Feel insulted as much as you like, by suggesting to use FDroid, you clearly ignored the part of my comment where I mention the situtation regarding Play Store, NOT ANY OTHER KIND OF STORE, capice?!?

And you did it yet again, doubling down on the rooting part, missing the or.

So whatever dude.

This is today. Society tends to have what I call generational amnesia. Some food today taskes like crap, but people from 2004 think it always tasted like that. Same is/will be true for information, but at a much larger scale. People 20 years from now will look at today's AI garbage as truth, or a least as valid alternatives to what science tells them for example. Science already has a trust problem today, this will make it much worse. Same for history.

S3 is anything but simple.

Here's simple protocol:

PUT /my/key
Content-Type: plain/text

Hello, world

GET /my/key

Did you ever tried to use S3 without libraries? Did you ever checked size of AWS SDK? It's incredibly overengineered.
Same problem, encountering similar problems with Qwant (though not always)
yes, if there are pedestrians present around your anticipated trajectory you should always adjust your speed to the level that lets you stop if they for whatever reason decide to cross you trajectory

same if there are any occlusions that prevent you from making sure that there are no people that could cross your trajectory
The idea is that at some point in future, we release new and improved router configurations which do take small margins, but from the user perspective they're still paying less than using a single endpoint. We don't intend to inflate the price when users only use the single-sign-on benefits. Negotiating discounts with backend providers is another possibility, but right now we're just focused on providing value.
Why not have Home and Work directories im bookmarks? That accomplishes about the same.

None of those are essential.

What is the definition of an engineer in your eyes? In some countries there is a legal definition, so developers are not allowed to call themselves engineers unless they have an engineering degree (and not the software kind).
I certainly wouldn't complain about this lol
To be fair, KDEConnect offer way more than a file drop functionality!
Thank you, love this response.
Does natural life still count if a person is using an artificial heart?

What about if they have augmentation that allows them to read and interpret books really fast?

It’s not an easy question to answer…
that's a good point, impartiality would then be questioned
How secure is Secure Erase (EACAS)?
They assume C++-like destructors. Other languages, like Zig, do a good job with syntax like `defer`
At the company I work for, we're leveraging AI to enhance our product's capabilities in voice recognition, subtitle translation, and generation.

-Our platform uses advanced AI models to deliver highly accurate transcriptions, which is essential for creating precise subtitles.
-The AI-driven translation feature ensures that subtitles are not only accurate but also contextually appropriate, making them more natural and easier to understand.
-We've designed the user interface to be straightforward and user-friendly, allowing even those without technical expertise to easily navigate and use our tools.

Our product is set to launch soon, so stay tuned!
Maybe something low effort and ironic like you'd find on a web ring, but even less effort.
Modules nowadays mostly work, at least for VC++, clang 18 and cmake/msbuild.

My hobby C++ coding nowadays only uses modules.

For portable code, I imagine at least 5 years more, given experience with previous C++ standards.
Not gonna lie, I think its shady as fuck that a new account registers to post this one comment...
> At the level of automation we've reached in society, low-skilled labor is worth, per hour, a very small amount.

Almost every form of production uses low skilled labor and there is no technological solution yet. If it were possible, there would be a solution. The same is applicable for health care.

The truth is that these companies could easily pay enough but there is a competition to suppress labor wages, the famous race to the bottom.
But they are a darn convenient mental model if you’re just trying to do some basic async. The alternatives are harder to wrap your head around. Unless I’m missing some other cool pattern.

As for Scarlett Johansson, I remember her from the Ghost in the Shell the live action movie controversy. Not fondly.
Try loading random voice file done by real (voice)actors into Audacity, switch view to spectrogram mode, drag down to expand, and compare it to yours. Professionally done voice should look like neatly arranged salmon slices, yours will look like PCIe eye diagrams.

You can also obviously compare multiple voice files recorded with similar sounding but different individuals, they rarely look similar on spectrograms.
Props for Scarlett for turning down what was likely a big chunk of change. I can see how being the official voice of AI could turn out to be counter productive for her in the longer run
"The data set included 533 Nobel Prize-winning discoveries and 228 other major discoveries recognized in scientific literature.

... 25% of these discoveries did not employ the full scientific method. Specifically, 6% of these discoveries did not involve observation, 23% did not include experimentation, and 17% did not test a hypothesis."

“Empirical evidence thus challenges the common view of the scientific method,” Krauss writes, and “adhering to it as a guiding principle would constrain us in developing many new scientific ideas and breakthroughs.”

Yup. Maybe it's a NS, LB, or IPv6 only problem because it works eventually.
Yes, they did, it's embedded in the article you're ostensibly commenting on.
Another point here is that some users prefer to use their own API keys for the backend providers (a feature we're releasing soon). Any "discounts" would then be harder to implement. I do generally think it's much cleaner if we route based on the public facing price + performance, so our users don't need to lock into our own SSO if they'd prefer not to.
Yeah, I found it unusable on Firefox. It would not respond to clicks on any of the links in the sidebar navigation. Works without an issue on Chrome
haha. Semantics are important. Words carry meaning, we use them to convey information.
That level of insult seemed to work perfectly for Germany and Japan after WW2. Look how polite they are after occupation and giving away half of the country to Russians.
We struggle to define intelligence, much less measure it.

When I was at school a million years ago "smart" kids were ones who learned to read fast, did numbers well, and had good memory recall.

Then along came computers, which had perfect memory, did numbers really well. So "intelligent machines?"

Obviously not, so we tweaked our measure of intelligence. Perhaps to include writing well, or learning quickly. Which, um, computers now do.

But we still view the computers as "not intelligent" but I'm not sure what measure we'll use now. Something to do with art or music? Hmm, no, wait, that's no good either....

(PS schools still mostly measure numbers and memory....)
i mentioned that:

> A company being lucky for a few quarters even gets to spend money lobbying for preferential regulations that prevent further competitors from entering the market!

and i disagree that a company can get as big as google if everyone involved was wealthcapped at $10mm. There'd be no real reason to seek ever-higher profits, especially if every company was forced to abide these rules.

as an aside, isn't it weird that during the high fuel prices in the last 4 years the fuel producing companies have made record profits? I don't actually think it's weird. It is telling. I bet it's supply and demand, though.
This embedded viral DNA would presumably make all cells more susceptible to similar real viruses, since the MHC class I signalling methods couldn't be used to find them.
This could be confirmation bias.

Here's an alternative explanation that fits the same facts. Sam tweeted "her", not due to the voice, but due the existence of a conversational system that resembled the system in the movie. This primed people to hear Scarlett Johansson's voice in a generically cheerful female voice actor who was contracted over half a year ago. Scarlett's lawyers encourage her to write a public letter, helping Scarlett with the wording, in order to steer the public narrative, in order to place pressure on OpenAI to settle with her financially out of court.

Start menu in W10 is terrible. Especially since they had wonderful menu in developer builds which I was using as my daily driver. But in the end they replaced it with this monstrosity.
TBF the essay is rather strangely structured, the entire two thirds of the essay covering constructors and overloading has only ancillary relevance to the actual problem, Rust has neither and does RAII just fine after all (though it does have name mangling).

The author even acknowledges halfway through that it’s basically a strawman:

> It’s not a bad argument; after all, the entire above argument hinges on the idea of stealing from C++ entirely and copying their semantics bit-for-bit.

To me, only after that does it engage with the underlying concept in a way which is engaging and convincing. But you’ve had to trawl through 2500 words to get to that point.
Agreed, we've spoken to tons of users who reach out to us and start the conversation with "we've tried to implement this ourselves".
> As a developer, if I published my app on one platform it seems weird that it would show up on other platforms without me having opted in or agreed to anything.

It's kind of weird that there's expectation of manufacturers of software to be able to control how each copy is used or sold. If you get paid what you requested you should have zero control over the use and resale of your product. That's an essential customer and reseller freedom. That gets eroded from many sides.

It's weird what Epic requests because it goes against current anti-consumer practice.

I'm not a fan of 6 year time window because it's just kicking off the ladder.
All it takes in one example to change your comment into something that provides additional value to the thread
In my third world country, when they do something unethical they say "everything is in accordance with the law", here it's "this is on me", both are very cynical.
From the time they went private, it was apparent that this company is unethical to say the least. Given what it is building, this can be very dangerous, but I think they are more proficient in creating hype, than actually coming up with something meaningful.
S3 does handle authentication by giving you a temporary upload URL so your bucket isn't wide open. But I agree it isn't the simplest solution.
Is it just me, or has DDG been having trouble often lately? Or is it just a combination with some outage + degradation of search results lately that makes me g! regularly these days? Didn't use to need that.
The difference between regular business and organized crime is more that of a degree than that of a kind. Criminals may have less respect for law, greater risk tolerance, and go to greater extremes to acquire their customers, but at the end of the day, if they want people to pay them, they need to be known to deliver.
Not any longer, this is the modern C++ hello word.

Although your point stands, that is also valid C++.
I think it's pretty obvious that OpenAI had decided at an early stage that the new voice should resemble the voice of SJ in "Her", regardless of which voice actresses they then contacted and in which sequence.

They don’t “assume” C++-like destructor, they’re the primary author of the N3199 “defer” proposal for C.

This is a response to people contacting / criticising them asking for destructors instead of defer.
As outlined, DSPy is a create tool for this. Currently their focus is on optimizing in-context examples, but their broader vision includes optimising system prompts for intermediate LLM nodes in an agentic system as well. We uploaded an explainder video about DSPy last week! Feel free to check it out:

Not really, if you compare the STL with the java standard library, the STL is much more category-theory / traits-oriented, and has a lot of "free" functions, where the java standard library is OOP madness.
> The kids of people who can afford all you mentioned usually don't have problems with education.

Elite parents (read: the ones with discretionary money for schooling) do not see education in this way. They see it as an endless arms race to optimize every possible advantage they can for their child. From the moment the child was born, everything about their life was structured to optimize future earnings, which requires admission to an elite school, which requires exceptional learning tools.
Ecosia is also down. I think all of these use Bing under the covers? If it is actually a Bing problem, it is pretty incredible that MS has an outage this long. Makes me think twice about the stability of Azure.

1 is possible, 2 strikes me as unlikely (how bad of a week was it? I didn't get that sense). 3 doesn't make sense — this has nothing to do with trademark law. A logo is a 'mark' that identifies a brand, but a voice is not a 'mark.'

It's not about pride - it's about the reality of the fact that most academics do not have a sufficient command of English to write research papers in that language. We can lament this fact if you wish, but somehow it seems more important to me that a mathematics or chemistry researcher is good at those categories and not necessarily at writing in English. Again, you can think this is their loss - and maybe it is, but my general point is that the quality of their research isn't any worse just because it isn't done in English.

The obvious solution to this is translation - but I'm sure you can see why not every research paper is translated, the cost of doing so would have to be carried by someone so only some papers are translated, which means that by default English-speaking universities are getting a better position in rankings because all of their research counts, no matter how bad or good it is.

>>Imagine Prague universities would have top AI research published in Czech, would that actually help the scientific community?

Well it's a bit of a catch 22 - if it was top AI research, then university of Prague would pay to have it translated and then yes it would help.

I just find it silly to use a definition that you typically need 4-6 years of maths heavy formal education for front end javascript that you can learn on youtube in a month.
You don't need to wonder or make changes to "fix" this problem. If Amazon or anyone was making $5000 off employees they paid $1000, they would hire more and wages would go up.
No, I don't. That why I put it in "scare quotes". You wouldn't get that impression had you read my comment I linked above :) — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40425735

I was trying to be a bit restrained in my criticism; otherwise, it gets too repetitive.
Any test mixes signal with noise (Maybe that superstar candidate is just awful at interviews? Maybe the super lazy coder puts their laziness aside only for the interview day?)

Combining many noisy factors into one, with the correct weighting, will always, on average, give better results than a single test.

That means that as soon as DNA tests give even a weak prediction of 'iq' or 'leadership abilities', companies will integrate them into hiring processes if legal and cheap.
"But we still view the computers as "not intelligent" but I'm not sure what measure we'll use now. Something to do with art or music? Hmm, no, wait, that's no good either...."

We could focus on whether the student has actually understood the topic and is not just able to produce nice sounding words and some quotes about it.
Hmmm... Is having a status page a sign of engineering maturity?
I don’t think this will be a concern for long. Either the tech isn’t good enough and it lacks emotive nuance to the point where human is still preferred, or it is good enough and there is no point in basing off a human actor in the first place vs using an original wholly fabricated voice or appearance.

If the tech actually works well enough to stand in for humans, I think we will very quickly see recording real humans in fictional pieces as old fashioned.
Live Nation-Ticketmaster’s monopoly and colluding practices are what’s enabling them. Going after them definitely accomplishes a whole lot.

Additionally, if artists were to continue the high prices in a more transparent manner without them, then that’s fine - it’s a free country and a free market.
Sounds like it's mostly air unless you can point to an LLM that doesn't confabulate.
Thanks for sharing! These are useful toos, but they are a bit different, more based on similarity search in prompt space (a bit like semantic router: https://github.com/aurelio-labs/semantic-router). Our router uses a neural network for the routing decisions, and it can be trained on your own prompts [https://youtu.be/9JYqNbIEac0]. We're also adding support for on-prem deployment soon!
I wondered about this also. Maybe they pulled it temporarily so that their side of the story could get out in circulation. Then they'll reinstate the voice after a while on the grounds that "as we all know, this was developed separately and in advance of any conversations with Scarlett".

If they had kept the voice then it might seem like they were reacting and possibly caught off-guard. Instead, it looks like they're stepping back, assessing the facts, and proceeding with due caution.
> Things work, but work by sheer coincidence

I wouldn't be so dramatic. House of cards don't stay put by coincidence !
How does that have amything to do with disrespect?
WizTree also understands things like OneDrive and Dropbox, and know that files "stored in the cloud" aren't taking up any disc space -- WinDirStat thinks my drive is 140% full.
Perhaps and perhaps another compounding factor was error-prone UX such as not displaying total estimates prominently or the presence of options leading to order-of-magnitude differences.

But the intent of what I suggested is to guard against many classes of errors including data entry, storage, transmission, and interpretation.
you can export and import iTerm settings as well. Or you can point iTerm to a look for config in a particular folder (dropbox etc)

Ask HN: Is there any way to avoid missing milestones without micromanagement?
As a project manager, I sometimes find it hard to motivate my team to deliver on time. Perhaps there is some invisible work that gets in their way, or unexpected blockers waste too much time.

Schools deem a child smart when that child excels at tasks that the school assigns to them. I've those tasks were simply to read and add. Then those tasks included writing and remembering. What tasks do schools demand of children today?

It seems that intelligence is a term that we apply to people who consistently excel at the mental tasks assigned to them, no matter what those tasks entail.
