All the product pages say: "I have four contact pads that can easily be used to make two buttons. And I have an RGB LED, because everyone loves blinky things!"

The entire conflict is created by the environmental NGOs though.

Many countries & people fund those NGOs, either thinking they are helping the environment, or they have ulterior motives (promoting their investments).

The NGOs are tricking people, they want to reduce nuclear to further solar/wind because they have investments in it.

Russia is playing into the NGOs because they have the same end goal, wanting to reduce nuclear, but for their nat. gas. investments.

Misskey has a lot more features, but can be too much for certain scenarios.

Misskey is more geared towards "fun" communities, because of it's design and it's extra features.

Mastodon is more sterile/corporate and geared towards serious things.

Yes. It's the only federated news aggregator, which works well for a community that wants to share links related to their common interest, and discuss them.

Being federated allows them to use their existing identity or create one for the fediverse, and general or like minded communities to see the discussions as well. The same reason people use subreddits for fanbases, but not being beholden to reddit.

> Perhaps real human readers can help?

Certainly, and they do, but computers can annotate much faster, without attrition, and cost much less.

Generally you'll have human recordings for what you can, and TTS for anything missing.

There are a lot of books, live streams, podcasts, articles, etc. in the world.

> There's no need to have model that can do that.

I wouldn't say there's no need, or otherwise we wouldn't talk that way. It's a human element and the generated speech is for human ears.

> A robotic accent is best.

Best is subjective because that's a human preference. That being said, I'd say your preference is a far outlier.

Most people's "best" would be what they are used to hearing; the speech of native speakers.

It doesn't have to, and you can use ones that don't, they get the info across mostly. But it is jarring if it doesn't sound human, it's a speech impediment, or as a more generous take, an accent.

The correct inflections, pauses, annunciations, etc. are all important to humans, especially so for audio books and similar things that need to immerse.

Otherwise you have to strain to listen, similar to listening to someone with a heavy accent.

Glad it could be of use!

I think we should average out what you are both estimating.

Where in my post did I say that?

If you do want to see my response about the endless wars:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34249354

But comment you replied to is about the 1A and the military that makes that possible.

Please lookup the definition of high roading.

But yes, you certainly can talk about your misguided views! And people can call out your misguided views as well!

All because of the 1A which is protected from outside forces with the strength of the US military.

Soldiers have little to do with policies such as the endless Middle East wars.

Your moral crusade should be aimed at the defense contractors and their congress buddies.

It's not the soldiers choosing proxy wars in Ukraine or the Middle East, it's congress.

Because of the latter half of my sentence you ignored.

It's easy to highroad everyone when you sit back reaping the benefits of what others have done.

You're able to safely post that stupid comment because of soldiers and Pax Americana.

Lol ok.

My position is to not do these things as we cannot know the repercussions and we don't have a great track record.

Your position is to try to simulate a volcano to cool the Earth and "let's just see how it goes".

Ignoring the fact if we do that, then a natural volcano could go off as well and set us over the edge, causing an ice age.

Sure you can hand wave away the repercussions pointing to a movie, but it's still your stupid suggestion.

And what retarded logic that is, just because Armageddon is a movie doesn't mean asteroids aren't a threat.

> Don't end the world then. Hypothetical Mars colony is doomed anyway without support from Earth.

Becoming a multi-world species means insuring yourself against asteroids and other planet killers out of our control (super volcanoes, etc.)

Food can be grown purely on Mars. Unless you don't believe in vertical farming? We have the sun and water on Mars...

> Nobody is dismissing SpaceX with a Youtube video. The Starship and Mars mission are being thoroughly dissected which is relevant to the topic.

Yeah I simply meant instead of linking the video, to expand on what you think the strongest points were.

> I don't think they should die. But maybe it's just me.

People climb Mt. Everest just for fun knowing it is a risk to their life. Others put their lives on the line everyday to make the world run, from cleaning skyscraper windows to windmill maintenance.

It's up to that individual, not you.

Group think does not make your syndrome go away, sorry.

Now if you would like to defend the statement "SpaceX is the Fyre Festival with rockets", that'd be a start.

But simply saying "Musk = bad" just proves GPs point and makes you look... silly.

Personally SpaceX has blown me away (pun intended) with their advances in rockets. Now what's your take?

> It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. Mars takes months and not easy to reach.

That's a bonus. The farther from the Earth, the farther from the explosion from a world ending event. The moon is not far enough.

> There is no magnetosphere and refueling idea is unrealistic.

Please explain how it's unrealistic. There's water and c02. You don't need anything else. Oh and you get oxygen as a byproduct.

> CSS[1] guys did a good rebuttal to all this nonsense:

Pointing to a Youtube video is not really a debate. Put it in your own words if you understand it.

I wouldn't dismiss SpaceX with a Youtube video.

The great thing is, who cares about the people negging, it'll get done anyway, and just like landing rockets upside down, people will find another thing to neg and say "impossible!"

Yes lets establish a base on the moon with no resources, the same moon that was created from an asteroid impact like the one we're trying to avoid by being a multi-planet species.

We can create fuel on Mars. Mars is far enough away from Earth that it's a safe redundancy for humans.

Sure we can use the moon as a stepping stone to Mars, but we can also train for Mars like conditions in Nevada...

Either way, Mars is the only viable goal if you want to remove the single point of failure of an asteroid impact.

This just in, Hacker News is now pro-landlord.

California property owners are under attack!

Lithium isn't supposed to be flammable but gasoline is in your mind? What kind of logic is that?

Both are flammable and both take as many precautions as possible (with our knowledge) to not be in a car, but still can in extreme conditions (crashes).

The main difference is chemical fires are harder to put out, but you just have to carry the right suppressant.

But with Tesla, yes they make the news than other cars, including other EVs, because... politics.

Not really? We have no idea the relativity of our change vs what's supposed to happen when coming out of an ice age because of our short window we are observing.

We may change the climate in our entire history as much as a super volcano does, or many times less.

The Pragmatic Programmer is the only read you need.

Assuming your doomsday predictions are correct and all this time... then assuming your counter to the prediction is correct.

Ya'know what... go right ahead and try to terraform the Earth to whatever you think is... best.

Your doomsday prediction may then come true actually. Self fulfilling prophecy and all that.

God speed in making your artificial ice age.

Our proposed planet-scale terraforming will be done gradually, don't be irrational!

We'll just see how it goes...

Are you serious?

Well, I made up the phrase to sum it up. Trademark!

The long form is, the gov can't compel someone to remove a post if it's not illegal due to the 1A.

But they can suggest a company to "moderate" the post for them, to the same effect.

-

It's the same thing as when they collect data from companies.

It would be illegal for the government to spy on you, but the companies willingly give them your data.

Government agencies laundered censorship through Twitter employees

Your Texas history could use some buffing.

Or appliance history at least (though we had iceboxes for quite some time!)

Maybe that's why we fought so hard for The Alamo; to clone it's futuristic A/C for later settlements...

They own part of the company that is worth that much.

They can't liquidate all their assets without harming the company, thus the livelihoods of their employees.

Look at what they create, not only what they are worth.

Also your charity endeavors are more effective with the compound interest of a billionaire vs a multi-millionaire.
