Just for the sake of being circular, I will mention the rumour i once read that Ras Tafari (Halie Selassie) was in fact the product of an affair between the Pricess Woizero and an Indian enginneer, which rasies the eyebrown given his the lack of resemblence the Shuwa King, Makonnen Woldemikael. But mentioned anyhow since it would be poetic if Rastafari also meant Way fairing traveller in Hindi, but i dont know much about poetry. https://landofpunt.wordpress.com/haile-selassie-abyssinian-r...

These terms are probably needed to cover public usage scenarios where someone could claim ownership or privacy violations even over a public forum.

Check the options on that i think you just need to select the right model

This is the most Kafkaesque thread i've ever seen on Hacker News.

Microsoft definitly uses analytics if that counts as personal data - https://www.microsoft.com/insidetrack/blog/microsoft-uses-an...

Is Microsoft reading your Gmail account, Word documents or Porn activities and feeding them to OpenAI? Not according to terms and conditions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/cognitive-services/o...

Is Microsoft generally doing generally unknown uknowns. Yes.

I think originally woke was shorthand for anti-racist (I don’t mind being corrected on this since I am not American). Unfortunately the term did not reach the UK in good enough time to be properly encoded in our Oxford English Dictionary and as a result the usage has gone rampant become diffuse! The meaning now seems to be converging on "I don’t agree with .".

Generally western laws would view caste-based discrimination as illegal and wrong. So, it would correct for an individual to express the same opinion in the West, even if that opinion disturbs the ideas and beliefs of a subset of the population attached to someone else’s culture.

The OpenAi CLI does that, follow the instructions https://github.com/openai/whisper

We probably used fire to cook them with, and probably cause a lot of accidental fires in the process ;) Also bare in mind that except for africa those megafauna would have been relatively tame and way too unsuspecting of meat eating humans.

Bad for the Canadian so called trolling bottom feeding viral "News" services, and I actually expect great for Canadians and their mental health and productivity - https://www.apa.org/monitor/2022/11/strain-media-overload

Hindsight is a great thing; I would assume that psychological damage accumulates. The question you are asking the man who lost his wife was: “Didn’t you know that constantly reading horrific texts, and looking at horrific images would wreck your mind. You should have known before you started?!” This is just a petition for the Kenyan government to investigate. Kenyan government may need to apply some age restriction, and require that staff be filtered by stability before the start reviewing horrible materials” "texts, and some images, many depicting graphic scenes of violence, self-harm, murder, rape, necrophilia, child abuse, bestiality and incest"

I typed "hello" and have now reached a daily limit somehow.

Here you go. AI generated transcript :

https://www.assemblyai.com/playground/v2/transcript/6lvprt5j...

From query:

The video flows in a coherent manner with minimal tangents.

Speakers: Bob Wilson, Richard Feynman, Evaluation committee (Tolman, Smyth, Yuri, Oppenheimer),

Summary: The transcript details Richard Feynman's work on the Manhattan Project, specifically his calculations related to uranium processing and bomb development safety. The project starts at Princeton but moves to Los Alamos. Feynman has various experiences settling in at Los Alamos and navigating censorship. He informs Oak Ridge of safety issues with their uranium handling.

Salient points: - Secret uranium isotope separation project revealed to Feynman. He joins reluctantly. - Feynman calculates and observes experimental setup. - Evaluation committee discusses and makes decisions. Feynman surprised by consideration of different viewpoints. - Project moves to Los Alamos. Feynman sent to Chicago to learn bomb design. - Feynman shares Chicago knowledge with scientists. - Scientists move to Los Alamos though not fully ready. Feynman impressed by scenery. - Feynman has trouble getting own room but manages through trick. - Feynman involved in Los Alamos town council politics. - Censorship of mail implemented. Feynman experiences issues with wife's letters. - Feynman calculates Oak Ridge uranium handling safety. Travels there when wife ill to inform of hazards.

Glossary: Isotope - atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons Uranium - radioactive metallic chemical element

Key takeaways: Calculations: - Uranium isotope separation - Bomb design - Oak Ridge uranium handling safety

Locations: - Princeton - Los Alamos - Chicago - Oak Ridge

Challenges: - Getting own room at Los Alamos - Censorship of letters

Quote: "Feynman is surprised to see how they consider different viewpoints and come to a consensus."

Topics to research: Specifics of the uranium isotope separation process and bomb designs. What was the role of IBM machines and colored card decks?

Its the seamless integration that counts. With the playground for example you can have it read and summarize a near 3 hour video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se91Pn3xxSs

This is another great application of AI, well done

You might have been part of the same crowd generating conspiracy theories! I don't know. But those ideas were a very important part of developing the conviction based communities which promoted it (not a criticism). Firefox usage peaked at 32% apparently 2010 market share against the IE which only had minimal development since early 2000s. Chrome proper>2010 effectively defeated Firefox in two years of issue and became dominant after 3 years. Why so quick? for the conviction based community, Chrome won because of advertising, bundling, and variations of force not because it was fundamentally a nicer experience for end users.

OS bundling is way overrated, historically. People choose the bundled item when they are literally forced to by the vendor, in the way Apple does.

Netscape won the original Browser wars because it was better and faster and smarter. Over time it became slow and bloated as Netscape literally tried to bundle an OS into its browser.

The original IE was faster and smarter than Netscape Navigator, people literally made conspiracy theories about why it was faster.

Microsoft stopped developing IE effectively, then Open-Sourced Firefox came along to challenge, but it was inherited from the same Netscape codebase and made minimal market progress at the time.

Google suddenly came out with Chrome, it was faster, smarter, and cleaner than IE and others. And worked best with google.

Microsoft controlled the OS, but it did not control the web, and in various ways the web said use "Chrome" because Chrome was better.

Many city centers used to be a lot more varied and interesting (and depraved at nights) a few decades back. I guess its possible with falling rents they could become more interesting again.

When the worldwide supply of goods and services becomes scarcer, and the lower and middle classes have too much money. Then the middle and lower classes create inflation for the things they buy. Tackling inflation isn’t even the job of the actual politicians you elect, it is entirely the job of the Central Bank, which is independent of the politicians you elect. Power was ceded to the banking system quite a long time ago, because politicians didn’t trust themselves.

If you look at this excellent chart, it appears the UK central bank allowed inflation to grow for a year before it started tackling it. An earlier intervention would have meant lesser pain now.

This like AOE2, where an enemy quietly cuts through the huge forest and the enemy suddenly appears in your base when most of your army is at the front. Your front is wrecked if you run back, and your game is wrecked if you don’t.

It might be strange to say, but Putin is not an absolute dictator. He could not order the use of nuclear weapons on a whim, and have that obeyed throughout the chain. The Russian system will be much more sophisticated than that. https://thebulletin.org/2022/03/read-the-fine-print-russias-...

It’s the novelty of the situation, even absurdity and even the inspired incredulity……. on the other hand the poor trying to get richer and dying trying does not create new pathways in the brain

Compared to Unix and especially modern operating systems DOS is more comparable to firmware than OS, it was something ultra minimal which basically got out of the way of developers. And being so minimal it allowed IBM PCs to sell for prices below $10,000 (1980s! dollars). This was they key to the success of Microsoft and the IBM PC. You might have created a ‘better’ OS at the time, but no one cared about your fancy slow OS which used all the memory cost a fortune in hardware.

The amazing thing about tech-people and especially developer and related is that they are expected to and required to grasp an understanding of other people’s professions in order provide products/services. So I would actually expect tech-people to be able to talk reasonably about non -tech areas and to be quite happy to be corrected when they are way off the track..

I just checked the enhance images thing and its switched off on multiple machines checked. I dont use Edge for much so this must be the default (Edge is annoying).

This may be a thing with Beta versions of Edge browser but not released versions. I think neowin.net is missleading people in to believing that its the default for the excitement.

Most likely everything is on by default in the beta versions because of beta testing scenarios.....

(1) The sole reason Bitcoin exists is because all governments decide inflate the money supply by printing, and in doing so, they knowingly devalued the efforts and work of everyone who saved their money or relied on fixed income like a pension.

(2) Just this May the USA decided to add 1.5 trillions of inflation on top of the already high levels of inflation people are already experiencing. And I can guarantee that they will do this again and again, in good years and in bad years, both democrats and republicans equally (look at the record, not what they say).

(3) Bitcoin was explicitly created for these reasons, and it has _way_ over succeeded in its goal _financially_.

(4) The other complaints you have are the fault of the government, they have purposely let the space become lawless in the hope that it would diminish the space, or that it would die by itself, but the problem with this is (1), (2) and (3)

For many people inside an defintely outside the USA sphere, theres a lot of utility in holding some cash money in Crypto even as a staging point for payments.

$1500 + for the fastest consumer GPU is one thing, $3500 for a slow computer that wraps around your head with no real application is another. This thing is priced for the US defense dept (its biggest opportunity), and other tiny specialized industries. Even if it were $350, i still would barely be intrested tbh ...

If the article is true I would assume that the most highly intelligent reader would have a great deal of difficulty commenting on the subject in a reasonable about of time, and would most likely end up short circuiting the effort in favour of doing something else …

A product often evolves from something with a very small use-case to something very large. Developers are often critical because they dont consider the resource and time constraints in which a product was originally developed with.

Microsoft GitHub Co-pilot could be viewed entirely as just a more sophisticated indexer and search interface, a indexer of freely available source code on the public internet.

The concerns over copyrighted material ingested and exposed through AI system are the same for copyrighted material ingested by and displayed by our web 2.0 search engines.

So, Microsoft GitHub Co-pilot also indexes publicly accessible content but emits that content differently, however it does not exercise exclusive rights over what it indexes or control access to that content.

The Google Books and Author Guilds axis would have given exclusive monopoly access, distribution, and pricing of the largest collection of digital books in the world – so I don’t believe the comparison between the Google Books project and CoPilot is valid, because we have already accepted the concept of indexing and clipping content on the public internet.
