You gotta chill on your Jr.
It’s a markup language for gods sake. That’s like being pissed at someone asking why you have a “d” but not a “p” for your printing press. You answer the question and move on because it’s a tidbit, not a foundational concept.
The comments were a circlejerk that the technology is good and the future and people merely hate Altman. At least last I looked.

I saw this yesterday.
Not going to see my feed is saturated with them… but at the same time I’ve seen them

My browser was snitching on my battery, charging, and even device orientation (to the degree).


Not at all. Not even a little bit.
Human-to-human transmission is extremely rare.
You get it from mouse shit. It’s significantly more likely that the people who got it were all exposed to the same mouse shit than it is that they gave it to each other.
You should be way more worried about the mice on that ship coming off and shitting.
Edit: This strain is a little contagious. Still shouldn’t be concerned.


I still think it’s good advice FOR DATING.
If you’re a pile of shit, then regardless of if you’re dating, married, or single you should be taking active steps to learn and grow into the best version of yourself. “Be yourself” is not an instruction to stagnate.
Specifically for dating, don’t invent a personality or persona. IF the person falls for you, they didn’t fall for you… they fell for a fabrication. For someone who doesn’t exist. That’s a super shitty thing to do to someone else.
“Pretend to be the person someone else wants you to be for the express purpose of getting them emotionally invested in you” might be the most toxic advice there is. It disregards the agency of the other person. It disrespects them entirely. It implies the ends justify the means.


Completely agree, actually.
This isn’t what I think someone should do. It is morally abhorrent. This is just a contrived scenario to try and prime an intuition to help OP understand why small changes in supply can have outsized effects on price.
If at any point someone sees human suffering or danger and thinks “profit opportunity”, I have a hard time understanding why that person should be permitted to continue to participating in society freely.


If there are 300 life jackets on a sinking ship being sold for $10 each on a ship with 300 people on it. No problem.
No, imagine there are only 299 life jackets on that sinking ship.
The 2 people who want the last life jacket might be willing to bid quite a bit higher than $10 for it, even though the supply only shrank by a fraction of a percent.
In short, supply reduction doesn’t carry enough information on its own to imply how much the price will increase. “How fucked are the customers competing to buy the remaining product if they can’t get it” is the other key factor.


And a seatbelt has never saved my life?

I respect the effort in constructing a more nuanced take. I just think that most of your points are ignorant.
The idea that automation is intrinsically beneficial to humanity is extremely dubious.
And, to borrow a quote, I am not able to rightfully apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke the statement “I’m in favor of AI being developed as long as there is economic interest in it”.


Were you born in 84?
Season 3 CLOSING theme is where it’s at


Culture changes generationally, often reactionary. Old things become new.
Old tends/fashions come back into style, often because there was something compelling and novel about them in the first place. We see it with romanticized aesthetics but I think social organization sees similar patterns.
Anyways, that preamble was for my naive and optimistic pitch that at some point, we’ll see a wholesale rejection of AI and see a Renaissance of in-person socialization and art. Hippies, beat nicks, bars with live local talent, social clubs like the Elks and Shriners… shit like that, I think it’s due for a big comeback.
Not tomorrow. Maybe 20 years… but if there is any modern constant, it’s for children to reject the lifestyles of thier parents.


I feel like gen z caught the full destruction of 3rd spaces that melenials still caught the tail end of.
I’d love a community space to share my knowledge of pre-zuck-thiel tech with. I feel like the complete destruction of 3rd spaces are part of why there is such poor knowledge xfer between z and millennials


OPs question is just any audio that strikes the listener as being a “real” sound. Doesn’t have to be long. Doesn’t have to be a song.
Because it just has to be “a” “real sound” i think there is an inherent measure of subjectivity. I might think a sound sounds like something you might not.
I think I’d approach this differently. I’d just pick a short time frame (maybe 0.5s) and generate 64kbs (PCM bitrate) worth of noise.
What percentage of those should have waveforms with any shape whatsoever within the domain of human perception. (What percent of random noise has the possibility of representation of a limited physical system interacting with the atmosphere in a way the human ear could perceive it)
Then, of that, subjectivity what percentage of those sounds “sound like a thing”.


The minimal sequence of bits required to produce a sound of a voice recognizably saying something is many many many many orders of magnitude greater than a phone number.


Everyone is doing a terrible job of explaining, but they’re right.
Gravity, 1G, is described on terms of an acceleration. 9.81m/s2.
What is an acceleration? Is is the rate of change of a velocity. If a velocity changes slowly, it means the acceleration is low. If the velocity changes quickly, the acceleration is high.
Now, imagining a record player. Or cd player. Or your spinning wheel of choice:
You know that points farther away from the center are moving faster in absolute terms compared to points closer to the center.
Because the points farther from the center have a larger velocity, that means after some rotation, the total change of velocity for the outer points must be larger than the change of velocity for inner points. So, points farther away must have greater acceleration.
So, the apparent acceleration changes according to how far things are from the center point. This is why it really isn’t the case that it would be 1G everywhere. 1G is a specific acceleration, if if we’ve established that acceleration isn’t constant across the radius, then it can be 1 G only at one spot, not all.
It’s still just a matter of political will.
You would be AMAZED at how quickly things would be fixed. At rates previously claimed “beyond impossible”, IF governments “pulled the plug” until things were fixed… rather than issuing fines or providing grace periods (and subsequent extensions).
I’ve worked at places that would just eat compliance fines (not for health). Just straight up eat them. They put a token team on it… but continually divert that time to other tasks.
The companies that claim these things cannot be done are the same ones who said they couldn’t survive without slavery, with any environmental regulations, with a 5 day work week, without being able to use child labour, with a minimum wage, without strikebreakers etc etc etc. It’s literally industries job to push back on anything that cuts into thier bottom line at all. It’s governments job to say “bullshit”
