My claim is not that they hadn't heard of the movie her, but that while setting up auditions, the chain of thought that would lead them to predict a group would take issue in this very particular way (marcus_holmes's assertion that unconsciously favoring the VA's audition would constitute impersonation) that necessitates the proposed rigor (setting up auditions in a way to eliminate possibility of such bias, and paperwork to prove as such), and consider it worthwhile appeasing the group holding this view, is not so certain to have occurred that the seeming lack of such paperwork can be relied on to imply much at all.

I would go further and say that chain of reasoning is not just uncertain to have occurred, but would probably be flawed if it did - in that I don't think it would noticeably sway that group. Opposed to the evidence in the article, or some forms of other possible possible evidence, which I think can sway people.

> The exact sequence of events isn't as important to the anger as you seem to think, though it may be more important to the legal process.

Less the order of events, and more "seeking out an impersonator and asking them to do an imitation" vs "possibility of unconscious bias when selecting among auditions"

This argument has been had a thousand times before, and it would be a waste of time to relitigate it. Suffice it to say that "intrinsic value" is subjective, artists absolutely contribute to the productivity of any society made up mostly of human beings (the subgroup of artisans being strictly necessary for tool-making, if nothing else), and even if they didn't, a "dumb load" is objectively more constructive than the net destructive activity of many whose primary activities have so-called "intrinsic value".

But I'm not here to argue the points I've raised, only to state them, and that the debate you're trying to start is old and counterproductive and not something someone with any amount of introspective ability should want to continue further.

Isn’t that just a container format, like what video and audio files have used for decades?

I don’t know of any existing container formats with support for a relational DB as one of the embedded streams, but the whole point of container formats is that you can add arbitrary metadata, which of course can be a whole database.

Of course, the way BeOS does what OP is talking about is by having many DB columns within the filesystem itself! (The filesystem is a queryable database).

Interesting bit of trivia: the S-matrix concept is also where the so-called S-parameters came from, which are used by RF engineers to describe amplitude and phase relationships at input and output ports [1].

There was some cross-pollination with the physics community in the 1960s that helped the RF people with circuit modeling problems they were facing due to the limitations of existing models. [2] Hewlett-Packard jumped on this with both feet [3], because S-parameters were a natural fit not only for modeling linear devices and circuits, but for measuring them using the vector network analyzers they were developing at the time.

> is considered sort of an anachronism.

I'm not sure this is true. It was always the case that these things were contextual and based a lot on how the artist/musician/author presented themselves. The whole idea of "selling out" is predicated on the assumption you have some high ground to give up, or at least that the action you are taking would undermine strongly held beliefs of your fan base.

When popularity swings more to (obviously) commercially driven output, there is plenty of selling, but less selling "out", as it were. The pendulum will likely swing again.

The quality standard of peer review, especially within computer science, is declining. I've read lots of papers only to discover obvious method flaws or dishonest statistics. With a simple comment section, this would be trivial to filter out.

And don't get me started on the price for publication and for readers that supposedly fund this "detailed peer review process" that misses so many obvious flaws.

The peer review process is still needed, but I would love to see it be more public. I've been wanting this exact thing for years. A simple comment section of the average readers and their thoughts.
>It’s no secret that the Allies won World War II on the back of the U.S.’s enormous industrial output.

The author ignores the USSR completely in their article, except for a brief mention in the graphs (where it's #2). 157k planes is impressive, too, considering that many of the factories had to evacuate to Siberia. 22k planes were also additionally leased by the US and the UK.
Clever. But..

If you're (worst case) is 8 bytes for 61 bits, that's no 0 overhead, but 3 bits overhead.

Another detail is that vu128 is double 64 bits, ie: 17 bytes worst case or 8 bits overhead. Would presumably be 4 bits in your example to represent 124 bit payload.

An "investigation"?

Let's note that OpenAI didn't release the names of the voice talent since they said they wanted to protect their privacy...

So, how do you think the reporter managed to get not only the identity, but also the audition tape from "Sky"? Detective work?

An interesting twist here is that WashPo is owned by Bezos, who via Amazon are backing Anthropic. I wonder how pleased he is about this piece of "investigative reporting"?

> then OpenAI needs to get better lawyers.

Part of being a good lawyer is sometimes "well, this didn't work in 1992 (or whatever) but it might fly now. Let's try it, worst case is X". And, as always, the devil is in the details.
What do you mean by this specifically? What claims does he make? It's hard to respond to this just based on what you wrote. I don't think biologists have claimed that biology isn't complicated, and I don't think anyone claims that DNA isn't complicated either. Unless you are referring to genetics? That is still caused by DNA, just not by gene expression.
It seems reasonable if you're thinking about the amount of material that must be sourced, transported, processed, etc. also serves as a check that the newly produced planes weren't simply 70x smaller than before.

I have a feeling that the tree structure of comments in which most of the discussion usually takes place under the first few most upvoted comments might not be the best to have scientific discourse, but also don't know what would be better.

On the other hand, papers/journals themselves could be seen as a ultra-high latency social network in which replies happen in the form of papers that reference the work they're replying to.

The high latency could be seen as a feature. The ability to post a reply instantly and without much thought definitely degrades quality.
But Cogent do know what happened. The article ends with a quote from them:

> On May 21 at 15:30 UTC the c-root team at Cogent Communications was informed that the root zone as served by c-root had ceased to track changes from the root zone publication server after May 18. Analysis showed this to have been caused by an unrelated routing policy change whose side effect was to silence the relevant monitoring systems. No production DNS queries went unanswered by c-root as a result of this outage, and the only impact was on root zone freshness. Root zone freshness as served by c-root was fully restored on May 22 at 16:00 UTC.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I liked The Pirates of Pestulon. It's also the last EGA SQ to my recollection. Call me weird but the limited palette of EGA graphics appeals to me.

It just didn't have as big an impact on my young self as SQ II.
It's entirely routine for actors and actresses to be replaced in follow up works. The industry is full of examples, but here's 1 off the top of my head:

In iron man 1, Rhodey is played by terrance howard. For iron man 2, he wanted too much money in the contract, so they replaced with with don cheadle.

Wouldn't it be a dumb world to live in if a single actor in the cast can halt the production of a new work via lawsuit because they own the character?
Wow.

I like your art but how do you make money with it?
You're right. Function application is essentially an infix `(` operator. Not sure how I got that wrong.
Yes, and the point of the "enlightened centrist" is that bad actions by a company don't mean that any complaints thrown at them are automatically valid, or that every employee at the company is acting maliciously. Pledging your allegiance to a megacorp is bad, but thinking that the court of public opinion is always correct is just as foolish.
The ussr tried to do this. You can still find lamps made of lead manufactured in that era.
It's already obvious.

230x ship building advantage, more dry tonnage per year than entire 5 year US ship building program in WW2... US advangage over JP in WW2 aws charitably 20:1. That's just in one "mature" industry, PRC isn't just better in US, it's magnitude better than US ever was relative to peers. Another example is their revelation of _one_ gigafactory for 1k cruise missile components a day. JP is buying 400 tomahawks over next few years for 1.5B. PRC indicating they can do that in one shift. US has 4000 stockpiled, replacing at ~100 per year. Some of the production figures are very lopsidded. Meanwhile they're addding about as industrial robots/automation than RoW, and industry is going to get increasingly cheap renewable inputs. The advantages are snowballing.

US still ahead in aviation due to committing to mature tech, but PRC knocking out their 5th J20 already 100+ per year. SpaceX is next as PRC pursues their mega constellation. I think people are prematurely jerking to SpaceX payload lead, they have a short term competitive advantage in doing high capacity launches on "small/medium scale", read: American scale with ~40 resusable rocket fleet. It the economics justified it, no reason PRC wouldn't have 400 falcon 9s. The TLDR is once indigenize tech matures, PRC can pursue incredible economies of scale, and build up enough production capacity to exceed aggregate production of others in 5-10 years.
If you made me take the Pepsi challenge, I probably would not be able to distinguish most similarly-aged Hollywood actress's voices from one another in a blind test. No matter how distinct they start out, hanging around LA seems to turn their voices very similar: Young, white woman, slightly Californian accent, singsong vocal inflections, a little valley girl, a little vocal fry... After a few years, a lot of them kind of start sounding the same.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were literally thousands of voice actors that sounded close enough to any given actress to pass as her.
> I have studied this case

Unless they are a lawyer this means absolutely nothing to me.
Cogent's statement on c.root-servers.org:

"2024‑05‑23 - On May 21 at 15:30 UTC the c-root team at Cogent Communications was informed that the root zone as served by c-root had ceased to track changes from the root zone publication server after May 18.

Edit to add:

This was mentioned on Tuesday on the dns-operations list:

> while we can boot the Actions runner within 5 seconds of a job starting, it can take GitHub 10+ seconds to actually deliver that job to the runner

This. I went the same route with regards to boot time optimisations for [1] (cleaning up the AMI, cloud-init, etc.), and can boot a VM from cold in 15s (I can't rely on prewarming pools of machines -- even stopped -- since RunsOn doesn't share machines with multiple clients and this would not make sense economically).

But the time taken by the official runner binary to load and then get assigned a job by GitHub always takes around 8s, which is more than half of the VM boot time :( At some point it would be great if GitHub could give us a leaner runner binary with less legacy stuff, and tailored for ephemeral runners (that, or reverse-engineer the protocol).

0 overhead in that it takes 8 bytes in memory and up to 8 bytes serialized. You can’t slice a byte partially unless you’re doing packing so I think it’s fair to characterize it as 0 overhead, but sure it’s 3 bits of overhead vs 8. It came up because I had a counter and just arbitrarily cut off the range cause I couldn’t possibly ever have it count that high. But yeah, the same idea could be extended to 128 bits.
If it takes 3 days to be noticed by an outside party, I dare say that whatever caused the issue probably isn't the first problem to fix.
Private Pilot training tends to be in aircraft but when training for expensive, hard-to-book aircraft which require special certifications to fly there's often sim training involved. Sim training is also useful if you're about to fly an aircraft that's similar but not the same as an aircraft you're familiar with.
I went from a galaxy s5 to s22. About 10 years in diff. The functionality for me is nearly identical. Speed the s22 is much snappier I guess. But not something I care much about. I only replaced it because the touch screen started acting up and security updates were non-existent. I was able to keep the thing going for so long precisely because I could swap out that battery easily. To replace the newer ones involves a heat gun and a suction cup. And as jerryrigeverything says 'glass is glass'.
This article literally refutes your statement:

And if you commision an artist to draw a black-leather tight-fit clad red-head superspy in an ad for tour product, it need not look like Black Widow from the MCU.

But if it does look very much like her, it doesn't really matter whether you never intended to.
I like the fundamental idea, but I don't like that structure. My own proposal would be progressive corporate taxation that gets increasingly punitive at extreme scale, intentionally pushing companies to split. We could set the "heel" of the curve higher than existing companies and inflate our way into it to give them plenty of time to prepare. We would need limitations on ownership to prevent "notionally separate but actually owned by the same people" cheating, but that's doable.

It will never happen, of course. The purpose of capitalism is not to serve customers by fostering competition, the purpose of capitalism is to give rich people an excuse to pay themselves for being rich. To establish, reinforce, and perpetuate a class hierarchy where the people on the bottom must constantly pay to exist while the people on top get paid to exist through their stocks, bonds, and real estate holdings. From this cynical perspective monopolies are a feature, not a bug. But if they were a bug, progressive taxation is how you would fix it.
I bought a plotter and began using processing, then P5.JS to make things for it to draw. This was really just all for my own amusement and curiosity. Eventually I began selling the drawings I was making on Etsy, and gained some attention by posting regularly on Twitter under #plottertwitter. Now days, that still exists, but the action is also on Discord, Instagram, and Tiktok.

Once I had a little bit of a following, Casey Reas reached out about doing a group exhibition with Feral File that he was curating. That was a big moment. The release was very successful, and I saw that this path could be viable. It took me another year to fully commit to full time art though.

I think just immersing yourself and starting from the ground up is really important. Learn the basics, don't rush it, and educate yourself along the way. Study past plotter artists and pioneers like Vera Molnar and Harold Cohen. Find your style and iterate.
Signed overflow is officially a 'bug' in rust, it traps in debug mode but silently follows LLVM/platform behavior in release mode.

The general thought was that a simpleton business monkey who made a virtue out of ordering people around and not accepting "no" for an answer would continue to operate autocratically even as the leader of a democratic bureaucracy.

There was a lot of equivocating that it was all some campaign schtick, the media was misrepresenting him, etc. "4D chess" and all that.

It turned out that the straightforward analysis was the correct one. Sometimes a spade really is a spade.

This round he's playing for double or nothing - having broken a bunch of laws is slowly catching up with him. He continues playing the victim while indignantly expressing a desire for overt revenge. We've already seen the mechanisms by which this will happen (paralysis of federal law enforcement, mobilization of paramilitary goon squads into the power vacuum, and political reality distortion field justifying everything as if President is equivalent to Dictator). So yeah by any reasoned analysis, 2024 really is Trump xor America - you decide.

(Once again, standard disclaimer - unaligned libertarian here. I'd never voted for a major party candidate before 2020. Specifically, I considered a 2016 a toss up between two differently-bad options, and still have no regrets there. But now that we've seen a concrete track record as opposed to mere vacuous campaigning, it would be utterly foolish to ignore it)
I finally got round to reading The Passenger and the companion piece Stella Maris. Cormac McCarthy still had it even in his late 80's. Not quite as good as his earlier novels but still very sharp.
This specific statement has been repeated several times in the past on many different websites.

We all know this at this point.

What is being done about it?
No, not really. Increasing the volumetric samples + bounces size is fairly simple. It's just a value in the rendering tab.
I’m not sure what that means. The claim that these planes were built for one way trips is just ahistorical and you can refute it for yourself with a google search.
Founder here - the "up to 3x cheaper than Heroku" depends on the exact compute profile, but as a point of reference, Heroku pricing starts at $250/mo for a single 2.5 GB RAM instance on their Performance tier (https://www.heroku.com/dynos). Generously assuming that you get 2 dedicated vCPU cores, the equivalent Porter cost is ~3-4x cheaper

Handwaving here, but I think longest running machines can't follow a specific structure in general.

Rough sketch of an argument:

Let's construct a number from all intermediate states of the machine concatenated. The number of digits of this number should correspond to the runtime (sketchy). We only care about the halting machines, so it's finite. We know that it must be unique because if a smaller machine computes the same number, we could get a bigger number by simply running the smaller program and doing other nonsense. That means the biggest programs are komolgorov optimal, and the numbers themselves should be k-trivial and thus nearly but not quite computable. Since they're not computable, the programs themselves can't follow a structure to generate them (since that would be computable in turn for larger values).

> Let's not exaggerate. It was a somewhat popular movie, yes, but not really defining and far from the first example of conversational AI speaking woman's voice. There are plenty of examples in movies and TV shows.

I'm honestly surprised so many people are making this argument, seemingly with a straight face.

It would have been a pretty weak argument even without the tweet from Altman - it is not exaggeration to say it is the canonical "AI voice companion" cultural artifact in our times, but the opposite, it requires exaggeration to downplay it - but then the CEO's own marketing of the connection weakens the argument past the point of plausibility.

Surely there are better defenses available! But with this line ... phrases like "don't piss on me and tell me it's raining" and "don't believe your lying eyes" keep popping into my mind for some reason ...
