I don’t think that’s quite right.

OpenAI first demoed and launched the “Sky” voice in November last year. The new demo doesn’t appear to have a new voice.

I doubt it would take them long to prepare a new voice, and who’s to say they wouldn’t delay the announcements for a ScarJo voice?

A charitable interpretation of the “her” tweet would be a comparison to the conversational and AI capabilities of the product, not the voice specifically, but it’s certainly not a good look.
Do they get a free pass because of accelerationist reasons? If anything this is a reason to stall/brake.

sama tweet after the demo + SJo's press release + OpenAI not even risking it and pulling out the voice from ChatGPT should raise enough doubts if anything.
And purposefully using mechanisms like dead animals too, so they knew it was harmful.

I don't know if I can trust the Verge's reporting on these subjects.

When the original surface was released, they invented a new critical use case (lap-ability in an airplane seat, seriously?) so they could claim surface has a huge weakness.
There’s gotta be a middle ground. The registration system was shit and encouraged a ridiculous secondary market that kept a lot of people under someone else’s thumb too.

Why does everything keep getting worse? Why do people keep making less? We need to figure out the answers to these questions. And no, nobody here knows them.
Not specifically "clicks" because phrases like War on Drugs, War on Terror, and War on Christmas predate widespread use of the Internet. For instance:

> The term "war on drugs" was popularized by the media shortly after a press conference, given on June 17, 1971, during which President Richard Nixon declared drug abuse "public enemy number one". - Wikipedia

And some "War ons" were coined by politicians, so it's not just the media who like the phrase.

Copyright was supposed to protect a small inventor or maker for a short period of time. But as those small makers became corporations and they lobbied for and were able to keep increasing the copyright periods from a few years to decades after the death of the individual the actual essence of the reason for copyright is gone. I am of the opinion that copyright apart from a fixed term should also have a form of value tax. So if the government is allowing you to have a monopoly on something you should pay a yearly tax on its valuation. And if it is not worth it to pay the copyright yearly tax to keep the copyright then the work is released to the commons.

I've had my short stint at using Spring. Often I was dropped into a project where it's already setup and working. When something breaks or I want to extend/modify what was working, I hit a wall in terms of discoverability: how it's been working all this time, and how to find a suitable level of documentation to help me. There are reams of documentation for Spring, but nothing of the kind that'll help me if I'm lost. So, from my perspective, it's write-only framework; it's hard to reason back.
so what is your answer to the question?

From the same author: 1K Pinball Game in JavaScript
https://frankforce.com/lu1ky-pinball-code-deep-dive/
> You can:

> * Run physics at such a high rate that sampling it at 30 or 60 or 144 or 260 hertz is fine, like running physics at 1kHz.

> (...)

> Couple rendering and physics and run at a fixed frame rate (60 FPS)

Both are sensible, but you can do better:

First you can detect the monitor framerate and do a benchmark to get which framerate the computer can comfortably run the game (at not too much CPU utilization), and take the minimum from those two values. That's a good way to gauge a baseline. The only problem is that the simulation will not be deterministic across two different computers (but there are many other sources of nondeterminism, and many games are okay with that)

Then another further issue is that if you run physics at exactly the same frame rate as the monitor, you might sometimes run two physics steps during a frame, or no physics step during a given frame, which causes staggering. To solve that, if your baseline ends up being your framerate, you then run the simulation at a few Hz higher than that (Bevy for example defaults to 64Hz [0], imagining that 60Hz monitors are still common)

[0] https://docs.rs/bevy/0.13.2/bevy/time/struct.Fixed.html

> The default timestep() is 64 hertz, or 15625 microseconds. This value was chosen because using 60 hertz has the potential for a pathological interaction with the monitor refresh rate where the game alternates between running two fixed timesteps and zero fixed timesteps per frame (for example when running two fixed timesteps takes longer than a frame). Additionally, the value is a power of two which losslessly converts into f32 and f64.

My concern is that cases like this would set the precedent that synthetic voices can't be too close to the voice of a real, famous person. But where does that leave us? There's been lots of famous people since the recording age, and the number is only going to increase. It seems unlikely that you can distinguish your fake voice from every somewhat public/famous real voice in existence, especially going forward. Will this not result in a situation where the synthetic voices must either sound clearly fake and non-human to not be confused with an existing famous voice, or the companies/producers must in every case pay royalties to the owner to a famous voice that sounds similarly close, even if their intent wasn't even to copy said voice or any that are similar, to avoid them getting sued afterwards? Are we going to pay famous people for being famous?
Buck2 is really enticing. If I had too much time on my hands, I'd love to try to make a full bootable Linux distro as monorepo and built with buck2. I do see some sort of convergence between package managers and build tools, nix and buck2 do seem to approach similar problem from different angles.
>The root comment we're replying to here is saying that the previous model Surface was out by 2-4x.

And how can we verify that he didn't have some power virus running in the background to generalize that 2-4x claim as being a universal fault with all devices?

The manufacturer makes a claim based on a (obviously biased) controlled lab condition. When you use the device outside that lab condition then it obviously won't apply anymore (duh).

The manufacturer can't promise an exact battery life on YOUR use case since everyone's use case will be completely different, and once you introduce external apps beyond the manufacturer's own control, then everything goes out the window.
I'd guess advertisers might like this feature as they could do:

- Buy ads targeting your page selling stuff (for example a course)
- Generate revenue
- Instant payout
- Repeat

In this flow you don't need to wait 1 month for a payout so you are not limited doing this once a month, you can do this for example 12 times a month therefore generating much more revenue.

It's not just about privacy either.

Worldcoin is centrally controlled making it a classic "scam coin". Decentralization is the _only_ unique thing about cryptocurrencies, when you abandon decentralization all that's left is general scamminess.

> If you want the best surface finish possible, follow the proper print orientation guidelines outlined in the docs. It might not be mentioned here, but I had to repair the model. The outer box showed problems with the geometry in PrusaSlicer, so I used PrusaSlicer on Windows to fix that. I'm not sure if the repair feature is available in the Mac version, but you can also use NP Faab Services or Meshmixer for geometry repair. Just be aware that the box will print as a solid object unless it's repaired well.

Great to see people trying to ingest such humanly crafted horror data.

However, whenever I encounter this with a customer, I’ll take the challenge, show how much a burden it is to manage and how much more it will cost in the long run to maintain in the event the tiny bit of metadata would change inadvertently.

Usually, the customer is listening then for some guidance on how to (not) format spreadsheets and use them as clean db tables.

Then you got clean data easily ingestible. And the customer knows a thing or two about data management.

Except unlike all of those things, explicitly Zionist organizations spend millions of dollars lobbying and campaigning. For example, AIPAC alone has spent almost $2 million to unseat Jamal Bowman in his race against George Latimer, whom AIPAC themselves recruited. [1].

“Controls American foreign policy” is hyperbolic; I don’t think support for Israel would just collapse if those orgs vanished. But come on, comparing Zionism to “motherhood” and “apple pie” is disingenuous.

Somebody seems to have paid to have his website posted, upvoted and commented here.
Yeah, but we are judging a thing that happened in time. So the sets will have some noise/overlap who will specify the conflict as A or B during which time of the conflict.

The ICC likely judges about crimes that happened during multiple phases of the conflict, hence the conflict could have multiple types.
I think the only way for these protests to get really tangible results is in case we reach a ceiling in LLM capabilities. The technology in its current trajectory is simply too valuable both in economic and military applications to pull out of, and "overregulation" can be easily swatted citing national security concerns in regards to China. As far as I know, China has significantly stricter data and privacy regulations than the US when it comes to the private sector, but these probably count for little when it comes to the PLA.
Really nice workflow for a really common 3d print use case. I'd like to see the lid re-worked to print without support (the tall standing orientation is also asking for it to get knocked over). Not sure why they insist on 0.1mm layer height. That makes prints take forever.
Damning would be a side by side comparison of voices to assess the claim. We have the technology.

It's politically embarrassing as attempted prosecutions of soldiers in Northern Ireland have shown. It all gets swept under the carpet, on a pretence it's not good for national security. If you prosecute successfully an individual there is a reasonable chance all military personnel involved could be successfully prosecuted is perhaps another reason it won't happen.

Using the military to prosecute aggressive military operations in an area the clear majority are unarmed, unprotected civilians again shows there is virtually no chance of prosecutions being taken.

Add to that the severe limits added to press freedom, to the point it's obvious the plan is there is no independent reporting, the repeated and systematic targeting of hospitals, ambulances, medical and aid workers, treatment of people detained, never mind densely packed civilian areas which in similar ongoing conflicts (Ukraine/Russia) would be directly called out as war crimes without equivocation, but are ignored, then is there even any point attempting to prosecute individual soldiers?

Seeking arrest warrants for those with most direct decision making powers is far more legitimate, necessary even. Demands for limitless, in all senses, military operations help no one longer term.
I'm still very much pro DI as a concept.

I don't think DI itself really causes any problems, the solutions designed to save you from a little bit of boilerplate code, cause the problems.
It is wild to me that on HackerNews of all places, you'd think people don't love an underdog story.

Which is what this would be in the not-stupid version of events: they hired a voice actress for the rights to create the voice, she was paid, and then is basically told by the courts "actually you're unhireable because you sound too much like an already rich and famous person".

The issue of course is that OpenAIs reactions so far don't seem to indicate that they're actually confident they can prove this or that this is the case. Coz if this is actually the case, they're going about handling this in the dumbest possible way.
And I am loving the fact that LLMs and generative AI is showing what an absolute nonsense it is for any artist to think that just because they made a shitty drawing or song once other people are not allowed to also make that shitty drawing

I think for my next project I'll be trying out using Laravel's prebuilt user auth/login system, then building the business APIs in Node+TS (interfacing with the same relational DB). Developing not-so-dynamic webpages is just quicker in Laravel/Rails/Adonis, and reusing a prebuilt auth system across small projects just seems logical.

There's a bit more coordination involved in this approach, but there's sufficient separation of auth logic from other logic to allow it to work efficiently. Might run into issues with performing auth-related tasks (like invalidate session) on the Node API side, but I think they won't be too difficult to work out.

Does compulsory military service and being a reserve make you a valid military target?

It's not just the artists, anything you do in the digital realm and anything that can be digitised is fair game. In the UK NHS GP practices refuse to register you to see a doctor even when it's urgent and tell you to use a third-party app to book an appointment. You have use your phone to take photos of the affected area and provide a personal info. I fully expect that data to be fed into some AI and sold without me knowing and without a process for removal of data should the company go bust. It is preying on the vulnerable when they need help.
Who cares about performance minutia? It ships with windows. That information should be enough for any sensible buyer.
Well, yes and no. I’d say the new headline was very similar content, albeit pitched a bit differently. :)

I usually try not to repost, because I think it’s rightly frowned on, but I do have a few less extreme examples where the exact same post got to the front page a second time after sinking without trace the first.

Something I've wondered about, because it seems like you might have run across this in your testing: does the default keyboard get anything if it's present on the system, but not the currently active keyboard?

Wait but when you run physics at 64Hz for a 60Hz refresh rate, you'll still see some refreshes with 1 step and some with 2, which means you need some interpolation scheme if you wanna avoid a stuttering mess still. You should have some form of synchronisation which ensures that exactly one physics step happens between each frame that's displayed to the user
In the US, not supporting Israel is political suicide.

That said, a lot of evangelicals do believe the world is about to end and are willing to pay to hasten the process.

It would help if you state the problem you are solving, the valid solutions, and the way that you solve it.

The screenshot shows a network that is not optimal. I would guess the solution using existing nodes is A-E-C-B and D-E.

Do you generate Steiner Points (additional nodes) that minimize the network length?

In the screenshot example, I guess a better solution would be A-E-C with 2 Steiner Points at the feet of the perpendiculars from B and D to the line C-E.

I don't think Hamas wants to be citizens of Israel, the western-style democracy. Its charter (even the softened 2017 version) unambiguously rejects recognition of Israel: "There shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist entity."

Hamas wants an Arab Islamic state to rule Palestine from the river to the sea. It doesn't want equal rights and seats in the Knesset, it wants Arab Muslims to govern the land under Islamic law. This is all spelled out explicitly in their charter.

The lack of working Iron Dome would mean that Israel would have to go on a big offensive. The lack of US aid will elevate Israel's war posture, not decrease it.

Its existence?
Whats really interesting about our timeline is when you look at the history of market capture in Big Oil, Telco, Pharma, Real Estate, Banks, Tobacco etc all the lobbying, bribing, competition killing used to be done behind the scenes within elite circles.
