He uses ElevenLabs, at least this is what he mentioned on his podcast with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. One mention of this is at (02:48:24). "ElevenLabs were really helpful here, especially in bringing the president’s voice to life in different languages."
In the silicon industry it’s definitely tcl only. Zero Lua. But every tcl script I have seen is extremely simple, often just a bunch of commands to the EDA tool that reads like a list of bash commands.

> The EM field is not quantized, or at least not quantized at the level of a photon, what we call a photon is the interaction of the EM field with matter, or more precisely with the electron shell of matter.

I don't agree with this. You can absolutely consider a classical (non-quantized) EM field interacting with quantized matter. This semi-classical model can describe the photoelectric effect, but it cannot describe other experimental observations such as sub-poissonian photo-detections / photon anti-bunching.

And for anyone who doesn't mind going down a massive rabbithole there are many variants of Minimig, the original FPGA-based recreation of the Amiga - most of which are on more affordable hardware than the Vampire - and open-source to boot.

The versions which have a soft-CPU are significantly slower than the Vampire - but for my money feel more authentic as a result. The versions which use a real 68000 CPU are slower still - but I think the version which combines an FPGA for chipset and an actual PiStorm for CPU is currently the fastest nearly-an-Amiga...
De Broglie–Bohm theory is a hidden-variable theory but does not allow for FTL communication.
Yes, but these kinds of systems are not actually very good as military weapons. They are easily countered by simply shooting the operators.

All? Of the 30 cars tested, 7 got "Poor" grades for IIHS's "front crash prevention rating". I spot checked a few of the failing cars and they all supposedly use radar.

Gatsby got destroyed because his wealth was from prohibition (the wrong way to make money), and didn't gain him the respect he wanted, nor was it sufficient to gain the respect of the woman Gatsby was chasing.

The 1920s classic novel is about the core of the Gilded age. Money is better than not money, but the issue with the 'money' was the incredibly fake culture you needed to achieve money quickly. Doubly so during the original roaring 1920s, prohibition and the rise of criminal gangs and organized crime.

Anyone who did make money (new money) would be naturally distrusted by the old money, who had other ideas of how money should have been made.

The main character of Gatsby (the narrator, Gatsby's friend and point of view for the novel) is similarly upper class and comfortable. Just not as wildly rich as Gatsby.

It's not that money corrupts you or whatever. The actual book is a good analysis into money and it's place in society. Those who chase money when they 'should' have been chasing popularity or other shallow needs are going to be disappointed.

-----------

There are certain modern 2025 analogies to the Gatsby book and concept. It does feel like we are in a fake Gilded age again after all.

Very whataboutism. Do you understanding why the person is making this argument? Or is everything just postmodern deconstructionism?

Everything has some imperfection, so LLMs are just fine... Completely missing the totally valid criticisms people have of the systems.
You see how this is worse, right? If automatic collision avoidance doesn’t work, why would you expect FSD to do better? (Or more to the point - why would a prospective buyer think so?)

And if collision avoidance doesn’t work better, then why isn’t FSD enabled on all cars — in order to fulfill this basic safety function that should work on all Teslas. Either way you look at it, this isn’t good. Expecting owners to buy an $8K upgrade to get automatic stopping to work is a bit much. Step one - get automatic stopping to work, then we can talk about me spending more money for FSD.

(And yes, I’m still bitter that my radar sensor was disabled).
My biggest peeve, is bad indexing.

The docs are there. The information is there, but finding it, is so difficult, that I have often just said "bugger this for a lark," and written my own implementation.

There's two types of docs: The teaching kind, as the article mentions, and the reference kind, for helping folks that already have a start, to find what they need.

I generally do the second. It can be fairly easily generated from inline headerdoc comments, these days, but we still have the issue of indexing, and I still have my work cut out for me, there.

Here's some stuff I wrote about my approach to documentation: https://littlegreenviper.com/leaving-a-legacy/

Using a fully-fledged flagship model as a personal assistant actually works pretty well. You don't need a task app, just tell the AI to remember and remind you. Granted, now you have to inject prompts to work around context limitations, allow the AI to schedule wake ups for itself or allow it to send notifications, etc. But those are issues with straight forward solutions. The issue is that for now those models are incredibly expensive and resource intensive to run. And a quantized 3.25B model like Gemini Nano just can't perform the same.
I'm suprised the VCs aren't pushing IPOs more.

A lack of IPOs makes the startup life much less attractive than sitting around at a post-IPO company, which also means a harder time growing the startups the VCs are investing in
Commercial pilots have that point hammered into their heads. Tesla did everything in their power to convince buyers that "driver is there only for legal purposes" and they can chill instead of driving.
Are there any reputable sources confirming this? So far I've only seen random accounts on social media making the claim. The police, defence ministry and emergency hospital all deny the claim.

Jeez. Getting your comment flagged for asking for a source. I'm out.
> who wants to work with nut that was building out siri initially

Who are you referring to?
As another mentioned, many of us haven't been trained. Every time I've reached for Siri I've been let down and just did it myself or didn't do it at all.

When I bought the new iphone (coming from Android most recently and iphone before that) I figured that Siri would actually become good because of this translation layer, and then them just not doing that has been a huge let down for me on the phone.

This is how active noise cancellation works in headphones. You stick little microphones on the outside of the headphones, then play back what’s picked up through the headphones themselves but with a very slight delay so all the peaks and troughs match up. The problem is that you need to put out sounds at least as loud, and that’s a pretty bad thing to get even slightly wrong if the energy levels are that high.

Things are inching closer to the ultimate show down between the Trump Administration and SCOTUS.

The Judiciary isn't anxious to push things to the brink because they understand the ramifications for democracy if they push Trump to the point of disobeying a direct Order of the US Supreme Court. The judiciary is very aware the Judiciary is a Constitutional Paper Tiger with no effective enforcement mechanism against the other two branches of government.

OTOH, if the Judiciary gives the appearance of attempting to avoid a showdown, that will likely only embolden Trump and increase the chance he tosses democracy aside by telling SCOTUS to 'go jump in a lake'.

It will be interesting to see if Judge Sorokin threatens criminal contempt on Monday.

> Wave functions are just a mathematical representation of a physical property that are (only?) ever operated on using quantum operators which result in a statistical distribution.

It is not correct— at least not unless you subscribe to the Copenhagen interpretation. Yet, while this interpretation is a simple heuristic for interaction with big systems (e.g., a photon hits a CCD array), none of the quantum physicists I know treat it seriously (for that matter, I have a PhD in quantum optics theory).

I mean, at some certain level, everything is "just a mathematical representation" - in the spirit of "all models are wrong but some are useful". But the wavefunction is more fundamental than measurement. The other can be thought of as a particle entangling with a system so large that, for statistical reasons, it becomes irreversible - because of chaos, not fundamental rules.

For some materials, I recommend materials on decoherence by WH Zurek, e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0105127. Some other references (here a shameless self ad) in https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/optical-engineer... - mostly in the introduction and, speaking about interpretations, section 3.7.

EDIT: or actually even simpler toy model of measurement, look at the Schrodinger cat in this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.07840
They even take legal responsibility for crash in those circumstances. Because they trust it to work in specified circumstances.
It's hard to compare. Rust has stricter requirements than C, but looser requirements don't mean easier: ever bit shifted by a variable amount? Hope you never relied on shifting "entirely" out of a variable zeroing it.
I don't find it acceptable for any reason whatsoever.
This "it's the same as the past changes" analogy is lazy - everywhere it's reached for, not just AI. It's basically just "something something luddites".

Criticisms of each change are not somehow invalid just because the change is inevitable, like all the changes before it.
Whatever its intent, QWERTY definitely hasn't impeded the fastest typists, who can regularly exceed 200wpm these days.

Sure but not all backend operations can always be mapped to flat files on Dropbox, like when you have certain real-time collaboration features, syncing on graph/tree-like data structures, or perhaps permissions in case of a company tool. That's why longevity of the "data" aspect is usually easy to solve when a copy of the data is already local, but then you still risk losing a part of what it is that makes the app when there is no way to run the app's syncing backend yourself.
I disagree.

We’ve worked across a number of equivalent anti-bot technologies and Cloudflare _is_ the AWS of 2016. Kasada, Akamai are great alternatives and are certainly more suitable to some organisations and industries - but by and large, Cloudflare is the most effective option for the majority of organisations.

That being said, this is a rapidly changing field. In my opinion, regardless of where you stand as a business, ensure abstraction from each of these providers is in place where possible - as onboarding and migrating should be table stakes for any project or business onboarding them.

As we’ve seen over the last 3 years, platform providers are turning the revenue dial up on their existing clientele.

KWord is a thing, and the only reason it's not still under active development is because enthusiasm for development dried up after the acrimonious KOffice/Calligra split. In fact, it was the only part of the KOffice suite that was allowed to keep its name after the split.

And there's also AbiWord, which is still under active development.

Or speaking of which, all the gazillion office suites with Office in the name.

Leaky abstractions doesn't imply abstractions are bad.

Using abstractions to trade power for simplicity is a perfectly fine trade-off... but you have to bare in mind that at some point you'll run into a problem that requires you to break through that abstraction.

I read that essay 22 years ago and ever since then I've always looked out for opportunities to learn little extra details about the abstractions I'm using. It pays off all the time.
these incidents - among an escalating number of other, similar incidents - are a grave betrayal of the US’ purported values, especially when it claims to be morally better than "other countries" who routinely violate the rights of people who aren't breaking any laws (in one case, literal torture techniques were used on a permanent resident of the US).

furthermore, the point is to call these things out as soon as they happen in order to prevent a situation where these occurrences become statistically significant enough for you to pay attention. the idea is to prevent wide-scale violations, not to sit back and allow them to continue until it reaches a point of normalization.

Friction without growth is bad friction.

Friction with growth is good friction, so long as the friction is minimized for the amount of growth.

And by "growth," I mean anything that helps people to "level up," such as learning, gaining a skill, becoming more Christ-like, whatever.

Growth cannot happen without friction. Your use of AI is stunting whatever growth you could have gained from those processes.

"So what?" you may say. However, someone who applies friction to growth consistently in their blog/code/whatever will find that growth compounds like interest, and though they may be less "productive," their productivity will be better in the long run because they will have the skills to go beyond anything you could ever dream of doing.
"Grind" just means "memorize a bunch of stuff for later regurgitation", which is the same thing as is demonstrated by memorizing the API for some arbitrary database or javascript framework.

Willingness to "grind" is a positive signal for people hiring developers in the same way that low critical thinking skills is a positive signal for people hiring law enforcement officers, and results in a team of similar quality.

A few years ago, I sat in an Italian airplane with the cockpit door open. The pilot and copilot spent most of the trip speaking to each other, using their hands to emphasize their words (if you've ever seen two Italians arguing passionately, you'll see what I mean).

As far as I could tell, they only had their hands on the instruments during take off and landing.

It was a bit weird :)
Not shipping something that isn't ready for prime time is hardly "dire".

Like I said I'm orthodox and have never been much exposed to protestant theology other than it just being sort of in the air in western secular culture.

I think you'd get interesting answers if you polled lay catholics with a question like "which is more holy, a consecrated but never-used church, or a parish recently desacralized after centuries of regular use."

There's definitely one "correct" answer if you asked a bishop or a catholic theologian. But I have noticed that there is often a big difference between lay religious experience and hierarchically controlled official dogma. A poll a few years ago had less than half of american catholics believing in transubstantiation, for example.

Started out as a math and science geek: Organic Chemistry was the target. Two chance encounters: one with two real working chemists that warned me to get a PHD to get a real job. I was to impatient to do that much school so the second chance encounter was with a obsolete computer that was plotting graphs and space games on paper. Three years os CS later I was working on Flight Simulation.
The 1st PC era happened and 5 years later I switched to install 1st gen PC networks. Then Unix got big and I did Sysdmin on that for a while. Then Perl programing which morph into webdev for handful of years.

Then I was "old" at least to the HR 15 guy, years my junior, who would not hire me, so I became a manager. Then there were to many managers I went back to school and got an accounting degree. Did that for a bunch of years and started teaching System Administration. Now looking for my next obsession.
That depends on where you put international law into this. Since 1945 it has generally been considered that there's a limit to the actions that a sovereign country can take. International law might work primarily with treaties rather than 'conventional' laws, but there are already parallels with national legal systems. We have a kind of international legislature (the United Nations General Assembly) and a judiciary (the International Court of Justice).
Once they're shooting at you, or going after you in some other way, that legitimacy etc. is irrelevant, simply because they're going after you.

The solution is then always an organized military response. This applies whether it's your government or somebody else's.

Here’s the problem. Let’s say women are on average 15% less aggressive than men on average. However, we know this type of thing is always a normal distribution, so what we have are two overlapping distributions. Classic stats 101 stuff.^

What are you going to meaningfully do with this information? If a woman walks in your store, she could be on the high end of the distribution and actually be more aggressive than the average man.

The point I’m getting at is you can’t usually make meaningful assumptions about individuals based on statistical data gathered about populations. 70% of businesses fail but your business doesn’t have a 70% chance of failure, it depends on the specifics.

So unless you work on projects like public health or prison design or something where you really are looking at populations in aggregate, this kind of data just isn’t that useful. At best it’s a curiosity and at worst it lets the small minded back up their biases with (irrelevant) data.

Even if a doctor knows that men are 2x as likely to get heart disease, he still needs to check his female patients for it if they exhibit the symptoms. If he looks at the data and stops checking women for heart disease then that is an ethical failure and just bad medicine.
