“France was widely considered to be the most powerful army in the world in the 19th century, so when they lost to Prussia, everyone was shocked.

Military experts began researching the Prussian army to try to figure out how they beat France.

One of the things they discover is a game the Prussian army created and played as a form of training called kriegsspiel (this literally translates to "war game.") Kriegsspiel consisted of army officers using maps and wooden blocks simulating troops to practice tactics, strategy, and issuing orders.

Thinking that this was possibly an explanation as to why the Prussians were so surprisingly good, many countries adopted kriegsspiel and introduced it to their officers (often changing rules to better suit their militaries' organization and strategies.)

Kriegsspiel became a big hit among military officers, and eventually found it's way into the civilian world. However, the game was very complicated, and focused more on training value than fun or balance. So people started making new "war games" better suited for the civilian market.

Eventually, a young war game enthusiast named Gary Gygax created a medieval war game called Chainmail. He also created an optional fantasy ruleset for the game, which made it the first ever fantasy war game.

Shortly after this, Gygax and a few friends started working on what they initially called "The Fantasy Game." This used Chainmail and other games the group had created as a basis, but focused on role playing a single, fleshed out character instead of commanding masses of nameless units.

By the time they finished the game, they had settled on the name Dungeons & Dragons.” - screenaholic

I spent a month making a Taylor Swift Game
Every day, everyone gets the same 3 lyrics and you have to guess the songs (like wordle) You have to try to guess as fast as you can

You can share your results to see who got the daily lyrics the fastest

Your statistics are tracked so you can see your past games The more games you play you unlock themes inspired by Taylors albums Also you can practice lyrics by album I spent a very long time building this and would love everyone’s feedback and please share your results!
Thanks so much!

Carl Jung held this view too. And he knew his teacher Freud disagreed. For instance a Carl Jung thought a humans fear of spiders in innate, and not learnt.

The same as how a bird can be scared on snakes. Interestingly native birds in Australia aren’t scared of humans.
It’s an obvious comparison to make for the technology, I don’t think it was meant as “it sounds like ScarJo”
Are you using this as an argument about how similar they are? The voice sounds distinctly different, no problem discerning between the two.

I think we owe people outside of a commercial environment the presumption of innocence and benefit of the doubt. But we owe profit-seeking corporations (or their officers) neither, and the assumption should be that they are simply amorally doing whatever maximizes profit. As soon as someone hangs their shingle out there as a business, our presumptions should change.

Kind of concerning to see so much sketchbag behaviour from possibly the top AI company so consistently. Sure brings a lot of confidence in the future and sad that they can get away with it and still succeed because of the tech and their big names.

It feels like it took years before people started hating Google and Tesla, but these guys wasted very little time pretending to be good.

Do I still pay for and use them? Unfortunately yes, but I won't spend a second defending them or thinking they are trying to do anything remotely good, safe or ethical. Once things settle and hopefully someone else takes over, I can move my money elsewhere.
they reduced the volume by nearly half -- that's a big difference. I won't argue on performance, but again for folks who care about aesthetics this is a more palatable solution.

I don't really get what you're getting at here.

It sounds like you're trying to draw some equivalence between multiple spoken languages (largely seen as something brag-worthy-ish) and multiple programming languages. Like if culture thinks it's sexy to know french that somehow that means it's sexy to know Cobol [It's not].

The two are wildly different of course, a programming language can be learned in weeks and a spoken language takes years.

But if your question is -- would the world be a better place if we all spoke the same language? Then yes, absolutely.

Fortunately AI will help continue to reduce these artificial barriers between languages.

>this also appears like a convenient way to obscure the fact that certain tweets with a large number of likes are being artificially juiced by bot accounts

I'm not sure. You will (AFAIU) still able to check who liked a particular tweet, so you can check suspicious tweets for bot activity. But you won't be able to pivot and check which tweets were liked by a (suspected) bot account.

It's bad day for transparency, but this is not completely unlike other platforms (for example: I can't check the list of google docs you have access to, but I can check a list of people who have access to the google doc I have opened)
Oh hell yeah!

It can be hard to sift through the all the random papers on Arxiv or something, but I do try my best to keep up with current research. Obviously I don't have the time or ability to read every single paper (much as I wish I could!), but I do try and at least read the abstract, introduction, and conclusion to CS papers that are relevant to me, though the "relevant to me" part can be hard to figure out a lot of the time.

Having an "HN-like" experience for research papers could really help with that, I love the idea!

Out of curiosity, what did you build this in? Since I do think this has potential to get to HN-levels of success in the academic world, have you thought about scaling?
I'll try to accomodate this, thanks for the feedback!

Public service announcement.

Technical trading is the equivalent of using astrology for investments. It is not a science and has been roundly refuted as junk for well over 25 years. If you are thinking about actively trading or, worse, "technical analysis", by definition that strongly suggests you are either:
1) not well versed in investing and should spend some time reading the most publicly recommended tomes on investing;
2) believe in astrology; or
3) selling books or services related to technical trading which is the only way to make money off it it.

I don't believe using Hacker News to advertise a commercial product relating to technical analysis is appropriate.
My first thought as well. I'm guessing they're less likely to accept the liability of poisoning people from co-mingled third-party counterfeits if they're delivering FDA-approved drugs instead of unapproved supplements.
So what's the issue here? AI is being deployed rapidly? The author found a flaw in the models? Some AI companies do not have a button to report a bug? An AI company did not consider this bug as a security flaw?

> If that sounds like an extraordinary claim, bear with me. I have an extraordinary story to share.

I'd like to see extraordinary evidence instead of a story, and I did not get any. I'm not even sure if the issue is something like "the prompt is clearly wrong on purpose" or "the LLMs hit something like SolidGoldMagikarp" or "the prompt is very normal but for this specific prompt it makes them go crazy".

If you gave an example that people can reproduce on twitter or something this would quickly spread, some people with more time and maybe knowledge would play with it, maybe discover a whole class of issue, maybe discover an easy fix. I don't understand why the author isn't straight to the point and transparent, as this does not seem to be a security vulnerability, but more of a "this prompt is the equivalent of 'do yap a lot please I love this'".

I'm also not sure about the "Expectations". The author says:

> That was all I could do. I couldn't get more work done until I had a resolution to this … bug?

but I don't think he proved it? Maybe changing the prompt would fix this? The attitude is alien to me:

> How could a simple prompt constructed as part of a prototype for a much larger agent bring a transformer to its knees?

I can pour a simple glass of water on my computer and bring it to its knees, this would not make me question computers as a whole.
The invasion of Ukraine was in fear of them joining NATO. If any country reneged on the agreement it would suddenly itself become more vulnerable. The USA under Trump may decide to become further isolationist and leave but that is more internal politics than good sense.

I don't use GHA as some of our code is stored in Perforce, but we've faced the same challenges with EC2 instance startup times on our self managed runners on a different provider.

We would happily pay someone like depot for "here's the AMI I want to run & autoscale, can you please do it faster than AWS?"

We hit this problem with containers too - we'd _love_ to just run all our CI on something like fargate and have it automatically scale and respond to our demand, but the response times and rate limting are just _so slow_ that it means instead we just end up starting/stopping instances with a lambda which feels so 2014.
I did not. I asked why you apparently cannot enjoy the countryside without owning the part of it you're standing on. I wonder what someone piecefully hiking through your land is taking away from you, how they diminish whatever you get out of owning it.

Property rights aren't boolean, but a gradient: You can definitely grant someone the right to pass through a given area without allowing them to permanently settle the place, or go hunting.

Having said this, I actually don't think the approach you take to ownership is a good one: Humans are social creatures. We benefit from sharing, and yes, that includes food, clothing, and musical instruments. Just acknowledging that we don't live in a feudal society anymore and can share some things doesn't immediately imply revoking all property rights or living in some kind of communist nightmare.

Going back to your original post: You mentioned your biggest dream would be owning some property in the country that you have to yourselves exclusively. If you had easy access to nature that wasn't bound in private property, would you have as strong a desire to have your own in the first place?
Easy peasy, yes/no answer.

From your understanding, is looking/sounding like somebody else (even if its famous) prosecutable or not?
of course my post was slightly a joke

but is the relative difficulty, in human understanding, or a 'fundamental' difference in complexity?

surely the later is something mathematicians can and have measured?
These activities are "non-useful" in the sense that they generally don't bring direct financial rewards to the individual people who spend time on them (beyond modest salaries for teaching/research for those who work full time on it). However, from a societal perspective, such activities in aggregate often compound and have very high leverage and therefore disproportionately large benefit, especially compared to purely consumptive hobbies. The rewards are not carefully accounted and are reaped by miscellaneous strangers, sometimes far in the future.

As a bit of a counterpoint, I have a number of people with more "blue collar" jobs in my family, and while they also relate all the downsides of manual labor that you listed, they also see what I do as a clear "no thank you!".

They would, of course, love to be paid as well as I am, and many would love the schedule flexibility (though some of them also get to make their own schedules much like I do), but they feel very strongly that being stuck inside, immobile, spending all their days reading, writing, and talking, mostly on a computer screen, would be totally miserable. So the grass isn't always greener!

I'm the opposite, I certainly fantasize about doing different things that are mostly intellectual, but I know I'm well suited to sitting around reading, thinking, writing, and chatting from time to time.

I didn't really understand this until some of those family members started finishing high school, and I started trying to suggest careers that seemed good to me, and more than one person finally told me, "I don't want to do any of those things because I'll be stuck in front of a computer all day every day and I would hate that". And I think they were right! "Know thyself" is important.

(Note: I'm talking about careers in trades and professions that are not office work. But not entry level jobs at retail businesses like most of your examples. I think everyone does indeed hate working in retail. But not everyone actually does prefer being on a computer in an office to nailing shingles onto a hot roof!)

Another way to read the situation:

The Charter was at the time meant seriously, at least by a certain faction within Hamas.

But with intervening events -- such as the appallingly harsh response to the 2018-2019 border protests; the storming of Al-Aqsa; and the election of the 37th Government (which brought on board not just an unsavory cast of characters, but specific plans for the continued expansion of the Settlements) -- the view took hold that Israeli society was plainly not interested in such overtures.

So as a result, the Charter got flagged and downvoted.

Not for commercial purposes and not in California. Otherwise you’d just hire an impersonator and never pay for celebrity endorsement.
It's gotten a lot better (for me at least) in the last six months. For about a year and a half I had to call around checking inventory before calling my doctor. It made me feel like a junkie and I hated it.

In an ideal world there would be some sort of middleman connected to pharmacies, you have a preferred list of locations, the script automatically gets sent to the one with inventory, and you get notified which pharmacy to go to. Unfortunately no pharmacy would ever opt into this because it would mean risk of losing business. However, if the big pharmacies just offered this feature for their own locations I would definitely always send my script to them.

There's something to say about building a tower of abstractions and then trying to tear it back down. We used to just run a compiler on a machine. Startup time: 0.001 seconds. Then we'd run a Docker container on a machine. Startup time: 0.01 sections. Fine, if you need that abstraction. Now apparently we're booting full VMs to run compilers - startup time: 5 seconds. But that's not enough, because we're also allocating a bunch of resources in a distributed network - startup time: 40 seconds.

Do we actually need all this stuff, or does it suffice to get one really powerful server (price less than $40k) and run Docker on it?
You can fuck up A LOT and retain customers if you're honest and truly working in the customer's favor. The absolute second a customer picks up that you're in it to simply pick their pocket, there will be nothing left but a customer shaped hole in the wall. I have been in situations where we've completely fucked a customer's business causing all kinds of financial damage and customers have stayed because we committed to making things right. I've also been in situations where hubris assumed a sticky customer isn't going to unstick themselves, and of course the customer left.

It's so much better business not to be an asshole. I really don't understand how people can't internalize this.
It would be more useful for humanity to have a commercial use first.
Well, here are some things that aren't really being disputed:

* OpenAI wanted an AI voice that sounds like SJ

* SJ declined

* OpenAI got an AI voice that sounds like SJ anyway

I guess they want us to believe this happened without shenanigans, but it's bit hard to.

The headline of the article is a little funny, because records can't really show they weren't looking for an SJ sound-alike. They can just show that those records didn't mention it. The key decision-makers could simply have agreed to keep that fact close-to-the-vest -- they may have well understood that knocking off a high-profile actress was legally perilous.

Also, I think we can readily assume OpenAI understood that one of their potential voices sounded a lot like SJ. Since they were pursuing her they must have had a pretty good idea of what they were going after, especially considering the likely price tag. So even if an SJ voice wasn't the original goal, it clearly became an important goal to them. They surely listened to demos for many voice actors, auditioned a number of them, and may even have recorded many of them, but somehow they selected one for release who seemed to sound a lot like SJ.
Voices may not be trademarkable but I'm pretty sure styles and intonations are.
I think openai looks pretty bad right now, especially with the "her" tweet, but I can't honestly say these voices sound similar. The her clip is so iconically scarjo and I don't think the sky voice is even that close. I'm not a voice expert and I dont know all the technical terms but it isn't very similar in tone, cadence, or what I want to call texture (?)

I wanted to laugh at and belittle openai when I first saw scarjos claim that her friends and family couldn't tell the difference but from the samples you just linked I find that so unlikely that I think she is lying.
I love that you had to include the /s because someone might actually believe that is indeed the case. What a bizarre world we live in.

I saw a project on GitHub some time ago where someone trained a neural net with only a single, shared weight to play a driving game.

They used a gentic algorithm to evolve the network, its connections and activation functions (per node).

It got quite good.

Perhaps not that surprising that one can encode a lot in the graph structure itself, and given how DNA is quite good at dictating complex organs, I don't see why something similar couldn't be at work for insects and mammals alike. After all, nobody taught the newborn kangaroo babies how to crawl up into the pouch of their mom either.
How is it unfair to the voice actor? Is she getting sued? Is she paying damages? Is she being prevented from doing her work? No.

> Who's to say it isnt the other way around, perhaps it is ScarJo that sounds like me and i'm owed money?
