Weirdly boomer is paranoid piece that seems very much constructed to articulate a particular point of view.

One of the examples given is to use a FLIR detector attached to a smartphone to identify unusual heat signatures. The examples given are a USB charger and a plugged-in air freshener, and the “proof” that they are hidden cameras is that they are emitting a lot of heat.

This seems misleading as usb chargers often emit a lot of heat, and the plugged in air fresheners that I have seen have a wick and heat element.

Very strange piece of “journalism”.
I think it’s still common informal usage to prosecute a (moral) case. Maybe more common in the UK where you can bring a literal private prosecution.

Although I think what lawyers say these days is that it’s not colorable.

Remember that it was Sam Altman who proposed to change the YC questionnaire to screen applicants by incidents where they have successfully broken rules. YC even boasts about that.
Depending on the time frame, FreePascal/Lazarus might have simply been not available (or unknown) to the team.

I remember how in ~1997 at a science camp we used Turbo Pascal under DOS for most programming labs, and whenever pascal code was run on Linux machines we used p2c translator and compiled the resulting C code.

Take a Raspberry Pi Zero and connect it to these:

I can't remember where I'm getting this figure from, but I think it accommodates for about 3 days of runtime (obviously dependant on what you're doing with your Pi!).
Does the router approach make sense with multi-tasking LLMs? One could execute multiple different tasks with a single prompt (chat response, NER, translation etc.) and with the latest models even do images or video alongside text. Doesn't a router get in the way, unnecessarily increasing latency?
Isn't it TTS + style transfer? Or is it e2e from text to waveform?

Because of "Her" I imagine and all the memes about GPT-4o. The "Her" and GPT-4o memes I always thought of them as "they both have a real-time charming female AI assistant" and not like they have the same voice.
What you're arguing fails to pass the obviousness test ; if I were running the company it would be blankly obvious that the optics would be a problem, so I would start to collect a LOT of paperwork documenting that the casting selection was done without a hint of bias towards a celebrity's impression. Where is that paperwork? The obviousness puts the burden on them to show it.

Otherwise your argument lets off not just this scandal but an entire conceptual category of clever sleazy moves that are done "after the fact". It's not the the Kafka trap you're making it out to be.

Did I claim coincidence? The openAI sky voice has been available among many other voices since last September and I shared evidence that there are other actors who could claim the voice is more similar to their voice. Yet you think the voice actor from the film her has a right to prevent the use of the sky voice now? On what basis? I doubt most people who watch the film her even know who did the voice acting. And per the evidence I shared above the claim about it being that same voice vs another popular actor is weak.
> Well as the article states, there’s legal precedent protecting actors from having their voices “impersonated” by other actors.

The article doesn't state that. It says that about singers. Very different.
Precisely this. It feels like scrolling WMs and tiling WMs are entirely different paradigms. I see no way to transfer my workflow with tiling to a scrolling WM.
Or to rephrase it, the laws don't apply to the rich. They just have to pay a little bit more "tax" (which probably still works out to be less than typical small business has to pay % wise anyway) to be allowed to break them.
I think Morgan Freeman is a useful comparison to make. Imitations of his voice have been used in a lot of political campaign videos (not sure how many of them got permission). An imitation of his voice was also used in a UK "morethan" advert where they did seek permission and pay him. Another highly popular AI voice would be David Attenborough, used in any number of videos.

Show HN: I built a widget to integrate document-based chatbots into your website
Hey HN,

I’m excited to share a project I've been working on: the DocsChat Widget.

It's a tool that allows you to integrate a chatbot trained on your documents directly into any website. Here’s what it can do:

Document Support: The widget supports PDFs, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files.
OCR Capabilities: It can detect and process text from images, thanks to built-in OCR technology.

Powered by GPT-40: Uses the latest OpenAI model for embedding and searching through documents.

Framework-Agnostic: Built with Vue.js for easy integration into any web framework.

Real-Time Querying: Users can interact with the chatbot to get real-time answers from your knowledge base.

This widget aims to simplify the setup and troubleshooting process for product user manuals, support documents, and any other document-driven knowledge bases.

I’ve also included an example use case where it helps users find setup instructions and troubleshooting steps quickly.

Thanks for taking a look!
The fun thing is that a bunch of the oldest bindings are essentially a random sampling of keybinds used by different people when original TECO EMACS was coalescing into existence.

But a common pattern was that the systems majorly used with Emacs as the keybindings evolved all had mirrored bucky bits which means instead of using left pinky finger for Control key when hitting C-x C-f many would use right thumb for Control and left hand for X and F.
> We only have the word Motor

I disagree, depending on the context you also use "Maschine" and "Triebwerk" in instances where english would use engine.

For example you would not translate "jet engine" to "Düsenmotor" but instead "Düsentriebwerk" and "steam engine" is translated to "Dampfmaschine"
I think kidnapping for ransom is not a only a terrorism activity. Yes there are many cases of that but the majority will be related more with organized crime which usually enrich in weak and unstable government. There is correlation between terrorists activity and unstable countries but that is not always cause and effect relation. I.e you will find high statistics of kidnapping for ransom in Latin amaerica and even Mexico due to organized crime networks.

There are variety of ways kidnapping for ransom works (including cyper attacks here but also something like human trafficking activities...etc [1])

So there are many actions taken to address those. They are not just confined into the islamists category.

> DJI remotes work with Caddx Vista as well

Well, you're technically correct (the best kind). They work with first gen VTXes when they're upgraded to the V01.01 firmware. The catch is that if you upgrade your V1/V2 Goggles will no longer work with those VTXes.. And now there are Goggles 3 that aren't even compatible with O3 VTX yet, and it's 50/50 on whether or not they'll work with first gen - it's all a pretty big mess compatibility wise :)
I can understand switching from Wifi to (5G) Cellular in a factory setting as I heard on a podcast that 5G has features built into it for verious different circumstances.

I can't fathom switching from Ethernet though, as that has different operating characteristics than wireless networks. I would assume they would no longer want to put a network cable to every machine but for those requiring high bandwidth I would certainly keep wired networking.

Switching VMs for Cloud offerings is something different, maybe it makes sense for them to use stuff like Function as a Service from various providers rather than implement it yourself on VMs that the cloud provider hosts anyway. You're still just paying to use other people's computers so if you can optimise what you use it may make a difference.

The biggest good thing in the article though is the mention of a decent use of Machine Learning in order to reduce the amount of pesticides and herbicides released into the environment. Not really as glamorous or sexy as generating art but something that actually makes a real difference.
It's disappointing that a "meeh" Reddit post is total sum of communication from Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia and others.
> They contacted Johansson after the Sky voice was created, they didn’t create it because she declined.

Her statement says otherwise:

"Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system. He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and Al. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people.

Legally they're vehicles sometimes, and sometimes technically supposed to not drive on sidewalks. Perhaps that's Segway equivalent to fair use scientific researches on crawled web data.
That's not true at all. You can fly in many places in the EU without any permit, esp. for sub-250g drones. You can't fly over groups of people (isolated people is ok), over towns and near airports and airfields. (And yes, it can be annoying if you live in a big city center.)

For FPV flying it's a little bit different. In theory, it requires to have a "spotter" who will watch the drone when you fly, and the same other rules apply. But if you're flying in your backyard, close to the ground, or indoors, nobody will notice or care.
My answer to this would be: This is totally personal, but for me Ruby is just a language that allows concisely and readable way express myself to get stuff done. Python just does not read so good and forces to do more boiler-plate. Probably skill-issue, but I knew Python before Ruby, so :shrug: To give out any examples, I would need to have some Python code on me, but I don't :D

This is what alienates me when I try to use VSCode every year or two. It has a wonderful extension ecosystem and seems generally quite competent, but there’s no culture of just putting stuff in a text buffer like every other thing. Extensions want their own special windows with different key bindings, the terminal is its own thing, there’s custom UI everywhere. Emacs is just how I think for the most part - here is some text I can freely navigate around and mess with. Sometimes new text is inserted or appended by me or a command, but I’m never having to switch modes in my head.
How do you define a buffer overflow?
That's a lot of effort for something god knows how many people change as pretty much the first thing after they first login to a new system.
Well, that's quite remarkable given it was written in 1901. Twain using the simple but controversial technique of regarding colonized people as real humans with their own interests, politics, and capacity for reason to predict how badly colonialism would turn out. But also some details:

> And later would Germany say to her soldiers: 'March through America and slay, giving no quarter; make the German face there, as has been our Hun-face here, a terror for a thousand years; march through the Great Republic and slay, slay, slay, carving a road for our offended religion through its heart and bowels?' Would Germany do like this to America, to England, to France, to Russia? Or only to China the helpless--imitating the elephant's assault upon the field-mice?

They certainly did have a go at that, twice.

- correctly regarding the Boxer rebellion as an unnecessary fiasco caused by exploitation

- pointlessness and inhumanity of Boer war

- predicting American liberation of Cuba would turn to exploitation, and then revolution

- arguing that America should have liberated the Philippines rather than simply taken over the Spanish colony .. which they eventually did, later, from the Japanese

- references to a MacArthur in the Philippines, which made me check, and of course they're father and son: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/macarth...

- pointing out that the colonized will see the need to technologically advance to the point that they can fight, anticipating the Washington Naval Conference and the meteoric rise of Japan (who immediately start their role as colonizing power, rather than colonized, by murdering their way through parts of China)

BTW, if anyone is having trouble reading this article, assume that it is all being said in a tone of extremely heavy sarcasm by Twain.

I’d avoid the DJI controller if you want to truly get into FPV. Eventually you’ll want to fly non-DJI quads (eg the o3 air units are too heavy for whoops, so you’ll be analog or HDZero) so stick with ELRS.

The arguably best all rounder controller at a decent price point is the radiomaster boxer at about $99. Their pocket model is only $55 and super compact, but isn’t really full sized.
>However it's very obviously not a blog since a blog encompasses a much larger concept. You can blog about your hobbies, interests, specific topics, related or otherwise.

Hm? And you can also blog the same content as you put on /now. Many people do. A public journal of whatever is going on in author's life is pretty much the OG idea of a weblog.

it's not just in debug modes. It should be the standard in release mode as well (IMO the distinction shouldn't exist for most projects anyway). ASan and UBSan are explicitly not designed for that.
If you want to go the DIY way, it can be a fun experience to build your drone (from a kit).

If you want a commercial off-the-shelf drone, nothing is remotely close to DJI, really.
at least the !bangs still work, they probably are implemented at their load balancers
Electric motors have moving parts and at least where I am nobody would call one an electric engine.

Automobiles generally have engines, but motor isn't uncommon for (internal combustion) engines there either. Motor car is something I remember my grandfather saying although I guess that's not really used anymore, but motorbike certainly is. So is motorsports. "Blown motor" is a pretty common phrase for an IC engine that has stopped working due to damage.

Engine has some exclusive cases where motor does not substitute. Jet engine and steam engine come to mind.
+1 on the boxer. Great for everything at a pretty damn good price point.

surely not. How do you differentiate these two functions?

Epic is trying to make it trivial to set up an App Store by pre populating apps which changes the incentives around burning one’s reputation. So sure looking at signatures is useful for someone who pays attention, not so much in the general case.

Or perhaps they do hand out your app at a discount, and then never pay you. Or, do several things all at the same time.

I don’t see anybody mentioning Brave Search. I’m getting 500. Anybody else?
I’ve noticed a significant change in Uber Eats and Deliveroo recently. Uber Eats has become almost impossible to use to resolve problems - and they seem to have doubled down on this. I recently ordered food where the driver called me several times because he was lost, and then ended up marking the food as delivered even though his location was completely wrong. Uber Eats refused point blank to refund me. I got the impression that the email replies were automatically generated and the issue had not been reviewed by a human. I couldn’t get through by phone because I didn’t have an active order and you can only get phone support for active orders. I ended up raising a chargeback with my bank.

Conversely, in my recent experience Deliveroo has become much better at resolving problems. I’ve had a couple of issues recently (food delivered cold, a substitute item in a grocery order I’d specified no substitutions) and both were sorted out with a single message resulting in a full refund.

I now use Deliveroo over Uber Eats and wonder whether they are making a conscious decision to get customers to prefer them by offering better customer service.

And, simultaneously, I wonder whether that customer service will be pulled back again once they’ve increased whatever metric they are optimising against. I do also wonder whether you get better customer service from these platforms if you meet certain characteristics - not a super regular user, but regular enough, with a moving average spend over or under a particular level, or indications from buying patterns that you are likely (or unlikely) to become a loyal or high spending customer.
