Honestly, I’d feel a lot more secure about building on this if you did take (for example) a small fixed fee every month. Or a 10% commission on any requests (volume discounts on that commission for high-volume users?).

If I start using you now you’ll either disappear in the future or you’ll suddenly start charging more, neither of which I like.

I’m already paying for inference, a little amount on top of that for the convenience of a single API is pretty useful.
This is already the case. In the West, Seattle for example, electric heat is very common while in the Midwest it is not.

Presumes the purpose of going to school is to be crammed full of facts.

But you also learn to write, express yourself, solve problems, use facts that you currently know to some purpose, encounter ideas and subjects you would not have otherwise, socialise, etc.

I do agree that the emphasis people place on facts is misguided. It just happens to be easier to test facts, so a lot of schooling is oriented around them.

My son just complained that he did a maths problem, got the correct answer using a simpler method than the one the teacher was looking for, and got zero points, because he didn't use the approved method. In my world, he exhibited great thinking. In school world he didn't do what makes it easy for them to give him a mark.
3 years for an iPad is very unusual?

But I’ve bought new Galaxies that don’t get updates within 2 years.

But I also have a Surface laptop bought in 2019 that won’t get updated after 2025. Sure I can run Linux but it was my wife’s machine, so that will go over like a ton of bricks.
> So its: ask Johansson, get declined, ask casting directors for the type of voice actors they are interested in, listened to 400 voices, choose one that sounds like the actor

Except it doesn't sound like Johansson, I don't know why people keep saying this. At best, the voice has a couple of similar characteristics, but I didn't think for one second that it was her. Can James Earl Jones sue if someone uses a voice actor with a deep voice?

Then what were OpenAI hoping to get out of their association with her? Why go to the effort of getting in contact? Why reference the film Her?

Their whole business is based on computer sharing. There's a lot of microservices to make it happen.
> There are German car manufacturers who have the nerve to in 2024 release new models that do not even have a heat pump build in.

I mean, yeah, you can get a trim without a heat pump. And if you live somewhere with mild weather, then you should probably do that, as the heat pump's contribution to range will not be significant, and it's extra cost and maintenance vs resistive heating.

looks like before they're just funding the whole project until some sort of conclusion

now looks like they'll focus on early stage funding (angel/seed) and spin off companies to gather funding from 3rd parties to further develop

which means Google will let go off of equity at early stages
This types of estimate is sadly deeply flawed. Voices are affected not just by ethnicity but also language and culture. I know because I can feel slight noticeable differences in tones between communities just 30-50 miles apart, within same social classes and everything. Bilinguals also sound noticeably different to monolinguals even in their primary language.

I think people thinks others sound same not because they're similar from beginning, but because voices must homogenize under peer pressures. There's a proverb "nails that sticks out gets hammered". Most people probably has hammered flat voices intended to not stand out.
Yea, Cursive is the best by far for doing Java interop. It is really good.
Prior to the Russia-Ukraine situation they actually did offer Yandex results if you set your region to Russia. It was interesting sometimes to see if there were any more useful top results. So at one point the claim was accurate.
Okay I looked it up, and the default is max-jobs=auto (uses # of logical cores) and cores=0 (each job can use all threads), so if I have a machine with 16 cores and 32 threads, it may run 32 jobs at the same time, where each job is allowed to use 32 threads.

The plane could absolutely get off the ground, especially if the flaps were set before engine start or on the previous landing.

Further to my point, the ground point was in an inaccessible location. Hence why it was able to come loose without being noticed, making it even more unlikely to be tampered with.

In addition, it's not like the Soviet Union needed to engineer convenient accidents to kill undesirable people, they were more then happy to do it openly.

Finally as an aside, as an actual aircraft mechanic I have some suggestions about where you can put your thoughts on my line of thinking.

No it doesn't.
>Interesting, I am just getting into hobby and it looks like not many are flying dji for racing, some fly dji air unit ( just the video cam for video tx/rx but drone hardware rarely for freestyle. Even for cine dji does not dominate. What’s really cool is that a lot of people build and modify their drones as flying acro can lead to a lot of crashes:-)

Yeah, as I said for FPV and for non-video, people fly other stuff.

But for non-FPV and also for video (meaning the millions doing: content creators, news, advertising, corporate, event videos, etc - don't know what Hollywood uses) typically use DJI.
The claim that onshape runs in a gpu-enabled AWS instance and 'streams the result' to your browser seems far-fetched. I haven't investigated, but I don't have the best internet connection and onshape isn't laggy like anything else built like that. It's possible the core solvers run elsewhere, but the UI and other interactions are definitely all rendered locally.

Genuine question, are distributed systems naturally more resilient?

I can see arguments for both sides. Your point and then the hidden failure modes without central observability and ownership. Nothing exists in isolation.

Change the default temp file prefix to be "SQLite" spelled backwards
If you refer to the color and not the composition, it's called halftone. Unlike analog halftones, you calculate where to place the dots in a way that minimizes visual error, called dithering.
I guess my point is that even for key input, you don't need terminfo. Modern terminals, and I would agree with your definition of that, all use the same keyboard encodings. There is the notable case of backspace/delete you mentioned but as I said - you can treat both as a backspace press.

All of that said, I am a huge proponent of the kitty keyboard protocol. I would love to live in a world where the "default" encoding of keys is done with the that protocol (with the disambiguate flag on)
That is not a good comparison. NeXT was far more than "a BSD". It was a whole bunch of frameworks, development tools, applications, and a hardened team that had already ported to several other architectures. BeOS was still mostly vision at that point.
I guess the $150m+ nw acts as a bit of a cushion/retirement nest egg. I mean longer run in terms of AI development - if it gets very polarised I’m not sure you want to be the poster girl
> What is clear is OpenAI referenced Her in marketing it.

Because they're building a voice-mediated AI, duh.
When the outage started, for me duckduckgo.com just returned no results with the searchbar visible. The ddg homepage was still working. I've been using "my search term !g" for now and ddg just redirects my search to Google, so I don't have to change search provider in browsers.
I also have mixed results with using the iPad as an external monitor. It works every time, but it's orders of magnitude more fiddly than an actual monitor.

Exposing it as a monitor sounds like a much nicer interface, although I don't think Apple wants that, since it wouldn't work wirelessly.
Interesting-- I wonder if criminal behavior is embedded in DNA...

I agree and am really frustrated at how little they’re actually allowed to socialize. Recess is 20 minutes in our elementary and a lot of days they just skip it if they’re behind in classes.

Then they have to put their heads down on the table for the last 5 minutes of the 20 minute lunch. No one can explain what that’s about. Getting calm to leave lunch I guess.
Wow I certainly did not expect this to catch the ears of The JGC. I shot an email, thanks!
If they ask James Earl Jones to do it, he says no, and then they hire someone with a deep voice in order to sound like him? Yes.
Not talking about Hollywood or high end film sets. Or something like a Nike or Superbowl ad, which has the budget of a small movie.Those can use anything, even real life helicopters. Also not familiar what they use for sports (another special case).

But for millions doing content creation (professionally), news, ads, events, and such, I see DJI dominating. Again, I mean the non-FPV space (unfamiliar with that).
I suspect also a _lot_ of id.3s and 4s, and Hyundais. Anecdotally, in Dublin, when I see a newly-registered electric car these days (Irish number plates have the year of registration as part of the number), nine times out of 10 it's either a Hyundai/Kia, or some sort of VW.

That said, I think BYD was pretty late to get a right-hand drive model on the market, so they may be underrepresented here.
For Windows folks who want to use iPad as a second display, Luna Display is wonderful: https://astropad.com/product/lunadisplay/

I bought an iPad to use as a secondary portable Windows display and got a lot of mileage out of it. Though I honestly get even more mileage as a device for taking video calls.

That being said I agree with claims that the M4 is overpowered for my use. I was sold on more on the ‘just works’ nature of it, lightness, and screen size/quality. I just upgraded to an M4 entirely for that beautiful OLED.

I blame shitty recommendation system of Youtube for not making it easily available. They have high engagement sections like Gaming etc but not Education. Just goes on to show their priorities.
The compiler is illustrative. A large piece of Rust software, nevertheless easier to read and contribute to when compared to similar software in the same category.
> Good move, and plenty more like this will happen.

What is a good move? Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying, but I thought the main lesson from the whole VMware fiasco would be that IT departments would not rely on a single vendor/hypervisor in the future. This consolidation just increases their dependence on Nutanix, does it not?

> Large customers are sticky. You can't migrate your hypervisor or cloud provider overnight. These are multi-year projects.

Yes, but that scale, everything is an multi-year effort.
The contracts likely as well.
That doesn't mean, it's not going to happen.

And it's not like all has to happen in one go.

So before you were all in VMware, and that vendor is practically promising to hike up the prices to make you bleed.

What are you gonna do?

I'd rather start early to have a migration path, even if it is just for negotiation purposes.
And if it's someone who has the resources to that, it's large customers.
AFAIR MFT access requires Administrator/SYSTEM rights and there is absolutely no way to read it as a regular user.

The only workaround (used by Everything by VoidTools) is to install a service which would run with a needed rights and communicate with it in the GUI.

Stored program computing didn't spring out of Zeus' forehead; radix and merge sorting were already a computing thing in the epoch of punched cards.
Maybe they didn't need SJ to do anything to train the voicebot as it was already trained with the material from the movie.

(I'm in a camp that Sky voice doesn't really like Johansson's)
I used to work for an enterprise software vendor that had LOTS of customers, and losing a single customer was painful but didn’t really affect that much. I’m now at a much smaller company, and I feel like it’s noticeable in the stock price when we gain or lose a customer. Kinda scary, but exciting at the same time. No idea if it’s just my brain inventing patterns.

What's the name for this particular rhetorical method? I see it often.
The only way is to use another OS. There are way too many other privacy leaks, many of which can't be turned off at all.
They lost the fun snark and just went pissy and needlessly edgelordy 10 years ago.

It’s not the great site it was in the 90s anymore when it was fair, balanced and fun, along with having accurate news.

Yes that one. Just use it and see. It's blazing fast.
It's not really hard, but they reportedly have better customer support than e.g. Google.
Prisons is an apt analogy. If you think otherwise you probably went to a uniquely good school or were high charisma and avoided bullying. But that's not everyone's experience.

Human children socialized just fine in the 100k years that we didn't have schools. The purpose of schools is to bring economies of scale to education. That's great, but if we can figure out a way to deliver education at scale without schools and all the negative side effects of schools, that'd be even better.
I don't think the people drafting such laws have 2nd order thinking
At the same time, I think asking a person or a parent requires much more will power than asking a computer (for whatever reason -- but part of it is just that a teacher might not have as much time as a child needs/wants). I do agree the social accountability of a good one-on-one teacher is the most ideal -- for me I got that from my parents/siblings. But lots of folks don't have access to that, and school systems don't have the resources to supply that, so maybe AI might be a good middle ground.
>are distributed systems naturally more resilient?

All else being equal: Yes.

It's like asking if a RAID1 is more resilient than a single drive.
They started changing the definitions in C++11 to support move semantics. I don't remember much about C++98, that was decades ago. If that's what the Standard said back then I'll take your word for it, but I wasn't talking about historical C++ Standards.

Keep in mind, my original comment was pretty much just drawing a line through TFA, which also argues that you can't cleanly map C++ object concepts onto C structs. C++ has some backwards compatibility with C obviously but nowadays it's a totally separate language with an independent standards body (for better or worse). Specifying "do what C does" might have flown in 1998 but that changed a long time ago.

Is there any quality difference between hiring a voice actor specifically to provide the voice for an AI compared to cloning an actor's voice from their movies?

Much of the coverage I've seen thorough social media on this (including Johansson's statement) gives the impression that this is what OpenAI did. If the quality of doing that would be worse than using a voice actor to imitate Johansson's voice, what is the value of the publicity which gives the impression that their technology is more advanced than it is, compared to whatever they end up settling this for?
That's how some 'trick' card decks work, for anyone unfamiliar
I don't think you understand. It's extremely well established in law, you can't approach someone to voice an advert for you, get told no, and then hire an impersonator to do it. Take all the AI hype bullshit and the cult of personality bullshit out of it. What Altman did is very standard and very clearly not allowed. He will end up paying for this in monetary terms, and paying further for it in the reputation damage - in that no one can trust OpenAI to conduct business in good faith.
Also looking from the perspective of the lesser known voice actress, does Scarlett Johansson have the right to trample the lesser known voice artists future job opportunities by intimidating her previous employers?

Imagine being a potential future employer of the lesser known artist, would you dare hire her in the face that Johansson's lawyers might come after you?

Is this lesser known voice artist now doomed to find a job in a different sector?

Voice archetypes are much much older than Johansson, so by symmetry arguments, could those earlier in line sue Johansson in turn?

When a strong person is offered a job at the docks, but refuses, and if then later another strong person accepts the job, can the first one sue the employer for "finding another strong man"?

At some point the courts are being asked to uphold exceptionalist treatment and effectuate it on tax-payers dollars moving executive branches in case of non-compliance.
I would guess that the initial is not the important thing, but that the strike is present on both copies of the contract.
>The "victims". Most of those victims have only themselves to blame. They are more often than not quite public and successful companies that couldn't are less about security.

The basic issue is that, say, 8 year old hardware is still pretty functional in a lot of cases but that’s probably near the support limit of even fairly long-term OS and app support.

I’m mostly ok on a couple Macs because I really only use them as browsers anyway. But with iPads and iPhones they really become useless without updates after a while.

I’ve been using an iPhone X as a spare phone for travel but it finally stopped charging and I see it’s out of support so not worth fixing.
Also sam had a one word tweet: “her.” So it looks like there was something going on.

This is why things are decided by juries. You may well truly believe this all seems unrelated and above board. But very few people will agree with you when presented with these facts, and it would be hard find them during a jury selection.
I'm surprised that an executive or lawyer didn't realise the reputational damage adding these clauses would eventually cause the leadership team.

Were they really stupid enough to think that the amount of money being offered would bend some of the most principled people in the world?

Whoever allowed those clauses to be added and let them remain has done more damage to the public face of OpenAI than any aggravated ex-employee ever could.

In particular, I'm pretty sure you can bake a voice model well enough for a canned demo in two days given we have cloning algs which will do it with 15 seconds of samples.

Production ready? Probably not, but demos don't have to be.
They went shopping for a new vendor by sending out a request for proposal to multiple companies.

That doesn't seem likely given his ego and personality and apparent tendency to micromanage.

The problem is the premise that one can effectively decide the value of an employee's work by counting LOC or reading their output in that manner at all. It's dumb whether it's done with a REPL or a stack of paper.
It's good sci-fi.

If I play the voices back to back, nobody thinks they're the same person.

If I ask which one is SJ, people that have seen her films know, those who don't, don't. (Hint, only one sounds hoarse like early smoker voice and self-assured even in the 'Her' role, only one sounds impossibly 2020s valley girl chipper and eager to please.)

Sure seems like all the dogpiling last week either didn't do a basic listen or ignored it, as it's much better for click farming to mock the cock of the walk.
Consolidation is a good move, because it minimizes your overhead from a team management and procurement management basis.

Infra is a cost center at the end of the day.

> I thought the main lesson from the whole VMware fiasco would be that IT departments would not rely on a single vendor/hypervisor in the future

Can you justify spending 2x your hypervisor budget when that same pot of money could be used to hire more engineers who make the product the company is selling?
