I already won't use Amazon for things I put in my body -- the product commingling and counterfeit situations make them a non-starter for me on this. Precision and control are just not in their company DNA, so I don't want their shipped products mucking with my DNA. :)

Apple would be far higher on my list of consideration than this. I'd even say Google, for the 2 or 3 years that the product lasted.

While I do find healthcare somewhat plodding and archaic, these anecdotes remind me that it's not always a bad thing.
> a shebang only accepts one argument.

I don’t think that’s right. I regularly use `#!/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript` as a shebang on macOS and it works as expected. It’s also good practice to use `/bin/zsh --no-rcs` so the script does not load `~/.zshenv`.

So what do you do with all the valuable time that you save by not pursuing this apparently not-so-useful activity anymore?
That completely refutes the case. There is no imitation. There was no intent to bypass Scarlett saying “no”. It doesn’t even sound that much like her.
Went from software dev to infosec consulting here. Basically, one of the people I worked with at the prior job moved first, then asked, "if I knew anyone who might be interested." After not cluing in immediately, she asked again. "Oh... um, yeah! Let's chat."

I still mess with code all the time, but mostly scratching my own itch, either for home or work.
Sound is usually found as a transitive verb "sound the alarm" or immediately followed by an adjective or adjective phrase "it sounds like it's coming from the attic".

It's almost never seen naked except when talking about "how something sounds" which follows from the latter usage above.

We're beyond grammar and in the weeds of idiomatic usage, but hopefully it's clear to English speakers that "it sounds" full stop is so eyebrow-raising that it should normally be avoided.

Unless you're being clever or meta, as the title here is, so it gets a pass in my opinion.

If it were written idiomatically, though, it'd be "images that make sounds".
I kind of wonder whether certain cultural artifacts might be genetically inspired. My son, when he was young, without any prompting wanted to be an architect (like his great-grandfather whom he had never met, nor even heard anything about before this) and was obsessed with guitars (like me, although at that point, my own guitar had been in the basement for years and he had never seen me play it). This is not to say that these particular behaviors are explicitly encoded in genetics (both guitars and architecture as a discipline are much younger than evolutionary time), but rather that some intrinsic predisposition towards them exists (so, perhaps had we lived in fifteenth-century Persia, we would be oud-obsessed, to choose one posseible alternate reality).

>I found that medication (Methylphendiate 20mg) have definitely helped me focus, but the direction of what I'm focusing doesn't always yield productive results (hyperfocusing on reddit for example). I've also started worring that what I've really done is created a dependence, where eventually ill have to up the dose as what I'm currently on will make me feel like I did pre meds, and stopping will make me feel worse.

This is my exact problem too. I can concentrate/focus much stronger (better?), but work is too boring and annoying so my projects are much more interesting.

I am not saying anything that you are attempting to dispute here... Your logic is sound and you can get rich doing it. But you won't get wealthy. And getting wealthy does carry higher level of risk, I would think that is common sense.

To me diversification goes against all logic because the rule #1 of investing should be that you as a investor KNOW what you are investing in. You can't tell me anyone investing in say S&P 500 has done extensive research on each every of the 500 companies. All they are hoping for is "hey, these are 500 biggest companies in the World, imma just put my chips here and hope for the best - history tells me that is probably safe bet."

On the other hand, you can do full-on research into a single or handful of companies and then put your chips there. You can't tell me that putting money in Magnificent-7 say 5 years ago was any riskier than putting money into S&P 500... and yet you could have gotten REALLY wealthy with the former and quite rich with the latter...

There are various reasons why you might want synthetic data. Anonymisation is one of them - but the issue is around which statistical relationships are preserved in the anonymizing process, while ensuring that fusion with other data sources is not going to unmask the real data hidden beneath.

It's not "reportedly".
Ford gave explicit instructions to imitate a copyrighted performance. Because that specific recording as owned by a record studio.

If you can describe a woman's voice and mannerisms and the result sounds similar to a copyrighted performance, that is natural circumstance.

If you want an example of purposefully imitating something with a copyright, look at GNU. Anyone who looked at the UNIX code was realistically prevented from writing their own kernel with similar functions. But if a handful of folks describe what the kernel ended up doing and some <random> guy in his own head comes up with some C code and assembly to do end up with the same high level functions, well thats just fine, even if you include the original name.

The details matter. There is absolutely enough vocal difference, it doesn't take an audiologist to hear the two voices do sound different but very close. It would not be hard for the producers to describe "a" voice and that description would overlap heavily with ScarJo, and wow the marketing team reached out to see if she would attempt to fill the existing requirements. When she said no, they found a suitable alternative. If the intent was to have ScarJo do the voice and she said no and they did it anyways, thats illegal.
A truly convenient piece for a company so transparent and demonstrably trustworthy.

> If it were foundational it would be peer reviewed in a journal article, not posted on a blog.

What I think you are doing here is to DEFINE "foundational work" as something that gets published in a journal.

I don't mind if you use that definition, but if you do then the fact that all foundational work is published in journals is not insightful or informative, it is merely the definition.

If, on the other hand, you intended for the statement to say something meaningful about how important scientific and mathematical work is communicated, then you need a different definition of "foundational". And you would have to look to that definition to decide whether this work was foundational, because if it was then it disproves your hypothesis: it would be a counter example that illustrates that some foundational work is shared in places other than journals.

It being the “natural speaking voice” of the voice actor is immaterial to what the intent or effect was when it was publicly used, which is what is legally relevant. Yes, that they didn’t record the intent to imitate at the time of the selection is absence of evidence of intent at that time, which is, viewed extremely generously, very weak evidence of absence of intent at that time, but…that’s it.

You seem to be looking at this as if right of publicity were like copyright, where what is essentially protected is, well, the act of copying.

Right of publicity is a separate area of law, but it is more like trademark than copyright. The mechanism by which a resemblance which is commercially leveraged is attained is not relevant.
> > apparently in C++ a structure cannot really have zero length

> Yes it can: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/attributes/no_uni...

A structure with no members can be made to have zero length as a member of something else but not as part of its own definition. I.e., the `[[no_unique_address]]` attribute is a property of the member, not of the struct on its own. It's somewhat annoying that you can't flag an empty struct as being really empty, and have no-unique-address-ness applied everywhere it's used automatically; you have to flag every use with the attribute manually.
It's probably the CEO just clumsily stumbled into the comparison.

He was probably not personally aware she was contacted, and it just so happened that his dumb movie reference hit a nerve.

The alternative is that he knew they were ripping off Scarlett Johansson and then publicly compared them. Which seems too stupid to be true.

If you have a chance and are interested in the subject, I highly recommend the Musée Cinéma & Miniature in Lyon, France: <https://www.museeminiatureetcinema.fr/>.

A lot of the promotional material highlights the sets, costumes and props from films on display, and they are certainly interesting, but far more interesting to me are the two floors of cinematic miniatures--diorama after diorama of physically-built miniature sets used as "virtual backgrounds" before they were mostly generated using CGI art (which I do appreciate). They are remarkable and remarkably interesting as pieces of art as well as cinema history. This story reminded me of this--sometimes the effect you want needs a tactile realism that is hard to replicate digitally, and is rarely as neat and toy-like.
You should not be starting it when you want to search. You should open it when you log in, and leave it in the tray. It will do a full index on launch then subscribe to filesystem notifications to keep itself up to date for as long as it’s open.

Do that and it’s alarmingly fast and responsive except for the minute or two right after launch.

First time I hear about it, but reading about it, it seems that specific case actually changed the typical terms for actors to prevent similar issues?

> Rather than write George out of the film, Zemeckis used previously filmed footage of Glover from the first film as well as new footage of actor Jeffrey Weissman, who wore prosthetics including a false chin, nose, and cheekbones to resemble Glover. [...]

> Unhappy with this, Glover filed a lawsuit against the producers of the film on the grounds that they neither owned his likeness nor had permission to use it. As a result of the suit, there are now clauses in the Screen Actors Guild collective bargaining agreements stating that producers and actors are not allowed to use such methods to reproduce the likeness of other actors.[

> Glover's legal action, while resolved outside of the courts, has been considered as a key case in personality rights for actors with increasing use of improved special effects and digital techniques, in which actors may have agreed to appear in one part of a production but have their likenesses be used in another without their agreement.

Is it illegal to hire a voice actor that sounds like Darth Vader? No. Is it illegal to hire a voice actor that sounds like Her? No. Would it be appealing to have SJ voice act for them? Sure.

"Looking bad" is not illegal. If OpenAI didn't do anything illegal, saying it shouldn't do something because it might "look bad" is unfounded. In general, listening to what people say and avoiding things that might "look bad" to someone is a bad life strategy.
I like the idea! A few things I noted: 1) despite the paged UI, the API call /rest/v1/arxiv_papers?select=*&order=published.desc is downloading all 708 articles. You will find the UI more snappy if you do server-side paging. b) most of the javascript is cached, but not all of it, e.g., page-script.js
The problem with nerd sniping is that it is instant gratification in a way. Always focusing on tech and math problems because you like solving them can lead to neglecting other areas. But maybe learning more about those other areas could lead to better success in life. At least this is my experience. It solved itself in my case. My interest just shifted to be more end-product focused gradually.

Sure. whatever I've hired tons of them and I would not describe them as 'amazing.'

I would describe them as perfect for a modern world where the most efficient thing is to sell a narrative, but not execute on it or be responsible for the outcomes.

I really think they are pretty much the opposite of amazing, and mostly just fool people who don't know any better.

I think they're talking about linearity as transformations with a linearity score close to 1. They defined that linearity score a little higher up. Such that composing many almost linear transformations will create a total transformation that is very nonlinear.
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.

eta: all the folks saying the voice actor doesn't sound exactly like ScarJo and was hired before the negotiations with ScarJo are neglecting to remember: AI is really good at making voice imitations from snippets. So Sky's voice is almost certainly not unprocessed voice acting. That's how the There I Ruined It guy does his covers.

Tom Waits did some advertising work when he narrated a dog food commercial [1], but I think his artistic integrity is still intact considering all he did was a voiceover (no singing). In true Tom Waits fashion, when he was asked about why he did it, his response was "I was down on my luck and I like dogs". One of the things I love about Tom Waits is that his interviews are just as entertaining as his songs.

This happens with homeschooled kids too. My daughters didn't get to choose the other kids they took ice skating or salsa classes with. My son didn't get to pick the kids on his soccer team or Cub Scouts group. You're making a false dichotomy, as if homeschooled kids inhabit a parallel universe with no contact with kids who go to school. That just isn't the case.
I don't want/need any of that

It's already hard enough to get consistent behavior with a fixed model

If we need to save money we will switch to a cheaper model and adapt our prompts for that

If we are going more for quality we'll use and more expensive model and adapt our prompts for that

I fail to see any use case where I would want a third party choosing which model we are using at run time...

We are adding a new model this week and I've spent dozens of hours personally evaluating output and making tweaks to make it feasible

Making it sound like models are interchangeable is harmful

Fair enough, but I still would be surprised to see the long scale used in scientific communications written in English.

Re SI Prefixes: you _could_ make the argument that they are essential another short scale since they are named every 3 orders of magnitude.
Regulations aren't always just about the immediate harm. Some individual violations are harmless or relatively trivial by themselves but absolutely devastating at any sort of scale.
I’ve thought about differing levels of innate behaviors in different species as being somewhat akin to different sorts of programming languages. So dogs and cats are more akin to, say, Pascal¹ which provides a high level of functionality at the language level, but are limited in capability² while humans are more like C where there’s less functionality out of the box, but the ability to accomplish unique tasks is less bounded.

1. This is a theory I came up with as a high school student in the 80s so my choices of programming languages reflect that.

> Her statement says otherwise

In what way?

That in no way contradicts the fact that the Sky voice was created first, although it does seem to suggest a misunderstanding by Johansson that this was to be an exclusive deal to be "the" voice, leading to the incorrect conclusion that the Sky voice was created after she declined, and must therefore be an impersonation (despite sounding nothing like her/Her, as she herself must know better than anyone). Stretch after stretch after stretch. (Being kind.)

In fact the recordings used for training were made in June/July 2023, which is before Johansson was contact as a possible "also-ran": https://openai.com/index/how-the-voices-for-chatgpt-were-cho...
I'm glad he got paid. It was done in bad faith (much like the ScarJo case). He does allow for covers — Rod Stewart's Downtown Train cover paid for his swimming pool.
By "the size" I meant to say "the size of the infrastructure", meaning that AWS has to manage orders of magnitude more instances than Hetzner. This might as well contribute to "things" being slower.
Sky does not really sound like SJ though if you listen side by side. According to OAI's timeline, they intended to have Sky in addition to SJ. OAIs voice models including Sky predate the GPT4o voice assistant. Also:

"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 did not seem like an issue before and the Sky voice was public many months before GPT4o. I don't believe SJ can claim to own all young, attractive woman voices whether they are used as a voice assistant or not. It seems like the issue is being blown out of proportion. It does make a good story. The public perception of AI right now is generally negative and people are looking for reasons to disparage AI companies. Maybe there are good reasons sometimes, but this one is not it.
That's a strange characterization of it. They weren't tracking for MS, their branded mobile browser (distinct from their site) was found to have an exclusion in its built-in content blocker for Microsoft-run tracking scripts in ads.

Or put another way, if their browser had no content blocker (like the stock browsers of any mobile OS), their browser would be behaving like all the others. The scrutiny came from the conspicuous exclusion, given their arrangement with Bing (much like the controversy of Adblock Plus many years ago).

> I think for the general public it sounds like what Nvidia has is unique (like in gaming)

Gaming is where Nvidia is least unique; they run standards-compliant software by supporting well-documented APIs in-hardware (eg. DX12/Vulkan). AMD does the same thing, and even Intel is able to scale up a simple dGPU setup.

The hard part is software. Nvidia "won" because they spent 10 years developing CUDA when everyone else was smothering their OpenCL implementations in the crib. Now it doesn't matter what Nvidia ships, as long as it's fast and supports CUDA. The Blackwell/Grace systems seem like a good example of this.

TPUs have a slim shot at disrupting things; NPUs are pretty much dead-on-arrival. TPUs are hopeful because they genuinely represent a yak-shaving project that can ignore CUDA semantics to simply infer or train faster. It will be hard to make TPUs as efficient as TSMC-manufactured Nvidia chips, but there's room for disruption given how expensive a single GH200 is.

NPUs... I hate to be a pessimist, but they don't have a very bright feature. In the best of scenarios, an NPU is redundant silicon idling or in-usage to alleviate pressure from the more-powerful main GPU and CPU. Seems great on paper; until you start scaling to LLM/Stable Diffusion size. Now you're bottlenecked by such a low-power component, and have to switch to the GPU which was more powerful all-along. In the worst of cases, the NPU is an expensive waste of space on your SOC. Unlike TPU pods, I think there is no hope for NPUs to compete directly with CUDA. If anything it increases the demand for high-performance training compute, which Nvidia monopolizes.
