It’s because in the latest labor report that came out this week, it’s mentions that 55% of the workforce are self employed in India. These are mainly small scale entrepreneurs running restaurants and small shops. Educated folk are usually looking for employment with medium and large scale businesses which there aren’t enough of yet. The good news is startup unicorns in India are exploding, I think there were 100 $1 billion+ companies in India as of 2022, so the situation might improve.
It's a direct quote from somebody who donated to the project, found in the first paragraph of the article:

I do that already with the chatgpt mobile app, but not with my own voice.

I'd like it if there were more (and non-american) voice options, but I don't think I'd ever want it to be my voice I'm hearing back.
Perhaps the small anisotropy that is observed in cosmic microwave background observations imprints to the dark energy that accelerates expansion. I haven't kept up on the modern state of the art.
My impression is energy density matters significantly less with these giant ships.
I bought one after seeing it mentioned many times here and have been... less than impressed. It doesn't really seem to regulate temperature at all. It keeps the drink warm for roughly the same time as a standard contigo mug, but doesn't bring the temp down even a little bit from where it is prior to being poured. Tested using a thermapen.
Wouldn't you expect this to be obvious when you look at gender or sexual orientation of patients? HPV vaccines have been widely available since ~2010, so we should expect to see this trend drop for anyone born after ~1995.
> AI voices let you lower the barrier to entry, but they won’t replace most voice actors because the higher you go up the stack, the more the demand for real actors will also go up

That is as absurd as saying LLMs are increasing the demand for writers.

> because AI voices aren’t anywhere near being able to replace real voice actors.

Even if that were true—which it is not; the current crop is more than adequate to read long texts—it assumes the technology has reached its limit, which is equally absurd.
Of particular note is that there are a ton of bears in Romania, much more than in other European countries, with something like 60% of all European brown bears. [0] Glad to see that someone is attempting to preserve this.

National parks were invented by the USA and Yellowstone was the first one in 1872. It is also very large.
I worked on those in the mid-80's. Very easy to program (we used PDS-ADEPT), but the Burroughs megaframe would always have issues.
This universe is an imagination of the cosmic mind behind which there is immutable conscious just like our dreams are imagination of our mind. Just like our dream, the universe is simulated inside the cosmic mind only.

At the subtlest level, we're one with that cosmic consciousness. Realization is experiencing that oneness (aham brahmasmi).

Just like in lucid dreams, we become aware that we're inside a dream and not a reality. upon awakening, one realizes the dream-like nature of this world. Then only, one becomes free from suffering which is caused by identification (attachment) to false (imagined) entities.

Only with experience the realization dawns and the mind is freed from its ignorance; intellectual understanding can neither brings such experience nor can break the ignorance of the mind.
Saw this on nix, which was using a compromised version in the unstable channel, I hope not too many systems are affected.
Professions disappear, it's a natural side effect of progress. Stablehands aren't really that common anymore, because most people drive cars instead of horses.

I really hope we can deprecate a whole bunch of professions related to fossil fuels, including coal miners and oil drillers etc.

I sympathise with the people working in those professions, I do, but times change and professions come and go, and I don't buy the argument that we should stop inventing new stuff because it might outcompete people.

As for positive uses of this technology, it might be used to immortalise a voice actor. For example Sir David Attenborough probably won't be around forever, but thanks to this technology, his iconic voice might be!

Heard a podcast with one of Germany leading nutritionist advocating for banning energy drinks completely. Sugary beverages targeting teenagers filled with chemicals and caffeine and sold in large containers with zero health benefits – "why are they even allowed?" he asked rhetorically (paraphrasing).

You could ask the same question for any of the nova class 4 products[0].

Reduction of SSB consumption among adolescents and young adults may serve as a potential strategy to alleviate the growing burden of EO-CRC.

Yours was the third submission of the article. You can tell this from the item IDs, as well as pages like https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=512pixels.net.

What's confusing is that when we re-up a submission, the timestamps gets adjusted on the front page and the /item page, i.e. the thread for that story.

That's an artifact of HN's re-upping system. There are past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... Sorry for the confusion—I know it's weird but the alternative turns out to be even more confusing (e.g. "why is post X on the front page even though its timestamp says 2 days ago and it only has 5 points?") and we've never figured out how to square that circle.
I think the correct approach is to understand the SQL that your ORM is using. If you can't have it create the correct query than roll your own. I think most of the trouble people get in with ORMs is not taking the time to understand the SQL that it creates and using it incorrectly as a result.
It depends. Something like 50% of the $1 billion startups in India are started by IIT alumni.
You can imagine the balloon’s curved surface geometry without assuming that it is embedded into a 3D space. This is what Riemann discovered in the 19th century. Such a non-embedded space is called a manifold. In the case of the balloon, it’s simply a non-Euclidian two-dimensional space. A third dimension doesn’t enter into the picture in that formulation.

Four-dimensional spacetime is considered such a manifold. Its three-dimensional space “slices” are predicted to expand with time by general relativity (first predicted by Alexander Friedmann in 1922), and actual observations have confirmed those predictions.
The funning thing is, people I know who have a Volt love their cars. Haven't tried one myself. My family has a couple of paid of Toyota gas vehicles that are 8+ years old and will probably live longer than we will.
The lightness with which you treat forcing tens of thousands of people to change their career is absurd. Indie games are hardly suffering for a lack of voice acting, even if you only look at it from a market perspective and ignore that voice acting is a creative interpretation and not simply reading the words the way the director wants.

Yes, we should avoid using it because it will upend the lives of a significant amount of artists for the primary benefit of "some indie games will have more voice acting and big game companies will be able to save money on voice actors". That's not worth it, how could you think it is?
Safety through obscurity and weirdness! If you disable ifunc, like any sensible person, this backdoor disables itself.
To clarify, I was trying to say that both

- the julia runtime does a good job competing with sbcl with regard to interactive code generation. I'm not familiar enough with sbcl (or julia, really) to rank one over the other -- but from what I have seen, they're in the same ballpark.

- julia feels like a lisp to me, due to many features of the language and how much it emphasizes repl based development. I can respect that others may not feel the same -- it's a subjective matter.

I'm not heavily invested in either -- I just think they're both nifty.
> openssh does not directly use liblzma. However debian and several other distributions patch openssh to support systemd notification, and libsystemd does depend on lzma.

It looks to be limited to Linux systems that are running certain patches. macOS and BSD seem unaffected?
Yeah - pessimistically, the upper class won't vote for it because they don't want to pay more taxes and they don't raise their kids anyway.

The middle class should vote for it, but they won't because the men can simply be absent fathers by being "career-focused", and our ultra-conservative midpoint will still mostly frame this as making taxpayers pay for poor black parents to not work, which is a double-whammy to racists - more nonwhite babies _and_ the parents can be "welfare queens".

And obviously corporations won't like anything that implies their workers aren't just robotic cogs who are society's problem outside of the ages of 18 and 40.
> I feel we are under qualified to speak with conviction about anything else's level of consciousness

You don't need to feel that ... that's the truth!

There is not a human being alive on the planet at the moment who can explain consciousness.

Not even Chalmers.

Common Lisp has DISASSEMBLE built-in to the language standard. You can take any function, even standard library functions, and inspect their disassembly.

SBCL goes further with two cool features:

1. It annotates the disassembly with your Lisp code. Sort of like godbolt, you can see how every line/chunk of your Lisp function gets translated to machine code.

2. It annotates the disassembly with profiler results. You can see the exact instructions the CPU is stalled at/hitting the most, directly inline in the disassembly.

This (and more) is all interactive and built-in. No additional installs. No additional tooling. No "re-run in debug mode".

These kinds of things make SBCL a really appealing choice for even extremely low-level programming.
I accept your concession.

The article mentions database portability as an advantage of ORMs, and I agree - to me that is basically the only real advantage to ORMs. The article also mentions that database portability is not a very compelling advantage, since lots of applications don't actually need that, which I also agree with.

Personally I just pick either PostgreSQL or SQLite depending on my use case (and they're different enough that there is always one obvious choice) and just interface with them directly. Hasn't served me wrong yet.

"It is our responsibility to chose the right tool for the job."

That perspective doesn't work well for database products, in my opinion. There is a huge pressure for databases to evolve with your business and applications and to adapt to whatever your throw at it.

Swapping out a database product is less like changing tools and more like changing a foundation. You can't do it every time a new problem arises.

That's not to say you can't use a few different products if that makes sense. But that has its complications.

They aren't there because Shenzen urban planers have higher IQ than room temperature in Celsius. That doesn't mean most Americans travel huge distances daily.

> I'm not arguing people need 1,000km range, but personally I wouldn't buy a car without at least 150+mi range for a non-road trip car given the realities of the city I live in. At least monthly I drive >100mi round trip and would like some amount of range extra in there, as the destination doesn't yet have charging. And I'm pretty light on driving!

Again, the average trip in the US is less than 20km. So that means that the majority of people living in America would be totally fine with a Renault Zoe, Dacia Spring, Renault 5 or equivalent vehicle for most of their trips. Hell, many will be fine in a Citroen Ami.
I've been checking out Bluesky the last 10 days or so. It definitely seems like a better way to organize social media.

Being able to select which algorithms, moderation, data hosting, and interface app... all operating on the same fabric... this is the way.

It's probably (hopefully) only a matter of time, and coalescing around a protocol.
Lot's of useful features?

You can join data when needed, proper transactions, schemas where you need schemas.

For example you start with a basic (key, json) table. Once you begin to stabilise your schema, add columns generated from your json objects, now you can get proper joins, indexes, validations, on said columns.

This is the first time anyone's ever explained Urbit in an even vaguely comprehensible way. It always seemed like a ridiculous, grandiose exercise in ideology-first development to me, similar to the eye-scanner crypto orb.

for people with credit over 800 the default rate must be extremely low

otherwise I wouldn't have this credit rating and the bank wouldn't trust me with over $100,000 credit limit combined over all of my credit cards

Is there a benefit of Mongo for that over just Postgres with JSONB columns? You're still storing JSON in Postgres but you'd get the relational aspects too for things like users having many forms, billing and account relationships etc.

Pros (imo): Daily essentials not-yet commodified, can access amazing produce for cheap. Geopolitically stable, crime is mostly petty or white collar. Nature.

Cons (imo): no progressive tax rate, effective ~50% tax on income unless you want to do tax evasion (Romanian past-time), very likely to die on the road as public transit is in a state of disrepair, choice of healthcare between expensive and inefficient private sector, or a public sector where you have to bribe your way to not contracting infections while getting treated for something else.

> openssh does not directly use liblzma. However debian and several other distributions patch openssh to support systemd notification, and libsystemd does depend on lzma.

The systemd notification protocol could have been as simple as just writing a newline to a pipe, but instead you have to link to the libsystemd C library, so now security-critical daemons like openssh have additional dependencies like liblzma loaded into their address space (even if you don't use systemd as PID 1), increasing the risks of supply chain attacks. Thanks, systemd.

We Configured DBT for Vector Databases
After launching our MVP late last year, one of the most consistent feedback we got was around our transformations function where users complained about the clunkiness and the steep learning curve. After extensive interviews with our beta users, we came to the realization that over 90% of users had some experience using DBT or were using DBT within their data organizations.

Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced: crypto-funded researchers grapple with FTX collapse
The universe is everything. There's no outside the universe, since whatever that "outside" was would also be part of our universe. It's not empty space, since that too would be part of the universe. There is no edge of the universe since that would imply that there is something beyond that edge. In scientific terms, the universe is homogeneous and isotropic.

We've proved the universe itself is getting bigger, which means that yesterday it was smaller and the realization of that fact was how the big bang theory came to be.

There are lots of resources out there if you want to build an intuition around how a universe that's everything can get larger without needing something to expand into.
Beware Scaling on AWS in Early Days
During my first month on AWS, I used AWS Batch a lot.

AWS decided to bill me mid-month (for more than I utilized I should add) even though the cycle ends on the 31st.

The transaction failed. Instead of contacting me to resolve the issue, AWS completely locked me out of the account. Card is also now locked due to "fraud."

I've been trying to resolve this for a week now (closer to 3 weeks if you include quota-related tickets). It's Friday, and I have a demo with a Fortune 100 company next week. In order to get results for this demo, I need to run a lot of Batch jobs - not great.

I shudder to think about what would happened if this had been a launch with paid customers.

From their perspective, I get that crypto miners probably sign up and cancel their credit cards, but I was just using the cloud as intended. I had multiple tickets related to resource quotas that explained why I was using the cloud.

Having gone through almost ten rounds of the TTS Arena, XTT2 has tons of artifacts that instantly make it sound non-human. OpenVoice doesn't.

It wouldn't surprise me if people recognize different algorithms and purposefully promote them over others, or alter the page source with a userscript to see the algorithm before listening and click the one they're trying to promote. Looking at the leaderboard, it's obvious there's manipulation going on, because Metavoice is highly ranked but generates absolutely terrible speech with extremely unnatural pauses.

Elevenlabs was scarily natural sounding and high quality; the best of the ones I listened to so far. Pheme's speech overall sounds really natural, but has terrible sound quality, which is probably why it's ranked so well. If Pheme could be higher quality audio, it'd probably match Elevenlabs.

I still don't understand why people believe that abstracting away something as important as your data store is a good idea. They quickly run into performance problems that are quite difficult to fix.

It's funny that the same developers that try to avoid vendor lock-in don't realize they've locked themselves into an ORM forever.

Plus, SQL isn't that hard. And as a backend person, you should be able to visualize your data model anyway. A SQL datatbase is just a bunch of planes, for the most part, and the queries are how you intersect them...more or less.
