Given that a 13in e-ink display is 450$ by itself[1], and the FPGA costs about 75$[2], I'd guess north of 600$. I've no thoughts on an upper bound though.

Lotta new words here.
I think this is quite possible, but it doesn't imply that the strong Church-Turing thesis isn't true: brains could still be Turing equivalent to computers, in that neither would be able to solve the halting problem for the other (at least insofar as humans have a "halting problem", which maybe we don't, but you could formulate other things like predicting behavior, which in standard computation is also Turing complete usually)

Since humans don't seem to be particularly good at solving the halting problem even for very small TMs, it doesn't seem that likely to me that we are categorically stronger at it than computers, whether our cognition is truly "computation" or not.

>Effective Altruists are just shitty utilitarians that never take into account all the myriad ways that unmoderated utilitarianism has horrific failure modes.

There's a fair amount of EA discussion of utilitarianism's problems. Here's EA founder Toby Ord on utilitarianism and why he ultimately doesn't endorse it:

>If Effective Altruists want to speed the adoption of AI with the general public, they’d do well to avoid talking about it, lest the general public make a connection between EA and AI

Very few in the EA community want to speed AI adoption. It's far more common to think that current AI companies are being reckless, and we need some sort of AI pause so we can do more research and ensure that AI systems are reliably beneficial.

Obviously this will lead to data loss if any data is written and then a corruption event or issue occurs in-between cron events. The road to over-complicated infrastructure is paved with mistakes and outages. The home-lab server running on a pi in my closet can use cron jobs and scripts, but at work we maintain higher standards because our data loss would cost more than a few extra days of engineer time.

Everything should be as simple as possible, but let's not pretend everyone is a chump because their engineering tolerances don't allow for data loss.

I don't think it's that unsettled, at least not legally. There seems to be precedent for this sort of thing (cf. cases involving Bette Midler or Tom Waits).

I think the hypothetical you create is more or less the same situation as what we have now. The difference is that there maybe isn't a paper trail for Johansson to use in a suit against EvilAI, whereas she'd have OpenAI dead to rights, given their communication history and Altman's moronic "Her" tweet.

Stripe will nickel and dime you to death.

The last time I created an invoice manually it tried to upsell me on a far more expensive plan just so I can group things on an invoice. Even worse, adding a recurring product to a quote results in an upsell.

It’s honestly embarrassing. Feature-gating things with 0 marginal cost feels desperate.
Genuine question: Is fraud actually something that costs Stripe money when it comes to payouts?

The reason credit card fraud for charges costs money to processors is because of charge backs. I believe charge back fees originate from the card networks themselves (Visa, MasterCard, etc). These processors also enforce a variety of limits when it comes to chargebacks for each merchant. This means if you're the layer between the merchant and the network, the merchants generally will rely on you to pre-emptively detect fraud. Those systems all cost money too.

As far as I know when it comes to payout rails such as ACH, real time payments (RTP), Zelle, I don't believe the payment processor holds any liability for fraudulent transactions. In other words, if a fraudulent payout occurs through stripe via RTP then The Clearing House banks aren't going to come after stripe for the money. They'll tell the end user "whoops, should've taken better care of your digital info. Bye!"

source: Worked at a payment processor and worked on payout rails and integrating with banks. Also do work now as an end user of a different payment processor that does charging, payouts, etc.
The voices were available for some time for the ChatGPT TTS model, but it seems that they reused them for the 4o audio output, which sounds significantly more human-like. I’ve heard the Sky voice before and never made the connection. I did think of Johansson though during the live demo, as the voice + enhanced expressiveness made it sound much like the movie Her.

It's not the Ubuntu community that will convince Nvidia it's their large enterprise customers that want docs like "How to develop CUDA application on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)".

For the complete monitor, a 13.3 e-ink screen alone has a retail cost of around 350-400 USD depending on where you look. There's also the FPGA and other components.

We have commercial displays of similar size available around 800 usd. So, adding up the manufacturing, development and other overheads my guess is it could be around 1000 USD.

The dev kit should cost less if we can source the monitor & enclosure ourselves.

I didn't go through the complete list of supported hardware but if we can get the dev kit work with old kindle or kobo 6" displays it should be an interesting diy to work on.

But given how unscrupulous Sam Altman appears to be, I wouldn't be surprised if OpenAI hired an impersonator as some kind half-ass legal cover, and went about using Johansson's voice anyway. Tech people do stupid shut sometimes because they assume they're so much cleverer than everyone else.

There is no need to. 95% of users are never going to need to more than the base.

Fixed size layout runs into problems where you're working with displays that aren't at typical desktop / laptop / mobile distances from the retina.

The two obvious examples which come to mind are mounted displays (from wall art and signage to billboards), and glasses-based displays.

A 1cm font size on a mobile device is ludicrously large. On outdoor signage it's invisible, and quite possibly below pixel size. It might be appropriate on a desktop display for some major title or site branding. It's going to fill the entire field of view on a face-mounted display.

The simple truth is that design has to respect not only device capabilities (your colour-palette likely works poorly on monochrome e-ink devices, ask me how I know), and reader capabilities (colourblind? glaucoma? cateracts? presbyopia?, macular degeneration?) but also the specific use case and environment, all in ways that the author of a site or design often has no possible insight on. Client specifies design is the only option which works in all of these instances, and yes, this means that the more complex your site / SPA (o hai ubrz) the more likely it will be to break irreparably in a large number of instances.

I feel like that's a little different. In the cases of Midler, Waits, and Johansson, the companies involved wanted to use their voices, were turned down, and then went with an imitator to make it seem to the audience that the celebrity was actually performing. In the case of this "Morgan Freeman" video, Freeman himself is very obviously not performing: the imitator appears on screen, so it's explicitly acknowledged in the ad.

But I'm not a lawyer of any sort either, so... ::shrug::
Windows battery benchmarks have always been wildly overoptimistic on Surface products. Factor of 2 to 4 in my experience. Various bugs and bloat cause them to run hot when idling, or in the case of my most recent purchase, when sleeping! In both cases the device had these problems from day one.

As for performance benchmarks, I don't care what numbers they get if it takes a full 8 seconds to open a context menu when I right click something. I'm even less enthusiastic if I'm forced to use Windows 11 and put up with ads.

Surface hardware is amazing, but if Windows doesn't lose all of this bloat then I am done with it.

It's worth mentioning that since Israel took control of the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing Egypt is refusing to let aid in through that crossing.

If they sunset Section 230, they should also sunset the entire DMCA.

That law was a compromise between giving copyright holders all sorts of new powers (DRM, takedown notices, etc), and allowing tech companies to create monopoly platforms (via Section 230) by making it legal() for them to centralize speech (and therefore censorship) on their platforms.

Without the DMCA, we wouldn’t have sites like YouTube or Facebook, and I argue that’d be a good thing. Instead, people would need to self-host their videos, etc. The price of that is approaching zero, but software hasn’t made it easy enough to go those routes (and economic incentives prevent companies from investing in such things).

Anyway, the DMCA without Section 230 will have the effect of further centralizing control over online speech. It won’t end well.

() it was technically legal before the DMCA, but only if you were willing to take on unbounded legal liability.
