I don't think anything is much of a deterrent, because that overestimates the extent to which criminals are rational agents.

But there is a massive difference between life imprisonment and the death penalty – with life imprisonment, there is always the possibility of some day getting out due to a commutation, a change in the law, etc. Whereas, once someone is executed, they are dead.

>Author here and there's nuance here but as a rule of thumb data size is a decent enough proxy.

It isn't though.

What matters is the memory footprint of the algorithm during execution.

If you're doing transformation that take constant time per item regardless of data size, sure, go for a GPU. If you're doing linear work you can't fit more than 24gb on a desktop card and prices go to the moon quickly after that.

I'm not familiar with the history and details. I'm for decriminalization of drugs but I think that only helps if you also provide meaningful help in getting free of addiction.

I'm for decriminalization because if you can't admit you have a problem and need help without being charged with a crime, it's a barrier to getting clean. I'm also generally for "It's your body. Put what you want in it."

I am not criticizing this change in policy. I am also for holding people accountable for their behavior and not excusing bad behavior generally based on "Poor baby. Has an addiction."

We don't say chemo patients are excused from behaving appropriately, though we do make allowances for the fact they are probably grumpy and not at their most diplomatic because they are miserable. I believe addiction frequently has an unrecognized medical component and people are literally self medicating, often for an issue that doctors have failed to identify. I believe if you find the underlying cause, they can stop.

Anyway, just trying to give context here. Decriminalization should not be code for "Let's let assholes claim the rules don't apply to them at all and excuse all their awful behavior."

There was a great docu-drama on the BBC a long time ago called something alone the lines of "If Drugs Were Legal" [0]. They had a not-very-interesting drama alongside a list of experts such as Prof David Nutt discussing the potential legal framework.

What I found fascinating about the documentary is the vision of what a complete overhaul would look like. Not half-measures like they've done in BC & Portugal.

The thing that annoys the public the most is the crime. We need to bankrupt dealers, purify supply and then we can focus on getting people off the streets when using.

None of this can happen until we shake off the current policies rooted in puritanicalism.

OpenAI’s public advocacy centers around selling a particular, highly controversial image of what the salient dangers are and are not, which (purely coincidentally) aligns with the policy advocacy of erect barriers to new and emergent competition in favor of a narrow set of large incumbents.

OpenAI has a lot to gain by selling a particular view of the dangers of this technology, orthogonal to the accuracy of that view.

Russia is a crime syndicate masquerading as a country. It's just incompatible with our standards and values and if they joined NATO they would have driven a wedge into it.

We have enough problems as it is with Hungary pivoting to Russia and Turkey turning autocratic. Russia joining would have destroyed NATO. Which is probably why they wanted to join. I doubt it was ever sincere.

I do agree the MIC makes the US do very bad things but at least we in Europe are allies by choice, not at gunpoint like the former Warsaw pact. It's no wonder that counties prefer our side to joining their sphere of influence.

Whisperx is great for English, and there's minimal cleanup to do at the end. (Diarization makes it take much longer, and sometimes you get a bunch of repeated phrases, but transcript-only is good.)

But for other languages, especially those with a variety of dialects (like Arabic), the output can be really hard to read. Interestingly, gpt-3.5-turbo can turn a garbled Arabic call transcript into a decent English summary. I guess this is due to the amount of redundancy/repetition in phone calls.

I wonder whether anyone knows of something better than Whisper Large v2/v3 for Arabic ASR?

I had a look recently, and what I found was:

- Among published multilingual models (i.e. ignoring English-only models), it seems that Whisper Large has the lowest (best) overall WER (word error rate).

- Although Facebook published a multilingual model (mms-1b-all) that outperforms Whisper on many less common languages, its Arabic WER on standard benchmarks is much worse than that of Whisper, so I don't think it's worth trying on my data.

- There's a paper from ~6 months ago by some researchers who claimed to get slightly better performance than Whisper vanilla, but their code is not public, and I can't find any blog posts or articles talking about using their work.

- Googling turned up some attempts to finetune mms-1b-all with Arabic, but nothing I found included any WER data, so I assume these attempts didn't work out.
At an old job I was responsible for blending custom alcoholic drinks before we sent it to bottling. One required stevia which when you opened the bag it came in would float into the air everywhere (it’s a super fine powder) and being young and stupid we didn’t wear any masks or anything. For the next couple days you’d have a constant taste of it in your mouth / nose that reminded me of sweetarts candy.
As I mention in another comment, I actually do now use Whisper. In fact, I just spent the last few hours using Whisper and GPT to write some drafts.

Whisper has a very serious downside: It often ignores quite a bit of relevant audio, and I dealt with this many times in the last few hours, to the point where I'm considering finding an alternative.

See this report, for example:

The cellphone is the one that concerns me personally the most. Even then I have locked that down as much as is viable. No needless apps. Deifnetly no social media. But there is still just the fact a locked baseband processor, operating system that you cannot fully verify and that mobile towers literally need to vaguely track you to function.

I also don't drive (never have) or have any loyalty programs. Only pay in cash unless forced otherwise. That said here is Australia some stores just use facial recognition - so that sort of defeats that a little. They paused it for a little while a few years back but I believe it is back in action now.

"Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police"

IMO, stevia can have a superior flavor profile to sugar for certain specific use cases. I really like it in ice teas because the sweetness comes on slow and that makes the drink seem more refreshing. Also, I can't taste any aftertaste because the tea leaves themselves produce a mild, pleasant bitter aftertaste which is conveniently paired with the longer-lasting sweetness of stevia.

That said I can see why stevia would not work for Coca Cola because you don't want the underlying bitterness of caffeine to hit you first without any sweetness. Coke needs to hit you fast. The thing about coke is that it's all about the first sip. It's as much about flavor as it is about freshness. The first sip must overwhelm your senses and energize you.

With ice teas, on the other hand, the flavors don't have to come on straight away because you're looking for freshness first and foremost. I think the pleasantness of it is mostly about cooling and soothing. You don't want it to hit you too fast; so a slow-onset flavor profile works better.
I said "more interop" is coming..

There is a significant amount of interop that already exists, that folks are looking past or just already taken for granted (which is actually fine too!). While on a Windows machine using Edge, you can save a passkey for your Google account to your 1Password vault, and use it to sign in to that Google account on Chrome on Mac (if you have signed in to the same 1Password account on the machines). Or you could use a passkey you saved to your iPhone / iCloud to sign in to the Google account on ChromeOS. This is the level of interop that exists today. This did not just happen magically - all these companies (and more) worked hard to make it happen.

Also speaking for Google accounts, passkeys are an additional option for users. Using a passkey is not preventing you from keeping any other sign in method on your account that you feel has less of the lockin risk.

As someone who doesn't live in an area with a similar liberal law regarding drug use the article was very confusing to me. Perhaps you can help me understand.

The article keeps talking about "problematic" drug use, but I don't understand what that means. When is drug use problematic and when is it unproblematic? They claim that from now on they'll be able to arrest people who disturb the peace, but then aren't there laws already that already make it illegal to disturb the peace, irrespective of drug use? Is there a special kind of problematic behaviour that is not OK when consuming drugs, but is OK otherwise?? Having no experience with the situation, this all feels quite strange.

Same thing with hospitals: can't they just restrict the unmonitored use of drugs within medical facilities rather than some ambiguous notion of problematic use?

Overall, reading the article makes me feel that some people don't like seeing crackheads consume in public (which I understand), and since these people vote, a law is passed that had no head nor tail. I don't see how the law addresses the root of any issue.

what do you mean by image based version control?

i mean the lack of version control inside the image can be considered a problem, as you have to connect to external tools go get it, lest you save a copy of the image as a version (which is what i would call image based version control), which that is not practical at all.

but that is not what i meant. i was talking about the problem that when i develop an application in pharo 11, but then i want to move the development to pharo 12, that amounts to a lot of work, so i don't do it but i'll stick to pharo 11 until my app is done.

Nobody knows.

Tesla does not disclose the information needed to make a proper apples to apples comparison to the public or researchers. They do not disclose the number of miles or the number of accidents, let alone the conditions or circumstances that would be needed to account for bias or confounding variables and determine the corresponding comparable metric. Of the reports they make to NHTSA [1] which are public by default, they declare the vast majority of contained information as confidential business information and their lawyers force NHTSA redact it.

A company kills a bunch of people and nobody is allowed to know how safe it is because that is confidential. That alone should worry you.

But, that is not all. Tesla does not know either. If you look at the reports you will see that of the over 1,000 crashes, Tesla declined to investigate to determine if anybody was injured in ~95% of cases. Of the reported confirmed fatalities, Tesla telemetry missed the majority of them. I will say that again, they can not even detect the majority of fatalities while their system is active. Their data collection procedures are so grossly inadequate that you can not even determine the upper bound on the fatality rate, let alone more nuanced safety measures.

To quote the safety investigation mentioned in the article [2]: "Tesla largely receives data for crashes only with pyrotechnic deployment, which are a minority of police reported crashes. A review of NHTSA’s 2021 FARS and Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) finds that only 18 percent of police-reported crashes include airbag deployments." Tesla bases their safety statistics on data collection conditions that under-report actual crash rates by a factor of 500% on average.

The statistics Tesla releases do not even attempt to account for the glaring discrepancies and under-reporting that is clearly visible in their fatality reports and data collection conditions and instead intentionally state the under-reporting that benefits them as simple fact. They are intentionally overstating product safety based on data that any competent professional knows is faulty and inadequate to push product. That level of misconduct is criminal.
