tbh the quality of default information (and lack of ability to ignore by accident) is why I'm mostly a fan of exceptions. In practice more than in principle. The vast majority of code just doesn't add enough context when it has to be done by hand.

What I think I really want is Rust-like with compiler-added return-traces by default, unless explicitly opted out (in code or in build time config), and you can also add extra info if you want.

That actually seems like there may be a few people involved and one of them is a cowboy PM who said fuck it, ship it to make the demo. And then damage control came in later. Possibly the PM didn't even know about the asks for permission?
Wow. I wouldn't even read a book that took 10 years to be written unless enough other people have read it and vouch for me that the book is actually good.

None of the charges are related to those incidents so i doubt that is relavent.
> People aren’t using the ‘G’ word lightly

They absolutely are. Really everyone with a non-cynical opinion in this whole mess, on both sides, is deeply unserious. There are no solutions here, at all. Everyone wants something terrible. Push one side and you eventually get to "The Palestinians Deserve What They Get". Push the other and you get to "Jews are Colonizers Who Need to be Driven Out". And BOTH SIDES use the term "genocide", largely incorrectly, to describe those horrors and are SHOCKED AND OFFENDED that anyone would describe their own opinions so.

I've just given up. My general political feelings align mostly with the Palestinians here, if for no other reason than it stops the immediate bleeding faster. But there will be no peace here, not within our lifetimes.
> get people to think it’s the real thing.

but did openAI make any claims about whose voice this is? Just because a voice sounds similar or familiar, doesn't mean it's fraudulent.
20% to 70% would be quite the fee increase, but I suppose that is a way of thinking of it.
Yeah, an ScarJo asked them to provide evidence of this before suing them, and they couldn't... and they have a track record of lying.
It's just mind-boggling that their architecture allows this to happen so quickly IMO. There are so many resources and dependencies, that completely nuking a cloud account cannot and should not be easy or fast... and should not actually be possible by the cloud vendor.
I suppose they need to guard against anyone setting up costly infrastructure and doing a "runner" (allowing a credit card to lapse) - in that scenario - deleting all the customers data should be the absolute last resort - after it's been reasonably determined they are being malicious.
How does AWS manage these scenarios? I'm sure they follow-up multiple times before hitting the nuke button. In-fact - they know and treat their "larger accounts" with special privileges and assurances. Unisuper is not a small fish.
By any common set-theoretic construction of Q (e.g., equivalence classes of integer pairs under cross-multiplication), 1 as an element of Z is not literally an element of Q: 1 ∈ Q merely corresponds to 1 ∈ Z, and this correspondence is carefully designed to preserve the ring operations of Z within a certain subset of Q. In this case, the distinction is so negligible that eliding it is harmless, but the whole point of the article is that such elisions can become harmful in more complex constructions.

1 ∈ Z and ASCII '1' can similarly be seen as corresponding in terms of having the same glyph when displayed. But of course, there are far fewer meaningful operations common to the two.

> A blockade is completely legal. Israel is not responsible for feeding Gaza. Do you think the Allies fed the Nazis?

Okay. Sure. The Israeli navy has blockaded Gazan ports since 2007, not since October. It bombed the control tower of the airport in 1999 and bulldozed the runways in 2002.

And it told Gaza any attempt to build an airport would have the same happen to it.

Israel is not responsible for feeding Gaza. But with closed land border, and those blockades, it is responsible for some of the results.

From my experience:

- First get it checked out to decide the size. If it's large you have to have it surgically removed.

- Stop eating or drinking anything that may trigger the stone. You don't know the type of the stone but definitely keep a very short list of food to be consumed.

- Drink a lot of water.

- Exercise a lot -- pick those that might help get the stone out, like cycling and jumping.

- (This is just what worked for me, ask your physician to confirm) Whenever you feel that the stone is stuck in the front of the urethra, and if you are sure about the size AND not in pain, drink a lot of water, jump around a lot and hold enough urine until you simply cannot hold. Go to the bathroom and see if it can get the stone out.

- Standing on your head might be a quick remedy for the stone. It won't get it out but can remove the pain quickly -- again just my personal experience.

- Whenever the stone is out, try to keep it and show to the physician so that you know exactly which type it is and which food to avoid.

The Apollo mission architecture was inspired. Going to the moon likely would have remained a fantasy if they hadn't done the only thing that could work. Any country with ambitions to land people on the moon in the future is facing the same laws of physics.

NASA is stuck with a complicated architecture because they are required to use a legacy system incapable of supporting an Apollo style campaign, not because they have some great vision. Both Blue Origin and SpaceX will need to reinvent space launch to make Artemis work which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I don't feel like NASA has made that clear to the public.

I'm not sure how much you currently legally own imitations of your own voice. There's a whole market for voice actors who can imitate particular famous voices.
I think that is due to insufficient imaginativeness. For example, energy and work are the same units but energy is an absolute quantity while work is a delta. So arguably work should be a sort of tangent element of the energy, rather than the same thing. There's no distinction in flat space but if you e.g. changed coordinates such that energy was on the surface of a sphere, then work is a spherical displacement instead, which is a totally different class of objects.

Likewise, torque is only in the same units because we don't regard radians as a unit, but we should. They are distinctly different.
It’s only problem in the eyes of HN because it is low-effort complaint from people who never used .NET and simply repeat what they read elsewhere. It’s just a popular thing to do, to make negative comments like this.

>Inherent to the functioning of debate is that debates are settled, just like exchanges in a market. That's their only function. Constant debate of an ever-increasing number of talking points, by definition, renders any notion of progress impossible.

Some debates might be settled for some time, but I don't think "settled" is inherent in the functioning of a debate, and certainly not any sense of permanence even if they are "settled" at the moment. Were that the case, we wouldn't right here and now be debating what is clearly "settled" free speech policy of "you have to allow shitty people to say shitty things" (see National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie).

Or maybe I have that wrong and the settled policy is "socialist aren't allowed to tell you to resist the draft" (see Schenck v. United States).

I imagine if we went further back in time, plenty of people thought the debate over the legal status of slaves was "settled". Similarly the divine right of kings was "settled" as well.

Or back to more modern times, I imagine the "settled" rightful disposition of say Palestine, Taiwan or the Ukraine to depends an awful lot on where you live.
It is pretty interesting how this has evolved over the decades. Most hardware has some sort of one-way identity that can be stored in a ROM or sometimes just on the mainboard (like adding/removing some zero-ohm resistors). But because the information has gotten so much more involved over time we now have specific areas on almost all hardware that store device-specific calibration data but also code for network cards to be able to function at all (pretty much all Intel PCs have a GbE firmware embedded in the BIOS or UEFI ROM for example).

There used to be separate chips for everything as well, but that became too error-prone and limiting, so instead of having 10 ROMs of varying kinds we ended up with 3 in most cases (embedded boot ROM, device ROM and storage ROM), which then got slimmed down even more to the point where there is a SiP or SoC ROM and either NAND or DFU has to do everything else.

Depending on the vendor, some have been adding some 'extra' ROMs (usually Flash EEPROMs) for embedded controllers because they can't trust or modify the hardware delivered by their partners (AMD/Intel) as much as they like, so they do it externally (HP SureStart for example). But because those controllers themselves also have a boot ROM and an embedded config ROM you now end up adding 3 ROMs back into the completed product. We even had a short period where the Intel ME in the chipset had one as well, so you ended up with at least 5 boot ROMs (CPU, CH, GbE, USB, EC) and 2 separate combined ROMs (one of which was the combined traditional BIOS ROM, the other purely the EC), just to start up a random desktop PC.

They make no representation that it is her voice, and there's a really good chance that they separately made a voice that sounds similar enough to where if they could tack her name to it, it'd be good for advertising, but otherwise isn't her voice.

I don't see the analogy. Arguably Geoffrey Hinton is to modern AI as Richard Feynman is to quantum computers. So if Richard Feynman happened to once assemble an abacus, then, yes.

If you mean to say that human-level AI is 4,000 years away, and current AI is a mere abacus by comparison, then... well, rather than argue the point, I'll carry the meta-point: what have you accomplished to earn the qualifications to make such an assertion? I'm especially curious whether Andy99 would agree that 123yawaworht456 is better-qualified than Geoffrey Hinton to voice an opinion on this matter. That bar seems very high indeed.

I recall the basics from my contracts law class that it’s not against the law to hire an impersonator as long as you don’t claim it’s the celebrity.

So it’s legal to hire someone who sounds like SJ. And likely legal to create a model that sounds like her. But there will likely need to be some disclaimer saying it’s not her voice.

I expect that OpenAI’s defense will be something like “We wanted SJ. She said no, so we made a voice that sounded like her but wasn’t her.” It will be interesting to see what happens.

Well, maybe. But in other circumstances you want to treat eg heat and work interchangeably. Just look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(thermodynamics) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(electric_field)

Basically, how much you _want_ to encode in your type system depends on the needs of your application. (Approximately all type systems can be made to work for all applications. But they differ in the degree of convenience and error proneness.)
