That explains a lot. Fair enough, then. They should probably look into getting an English copywriter though.

Also, it's hard for proponents, often those in AI companies, to avoid coming off as either buying into their own hype, or otherwise just pushing the marketing for their product. The AI person is so convinced that AI will be so good tha

This is the best one so far. Combine that with the 'if you refresh this page the text will disappear' from another poster and I think we have a very workable error message that outlines the issue, solution, and due caution necessa

The (obvious) Chinese players on the US wow servers were always good farmers (aka cheaters), but perhaps counter intuitively, if you managed to befriend them, they were usually pretty cool people. Very friendly, would chat back and forth in

Why sadly? I’m quite happy with windows, thank you very much. I have just as many gripes against MacOs as I’m sure you do against windows.

This could be interesting. Can the dead be charged with crimes? Can they be posthumously convicted? I’m sure the system would quickly find that the party in question is in fact alive in this case, but fun to ponder idly on.

Products and services. Presumably they were alluding to things like software, electronics, manufacturing, consulting, banking, shipping, and other such things which drive the more advanced economies. An economy built almost exclusively on r

Good question. I guess I don't have any expectation that someone would. I was just stuck by the somewhat aggressive tone and strength of their statement. When people talk so aggressively I prefer to see them putting their money where t

Very true, which is part of why I don't have any positions on anything myself. But OP had a timeframe of 'until the end of the year'. If I felt strongly about something and had a timeframe like that, I'd place some bets.

I have no skin in this game myself, nor do I have any strong opinions one way or the other (though I too have a hard time imagining truly useful LLM-based solutions), but if you're willing to speak with such conviction, I'd like t

You might be familiar with NSA as an offensive agency interested in subverting security systems, but it's actually composed of two separate and often warring divisions, the second of which is defensive in nature and is interested in se

YouTube's automatic captions do this for any word on an ambiguous blacklist. Not only is this annoying when reading the captions, but I imagine that for the hearing impaired, it would also be condescending to have Google tell you what

Said in jest, but unironically good advice unless you fully own the environment.

Right, but like a sibling poster pointed out, they've been using Cyrillic, so the migration is similar, at least.

I actually love counterfeit consciousness as a way to describe AI as we have it presently.

Exactly zero of my mathematics professors, and a large portion of my CS professors managed to adequately account for this. The professors of mine who did manage it remain firmly in my memories as great people and great teachers, while the o

It’s heartwarming to hear that /g/ has apparently not changed even one iota from when I last looked at it in high school 15 years ago.

Don't denigrate him, he's done the one thing that is simultaneously most likely to affect change at a company, and also the hardest thing for an individual to do: vote with their wallet. He's right, Spotify does deserve les

I can think of ten thousand things I'd like the Spotify player to do. - First of all, stop changing the layout every goddamn day - Stop pushing podcasts - Better 'ignore' functionality so I can listen to something without it

Given that you chose to quote from a noted white supremacist scholar, it is likely fair to assume that you fall on the same side as the hypothetical impending dictatorship. In that case, sure, the dictatorship will get something done for yo

This defeatist attitude is unhelpful. Are you prepared to lose nearly everything come November? What will you do when the dictatorship looms over you, will you accept your dwindling freedoms? What would cause you to actually stand up for yo

With the words "heist" and "Taco Bell", I thought for sure it was going to be a repeat of Operation Soda Steal.

I do recall the Fisher-Price complaints. As I recall it mostly came from the Linux (or Linux-inclined) crowd. I never really understood the complaints, though it was common enough that I must have just been missing something. But really, I

There was definitely a kind of warm, optimistic vibe that came with the Windows XP wallpaper. The whole UI language of the OS was similar too, with bubbly blues and greens everywhere. I suppose it captured a kind of positive cultural attitu

I dunno, Universities can often behave like soviets. I was pushed through a university kangaroo court at Northeastern where they tried to (falsely) pin a charge of destruction of the university wifi network on me. They were threatening susp

Yeah for sure. But is it being done for the huge back catalog of much older podcasts? Maybe the big players already have teams of people hunting for old ad breaks, but this could alleviate the burden.

by vsnf 2y ago
Right now someone, somewhere, is thinking of a way to use this to identify the ad portions in old podcasts and overlay new, perpetually relevant, dynamic ads.
