Bleeding edge TTS is 95% as good as human actors, at least for the audiobooks I consume. I think that for vast majority of audiobooks, the era of human readers has come to an end. That said AFAIK Audible buys audibooks from partners and doe

My understanding is that it's quite hard to make convex objects with radiance fields, right? For example the furniture in OP would be quite problematic. We can create radiance fields with photogrammetry, but IMO we need much better alg

First time hearing about this. I'm surprised the whole region isn't massively degenerated after centuries of traditional incest. The numbers are pretty staggering

You can easily make maybes in the other direction too - maybe they maintain their absolute market dominace, like Intel for years and years. Maybe they come with a technology jump that will be hard to beat for a long time, like M1. We are pr

Does that imply that everyone who started with more money than Musk now has even more money than Musk? Or perhaps it implies that you just can't ever get poorer? I don't think its possible, or fair, to reduce success to a single d

Wow I didn't even think of this. Truly a brilliant move that intends to kill the open web on two fronts at once.

Wow that's a cool evolutionary algorithm in practice! I'm actually surprised it worked, especially with the amount of fuzzing I'd expect ssh ecosystem to receive (well perhaps the servers do, but not the clients haha).

Is this what the whole argument about intelligence is about? That you don't want to cause suffering and only species of certain intelligence can suffer and others can't, thus you are not feeling guilt when killing and eating thing

Yes, comprised/utilize doesn't really matter because you will know from context, but biweekly is really tricky. For example "we have biweekly sprint ceremonies on monday and friday" can be very confusing.

It's funny that on one hand people are preaching about Time To First Byte and SSR and what not, and on the other people from CF/Vercel and others are massively investing into serverless which almost by definition has to have drast

You setup CORS on your backend, it does not matter where or how you frontend works. IMO biggest problem is that if your website is public facing, then just having an SPA is bad for crawlers and not great for UX.

I've switched to running new projects on Remix after using Next.js for many years. Remix is just much more sane. Next.js feels like they are aiming to statically precompile everything and do some automagic with the rest all the while l

I'm in the same boat as I haven't read or watched the news deliberately for years. The important stuff is going to get through to me anyway. But people need to have an option to know. You need access to information for healthy soc

Missing standard downstream promise cancellation is arguably one of the bigger problems in the whole javascript ecosystem. In C# almost every async function has a CancellationToken parameter, same in Go with Context. Even after years of wri

WASM could be such an IR unironically https://github.com/nebulet/nebulet . But I doubt that we would be gaining performance/efficiency this way.

There could be price savings too, right? Two motors less and simpler ESC gotta save something.

I really wonder if total cost of ownership/energy required to run a cluster of old android phones would actually be lower than one or two servers. The phones are ARM, will have battery issues (esp if they run 24/7) so you need to

Thank you for the link. I have a project with plenty of structured data from which I create summaries and short articles. Currently I'm generating prompts with context inside the prompt. GPT Index seems to pretty well fitted to that us

The voices are really amazing, I couldn't really tell that they are synthetic and I was looking for it. The only issue is that the actual recordings sound like they have been overcompressed, or poorly recorded - is there any way to imp

Everyone is different, I read rather slow and can ingest the article much quicker with audio (esp. sped up audio) than by reading it.

While brain has vastly more computing resources, they are probably operating very far from the theoretical optimum. There must be so much baggage, inefficiency and dead pathways left which do not have much purpose at all. The brain was evol

Having worked with ASP.NET and other templating engines way back when and now working with React, I can say that there is a world of difference between the ease of composability of ASP.NET templates and React components. People really want

The problem I think is that JWT is just a small puzzle piece of a great artwork that is identity and auth. It is overly complex (not without reason) and people don't put in enough effort to learn the whole picture (and it just isn&#x27

What's wrong with using JWTs? What you have done should be industry standard and is enabled by the JWK spec. In fact several features of OpenID Connect are built upon signed JWTs from a well-known JWK store.

Could you create an unbounded loop by scheduling another BPF execution on the end of each program? I imagine something like a WASM runtime that would be split into multiple BPF programs on loops. Which would practically achieve https:&#x2F
