I wish there was a way to use Whisper for continuous recognition! Unfortunately, Whisper doesn't support streaming — and AFAIK it's unlikely that it ever will.

Yeah, the commenters here are missing a HUGE disruption in the BNPL market. Klarna was already ailing — I wonder if they can survive this punch. Interesting to see how BNPL industry will respond.

Ask your HR Director what share of non-mass hiring hires were made in the last year from responses to job postings. I guarantee it will be less than 20%. This is why the cold job search process is so awful. No one cares about the least effi

That's actually both sad and prescient.

Doesn't this argument also apply all the way down to machine code, though?

Can you elaborate on the minimum legal requirement that you mentioned?

Financial Times, The Times and the BBC all omit the “the”. So I’d say that this is the established form. The “the Ukraine” form was used to refer to Ukrainian territory being part of the USSR or the Russian empire in the past. But the langu

There was a much more pragmatic fundamental reason for the regime to start the war: siloviki don’t tolerate democratic governments on their borders, as they might inspire the repressed population to demand the same democracy. Pride in the e

I think the point is that when cats were intentionally bred, it was for appearance. The natural selection of feral/domestic non-bred cats took its own course.

> This war is only special because the media are putting it in our faces. You don’t even have to do much work to understand that this is simply not true. 97 people were killed in Iraq, but probably tens of thousands of people were killed

I think that's a different logic from what the comment that I was replying to was trying to convey. BTW, you should know that sending money to Russia is almost an impossibility as it is. For example, living in Russia, I couldn't a

Everyone except for the very jingoistic few balks at drone striking weddings and funerals. Everyone hates that! So maybe that's not the modus operandi to which we should compare OSS strategies.

Woah, a case for bombing civilians on Hacker News. How far we’ve come!

By that logic, any harm to any Russians, even those living outside of Russia but e.g. sending money back home, would also negatively affect the development of the Russian economy. How far would you follow that logic? Which Russians should

You've made me reconsider my position and I think you're actually right.

Don't be confused: this is pure virtue signalling by Cogent. If you think that limiting a population's access to imported goods can lead to regime change via "grassroots change", just look at the myriad of counterexample

I think you're right. I've changed my perspective on this issue and added some clarifying comments in the thread.

I think that Carnation Revolution also benefitted from the fact that dictator Salazar, who ruled the country for 37 years, had already been dead for 3 years when it happened.

From the inside, it doesn't quite look that way. The state has been doing a lot to become less reliant on imports in the last decade. If you also consider examples of North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and many other dictatorships, you

As far as I can tell, Namecheap's support team (which has always been excellent) is mostly based in Ukraine. And I understand how difficult it must be to find a way to reconcile this with the fact that Namecheap has customers in Russia

First of all, you missed my submission about Navalny app being blocked by Apple, and also my submission about getting Internet access to information that is not controlled by the government. But more importantly, what? You went through my c

Thinking that "your government represent your people for all the world" is a really privileged point of view.

USD is a shorthand for any foreign currency in Russia. It's really hard to pay for anything in anything other than roubles right now in Russia (which is especially hard if you're trying to leave the country).
