Wouldn't be new though, entertainment companies are already exploring AI subtitles; and official anime subtitles can be a trainwreck too.

> Many anime fans were concerned about the low-quality subtitles in The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons' debut episode, leading some to believe that they had been generated by A.I. These subtitles were notoriously awkward -- occasionally to the point of being nonsensical -- and featured numerous grammar issues; Crunchyroll was forced to delete the episode following outrage by fans on social media, with many asking why they didn't pay professionals to do a better job.

The Berlin scene is partly very touristy, what is also good for the city (and sad to let the clubs go), but please also don't underrate it - there are still so many clubs, you just need to find your more undergroundy experience ;) As a tourist, of course, you are also part of the problem, but also well welcome. Every "hype" is not true and show quickly symptoms, and everything was always better back in time, but there is still a lot of reason for Berlin ;)
Given modern mirrorless cameras can detect and track humans or mammals using DSPs and NNs without any discernible battery penalty at 30/60/120/240FPS (depending on camera class), I think they can do it with very small and efficient models with some frequency clamping and downsampling.

Initial versions will be more power hungry, but it'll be negligible at the end, given that modern processors have accelerators for image and voice based AI applications.

we had this ~10 years ago where I was also the aforementioned IT guy for on-offboarding, doing whatever needs to be done for marketing, to set one more TXT record, to add one more email alias, to host one more PDF file, and so on.

because this is typical when you are at the size that you have a lot of SaaS subscriptions and you need to manage them, but still way too small to have institutional muscle memory (with semi-dedicated long-hauler folks, proper enterprise accounts with good separation of concerns/controls).
Problem with this one is the quality is horrible, especially, if the language is not English. Sometime, completely wrong.
I think people chose to interpret that more lasciviously than it was.

I personally factored 512 bit numbers in 2007 for a lot less than $8, so tbh I'm going to say your overestimation of your knowledge of cryptology is far more hilarious than my paranoia about the potential truth of claims made by people claiming to be experts in cryoptology.

Your claim that factoring a 256bit number would cost fractions of a cent rather than my claim of roughly $3 is also very easily verifiable.

Further I'll note you sound exactly like the kind of person insisting diffie hillman was a good key exchange mechanism prior to Snowdens disclosures. good luck with that.

In 2019 I bought a 2GB Pi4 from an approved seller for £44, which is about £56 in today's money. The 4GB Pi5 now sells for £57 from that same seller (the 2GB Pi4 sells for £42, or £32 in 2019's money)

I wonder if there could be an option to share the generated ai subtitiles so there is no duplicate effort. For example Movie_torrent.vlc subs can be shared on some other users machine with the same Movie_torrent.vlc file.

Obv you can find majority of subs online for popular files but niche cases usually have low subs available and sharing AI could help the ecosystem.
Would it still make sense to use a raspberry pi over an x86 mini PC in those cases, economic and performance wise?

AI subtitle generation seems like a useful feature. Hopefully they'll integrate with a subtitle sharing service so we don't have computers repeatedly duplicating work.

In the ideal case you'd probably generate a first pass of subtitles with AI, have a human review and tweak it as needed, and then share that. There's no reason for people to be repeatedly generating their own subtitles in most cases.

It's the ups and downs from believing those ideas that people live for. They're all chasing a feeling, which is the basis of all addiction.
My first thought was that the guy sounded like an asshole too.
Already happened last year, both with fansubs and official releases - Nokotan springs to mind. It was indeed a trainwreck. Although having it done real time should also be funny.
"Plan" feels like it is doing some heavy lifting here. As Mike Tyson once noted, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

The reason for tiny windows is more technical. Windows are weak, expensive, offer poor insulation, privacy and security. Modern techniques mitigate this problem: better structure allows for less reliance on walls for support and therefore more room for windows, mass production make them cheaper, double pane glass improve insulation, security and privacy can be dealt with large motorized rolling shutters.

I don't believe the lack of sunlight is the reason for vivid colors of the past. If anything, the colors were darker, though more saturated. Also, while tiny windows did not allow for a lot of sunlight, it is the opposite at night, where modern lighting is much brighter thanks to cheap, powerful and efficient LEDs. Here, I think it is just fashion, nothing technical.
There is probably more money to be made selling the tools.
Cryptominers are way more expensive than the solar system itself, it is questionable if they will recoup their cost even with free electricity, and afaik, it would not be easy to select an arbitrary power consumption. Power can easily vary between 100W and 800W by the second.
Why are you participating in a cesspool? Sounds pretty gross.

Sorry if this is a hot take, but this is of no importance to me.
Yeah, so-called "day raves", including one day festivals in parks have grown massively in London, possibly at the expense of late/all night options.

Perhaps a perfect storm… 90s/00s ravers are older now and appreciate the loer impact on the rest of their week of starting and finishing earlier and the younger generation is less into the wilder side of partying, so noon – midnight perhaps works out better for everyone a lot of the time.
Preference for specific sports is highly cultural.

Example: In China, table tennis is king.

Germany has the strongest table tennis league in Europe, and yet mainstream media mostly ignores it. Even the second and third soccer leagues get more media attention. If you ask me, most of soccer is very boring, players safely passing the ball back and forth, looking for openings. Somewhere between 0 and 5 goals in 90 minutes, if you see the 3 to 10 most interesting minutes, you haven't missed anything. How exciting /s.

If we care about Olympic games, and maybe even medal rankings, we'd do well to discard notions that some forms of sport being more or less interesting based on cultural and personal preferences.
Research universities have plenty of professors who are there to do research. But they often still have a teaching responsibility. For those professors, teaching students is a mandatory thing they only do so they can keep their job doing what they actually want: research.

Those professors aren't great teachers, and I think we shouldn't blame them for it. Instead we should blame the system that forces them to do something they aren't good at.
You can find plenty of YouTube videos for that but I bet you rarely find anyone who actually uses it that way on a daily basis. The performance and desktop experience are just miserable.

IMO this kind of thing is a symptom of so few people knowing multiple languages. It doesn’t take much time in a second language to realize how much of an art translation is. Heck, even if you only know English, reading a few translations of classic literature should make it obvious. I really hope AI doesn’t totally ruin the market for actually decent translations of books, films, and television by making something “good enough” so cheap that nobody gets into the industry anymore.
Don't they still consider "app locks up when playlist free-loops" not a bug?
Hi Jeff, I feel that for just a few watts idle extra you get a much more capable, and much more complete, easy-to-handle computer, at this time the Raspberry Pi starts to feel like, why do we still even care? let the industry customers have them.

I’m sure you have many more topics and a ton of other gear to explore to explore and many pi-related videos are fun entertainment (which is fine for it’s own sake) but it always practical.

That 4-SSD nas looks fragile as hell and I think it’s definitely worth exploring alternatives.
Well if you extended it to "weaponsmanship" then that's still the case. People are fascinated by guns and bombs and other modern (or fantasy) weapons, which is why they show up copiously in movies.
yeah I also did this again recently. Google was getting too heavy-handed with their impossible captchas, so I switched to Bing for a while, once again thinking that it can't be as bad as I remembered. honestly it was okay for a while, but Bing - and every other alternative I've tried - still really struggles with any query where a vital part of the meaning is captured by the structure of the sentence rather than the keywords alone.
I used Dropbox until it stopped just working, added 3 device limit and gated the cloud drive feature under much more expensive teams plan. And switched to OneDrive.
Google drive app always was wonky and used filenames to store internal state (breaking for example Calibre database)
Can you provide some examples for either scenario? I don’t understand this argument at all.

> generally because it repeatedly failed to meet their basic needs

I think it is no longer relevant. How much of the needs are met is decided by the social media now.

I personally know people making life altering decisions based on the fake news. Their world is detached from the reality in such a way, that they don't believe their own eyes.

People now see a world mostly thought the screen of their phone.
The problem is that to fit on the existing board, you need a single RAM package with the same number and function of pads. Looking at a sample photo of a board, I can see it has a Micron package labelled D8CJN. Looking that up on Micron's FBGA parts decoder, the full product code is MT53E2G32D4DE-046 WT:C which is a 64Gb (64 gigabit, i.e. 8 gigabyte) LPDDR4x RAM at 2133 MHz, in a 200-ball TFBGA package.

Looking at Micron's range, they now have a 128Gb (16GB) chip with matching specs, which is the MT53E4G32D8CY-046 WT:C. That chip costs £74.66 per chip from Mouser Electronics (just one site I found selling it) in quantities of 1,360.

In contrast the 2GB chip - which I surmise is a MT53E512M32D1ZW-046 - costs £9.26 each in quantities of 250. There's a price break listed for 2,720 of the things, but I'm not going to ask for a quote.

So that's £65.40 more for the larger RAM chip. Which is about $80 on today's mid-market exchange rates.

Looking at the 4GB it's probably a MT53E1G32D2FW-046, which is £16.72 in bulk quantities of 1,360 from the same wholesaler (for the revision C part). So that's an extra £7.46 or about $9.

Why are other systems' RAM upgrades cheaper? Largely because they use more chips, and therefore each chip has less capacity. That means either the chip is less dense, or it's a smaller die, so fewer defects are likely within the one chip, making yields higher. An SO-DIMM might have two or four chips on it, depending on whether it's populated on one side or both; a full-size DIMM might be 8 or 16 (or 9 or 18 if it has ECC).

Obviously I've made the assumption that this is just a drop-in replacement chip on the existing board. But I assume it would be very hard to redesign the board to fit in the same form factor, with all connectors in the same positions, but add on another RAM chip. If the SoC even supports driving more than one RAM chip, which it may not.

TL;DR that's what Micron charge for the larger chip.
It really depends on the club and the culture. In big clubs and venues, it’s more a performance now and statement than it is a club (think Printworks/Afterlife visuals) so everyone is on their phones.

My experience of small intimate clubs in Europe is that people tell each other off for pulling out phones, or there’s just no light in the room - so there’s nothing to photograph. People are there for a good time. If you want a good experience, go for small lesser known artists in small venues. You’ll have fewer people there to record the night.
> I have faith that UW leadership will make it right in the end.

I would never ever trust those hypocritical bureaucrats in universities. They have power over your degree and your life, but you have nothing. They are businessmen and politicians (some of which actually had/will have a political life before/after the high education gig), not educators.

You high school teachers and university professors are real humans. Administrators are not.
I don't know, all my use cases where I needed GPIO are better satisfied by an ESP32. If I need more compute, I connect the ESP32 to my server via the internet.
I'd be impatient too if I was in a robot car that suddenly started driving erratically. There's no way to know whether it's going to continue harmlessly driving around a parking lot or suddenly do something dangerous.

I probably would have looked for a stop button in the app before calling a phone number because that's faster. It seems weird there isn't a physical stop button inside the car.
They certainly hoard more than their "fair share" of wealth.
Then they would quickly discover that their moat isn't as strong as people think it is.

Going from relying on a subscription SaaS service to…still relying on a subscription *aaS service. And you still have the cost of keeping someone on staff to maintain the server and be available at 3am and 3pm.

Pretty much like the modern Bachata/Salsa scene in Europe. Large parties that go from 11pm to sometimes 6am in the morning. Very little alcohol consumed but you pay big to get in to cover the cost of the location and dj's. However many venues will body frisk you for water bottles in an attempt to force you to the bar to buy drinks. At least one large event has stopped that and now provides free water ( https://bachata-fest.com/ ) under the obvious realization that people are there to dance not get shit faced and that bag checking and frisking for water bottles just leads to bad community feelings.

I didn’t, but I assume they downvoted you as a quick way of saying no to your question, which you chose to phrase in the form of a correct statement.
When your company is small you have few customers and your structure is simple, so you hire one assistant to handle all customer support and that assistant has enough time to process each request with attention, and she has enough knowledge and authority to solve non-trivial problems in creative ways.

When your company gets big, the amount and complexity of customer support needed scales disproportionately, and it stops being possible to process each customer in a meaningful way, so the whole thing becomes a game of leaving the least number of customers dissatisfied.
Implement it yourself, then? Or how is this relevant to the feature this post is about?

That fully depends on the context in which those articles are posted. The last four years did not see a slew of articles on dementia, cognitive decline or reviews of Weekend at Bernie's for a reason - even though the first two are of general interest they would be seen as politically biased. Politics is supposed to be largely absent from this site, a rule which is not set in stone and seems to suffer from left-coast bias but it is part of the playbook. That some legacy media outlets now want to continue the Hitler! Hitler! Hitler! chants which played a significant part in losing the 'democrats' the presidency does not mean these articles are of 'general interest' since they are clearly aimed at linking whatever the Trump presidency says or does to their favourite scape goat.

This completely ignores second order effects, which lead to the opposite conclusion.

If milk is a byproduct of producing meat that can be sold for money, this means milk subsidizes the price of meat. Even if the effect is small, this is almost certainly enough to make it worse for the environment than e.g. soy milk, as the difference between raising cattle and growing soy is orders of magnitudes.
