To be fair, the responsibility for the replication crises is much trickier. It’s based on human motivations and poor science:

1. Outright fraud

2. Lack of independent verification of results before building up a body of work resulting in a bunch of garbage. Contributes to making #1 “easy”.

3. Financial pressures to publish or perish contributing to 1 & 2. If peer review didn’t exist you’d still something similar about producing “recognized” results. This is also probably why we haven’t done any major breakthroughs in particle physics which now has a much longer term thinking phase to come up with anything.

The biggest problem with peer review is actually the establishment of an orthodoxy which discourages itself being upended by controlling the career success of anyone who dare challenge it - you have to support the orthodoxy to get career success and you fail to get recognition if your idea challenges the peer reviewers ideas and careers. That being said, such pressures existed before, but at least you could try to build your own following and it was competing orthodoxies instead of a single one winning out.
A Take on How AI Impacts Platform Engineering
You'd be in the minority I think. Judging by the number of phone screen repair shops and what not I see, phone repair is one of the things that people really want. And that's just screen repairs, and not the numerous other things people generally talk about getting fixed.

On the flip side, you are the first person I know of talking about about repairing your blender, and I've never seen a blender repair shop. Larger home appliances, sure, but blenders?

I'm not saying you are wrong to prioritize these things. Just pointing out that you are an outlier.
Oof. I hope the tablet is better than the website. I think I need to switch to a device with a dedicated GPU to see it right. My laptop is struggling, and it's running a 12th gen i5. They seem to be using a video provider that can't keep up either.

Still, the tablet looks exciting, especially since it's based on Android. I'm curious as to how they overcame the refresh rate issue that plagues so many similar displays.

This text mentions some valid and well-known points about SQL, but it lost me when it proceeded to compare SQL to GraphQL. The latter as an API spec/framework doesn't magically solve any fundamental problems, and it is not a data model by itself. Also the suggestion that an application may be reduced to a database with some kind of auto generated API - this is only true for simple cases.
This is the hilarious part about the comments. Nobody knows who GMUNK is and it shows. Dudes been knocking it out of the park for decades.

I feel that for music. During my teenage years I used to listen to the same songs over and over on my walkman. I still remember 99% lyrics to the whole albums. The music used to have such a strong connection.

Nowadays there are 1000+ songs in my playlist I can't even recollect 20% lyrics nor there is a chance in hell that I would listen to every single song on the entire album let alone every single song by tthe same artist.

It's like if I don't like the first 10 seconds, it's hide song and Spotify makes sure I never have to listen to that again. Even though some of my all time favorites are songs I hated at first but then there was no hide song button.

Sorry I digress but yeah the connections you make in childhood are really something. I just hope it's my age and not the technology responsible for this and the youth of today feel the same connection too.

My general experience with elementary ed classmates in college matches yours (but not my memories of my actual elementary teachers).

Samsung is just consistently frustrating. Their hardware for consumer electronics (not appliances) is generally pretty good in my experience, but the attitudes they take towards their customers via this planned obsolescence and software/dark pattern "shove it down your throat and you better like it" hostile crap.

I've fundamentally had to change how I work with my phone because of garbage like "just save all the clipboard history, too bad if you don't want that" and "here you'd better like a dedicated button to Bixby" and now "LOOK WE HAVE AI NOW ON YOUR PHONE" as well as being one of the most egregious in the TV data thieving.
They do, though its called "docker layers"

I have seen layers that were:

base
add tools
add source code
compile
delete source code
delete extra tools
(ship - why is the docker image so large? Oh well, storage is cheap...)

And there are easy ways to resolve this such as multi stage builds ( https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-stage/ ) - but mistakes still happen from time to time when people aren't aware that the current view of the docker image contains all of the previous layers too.
> it sounds like she had the opportunity to write herself a nice check, and she turned it down.

If I were SJ, I'd turn it down too. Shes in no need of money, and selling her voice to OpenAI would make most of creators and every single voice actor hate her (not to mention the Twitter mob).

In majority of creative circles, the current social norm is to hate AI, so touching AI in any way is too risky for reputation.
My United Tariff is up to $400. That is, I add $400 to whatever their price is when I'm shopping for tickets. That's how much more I'm willing to pay anyone else to avoid flying United.
This still happens at some firms every so often with source code and private signing key sets.

The issue is usually management making an arbitrary call on who is part of the development pipeline. Thus, for a time some contractors and partners may get a backup of the build tree or temporary repository access (if you catch the "new" users.)

It is harder than one would think to keep things confidential...

Cleaning up after one of these leaks is another set of problems, but usually at that point it is better to jump ship.

Best of luck, =)
This 1000%. It’s even more true and viable in any industry saturated with competition that is married to the opposite standards. Yet here I am, simply baffled that someone else tried to argue that not having declared bankruptcy before could be a bad thing.
It’s human nature: people see others achieve what they cannot, and try to pull them down. You see this wrt Musk on this site a lot, too.
I always liked the cases where people have broken open ROMs only to find that the compilation process stuffed a bunch of directory and filenames in the silicon.

Southwest Airlines (SW) has still not made an investment in their scheduling and operations software and infrastructure. They will have more operational failures in the future if say a huge store system forces to many flights to be rescheduled. For something so critical to business continuity I find it astounding how little SW has done in that regard. SW also has lobbied alot to derail high speed rail in Texas. Although I am sure all airlines have done that to some degree.
> What facts disprove OpenAI making a voice that sounds like SJ

The objective parts of this are disproved in several ways by the very article under which we're commenting. The subjective parts are... subjective, but arguably demonstrated as false in the very thread, through examples of SJ vs. Sky to listen side by side.

> such that the movie Her is referenced by Altman

You're creating a causal connection without a proof of one. We don't know why Altman referenced "Her", but I feel it's more likely because the product works in a way eerily similar to the movie's AI, not that because it sounds like it.

> and why is that actress upset?

Who knows? Celebrities sue individuals and companies all the time. Sometimes for a reason, sometimes to just generate drama (and capitalize on it).
Kagi has its own issues. At least with DDG you could search without logging in and your searches weren't directly tied to your name/address/credit card. Ads are best handled with ad blockers anyway.

This rando's comments (https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1bmubkd/thoughts_a...) on the filter bubble problem seems like a reasonable concern too. It's best for a search engine to know nothing about you and just provide the best results for what you asked, not what it thinks you want to hear.
Can you help me understand the log2(4+1) term?

I calculate 3*4*log2(4*2*log2(4+1)) ≈ 51.

I (a layperson) would have thought the calculation would be 3*4*log2(4*2*4) = 60.

Is it perhaps 3*4*log2(4*2*log2(3*3*4-1)) ≈ 64?
More like 4x, and closing in on 5x. And China has done a good job of tying many smaller nations, globally not just regionally, to themselves economically. That gives them an edge in terms of resource extraction where the US has been losing ground. It doesn't help that the US also sends many "waste" products to China like steel that could be processed and reused domestically.

And then there's just the cluster fuck that is the US defense industry. Who could make aircraft for the US in mass numbers anymore? Boeing can't even figure out if they installed a few bolts, NG can't do basic maintenance without wrecking a plane, LM will get you your aircraft for 5x the initial estimate and a decade late.
English is a living language so it's impossible to say definitively that you're "wrong" but I don't think anyone else is able to understand what you're trying to communicate through your use of this word.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, there are a couple of variants depending on your dialect:

- "to make something else seem better or more attractive when combining with it" - e.g. "Strawberries and cream complement each other perfectly."

- "to help make something or someone more complete or effective" - e.g. "She used photographs to complement the text of the news story.
"

The only way I can make any sense of your words is to assume you're trying to argue that two competing but interchangeable services "complement" each other when used simultaneously because that might allow a customer to mitigate risk in a similar fashion to a multi-cloud setup. That's a pretty big jump to make from what you've actually said though and would really need further explanation for anyone to understand.
They would likely argue it’s more consumer friendly since they don’t have to pass the GDS fees onto non-business travelers via higher fares.

>Secondly, if they can do 14RPM with current eink displays

They can't. Anyone claiming otherwise is misrepresenting tricks as actual refresh rate. You can convincingly fake higher refreshes by e.g. refreshing pixels independently, but any given pixel can't be refreshed at 14RPM, not even close.
This type of unbridled pessimism baffles me. If you think what had happened over the past, say, 24 months is "AI Winter", I can't imagine what your bar for AI Summer is.

It looks like third time's a charm. I for one think it's a feature to have stories competing for the reader's attention and just take their time to bubble up to the front page.

And this is quite an interesting story. Since the Sierra games' source code was never publicly released, it makes me think how radical id were to open source their games at the time, in the 90's.
I'm not going to go into details of why I know (other than I'm an FPV pilot with a drone licence in my country and I have direct connections to pilots operating in a certain conflict), but you're more wrong than right. FPV drones have become a factor and like all new technologies, had an immediate impact that has since been blunted by adapting, eg EM warfare/jamming, "cope cages" around tanks, and the fact that it's still artillery killing the most soldiers.

FPV drones carrying anything more than antipersonnel grenades are heavy, with limited range and can have EW sensors track the control link signal sources that can then be responded with artillery.

Since a lot of the adaptions have happened, FPV pilots on both sides have become more about harassing the enemy than a strategic flipping of artillery doctrine (which was shifting to more mobile batteries before FPV drones came into the picture).
I have used WinDirStat for years. It's not perfect, but it solves my use case very well.

My use case is just: my disk is full, I don't know why. This happens on one of my computers like once a year, so the fact that it's slow is fine. It usually helps me spot some folder set that is taking up a lot of space that I don't need on that PC, or something large that is duplicated.

My personal favorite example is wedding photos and videos. Turns out: those are huge, I am not going to delete them, but they don't need to be backed up on every computer I own.
Fallback Fails Spectacularly
This headline should be _some_ records show.
The funniest thing about the whole affair is that it wouldn't have blown up except for psychological priming. And some people are so blind to this effect that they've formed what's effectively an army on these OpenAI-ScarJo threads.

First, the "Her" reference from OpenAI.

Then ScarJo saying "Hey that sounds like me. Even some of my friends think so."

The voices sound kind of similar in some ways, and dissimilar in other ways. If the voice actor was trying to mimic ScarJo, she didn't do a very good job.

Is a casual reference to the title character exemplifying the same concept, a female-voiced AI, in a movie that won best screenplay at the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, an IP violation? Even if that were the case, it would be a studio matter and not Scarlett's IP.

I am curious why they reached out to ScarJo again 2 days prior, though.

Did they want to use her purely for marketing? That seems doubtful, because they'd have to get movie studio clearance to use "Her" in official marketing.

Did they have a separate model trained on her voice (I wouldn't put this past OpenAI) and were hoping they could get last-minute clearance to use it? This is actually my suspicion. That failed, so they just went with the voice models they already had clearance to use. That's not illegal. It's not even unethical. Anyone can try to train voice models on voice samples they collect. What's a problem is commercial use and representation of likeness.

I don't think a casual reference to Her was a representation that the voice is like ScarJo. It was merely referencing (very effectively) the concept of the movie's always-there [female] AI-voiced AI-chatbot.
Southwest is my favorite airline for domestic US travel. Two free checked bags by default is amazing. I also personally like the no assigned seats, and no first class.

I also had an experience with a delayed bag once, which took about an hour to come out on the carousel. It was long enough that I went to the help desk to get help and potentially report the bag as lost. I got a 300 dollar travel credit, and my bag turned up shortly after.
Ok got it.

So in your opinion, if a movie needs to have a tall, skinny red head, and then they approach someone who has those qualities and the role is turned down, then it would be illegal to get any other different tall skinny red head.

That sounds absurd to me. If you have a role, obviously the role has qualities and requirements.

And just because person 1 who happens to have those qualities turns you down, it is still valid to get a different person who fulfils your original requirements.
>It doesn't look to be simply 'government regulations'.

As evidenced by what? Your own summary makes it seem as if the only changed factor was the government regulations, so why wouldn't that be the "what changed"?

But to be more charitable: if you would like to know what - exactly - changed, I would suggest googling it? I'm honestly not trying to be snarky; what possible information could I have that you couldn't get easier by googling it? The thing you are asking about is a point of fact. The law is written text, and the changes are clearly defined. In my experience, whenever I don't understand the finer effects of a new law, I've found that there are a ton of nuances and complications and party interests that make the outcome more understandable to me. But I have never, in my life, had those nuances and complications made more clear or obviously true by way of a response from some forum commenter. It has ALWAYS been by seeking out the information, myself, from direct sources. So that's my suggestion to you, if you're earnestly asking.

But, either way, this is about all I have to say on the subject. Carry on as you will, and have a good one!
The Famicom version of Air Fortress has a ridiculously large amount of stuff unintentionally making it into the ROM. There is some uncompiled ASM code in there, some MS-DOS directory listings, some text strings from one of the EXEs used to build the game, and even more.

The Japanese cartridge was 128+128KB large.

Then they built the US NES version. Most of the 128K of graphics data was duplicate graphics, or unused. There was about 36KB of actual unique graphics. They shrunk the graphics down to 32KB by removing an image of a planet from one of the endings, and shipped it on a 128+32KB cartridge instead of a 128+128KB cartridge.

> Too bad there's no "Stephen Carter" to provide testimony for imitating ScarJo. It's amusing to think of an AI giving testimony in lawsuit, though.

Perhaps Andrey Karpathy if he has a change if heart - he's been hinted to have led the AI personality effort at OpenAI before he left.

If not him, then the discovery process ought to be good. Scarlett's lawyers asked for details on how OpenAI trained the voice, then the voice got pulled
¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

If/when the voice returns and this goes to court, we may find out if there was any fine-tuning on ScarJo's interviews/movie audio.
>Yeah, Duplication Houses usually duplicate the disk sector-by-sector

I think they went even deeper. From the vintage computing nerds I saw on YouTuber, I think the duplication houses were replicating the raw magnetic flux off the disks as-is, since game studios were implementing some crafty low level anti-piracy measures on the golden disks to ensure that if you did sector level copies at home you wouldn't be able to run the game.
Those are great points. I didn't think about it at the time. Since they were pushing me hard to sign a contract that for once literally blocked most of the companies in the cs speciality area I mostly have worked in, it gave me enough courage to say no. Barely ;-)
Any plans to extend this idea into a performance profiler?

Also nice use of Gimli - did something similar to make creating stack traces on crash cheaper to symbolicate.
IMO, that's also due to a lack of life experience. The students don't "get" it b/c it's too alien for them to relate to. They can be taught to echo the correct answers, but it's later life experience that will enrich their knowledge if it was drilled deeply enough that they remember.
Yeah, that is a fair point. I was a little too eager and dramatic with my wording. I have now removed the bit about it potentially being a sackable offence, as I feel you are probably right regarding that. Someone else in the comments made a similar point.

Your point about the legal protection against competitors is a good one too. I've tried to reword the bit that suggested it might be drastic. Let me know if you think it reads better now. Thanks.
While I'm not disagreeing that Kagi's main results from Google, the source you linked doesn't specifically say that. Just says:

> "Heck, it even enables Kagi to exist!"

> "We’re grateful to have access to Google's search technology and infrastructure for Kagi."

So I wonder what the actual results mix is. Like I said, could be mainly from Google.

Edit: Added additional quote.
I agree they don't sound the same. But, since it's a subjective test, OpenAI was pretty Twitter-foolish to push the "Her" angle after being explicitly rejected by SJ. It's just inviting controversy.

Yeah, I can hear the resemblance, but it's not the same. I actually said they should copy SJ's voice for a bigger "her" effect when I saw the demo.
Still could be worse. For example, the King's Quest 8 Master CD-ROM contained a copy of King's Quest 8.
I'm aware of plenty of airlines who are not transparent with their fees and are often advertised as much cheaper than some of my preferred airlines.

I don't trust the price I'm quoted until I get to checkout, but if I don't even SEE them in my list of flights to compare, they're not likely to be a consideration.

A lot of flight aggregators also support filtering in/out airlines and I often do this with those who are sneaky about their fees.
I Am Not An Entertainment Lawyer either, so I can’t answer with too much certainty, but I’d suspect the actors have a clause in the contract they sign allowing the character to be played by someone else post-contract. Think about how many clauses were in the last employment contract you signed.
