Nice thing that you have mentioned it here I will try to research on it.
From my understanding, nobody is telling that "We should use Apollo as-is", but "why don't we use the same spirit when we were building these back then?".

Everything made/designed in Apollo are no short of marvels. Today we can do much better with lighter, smaller electronics, and should be able to do weight savings or at least cost savings where it matters.

Instead Artemis feels like "let's dig the parts pile and put what we have together, and invent the glue required for the missing parts", akin to today's Docker based development ecosystem.

Yes, the plan might be to carry much more equipment in fewer launches, but if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. If this amount of people are saying that something is lost in spirit and some stuff is not done in an optimal way, I tend to believe them.
To the downvoters: instead of just pressing that downvote button on things which you do not agree with it would be beneficial for the discourse if you laid out your disagreement.

The traditional concept of generative music was that it was different each time and varied/developed/evolved while playing.

So it's generative in the way "generative design" is, but not oriented towards optimising for a goal, if that makes sense.

I don't know about Ableton loops but I've met some drummers like this but they are usually not all that popular. So I am guessing that is not what GarageBand is aiming at, in quite the same way. ;-)

Though perhaps that is generative in the sense of optimising towards a goal; I've not used it.

Eno's work was initially done with the Koan and I think he ended up in a sort of symbiotic relationship with the developers. It was a big deal for a while in computer music magazines in the 90s.
You are only assuming one kind of attack vector, which is a landlord discovering this exact site. Whereas the more impactful scenario is a web crawler discovering this site, grabbing its content and making it Googleable, so that not one but every landlord can access it. Like I already explained 4 comments ago.

I honestly don’t get why I even have to explain this. The original question was how anonymous it can get. Any practice that reduces the amount of personal information, or the ease to access it, helps, period. Dismissing one because it doesn’t offer perfect protection is like not using condoms because they are ineffective against mono. There is no reason not to implement them - that is, if the maintainer actually cares about privacy.
The disconnect is that PG misuses the word "represented". Functions in Bel are not just represented as lists, they are lists. Specifically, they are lists whose first element is the symbol LIT and whose second element is the symbol CLO. Functions can also be represented as lists that start with the symbol FN.

You would not ordinarily express a function using its literal representation. Usually you'd say

(fn (x) (+ x 1))

which yields the function above. [i.e. (lit clo nil (x) (+ x 1))]

So a list that starts with FN represents a function, but it is not a function. It has to be evaluated to produce a function, but the function that it produces is just another list, one which starts with LIT rather than FN.
I can't help but read this as:

Fair enough, that's how things work for other voice acting jobs as well, I just doubt it usually takes almost half a year. I wonder how many of the shortlisted 14 have just given up somewhere along the way.
> The way to tolerate the adaptation is hot water - spray water as hot as you can stand (without damage) on the affected area and you will get substantial relief for about 12 hours.

Yes. Similar to poison oak (in irritant effect), we've also got poodle-dog bush out in California. It thrives in post-fire environments, and isn't as well-known as poison oak. The reaction to it is often even worse than for poison oak. And so, before I was better versed in the "fun" plants of our local mountains, I had a run in with some poodle plants, and.. that was a rough few weeks.

I tried everything to make it more tolerable, and hot water was by far the best. The effect didn't last forever, but it was remarkable how it a) was actually pleasurable and b) muted the itchiness for a fairly significant amount of time (although still not as long as I would have liked..).

It's probably still best to avoid hot water until you've done a good job of getting the offending substance off (as best as possible). And near scalding water isn't otherwise great for the skin, so it's probably not something one should do all the time.

But wow, it was amazing for poodle-dog bush.

Could you help me explore your view a bit more?

Parent's advice is about favouring team and striving to be an enabler/multiplier rather than sweating over individual perfection of craft. It's a fairly common conclusion that some people arrive at.

What are you contrasting that to? How does that relate to money problems and health problems?

Is becoming a multiplier mutually exclusive from chasing financial success in your opinion?

EDIT to elaborate on the concept of a multiplier. Say you can become a mythical 10x engineer or you can become a mentor. If you can mentor 5 normal engineers from 1x to 2x then you've now got 10x engineering and the org also has reduced bus factor.

What about if those 5 2x engineers can bring another 25 0.5x engineers up to 1x engineers. Suddenly your org can become much more than a single 10x engineer can accomplish.

This is quite spurious and 9 mothers can't have a baby in 1 month but it's a useful mental model for the value of individual contribution vs coaching/managing.

In reality while people like to balk at the idea of the 10x engineer, the truth is there are probably 100x and 1000x engineers out there. Von Neumann is probably a 1000x or more. Linus and Page&Brin are probably at least a 100x etc - those multiples are made up, power laws make numbers go big

The answer to most of these is the same: companies have to show that they are making a reasonable, good faith attempt to comply. If they can show that they have policies, that they have processes to implement the policies, and that their users have read the policies, understand the processes, and are aware of their own responsibilities then there's a strong likelihood that they will not run afoul of the directive.

In Bel you have to eval (fn (x) (+ x 1)) before you can call it. Do you agree? Following your terms in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40409467, in this respect Bel feels like a modern lisp. In other words, this quoted passage of yours is not correct:

(lambda () t) is a list. In McCarthy's original lisp, as in Bel, this list IS a function. This would work:

(setq l '(lambda () t))
(l) --> T

This would not work in Bel.

As fellow readers already pointed you to and gave you some answers.. my duty is to raise concerns.

If everyone is going to a place, then the place is nothing special anymore. If everyone wear the same, the wore isn't special anymore. Everyone has the same aim as you. The aim is the same like "when to send the newsletter out, so it has the best reading reach?"

But, if everyone, who want his newsletter to be read, follow some guru tips, they land all in the same inbox at the same time.

So.. what's more important is to have a good catchy subject and actually offer something.

The posting time is irrelevant then.

Not a week passes where I do not learn something interesting on hn! And this one may even be life altering!

Took me 30 years to find out that I have pollen allergies, and from that food allergies.

And because my body only produces very little diamin oxidase, that leads to heavy symptoms elsewhere in the body. I just recently got so far that diet and fenistil make things usually bearable, and when it gets heavy, only a little more fenistil fixes the symptoms. I don't think the symptoms are anaphylaxes, but overabundance of histamine. I had too many of them and I'm still here, never had to use the epi pen.

But from all the specialists I visited in my country, no one ever told me, that OAS exists, or oral therapy against them.

I can't say how thankful I am for the new ideas from your post and the child posts!
Why? Why can't the world be a cruel and indifferent place? Take for example the babies that had to be left behind by hospital staff in one of the Gaza hospitals when it was occupied by the IOF and when the doctors could come back a few weeks later they found the rotting corpses of these babies who had been left to starve, alone and afraid, by the Israeli soldiers.

If you were one of these newborns and somehow con-cious and you had to choose between 'I have been left here to die' and 'Mommy loves me and is coming soon', would you reject the former as obviously false since it's incompatible with health, sanity, and humanity?

I think so easily dismissing the cruelty and insanity of the world is in itself inhumane.
Sometimes I'll tell two agents very explicitly to share the work, "you work on this, the other should work on that." And one of the agents ends up delegating all their work to the other, constantly asking for updates, coming up with more dumb ideas to pile on to the other agent who doesn't have time to do anything productive given the flood of requests.

What we should do is train AI on self-help books like the '7 habits of highly productive people'. Let's see how many paperclips we get out of that.
I do not think cognitive capacity is the motivation here: human children are our offspring.

It's simple favoritism of ones offspring, which would seem to be a primary motivator here.

>The why question is easily answered if you see how many negative reactions their choice of voice caused.

To be honest, this HN thread was the first time I saw someone complaining about male and female voices in ChatGPT.

>A gender-neutral voice would have just avoided annoying a certain percentage of the population, including me.

The voice actors and actresses hired by OpenAI use their natural voices for training, I don't understand how that could be annoying to anyone, is the problem that they didn't hire a trans person (I imagine they have a more neutral voice)?
I can speak to the situation you mentioned, as it happened twice.

However almost no money had to be thrown at the problem, and the outcome was the best that could have been wished for.

I live in Europe where we generally have universal healthcare.

Perhaps the author you responded to is also living in a similar situation?

I for one would take the same view as them. Work to live, and try only to do meaningful work. Life really is too short and fragile not to.

From what I can gather, they largely distribute money to lots of places in the USA, thereby pouring money into regions that wouldn’t have it otherwise, creating jobs that wouldn’t exist otherwise, and raise the baseline income overall. If anything, this should have a beneficial effect where more people can spend more, don’t require social services, slide into drug abuse or homelessness. Some part of the government has to do that; but instead of just handing the money out to poor people, they do it indirectly and keep folk in active employment. What would be bad about that?
That can be taken out by a particularly unfortunate shovel or truck though, and isn’t sufficient to run a business on.
One great thing about P2P is you can provide more peers. You can surge inexpensive machines near your market and drastically reduce the load on your main servers.

And home connections —while still largely asymmetric— are much faster than they used to be. Having 10mbps up means one client can serve two more. And there's a lot more FTTP with 100-1000mbps up too. These really make a difference when you have a large swarm.
I think OP is saying that p-zombies are a pointless thought experiment, because the intended outcome is hardcoded in the premise. If you accept the premise, you ipso facto already believe that consciousness is not necessarily physical, and the experiment doesn't change that. If you reject the premise, then the experiment is nonsensical.
Water evaporates and people would think twice before 'losing' it.
I'm torn both ways on the double issue. On the one hand, doubles are much more widely supported these days, and will save you from some common scenarios. Timestamps are a particular one, where a float will often degrade on a time scale that you care about, and doubles not. A double will also hold any int value without loss (on mainstream platforms), and has enough precision to allow staying in world coordinates for 3D geometry without introducing depth buffer problems.

OTOH, double precision is often just a panacea. If you don't know the precision requirements of your algorithm, how do you know that double precision will work either? Some types of errors will compound without anti-drifting protection in ways that are exponential, where the extra mantissa bits from a double will only get you a constant factor of additional time.

There are also current platforms where double will land you in very significant performance problems, not just a minor hit. GPUs are a particularly fun one -- there are currently popular GPUs where double precision math runs at 1/32 the rate of single precision.
I had Sky answer in dutch, and hearing dutch with an american accent is funny but a little jarring. The frustrating part of being a flemish dutch speaker is that dutch itself is already poorly served by AI tools (it’s actually impressive chatgpt can do it at all) and additionally the flemish accent and dialects are not supported at all in pretty much anything, so all dutch text to speech sounds foreign.

I hope eventually they can pick up language, dialect and accent from youtube content or something like that, because voice casting will never scale to the thousands of variations they need to have to support a global audience. Instead of picking a voice from a handful of choices it should do a q&a where it learns your locale and intonation preferences and generates a tailored voice on the fly.

Still, I am impressed with the quality of the voices they have and with how well they manage dutch. It is just the case that there still is a lot of room for growth.

Bacteria wasn’t known about thousand of years ago. Nor were nutrients (in the sense that we know it now).

Yes, that's right, but you have missed the point. In McCarthy's Lisp, functions were lists whose first element was the symbol LAMBDA. In Bel, functions are lists whose first element is LIT and whose second element is CLO. But the details of what is in those lists is irrelevant. The point is, in both langauges, functions are lists. You can call CAR on a function and get a result. In McCarthy's Lisp, that result will be LAMBDA and in Bel it will be LIT. If you call CAR on a function in a modern Lisp you will get an error.

? (car (lambda () t))
> Error: The value #<Anonymous Function #x302000E7B61F> is not of the expected type LIST.

Contrast with:

? (car '(lambda () t))
LAMBDA

In addition, there is a special form in BEL called FN which, when evaluated, produces a function, i.e. a list whose first element is LIT and whose second element is CLO. McCarthy's original lisp had no such function. The special handling of functions, i.e. lists starting with LAMBDA, was hard-coded into the definition of EVAL. But that is also an irrelevant detail.

In my opinion, they should have hired a trans person, created a gender-neutral voice, and used that as the default. It would not have caused a backlash to the voices.

I encountered another pitfall when using `new URL` to check if a text contains urls. It accepts strings like ”example:”, “next:", etc. as valid urls because it interprets the string before the colon as a custom protocol. This is a real edge case in the spec, because with common protocols, just "http:", "https:" is not accepted as a valid url.
