speech to speech is not nearly as good as livekit IMO ("old school" sequence of transcribe, LLM, synthesize). depends on what you're doing of course, but this is just because the LLMs are just way smarter than the speech to speech models which are pretty much the worst (again IMO) at anything beyond basic banter. and livekit is just a framework so you can hook it up with any models in the stack. im not an expert on the local parts but i would assume this pretty easy to glue together.
> And spoiler, zero american politicians are pro-china.
..Other than, well possibly, Trump. Maybe not directly, but the Tiktok deal, withdrawing from the TPP, the eventual outcome of the trade war, the praise for Xi—all stands to benefit China at the expense of the US.
> I don't really have respect for this idea; we do this to ourselves far more effectively than people who frankly have a pretty hamfisted cultural understanding- just as we have of china or russia.
You misrepresented my position to make it easier to attack.
When I brought up the position(s) that people who asked questions or were curious about certain topics got shut down and labeled as having psychosis you responded with bringing is a representation of my position as vaccine skepticism.
I remember hearing about psychosis in popular mainstream media. Look I can see you have a strong opinion and belief system around what "reputable" means, and won't actually ever communicate it to me since you are the arbiter of truth and justice - You can look it up what the psychosis is yourself. You seem to like Wikipedia so start there.
When I talk to people about videos we both watched, I'm struck by how much more they remember. Meanwhile I can lecture about any book I've read while other people can barely scrap together a sentence. Different mediums engage different brains.
> Or you could get a MacBook and boot Linux on that. Some older ones work well, I hear.
Is linux support on the M1/M2 models as good as linux support on x86 laptops? My understanding was that there's still a fair bit of hardware that isn't fully supported. Like, external displays and Bluetooth.
> The process at work here is not that particular human capacities, for instance, the intellect, suddenly atrophy or fail. Instead, it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence, and, more or less consciously, give up establishing an autonomous position toward the emerging circumstances.
> The term [stupidity], he said, wasn’t a description of intellectual acuity, but of social responsibility. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person, or to a group of persons, while deriving no gain for himself, and possibly incurring losses.
I think this is more of cool tech but anyone stupid enough to install and use this on the road is in a world of hurt. HN downvotes for no reason at all - take your points and shove it up your ass
Agreed. I also prefer conformity over sporadic use of new features going against an already set of standards in a codebase. it's overall less cognitive load on whoever is reading it imho.
I'm unimpressed. What they've concretely seen is black Teslas driving behind two robotaxis.
They spin that into a viral story that the safety monitor was just moved to a following car. That might be true, but like the story says, it makes no sense.
So maybe there just happened to be two other Teslas in Austin traffic. It is the most sold car model in the country.
When I read this title I imagined active sitting to mean something like sitting in a rocking chair. To call sitting active because someone is using their brain seems even more stretched. We already know that you need to exercise your body and brain. Do we really need a term for different kinds of sitting to make us feel better about at least using our brain while our body decays?

Well running an investment firm into the ground is more legal than using deposited funds in an exchange to bail out an investment firm that is being run into the ground.
I found this pretty interesting, but would love to either see external inputs (news feed), or perhaps give the models more space. It seems like they might start collaborating more fully if they only had more space.
It would be smart but as I understand they are doing the opposite, taking measures to lock down the electronics in future vehicles. Many (most?) of them have already been thwarting owner access to certain diagnostics for years.
We badly need right to repair and right to tinker laws. Or better yet a "thou shall not employ DRM against the legal owner of a device" commandment.
The engineers who developed this developed it to a spec so that microsoft demanded that allows them to get into the system at any time. There was nothing lazy about it. This would be easily found by anyone who has the impetus to encrypt their drive. Don't put things on your work laptop that you don't want Dom down in IT reading all of it or Phil the police forensics dick
No tin-foil hat needed. There is published research documenting that this is happening [0] on certain topics and there is a lot of reason to believe it is happening in others. Yes, I'm not saying China is the only source of the state of our domestic discontent; but it's fuel to the fire and will be used against us at times in the future when we need national cohesion. See also [1] a 60 minutes episode on a related thread of China infiltrating the US in other ways.
It's not a negative emotion at all. It makes me feel great! I fully realize that many people won't do this, so it's not like I'm expecting my little 'mini boycotts' to have any meaningful material impact on the people engaging in dubious business practices. I do it because it makes me feel good. The fact that it's overall a good thing for society, even better if more people did it, is just a pleasant side effect.
In my comment history can be found a comment much like yours.
Then Opus 4.5 was released. I had already had my Windsurf global rules + workspace rules set up. Also, my project was React/Vite/Refine.dev/Antd/Supabase... known patterns.
My point is that given all that, I can now deploy amazing features that "just work," in a single prompt. I still review all commits, but they are now 95% correct on front end, and >75% on Postgres migrations.
Is it magic? Yes. What's worse is that I believe Dario. In a year or so, most people will just create their own Loom or Monday.com SaaS with a one page request. Will it production ready? No. Will it have all the features that everyone wants? No. But if sonnet 3.5 (Nov 2024) scale to Opus 4.5 (Nov 2025) is a thing, then we are mostly fucked.
Investors? No.
Customers? They were paid the cash value of their crypto holdings at the time of bankruptcy. Thanks to a massive bull run in crypto between bankruptcy and payout, customers were able to be paid back in “full” even with the fraud. However, when BTC is sitting at $60k and your missing BTC is being paid back at $17k, you’re not exactly going to be feeling giddy.
A boy is like a girl.
A skinny human is like a human that is not skinny.
A car is like a wagon.
All obvious, all pointless.
