Yup, and that's going to be the case until AI's can really model human psychology.

Speech encodes a gigantic amount of emotion via prosody and rhythm -- how the speaker is feeling, how they feel about each noun and verb, what they're trying to communicate with it.

If you try to reproduce all the normal speech prosody, it'll be all over the place and SoUnD bIzArRe and won't make any sense, and be incredibly distracting, because there's no coherent psychology behind it.

So "reading off a teleprompter" is really the best we can do for now -- not necessary affectless, but with a kind of "constant affect", that varies with grammatical structures and other language patterns, but no real human psychology.

It's a gigantic difference from text, which encodes vastly less information.

(And this is one of the reasons I don't see AI replacing actors for a looong time, not even voice actors. You can map a voice onto someone else's voice preserving their prosody, but you still need a skilled human being producing the prosody in the first place.)

The ruling to invalidate Elon Musk’s pay package was a huge mistake. It removed the trust business had in Delaware. Unfortunately the ruling came with some very politically charged justifications and the shareholders vote to bring back the pay package made this all look even worse. I suspect this is the start of many companies leaving Delaware.

But how on earth do you train it? With regular LLMs, you get feedback on each word / token you generate, as you can match against training text. With these, you've got to generate hundreds of tokens in the thinking block fiest, and even after that, there's no "matching" next word, only a full solution. And it's either right or wrong, no probabilities to do a gradient on.

I didn’t research it that much, but a good place to start would be AirMessage [1] or Mautrix [2]. Both of these require a Mac to work – it might work on a Hackintosh, though, or maybe using same tricks those forks of OpenHaystack use to run without a Mac (no pointers here, sorry). Hope this helps!

Worked for Dun & Bradstreet for a bit in high school. Weird job, looking back. Sitting in a cubicle, a terminal would "randomly" pull up information about a small business in a kinda CRUD-like interface that a 14-year-old could spin up in a few minutes in RoR. You'd have to cold-call the business owner, and then ask all sorts of personal questions, like their address, how many customers they have.
My "favorite" question, "What was your total revenue last year?" And some people would actually give it out! But most would spit in your face or hang up. The coup de grace was if they didn't hang up, you had to then upsell them on one of your data products. I remember one of them was just, here's the information we have on you (that you just gave me).

It was soooo soul-crushing, after every call I'd click away from the CRUD terminal to a browser and read a little "John Baez's stuff" for a few minutes. And then I'd hear the phone ring and it'd be my boss saying, "Let's take another call, okay?"

They used to tell us Abraham Lincoln worked there, I guess because it's hard to imagine Abe toiling at a fucking boring and embarrassing job like this, so maybe it's actually not that bad.
I thought that was their strategy, though? Dismantle the executive branch to the point where the president has little power.
I would guess some Latin American origins. They have a very persistent meme culture that is upset that, in English, when you say “American”, you mean “from the United States of America”. Whereas, at least in Spanish-speaking countries, they have a different mental model of the world’s landmasses and the entire western hemisphere is “America”. Not North or South as separate continents; it’s like being “European”. So, while in, say, Argentina, I might be careful to call myself “estadounidense” (my Spanish is poor, please forgive spelling and suffix errors), it’s
really not an issue in our southern neighbor, which is the Estados Unidos Mexicanos (United Mexican States) so, “estadounidense” applies equally to them. And yes, I have spent time in Mexico City, and nobody got in my face for saying “soy Americano”. Most of the visitors are going to be from other parts of Mexico or from the US, with a significant minority of Canadians.
Luckily a weak congress can be replaced. I see nothing that has happened so far personally that cannot be democratically corrected.

What you've done here is called "vaguebooking", defined as the act of posting intentionally unclear messages on social media to get attention or sympathy. It's...very edgy, and indeed exhausting.
> Really why would they bother with UBI when they can let the mob just die out?

Personally, I think UBI is a ploy to keep the "huge starved mob[s]" pacified during the transition, when they still have enough power to act, before the tech oligarchs fully cement their control.

Once the common people are powerless to protect themselves and their interests, then they'll be left to die out.
Open source means being able to verify how the sausage is made. Getting a premade sausage and saying “oh you can still eat it and spice it up however you like” isn’t that.

This is silly. USAID was investigating the usage of Starlink in Ukraine, which by the way Musk provided completely free of charge at a time when no one else was doing anything for Ukraine.

DOGE found that USAID has actually spent taxpayer dollars to funding terrorists.

I have no idea how we try to connect these dots to be “personal”. USAID was a sham and it’s been exposed.
Oh please. Good faith requires facts, which this current administration does not use.

And personally, I think the Z80 is easier to understand (no zero-page, no limited stack size, etc.) but that is probably just me, though I did write professional 6502 and Z80 code way back when.
This is my field, and I can't tell, nor do I want to look up yet more papers to figure it out when they don't say it plain. But with methods sections relegated to footnote status, what do we expect? Of course they don't know how to write a paper, and/or of course the reviewers and editors can't tell that it's too vague.

Medical publishing is still a cartel, and academic medicine is always attached to big business enterprises. They want to see the number go up. Meanwhile, manuscript submission fees are in the thousands, and journals are insisting on shorter and shorter deadlines for the unpaid peer reviewers. It's a shit show.
I think you still care too much about the visitor's identity and agency.

Step back a bit and ask why anyone ever tried to throttle or block bots in the first place. Most of the time, it's because they waste the service operator's resources.

From a service operator's point of view, there is no need to distinguish an AI agent that rapidly requests 1000 pages to find the best deal from a dumb bot that scrapes the same 1000 pages for any other purpose. Even a human with fast fingers can open hundreds of tabs in a minute, with the same impact on your AWS bill. You have every right to kick them all out if they strain your resources and you don't want their business. Whether they carry a token of trust is as irrelevant as whether they are human. The problem has always been about behavior, not agency.

This is a very nice writeup, in game engines, they often cache a “nav mesh” that indicates how one point can go to basically any other point. As the author, mentioned, finding a path to a known outer point validates that the point has not been enclosed, so it seems like this could be solved efficiently with a cached pathfinding algorithm
I’d also consider forming a graph from the grid cells and using a max flow algorithm, these are very fast!

> Except the real issues are immigration and globalization.

The US is a country of immigrants, and has been so since it's inception.

H1Bs are not about limiting immigration at all. They are about having a workforce without basic rights and bestow corporations with the power of uprooting an employee's life and banishing them from the land if he even dares stepping out of line.

The axes hanging over the regular folk's head, such as corporate control over access to healthcare, is not enough to completely control the workforce. They still feel they need more control. That's why mechanisms like H1Bs exist, and why illegal immigrants are still widely employed and the ruling regime punishes workers but always protects the employers who insist in hiring them almost exclusively.

For the same reason GDPR should have not applied to smaller businesses, lots of people who had otherwise perfectly fine small sites that were useful and reasonably secure could not afford the overhead due to various factors, being self-bootstrapped, too small of a budget, hobbyist projects, etc the things that always make the internet great. The fines are in the millions at a MINIMUM, its ridiculous.

After GDPR became the law in the EU, we saw here on HN numerous announcements of smaller sites / companies just shutting their doors. Meanwhile, bigger sites and companies can afford all the red tape, and they win all these smaller companies customers by default.

They make money from their core income streams like ads or hosting for AWS. People pay them money for these services because doing so helps those companies make money.

What about AI, do they expect to sell that much AI compute to other companies to justify the large capex sums? That’s what I’m curious about. Where is this demand going to come from?
Sure, presidential electors should be appointed by state legislatures and the administrative state is unconstitutional.

But if we aren’t relitigating all that: we have an administrative state, to which Congress has delegated vast authority. Given that, how is it possible to argue that we should then further insulate that administrative state from accountability to the only elected official who can effectively hold it accountable—the President? What’s left?

That view reduces the elected government to a meta-government. Congress’s job is to make largely jurisdictional and procedural rules for the civil service to follow, and the president’s job is to mind adherence to those rules. But actual policymaking is delegated to the civil service, which is insulated from elections.

The spoils system is good, actually, and I’m persuaded that’s how the constitution was meant to work. People who voted for Trump loved that he put up a slate of people he was going to appoint with concrete visions of how they were going to run the government. That seems democratic to me.
Having lived under authoritarianism, I strongly urge you to firmly and swiftly form a negative opinion regarding an executive fully exetcising bypass of the legislature and courts.

You have to shape the voices in the tools, if you just spit them out they're junk but if you take the time to shape the voice a bit it gets better quickly, this is a cheap 11labs voice with 30 seconds spent on some basic shaping: https://s.h4x.club/bLuNlJWx

Still a bit teleprompter-ish but there are tools to go in and adjust pace and style throughout and you probably hear a lot of stuff with people not using those creative features. 11labs might very well be one of the best bits of software I've used, it's a great deal of fun to play with and if you're willing to spend the time the results are superb - I don't even have a use case, I just like making them because they're fun to listen to, ha!

I am empathetic, but my viewpoint is based on the math that it's cheaper to provide basic care from cradle to grave than to shoulder the cost of chronic diseases - regardless of how you manage them. Even if you adopt the ultimate individualist position and decide everyone is on their own. Sick citizens make bad workers, bad workers have low output. Sick kids don't learn, don't gain skills, don't become the future.

Hustlers spend all their time thinking about how to fleece people, while people like me bake that in as a cost of doing business. There is always some waste, because at some point it's cost prohibitive to root it out.

I would argue your nature makes you far too cynical - you probably see other scammers everywhere because that's where you look, but don't seek out the vast amounts of good those programs do, so your priors are messed up.
