But what about hips?

Some famous long-distance road cyclists have had hip replacements, such as Floyd Landis (TdF) and Michael Shermer (RAAM).
>Given the fact that Johansson was initially contacted by OpenAI to provide her voice and declined

This order is wrong according to the article, the VA was contracted before ever reaching out to SJ.g

Additionally here is a relevant anecdote, for instance, that may or may not change your mind?

>In a statement from the Sky actress provided by her agent, she wrote that at times the backlash “feels personal being that it’s just my natural voice and I’ve never been compared to her by the people who do know me closely.”

It would suck to be blacklisted from your career because your voice may sound too similar to another famous person, if viewed from a certain light.
Good point. There's already such a project to run PBT based on RBS. I'm also keeping an eye on this.

There is a paper trail in the large business - it just ends when the cash leaves the door as the payment is done by things like bitcoin. Though note the bitcoin isn't as anonymous as the the other side thinks and the FBI has managed to trace bitcoin at times, and they can mark some coins as tainted and so the evil actors have bitcoin that cannot be used, but this is still much more difficult that the large company which has careful records.
The MSFT case was R&D spend, but Infra falls under the Finance&IT bucket, where the available capital is much less.

Altman sure af was trying to invoke a character played by (and widely associated with) Johansson. So...

> Obviously not.

Yesterday there was a massive concentrated effort to spread a fake translation from a gaza video.

It's hard to fight misinformation when it's coming from a state-level actor.
Aside from this clearly being a reactionary decision from Elon to prevent getting roasted with screenshots every time he likes nazi tweets, 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. Just another day on X, the best place for fake news, ragebait, and forced memes. It's honestly impressive how he's managed to fumble the platform this bad.
Only because we let 1% take from us and are easily distracted by petty race, sexuality, gender, immigration squabbles.

I believe it's all Supermicro hardware. We looked into it as well (higher ed) and it was just way too expensive for their NX servers with Intel Silver CPUs.

I've heard stories that it's usually low cost to enter, but when you want more CPU/storage it's ungodly expensive.

Even the initial quote for three hosts was ridiculous for the CPUs offered.
Idea: The UK should ask Russia if it's greenlighting Ukraine to start targeting Russia's suppliers.
> Is this lesser known voice artist now doomed to find a job in a different sector?

The lesser-known voice actor is dooming themselves to find a job in a different sector by contributing to the development of technology that will almost certainly replace all voice actors.
Guidelines for Discussing UX
I believe you.com has their own proper search index? Ecosia and duckduckgo exist purely on ad revenue, any good search engine will be paid for in the future, even Google’s non-ad search results make me hesitant, it’s all SEO spam now, plus chatGPT or Gemini can answer nearly any question when you pay for the real service
OpenAi had been working with the "Sky" voice actress for months before first contacting Scarlett Johansson.

Well we can confidently say that doesn't work.
Companies like this hire 10s or 100s hundreds of thousands ppl who represent infinite amount of opinions, so Id take it with grain of salt.

You can find a lot of ppl in companies like that who arent up to date with mission, marketing or strategy and theres nothing very wrong with that

I really don't understand why the author is so mad at these armchair professionals who think they know better.

You are proposing to change the C language. The risk is great even the smallest change will break the existing code. If you can't convince all of the stakeholders, it's better not to change it. Keep the status-quo.
Will there, though? Or will it just to be those big companies with important, entrenched products making them worse and worse and due to some combination of network effects, entrenchedness in industry, and financial/technical lock-in people will be unable to choose a competitor?

History seems to point to the latter.
> “In any normal conversation a person who climbs literal mountains would be looked at in a positive light.”

It’s irrelevant to most conversations. Someone who regularly brings up their mountain climbing unprompted doesn’t necessarily appear in a positive light.
In my perspective it is more believable to get into AI as a young guy without higher education than someone like me: a middle-aged person with higher education with a family and a reasonable corporate software engineering job. For me to get into AI research, I guess I would have to work for less money for a while than my current boring Software Engineering job, so the golden handcuff prevents me from doing it. While for a young guy there is nothing to lose, they can shoot for the most interesting thing right away. When I was young, I graduated from university with an AI specialization, but no one cared, especially not in Eastern Europe where I live. So I got into reasonably-paying slightly boring software engineering.
To be fair, Ron Paul called the events correctly nearly a decade before the invasion. Ukraine is just a sacrificial lamb in preserving US hegemony by weakening Russia and of course, a classic laundering operation for the MIC.

I think Kissinger put it best: “It may be dangerous to be an enemy of America, but it is fatal to be a friend.”
This is pretty gross misuse of the word “slavery”.
Ethics aside - if anyone thinks chatGPT didn’t walk through the legality of there moves beforehand and their procedures they followed (which I'm sure are documented) I would be shocked. They are moving fast but id be certain that they knew they had relatively good legal footing. Johansson is rightfully taking them to court - likely this is all maneuvering for a settlement.

Either way this brings up artists rights in an AI world which is a good thing.
If that's not training, then it is, as you say in your suggested prompt... Imitation. You think that's somehow better?
100% this.

I'm in the exact same camp, bur for some reason HN crowd thinks that Scarlet has a right here as the other voice actor has a similar voice. Apparently there's an [archaic] law called right to publicity (or something like that) that makes even working with someone with a similar voice illegal. According to that restrictive logic no one can do anything on Earth as they might be doing/looking/sounding similar to someone else who might get offended, as everyone's offended by literally anything nowadays.

I frankly want to see a lawsuit of OpenAI vs Scarlet on this one, where OpenAI wins.
Along with the reasons others have mentioned, it would also bypass any filter driver in the file system stack (Windows has the concept of a stack of filter drivers that can sit in front of the file system or hardware) and would also ignore any permissions (ACLs) on who can see those files. There’s no way they can credibly use this technique outside of say something from SysInternals: it violates the security and layering of the operating system and its APIs.
You don't have to do these migrations, but you should be able to do them because basic security maintenance of systems require regular patching, reboots, downtimes, etc. Setting up a new VM and deploy the apps/services takes minutes, not days.

The infra has to be setup to support downtime of systems (not all at once obviously).
Many companies are trying to find new growth to satisfy their shareholders. We all understand that growing growth is unsustainable, but that doesn't matter, they just 'have to'.

VR and Crypto/Blockchain didn't pan out, so now the new hotness is AI. There is an opportunity to make something useful out of AI that people want to pay for, in order to keep shareholders happy.

AI is especially interesting for shareholders as it allows you to cut down on labour cost for certain professions. It's an almost ideal tool for creating shareholder value.

Yet, I think the hype will come crashing down eventually. Because we know that it's all statistics and no actual reasoning. Cool that your service now has new AI features that tells me things, but why would I believe any of it?

Meanwhile, I'm pondering what the next hype will be. Not VR for sure. 'Normal' people don't want to wear heavy stuff on their head messing up their hair. Fun for games but let's be real.

But I have absolutely no sense of direction where things are headed, if there even is such notion. What I do observe is that society is more diverging between the haves and the have-nots.
It's funny how finding out about corporate misdoing has almost a common ritual attached to it. First shock and dismay is expressed to the findings, then the company leadership has to say it was a mistake (rather than an obvious strategy they literally signed off on), we then bring up the contradiction. Does this display of ignorance from every side really need to take place? Why bother asking for an explanation, they obviously did the thing they obviously did and will obviously do as much as possible to keep doing as much of things like that they can get away with.

I have tried different sleep medications, but the one that worked best for me was Mirtazapine. Although it is an atypical tetracyclic antidepressant, it works well before bedtime, plus it can be taken not regularly, but only when needed.

My doctor and I tried escitalopram (lexapro?) and setraline, but the former turned me into a sleepy vegetable 18 hours a day, I could stay in bed all day, or even all week, even with the lowest dosage.
The second one had no effect at all, whether I drank it or not.

I also tried Quetiapine for sleep, it has a plus in that it does not cause any dependence and it is easy to stop taking it, but its effectiveness is so bad, although it is better than nothing if you have terrible problems with sleep.
And the top results of Google. I've recently had to re-train my brain on Kagi where the top results are now ... the actual top results and not ads.
I think this is mostly true. IT/Software in general are a lot less focused on proxies for success than other fields, I think that is largely because it is much easier for individuals to learn skills outside of a professional setting, it is also much easier to validate knowledge and competency than in other fields; and, of course, there are many other factors such as a more progressive workforce, etc.

I was very lucky to have a professor who pulled me aside and steered toward IS. Once I got my first post-degree job, the company I worked for was happy to help me develop technical competency.

Even if your prediction is correct, the immediate benefits in day-to-day life for people with ADHD cannot be overlooked.

Thus far, the only serious side effects I’m aware of are:

* A slight increase in cardiovascular-related conditions in the first few years after starting stimulant medication. This can be mitigated to a large extent by not using stimulants if your resting heart rate or blood pressure are already elevated.

* An increased risk of manic episodes for people already predisposed to bipolar disorder, again, for stimulant medications. If someone in your family has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, don’t use a stimulant to treat ADHD.

Here’s [0] a meta-study on the subject.

As a software developer, I'm anxious about the AI gold rush being a bubble that's about to pop.

I've been unemployed ever since the Great 15% Layoffs, about 14 months ago. I finally landed a job (well, once the paperwork is done) related to bringing up a new processor. But it's a DL accelerator.

I really hope there's not another employment bloodbath if/when the AI bubble bursts, since my savings are pretty much depleted.
I completely agree with this. Have you ever noticed how very tall but narrow buildings (i.e. skyscrapers) are never as physically imposing as bulky, monolithic buildings that are as nearly as wide as they are tall?
A reputation system is about the only way to make federated or decentralized systems be robust against bad actors. Attaching financial incentives from an automated network isn't sufficient because the financial incentives to be a bad actor could very quickly outpace the incentives to be a good actor.
First pictures from Euclid satellite reveal billions of orphan stars
what you say is partially true (you can also of course use -E to check macros) but:

- macros are also standard C++ features too, so this point doesn't differentiate between those languages

- i'm failing to adequately communicate my point. there's a fundamental difference practically and philosophically between macro stupidity and C++ doing things under-the-hood. of course a user (you, a co-developer, a library author you trusted) can do all sorts of stupid things. but it's visible and it's written in the target language - not hard-coded in the compiler.

yes - sure, good luck finding the land-mine "b" macro if it was well buried. but you can find it and when you do find it, you can see what it was doing. you can #undef it. you can write your own version that isn't screwed up, etc.

you can do none of those things for operations in c++ that occur automatically - you can't even see them except in assembly.
> That's exactly what other languages like Haskell or Rust are praised for.

You making a trivial change, and suddenly there are entire new classes of bugs all over your code is an aspect that does really not receive any praise. People using those two languages work hard on avoiding that situation, and it clearly feels like a failure when it happens.

The part about pointing problems at compile time so the developer will know it sooner is great. And I imagine is the part you are talking about. But the GP was talking about the other part of the issue.
Yes, and this was done a long time ago in places. While your kid might end up killed when the kidnapper realizes they can't get money from you, the criminals won't bother kidnapping again since there is no money in it and so overall society is much better - sorry that it was your kid that was killed.

The rules are complex here. If your kid really is kidnapped ask the FBI (or local equivalent). Often they can pay a random on your behalf - with money they have means to trace. Sometimes if your life is in danger you can pay a bribe - but be sure to report to the FBI (or local equivalent) as soon as you are safe.
Missing on social media was a pretty big error for Google, right?
The same panic is happening on the adoption side where managers want to be seen keeping up with the latest tech. They are spending money of haphazardly executed OpenAI API integrations without understanding how they work Every business and gov org I speak to these days is working on an "AI policy".

Question for OP. What would be your guess that someone like he article writer is able to make the inference that Bing being down was also impacting DDG or ChatGPT ?

Is it public knowledge that they use the Bing backend to do their work ?

Particularly for Bing Copilot, isn't the relationship the other way around (OpenAI has the core sauce, bing uses its API to power their copilot searches) ?
It's okay everyone. Silicon Valley will save us. Pay no mind to the "mistakes" they've made over the last 60 years.
I'll see if I can go back and figure out where I lost track of things. I believe it was right around when making the message entry box functional. I ended up having to dig into the repo to see what I was missing.
I think the fact there are relays (servers) would make this fall under a federated category from a technology perspective.

I think the author makes a good point that in actuality it’s centralized.

This is akin to Bitcoin which as a technology is decentralized but realistically and socially has become centralized.
You should relook at history.
> Children do need to socialize with family, friends, and the society they participate in, but they can do that without school

Can they? How? The way we did it before was to have many children so they had siblings. And we also had child labor.
The supply of used AI chips could be flooded in a year or two if companies that can’t really use them are buying them today.
> in my experience, running moonshots needs someone who is inherently lazy

What is your experience with moonshots?
Looks great thank you. I see there's a !brave bang for duckduckgo too so no need to change up browser defaults.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with Wellbutrin, and feeling comfortable that I've felt similarily about it. Hope this won't threadjack but I don't think it's uncommon for ADHD and antidepressants to be prescribed together (although you may not have taken them at the same time) so there's value in others' experiences too.
Because of laws and regulations like these, innovation is getting slower and slower.

I'm afraid the whole world will get regulated like EU someday, crippling innovation to a point that everyone's afraid to break a law that they aren't even aware of, and stop innovating.
There will be some upstarts that win, but they will be acquired and integrated by the big firms anyway.

So, one way or the other, we'll end up with some variation of your scenario.
You can safely assume that nothing ever dies of hunger.

It doesn't matter, though; none of your results will be different either way.
You're reminding me of the takes in the original dot-com bubble — which was indeed a bubble, don't get me wrong — all the nay-sayers 24 years ago asking why anyone would want to shop or bank online, missing that it was easy, fast, cheap, convenient, and sufficiently good.

Of course, just a lot of companies went under when that bubble collapsed, and there's no guarantee that any of the current AI players will make the right move this time either.

AI and the Human Asymptote
I've seen a lot of doomerism lately due to the slowing progress in peak AI intelligence. People were expecting GPT5, so GPT4o seems underwhelming from a raw intelligence standpoint. I think this limited improvement in state of the art performance at the same time that open source models are rapidly closing the performance gap is highly revealing.
> Some of you may remember Google's much-hyped AI voice "Duplex," which was supposed to automate all those annoying phone calls and call centers. That was in 2018, six years ago. Since then, we've seen how it's turned out

Reasonably successfully?

Call screen is easily one of the best features of my phone. Call hold navigation is also really useful. It calling restaurants and the like is not something I commonly use but it works and I've used it sometimes.
If the DL Accelerator has a decent Fed Sales muscle and/or you are working on features that are truly critical for the business (as in $$$ making features) you will be fine.

A lot of the 15% bloodbath was also because of severe overhiring during Covid's 0% interest rate times, so AOPs needed to be reworked for a high interest rate period.

> that would probably make a huge blow to that (subconscious) mental picture.

And?

Okay, so let's say this happens, and now some people think: "Wow China is more powerful in space than the US!".

What is the real world impact of this? Did Chinas army just get 10x more powerful? Does the CPP now own the moon? Did Chinas [economic challenges][1] suddenly disappear? Did their [demographic issues][2] suddenly improve?

No, of course not.

The only real world impact of this: China would now be faced with the choice between blowing billions upon billions of dollars anually for what is essentially a vanity project with little to no ROI, or find a way to abandon it quitely without too much public fanfare. And of course, the whole thing is constantly only one malfunctioning airlock away, from turning into a pile of dead astronauts and a complete PR desaster.

So please tell me, and you are completely right, I am not a geopolitics expert, in terms I can understand, what the specific and tangible benefits of building a Moon-/Mars-Base/NewMannedSpaceStation/etc. are supposed to be, in terms of geopolitics.

And sure, I can see some change to mental images, and yeah, that might e.g. attract some business that would otherwise be somewhere else, or make the odd contract negotiations go smoother. But at the end of the day, these advantages, such as they are, would still need to offset the pricetag of the whole show, and I don't believe they would.

> Sam Altman forced her to represent a product, forever. That’s fucked up.

He never mentioned her by name, he pointed out how the AI demo OpenAI created is similar to the _character_ from Her.

If you don't want to be linked to a character forever, maybe don't act? It's just such a ridiculous statement to make. Like making an argument that no one should talk about Obi Wan because Alec Guinness didn't like being recognized from Star Wars.
Technically true. Though the quotes clearly warn (if you're familiar with English-language journalism conventions) that the phrase is metaphorical, or alleged by a 3rd party, or some such.

But meanwhile - trying to re-brand "AI" as "slAveI" strikes me as an excellent tactic for human rights & worker rights groups to use.

Not really - there are no good options. Hamas kidnapped a bunch of people and Isreal's response to get back at Hamas is called a genocide for good reason - a lot of innocent people are dead as collateral damage. (or at least seemingly innocent, some of them support Hamas maybe). I have yet to see anyone suggest of a way to handle terrorists that doesn't result in more innocent victims in some form.
