It fun that this question comes today, last night I was saying to myself that all audiobooks from audible sounded the same. But AWS TTS quality is bad so the closest would be play.ht, 11labs and lately open source voice craft and open voice

The main issue is the time and sentiment.

It shouldn't take long before someone takes openvoice and start taking books and tts them on a platform.

That's not true.

The majority of British lines are owned by OpenReach, which is a subsidiary of BT, which used to be run by the government, but was privatised back in the 80s.

But they have not been owned by the government in decades, and there are competitors who have run their own lines.
There are vanishingly few reasons why anyone wouldn't use a garbage collected language in modern software. I think a lot of the people using rust haven't realised how much this limits its utility. As a result of this, the language has been presented as much more widely applicable than it actually is.
Exploring the Possibilities of Online Teaching a Language
Indeed, I read the article which was utterly uninformative about what is going on.

Can you explain it?

As I understand it, Medicaid has waived all ongoing requirements for coverage due the pandemic, and people are now required to verify they still qualify. People who make too much will and do not qualify for Medicaid now need to purchase subsidized insurance on one of the markets.

Of course the article does noting to explain what "surprise procedural issues" means. IT seems that the word surprise is an entirely editorial insertion.
Based on KFF reporting, it seems that it just means anyone who didnt complete the renewal processes. This includes those that no longer qualify and therefore did not complete complete the renewal process. Of course there is valid concern that some of these people may still qualify and did not complete the paperwork, but it completely unclear how many that is. It could be 0.1% of the 11 million or 99%.

I've had the HTC Vive, bought a million games, done virtual desktop and then last year bought the Quest 3. The fact you can pick it up and get going without tethering to a computer or setting up base stations and see through it is amazing for €500.

Had a friend show me the Vision Pro and couldn't believe the cost and how similar it was to the Quest 3. I asked him if you can install Steam etc and he's like nah... ok so you paid €4500 to look at a dinosaur tech demo and do a virtual desktop.

It just doesn't make sense why anyone would buy one over the Quest other than to show people in public they can afford a 5k device and have people looking at them

Why were they "installing" stuff on your laptop instead of, for example, using Docker, or even better, Nix, which are tools that solve this entirely?

If you prepare for a case like this then it's easy. If you get caught off guard (like I imagine most people will) it's hard.

I have an unhealthy habit of switching between FOSS and Apple a few times a year (don't ask) and generally it is pretty easy. The most annoying thing to me is Photos export, especially if you don't have access to a Mac. You can't download your whole library from the online environment, there's a 1000 image limit per shot.

edit: Also I have not found a good way to export from Apple Notes so I have a habit of typing into .md files from the terminal.

edit2: Gave it a search and tried Exporter. Duh. Works great!
On a slightly related note, does anyone know of good articles written about the false dichotomy of "East" vs "West"?
I think the "Leichenschmaus" is underappreciated, both for the communal aspect and also simply for how good it feels to eat good food after the emotionally demanding funeral.

I told my wife, that if I die before her, to cheap out on the coffin and the tombstone and to spend the money on a fine meal instead.
I doubt security is the matter everyone is concerned with but rather the quality of tooling and developer experience.

It is, of course, difficult to convey to developers who only experienced C and C++ build systems, or Ruby tooling and brittleness, or Python way of managing dependencies, or setting up the packaging when using Java, that fast and easy to use solutions do not come from trade-offs but from just better ways of doing so - using cargo and Rust or dotnet and C# is night and day difference compared to options listed above.

I said it here in the past and will say it again: it's not that Rust (or .NET for that matter) are that good, it's a lot of other popular languages and platforms are that bad at one or another aspect (or many at the same time), that make it sufficiently painful to never tolerate a downgrade when you worked with a tool that offers better all-around experience.

> it made me feel love for the elder women, for how special they treated their job that day. I want my friends and family to remember me by the good food they had at my funeral.

Would definitely encourage you to ask them about what they made and how. Pick up the skills and insist that your own friends and family are treated to the best food at any future funerals you attend. That's the best way to ensue someone will do the same for you, even if the elder women have themselves died by that point.
But since you need it for the AppStores and your subscriptions, Apple has an interest in keeping it functional.

Ask HN: Where have all the large monitors gone?
Back in about 2016, I bought a 4K 40" display from one of those no-name South Korean brands on ebay (the AMH A399U), for just under $500. Great monitor, served me well for years, couldn't bring it with me in my last move.

Fast forward to 2024, and I'd like a replacement (and ideally after a decade there'd be an option with a higher-than-60Hz refresh rate, and/or higher-than-300nits brightness). On doing some research there is... very little like that on the market.

4K displays have all shrunk to 32 inches (or even 27), which I find too small for a large desk setup. All the >32 inch displays are in weird widescreen aspect ratios, and most of them sacrifice significant vertical resolution. Or one can go up to 43"+, where all the panels seem to be repruposed TVs, many of them with text rendering issues (no 4:4:4 chroma), and/or OLEDs with text rendering issues + burn-in risk, which makes them kind of suspect for coding work.

Is there any surviving (even off-brand) source of 38"+ 4K displays in a standard 16:9 aspect ratio?
Not OP. It's more than just ritual in Balkan cultures, it's part of the culture if one can say as much - because the religion is so intwined with normal Balkan culture.
I think UI can be hard because it is hard to be objective about it. It is critical work, but at the same time if someone came out of nowhere, totally re-arranged all the UI elements, and was just, "trust me bro, this is better", i would be extremely doubtful.

cloud based, calling home, telemetry, video/radio surveillance, logistics exfiltration. Pretty much same arguments as in case of Chinese port cranes sending video feeds of sensitive shipments/port operations back to China, except on a global scale with high margin of deployments in security scenarios (police/fire/rescue/inspection/military).

One example is current Ukrainian situation. China gets a feed of who/where/how/what and how successful from supposedly civilian hardware.

The thing that scared me recently was two updates that gave me new encryption keys. At first I trusted apple and wrote down the new key. But I became suspicious after the second update and checked online. It seems like it's happening to others, so I used the recommended command-line tool to verify my new encryption key and it didn't verify. Apparently it works after disabling and enabling encryption, but
I'm just keeping it disabled for now.
> Were you not precompiling your regex's in the older code? That would be a bug.

I never heard of this before. Perl has legendary fast regexen and I never heard of this feature. Does Java do it? I don't think so, and the regexes are fast enough in my experience. Can you name a language when regexen are precompiled?

I tend to recommend that people ignore any recommendation to start with a specific Zachtronics game (unless they're getting the recommendation from someone who knows them personally). Different flavors of nerds seem to have vastly different preferences for the games, so it's probably much better to take a few minutes and check how interesting the core mechanic of each one is to you and pick based on that.

Personally I enjoy working with electronics and assembly, and that translated to me really liking TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O. Meanwhile Opus Magnum wasn't anywhere near as interesting to me and felt like kind of a slog.
Please don’t erase Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning out of Tesla’s history. They were the ones with that idea of making EVs sexy and then Elon came along and slowly ‘manoeuvred’ them out. He wanted to be known as the founder.

I think vbezhenar's point was simply that the recovery e-mail at a registrar should not depend on a domain managed by that same registrar. The registrar can update MX records.
Yeah keep your email provider and iCloud provider separate. For password management, use something like 1Password, and you got your main “identities” separated. In case of losing access to either of them, the impact will be relatively contained.
React for example has a solid mathematical foundation and that's why it provides really good, clean abstractions. Spring is just a bunch of annotations and if you haven't done it for half of your life it really isn't clear why I have to write an empty! class that has 6 annotations on it, just to get the plumbing right for configuration. Smells like what I'm doing there should just be a function instead but maybe that's also partly Java being Java.

Yes it's very mature etc but at the end of the day it's just a collection of stuff that evolved over time. It's a framework written by developers, not mathematicians; a BeanPropertyRowMapper is likely something that happened on accident, react's algebraic effects are not.

Maybe it's not a fair comparison because react is super slim and spring (boot) is huge but when using it you have to work your way through endless baeldung tutorials to figure out which annotations to put onto your methods with no clear design. I also found asp.net easier to work with.

Reason it reminds me of jQuery is because it's everywhere. A coworker of mine just wrote some websocket code that should be really great and reusable but it uses spring annotations extensively so you can never use his code without spring. But it doesn't really matter because if he wants to reuse the code in another java project, spring will likely be there. And that's a level of hodgepodge that jQuery achieved back in the day too.

Guess what I want to say is that not all of web is "badly thought out" like the above poster insinuated.
> Save the vanity for Facebook. We're trying to solve problems here.

Are you sure that's what you want to say to me as a closing comment? That's a terrible conclusion, and it paints you in a very unflattering light.
So the options are

A. Break up the companies, assume mergers and acquisitions don't happen, consolidations never happens and that someone will be defiant of the law in the public interest at a crucial point

B. Change the law

It's important to note that AT&T was broken up and there once was many mobile carriers and there were many surveillance and spy programs going on during that time unabated and then they just bought each other up.

So instead of wishing on a hope and a dream that some invisible hands will orchestrate unexplainable market magic, let's just change the law. There's actual historical evidence of that working.
I was mistaken—yes it would be possible to upgrade to a 1TB NAND. I'm going to guess it wasn't cost-effective to source or it was hard to find an iCloud-locked/activation-locked 1TB iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max motherboard.
he says fentanyl is easy to stop, so obviously sarcasm
Agreed.

Actually an anecdote on switching, my father in law bought an iPhone in a pawn shop. It was logged in with someone else’s iCloud account. He just used that until he dropped dead. We had no idea until I had to clean his phone out. My mother doesn’t even know what iCloud is. Literally total ignorance must be the default for everyone these days.

I’ve done the random switch thing as well as a test case. But to Microsoft. It took me a day to export all photos from Photos.app and into OneDrive and that was with a Mac (105Gb). And of course you lose all the edits you did if you export the originals.
Apparently anything that offers a type system beyond Go's.
To this day, I still get random "Enter your password to continue using iCloud" push notifications on my iPhone with no relevant action to trigger such a notification.

My Apple ID uses a unique password, I keep a recovery key, I don't have its login credentials saved anywhere, and it's a dev account; so I have my LLC's DUNS number attached to it. My devices are the only ones listed in my settings portal.

I have no idea why I get these notifications, lol.

UHG/Optum is just as bad...the M&A due diligence has never been decent, more of a checkmark than anything. There is a bad legacy of hiring unqualified people who are not even US citizens. The M&A should have caught the obvious control gaps, it didn't because it's a political mess with nothing but a bunch of people needing CISO or VP titles. With all the CISOs, VPs and Distinguished Engineers, any one of them or their teams should pull together a decent risk assessment for M&As.
Good point! I will look at my configuration for that.
If the reasoning is, ISP need to be $15 so everyone has internet, and everyone gets free internet at the library, that argument does not make sense.

Debugging and Reworking a PCB
Doesnt seem to hurt Chinese consumers much.
When I debug a program, the first thing I do is to compile with "-O0", very nice to remove "-mrelax-all" as the default for -O0, because "-mrelax-all" increases both VM size and the file size.
"It would make the architect the boss because he would tell you what needs to happen next."

But he would have no formal power and there would be no underlings. The other people would voluntaritly accept his leadership based on his skills. (Or they would not and leave). So he cannot treat them bad just because he feels like it.

That is a different approach to power and I have seen it working in the real world (think of the friends example).

But yes, I also have not seen it working stable and consistent enough to base all of society on it.

So the explicit anarchistic projects I have seen, definitely had (informal) power structures.

So I really love the consensus approach of anarchism when it is working. It is really awesome working together with people who all do it because they want to, not because they have to. But the hypocrosy regarding power is turning me off. Because in reality there are no true equals and also in anarchistic projects there are people having way more power than others. Which I don't think is bad, but it is bad pretending this isn't the case.
Did you try other providers such as 11labs or open source like voice craft or openvoice
I'm referring to the process of switching where my passkeys are stored to a different place. E.g. moving from them being stored by Apple to them being stored by Google or any other provider.
It’s amazing that I literally can’t tell if you think legalization or prohibition is the utopian and deadly policy based on your post.
Open source software is only really widely successful in areas where it’s a cost center rather than the end product, though.
Your reasoning seems a bit tangled. In one sense, "anarchism" is just the absence of government, so is often used to describe the state where a government has collapsed and various groups are vying violently for power. But they aren't trying to create an anarchist society with an absence of hierarchy, but to simply reinstate the power pyramid with themselves on top.

As for an architect somehow becoming a boss because they are the only one who knows what to do, I can't even imagine this happening. Anarchists would walk out instead of being bossed around. Lazing around can be acceptable in anarchism, since maximising production (with most of it taken by the rich anyway) isn't the goal.

> Rust's strength in ML

Most of ML frameworks that I know are implemented in Python and C++. I tried looking at ML in Rust a few years ago and didn't find anything useful. Has it changed?
Only tangentially related, but I have been trying to enroll for Apple's developer program for almost 3 months now.

Understanding what the problem is is essentially impossible. Going to a physical store doesn't help, calling their customer service has them telling you to go to www.apple.com/support (???), and writing for support has them rotate you through 4 different, and decreasingly useful, representatives.

The last response I got I was told the issue had to be handled by yet a different representative and it would take an "indefinite amount of time". Which may be a nice way of them saying it's never going to happen.

It really is demoralizing when you realize there is nothing you can do really, even in cases when you have done nothing wrong.

Not impressed to say the least.
> Go had google driving adoption

This is commonly said but I think it's only correct in the sense that Google is famous and Google engineers started it.

Google never drove adoption; it happened organically.
Good scripting support is probably the way to go for Rust game development anyway in order to achieve high iteration/idea testing velocity. We could have a script engine that memory-manages various in-game objects and the scripts call into Rust functions to do the heavy lifting. Those Rust functions will typically take things by reference from the script engine so that memory-management is mostly a non-issue.

To be clear, the reason why Python is so popular for data wrangling (including ML/AI) is not due to the language itself. It is due to the popular extensions (libraries) exclusively written in C & C++! Without these libraries, no one would bother with Python for these tasks. They would use C++, Java, or .NET. Hell, even Perl is much faster than Python for data processing using only the language and not native extensions.

And it will still take time to come, the whole engineering problem is how to introduce value types, make classes that are clearly value types like Optional, turn into value types, while at the same time not breaking the endless amount of JAR files in production, when upgrading to a JVM with value types support enabled.

They would get it sooner by breaking the ecosystem, and as Python 3, Java 9, .NET Core have shown, not everyone would be racing to adopt the new shiny thingy.
This also spooked me. I’m a former security professional—there are few good reasons Apple should be doing this, and it smells of a targeted attack. If I had a zero-day exploit to steal your data, this is what it would look like.

In the other hand, if Apple suddenly found out that a good chunk of encrypted volumes weren’t actually encrypted / the key was recoverable by an offline attacker, this would also explain the facts.

But the lack of explanation from Apple is troubling.
