Sky sounds more like Rashida Jones than SJ, to me.
How many of these things are "careers", though? To me, many of these examples sound like doing a bunch of different jobs, not careers.

Was being a factory worker a career, or was that a job you were doing before you started your first career as a researcher?

But I do think this thread is making me realize that this is probably a boring dispute over what "career" means.
Strongly agree with your approach: "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late"
That is yet to be determined. There is some pressure in the other direction. I know of one large corporation, that does a lot of work around the world of the kind where programming errors could destroy property or kill people, has strict policies wrt. AI-generated code. This includes an obligation to clearly mark code that was written by AI, as well as restrictions on when it's allowed. This is driven not just by potential IP issues, but also by security and export control.

(Yes, in a large enough corp, export control is a source of a surprisingly large amount of extra work...)
Thanks so much everyone for the feedback, did not expect this to get so much support. I know there are a lot of bugs and usability issues, I'll try to fix all this stuff in the next week and post again.
Do keep in mind that the supposed soundalike actor they supposedly used for the voice that sounds exactly like SJ is not coming forward at this point to defend their work, and OpenAI refuses to make them available to journalists. It's understandable at this point, but with how duplicitous OpenAI has shown itself to be, I will need proof of their existence beyond just OpenAI saying so.

I'm betting on the actor sounding nothing like SJ at all. Their voice was used as a baseline in the training of the tool, but ultimately it was modified to copy SJ.

Sure. I'm not trying to say they're the same thing. But the vast majority of climbers have a _conscious_ approach to risk. Some risks are worth taking. Some aren't. The key is that you have to be aware of them and be proactive about them, even though some times, the decision is, "yeah, the weather forecast is uncertain, but this is our best window for trying to summit, let's go."

Being conscious about your risks _is_ very compatible with running a startup or moonshot.

Astro's "kill it early" philosophy is a good example of this. There's a lot of risk in running for a long time with an idea that doesn't actually have legs. The "process" you use to mitigate it is to try to kill it as fast as possible. That's not process in the sense of filling out a lot of forms, but it's a process nonetheless, and a healthy one in a startup environment.
>Ditto for SJ--there was a clear intent to reproduce her specific voice, based on her role in "Her".

Again, there wasn't. An article literally came out today that they had contracted the VA before contacting SJ. [1]

Honestly this argument right here is what the slippery slope argument is all about. If you continue any further, you're just further proving it. They literally didn't even contact SJ before hand.

>while singing his song

You even added this caveat before, its already the slippery slope in action. No song was being sung here.

Doesn't yahoo also use bing under the hood?
Arguably it can also make things faster. A small provider might need to migrate other instances around to make space for your new instance, whereas a big provider almost certainly can satisfy your request from existing free capacity, and it should therefore be a matter of milliseconds to identify the physical machine your new VM will run on.

> "if we use a voice that sounds anything like the voice in the famous smash hit movie that mainstreamed the idea of the kind of product we're making [...]

I think it's deceptively easy to overestimate how likely it is for someone to have had some specific thought/consideration when constructing that thought retroactively, and this still isn't really a specific enough thought to have caused them to have set up the casting process in such a way to eliminate (and prove that they have eliminated) possible subconscious tendency towards selecting voice actors with voices more similar to celebrities.

But, more critically, I believe the anger was based on the idea that it may be an intentional SJ soundalike hired due to being turned down by SJ, or possibly even a deepfake. Focusing on refuting that seems to me the best PR move even when full knowledge of what happened is available, and that's what they're doing.
If they stop working on it, I think it will be dead for new games in 3-5 years.
In the second example, buffer is still a pointer? If so, when does free run, and who decides that? When buffer goes out of scope, could do_stuff store the pointer some place else?

I find this an interesting thought experiment, basically types that you'd opt in to RAII. Just have a feeling that you'll need to define some notion of ownership to make it work.

Don’t get too hung up on facts like that. If it goes to court you will have an extraordinarily likable actress standing up to a giant soulless tech company. Good luck finding a jury sympathetic to the tech company.

All SJ has to do is show that they wanted her and plant the idea that they may have been thinking of her when they hired the other actor. The end results sounds enough like her that I think OpenAI is going to have a very rough time in court.

I think the chances of this getting to court are almost nothing. OpenAI will replace the voice and settle with SJ.

Remember the Blurred Lines vs Got to Give It Up lawsuit? I personally think they sound way different yet Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams lost that one.

I use WinDirStat. At one point a number of years ago, I became curious about the parent program KDirStat. So I actually got that installed on some Ubuntu or something. It was interesting. Like a prototype for WinDirStat or something.
Honest question, why is the study of microplastics and its causes a recent thing? Are better instruments involved somehow? Plastics with their special properties have always been known to be "unnatural", even used as a synonym for that word, so one would think we would have kept an eye on them from the start.
In this case it's not complexity but a useful abstraction.

It abstracts the void_buffer into its own type with proper correct functions for creating, (maybe copying), moving, and destructing the buffer. With that you get a simple type that you can use elsewhere without needing to remember that you need to free() the buffer manually before the end of the scope, or needing to remember how to correctly copy or move the buffer elsewhere.

> It seems like the issue is being blown out of proportion.

It kinda feels like its on purpose. Someone in a previous thread mentioned that this might have been a cynical marketing ploy and I'm warming up to the theory. After they recorded the Sky VA, they figured out a whole marketing campaign with SJ to promote the voice feature. After she turned them down (twice), they released with just enough crumbs referencing the movie to goad SJ into committing a first degree Streisand.

With the slow roll out, everyone would have forgotten about the feature the day after the announcement but now it's been in the news for a week, constantly reminding everyone of what's coming up.
I'm glad that people make tools like this, but this is a task that I need to do so rarely that I'm likely to forget it exists, which means that I'll likely roll my own (inferior!) version as a one-time thing.
But this creates value for shareholders! /s

Actually all that trawling at least provides tons of food for people and typically is at least regulated to not do too much harm. Getting a lot of clams from beach for fun does not put food on table.
You're complaining about the news/publishing industry in general, though.

As I mentioned earlier, the register isn't on my radar anymore and obviously sold out. In your original post, you had a hate-on with their tone, but it was their tone that (originally) made them refreshing. The discourse without it would be have reporting on corporate release announcements and various reviews by people who don't use the products day-to-day in their actual job.

Snarky tones about Larry Ellison needing yacht money or referencing whether a good or useful IBM product was worth having to deal with their aggressive sales people was the indications that the writers (again at one time) got or understood the industry.

Of course, that's not sustainable as a business model...

Anyways, my main point is that it's not the tone that's the issue, it's the publication industry for reasons that you stated.
Hetzner does not offer a network block storage comparable to EBS that can be used as a root (bootable) file system.

Says the paper that just entered into an agreement with OpenAi
I disagree with the article. I think Google is right to freak out. And I don't see how they are going to deal with it with their sick culture and hierarchy.

I think Meta is doing much better. They are not freaking out, instead they are hyper-focusing on winning the race and then see how can they use that to improve. They have a lot less nonsense. I have no idea how they are going to monetize this huge expense, but I would bet they are going to be fine. (who would've thought only a couple of years ago)
Maybe? I don't think engineers are likely to "inadvertently" access data inappropriately with either policy.
That assumes an incredibly slippery slope.

I would say that OpenAI wanted something that sounded like her which in turn sounded like Scarlett Johannson.

I also think the "sounded like" is less clear than you think. Is it similar, yes. But how similar I am not sure what the line is but for sure I didn't think it was Scarlett Johannson. By saying it is Scarlett Johannson and relating it to her our brains will make the association though. That is marketing.
There are no performers. At it's basic level it's people getting together in a home where they read a bit of a book. More like a book club.
No. It's DWARF based.

The main two tricks are: it preprocesses all of the DWARF info at startup for faster lookups, and it dynamically patches the return addresses of functions on the stack injecting an address to its own trampoline, which allows it to skip going through the whole stack trace every time it needs to dump a backtrace. For example, if you're running a function nested 100 stack frames deep and that function calls malloc 100 times then Bytehound will only go through ~300 stack frames in total (~100 times for the first call then only ~2 frames for each successive call, if my math is right), while other similar tools will go through 10000 stack frames (going through all ~100 frames to the very bottom for every call).
Meta does this.

This is going to seriously impact the modern day dating scene.

you are on the first date and the woman has three questions;

can I just ask? "Have you been jabbed"?

can I just ask? "Have you been checked for testicular microplastics"?

can I just ask? "Do you have the certification to prove it"?

She is rightly concerned about her future children.

I certainly would not have a child with anyone who has been jabbed or has testicular microplastics.
>I think if he comes back he won't leave.

Agree heavily with this sentiment. It sounds like this could be a useful tool for a personal project of mine, but I wasn't nearly as interested after reading they're not attempting to make money yet. I'm a bit burnt out on that business model. Predictability is just as important as price when I'm deciding how to invest a large portion of my free time. I happily gave OpenRouter $20 for their service, and I've barely dented the credits with thousands of test runs over two months.

On that note, I think I'd be even more likely to pay for Unify.ai if I could opt to bypass the auto-routing and use it the same way I use OpenRouter - a single endpoint to route to any model I want. Sometimes I've already determined the best model for a task, and other times I want redundant models for the same task. It's possible Unify has this option, though I didn't see it while skimming the docs.

But really, all in all, this is a super cool project and I'm happy it was shared.

Just the lingering endless possibilities of youth. I don't mind being a dev. Wouldn't say I _love_ it, but the stresses of the job really aren't that bad compared to other jobs I've had.

IME, people are often (not always) very bad at identifying the true source of their psychological stressors. When your life is unsatisfying for reasons that are your fault (or just very hard to fix) and hard to grapple with (e.g., your romantic life is awful, you hate your physical apperance, you antagonized your family, you're an addict, etc.), your working hours can feel intensely oppressive with that other stuff weighing on you and the newness of scenery and focus can appear like an attractive chance to escape. But it's often an avoidance tactic.

I have no idea if that's the OP's issue, but the great vagueness in his question about jumping careers sure raises red flags for me. The grass often isn't greener elsewhere, and the problems just follow you.
Imagine the life of a spider. Imagine it for forty three years. Lurking in your burrow, waiting for a snack to wander by. Getting fucked by spider boys and maybe eating them. Do trapdoor spiders eat their mates? I’m not sure. Laying eggs and watching the spiderlings go running off. Again and again for forty three years.

That just feels like a long time to be a spider.

You can find the lowest performers in an org pretty easily through a combination of reviewing what they’ve gotten done the last year (via self reviews, manager reviews, a recap writeup etc) and looking at their commit history and docs or other artifacts created.

High performers challenge this notion because they say “I have very difficult bug fixes that required little code.” But high performing engineers just don’t realize how little (shockingly little) output actually comes out of low performers. Like, a slow trickle of trivial code, and tasks that stretch for weeks for no good reason besides their inability to overcome obstacles
Banning ransoms directly is a good idea. Even if that results in massive losses or even bankruptcies by victims, that is an acceptable consequence to prevent money from flowing to criminal organizations and hostile foreign governments. Sometimes you have to amputate a damaged limb to save the body. Paying a ransom in any circumstance should be a criminal offense.

> Everyone forgets that the Nazis got there eugenics program from the US.

You're not wrong, but the US didn't do death camps or mass eradication for its eugenics stuff; it was mostly forced sterilization. That's of course still deplorable, but I don't think it's completely fair to pin what the Nazis did entirely on the US.

Of course the genocide of the indigenous Americans was absolutely horrible, and comparable to what the Nazis did, but I do not believe that that was generally eugenics-justified.

What triggered me as to Recall's true ulterior purpose was the fact that it resembled the software oDesk (now Upwork) made you install, which periodically took screenshots and camera shots to ensure you weren't goldbricking.

When it was just an application, companies could refuse to install it. They could say, nah, trust in our employees is part of our culture. When it's built in to everybody's OS, it becomes much harder to refuse to gather and use everybody's data. It's like the heat detector under everybody's desk: ostensibly it's there to measure the need to run A/C... but as long as it's there why not use it as an absenteeism detector?

Plus, the data gathered is much more extensive, and much more searchable, with the proposed Microsoft solution.
This is going to sound like an ad, but I exclusively fly SW domestically. As noted, they used to look like a worse value but only because of the way competition handled fees. Couple this with the standard rewards program and I think SW is a steal. Did you know that SW is also the only domestic airline to have never filed bankruptcy? I’m glad to see the rest of the world being forced to compete more honestly. I’m sad to see that my convenient flights might get a little more crowded, but oh well!
In addition they have prepared for a full court case before hand, with all their ducks in a row in theory. I am not a lawyer so I am not sure if the law works this way but this might help them defend their case and set a precedence.

My unsubstantiated theory: They have a voice trained on Johansson's body of work ready to go, but didn't release it because they didn't get her permission. This explains why they were still asking her right up to the ChatGPT-4o release. Then people (including Johansson) associate this Sky voice with Johansson and Her. OpenAI realizes it looks bad, despite not being intentional, so they pull Sky for PR reasons.
It would go only where you'd bring it to.
My understanding engine is a device governed by laws of thermodynamics, whereas motor is based on electrodynamics.

Always thought calling car engine a motor is incorrect, shouldn’t be used interchangeably. In my experience machinery would be common name for both in engineering terms, not daily usage.
OpenAI didn’t need to talk to her to create an imitation there’s many recordings freely available. Recording beforehand therefore has zero impact on their ability or intent to imitate such a public figure.

The core question eventually put before a jury would be if it was unintentionally similar or an imitation and attempting to pay her for use of her voice is clear evidence they wanted it because of it or they perceived the voices where overly similar. Either of those are possible, but to then use the voice anyway became problematic.
