Depends what type of video, doesn’t it? I’m surely biased but whenever I see people working on high-end film sets they’re using serious cinelifters, and even for property filming you typically see cinewhoops, and for action sport (motocross, drifting, etc) you’ll never see a DJI

I read some of the pages before and after that footnote. Highly disturbing, to say the least.
And sidecar doesn't play well with federated setups and managed devices.
I don't regret it. I just think how lucky i am, that i didn't lose myself completely.
There were a few close calls though back then they didn't scare me. They were cool stories (in my and my friends minds back then).

Today i think differently about that. My close calls were with very clean drugs. Seeing all these crazy new drugs & what they're mixed with, i believe these close calls would have been final ones for me.

I think the experiences did a lot of damage to my young brain, but also, everyone is damaged one way or the other.

But man, i got fun memories. Alongside sad & scary ones.

The last 10 years i was so "focused" on creating something and spent most of time working on stuff (on the computer). Pulling 12-14 hour days or 1-2 days no sleep at all regularly... A lot of less real life memories. That is something i regret much more. Especially now that i am a father and turned 30. I still spend my working hours too focused on trying something big, now that i have already wasted my good years on the computer. This is actually something i regret. Because i feel now that i still didn't do much of significant work & always struggle financially, i am a loser. But i'd rather feel like a loser with less of a "wannabe change the world entrepreneur focused" past and more of a "man, was i really still such an idiot when i was 25" kind of past.
No, it's just that "I buy cheapest stuff and if you don't you must be stupid/gullible/..." is tired.

> GP calls this "coincidence" to convey the feeling of lots of complexity just narrowly avoiding catastrophe in a process that is hard to grok for someone getting into C++

I think that's what they said themselves:

>> It all makes absolutely sense if you are mindful of the design requirements. But if you just start to onboard onto C++ and barely know what a copy constructors is, all these aspects are arcane and sadistic

IMO not knowing why something works (in any language) is an unpleasant feeling. Then if you have the chance you can look under the hood, read things - it's exactly why I'm reading this thread - and little by little get a better understanding. That's called gaining experience.

> Again, being told "you need to just follow this arbitrary rule to fix all these sudden compiler errors" doesn't inspire confidence in ones code, hence (I think) the usage of "coincidence"

That's exactly what other languages like Haskell or Rust are praised for. Why does C++ receive a different treatment when it tries to do the same thing instead of crashing on you at runtime, for once?
Is there a design doc one could study? At a high level I understand how the fact that patches are commutative is elegant, but it seems to me there are performance impacts when, to get to a repository state, we have to apply many patches. Would love to read how pijul thinks about that.

Since trying WizTree I don't think I'll ever go back, it's so much faster, hasn't crashed once on me, and the visualizations are completely adequate for me to be able to see where space is being used.

Exactly. And regardless of the timeline outlined, when discovery happens, they’ll be a bunch of internal messages saying they want ScarJo to do the voice or find someone they can match her close enough. They went down both paths.

This will settle out of court.
Unsigned integer overflow is not undefined in C or C++. You can rely on how it works.

Signed integer overflow, on the other hand, is undefined. The compiler is allowd to assume it never happens and can re-arrange or eliminate code as it sees fit under that assumption.

How many lines will this code print?

for (int i = INT_MAX-1; i < 0; ++i) printf("I'm in danger!\n");
Like good design, good regulation becomes invisible. Actual wisdom is recognizing and counteracting that bias.
The alternative versions of this wallpaper are extremely pretty. I think it's awesome that they've been made available like this, I just wish they were available at a higher resolution. Would love to use one of the red or purple ones on my 4K display.

Expressiveness has many dimensions. It depends on what you are trying to express in the first place.

C++ or Rust are expressive in both directions, towards the metal and upwards in terms of abstractions. But those languages are not easy to reason about. They come with lots of stuff, hard to grok abstractions, ceremony and so on.

Small languages like Scheme or Lua are expressive in that they don't force you to write a lot of stuff to get the job done. But those languages don't typically let you express what the computer should actually do at a lower level.

C or Zigs let you do those things and are also relatively small languages. But their facilities for abstraction are limited and they force you to express more computational details.

Go frees memory and schedules goroutines for you, but lets you express a lot more about how you lay out memory than other managed languages, so you can actually think in terms of bits and bytes. It has a great std lib so you can get stuff going quickly and reliably.
Non-snarky humans are better than both.
The environmental cost of AI is cost prohibitive when each prompt is equivalent to dumping a 16oz bottle of water on the ground. The only ethical usage of AI is revolution, including the revolution to stop AI. And only then if it's used immediately and effectively for it, not a few years down the line.
nice share.

i like this concept, and i think this is the end goal for "ai". not some assistant/person-like chatbot, but a tool that can adapt to you by allowing you to do a lot of externalised processing, reducing the bandwidth between information and understanding.
Intent on whose part, though? Like, supposing in arguendo that the company's goal was to make the voice sound indistinguishable from SJ's in Her, but they wanted to maintain plausible deniability, so instead cast as wide a net as possible during auditions, happened upon an actor who they thought already sounded indistinguishable from SJ without special instruction, and cast that person solely for that reason. That seems as morally dubious to me as achieving the same deliberate outcome by instruction to the performer.
* indices

Doesn't vector search solve a lot of these problems? These AI vector spaces seem like a really easy win here, and they're reasonably lightweight compared to a full LLM.

* Latency

I don't want to call this a solved problem, but it is one that scales horizontally very easily and that a lot of existing tech is able to take advantage of easily

* Correctness

They LLM tooling doesn't necessarily need to make things worse here, although poorly designed it definitely could. AI can do a first pass at fact checking, even though I suspect we'll need humans in the loop for a long while.

---

I think that vector-space at least bring some big advantages for indexing here, being able to search for more abstract concepts.
I think the socializing part is the big part of schools value.

But even as I believe that, I have been rather appalled at how my sons school lets him (and presumably everyone) write by imitation only: starting letters from the bottom, making the shapes all wrong, etc. I have had to take control over that myself to make sure he's got the fundamentals right in shaping, line order, and kerning. Letting students repeat incorrect behavior from the start is the opposite of what school should do, it cements bad habits.

Here is one thing beginners rarely hear, if ever: "learning coding" is not a one-and-done thing _at all_. They won't "know coding" after a 50 videos course or a 4 months bootcamp. Those things are, at best, _introductions_ to coding. The learning, the questioning, it will never end. Not everyone is ready for this.

Your second cynical answer is the correct one. It's always about the shareholder and never about the customer at Broadcom. Remember Computer Associates (CA)? Yeah, they're now Broadcom. That pattern of acquire - consolidate - turn the screws on the customer DNA / culture is very strong in Broadcom.
Quantum Dialectics
Ok, I understand, but the mores of the day can go in the wrong direction. We hope they are positive but there's no guarantee they will be today, or in the future. However your comment raises one major point about mores of the day: They were accepted then but found later to be awful.

People can be wrong and later realize their mistake, it's not something we think about when supporting a cause; how will I be viewed in the future for this? Maybe we should.. Until then, anonymity in donating allows someone to express their opinions as they see the mores of the day to be, now, without fear of retribution, and protected for the distant future when they've realized how wrong they were and changed.
Reading the MFT directly requires Administrator permissions, and doing it correctly means reimplementing support for every nook and cranny of NTFS including things like hard links, junction/reparse/mount points, sparse files, etc.

As an aside, I find it bewildering the hate for success that I see on this site. Ostensibly, the readers are either Startup founder adjacent who are dying for OpenAI's success, or Techie/intellectual types, which I assume aren't looking for monetary success and I would have thought would not be bothered by someone else going on a completely different path.
Most alternative search engines are backed by either Google or Bing. Some have their own indexes as well, but it's rare to see a fully independent search engine.
This is why I like my Surface, plus it will run R, full fat TeX and Emacs unlike the iPad. The iPad is a nice piece of kit but I was constantly running into walls.
>I don't personally think it's anywhere near "identical" to SJ's voice. It seems most likely to me that they noticed the similarity in concept afterwards and wanted to try to capitalize on it (hence later contacting SJ), opposed to the other way around.

So your theory is that this was completely coincidental. But after the voice was recorded, they thought, "Wow, it sounds just like the voice of the computer in Her! We should contact that actress and capitalize on it!"

That's what you're going with? It doesn't make sense, to me.
It's not surprising given how much better it is than everything else
The software support for iPads have been excellent imo, especially compared to competition.

If you bought an iPad in 2012, it should have received software updates until 2019, and all iPads since 2015 are still supported. In general I expect the first 2-3 generations of a new product line to have shorter support cycle before they have matured a bit, so it doesn't surprise me that your particular iPad model only got 7 years, but if you buy an iPad today I would be surprised if it got less than 10+ years of support.

All that said, I think hardware companies should be forced to open up their
hardware for booting alternative OSes once they are classified as EOL.
California passes strict AI bill with new safety regulations for advanced models
I have no way to know that unless I have direct access to her itinerary and flight plans. It's just a matter of public safety. If she has nothing to hide, she has nothing to fear.
Intent matters.

When discovery happens and there’s a trail of messages suggesting either getting ScarJo or finding someone that sounds enough like her this isn’t going to look good with all the other events in timeline.

If it goes to court, they’ll settle.

Read what I said again
This is obviously a bit of a rant, and intended as such, but it’s really well thought through and well-argued too.

I haven’t seen this distinction laid out so clearly before:

Every other language worth being so much as spit on either employs deep garbage collection (Go, D, Java, Lua, C#, etc.) or automatic reference counting (Objective-C, Objective-C++, Swift, etc.), uses RAII (Rust with Drop, C++, etc.), or does absolutely nothing while saying to Go Fuck Yourself™ and kicking the developer in the shins for good measure (C, etc.).

GC, ARC, RAII or GTFO, those are the options. That’s right!

I always come away from these discussions with more respect for Objective-C -- such a powerful yet simple language. I suppose Swift is the successor but it feels very different.

Although, Obj-C only really came into its own once it finally gained automatic reference counting, after briefly flirting with GC. At that point it was already being displaced by younger and more fashionable languages.
No, he's just being realistic.

Even without getting into semantics about "what is art", the reality is that this is promotional material for advertising. This wasn't commissioned by a rich patron to put up on exhibition for MoMA.

This isn't to take away from the artists skill, effort, creativity etc. but the context of this is inherently a business and economic decision. There's no artistic impetus, no political/social/cultural message.

It's a computer wallpaper that monopolistic megacorp funded to show off how wealthy it is. It's a very typical "look at how much money we spent" exercise to showcase success or whatever.
I agree with you up to a point, although the level of essay writing needed be an engineer and the level of mathematics needed to understand progressive taxation shouldn't need to be taught at university by experts in a field. Not everyone goes to university (nor should they without substantial changes to what is meant by university), so it's really not the right place to teach the tools to function in society.

Political science is not a subject I'm claiming doesn't need any maths, but hatred or fear of mathematics shouldn't prevent someone from studying languages or history, just as a hatred of writing essays shouldn't prevent someone from studying a science. Obviously nobody hating or fearing either mathematics or essays is what we should aim for, but until we get there, don't prevent people from doing the things they excel at.

POD is not an idiom. It was an actual specification (in a sense) for interop between C++ and C. Only in the later standards (maybe starting at C++14?) did the committee refine it further as "POD = Trivial + Standard_Layout" but that is just a redefinition without any fundamental change in semantics. So you can happily write C++ code with just your understanding of POD from C++98 in practice and everything will work fine.

Quoting random articles should prove the point that the author of that page on the F1 website did not in fact make a typo, as you suggested. The word powerplant is used — fairly commonly, both written and spoken — in motoring journalism in place of the word engine or motor.

Is there a relationship between the seeming inevitability of societal collapse as a result of climate change, as described in the article, and the seemingly dereliction-of-duty level of undisciplined economic behaviour of the US?

Are they saying "fuck it!" because in a short enough period of time whatever calamity the US economic situation causes is going to be massively overshadowed by the climate change calamity? Are the "haves" using essentially free money / debt to create their own personal enclaves to maximise their chances of, at least, short term survival.

(Only towards the end of writing that did I feel like I was reviewing the Fallout storyline).
So if you just so happen to hire someone that coincidentally sounds like "her", and you haven't even seen the movie, no harm no foul, right? Afterall, the alternate voice actress has a right to use their voice as well.

But if you deliberately seek out the actress who voiced "her" and then happen to get a similar sounding alternate after the "her" actress refuses, you're in legal violation. Is that right?

I'd like to have seen this go to court.
I think this is actually an interesting question. I think I've been leaving on the default desktop on any computer I use, for over a decade now. It's not just that, it's every kind of setting. I just don't futz around with things that don't actively get in the way of my work anymore. I used to love to tweak everything, to try to pour my personality into a sweet computer setup, but after using computers for fifteen years or so, I just lost interest in that.
I'd love to see a user journey map of how stamps would be used. Like, I sign up for a website and enter my email address and the open my mail client to generate a couple tokens, then I copy some blob of text into the sign up page (so they don't need to buy tokens). Then after a year of using the service, they run low on stamps and notify me (maybe over email) that they need more stamps? That sounds like a bigger hassle than spam (I don't get much).

Or am I misunderstanding how stamps would be used?
I would consider CVS and RCS worth studying for historical reasons, since they have no releases for over a decade (according to Wikipedia). I was considering incorporating the history of version control, but there is already a great one here: https://blog.plasticscm.com/2010/11/version-control-timeline... -- it has a great comment section as well. Maybe it would be interesting to create an updated version of the article.

As for "$Id$", in bazel you would use https://bazel.build/docs/user-manual#workspace-status which works very well and can differentiate between stable and volatile.
Justice Department to Sue Live Nation, Seek Breakup of Concert / Ticketing Giant
Yes, if she lost movie roles or other contracts because people assumed they could license the OpenAI voice then she could claim she was harmed. However OpenAI removed the voice and this situation is widely publicized. So it is hard to prove that she is being harmed now
Protected voice? Pianos all sound the same, how come they aren’t protected?

Voice is just an instrument. I love finding reasons to hate on big tech, but “it sounds like Me” (intentional or not) is bullshit. If I build a piano that sounds just like your piano… tough luck there are two pianos now.
Then OpenAI did the priming by referencing "Her".
I'm guessing those examples are legion. Always treat your costumers and partners with respect. Another famous example is BeOS thinking they have Apple by the balls to be the basis for OSX. Demanded an outrageous price, Apple just used a BSD.
Thanks! I had no trouble setting up the app with my car. This looks like it covers what most EV owners in Europe would need to optimize their electricity bill.

What I'm still missing here is a way to reserve some battery capacity to take advantage of exceptionally low prices. I'm fine with charging to 60% for daily usage. Charging to 80% could be postponed until the market offers a really good deal.

Perhaps I'm irrationally over-optimizing just to get few more euro of savings... But it also feels good to soak up renewable energy when it is plentiful.
The voice was called Sky and OpenAI wasn't using her likeness to promote the voice or product. She isn't that well known, I didn't even know she was in Her.
