Because people don't generally build from the ground up like they're selling fake IDs and cocaine on the darknet. They have no experience, and no understanding on how normal everyday choices and behaviors leave trails which track back to them. When they register a domain, did they use false info? Payment cards well detached from their identities? Do they post code to GitHub with accounts tied to their personal e-mail addresses? Does any normal person sit down like me and think about the ways their true identity can be discovered? "LOL no I'm not selling drugs or snuff so I have nothing to hide nothing to fear! :^)" is the chorus most recited. Ergo, when MPAA lawyers come knocking, they got the dox and they got men with submachine guns and badges on speed dial.

No. The original complaint blamed Apple because kids bully each other. If you think kids bully each other because of the color of a message bubble then you don't understand kids. The idea that the problem would be solved by the feature being graphically different is laughably naive. Suppose that Apple made it so that encrypted and unencrypted messages were indistinguishable. Do you honestly think that would result in a net reduction in bullying? Because I think bullies just latch onto any reason they can to torment their victims.

yes. Otherwise you'd have no interest in having bodycams working. And in military in many situations it is pretty typical that de-facto one is guilty until proven innocent, so no new approach here.
Can you clarify what you mean by "housed in entirely separate sections"?

Because housing is separated (male barracks, female barracks for E-1 thru E-3 exactly with minor exceptions) throughout the military. But are you saying basically have a male section of the base and female section of the base?

And how would this prevent sexual assaults?
Silicon Valley compensation in India and LatAm is broadly in line with US median for all software developers ($120k ish). It's not dramatically cheaper in absolute terms than the US low/medium cost of living markets. The idea is that it gets you the best of the best in India, vs. middle of the road in the US.
Yes. Before brokerages were part of banks, cash in a brokerage account was usually stored in a money-market fund, with whatever interest money market funds were paying. Once merging with a bank, cash was swept into an in-house bank account.

This didn't matter much when money market funds were paying near zero interest.
But the zero interest rate era is over. Except for demand deposits in banks, which pay well below money market rates. Often near zero.

That's what's going on here.

It's a conflict of interest created by the end of Glass-Stegall, which kept brokerages and banks apart.
Outdated, they already fixed it. There are other HN posts covering this
I'm sorry, I'm still not following. Yes, Medicare spending is a huge component of total federal spending because Medicare has lots of beneficiaries. But that's true of schools and transportation and, yes, military (which is dominated by opex).
Well, technically those might be negative spending to the extent that they are arms sales not offset by any subsidy or aid. Certainly, the cost of disposal for many of the older shells would have been higher than sending them off to Ukraine has been.

Even the M4/M16 5.56 (223 cal) is now being replaced with the XM7 using 6.68mm ammo so that will all also have to be disposed of too (likely with the weapons). I don't want them on the streets here, and I'm not sure some wouldn't come back wherever in the world they're sent.

Arguing whether sending weapons to a government and if it is justified is a reasonable conversation, but trying to claim they are particularly expensive (when they aren't) dilutes that point. Further, NASA's military work is paid for from the defense (or black) budgets not the publicly available ones so I'm not sure that's a great argument either.
There might not be an external perspective, just someone else’s internal perspective of the external.

Not sure if is the same, but I noticed that account interest rates that went down when the reserve rates went down didn't go back up. We opened up accounts for our kids at a local credit union that had close to 0% interest. Fast forward 2 years and the rates are just as bad or worse. Savings accounts are 0.25% compared to >4% at other credit unions.

This reminds me of some good practices I've learned from implementing GTD principals. Even with my massive GTD-style lists, which I love, having a small paper list for that day, even if it repeats what's on the massive digital list, is a very nice focus function.

Also helpful is to have a list of no more than 3 weekly priorities. When I don't know what to focus on, I often look at those. They are most effective when I'm actually doing my weekly review. Also a practice that's so helpful and freeing.

>the actual realities of dumping a bunch of 18-22 year olds together when a significant minority of them are from extremely dysfunctional backgrounds[...]

This is either really sad or maybe I'm just naive?

Since when is the "reality" of putting 18-22 year olds together (dysfunctional background and high school completion or not) sexual assault?

I remember being 18-22, coming from a fairly dysfunctional background, and yet I managed to never sexually assault anyone. Even when I was in co-ed housing!

Am I missing where in the article is mentioning AI? I can't find any instances of "AI", "Artificial", or "generated". This seems like a particularly editorialized title.
It passes the test you've proposed. For the below results, the prompt is the same for A and B, except for in B the radius of the last circle is twice as big to make the rendered output unintelligible.

Frankly, your pricing also sucks. What you are telling me now is that to go from "testing" to "production", it is $37->$500.

I then click "Select" on $500 and it takes me to another page that is even more confusing. It lists a whole bunch more prices, no $500 price anymore and I have to go through the whole comparison again.

None of this makes any sense. I'd go back to the drawing board. It is pretty astounding that this feedback hasn't been conveyed or managed before. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into what is presented and it really sets the tone for what working with your business would be like.
>Somebody please tell me what I'm missing because I must be making a serious logical mistake.

authority (and corresponding victim helplessness and defenselessness) breeds sexual assault and harassment. Military is by far among the most authoritarian institutions (only prison probably beats it by a thin margin).
Agreed. Free markets is such a massive misnomer.

The only thing that matters is competitive markets.

“Free markets” is typically associated with regulatory capture, buying out your competitors, and abusing your monopoly status to thwart others.

Governments should care about competition, not that abusive corporations stay at the top.

I don't see how this is linked to AI.

The article doesn't mention AI at all. We know that the number of books being released has exploded in general due to AI, but are those books also being released in audiobook form? Or is this increase due somehow to the use of AI in audiobook recording?

The article does hint at this - with some of the top authors recording hundreds of books - so maybe these folks have used AI to clone their voices and fast track the process?

Personally, I think AI has great potential here, even if only to fill in the gaps. Older, less loved books aren't recorded.

Additionally, there are several narrators that simply grate on my ears, or who my brain has simply learned to tune out, and it would be nice to have an option to switch to a (lower quality) AI version.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. That part is continuing the thought process I started in the first paragraph, not responding directly to OP. Let me rephrase that, thanks!

> self proclaimed conscious entity

Well, I do not proclaim consciousness: only the subjective feeling of consciousness. I really 'feel' conscious: but I can't prove or 'know' that in fact I am 'conscious' and making choices... to be conscious is to 'make choices'... Instead of just obeying the rules of chemistry and physics... which YOU HAVE TO BREAK in order to be conscious at all (how can you make a choice at all if you are fully obeying the rules of chemistry {which have no choice}).

A choice does not apply to chemistry or physics: from where does choice come from - I suspect from our fantasies and nothing from objective reality (for I do not see humans consistently breaking the way chemistry works in their brains) - it probably comes from nowhere.

If you can explain the lack of choice available in chemistry first (and how that doesn't interfere with us being able to make a choice): then I'll entertain the idea that we are conscious creatures. But if choice doesn't exist at the chemical level, it can't magically emerge from following deterministic rules. And chemistry is deterministic not probabilistic (h2 + o doesn't magically make neon ever, or 2 water molecules instead of one).

In an educational setting the plagiarism tools are probably most wanted by lecturers, but least useful. Do they teach every individual differently? If not, then there is not much surprise, if elementary ideas are expressed in very similar ways. So some cases of very similar solutions are bound to happen, hopefully not throwing shadow without proof of plagiarism.
Sounds so much like an io_uring model.
> Maybe: there is no measurable difference between 'real' reasoning, and 'fake' reasoning.

The point is, it's easier to teach an LLM to fake it than to make it - for example, they get good at answering questions that overlap with their training data set long before they start generalizing.

So on some epistemological level, your point is worth pondering; but more simply, it actually matters if an LLM has learned to game a benchmark vs approximate human cognition. If it's the former, it might fail in weird ways when we least expect it.

> unlike you I believe that the median United States citizen does benefit from our global military supremacy

Oh no I agree with this. I think the cost/benefit ratio is going up, but it's still less than one. I just happen to think that exporting 2x misery abroad to alleviate x misery here is not a viable long-term strategy. Moreover, I think it's hideous to celebrate it as though you're getting some great deal, even if you do get material benefits from the arrangement.

> That's not a normative claim!

You should try making some. Or at least think about them.
Fair, I definitely editorialized a bit. It just seemed like an obvious reason to me, but perhaps I am guessing a bit too much at the causes?
I largely agree with this article, though I think the point about being aware of your own choice nodes is really important here.

> Learn how to identify the moments when your mind is readily responding to your will.

In my personal experience, these awareness moments tend to occur in small and inconsistent bubbles of time. Even though the article says the choices occur when I launch Civilization or not, that act of launching can also be pretty automatic for me. Additionally, we can't entirely disconnect ourselves from these vices -- like uninstalling a game or blocking a website -- without significant mental resistance that ends up bringing back the vice.

So how do we create more of those moments of choice?

A technique that I've heard of: whenever you find the mental opportunity, you simply try to be acutely aware of every action you take during the habit. You don't even have to stop the habit at all, you're just being hyper aware of every stimuli and every movement you take while doing it. The action of clicking the icon, clicking the play button, scrolling through menus, your posture.

I tried the above strategy to junk food. I tasted the saltiness and goodness of each chip, but I also tried to acutely focus of the emptiness and disgust after it, how temporary the senses all were. I genuinely think that repeatedly practicing the above allowed me to significantly decrease my consumption, and I'd like to know if anyone else ever did the above and found success or not with it.
> Sort of, but... not really? In my experience, more resources means more polish and more scale. It's the usual 80/20 problem: with a small team you can get to 80%, but the last 20% bogs you down forever. Certainly large teams come with their own problems, but that last 20% is hard.

Consider this: AAPL is valued at 3.4 trillion USD. Both the polish and breadth of their software took a nose dive compared to early 2000s. There’s no more Aperture, Logic, Final Cut, Shake…

The US has 46.1 million immigrants, while the EU has 27.3 million. Hardly the "barely accepts anyone", don't you think?

Yeah, I see your knowledge of Europe is 0. We have 24 official languages, how many do you have?
When I've been in low periods in terms of anxiety or mood, externalizing seems to be a salve. When I look back at how I've externalized in those periods, it seems excessive. It's like my executive functioning is no where in sight, and I can see that in how much I had to externalize to get a handle on things. But those periods of parity do return.

It's great to hear you've found methods that work for you. Voice-memos must feel lower friction than writing things out.

> No shit! That's because the integration happened based solely on ideological and political terms, as opposed to happening in order to improve the quality of the corps.

You could exclude anyone born on monday through wednesday and it wouldn't have a big impact on quality.

But getting rid of that exclusion for ideological reasons would be a good thing. It's a stupid exclusion.

If a very big exclusion doesn't have a very big reason to exist, then the reason to get rid of it doesn't need to be huge either.

> Nobody wants to admit that women may have different needs, or worse, abilities, than men lest they be called sexist and lose their political power.

> God forbid men and women actually have differences

I don't see how these differences have anything to do with the problem here. An all-woman group would probably have similar rates to an all-male group.

And most of the differences only exist in statistical form. Individual people have individual abilities and should be sorted based on their own scores.
>I've heard it put this way: Why would Stanford reject 95% of the people who want to pay them full tuition for the education?

Do they though, or do a lot of people apply to big name schools hoping to have that acceptance for cachet and not actually care about attending or even have the ability to attend for financial or other reasons?

>So Stanford/MIT granting degrees to anyone that studies open source material will never happen because that dillution destroys most of the value proposition

Presumably it wouldn't happen regardless because not enough people would actually pass the exams anyway.
Show HN: Audiomatic – dubbed translations for videos preserving voice and tone
Hey, I’m Lynn. My friends and I spent this summer building Audiomatic, an automated video dubbed translation service. You can try it out free on our website (no credit card, but you’ll need a verified email).

Audiomatic preserves the original voice and tone when translating. We can translate videos from nearly any language, into videos using seven common languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. We support videos with multiple speakers, and generate captions for translated videos.

Optionally, you can upload your own captions file to use (either in the original language, or in the language you’re translating to), and you can also choose to remove background noise.

imgui is a general approach to designing gui libraries proposed by casey muratori in 02005 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1qyvQsjK5Y; the particular library in question is omar cornut's 'dear imgui'

a gui that would use 100% of cpu on an 0.52-mips mac 512 https://netlib.org/performance/html/dhrystone.data.col0.html would probably use about 0.02% of cpu on one 2201-mips core of a raspberry pi 3 https://netlib.org/performance/html/dhrystone.data.col0.html

if you pessimistically multiply that by 32 to account for having 32 bits per pixel instead of 1, and by 12 to account for 1920×1080 instead of 512×342, it comes to 9%. of one of the cores! also it would run in 0.5% of the pi's ram

so, to a significant extent, the struggle is no longer to get something approximating your desired user interface running, but to imagine a user interface that's worth people's time to use. so it makes sense to trade off cpu consumption and ram usage for faster experimentation in a lot of cases
