> it's amazing to me that the same people who are trying to convince me that the current government is fascist is also at the same time still campaigning on behalf of the same government to disarm its citizens.

Why is that amazing? It doesn't really matter if civilians in the US are armed and trained and organized. If the US government decides to violently oppress people, the US government will win. Sure, it'll hurt more fighting against armed civilians, but they'll still win. The idea that the 2nd Amendment creates a populace full of people who could win an engagement against the US military is hilarious.
I thought pikes when I was reading the article. My wild guess was maybe a materials science problem and that for some reason they couldn't mass-produce them with the tolerances they needed to fight cavalry.
The bandwidth requirements are very low - you can sync time over a 56kbps serial port if you like.

However, the big benefit of PTP is having your precise timing and your main network connection share a single wire - so if your server needs 10 Gbps for whatever the server does, to get the highest accuracy you'd want a PTP compatible switch with 10Gbps ports.
Our server was on managed hosting, meaning security was their responsibility. If it was hacked, that’s a failure on their part, not ours.

Instead of investigating or helping us secure it, they suspended our account without proof and refused to provide backups.

A responsible provider would have detected and mitigated threats proactively—not punished their customers with data loss and financial ruin. This isn’t just negligence, it’s outright reckless.
Challenging hard work. Hope to go well.
Not a full on war maybe buy low level attacks and attempts to subvert the political system to put in pro Russian permanent leaders like Orban, and their attempt to do likewise in Romania. If they did take over Ukraine I'm sure they'd start making opportunistic threats over the Baltics.
Nintendo joycons beg to differ.
If you were trying to educate people about scams filtering out certain accents would be very effective.
I don’t understand the need for most of the patterns described in this book. Why abstract away SQLalchemy using a Repository when it is already an abstraction over the database? What’s the purpose of the unit of work? To me hand rolling SQL is much more maintainable than this abstraction soup
Anyone who might dismiss this as being just a few isolated cases — or who think it is desirable to just remove political opponents from the equation — should think long and hard about what it will actually take to maintain this kind of “criminalisation of dissent” over the long term… escalation is inevitable.

There is clearly an intentional narrative being pushed that defines anyone who disagrees with the current administration’s ideology as an enemy who should be punished. Even if the risk to any one person is currently relatively small, just the threat itself will have profound effects on individual’s decisions.

A massive brain drain seems inevitable but such a war on free speech will also radicalise people, even if it starts only in whispers. That will likely necessitate further oppressive measures to “stamp it out” and so forth, creating a vicious cycle. With each iteration the stakes increase, justifying increasingly violent measures & countermeasures on both sides, further increasing the consequences of — and the need avoid — actually being held accountable for those actions…

> privately-owned surveillance cameras that are "voluntarily" offered to law enforcement

You may find interesting to know that in the case of crimes being committed near or next to a business, especially independent businesses, their priority is often to minimalize risk to them and their business, and so they do not provide any recording, or use rolling footage which wipes every x days (often just one day). That way the footage is useful to them, but they do not have any additional obligations.
It's an interesting use case. They show two examples of the accent modification: Indian and Filipino. In my experience every Filipino call center I've interacted with (from auto redirected customer support numbers) have learned American accents. While Indian redirected calls ime have had their native accent.

I've dropped Krisp after they transitioned from their 'old' app to the 'new' app in the most confusing way that I've ever seen. We were paying for a business subscription and suddenly the 'new' app only seemed to worked with a new type of subscription, the 'old' app did not get updates to support the newest macOS versions for months, ...

Since then we've been relying solely on Zoom's noise cancelling features and haven't been missing anything. They really improved massively over the years.

While it's not a drop in solution if you routinely need to join calls with other conferencing software, I haven't missed Krisp's after 'switching' 2 years ago.

If you're on Windows, NVIDIA Broadcast's AI Noise Removal has performed similarily well for me while gaming.

Nodejs -> Bun
It's not a real open world game anyway. It consists of various connected areas. Open world would be something like Driver, which was indeed a PS1 game.
It's also funny to me that police apologists use the "few bad apples" theory, when the full saying is "a few bad apples can spoil the barrel". The saying is about how having a few bad people will usually corrupt the rest.

And the "circling the wagons" phenomenon you mention is exactly an example of this. The so-called "good cops" rarely speak up when their colleagues are doing horrible things. It's disgusting. Those who are silent are complicit.
Is this the same Krisp.AI on the front page?

This is incredibly dehumanizing. I understand the logic behind this product but the entire motivation still boils down to wanting to outsource labor to lower wage countries without the downsides.

There's nothing wrong with the "Indian accent". It's not challenging. It's Indian English. There's nothing wrong with Phillipine English either. Those are just different regional varieties of English and people who speak them are often native speakers. These are native languages in their countries and they were introduced at the barrel of a gun. We don't call American accents "challenging" to speakers of other varieties of English either - the only reason other native speakers genuinely tend to not find the General American accent challenging is that they grew up on a diet of American media, there's nothing special about the accent itself.

As a European, I do find Indian English more difficult to listen to. But that's because I have less exposure to it (or rather had less exposure in my formative years - it's omnipresent if you work in tech these days). But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with their variety of English or "accent".

The reason this product exists isn't to aid communication or "break down barriers", it's to allow American companies to outsource call center jobs to lower wage countries without having their customers complain about being exposed to foreign accents when trying to access customer service. This solves one superficial "problem" (at least if it worked better than in the demo and actually masked the accent completely rather than "fixing" some of the "challenges") without actually improving service for customers. It merely reduces some of the friction introduced by purely profit-seeking cost cutting measures.

Not to mention that because this literally targets the bottom feeders who want to mask the fact they outsourced their call centers, this will also enable scammers to create even more plausible fake personas (now that most elderly people have wisened up to be suspicious when "Jim from Chase Bank" has a thick "Indian accent").

EDIT: "Notice how my natural tone and personality shine through. This mode allows me to stay authentic, making every interaction more personal" she says while reading out a prewritten script word-by-word. It's not about maintaining authenticity or personality, it's only about still appearing as humans so customers don't think you've gone all the way and just replaced these jobs with AI entirely (and maybe feel bad about yelling at them when they get upset with your products or services).
I'm living in Finland, and my Finnish language skills are .. not great .. but even I can spot spam messages easily.

There are some appalling auto-translated spammy/scammy SMS and WhatsApp messages being sent, and it would be incredibly hard to take them seriously due to their poor language.
I doubt it. For Capture Catching of Capabilities to work, you need some of the unique sauce practically only Scala has. E.g. Contextual functions or path-dependent types. Java almost certainly won't adopt these.

Long history of not being profitable - 2018 and 2019 feel like more of an anomaly than a trend.
I don't think that's meant by "filter" in this context. I believe instead that it is a reference to scammers filtering out those people who would likely catch on anyway at some point in the scam, so that they can concentrate on the more naive potential victims. Those victims who ignore things like spelling mistakes are much more likely to ignore other warning signs, too.
Show HN: I Overcame Resume Frustration with AI-Enhanced Video CVS
I’ve been through it all—months of sending out resumes that never got noticed, despite having all the skills on paper. I even tried making my own video CVs to stand out, but quickly discovered that I lacked the editing skills to make them truly professional. I struggled with everything: removing the background, adding the right music, adjusting color and lighting, and setting up the perfect scene.

Also, is there a Discord? Where's the community gathering? I'd like to try it :) looks neat.
Ask Nigerians how they feel about economic opportunity living in a low trust society full of scammers.

I hope you’re aware scammers don’t have a moral code (they are most likely to be sociopaths) and do not exclusively target the wealthy.

Often the most likely victim of a scammer is their neighbor.
> Ask Nigerians how they feel about the fact they can’t interact with most western institutions due to the actions of their worst neighbors.

How about you ask Nigerians how they are besides this topic? You think everything is good in Nigeria if it wouldn't be for that scam-issue?

In fact, you are displaying your own luxury believes here. It seems you think those scammers would have a normal job if they wouldn't be scamming people. Like, they have a choice. Yes, many Nigerians are scammed by other Nigerians. I am aware of that, but if "scamming" wouldn't be possible, those people would do other criminal things to their own people and the reason is that those countries have severe economic problems making it hard for normal people to have a life the way we live here in the beautiful West.

Them scamming their way into the West is as a small payback on the same road as the globalized markets operate. Those scammers rip off Westerners who profit from those same roads and the rip off their Western companies practice in the scammers home countries.

So yeah, I did hear that strategy already. It is an attempt at hacking my radicalized social behavior through the backdoor, while simultaneously diverting attention from those who actually hurt people in those countries: western politicians and companies. You will fail more often now with this strategy since the wave is rolling back and there are not many other strategies of diversion. They were never needed before.

Times change.
> by fingerprinting and supported protocols. None of that would be present inherently in a UDP stream unless the application included it.

Much like TLS, both clients offer all the protocols, versions, and media encodings that they support so that they can find a common set that they can use together.

This is standard negotiation when establishing connections in WebRTC and it's obviously fingerprintable information.
In a legal sense, yes. That police can't be held legally liable if they fail to protect someone from harm. They might lose their job, if their boss actually cares about officers putting their lives on the line to protect people, but they are under no obligation to do that. And in practice, most won't ever punish an officer for failing to protect someone when they could have done so.
Not to be confused with ISIS, lmao.

Phillipine English is apparently exported to much of Asia via Filipino English teachers (as they're native speakers of their variety of English) so this is likely not just about the Phillipines.

Indian English on the other hand is of course about India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.

It's pretty obvious what this product is for and who the target market is. Companies don't outsource their call centers to countries where these varieties of English are spoken by the majority of English speakers because they are looking for the best talents.

>As a former Apple employee that left in part due to declining software quality (back in 2015!), and the relentless focus on big flashy features for the next yearly release cycle, I could not agree more.

Oh Thank You so much. 2013 I was already questioning on some of the features it keeps adding that were useless. Yosemite with continuity was the only useful feature in the past 10 years.

Yes. relentless focus on big flashy features for the next yearly release cycle was exactly what I felt like it was. And that was the big reason why I dislike Craig Federighi.

Edit: Thinking about it more, former Apple employee that worked during 2005 - 2010 is probably a lot more prestige than post 2015.

Not represented directly in memory in its raw form right where the value is placed, but rather stored somewhere else (usually the heap) / in an opaque manner and accessed via an indirection, such as a pointer / reference. Often involved in making things polymorphic, because different types usually have different representations in memory even if they implement the same interface, so they need to be boxed.

Bullshit, it's completely different.

A non-criminal black person has no control or responsibility over a random criminal black person.

A police officer absolutely can speak up, speak out, and blow the whistle when one of their fellow officers does awful things. But most will just keep their mouths shut and help (actively or passively) with whatever coverup the institution decides is appropriate.

We're not talking about guilt by association, here. We're talking about guilt by failing to speak up; their silence makes them complicit.
This is an antiquated theory and it was never really true. The mistakes weren't intentional and wasn't effective for filtering victims. Phishing campaigns and scammers try to make as few mistakes as possible.

Any company anywhere always has to look for the best talent at the best price.

Otherwise, you'd only hire Nobel laureates, and go bankrupt immediately.
Allowing cops to get away with abuses is also an abuse. So, for example, if a cop murders a citizen and gets away with it, not only is it that cop that has abused their position of authority, but every other cop at that precinct who knows what happened is abusing their position of authority.

I'm not sure that sort of thing is something you can tie up neatly into a bow and present as some set of statistics. But it's a phenomenon that's very real.
Underestimating your enemy, or buying into all these media talking points about his will-they-won't-they energy and "epic trolling", will have disastrous effects. The most culpable person down the list after the apathetic are those who refuse to take tragedy and security threats seriously.

I work in a team with several Indian developers. After around three years of that I still struggle with some of their accents. I'd love to have real-time accent conversion in our daily standups. Or subtitles. The same goes for a thoroughly locally accented colleague who mumbles a lot. I imagine it won't be long before this tech starts showing up in hearing aids.
Humans are incredibly perceptive, and the soft robotic buzz (as in the demos) will do as much to diminish rapport as a foreign accent.
Leapfrogging: The Chinese Auto Industry's Leap Forward
BYD's leap forward is impressive, comparable to that of Ford Motors after the First World War, when with the Model T, introduced in 1908, it revolutionised the auto industry and ushered in the motorisation of the 20th century. In just five years, from 1920 to 1924, Ford's sales quadrupled from 460,000 to 1.9 million. Tesla Motors made a comparable leap forward in 2020-24, more than tripling its sales from 500,000 to 1.7 million.
Yes.

When you change behavior you should expect to re-record.
A few years ago, Edinburgh-based Rhetorical Systems produced custom corporate voices. They were unsuccessful due to lack of demand and high cost), and (the company that is today called) Nuance snapped them up.

Now, with LLMs, voice morphing and custom voices will be possible at much more reasonable price points and you might not have to spend hours in the studio recording piles of words that contain all triphones you need to sample.
it doesn't invalidate anything; my original point was that Musk has this much money, meaning that he's just moving money around, meaning that this pretentious analogy is not actually making any kind of insightful point whatsoever. what Musk is doing is taking two entities already with a high market value and then merging them, he's not just deciding randomly that 2 irrelevant things have value. how much money this guy has is irrelevant. it's just a shitty attempt at satire, which I cannot stand
