What's the difference between arbitrary large and infinite? Would you say the number of possible Turing computable functions is merely arbitrary large and not actually infinite?
I'm not from Poland, but they probably have prices similar to ours ... data plans are cheap, you have credit cards with offers for zero interest plans over 12 or 24 months, and the mobile carriers are unable to offer discounts like the used to, not to mention that exclusivity deals for devices are not a thing here.

So why in the world would people still buy phones from their mobile carriers?
> I was naive. Knew much more about math and computing than people and personality.

Do you think not learning math would have helped you understand people at a younger age? It sounds like you just needed time to grow socially and in practicality. For most people on this forum, that’s a challenge regardless.
I was talking about the default button (typically blue, activated with enter), not the currently focused button (outlined, space).
Stolen voices matter because what's being stolen here is the authors likeness, his reputation that he's build in the YouTube tech space and used for commercial products he had already reviewed. They chose exactly his voice for that reason.

While AI voices will aesthetically be indistinguishable or even preferable they aren't going to carry any reputation or authenticity, which by definition is scarce and therefore valuable. In fact they're likely going to matter more because in a sea of generic commodified slop demand for people who command unique brand value goes up, not down. That's why influencers make the big bucks in advertising these days.
Your dry eye condition is probably way too severe for this to help, but here is a method that helps my eyes stay more healthy the more I stare into the PC screen:

Eye exercises!

Eye tissue is very suspectable to drying and eyes are fed with only one small artery.

This makes simple exercises super effective!

To enforce a routine I use 'safeeyes' on Linux. A mac alternative is EyeLeo (haven't tested). If you have a windows one, please share!

I change settings to have a break every 10 minutes for 15 seconds. Today I'll add a new exercise to do the focus shifting exercise¹, because your dry eye scared me.

It's funny, but in the weeks when I'm not using PC and don't remember to exercise eyes without prompting, I can feel my eyesight degrading and my eyes hurt.

P.S. if you've never trained your eyes, it will hurt the first few time, but it's the good pain, like from stretching. Don't overdo anyway!

¹ focus shifting exercise - taken from Huberman Lab episode on eyesight and preventing myopia: you put a thumb in front of your eyes and focus on it. Then you slowly extend your arm forward, keeping the focus on it. After your arm is stretched, you switch focus to something as close to you as your extended arm and slowly move to different objects (or trace a wall or ground), changing objects when required, until you reach horizon (or furthest possible point). Then you trace back and end up moving your thumb towards your face again. One very good exercise that is missing from safeeyes.

What does this suppose to prove? The OP said "very few" not none. Of course there will be a few anecdotes of overlap.

A better way would be to compare the size of Stack Exchange boards at https://stackexchange.com/sites . It's not perfect but it's as good as it can get. Stack Overflow has 26 million users. Woodworking has 17 thousand. A fraction.

Further still, not every woodworker will use a belt sander. It's used for a specific purpose (large flat surfaces) and it's not a beginner's tool. So the fraction gets smaller. I'd say the assumption stands.

What? A Turing machine can literally be built. The only problem is supplying the infinite tape, or splicing on more when it runs to the end of a finite tape.

Machines that address storage using fixed width pointers (and have no other kind of storage) cannot be Turing machines.
The copyright hell carries on it looks like.
A computer with external connectivity to a tape machine capable of reading and writing a symbols and moving along the tape would qualify as a Turing machine, provided someone feeds it enough tape for any problem that's thrown at it.

Software as a public good
I can think of 50 things which would make the project I'm on faster, better and more secure but the business is not particularly interested in them right now.

The business wants its stated requirements met (plus a short list of key non-functionals) while minimising cost. Performance is not even specified. I don't think there's any "lost knowledge" involved in this particular case, they just don't want to pay me to make it better than it needs to be.

Doing my job well means minimising the time (and by implication the attention and effort) I put in to the software.

This seems quite directly opposed to the artisanal ethos.
Slightly OT, but as someone who escaped poverty this is the type of volunteering that is super helpful and makes a huge difference. A quick Google search doesn't turn up anything like this in my local area, do you have any pointers on starting/finding a program like this to contribute to?

I mean... the statement that it's likely that there's a superintelligent cosmic host is not supported by any sort of evidence whatsoever?

Simply looking at the laws of physics would kill this idea. Just compare the latency of communication within a human brain or an NVIDIA H100 with latency of communication between one star system and the next.

If galaxies could think, it would take billions of years to come up with even a coherent sentence... beyond the known age of the universe.
There is a system wide setting that changes all non-Unicode text encoding to another code page e.g CP932 for Shift-JIS. Third party tools are available to do the same conversion on a per application basis.

It’s not as bad as trying to load some really old CJK web pages on mobile devices: few mobile browser has an accessible option to select character encoding and there appears to be none on iOS. The only option is to change the system language and that didn’t always work for more obscure character codes.
My bad. Looks like it’s $29k at the local store.
He owns a competitor, Wordpress.com.

That said, his point is valid. WPEngine is one of the most expensive hosts in the industry yet they meddle with the behavior of WP as well as the underlying PHP and web server and disable a lot of things. Anyone who would like to build a website on WPEngine is advised to read:

https://wpengine.com/support/platform-settings/

And that's just the stuff they admit to.

The revisions being pulled out are the most egregious I would say. Revisions are an insanely important feature for some publishers, we've had enterprise customers who had to fight tooth and nail to get this turned back on and paid an arm and a leg for it, this would not have been a problem on any other WP host I'm aware of.

Their 'long query governor' can be very frustrating and in my experience, contrary to this document it cannot be fully disabled.

All these restrictions have crept in over the last few years. WP Engine pulled the usual trick of finding ways to lock people in, and then reducing service to increase margins.
Key point: Instead of providing a pat answer or suggested solution, the best advice encourages deeper thinking by sharing a framework for analysis and by sharing data to use with the framework.
That's been my experience as well, glad I wasn't the only one to notice.

In my country there's a lot of dubbing, that are some dubbing actors who millions of people grew up listening to them on animes and the like, I could see companies buying their voices, because in that situation is not only about being pleasant, but a lot about familiarity. ElevenLabs, for instance, bought some voice rights from deceased people from their estate.

But aside this nostalgic-ish specific context, I don't see why wouldn't they just create a synthetic voice to begin with it.
The funny thing is that the 4004 was used in emulation from pretty much it's beginning. It was used to make a calculator, the Busicom 141-PF. But the calculator couldn't be programmed in 4004 directly. 4004 ran virtual machine. The calculator was written in the virtual instruction set for this machine.

A chip like the 4004 could be used in some simple embedded applications using its instruction set directly. But that calculator was the original application was developed for. Already that was too complicated, not unlike, say, booting Linux.
Human voices store shared accent data too not just biometrics, your siblings/twins/sorority sisters likely present with extremely similar voices which can cause the same confusion as AI clones. is it most famous sibling first gets the copyright or are siblings the only ones with the power to supersede it or must they alter their voice? Simple voice never really was guaranteed to be a unique part of identity since it changes so easily over time and ages.
Cool then you can do it and waste your time. I already told you why, but if you want to find out go ahead. It’s only worth it maybe if someone is a total noob and needs experience. But even then they’re better off applying to a better off company and getting it, and then starting their own company.

And you think there will be less commitment as a founding engineer? You’re getting 1% equity on a scheduled vesting and you are the one who will build all the tech.

I mean you could restrict yourself to only a single medium, independent of what the rest of the world is doing; or you can learn to process information efficiently regardless of medium and respect each medium for its own strengths and weaknesses. A good YouTube video produced perfectly needs none of the “hacks” I listed above and will relay far more information on complex subject matter in context than just an essay will, but people are more comfortable writing will write and people who want to make videos will make videos.

TikZ has a steep learning curve and felt so convoluted when I tried to use it.
Exactly. If it was a brand of pen ink cartridges or dishwasher detergent, that's one thing (still would be wrong, but not as egregious, and I might never have known it happened).

The fact is, Elecrow's a company I've worked with in the past (never signed any contracts, but reviewed a product of theirs 4 years ago that they provided). They're active in the exact same space my YouTube audience is (Pi, microcontrollers, hobby electronics, homelab).

There are a number of potential Elecrow customers who also subscribe to my YouTube channel (one of them alerted me to the tutorial series, in fact), and I would rather not have people be confused thinking I've sold my likeness or voice to be used for corporate product tutorials.

Especially any competitors to Elecrow, who I may have a relationship with, that could be soured if they think I'm suddenly selling my voice/online persona for Elecrow's use.

> This IP/copyright mentality is so 90s/2000s. Brings back memories of Napster.

The trend has been going against copyright ever since internet was invented. We used to go for passive consumption - radio, TV, books, print magazines. But now that age has passed. We have changed. We prefer interactivity - games, social networks, web searching the billions of contents online, youtube clips commented and shared around. In this age copying is like speaking.

Now comes AI and pushes this trend even deeper - more interactive, more remixing and adapted to the user. We should take a hint - the idea of owning content doesn't make sense anymore. Any content can be recreated in seconds now, or similar content was already posted online years ago. Protecting expression is useless and protecting styles would destroy creativity. Quite a catch-22.

We should take a look instead at new models that popped up in the last decades - open source, creative commons, Wikipedia, open scientific publication. Maybe we need to decouple attribution from payment, like scientific papers, they cite each other without monetary obligations. In social networks comments respond to each other, it would not work if we had to pay to read. Even in real life, people don't pay to hear others speak, and are reusing ideas without issue.

I am aware this sounds bad for copyright, but I am trying to state the reality, not propose my own views. There are deep reasons we prefer interactivity to passive consumption. Copyright was fit for a different age.
Again: this literally only matters currently in people trying to steal a voice.

There's already VTubers who's whole visual identity is synthetic. Why wouldn't the same happen in any other space where performance can affect the perception of content, but you can now simply engineer the performance?

Like I said: give it 5 years and you'll have influencers who no one has ever heard the voice of, because they don't make content with their own.
> "It's not good enough for a competitor to Google's search engine to be 30% better, it needs to be 10x better in order to compete."

This may be so, but there is no competition that's even 10% better than Google.

Competition may win on some non-functional requirements, such as privacy (hardly), or UI controls (e.g., silencing certain domains), but that pales in comparison with Google's local search results. And most competition people talk about are just shells around Bing. There are very few independent, general purpose search engines, i.e., Yandex, Baidu, Brave Search. And Google is still the best.

And yes, Google's index has been going to shit, due to all the SEO spam and the content farms, but so has everyone else.

You made an assertion. Show me the Google competitor that's 30% better and you may have a point. There are none, so the market may be more rational than you give it credit for ;-)
More and more I am starting to wish I had gone ahead with the novel I had sketched out in the 1990s. The backdrop was a kind of post-imitative-AI collapse of trust in society, because it had become effortless to fake up, say, your least favorite political candidate talking about the merits of eating babies, so the various echo chambers bore a kind of ghastly fruit, each stance finding its own "evidence" for its beliefs, right down to the flat earth types. Paranoia runs rampant, and so on.

It looks like we're heading in that direction.
Your analogy with the apples is an oversimplification of what is going on that misses an important aspect of the system: the measurements aren't independent. The type of measurement you do effect the result of the measurement your friend does.
Calculating φ from its continued-fraction expansion is equivalent to just iterating the Fibonacci sequence normally, since its convergents are precisely the ratios between the Fibonacci numbers. At that point, it's totally redundant to use Binet's formula on the approximation, since you have the values already!

If you want to beat the O(n^2) runtime of the trivial iteration, you pretty much have to use Newton's method for φ, exponentiation by squaring on the matrix form, or another method with faster-than-linear convergence.
Nope. That producer packs it in solid. Yes, it could be more dense, but at the expense of it being watchable by most people.

This is a case of just because one can does not mean one should.

Having an audience matters. It matters more than optimal info density does. Besides, just watch it at 2x. With this producer doing that is challenging. Pay attention!

:)
I am not convinced that it will be even 5 years. Have you tested elevenlabs[1]?

They offer different voice cloning techniques today, starting from 30 seconds of audio input (sounds somewhat like the cloned voice but definitely not exactly the same) to multiple hours of voice input (sounds like the actual person). In addition, you can adjust the voices with a few parameters or simply create one by defining parameters.

The voice from the video could be an 'instantly cloned' voice based on a few seconds of voice input (judging from the quality). If you want to do y more advanced clone, you have to proof that it is your own voice.

GP isn't claiming deployed is incorrect.
But my intuition is that it needs to (well, should) introduce a new variable in order to store the evaluation of dir, otherwise it gets evaluated twice. If (foo bar) has no side-effects, that’s just a performance loss, but if it does it’s probably behaving in unexpected ways.

These arguments (for any language) are pretty lacking. That you can do it isn't important - the majority culture is the deciding factor - since every internet resource, every package, every support forum is going to follow the majority culture. So not following it simply adds friction. It makes way more sense to choose something where the majority culture makes sense for you, assuming it exists.

All omega-3 supplements are probably somewhat rancid and possibly harmful, specially in solid / pill form! I personally take cod liver oil (liquid) from a reputable brand, but I still don't %100 trust it to be healthy. It's much better to eat fatty fish or actual cod liver.
My thoughts were posted in Mastodon: https://chaos.social/@ChuckMcManis/112429390169387783 but the TL;DR is that writing code adds value, and that value will be realized by people who take it for free, even if you don't want them to. From my perspective (not saying its the right one, just one that I've reasoned to) that is theft.
> many statistics packages provide only weak text editor functionality

RStudio IDE with vim keybindings gives an extremely nice developer experience when working with R. There are only a few minor imperfections [1, 2, 3]. I'd still rate it a 9.5/10 dev experience.

I've recently been experimenting with R + neovim + vim-slime. It's not perfect but also a very nice experience. It enables interactive use of R but with the full power of neovim.

[1] control + 1 and control + 2 to switch between editor and console (pressing them in a hurry requires finger gymnastics)

[2] while vim keybindings work in the script pane, they don't work in the console

[3] about once per day for reasons I can't explain, RStudio's vim keybindings don't do what they should do (e.g. a key press is ignored)
