 3 kids. Parenting doesn't have much to do with how kids turn out. The genetic factor is more important. Not just genes of the two parents, but also how they recombine and surface various traits. Best thing to do is to let the kid discover who they want to be. Observe and support their explorations.
Preferred way would be to make trains cheaper and more effective/safer than cars. But it's also the hard way.

Exactly. It’s not random. So let’s not exaggerate things please

> I'm really struggling to think of any scenario where the chaotic pattern of over-blending might produce a desirable result. Do you have any examples?

You’re deliberately misrepresenting my comment here.

You claimed that alpha blending is useless on the Saturn and I said it does have its edge cases but you need to stop thinking about the console as a 3D system. Sure, it was intended to compete with 3D systems but architecturally it’s really just a super powered 2D console.

This is why for pseudo-3D purposes, alpha blending doesn’t work well. But for 2D purposes it’s great.

Also I’d argue that the problem with 3D isn’t the alpha blending specifically but rather how order in which the Saturn renders and the use of quads.

> …APIs…

you keep talking about Saturns APIs but it wasn’t released with an SDK on launch (the PlayStation was, which is another reason behind its success with 3rd party studios). Saturns SDK came later, originally developers were expected to write assembly.

> And since the Saturn was always intended to be a 3D capable system

I doubt we’ll ever full know the truth as there are conflicting reports from people who were in Sega itself during genesis of the Saturn (pun intended).

We also know that Sega turned down Silicon Graphics (who later worked with Nintendo) and the reasons Sega turned them down is a topic of great speculation too.

There is so much folklore around the Saturn that it is hard to say anything for certain beyond the hardware architecture. And architecturally, speaking its 3D capabilities are kludge because Sega tried to hedge their bets with 2D as well.

This sub-thread came from someone specifically questioning a comment acdha had made about non-tailpipe emissions. To bring tailpipe emissions back up here is a bit of a non-sequitur.
x86 doesn't "need to die". long lasting designs that earned their keep and have proven are valuable. so from that standpoint, i agree with the premise.

the problem is that the article makes too much reliance on bad arguments such as "ISA differences were swept aside by the resources a company could put behind designing a chip". this is a dangerously bad argument. the fact that a company can afford to and is willing to keep x86 afloat and competitive with massive resources is not an argument for dismissal, but for its economic usefulness.

the value to a legacy ISA is real. but the cost is complexity. this complexity drives $, silicon area, power. period. in a even drag race, the simpler more efficient design would definitely win.

and a load-store architecture is simpler than a complex addressing scheme and will have more throughput per clock with less resources (design work, validation, $, area, power). a fixed or simple variable length opcode is always going to be simpler to implement than x86!

but on the other hand, a lot of those massive costs (NRE) are sunk costs. others are not.

so there's nothing wrong with x86 at the moment - it's still clearly the cheapest (due to scale) and fastest (definitely per/$) and excepting M2/M3 also fastest absolute per-core.

it certainly doesn't need to "die".

part of the advantage is inertia. and that's part of the disadvantage too. it's just barely starting to look like the trajectory is changing. but by the time the overall economics of ARM, RISC-V, etc. begin to overtake x86, the inertia and cruft will be negatively affecting them too.

things get old and die on their own. there's no stopping it. but in this case it doesn't need to be hastened and it won't be a "happy" moment when the changing of the guard does happen.

In the startup of my wife we came to that point. She recognized, if she doesn't start sales with cold calling and becoming excellent at it, no one else will.

She made the startup a success and sold it to a competitor.

But this took some years. First (B2B) customers said: Go away. In the end, everyone was on board.

This happens with everything you start, especially if there is no success. But success will take some years.

> A lot of leadership stuff is universal, but then a lot of it is also dependent on what's needed for the job, and a person's skills and leadership patterns may not be exactly what's needed for the job.

Leadership is what's needed for leadership jobs. It's in the title. All leadership is the same: inspire the troops, block the bullshit, elevate the good shit. How you do that changes by rank.

> The Peter Principle is that if you do a good job you get promoted, as you get promoted it gets harder, eventually you reach a point where your skills aren't enough to overcome the next level of difficulty increase.

The Peter Principle isn't about difficulty, it's about skill set. As you climb the ranks you need a different skill set. The job isn't harder, the job is different.

Up to 8M UK jobs at risk from AI unless government acts, finds IPPR
It shouldn’t be this hyped up but the first ai boom was because a computer could learn ‘something’ without explicit programming. It was too primitive and computers were not powerful enough; the scientists (like Minsky) were too optimistic about the growth of computer power as well. The 80s revival with knowledge systems wasn’t actually ever feasible as AGI; everyone I spoke to then in the field (I started uni begin of the end 80s AI winter) had been saying for many years it was a dead end.

So I feel outside the overhyping (some hype is warranted but this much?) could be less, this is different; it’s not a promise, I am chatting to my computer on my lap as if it was my human assistant; it gives me answers faster and usually better than most humans would. That’s simply not the same as we had in the previous instances. Knowledge systems did this too, but were encyclopedia’s; they couldn’t come up with stuff that wasn’t explicitly put in and categorized. You often controlled them by answering a tree structure of multiple choice screens (there are some nice episodes on the Computer Cronicles about this on Archive.org). Now you can have this knowledge base in your (vector) db, ask open questions in any language about it; it will answer human-like, lies/bluff and all.
> An act of terrorism met with a tenfold response in terrorism and violence is needless and cannot be condoned.

I don't think this is an accurate description. It wasn't "an act of terrorism". It was an invasion and jointly, a rocket attack, by a neighboring semi-state with a military, that has stated it will invade over and over again. And of course, the capture of 250 hostages.

This isn't a kind of one-off terror attack that was met with revenge for the sake of it. For the months after the initial invasion, Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israel, essentially shutting down the country for a few weeks, until they were forced to stop. Hamas militants were literally running around inside of Israel for two days.

No nation on Earth could afford to effectively cease functioning as rockets rained down on it, and as other parties like Hezbollah were threatening to widen the conflict to a far more serious attack as well.

> If the Palestinians stop defending themselves with terrorism would Israel play nice?

I can't answer that, but it's worth noting that during the 1990s there was a sizeable Israeli left that was pushing for peace, there were talks, there were accords that gave the Palestinians self-governance in the West Bank, etc. This was met with terrorism, with the express purpose of stopping the peace process.

It's also worth noting that Israel completely left Gaza in 2005, removing all its settlements there and the soldiers there. Gaza then elected Hamas, which immediately started shooting rockets at Israel.

So while I highly dislike Israel's right-wing government and extremism, and highly dislike the settlements, I don't think it's accurate to say that the terrorism is helping protect against anything. It comes from a worldview in which Israel will eventually be completely destroyed and the Palestinian will take over all the land.

Was back on Windows 3.1/DOS, it was mostly trial and error. Trying different commands because my Doom executable stopped working, then learning DIR etc. learning about /? or /help. Eventually understanding more and more bits - definitely kludging my way through it, occasionally finding books at the library on programming that were largely useless but you’d see some commands here and there that you could glean information from.

Eventually got Linux and that opened up a lot for me for learning. I spent a ton of time on the command line as it felt easier to navigate and do what I wanted to achieve. Eventually that led to building kernels, debugging failed builds, etc.

I don’t remember where, but somehow I got a copy of SoftIce and figured out breakpoints and hex editing enough to “crack” my copy of LJpegViewer (I had a key on a floppy somewhere, but I lost it).

All of these little excursions led to me slowly learning more. My first IDE was notepad.exe. My next was briefly one of the slightly fancier editors with HTML highlighting. Then I found pico, and eventually vim, and that’s been my daily for about 13 years now.

A lot of my childhood was doing things I didn’t understand on my computer, often breaking things, and learning to fix them. Poking at the registry with reckless abandon or telnetting cross country because modem’s manual had a list of BBS’s, and grabbing scrap computers from my middle school’s dumpsters.

Believe it or not, I have seen the same problem on an insurance website for a very large insurance company. The issue was that the developers were storing the rates in session variables and so when you open a new product in a separate tab with a different rate, it would overwrite the session variables with the rates for the newly opened product.

Then when the user went to the previous tab to purchase the product they ended up buying it at the rate for the product opened in the new tab.

It is amazing that this mistake wasn't caught for a long, long time.
