> Also looking from the perspective of the lesser known voice actress, does Scarlett Johansson have the right to trample the lesser known voice artists future job opportunities by intimidating her previous employers?

This is weird, if not bizarre. Scarlett didn't do anything. Literally no action besides saying no. Then a company decides to impersonate her and use her performance in a movie as implicit marketing for a product. That's the company's problem, not hers.
Global warming is the ongoing increase in temperature, which is primarily driven by increasing carbon dioxide levels. It's not the same thing as the greenhouse effect, which is the mechanism by which CO2 and other greenhouse gases affect global temperature. Water vapour is a stronger greenhouse gas but it is not the primary cause of global warming.
After having had that voice on well-produced nature content for my entire life, I find most other nature-documentary voice-overs quite jarring.

Yes! I think it's not just familiarity, what makes him definitive is a combination of factors: fantastic voice and deep domain knowledge and his very clear love and enthusiasm for nature.

You can get an actor with a great voice, Morgan Freeman or Tom Hiddleston or whoever, but you always know they're just reading from a script and probably don't know any more about the animals than you do.

And there are other experts with a knack for presenting, people like Mary Beard, but you can't just transfer that knowledge to a completely different subject area.
Although I am not completely on the 'people don't really want to learn' train, I acknowledge one of the biggest problem in education in aligning incentives. No one is able to answer an innocent question by a kid about why do they need to learn what they are learning in class, without sharing an abstract into-the-future explanation, that the kid cant relate to.

On the topic of AI tutors will change the education, it reminds of this book i recently read (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262546065/teaching-machines/). People have been trying to sell similar ideas, in different packaging(technology) for decades now. Video technology had the same pitch for how schools suck, teachers dont want to teach and we will revolutionise the access and personalisation to education. While videos, Sal's or YT in general, have done a great job(specially at accessibility), our education stats are continuously deteriorating.
Before the onset of LLMs we created an instant-tutoring service(https://askfilo.com/) that could very much connect students to teachers in real time. Thousands of tutoring session laters we are still learning what students want/need from a teacher, 'they want to learn' but not everything or every subject, 'they are very much capable of learning' but our assessment are built very rigidly.....learning to test well is a learning on it own. There is so much understanding we lack in terms of mass education and it is not because of lack of good content or tooling.
You don't have to go straight to the Professional ($108/year, unlimited searches) plan. There's also the Trial (free, 100 searches one-time) and Starter ($5/month, 3600 searches per year) plans, to help you figure out if it's worth spending for the unlimited plan.

Once I hit 3600 searches & was faced with the prospect of either going back to DuckDuckGo & Google to provide inferior search results -OR- paying $108/year for Kagi, it made the choice pretty simple. But it took me a few months to get to that point, and I don't think I spent more than $15 in that time figuring out if Kagi was right for me.
Interesting but I am not sure I understand this:

>> contact-and-removal operation takes constant time, the worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is O(n).

How is the contact-and-removal operation constant time? How can that assumption ever be true? If you use a parallel processor like human vision or human feel (ie. which pressure nerve activates on the hand) it may appear constant, but if you use a computer it would be n right (as you would need to check n slots). Wouldn't either defy O(n)?
Maybe it's different in the US but everywhere else in the world 50K is a really huge amount of money for everyone but the 0.1% richest.But anyway if as you same it's also a ticket for the best schools, the rewards is still huge beside the money. I would even say it's even worse like that, because attending the best school give so many opportunities
you may feel that it is related to various fallacies - for example the fallacy of misplaced concreteness or the fallacy of false analogy?
The IRS isn’t going through all tax filings with that level of detail.

If I were to guess, 90% are accepted at face value, 10% are flagged for some irregularity and 1% are audited in detail.
Even if it is non-crank... how did Nature editors allow such non- scientific wording to go through?

Ever since Deep mind serially publishes shit Nature article with close to zero reproducibility, many gaps, close to no section on related work (and therefore no credit assignment to previous authors on whose work they built) -the AlphaGeometry paper comes to mind- I'm wondering whether Nature simply has abandoned it's status and is devolving from a flagship journal toma crackpot journal ...
Exactly, everyone claiming so hasn't actually listened to it [1], or they're basing their opinion off of "suspicious correlations", like that Altman mentioned "her" just before releasing a voice-interactive AI assistant.

I get here by typing a mangled version of "hacker news" into DDG. It's currently not working at all.
Does Altman really think that was the goal, to “win”?

To defeat Scarlett Johanssen?

The point is it’s the wrong thing to do, regardless of whether or not he can legally get away with it.

No wonder Silicon Valley’s reputation for ethical behavior is in the toilet.
There are several terminal codes that perform actions on the client, if the terminal impliments them.

Even just the code that changes the window title could even possibly be a security risk.

But the mother of all, in commercial terminals it's even a critical feature to have an escape code that literally executes an arbitrary string sent from the host to be executed on the client. Usually just to launch a browser or local document viewer, but could be anything.

I used it to scan and upload documents from a scanner attached to the users pc back to the host for instance. In years past it would be used to launch excel etc before pretty much everything became doable over the net in a browser.
Scroll down on that site, literally. Words have more that one meaning.

Here's what I get from MacOS's dictionary: institute legal proceedings against (a person or organization).

I can also be pedantic and insist that, even under the strict interpretation you are vouching for ...

I guarantee you that nobody who's ever heard her voice actually thinks that, go on:

> Worse, evidence points to Altman wanting you to make that connection. It’s trying to sound like her performance in one specific movie.

There is no such evidence.
For like 20 years. The job market for tech workers is hell right now and is only gonna get worse
It does not garanty resiliency but it does increase it.

If tomorow mastodon.social disappear the network might lose 80% of it's content but recovery could be possible even if the server never come back.
A verbal contract, which has no record at all, can also be legally binding.
Your comment made me laugh because out of context, it suggests “the Windows team” is averse to copying things.
“This is just standard stuff” belongs in a category of phrases like “this is perfectly legal”.
Yes, RAID isn't a backup, but it is resilient.

You will have a better chance at uptime with a RAID than a single drive so you hopefully don't have to climb up ventilation ducts, walk across broken glass, and kill anyone sent to stop you on your quest to reconnect those cables that were cut.
All regulation has a cost. And if based on the track record of the US government, it tends to be high and even potentially introduce weird incentives that solve one problem but create two more.
to be fair there is a mechanism for preventing drm content to be captured down to hardware level. it is much more trickier to implement a way to recognize sensitive info on the screen visually.

but the incentives are of course not aligned in consumer's favour.
Yep. It is a conundrum, and why a lot of my peers in F500s lead hybrid cloud or a multi-cloud migrations. This way you can auto-scale if needed within your cloud providers (which are easier to migrate from than on-prem due to better DevEx) or return back to on-prem if needed from a cost saving or infra standpoint.

That said, these are questions that are very organization dependent.
Yes, exactly. And children should have opportunities to socialize with adults, in ways that aren't based on authority and following arbitrary rules. All of us who went to school know the feeling of disorientation when school ended and we had to face "the real world," which has very different rules and expectations than the school environment. Imagine raising children who didn't have to make that adjustment, because they only know "the real world."
The third definition listed on your Merriam-Webster link seems to be what's applicable here, and very clearly describes the term as applicable to any legal action.

This is consistent with my understanding of the term as a native English speaker, having experienced the term "prosecute" being used in reference to both criminal and civil cases in all forms of discourse, verbal and written, formal and informal, for decades, and only first encountering the claim that it shouldn't be used for civil cases here in this thread, today.
Here's what I'd do:

array = [];

function clos(val) { return () => val; }

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { array.push(clos(i)); }

array.forEach(fn => console.log(fn()));

This outputs 0-9 instead of 10, though I'm just a silly self-taught person that never got schooled at these things, maybe there is some reason not to use closures that I don't know about.
Call to tradition/call to nature
Not exactly “more resilient”, but rather, “the only way to gain more resiliency over a single system”.

A distributed system can be more resilient, but it also adds complexity, making it (sometimes) less reliable.

A single system with a lot of internal redundancy can be more reliable than a poorly implemented distributed system, which is why at a smaller scale it’s often better to scale vertically until a single node can’t handle your needs.

Distributed systems are more of a necessity than “the best way”. If we could just build a single node that scaled infinitely, that would be more reliable than a distributed system.
Have we learned nothing of mythologizing these tech people? That sentence, structured to make this executive seem super human, is a lot of what is wrong about SV. Putting consulting/finance showmen (and women) above true innovators.
In france, Drone less than 250gr are legal without any documentation in autorized places (or more exctely where it's not forbidden) but you need to be able to see the drone. So FPV is legal as long as the drone isn't too far.
Amazon accessed private home videos without telling customers
> Basically, this customer was using BOTH Nutanix and VMWare internally (I am VERY surprised how the previous CFO did not get fired for something like that), and because they already had the Nutanix knowhow and licenses, migrated fully to it.

Why do you think that? Not putting all of your eggs into a single vendor basket seems like a solid plan - if anything the Broadcom/VMware disaster supports it.
Windows could open zip files all the way back to the XP era....
Exactly. I barely know who this actress is. To me, it sounds like the tens of thousands of other white american voices. How is the remotely too similar?
Alternatively, how do publicly schooled children make friendships after their schooling teaches them that the default social interaction is hostility? A large proportion of socialization found in schools would be illegal if you tried it in the workplace.
I'm sure you'll tell me, but I call it "pointing out a fact."
> they've biased themselves into it

Maybe the fault for that belongs to the company who tried to create the association in your mind by using a similar voice and tweeting about that one movie with the voice.

That’s basic advertising. They knew what they were doing. It’s just that it may have backfired.
mostly not making that comment from a technical perspective. I personally have not had technical issues with Nutanix, we use it as designed: hyperconverged infra in relatively large deployments.

my comment is mostly around their financial performance. it was not too long ago they were facing some headwinds, and giving the market concerns they could be sold off. Going from those concerns, to now having substantial growth, can cause some pain points for a company
small angry troll
This is basically how product photography works if you’re on a budget. You keep the camera fixed in place but adjust the lighting between shots. Then, in post, choose your favorite components of each image and composite them together in Photoshop. I like watching a YouTube channel called “workphlo” that does this. The core process is the same for all of the items, but it’s quite enjoyable to see him vary the techniques.

How did you gather that from this text? I don't see any substance in the article or is it not showing for me?
I think your point that sometimes the "educated" answer is not the correct one is still a good one, but to me "global warming" is about rates rather than levels - warming, not warmth - and the belief is that the change in atmospheric CO2 concentration is what is causing the warming (change in warmth), whereas water vapor concentration is not changing enough, or in a consistent enough direction, to be the culprit.

I feel like the midwit thing applies here... Sometimes the "mid" answer is wrong for subtle reasons that still make it essentially right...
Very well executed. Congrats. Signed up.

The chatbot providers will enjoy seeing how they stack up against each other. Your data/analytics/alerts will be valuable to them. Revenue opportunity there.

But in practice, the thing that's actually rewarded is cramming for exams. Students respond to incentives.
I knew no Visual Basic. Microsoft was converting from XNS to TCP/IP and MSMAIL to Exchange. I wrote the automation to port mspager from MSMAIL to Exchange - if you were in a thread on MSMAIL, you cc:mspager, and everyone on the thread with a pager would get a page. I must have spent as many as six hours hacking something together to make it run.

Ah, the 90s. I also wrote a tool to catch people setting up remote dialins so a) they had internet from home b) could share those links with friends to grab stuff from the products server. It ran on Linux and used a network sniffer to catch people.

ITG was crazy!
Study: Up or Down? How Culture and Color Affect Judgments
As much as I love blaming things on MBAs, the culture of OpenAI looks at least as much like what happens when you make a room full of real-life Big Bang Theory nerds very rich by rewarding their fantasies of a world free of balanced human interactions.

We have to look at the reality that the worst excesses of the new Silicon Valley culture aren’t stemming from the adults sent to run the ship anymore, and they aren’t stemming from the nerds those adults co-opt anymore either.

The worst excesses of the new Silicon Valley culture are coming from nerds who are empowered and rewarded for their superpower of being unable to empathise.

And I say that as someone who is back to being almost a hermit. We got here by paying people like us and not insisting we try to stop saying what we think without pausing first to think about how it will be received by people not like us.

It’s not a them-vs-us thing now. It’s us-vs-us.
Another option is to use multiple sources. For example Kagi who use Mojeek (self-disclosure) and others; "Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide"
I think we're somewhat talking past one another -- in any case, we'll add more in the README on minimal perfect hash functions and the differences. In short, you'd need to also have a data structure (e.g., a Bloom filter) for checking if the key is in your MPHF and then also a mapping of 1..n MPHF values to your actual values.
Well, give it a try.

If you can make it work in a way that has acceptable performance characteristics, every systems language will adopt your technique overnight.
What about AI?
I've seen this with C# lately. The tools have come a long way as a lot of languages have gotten closer to the good ideas of lisp over the years.

> The only qualification to be a repeat Apple consumer is the complete lack of self-awareness and this essay is beautiful in encapsulating the cheery vacuousness of the cult.

Thank you. This has opened my eyes to all of those unnecessary productivity gains I get from the apple ecosystem I use. I have become complacent and too dependent on all that extra time I have because my apple devices just work together. I now realize instead that I should be using all that free time trying to make a whole bunch of plastic crap (that will only work for a couple of years) from different manufacturers try and work together.
The thing about language is it’s basically the world’s most pure democracy. Communities, cultures, ect… each decide for themselves how they’re going to use it. Individuals or organisations can attempt to establish themselves as an authority on how it should be used, by forming committees or writing dictionaries, but the only people who care what they have to say are their own respective community of aligned interests. Everybody else ignores them. I would say if you want your dictionary to be actually useful, then it should attempt describe the way words are actually used, rather than attempt to dictate their permissible use.

I think English is a language that lends itself to this rigid approach a bit more than some other languages, because of how common it is for English as a first language speakers to only speak English. Where I live there are a lot more languages, basically everybody is multilingual, and the level of slang, language mixing and other general bastardisation would probably make a lot of English speakers cringe…
> Planting trees is also a tricky endeavor — if they don’t live for hundreds of years, they just wind up releasing all the carbon they’ve stored.

The idea is, or should be, not just to plant trees but to expand forests. Trees die and trees are born all the time in a forest and as long as that forest exists it acts as carbon storage.

To create new forests, or even to expand existing ones, in an environmentally positive way and for the long term is tricky and probably requires government's support.
I was actually thinking more in terms of helicopters having the collective on a separate input from yaw... bur then again, helicopter pilots use their feet to yaw, not their fingers.

Macbook Pro with 128GB RAM runs Llama 3 70B entirely in memory and on GPU. It's remarkable to have a performant LLM that smart and that fast on a (pro)sumer laptop.
Makes sense, thanks a lot for the feedback. We're pretty confident that future versions of our router will provide sufficient value where we can take margins here, we therefore don't expect the need to start charging for Single-sign-on (SSO) alone. The SSO benefits are only the beginning in my mind, our main value will come from custom benchmarks across all models + providers and optimizing LLM applications, including agentic workfows. I do very much see your point though. Thankfully, we're very fortunate to have several years of runway, so we don't plan on disappearing anytime too soon!
Design Research Is Overrated
Could easily implement an algorithm that ranks them based on number of new, non-hidden, non-flagged comments during the last 24 hours times the amount of hours since it was posted, which would manifest a 'best' metric where a thread that's really old but still draws discussion would be pushed to the top.

Sample size only 2, because not being interested in homeschooling I don't have those support groups. Getting admitted to university after homeschooling is easy, staying there is tough. One kid struggled, flew out then needed one extra year of preparation, the other kid went directly to two years of preparation to be able to successfully go through university. But it's true you don't need those higher studies to get jobs, and for that homeschooling works just as fine. If you ask why I wasn't interested in homeschooling: not interested in becoming a teacher either as full or part time job (because no, teaching latin grammar to your kids is not parent quality time), and same argument for the wife.
All prospects are not the same.

You have 5 types of accounts:

- Strategic: F500s or very well known startups

- Enterprise: F1000s

- Mid-Market: Companies below $1B a year in revenue

- Federal: Federal Government

- Channel/Reseller: For companies that are too small, you have a MSP sell for you because you can't be bothered to sell to them.

Strategics, Enterprises, and Fed will always get good deals and will always have protracted conversations, as these are accounts spending 7-9 figures.

Mid-market and below will always have a bad time because they ain't spending enough.

We're businesses, not your friends. We'll try to help, but at the end of the day, we want to get paid as well.
