But it's clearly not her voice right? The version that's been on the app for a year just isn't. Like, it clearly intending to be slightly reminiscent of her, but it's also very clearly not.

> it means a histogram that is not in line with the expected probability (assuming n is large enough)

Oh I see so you deny the idea that carrying out the same quantum experiment could result in a very unlikely outcome.

> Ok. But there is no classical effect where quantum randomness is observed.

c

> I made that assumption because you called science a religion (which I still disagree about).

I did not. I said science is based on religious beliefs about the underlying nature of reality. Namely that it is constant and follows laws.

> We can use the probability distributions we find in nature to build things

Are we talking engineering or science?

> The claim is that it is extremely unlikely to do so, just like it is extremely unlikely that my hot cup of water will get hotter in a cold room.

Then how are you getting your histograms to always match?

> Ok, and? Your claim was that it was axiomatic. If scientists have departed from this idea, it was not axiomatic or religious. Scientists also parted from Newtonian gravity. What point are you making here.

Well science originally was a belief that the universe was like an automaton, following predictable laws deterministically. Today that is not the case, which means that the universe does not observe deterministic laws, which is what the comment I replied to insinuated. You seem to have correctly given up on this, but still express a belief

> This is completely false. The brain does not operate at the atomic level.

It really depends on what you mean by 'operates'. Potassium/Sodium ions are fundamental to brain workings.

> Nobody disagrees with this point they just don't preface all their statements like "in event that the laws of physics don't drastically change tomorrow, do you want to get something to eat?"

You literally said the laws of physics don't change.

> All science does is give us observations

Right, and from those observations, they do not deny the possibility that the universe follows laws. However, you constantly make the positive statement that the universe does follow laws. Again, a religious statement. I have not made any inconsistent statement. I have said I believe, as you do, that the universe follows laws, but I am honest in that that's religious.

> Yes, but you could have made your point much more clear.

But if I did that you would still be thinking your scientific belief system is based on reason, instead of religious.

> Are you referring to ZFC? Or the three rules of thought? Or Occam's Razor?

I mainly meant the belief that the universe follows laws at all.

> An irreligious look at things, under your definition, would be to make zero positive statements.

That's correct. Positive statements require a belief system that will inevitably contain axiomatic laws. These laws are religious in nature. Even if they have no reference to the divine, they are taken on faith. A common one today is a belief in an immutable universe.

Media is almost always a money loser, and more-often-than not a ’company paper’ a la Amazon & WaPo. Sometimes the funding is less obvious, e.g. mainstream TV, but major advertisers accept a negative return on the ads themselves in order to support the market-forming functions of the channel (impact on regulation, etc).

> I don't think the numerical counts that have been adjusted have much bearing on any of them.

They totally do. They halved the number of children and women killed which completely changes the combatant/civilian ratio.

> The explanations to be accepted by the court would have to be presented as evidence at trial, which would require their to be a court case.

It's hard to see what sort of evidence will be accepted by the court. Hamas claims every single person killed is a civilian (and their combatants fight in civilian clothes) while Israel claims it's targeting combatants. What sort of Israel do you think Israel can present that will clearly support its case and will be accepted? Is there some sort of uninvolved party that can give us the truth here?
> To conclude, we can never automate the construction (nor the testing) of computer programs. So says logic and so says the theory of computation.

On the other hand, the strong Church-Turing thesis is that nothing is more powerful than a Turing machine when it comes to solving halting problems, including humans. This is not proven or really provable but it seems more likely than not (humans certainly don't seem especially good at solving halting problems in general).

If the Church-Turing thesis is true (at least as applied to humans), discovering valid, halting programs by heuristic using a machine isn't barred by the halting problem as far as I can tell.

In other words, humans almost certainly aren't solving halting problems when they program, why should computers necessarily have to? Humans mess up and produce programs that don't halt or don't produce the output they expect all the time, but we still produce useful programs at least sometimes, even if we can't know for sure which programs are which.

If you just want ScarJo's (or James Earl Jones') voice, you need the rights from them. Period.

If you want to reuse the character of her AI bot from the movie (her name, overall personality, tone, rhythm, catchphrases, etc.), or the character of Darth Vader, you also need to license that from the producers.

And also from ScarJo/Jones if you want the same voice to accompany the character. (Unless they've sold all rights for future re-use to the producers, which won't usually be the case, because they want to be paid for sequels.)

That depends on whether every startup CEO is considered a public figure by default. Does this guy have much name recognition outside of his niche? I would wager not.

Even if he is found to be a public figure, I believe the "actual malice" standard would be determined by the defendant's knowledge and regard/disregard for the truth at the time of writing -- meaning it doesn't matter whether the CEO later believed the defamatory statements were made in good faith.

I absolutely do rely on commit messages, and ask for good ones during code review. Everybody on call needs to know how to find root causes in "git log" at 3 AM. The source can't serve the same purpose; including the complete history of what changed when and by whom would make it unreadable (especially things that used to be there but aren't now).
Definitely. GPT4o has a voice that sounds like Scarlett Johannson? They'd probably get away with it, I'm sure there are a lot of people that sound like her. Tweeting a reference to a movie she was in - a bit more murky because it's starting to sound like they are deliberately cloning her voice. Asking to use her voice, then using a soundalike, then referencing the movie? 100%, no doubt.
Interesting, so an obscene cartoon drawing in pencil with a pencil purchased locally would not be an offense, but if the pencil was purchased interstate or by mail then it is.

> Palestine using human shields are not Israel's war crimes

Starvation as a war tactic ... can't be human shields? Dropping a bomb every 50secs for the first 2 weeks and now again in the past week killing 15k+ can't be human shields? Withholding aid, inciting genocide, destroying large swathes of infrastructure isn't merely human shields.
I cannot find the reference but there is a difference between games where you progress when you get better and games where you progress because your character gets better.

The first category in moderation is empowering, the seconds probably sets you ups for behavioral problems. My personal experience with ADHD seems to fit that narrative but it might be a case of reverse or spurious correlation.

So if you do choose to get them a console, choose the games wisely. To be safe prefer games where the player needs to upskill to games where the player needs to grind so it's character gets better.

From personal experience browsing websites, especially sites that display catalogues, manuals, or specifications, a whole lot of them produce PDF content and then go out of their way to render it with JavaScript. The worst use horribly performing systems that make consuming the content miserable. Better commercial systems are a step up (Issuu is a whole company that seems to be developed around doing this). Even better ones use PDF.js. But the best ones... drumroll please... just link to the PDF as Content-Disposition: inline. If users want to save it, then they click save. And this is great -- you want your users to have the easiest time possible interacting with your marketing material.

> fill forms in the browser (where their authenticated context resides)

I have never, in my entire life, seen a web form implemented as a PDF where this was anything other than miserable. Use a form, thank you very much. The less SPA magic and the fewer intermediate submit buttons, the better. (Maybe, if the actual goal is for a user to fill out a form and print the result, offer PDF.js to users on Windows who might otherwise be stuck with Acrobat. I distinctly remember Acrobat being the best PDF-form-filling software maybe 20 years ago, but Acrobat has gotten, if anything, worse, and basically every other package out there runs circles around it.)

Wavefunction collapse has no 'woo'. It's simply the application of a non-commutative operator. Many worlds has 'woo' because it supposes the existence of infinitely many unobservable worlds. Thomas Aquinas question of how many angels are on the head of a pin seems to be a more fruitful exercise. At least the head of a pin can be given a quantified size. On the other hand, no one can tell you where these multiverses exist. How they exist. What measure they occupy, or anything else. They are as unreal as angels. Unless you believe in them (which is fine, just admit it).

Absolutely weak, but worse it’s incredibly expensive. Until Israel can play nice with their neighbors we should not be funding them (or their immediate neighbors). It’s a death spiral of endless spending to keep corrupt assholes in power whose only purpose is job security. If the ICC wants to handle this equitably then I say let the ICC prosecute them all.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what the case is when it gets to trial. The legal report https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/2024-05/240520-p... makes it sound like the primary thing is alleged use of starvation, with other attacks being in the context of that (with the caveat that other charges are still under investigation):

of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Minister of Defense, on the basis that they
committed the war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of
warfare’ under article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the ICC Statute. The Prosecutor also seeks to
charge the two suspects with various other war crimes and crimes against humanity

That's not Microsoft's job at this point, they heavily invest and push the envelop where makers don't want to take the risk, but from there it's for Lenovo, Dell, HP, Asus etc. to decide what they want to market and which chip to push. The same way some of them put weight behind AMD while other went full Intel 100% of the time.
It's really interesting you're willing to and do preemptively apply guilt by association to everyone (by flagging) instead of downvoting/flagging specific comments, suppressing the whole conversations.

It's Minority Report you're engaging in, no?

Have you thought about this before? Do you apply guilt by association in your thinking in other places in your life?

I'm seriously curious if you've self-reflected on this - and it's not intended as an attack or putdown of any sort.

Why not allow the "lots of people here have useful things to say about what's happening here" and allow the "low quality" comments be suppressed-flagged?

One problem though is we have people who apply guilt by association to everyone downvoting anything they interpret however they likely with bias interpret - but you believe you're competent enough to make that judgement call, to be "judge, jury and execution" instead of perhaps just not engaging in threads that bother you too much to filter through?
A low code end to end API testing tool powered by LLMs
[FlowTestAI] Recently discovered this tool when looking at langchain blogs. I usually test APIs in isolation in postman/insomnia but i found it pretty useful to just construct a contextual flow where APIs are chained one after another with realtime data flowing between API calls. Their natural language promopt to flow translation is actually good given that it gives out sample request body and query/path parameters which saves time given that currently i have to go understand the full OpenAPI spec for each of those values. Has anybody else tried the tool?

> If capitalism causes scarcity, then surely socialism/communism is the true champion in this game

Socialism/communism is the 'champion' of that game because whenever any country tried it, the entire 'free world' united first to sanction them, then to wage economic war on them, then to outright bomb and invade them to destroy them.

Its amazing how socialism/communism fails every time, but every time it fails, it requires blockade, sanctions, economic warfare or outright bombing and invasion to fail.

...

Despite that all those socialist/communist systems have lifted hundreds of millions, even billions out of actual poverty and in contrast with capitalism, the 'prosperity' that was brought to their people was not the privilege of working 14 hours in factories 7 days a week and living in industrial slums to die at a ripe old age of 40. Soviet Union rose their people from living barefoot in mud huts to apartments, from illiteracy to space age within the SAME generation. China's success is even more spectacular because its systematic - they do iterative development to raise the standards at every level for everyone.

And yet, on the other side, where the supposedly prosperous capitalism stands, we have people who are suffering hunger, without being able to feed their kids while working in multiple jobs, 99% not being able to own a house and dying when they cant pay for healthcare.

Nobody is sanctioning the US. Nobody is waging economic warfare against them. Nobody bombed them. Nobody invaded them. This is what capitalism did to the US.

> Because the money is the abstraction of any valuable thing. Some billion-dollar-valuated company has an abstract value of a billion dollars... but that doesn't mean there is a billion dollars worth of food to feed the hungry, or a billion dollars worth of clothing to clothe the naked and ragged. Somehow though, this really drives the economically-illiterate into lunatic rages...

The only lunatics are those who don't understand that behind that billion dollar valuation, there exist the means of production to feed, clothe, house and educate everyone as all of those 'failed' socialist/communist systems demonstrated by lifting their people out of poverty within the same generation immediately after taking them over.

> Sure, and you don't even understand why. If you wanted to make it cheap, you'd outlaw insurance and make everyone pay for their care out of pocket. Prices would crash within days, weeks at most. That sounds crazy to you though, because you don't understand economics very well.

Yeah, this is what the rest of the world did. Because they don't 'understand economics' well. That's the reason why they have less expensive healthcare systems with better results. Because 'they don't understand economics'.

Being stubborn in defending an objectively worse result by declaring the entire world but yourself as 'lunatics' who don't understand something is the most lunatic thing someone can do.
I see tons of people very happily using Nix, but also from what I've seen Nix is one of the most opaque hard to understand inscrutable systems on the planet. The language is impossible to learn, and my limited experience has been that there are extremely few good guides to peering under the covers.

Nix is one of the most powerful & well-used bits of modern computing, hugely adopted and loved, but my limited understanding (and what's kept me broadly uninterested) is that it is on the wrong side of the Age of Reason trying to overthrow the Age of Magic war.
In one respect, October 7th was a success for Hamas. Before then, it looked likely that most of the Arab countries would have made peace with Israel without Israel having to concede an iota on the Palestinian issue. After the attack and Israel's response, Israel probably has to make visible progress on the issue before the current holdouts would move forward, or at least wait 10, 15 years before everything is forgotten.

If we're talking about the voice from the "Say hello to GPT-4o", then this is clearly not Scarlett J.

They have similar voices, but SJ has more bass and rasp.

And if it's true that OpenAI hired a different actor, then this should basically be case closed.

The voice of Sky (assuming that's the same as the demo video), sounds like a run of the mill voice actor tbh. Great, but not that interesting or unique.
Then it sounds like that's an obligation you do want to do, and will go to.

But later, if you change your mind... then don't go.
