> As far as I can tell, Johansson’s complaint is that when OpenAI reached out to her for voice acting and she turned them down, that they instead got a Scarlett Johansson type

Agreed, and according to Midler v. Ford that is not permitted:

"We hold only that when a distinctive voice of a professional singer is widely known and is deliberately imitated in order to sell a product, the sellers have appropriated what is not theirs and have committed a tort in California."
I can only tell you my experience as a newcomer to PostHog last year. I went to try it out, and visited the documentation to figure out how to get it up and running. The documentation sent a very clear message of “You’d be a fucking idiot to put this into production. The open-source version is pathetic and can’t handle real traffic. Pay us.”. This immediately killed all interest I had in PostHog and I didn’t go any further. Your open-source version doesn’t have to scale indefinitely, but if you can’t stand behind your open-source version at all, I don’t trust your commercial version at all either. A closed-source product is preferable to an open-source product where the maintainers strongly warn people not to use it.

I was surprised that disabling SMT has improved by a few percents the Geekbench 6 multi-threaded results on a Zen 3 (5900X) CPU.

While there are also other tasks where SMT does not bring advantages, for the compilation of a big software project SMT does bring an obvious performance improvement, of about 20% for the same Zen 3 CPU.

In any case, Intel has said that they have designed 2 versions of the Lion Cove core, one without SMT for laptop/desktop hybrid CPUs and one with SMT for server CPUs with P cores (i.e. for the successor of Granite Rapids, which will be launched later this year, using P-cores similar to those of Meteor Lake).
Current AI is for productivity boost, not to replace. And automation of certain use cases, but not all. It is already really good at those things.

Up four comments in the chain we're replying and you get:

> Well, birth rates are below replacement rates in most western countries where pornography is consumed more than elsewhere. Also, more people are single, more men are not sexually active, high divorce rates, etc.

The implication is that porn is hindering the replacement rate of a population.

This gets into various other dog whistles (if you poke at dead comments you'll find even more overt ones). https://icsr.info/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ICSR-Report-Sle...

If you have external antennas you can (or at least could) actually try this. Having the RAM just behind the antennas (by holding them in an open case) with a clear line of sight to the router produced significantly worse results than moving the antenna 30cm in either direction.

I can't remember which WiFi generation I was testing this with but I remember seeing something like a 40% reduction, worst case.
Unrelated to the camera. But couldn't you add a long cable to a place where you can change a battery occasionally? Or use an external solar rechargeable battery pack?
It usually makes sense to have a slew of tests formally defined and to write a test that functionally checks every subsystem. If you don't test, Murphy ensures you always make errors before ordering next revision boards. Rushing never helps. Assumptions always fail. Hardware's very unforgiving coming from software, just because our brains are too impatient and we feel it's OK to cowboy all the time.

For most of my boards I wound up writing a bunch of tests that automate current readings across different power rails while stepping boards through different states. This verifies that subsystems are moving approximately how I expect them to move without having to make too much of a manual test, and allowing full validation of remote control round trips. Really makes proper testing easier.

For a camera, having an LED rig on your test jig to check pixels move in the right direction when lit in different colors would be a reasonable approach.

Cool fix though... at least until the components age and the net properties shift subtly...
Kana would be slightly easier to read if we spent as much time reading in Kana as we have in Kanji.

Hangul has some funny rules around patchim that need to be memorized. Kana does a great job avoiding this, so on balance kana is probably just fine compared to Hangul.
I am Italian and whenever I go to Spain I usually don't really need to speak English because the languages are close enough that you can go by by just knowing a handful of basic words (and the Spaniards I meet usually prefer it that way). This is both a blessing and a curse; all Italians I met living in Spain (and viceversa, all Spanish-speakers I met in Italy) tend to have a hard time learning the other language "properly" because the threshold for being understood is extremely low. If, perchance, someone speaks an Italian with Spanish grammar, people will still understand you perfectly.

Given that Castillan and Portuguese are even closer (both Western Romance, part of a linguistic continuum, ...) I find it very hard to believe that honestly. I am only familiar with the European variants, thought. Maybe the issues you faced are due to how the Latin American variants have diverged significantly over the years?

> (although i suspect in some cases the friction is intentional)

I've worked on the first digital forms for NAV in Norway, which handles parental leave, sick leave, when you've lost your job etc.

We didn't want friction. People have a right to this help and money, and making people self served is a win for all:

- around 90 % of submitted paper forms had some kind of error, which the case worker would have to fix while entering the form manually into the case system. Often had to contact the client and spend so much time on things not giving value.

- people would have to contact case workes constantly, because the forms were made by lawyers. "If you filled in 16a you also need to fill in 46ac and 47f" would give a huge tree of possibilities most people couldn't navigate.

- making the form digital, we could conditionally show the correct parts. We could pull in data from other systems and prefill parts (like your employer, registered kids, address)

- the first version we actually just sent to a printer and someone would print and mail all digital forms so the case workers still would have to do much of the manual typing, but at least we quickly made it easier for the clients.

- then later when the case systems were ready we could instead push some xml directly instead of mailing paper. The clients didn't notice a difference. But this to say that we really tried making their lives easier even before everything else was in place.

- the core is that we want the case workers to do less of the useless things, and spend their time doing the valuable things.

- the first digital version of the parental leave form was basically what we kall "strøm på papir" or "electrical powered paper". While it was digital and easier to use, it didn't solve all issues with the paper form, as it still contained all questions and was huge. Then it was a lot of work, political, with lawyers, even law makers, if the next version could be better. Is there things we could stop asking for? Could the law be streamlined and edge cases removed? Etc. All to make it so that the common 95 % don't have to be confused and have to read and understand lots of stuff only relevant to a small minority.

I don't share this concern. You can easily write Python, Typescript and C++ in S-expression format since you're basically writing an AST, that's the whole point. Conversion between one and the other is... maybe not trivial, but certainly not rocket science.

> I've seen a lot of critical fuckups in my years, but I have yet to see someone fuck up everything by using a woefully unsuitable algorithm.

This bears repeating. With the exception of very niche applications, such as AAA games and scientific computing, the only realistic impact of picking a sub-optimal algorithm is slightly higher CPU utilization rates and background tasks taking a bit longer to finish.

This means the outcome of all this song and dance amounts at month to a few dollars per month.

Knuth mentioned something about premature optimization.
For the author, FYI: I'm running regular Firefox on regular Windows 10. When I open your site link here and first press tab, I do not get a popup for "skip to main content". Instead, it skips the header links entirely and jumps immediately to the hashtag section marker -- not for the first hashtag marker section at the title text, but at the next one labeled "Background". I loaded the site afresh in new tabs and this behavior repeated each time.

When I navigated to the other example accesibility links you provided (such as Google and Wikipedia), the first tab press did jump first to the "jump to content" link.
Ah so this confirms that it was a joke. Thanks.
> Production of most things started to grow exponentially, that is a revolution.

No, exponential growth is compound interest. By definition not a "revolution" because there is no discontinuity anywhere.

The term "industrial revolution" was invented much later by propagandists, people living at the time certainly didn't see it as such.
Last time I checked I was human too...
Another interpretation is simply that you can only sharpen a knife so many times before there is no longer a knife at all
SEEKING WORK | remote, Stuttgart area, Germany | Python full-stack developer

I've worked for 15 years as a freelance Python/Django developer, in projects both big and small. I've created entire projects myself, including front-end and hosting; and I've integrated in teams in roles ranging from team lead to devops specialist. I have worked with Python, Django, numpy, SQL, JS and Typescript, Angular, Java, C++, Jenkins, k8s, and most everything in-between; in recent years I've started doing work on LLMs and GenAI in general.

If you have an interesting project, email me at j@spielmannsolutions.com and we'll talk!
I would somewhat strongly disagree . Using JavaScript allows for a more interactive interface, where cause and effect are more clearly visible, and where the relationship between answers and further questions is more obvious.

For example, it's common for govt forms to have sections like "fill this part in if you're a resident" and "fill this part in if you're a visitor".

Elsewhere in this thread, auto-saving is mentioned, trivial to do with javascript, (and more privacy respecting to do if using local storage.) The alternative is "one page per question" - which is the slowest way possible to fill out a form (and not inconsequentially puts the highest load on the server.)

JavaScript is part of the web, and offers significant UI and work-flow advantages. Govt (or indeed any site) that eschews it is unnecessarily degrading the experience for the vast majority because some sliver of the audience don't like it.
Give the extreme level at which we understand the basic functioning of the physical world (the Standard Model), yes, absence of evidence for a phenomenon that would contradict this model constitutes evidence of absence of such a phenomenon.

That is, since the only possible known interactions that the brain could pick up are electrical in nature, and given that no external electrical field changes are observed, that constitutes evidence that no external signal is being received by the person. The weak and strong forces don't work at such distances, so they are out of the question, and gravitational waves or neutrinos are far too weak to be detected by our brains, and impossible to make so targeted that only a single individual would receive the signal.

Now, is it conceivable that a different fundamental interaction that mammalian brains can detect but that none of our experiments have ever found could exist? Yes, but it is so extraordinarily unlikely that it can be dismissed out of hand, absent any proof. And the memories of people experiencing hallucinations are certainly not proof.

I don't use xubuntu, but I don't think so. I don't see how xubuntu wouldn't be affected since this is a GTK+ issue. Starting any CSD application in Xfce will behave and look out of place and unfortunately, even some Xfce applications and tools used CSD (perhaps some still do).
How would that empower democracies more than authoritative regimes? The technologies you mention are means of control, and are used as such. Secure computing doesn't help you when the regime owns the keys (or can coerce them out of the vendor).

I may very much be wrong about it, but intuition and experience tells me that means of control usually empower authoritarian parties first and foremost, unless fully owned and operated by individuals - which, in computing, is very much counter the trend and the zeitgeist.

Honestly, I could not. But I can refer you to a perplexity recap. I know LLM content is not allowed, so I'll quote it as a source:

Alan Watts, in his lecture "We as Organism," eloquently explores the interconnectedness of life and consciousness. He likens living beings to the flame of a candle, a continuous flow of energy and activity, rather than static entities. Watts argues that our consciousness often overlooks the constant, harmonious processes of life, focusing instead on potential disruptions. This myopic view leads us to identify with our ego, the troubleshooter, rather than our complete organism. He emphasizes that our bodies, like candle flames or whirlpools, are patterns of the cosmos, ever-changing yet recognizable. Watts challenges the common Western notion of life as a brief flash between two darknesses, urging us to see life as a complex, continuous dance, where there is no dancer, only the dancing.
> I think you're subject to survivorship bias.

I think some people have a trick, and they desperately try to upsell their trick in order to subtly overstate the importance of their skillset. It's very hard to get anyone to be honest about the importance of their contributions when their livelihood depends on it.
I don't care about your story, that's why I only commented on one sentence alone.

If you don't understand why I am talking about that sentence, then ok?

You seem to care a lot about other people knowing your poor employee and employer arrangement is silly. You shouldn't. Dumb people do things through tradition.
Or writing in English can go the other way and become ortophonetic like Italian and Romanian, where each letter denotes a sound and "to", "too" and "two" will become "tu".
Reminds me of when I went on business trip of several weeks to Sweden from California. The Swedes spoke English reasonably well. I then went to Scotland for vacation and had a much harder time understanding their dialect than I did with the Swedes.
> Here in Texas ...

I may be way off here, and happy to be corrected.
My experience is Texas-Spanish is difficult to use in Spain, and would guess the inverse is true. Which I would deduce making Portuguese-Spanish a non-starter in the state.

I know a very limited amount from having grown up and played soccer in the "Mexican" rec leagues in Tx. While traveling to Spain, English is perfectly fine in cities. But days trips to smaller towns/villages they had more trouble understanding my attempts to communicate with the basic texas-spanish I had picked up, than they did the hand gestures and single english word here and there. I understood next to nothing in Portugal (it might as well had been Dutch to my ears; I had no idea until now that they are kinda similar in the way Spanish/Italian is). Of course, this could be that I'm simply horrible at Spanish. But have heard Texas-Spanish is even weird for Baja-California-Spanish speakers.
I am pretty sure that democracies are happily pivot to authoritarian regimes because a lot of people just like to have a single choice they prefer.

Nothing. When you want more throughput, pick a setup with more cores. HT was good (not that good but still good) when the goal was performance per die area, but now we live in the area of performance per watt. Doubly so when looking at laptops, but also in all other areas except perhaps gaming PCs (but even there, throughput at high wattage will eventually lead to throttling).
Yep that’s a good one. My personal favorite is The Great Wall of China, especially the parable within it, A Message from the Emperor.

Hardware. Lots of hardware. The first law of govt sites is insanely high usage, clustered around very specific date and times. The first rule of govt websites is "thou shalt not crash".

For startup folks dreaming of growing a single horn, over provisioning is an indulgence, scaling design an all-too-often vanity.

But govt sites should be designed for insane scale from day 1.
Here in China, linguists consider the different Western "languages" to be dialects, and believe that the Western governments, for political reasons, make people think they speak different languages than their neighbors, so that they cannot unite.

I'm just joking, but what you say is as absurd as my joke. Western linguists don't consider the dialects different languages. If they do, they do it for political reasons. Accept that there are different ways of thinking and the real world never has to submit to how you define concepts like "a language", and not everything China surprises you with has something to do with politics.

Edit: I realized that my joke was closer to reality than parent's comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbo-Croatian
This was spot on and made me laugh.
Rather than MSFT it is just becoming a natural progression - we used to have a lot of various CPU makes in the past too at one point. With ARM now everybody can ship their processors.

Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm + big tech giants like Apple are already producing them, MSFT is also planning to do that. I recall either Google or Facebook wanted too and so on.
I fully agree, the problem is that people approach git the same way they approach all other software tools, which is the wrong approach obviously and people are wrong for doing it. It’s the people who are wrong and not the tool. It’s like people complaining about the new version of Windows, I always tell them “have you even read the series of articles about the theoretical structure of the underlying OS? Before you do that, how can you even complain the user interface is obtuse!?”
yes. that's the game we're told to play, so might as well try to play it. there's literally truckloads of money in AI and the hyperscalers themselves point to power as a major issue for their datacenters, so why not try to allocate some of it to fusion?
End of the unified scheduler is big news, Intel had this since Core. Both AMD and Apple have split the scheduling up for a long time.
The second "explanation" requires a fundamental upending of basic physics research that is confirmed to higher degrees of accuracy than any direct experience we have ever had. The first explanation, while slightly handwavy, perfectly fits all established models of physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience, and psychology.

I think even mentioning the second explanation is entirely splitting hairs. It's like reminding everyone that physics can't rule out that God could have created the world with its apparent 8 billion year history 2 hours ago.
No. Why should anyone avoid discussing what happened?

We can all see with our own eyes how much GNOME cares about collaboration and interoperability with others. It's zero. It's been this way for a very, very long time. And that disdain for everyone else has consequences.

I used to develop GTK+ applications. I no longer do. Because it was an absolutely miserable experience, working with a toolkit which repeatedly requires every application developer to down tools and do a lot of busy work rewriting perfectly working code when APIs are changed or deleted. No other GUI toolkit causes so much pain and disruption to their userbase. It's quite clear that there is no regard for the actual needs of real application developers, and people like yourself aren't helping. You can't defend the indefensible.
OK, what happens is a DOMException with the message "Failed to execute 'querySelectorAll' on 'Element': '\\\f' is not a valid selector."
