Copper toxicity > Signs and symptoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_toxicity#Signs_and_symp... :

> The US EPA lists copper as a micronutrient and a toxin. [11] Toxicity in mammals includes a wide range of animals and effects such as liver cirrhosis, necrosis in kidneys and the brain, gastrointestinal distress, lesions, low blood pressure, and fetal mortality. [12][13][14] The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a limit of 0.1 mg/m3 for copper fumes (vapor generated from heating copper) and 1 mg/m3 for copper dusts (fine metallic copper particles) and mists (aerosol of soluble copper) in workroom air during an eight-hour work shift, 40-hour work week. [15] Toxicity to other species of plants and animals is noted to varying levels. [11]

A reasonable production process would need to contain and could probably reuse copper emissions

The Future of Longevity: Overcoming Major Causes of Death
The content of article selectively quotes and frames things to suggest that advice to keep distance to reduce the rate of spread of a severe acute respiratory virus was bad advice.

It was very good advice.

It has been known to be good advice for decades, recent decades.

The fact that this had not been specificly reproven specifically with SARS-CoV-2 during the earliest days of a global outbreak isn't relevant to the value of that advice.

Sturgis, and numerous other outbreaks arising from events in the shit show that exampled the US approach to social distancing highlighted what happened as a result of not heeding such advice ... some of the highest per capita death rates in the world.
OTOH, the original Chromium is so popular that the motivation of finding these bugs is very high. I think zero-day RCE bugs can be sold for tons of money on the black market.

However, the motivation to find similar bugs in Thorium is very low, too few users. And because the project messes with compiler flags, there’s chance at least some of the Chromium bugs don’t apply to the fork, because the machine code is different. Or maybe they apply but require adjustments to the exploit, which most attackers won’t do because too few users of the fork.
If they are not trying to trick people into believing xyz person did the voice acting, and instead are going for a certain style, I think they would be protected by freedom of expression. Think of how authors of books describe voices in great detail.

i.e. intent matters.

In this case, since the other voice actor has a clearly different voice than SJ, it seems like their intent is to just copy the general 'style' of the voice, and not SJ's voice itself. Speculative though.
Why are you mad? We have no rights to the sound of our voice. There is nothing wrong with someone or something else making sounds that sound like us, even if we don’t want it to happen.

No one is harmed.
Well, “fraud” was the OP’s word, not mine. In my mind it connotes something criminal and I’m not sure Musk has reached that bar. But I do think he’s some kind of a confidence man, trading on SpaceX’s reputation to project competence elsewhere where he simply doesn’t have it. Tech in particular, yes.
I love it when headlines

This is known as personality rights or right to publicity. Impersonating someone famous (eg faking their likeness or voice for an ad) is often illegal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights
Or maybe the prospect of theft and unpermissioned copying of an extremely personal quality (one's voice) is (correctly) being called out?

Are you sure? You certainly have rights to your likeness--it can't be used commercially without permission. Di you know this doesn't cover your voice?
> I do like that many people have learned to recognize the writing style and visual aesthetic, and are rejecting it.

This is the thing that gives me hope -- inquisitive people who have no idea how ChatGPT does what it does can point out ChatGPT-generated text. It's more difficult with GAN-generated images but in the creative community I am part of, some people are very literate about this already.

I agree. They’re clearly have ethics beyond “steal whatever data is out there as fast as you can”.
It's not intending to do something legal, it's intending to do something illegal: Stealing their likeness. The fact you used an otherwise legal procedure to do the illegal activity doesn't make it less illegal.

Archived article: https://archive.ph/ruCRF
I got a flashback to Zed Shaw's infamous Turing completeness quip about Python 3, except that at least his was really just a stupid joke. Here, the author is using a motte-and-bailey fallacy in which he attacks a more complex and open ended statement ("AI will Soon Replace Programmers") by instead retreating to a more straightforward and falsifiable statement (the ability to write any computer program).
Impersonating someone’s voice isn’t stealing anything, and certainly not their identity.
I imagine the database corruption prevented the permanent delete from the Recently Deleted folder that's supposed to happen 30 days after you mark something as deleted.

If it behaves anything like the Mac Photos app, then it's using hard links for things like importing photos which can lead to bugs like this if the corruption led to them losing track of one of the hard links, since you have to delete all of them to actually delete the file.
As someone who's used Python but not Julia - when you say package ecosystem has a brighter future, does that include not needing several versions of Julia installed on my PC?

> her entire celebrity status

I mean…if you check the IMDB page you’ll see she’s done a lot more than that…and is known widely for her role as Black Widow in the Avengers movie series.

So, I think she’s got more to her status than “the voice”.

I’m sure you were trying to say in this OpenAI voice rights context, but I think it’s important to consider she is indeed a bonafide not-just-a-voice A-list Hollywood Celebrity.
Heavy doubt on the sold to another person story. This sounds like a file was orphaned from its database entry and re-indexed. If you wipe your device like it was supposed to before you sell on your device, the data would be gone and it wouldn't have a remote source like iCloud to sync from either.

How can you say that when they literally approached SJ for her voice, and then asked the voice actor to reproduce SJ's voice?!
But clearly they are advertising as her (no pun intended), which is a gray area.

If you ever spend time within a few hundred meters of other cars such as while driving around or walking along a road you are inhaling large amounts of aerosolized metal particles from brake dust.

* There isn't blame on an entire ethnicity regardless of the outcome of this case. I don't think you want to open that pandora box.

* Ironically, Bibi will be temporarily strengthened. No sane Israeli leader would want to depose him and risk being seen as collaborating with the warrant or risk getting a warrant too later on. Over time Bibi will still inevitably be replaced (too many reasons for Israelis to hate him), but this may stretch to 2025.

* Israel allowed aid since the beginning and especially recently. Warrants will help focus the mind here.

* Result of US elections big key here.

Everyone from the Hague to UC Berkeley administrators is learning one hard truth: agreements with some polities in that part of the world and their ambassadors are not worth very much. But if you pretend that they are then it seems like there are easy solutions.

What do you care more about? Money or purpose?

For some people, money is the only thing in their field of vision. For others, spending their lives making a positive impact carries more, and real, weight.

Speaking as someone who works for the public sector, making moderately good money and helping real people everyday, I can tell you that I'd much prefer that to working for FAANG. Actually, I wouldn't be caught dead working for Meta.

It depends on who you are and what you value.

It's not a real two slots, because you can use only one, of course.

AlphaServer ES47 and ES80 model has support for 4 and 8 AGP slots respectevly but that's cheating, they are server scalable systems. Maxed out GS1280 can support 16 AGP slots per partition.

They did test them with 4 cards, though.

Unsurprisingly (in the context of the thread) some guy from Russia actually did AGP to PCI converter and it worked just fine (considering you can only use 3.3V cards on it):

Looks like this is what my mind mangled up to a dual AGP slot version.

Welp, guess there was no dual AGP consumer cards at all.
Ok, that makes more sense.

And yes, RISC-V designers believe that addressing more complex than base+offset is a net loss in processor efficiency. You might need very slightly fewer instructions overall in a program, but it costs more transistors, silicon, and therefore dollars, and might even lower the achievable clock speed by more than the saved instructions.

Some companies implementing RISC-V don't quite believe that (e.g. Andes, THead) and add more complex addressing modes as custom extensions. Once they've spent the silicon then you might as well use it -- same with WCH's shadow registers or automatic push/pop for interrupt handling (depending on the core) -- but it's not proven it's actually the best use of additional silicon [1].

Let the market decide.

If complex addressing wins then RISC-V always has the possibility to add a standard extension. It's much harder to take unneeded features away.

[1] admittedly the equation is different with a single-core microcontroller in a package, vs a chip with large numbers of cores (whether all the same, or all RISC-V, or not). On a stand-alone microcontroller the die size is often determined by fitting the pads around the outside, and if you don't use all the silicon inside that then it's wasted.
Yes, it seEms a LOt of big Names in tech have this same problem. Curious that, isn't it?

I also think it is tipping their hand a bit. I know companies can do multiple things at once, but what might this flirty assistant focus suggest about how AGI is coming along?

Now that the blockchain itself is actually not novel, it was already a part of Git at the time of the Bitcoin white paper. The novel part, I believe, was the proof-of-work concept.
The demo OpenAI was a massive marketing campaign for GPT-4o and led to the largest increases in revenue for their mobile app. The voice was a large part of why this release was a hit. The demo is still on youtube with 4M views. She has a great case for financial remuneration even if they haven't yet launched the voice feature.

I wonder if Scarlett Johansson really has a legal copyright since Warner Bros. owns the rights to the movie "Her." It would be like Dan Castellaneta trying to get a copyright for Homer Simpson when the character is owned by Fox.
There's a lesson in here somewhere, but I'm not sure what it is.
Windows 2000 was great IMO, and peak Windows!

XP was peak if hardware compatibility is important.

Then it went downhill slowly. UI decisions and telemetry and now needing an internet connection and a MS account to install and now Win11 refuses to install on perfectly good but older hardware.

Microsoft cloudifying Office ironically makes going to Linux as a normie fairly easy as Office is the only thing I would miss. And mainly due to it’s dominance rather than it being great.

Windows dark side is a shame as MS as a developer’s company is really good. VS, VSCode, Typescript and C# and F# are awesome. And also some changed to Windows are good.

I’m guessing you’re referring to people still thinking Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house, that was from a SNL skit and an amazing impression from Tina Fey. I agree, people have a hard time separating reality from obvious parody, how could we expect them to make a distinction with intentional imitation. Society must draw a clear line that it is not ok to do this.
It has potential, but the main issue is privacy. It is one thing to be targeted for ads while doing internet search or browsing, and another while doing things on my computer, which could include confidential medical information or NSFW selfies or trade secrets.
The training for a voice decoder model at GPT-4o's quality would require specific and numerous high-quality examples.

A click bait headline, but watching the video and what he said, everything seems somewhat reasonable.

If the experts don’t agree on risks, then clearly there’s a non-zero chance.

On some tasks, computing machines passed us by a while ago. I already ask an LLM several questions a day as it has a much “broader” intelligence than I do. Many times the code it suggests is exactly what I was about to write - sometimes better. The capabilities of generative AI today were in the realm of science fiction just a few years ago.

Artificial intelligence will continue to evolve faster than human intelligence. Sticking our head in the sand and acting like we will always be “superior” seems fool-hardy.
Trump owns 57% of the shares. (Possibly more now; https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/22/business/trump-media-stock-tr... says 65% either now or shortly) You don't need to buy new ones from Truth; you buy ones already on the market to run the price up. This directly benefits the guy holding the majority of the shares, and in a few months he can freely sell them.

Ruts are there because everywhere you look is worse than where you are at, but that just appears to be true because you are in, well, a rut.

I can think of a few ways aviation could break out of its rut. I originally thought the aviation rut would break because of autonomous or near autonomous aircraft enabling safe and more efficient small aircraft. That would have led to cheaper more personal travel and broken the hub and spoke nightmare system we have now. We would have gotten into a whole new optimal for aviation. The rut was too large though and getting to that level of automation isn't happening any time soon without some other massive change. I now think the thing that will do it is electric. Batteries are getting so much better along with electric motors and soon (a few years?) batteries will outpace JET-A enabling a massive shift to smaller, cheaper aviation. I think this push will be so strong that it will finally break the aviation rut. Whatever the eventual reason, and there will be a reason, when we get out of it we will see radical changes to the whole industry and we will look back, just like the space industry is now, and ask 'why did it take so long' and 'how did we do things so slowly/badly?'.

Here is a quick aside about ruts. I almost wrote up the math of this once. Ruts are caused by the algorithm we all use, linear regression. It is powerful and good at what it does. Assess, step, assess step. So simple and so powerful but totally misunderstood. In a fixed world if you throw a dart and use linear regression to find a better optimum you will almost always find a way better place than where the dart initially landed. But we don't live in a fixed world. In a dynamic world you still think you are selecting for optimality, but in reality you are selecting for stability. If the world keeps changing but where you are at is standing still then you are in a rut, a stable point. A rut is a local optimum where the walls are higher than your assessment vision and those walls, for whatever reason, don't get lower than your point even though the world is changing. If they did you would see the route out and take it. An algorithm to bust out of this is to double your step size every time you go back to your starting point. If you do this then eventually you will 'break out' and finally be able to find a new optimum that is likely way better than where you were at before. An interesting counter-intuitive consequence of all this is that the more visionary the industry, the bigger the eventual rut it will get caught in. Aviation, space, medicine have all been in massive ruts -because- the people in them are so smart and can see so far. When they finally got caught in their ruts those ruts were massive. The break out will be equally massive too (as we are seeing with space right now)

There is a lot of fun math behind ruts. I am surprised by how underdeveloped it is. One thing is sure though, aviation is in a deep one and when it does break out it will be amazing.

Honestly, I suspect a lot of what makes it opaque is the fact that it hinges a lot on functional paradigms, this definitely made it a lot harder for me to understand. The trouble is that now that I understand it, I'm not sure how they could architect this in a more scrutable way. This is the problem.

I think most of us who use and love Nix understand that it is too complicated, but it's too complicated because none of us can figure out how to make it simpler.
