No. That in itself shouldn't be a cause for concern. Local users can do anything to their own machines already. It would be a concern if you persist this to then later be loaded by someono else's machine.
Not that well known? She's one of the most famous actresses in the world! Seriously, go look at her Wikipedia page.
You can't 100% avoid its use but you can certainly mitigate it somewhat, hopeful that the density plays a role and having fewer microplastics is better than having more. But it's not too hard, just don't buy food that's covered in plastic packages (most junk food), use glassware and silverware more often, avoid plastic bottled drinks as much as possible whenever possible and so on.
I agree that a lot of these components are more distracting than useful. I do like the animated border around buttons, though; that would be very useful to draw the eye towards the "default" option on a page, as long as it was the only one.
I like this idea, but I think it would be even better if under every paper title there was a 100-word AI-generated abstract that states the bottom line.

Sure, it could have happened, but it seems we don’t have evidence either way.

Tweeting “her” months later doesn’t prove anything. That Tweet might superficially look like evidence of intent, but if you think about it, it’s not.
Even certifications can be faked. You should probably not have children at all.
And Bing lifts their results from Google (https://www.wired.com/2011/02/bing-copies-google/) so in the end it seems like the internet only has one search engine.

I just pay for upgraded boarding ($30) which means that I have my pick of aisle/window seats before it gets crowded.

Lack of premium class seating is real, Southwest is not the airline for you if you require >17 inch seat width or >31 inch legroom.
This will happen again with drones. No doubt China is watching Russia closely and ramping up their production. What we're seeing now with FPV and bomber quadcopters is literally the equivalent of WWI biplanes tossing grenades and mortar shells, which only took a decade to become long range strategic bombers dropping thousands of pounds. Once the production is in place, autonomous swarms are an inevitability. And we will be forced to match.
If they had 1,000 voices I would definitely be onboard with that interpretation, especially if they then went on trying to contact dozens of famous people for their voices.

But it’s a small number of voices who all sound distinct. So it seems unlikely they wanted to released two similar voices in that context. Especially when it specifically sounds like the voice actor in a film as an AI.
I had one where the architecture team implemented the brain-dead solution, advised leadership of other teams that they should adopt the brain-dead solution, and that my team would be supporting the brain-dead solution, without consulting us, and made me into the bad guy when I pointed out that my team did not support the brain-dead solution.

We ended up supporting the brain-dead solution, but that team has now experienced 100% turn over since then.
Taking the piss, people paid $80 for these only 2 years ago. Make the waste of a PM that decided "it no longer aligned with the Spotify vision" tour the globe to personally pick up these things and hand people back their money.
I sometimes wonder about the commercial impact of source code leaks. In this case, nobody noticed until the product was commercially irrelevant, but what might have happened if some competitor had noticed?

My guess is probably nothing. Having the interpreter source code is a liability for other companies in case of an infringement lawsuit. Are there good examples where a source code leak actually led to significant consequences for a company?
Apparently it does: https://x.com/mark_riedl/status/1793375699967054334
I think it's tiring because before every expression I have to type a (. It's not tiring to type semi-colors and commas because they are very well positioned on the keyboard and I don't have to reach out in the same way as I need to for the parenthesis.

Plus, there are not a lot of semi-colons and commas in JS and Python.
Out of all journalistic outlets, WaPo, being owned by Bezos, has the least incentive to roast OpenAI in this case.

Wouldn't it be nice if Bezos/Amazon could make Alexa sound like a voice actress that sounds a lot like ScarJo without repercussions? First step is to shape the public opinion.

Hard disagree. Young people may never know the struggle, but using an old book to teach you how to build your first {$project} was a really crappy gamble back in the day. Oftentimes the results of your efforts were mediocre or just flat out sucked because you tripped over every gotcha possible.

Thanks to the pandemic and WFH, I was able to spend hours every week on Youtube watching master craftspeople from around the world teach me skills I've always wanted to learn. It's unbelievable how accessible learning a new skill is compared to even a decade ago.
That's not how they were built. The crews cost far more than the than the planes, on multiple axes.
Yes, I know how to circumvent. Just thought the dev might want to know given the audience for the website.

Balance that with no change fees, free bags, companion pass, and flight credits that do not expire.

When I travelled a lot, I would fly Southwest the first part of the year to earn the companion pass. Once earned I would fly Delta or United, who ever was cheaper.

As a consumer it is nice to have a choice and competition. Seems like the other large carriers raise fees and degrade the travel experience in tandem.
zig-zag encoding is brilliant. Basically you can determine positive or negative based on odd/even and divide by 2 to get the value. I tried to come up with a similar encoding and never thought of this
> (I'll add a personal bit even though that's usually a bad idea... I remember hearing this kind of comment about Sam going back to the Loopt days. My theory is that it had to do with pg praising him so publicly—I think it evoked a "why him and not me?" feeling in readers. The weird-ironic thing is that the complaint has only grown as Sam has achieved more. Running OpenAI through the biggest tech boom since the iPhone is...rather obviously massive. I think if Sam unifies gravity into quantum theory, brokers peace in the middle east, and cures cancer, we'll still be hearing these complaints—because they're not really grounded either in objective achievement or lack of it. It's some kind of second-order phenomenon, and actually rather interesting. At least if you aren't Sam!)

I'm not saying he did not achieve anything significant, but its not clear what those things are, other then having the backing of PG and others.

I'm older and have played the game of corporate game of thrones. I have seen far too many selfish sycophants rise to leadership, only to eventually make things worse than better by using their positions as a platform for their own self interest. It's a big reason why companies like Boeing and GE become hollow shells dependent on government assistance, while companies like Costco and Alcoa last for a long time.

So I want to know what exactly sama has done to deserve prestige and recognition the he has. Bc right now, it looks like cult of personality.

I guess your last sentence answers your question. I'm sure some people had found the deleted files, but because that would before the internet was ubiquitous, it was not generally known or recorded.
I just put them, along with all of my other photo/video on a local NAS that's backed up to an offsite and to backblaze. sticking to a consistent file naming method of your choice is the best, but that's entirely based on your needs.

Are you collecting footage as a personal archive, are you doing it as a business, or are you using drone footage as b-roll in a youtube video (whether for hobbiest pleasure or for youtube revenue)? to me, any of those cases would have a different naming and file management convention.
For kids in school, all of those things are additive. They also do all those same kinds of activities in the hours between school and bedtime and on weekends and during the summer. For kids not in school, the options for social experiences during the school day are limited to the adult(s) with them, and other siblings or kids who are also not in school. During the school day, for most kids living in the US, that's a smaller pool of other kids to spend time with during the day. That's all I'm saying! Of course that doesn't mean they have no other ways to make friends! And I don't mean to imply it's a bad thing. "Having a larger pool of kids to see during school days" is certainly not the only metric worth optimizing for! But I think it just is true that, in most places in the US, kids who are in school spend more time with other kids than those who are not in school, just by dint of being in school being the default and more common thing.

It's one thing to discontinue selling the product.

It's another to discontinue service (i.e. Music) to the product.

It would be absolutely devastating to me too. I only do my gaming on Linux, and my large game catalog is through Steam. Which means that even if they can't really shutdown Proton because it's open source, it still might amount to destroying my game library.
As the body of the article says repeatedly, it's only a rumor.
The problem is, a lot of conspiracy thinking relies on people being publicly stupid and careless, then privately extremely cautious and careful. The Washington Post looks at what was happening internally when the voice was created, and finds that the casting call didn’t ask for anyone who sounds like Johansson, and the actress wasn’t told to sound like her or imitate anything from Her. People say, “That doesn’t mean anything, maybe they were just keeping their intent hidden!”

OK, but then they openly blast it all over Twitter? If you’re so open about what you’re trying to do with everyone in the world, yet you didn’t bother mentioning to the voice actress who’s supposedly going to implement this?

> but only because of the way competition handled fees

Southwest treats all its customers the way the big three treat their most frequent fliers. I am loyal to Delta and also never pay baggage fees or change fees or have miles expire. The lounges are free, which means free food and drink from one airport to the other. I can get a human on the phone within 60s, have had a car help with gate-to-gate transfers when a delay (not my fault) caused a close call while I was flying with a pet and had them help when I needed to fly back from Mexico without my (stolen) passport. For those privileges, I spend five figures with them a year and quite a bit more on their branded credit card.

My mom flew Delta recently. Despite me booking her into a quite-nice set (albeit not front-cabin, my bad), she had an atrocious--almost condescending--experience all the way through. Surprise fees on check-in. No help at the gate. Expensive restaurants or fast food in the terminals, nothing in between. (Granted, the advantages of Delta having never lost one of my bags nor cancelled a flight for bewildering reasons extended to her.)

Going forward, if I weren't buying a front-cabin ticket for her, I'd try to have her fly Southwest.
I wonder if this is the only copy of that source code that survives? It's extremely common for source code from that era to be lost to time, especially from defunct companies. From a historical and preservation viewpoint this "blunder" may be a miracle.
that is definitely true! though i wonder whether bash is ubiquitous enough these days that it can serve as an acceptable "we can rely on this being there" shell.
Oh goodness, this is just the kind of behavior that shows how incapable OpenAI and Altman himself are of conducting their business in a responsible manner. Just the thing you don't want to see in the field of AI. Up next, SJ AI generated revenge porn in retaliation for her causing the ruckus. Of course, completely disassociated from anything at OpenAI (wink, wink).
They won't answer you because they wouldn't get to feel smugly superior if they did, because they should know that it is literally impossible to not use plastics right now, and has been since the 90's.

Realistically, we should lobby for a total ban of single use non-biodegradable plastics worldwide, a tax on single use biodegradable plastics, and a superfund funded by that tax to clean up the world of plastics in every form possible.

If we can get 80% of it dealt with then the rest would take care of itself.
I know a lot of people think that you write more parentheses in Lispy languages, but actually in most cases you just type them in a different order, e.g. instead of `foo(x, y)` to call a function, you type `(foo x y)` and you even save a comma.

Of course, there are constructs such as `let` and `cond` that are more parenthetically noisy (not so much in Clojure though), but on the flip side you don’t have to remember a lot of special syntax like in non-lisp languages.

Most Lisp-people also use structural editing tools like paredit[1], which make it really easy to write and edit s-expressions. I found that after some time I didn’t really think that much about parentheses anymore.

I've never seen that, maybe some extension, content filter gone rogue?
I don't see any reason why the original publication venue has to end up being the canonical reference. That's not even true for traditional peer-reviewed papers. Have you ever seen an original physical copy of, say, Einstein's annus mirabilis papers? I haven't. I suspect that these are extremely rare and valuable collectors items and only trained archivists are even allowed to handle them.

The right way to reference scientific publications is by URN [1], not URL. That makes the location irrelevant, as it should be.

Well that's disappointing from Samsung. But I'm glad iFixit actually followed through and decided it wasn't working out, rather than just declaring victory and walking away.

You've also gotta think that surely they notified Samsung before the announcement and gave them some time to try to salvage the arrangement before ending it. The fact that Samsung didn't suggests it's really not high on their priorities list, even with the expected PR backlash.
EBS volumes are "expensive" compared to S3, due to the limitations of what you can do with live block volumes + replicas, vs S3. It takes more disk space to have an image be a provisioned volume ready to be used for copy-on-write, vs having it as something backed up in S3. So the incentives aren't there vs just trying to make the volume creation process as smooth and fast as possible.

I'd guess it's likely that EBS is using a tiered caching system, where they'll keep live volumes around for Copy-on-write cloning for the more popular images/snapshots, with slightly less popular images maybe stored in an EBS cache of some form, before it goes all the way back to S3. You're just not likely to end up getting a live volume level of caching until you hit a certain threshold of launches.

It could have been a nice opportunity to set a very tangible common goal, and work towards it. But firing people, reshuffling everyone and then forcing AI onto everying doesn't sound like something that would unite employees.
I have a SW story that has made me dedicate my business to them moving forward:

I had a trip to Austin where i was mid-flight when they cancelled all flights there a year or so ago. I was headed to Sacramento as a connection from PDX and when I landed I went to gate agent to let them know and they were already befuddled by other customers as everything east of colorado at that point was a mess, somehow though they found flights that would get me to Austin later that day that had not been cancelled as the forecast was to thaw, and all seemed good. Luckily i had only a carry on so no baggage worries. I just had to get to SNA then off to Austin. So i took the flight, with free drinks and internet now, to SNA and I land and cancelled again in mid air. So I'm thinking what the heck now. I get with the agent who was very understanding and we found a path to go see my parents instead in AZ (i figured since i was this far and hadn't seen them in a few years at their city might as well). They let me divert my destination for no charge, I did have to fly back up to San Jose and then from there to PHX. It was my longest domestic travel experience ever (5am-4pm) but every step the flight attendants, the pilots, the gate agents, everyone was awesome. After SNA I got free drinks, internet, and in the first boarding group from there. I somehow made it to PHX before 4pm. I was blown away at the compassion shown and the respect given even after some passengers blew up at some of these folks. They reset with me and I showed them a modicum of respect and they helped me out immensely. Thier people at every stop seemed to really enjoy their job when dealing with decent passengers and even the not so decent ones they owuld put up with and move along with a smile.

OTOH the phrase “a thousand million” for 10⁹ is not that uncommon.
From what I've seen, in places where billions/trillions are mentioned and it's important that the number is accurately specified, a representation with digits or the exponent of 10 are typically provided.

Is this becoming an "issue" because NK is raking it in ?
I almost always fly SW, and it's my least favorite flying experience. Why do I fly it often then? It's not the cost, I am rarely paying out of pocket for the flights, as they're typically work related. It's just simple - they are my only option for direct flights for most of the travel I do that doesn't involve me driving 2 extra hours to go to the larger LAX airport.

The Right to Repair people remind me a lot of the Free Software people. Which is to say, fundamentally correct, but struggling to get consumers to care enough to influence purchasing decisions.

I don't have the answer to this, but somehow getting consumers to factor in repairability is going to be key to creating the kind of leverage that can drive real change in the industry.
There’s no needle back and forth. Everything in parentheses is a complete expression, like a formula. You have the operator (function) and the operands (args). Think of it as add instead of + and multiply instead of *. You get used to it very quicly and then it does not matter.
I wish authors like this would explore the alternative they want.

Do they want Red Lobster to be socialized and run by the government for the public good? Should it be deemed a historic or essential business, with laws to ensure it lasts until the end of time? Do they really think owners shouldn't be able to sell companies they own, or "bust them out" (aka, simply selling off assets for profit).
Customers are already able to insist that software vendors indemnify them for security risks as a condition of purchase. No new laws are needed for this.
