> Search is a very different story, you wouldn't want to have to do a full directory scan for text based search. So some level of indexing would be useful for a client mail service.

I don't know; my ~/code directory has tons of stuff and searching with ripgrep doesn't seem too slow:

% time rg HelloWorld | wc -l
4
rg HelloWorld > /dev/null 0.13s user 0.12s system 99% cpu 0.251 total

% time rg string | wc -l
57813
rg string > /dev/null 0.20s user 0.14s system 99% cpu 0.339 total

Rough estimate of files that rg will search:

% scc
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Language Files Lines Blanks Comments Code
…
Total 11024 1864982 175565 208777 1480640
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Finding close to 60k matches in 11k files/1.7M lines in about 0.3 seconds isn't too bad.

It should be said I ran a few commands on that directory before the above results, so there's probably some filesystem caching going on, but I can't be bothered to reboot.

For many (not all, obviously) cases I think you may be able to get away without a index. Most people aren't subscribed to tons of email lists and get maybe a few emails a day at the most.

I'd consider anything below ~3 seconds to be fine for search, so this scales to about 100k files/emails. At 10 emails/day on average that's about a decade. Most people do not get 10 emails/day on average.

And you can even do some "poor man indexing" by just making a new directory every five or ten years. Most of the time you want just emails from the last year or so.
> Genuine question, what's wrong with trying to replicate in real life an idea from a SciFi movie ?

The thing is, there are several cases where a jury found this exact thing to warrant damages.

But honestly, that is irrelevant. The situation here is that OpenAI is facing a TON of criticism for running roughshod over intellectual property rights. They are claiming that we should trust them, they are trying to do the right thing.

But in this case, they're dancing on the edge of right and wrong.

I don't mind when a sleazy company makes "MacDougals" to sell hamburgers. But it's not something to be proud of. And it's definitely not a company that I'd trust.
I wrote a comment to this exact effect yesterday. We didn't have both sides of the story, let's give Sam/OAI, like, literally just a single day to present their own side. And now he did, and I am sure all the people shouting down Sam at every turn still give no shits and will move the goalposts.

That doesn't mean anything. They could have been and were likely developing the process and technology while having Johansson in mind the whole time.

> never had the movie Her or SJ's name mentioned to her a single time

How do you know that?
Not very theoretical. But with 'nerd sniping' focus I tended to create my own tech unnecessarily, and wasting too much effort to optimize things that do not necessarily need to be that much optimized. Nowadays I try to reuse other people's code as what I really enjoy is to create the end-product.
Debugging is a known sore point with OCaml for example. But what is the problem with the Haskell RTS or the OCaml runtime? Why is it not “anywhere as mature” as Python’s or something like Node for JS?

Python’s had the GIL while Haskell has had a well functioning parallelized runtime for a long time. And both Haskell and OCaml’s runtimes outperform Python’s and are on par with Node.[1]

As for documentation, every time I come back to Hoogle,[2] I remember how I miss it in other languages that just don’t have anything similar going. The lack of types doesn’t help, and reading the documentation of the Python standard library or a popular library like torch is sometimes like solving a puzzle because it’s unclear what a function or a class constructor really does or even what class’ instance it returns.

[1] https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... for CPU usage but their memory usage is comparable too, and OCaml’s benefits from the language’s eagerness.

> they took a principled stand to not show their prices in place where it would LOOK worse (without being worse)

I bet they weren't too unhappy about not paying an agent/referral fee to these "price comparison sites" (that are really often travel agents themselves, or are at least getting a commission from those or the airline directly).

For related reasons, Easyjet or Ryanair (I forgot which one) was not available for booking through the regular GDSes for the longest time, which made them unavailable for booking through traditional travel agents not directly integrating with their proprietary inventory system. I bet that was as much about not wanting to pay the incumbents' fees as much as it was about being "modern API forward".

> You also run the risk of triggering an exodus of talent, since engineers will recognize this as the part where the bozos come in, and now the workplace isn't run by smart people who they can learn from.

The phenomenon is known as 'the elves leaving middle earth', per a 2009 Steve Blank post:

https://steveblank.com/2009/12/21/the-elves-leave-middle-ear...

Per Steve's post, the real wake-up call is typically some beancounter deciding to charge for the free sodas in the break room. But I would agree that hiring a bozo manager is equally as much of a wake up call.

> To get wealthy, you cannot get diversified

Sure, but not diversifying is also one of the most efficient ways to go broke. Which is something that diversifying will make much more difficult.

Also, full baloney. I was not diversifying for many years and it indeed made me great money (thanks MSFT). But when I started getting spooked and diversified, guess what?

I still ended up doing pretty well, even if it wasn’t on the same level as before (look up MSFT share price change between the start of 2017 and 2021). But it was so much safer and reliable, going broke wasn’t as much of a concern, and I knew I was much more secure in case of a downturn. Winning on risky triple digit percentage gains feel great, but I would rather take much safer diversified 50-60% gains over a 3 year period instead.

Not saying that those 50-60% gains are even close to what I would expect from truly safe plays. But safety and risk is a spectrum, and you have more choices than just “fully diversified super safe index funds” and “all-in on one single ticker.” You can adjust and make things diversified and safer than all-inning on a single ticker, while still maintaining some amount of risk that would allow for outsized gains.

The US is doing great over at SpaceX. It's just Boeing who are kind of crap these days.

Quite a lot is explained if you listen to Musk on the founding of SpaceX around 5:20 where he is talking about a small team of top engineers and not much management. Boeing is I think not like that https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1791029436651102240
No, there is no problem because the people who dismiss the study are the same hypocrites who would've accepted the study if the results had been reversed.

Moreover, at this point, the burden of proof is squarely on the ones claiming safety, as they're the ones preaching for it to continue to be added to the water supply.

Being that there are numerous studies showing harm, the need for expertise in interpretation goes out of the window. If someone is still claiming it, odds are that they want to gatekeep and empower only themselves, not you. They want you to keep paying them to be the holy priests while you remain their servant.

The amber source of that is [here](https://docs.amber-lang.com/basic_syntax/basic_syntax) and contains:

// Define variables
let name = "John"
let age = 30

// Display a greeting
echo "Hello, my name is {name}"

// Perform conditional checks
if age < 18 {
echo "I'm not an adult yet"
} else {
echo "I'm an adult"
}

So there is no input, everything is known statically. No sanitation required. Any additional checks done by amber in the bash code is unnecessary.
Which would be a pretty cute and dry violation of likeness rights.

It wouldn't matter if they implemented "E2E" encryption. "E2E" is necessary but insufficient for messaging security. It would still be a terrible idea to rely on Bluesky DM's, even if they met some floor of cryptographic quality, for the same reason that it's a bad idea to use Facebook DMs, despite their cryptography being close to the gold standard for large scale social apps.
The Physics of Portals (Made with Love) [video]
I agree that the furry interpretation of privacy is intimidating, but at the very least I think Bluesky could start with generating a private key on each client device, and then using a simple box algorithm to encrypt messages towards the user they want to talk to. The PDS could store these messages encrypted, so the PDS owner cannot read the messages.

I don't think https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/ is hard to mess up. Similar to the interior of a furry suit, you won't know what is going on in there.

The mail protocol is plain text so it’s not difficult to save emails as individual files. I had such setup some years ago for a company. Emails were stored in one folder per week, each email in its own subfolder with attachments extracted and a meta text file. References were in a database.

I also remember working with a windows email server that saved all emails only as files, no db, although the directory structure was more complicated. But that was maybe 20 years ago…
> That said, with all the publicity around this, maybe OpenAI at least partially achieved their aim?

I think they 1000% did, because despite all the fuss there is actually no resemblance between the Sky voice and Scarlett Johansson's. The Sky voice is in a different pitch, doesn't have the vocal fry, doesn't have the slightly nasal tone. Listen for yourself[1].

This was a marketing coup for both OpenAI and Johannson. OpenAI, because they're in no danger of a negative judgment, Johansson because she gets her name all the place in the press and drums up free publicity for her film.

'It made my [private part] change shape': The hair loss drug controversy
I'm sorry friend, I don't know what to tell you.

I find it extremely hard to believe.
Just to explain a bit of restaurant procedure:

It sounds like you seated yourself at a section that wasn't open. "Sections" are often not obvious to customer, but they're really important to the wait staff. You don't grab tables outside your section; it can be seen as attempting to grab more tips. (A Red Lobster probably has tip pooling, but still, working outside your section is a no-no.) Eventually they got somebody to open your section.

Threatening to call security is also a no-no. He should have called the manager over. But if the host desk was unoccupied for more than a couple of minutes, it sounds like the manager was off fighting some kind of fire.

With the host desk unoccupied, the restaurant would prefer that you ask a passing waiter to find the host.

So I'm not surprised that wait staff were ignoring you. A better waiter would have figured out what was going on and signaled the host to come talk to you, and move you into an open section. But if you're waiting tables at Red Lobster, you're not being hired for your initiative.

Anyway... I hope that helps explain what happened. The upshot: don't seat yourself, but it sounds like they were being mismanaged anyway.
Nah.

You call that a workaround but it’s basically the best possible situation security-wise. If this didn’t work securely then it wouldn’t be possible to implement disk defragmenter or even explorer. It’s so core to Windows NT’s security model that I wouldn’t call it a workaround.

You do similar things even with more modern stacks - assign a permission to an application and grant permissions to the application to the user.

The only real concern is that Windows NT permissions are not as granular as they could be.

Why not? The idea that the only valid way to publish a scientific result is in a (so-called) peer-reviewed journal is a relic from 200 years ago when the scientific community was small enough to fit within the monkeysphere [1]. It is being clung to only because it is profitable for a small group of powerful academics and publishing houses, not because it has any actual merit in terms of the advancement of science. In fact, it's probably in no small measure responsible for contemporary replication crises. I'm as staunch an advocate of the scientific method as you will hope to find (I'm writing a book about it!) but IMHO traditional peer review is long past its sell-by date.

The Movie Her predates all of this by years, and Sam Altman even tweeted "her"! The OpenAI team are clearly well aware of Scarlett's voice (its inconceivable the majority of the team at OpenAI haven't at least seen part of the film that almost defined their industry). The movie predates all of this by years - of course they knew.

When auditioning actors "months before" they can still look for an actor who guess what? Sounds like SJ, even "before the first time SJ was contacted".

As the actor - I'd likely also be looking to emulate SJ in Her - its clearly what the client was looking for.
"principled", in this context, meaning "they have rules that they have abided by", rather than "a set of rules that are morally just or otherwise generally appreciable for their merits".

Not saying SW wasn't benefiting from the arrangement, or that they weren't playing coy for selfish reasons. Just saying that they had rules and stuck to them, rather than acquiescing to consumer forces as OP suggested.
... and that the Washington Post just comprehensively refuted, finding the voice actor and reviewing contemporaneous documentation showing that they were hired months before Johansson was ever contacted.

“[John von Neumann] probably never intended to have this program published and subjected to such scrutiny; although his manuscript is carefully documented, he probably wanted only to circulate it among a few interested colleagues. So when we find a few errors and a few instances of clumsy coding, we should realize that it was an early effort that was not supposed to represent a polished product.”

No, I think Doctorow is explicitly arguing the opposite? He is saying that it wasn't Thai Union that killed the chain, but the previous (PE) owners. Even the title says that.
No, they didn't. The opposite thing happened. They hired and recorded this voice actor months before they reached out to Johanssen. People are scrambling to hold bits of this original story together, but it's dead, Jim.
They made the choice to use that voice after she decided otherwise they would never have approached Scarlet. When the recording session occurred is irrelevant. They wanted her voice, couldn’t get it, and then chose to use something similar.
No, I meant Tron: Legacy. The second Tron film. I didn’t know they were doing a third one.

If I recall correctly, the wording is "people and structures". If you want to fly close-by (10m or so) buildings and people, you can file for a special class/permit which requires an in-person exam. I might do that at some point, but haven't yet. Otherwise it's about what you said, couple hundred meters.

A 5" fpv quadcopter is already terribly dangerous, it happily pulls up to 50A, goes above 100km/h easily, and the rotors shred through flesh like butter, so it makes sense to at least regulate it somewhat. When I started, I had drones fall out of the sky because my battery connection was not firm enough and while I have by now quite some confidence in my soldering and building abilities, that's always something that can happen, so I naturally stay away from roads, regardless the rules.

For flying 5" drones, I usually take a trip to the country side where there's plenty of space. It's already stressful enough, and that way you can enjoy your flights much more without endangering people. Nobody ever asked for my permit, though, and nobody ever measured my signal strength and asked whether I have the required HAM license (which is far more involved getting). I don't fly in densely populated areas, at least not with my bigger drones. Sub-250g drones are barely regulated, and while they can hurt as well, the risk of serious injury is quite low - so you can try tinywhoops (which come even under 50g)
