You can process the voice to text locally, but it's what you do with the text afterwards that is done in the cloud.

In the age of LLMs, even a simple request like "set a timer" is sent to the cloud so that it can be processed in the context of what you've said previously, what devices you own, what time of day it is, etc. etc.

And FWIW, you will get a better voice to text in the cloud because that model will know about your device names and other details. For example, if you say, "turn on the kitchen light", the cloud knows you have a light called "kitchen", so if you slur a bit it can still figure it out.

I assisted a past company with transition from Jenkins to GitHub Actions and some of the things you mentioned also came up for us although we did not self-host. It's been a while but I'll try to comment to the best of my recollection.

I think Jenkins makes it easier to support some less than ideal patterns because of how customizable it is.

Tracking the % of test failures across builds and normalizing failing tests rather than treating even one test failure as a critical issue that blocks the build. For test coverage we had to introduce a 3rd party tool like CodeCov or Coveralls.

I have rarely found it necessary to trigger CI workflow for a past commit. Even without dispatch parameters, you can rerun failed jobs from the web UI. If you are using workflows to deploy artifacts then I found it more straightforward to separate the testing and generation of artifacts from their deployment. So instead of building a testing, building and deploying a container all in one workflow you would instead store your artifacts in a central location and then specify the tag that you wish to deploy without rebuilding.

I also found that because we were self-hosting Jenkins and additional instances to run CI are relatively affordable there was very little emphasis put on performance and efficiency so over the years this had led up to almost 1 hour builds per commit which added up when multiplied across many developers and open PRs. I found that by splitting some repos and consolidating others we could bring this down substantially.

Also I am not sure if you're aware but there are some 3rd party managed GitHub Actions providers out there which make work as a compromise for you between hosting your own and using the runners provided by GitHub.
Holy crap, I almost want to make it just so we can name it that.
Is it? I own a Fujifilm X-T5 camera and Cadillac makes a car called the XT5, but I don't see anyone getting confused.
I would assume that whomever prompts the AI is the author of the work. Adobe or Dell doesn't get to claim ownership to your work just because they made the tool or computer.
Your dreams of making it in AI sound far fetched to me. I would look for a more solid career path such as within a trade. Learn basic plumbing or electrical work. You might be able to find someplace to work as an apprentice as you learn too.
> before the Elon hate-fest

Let me ask this: maybe, just maybe, it was before Elon went politically to far right and started cater to Russia, and to try reabilitated Nazism with actions and History revisionism?

I mean, when we saw Putin try to get Hitler off the hook and blame Poland for WW2, it was kind of expected, not only because Putin finances Neo Nazis all over the world, but because it suits his current agenda.

Now when Elon is doing it, it doesn't look weird to you? It's just the "hate-fest" maybe...
That makes sense! Thank you for the explanation.
That's admirably reflective. I was just wondering why Gates came to your mind rather than e.g. Bezos. It might be that you've recently read about some scandal that Gates hushed up. Or perhaps Gates is an easier target because he's slightly more aligned with progressive causes.

RCS on iPhone just sucks though. All I have is anecdotal evidence, but it feels like I only get late or out-of-order delivery from iPhones.

Plus iMessage doesn't allow you to send RCS messages from your laptop, whereas it's easy to do that with Google messages. That makes people with iPhones think RCS is worse than it really is. It's just iMessage that's intentionally hobbled. Not to mention the hostile UI decisions made by Apple, which seems to be the main knock against anything non-blue.

No they aren't.

I've been a cybersecurity SWE, PM, and VC for a decade at this point and I've almost never found any relevant security or enterprise SaaS related content on HN.

For a hot second (around 2018-2019) there was solid conversations around eBPF, io_uring, or cloud posture management, but that doesn't happen on here anymore.

Same with MLOps and ML Infra as well - almost no one on here understands Infiniband, RDMA, or BLAS

The tech industry is MASSIVE - and most people are only clued into their own little niche. And according to HN, the only tech companies that exist are FAANG, Nvidia, Tesla, TSMC, and BYD.

Having political viewpoints is fine. Protesting at their showrooms is fine. Making purchasing decisions for yourself based on your political viewpoints, also fine.

Punishing people (vandalism, scrawling Nazi symbols, hostile/threatening interactions on the road) for owning a brand of car and not sharing your viewpoints is not fine.
I’m not sure I agree. I’ve seen tech illiterate family members screw up Pixels and Samsung devices in the same way they screwed up Windows systems in the past. Even the most tech illiterate family members have done nothing bad to their iPhones. In fact I know one that was still using an iPhone 7 until last year and it was very functional. Two year old top of the line Samsung phones are crawling after two years. All anecdotal of course.
> Apple uses their dominant position in the smartphone market to exert leverage over the smartwatch market and block other companies' access to a huge chunk of potential smartwatch buyers.

They also don't make the Apple Watch compatible with Android, so they are also giving up their own access to a huge chunk of potential buyers (70% of worldwide smartphone users are on Android). So maybe we're missing something.

> In your view, what should Garmin have done if the major Android players blocked 3rd party feature parity from the beginning along with Apple?

In your view, what would happen if only one smart phone manufacturer ever offered any watch integration API? Would that make all of the others (who don't offer an API) anti-competitive? Or would they just have a worse value proposition for their products?

I can't believe this is the hill I'm going to die on- I'm not really an Apple fanboy, and I don't like some of the things they do (like 30% App Store fees or core technology fees in Europe). But I really don't see how Apple not opening up access to their phone constitutes anti-competitive practice. Companies are not obligated to deliver privileged access to their products. It's not a right you have to build a product off of someone else's product. The fact that they have opened up access in some categories does not make it anti-competitive that they didn't open up access in all categories. So many products are closed off in so many categories, why are we complaining about this time?

How to Build Community in Uncertain Times
I agree with the idea that you can't get rid of all the cracks, and I'm not particularly salty that I did manage to fall through one of them (for a while). It's just one minor problem in, as you said, a complex system that is full of them, as all systems are.

However, I think you're descending a sort of contemptuous name-calling with the "useless hand-wringing for the sake of doing so", considering that the subject was an attempt to make a very large change to the way the system works. That change was rejected (and, as the OP to my comment said, called by many "hysterics"), but it was nonetheless a proposed solution. Now... we're in the process of a massive change of a very different type, with the DoE getting chopped into pieces and universities being threatened (very vaguely for now, since the focus is still on other areas, but I think there's no doubt that their time will come if the current admin can maintain its momentum).

In general, the populace is aware that there are quite a lot of cracks and is, in the haphazard way that democracies do things, trying to apply solutions.
I've read about or seen interviews with people who refused.

You jest, but AI could look up the site's IP on shodan and a few others then get a shell, elevate to root and just use GNU Tar to back up the site including daemon configurations assuming it's not well hidden behind a CDN and not leaking the origin servers.
My current iPhone 12 mini was my first iPhone. Before they it was a OnePlus3, before that a Lumia 800. I tasted it all. I think it’s back to Android after this, specifically a GrapheneOS Pixel. It’s the sweet spot for the modern hacker. And I’m gonna have a great Pebble experience or some other cool watch via GadgetBridge.
In this particular instance, the claim was filled out that way.
Yes, you could. It's indeed troubling to see this mindset on HN. We have an overflow of professional "explainers" these days, we need more doers and fighters.
I doubt this will settle the issue. We are about to enter the age of AI generated X (movies, games, etc. 'I want to watch a western tonight.' ...'generating'...). Would the end user own the copyright on that since they prompted it? We are very early days still so the deep implications of the direction and potential of this technology aren't even remotely understood well enough yet.
It's not a necessary test for this case, but in general I would suggest using a legal test that is AI agnostic. Imagine there is a service where you can submit a prompt and get an image in return. You might submit a prompt like, "a man in steampunk gear sitting at a table playing with poker chips".

If a human artist draws an image based on that prompt, do you share joint copyright between the two of you? Or, does the artist have full copyright over the image they drew?

If your contribution was insufficient for joint copyright in the case of the human artist, then it was also insufficient to grant you copyright in the case of the AI artist. To know whether you have a claim on the copyright of the resulting image, you only need to look at your own creative inputs.

I am not a lawyer, but that is my expectation of where this will ultimately end up.
It's just a car bro. No one is "shooting oneself in the foot" by not owning Tesla of all things.

Since Sundar took over as CEO at Google (August 10, 2015):

- Google is up 5.2X - I am not sure how you got 152%
- Apple is up 10X
- Microsoft is up 8.25X
- Netflix is up 7.45X
- Amazon us up 7.28X
- Facebook is up 6.27X

Google has the worst returns in ten years of the FAANG(+M) companies. A 5X increase in ten years is still phenomenal, but it's important to not look at that number in isolation.

And for fun:

- Nvidia is up 207X
- Intel is down 12%
- The S&P 500 is up 2.72X
Whose side are you on exactly? I'm sure Apple doesn't need help amplifying their position.
I believe these days the "extra steps" amount to just clicking an option box to allow third party repositories during install.

I think the headline is overly broad, especially considering:

> As a matter of statutory law, the Copyright Act requires all
work to be authored in the first instance by a human being. Dr.
Thaler’s copyright registration application listed the Creativity
Machine as the work’s sole author, even though the Creativity
Machine is not a human being. As a result, the Copyright
Office appropriately denied Dr. Thaler’s application.

It seems like Dr. Thaler's argument was just weak, since generative AI works often are authored in the first instance by a human being. For instance, any Midjourney or Stable Diffusion-generated image will be sourced from a prompt, which is typically written by a human. Anyone who has spent a little time trying to craft the perfect prompt knows there is a creative process therein that represents real work being done by a human. Similarly for img2img workflows, using a real photograph taken by a human. There, AI is only being used to transform a copyrightable input. Therefore such works – though certainly not all AI works – should be eligible for copyright, IMO.

I mean, it seems that local hardware can be a limiting factor on the quality of the LLMs you can deploy. Why should they shoot their feet?

Even Apple did open their AI system to OpenAI (and potentially other vendors in the future).

As long as there is explicit consent to do so, it is fine. Nobody forces you to buy an Alexa product.
One nit-pick with the article:

It links to a Forbes article arguing that the best chess is played by humans and computers working together.

This concept is evidently false. Alpha Zero played super human chess without any human assistance beyond coding its machine learning algorithm and inputting the rules of chess.

Furthermore, in a timed chess match the delay and possible misjudgments from a human would detract from the performance of the human-computer team versus the computer chess program alone.
What is it that SVN does particularly well here? Handle binaries?
> It's scorched earth and is not limited to new buyers.

This whole thing is about destroying already bought vehicles to intimidate potential new buyers, and thus lowering future sales. Not that I support the vandalism, but I think that's the kind of logic they are applying here.
You need both people with their heads in the clouds dreaming of fantasy futures as you also need those promoting the status quo. The former gives us direction and hope (motivation) while the latter gives us stability. There is a balance. To use reinforcement learning terms: exploration and exploitation. In reality there are many more subsets that each pull in different directions. I agree that this is optimization and most of them play essential roles. But it also means we should adjust the weights and pay attention when one starts to dominate and throw things out of balance. And I'd argue that this is exactly what has happened in academia. The bureaucrats won and threw things out of balance. I'm not asking to go somewhere we've never been before, but I think many have because they don't know what the past looked like.
Your Paper Is an Ad
pfsh who needs to write data??? ;p

If you have streaming data as a source, I built a side project to write streaming data to s3 in iceberg format:

https://sql-flow.com/docs/tutorials/iceberg-sink

https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow

I realize it's not quite what you asked for but wanted to mention it. I'm surprised at lack of native iceberg write support in these tools.

Pyiceberg though was quite easy to use, arrow-based API was very helpful as well.
The guideline says:

"Apps that copy basic iPhone or iPad functionality (including but not limited to its UI, gestures, core features) will be rejected unless the app provides a clearly different purpose or adds unique functionality."

Note the "basic" line. And there are plenty of Photos, Notes, Streaming etc apps so not seeing where this is being used to exclude competitors.
This is both fascinating and an excellent way to show the "big picture" but also allow people to drill into the details.

In what way do you think corporate personhood is relevant here?
If I just send fake letters, it's illegal (I assume). If I have a legitimate website selling logos, and point to the product page for the logo I accused you of copying, and I can claim copyright ownership over AI generated art, then I have the law on my side even if I get taken to court (I assume).

I'm not a lawyer though, so I'm probably wrong. At the very least, the legitimate website makes the threatening letter look more believable.

Apple are making devices for people who want things that look pretty. Functionality is generally not the major concern. Think about it.

They are late with most new tech as they will just wait until it becomes cheaper, why? Because they already know it's not a deal breaker.

They removed a bunch of fundamental and heavily used ports from the Macbook for years. Because they knew people would just work around it and buy dongles.

They put the charging port for their wireless mouse on the bottom of the mouse so it wasn't possible to charge and use the mouse at the same time. Because they knew people would put up with it because it was pretty.

For a lot of people, it's not that it works well or anything. It's about the brand and the design. It's about the marketing. And when it's about that and not the actual product you can do whatever you want to your product and it doesn't really matter. And compatibility with other brands doesn't matter because they've already bought into Apple's brand over everything else including basic functionality.
I think that's the intention of a panic.. however there is still recover if you need to "catch" it.
Yes, the word rizz comes directly from ka-RIZZ-ma.
Making a sacrifice, whether great or small, is a very common ethical behaviour.

I refuse to make purchases on Amazon. Sometimes that's a minor inconvenience: perhaps the alternative has slower delivery. Sometimes purchasing elsewhere probably costs me more than it would on Amazon.

My purchase value is low considering the whole world, but it's not zero. I can also influence my employer's decisions, which are larger — and we use Azure rather than AWS.
Maybe just switch out of tech and join a union with a paid apprenticeship or training program. Do you like to build/fix stuff with your hands?

> TFVC source control history

Surely there's a migration path to git from TFVC? Many large projects successfully moved from CVS and SVN into git.

I'm just surprised that, after 7 years of owning Github, Microsoft hasn't plowed their resources into Github's Projects. It's literally the number one complaint I see regarding project management inside Github - and would likely be an easy way to scale subscriptions for Teams and Enterprise. Heck, today it's still impossible to generate a Burn Down chart without using 3rd party "Apps" or the API.
That's a legal implication. I'm asking what is it a practical implication. Why would an AI want to copyright their work?
> They have other things to do with their time than learn about security vulnerabilities and how to avoid them.

You're making that statement as if iPhones don't have security issues and people using Android definitely have to learn about those things.

> They want to just click 'yes' on every popup and expect things to keep working. Because they know that they are not qualified to answer that yes/no popup question. And those people do not care much about lock-in and walled gardens.

What exactly is it that Apple does that makes it not matter whether you click 'yes' or 'no' on these popups?

Any other posts you can link to? I searched but couldn't find anything.
With the Alexa devices that have local processing hardware, that is exactly what happened (prior to this change, if you had the local only option set).

But now, in the age of LLMs, there are no "simple rules". An example. Say you live in San Francisco:

"Alexa, I'm thinking of going to New York, how many flights are there each day?"

This is a hard question, and one that will go to the cloud.

"Alexa, what's the weather"

This seems like an easy question. But with local only processing, you'd get the weather in San Francisco. But with the LLM, it will probably give you the weather in New York, which is most likely what you wanted if you asked these things just a few seconds apart.
> If you’re not those people, then dont worry about it.

Seems to me they're trying to get me to give them my tax money these days. Not sure "you do you" is really a great response to obvious grift and fraud.

Nor is it an answer to the question of what crypto is actually useful for.
