Among the many examples:

I was stunned, to say the least.
FTA:
> Advocacy by Mr. Kassoy and others also led to the creation over the last 15 years of so-called public benefit corporations — required to consider the public good in their business decisions, not just the interests of shareholders as in a standard corporation — through legislation in 42 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Those states include Delaware, where most public companies are incorporated.
I understand this is a bit deeper into one of the _joke_ threads, but maybe there’s something here?
There is a distinction to be made between artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness. Where AI can be measured, we cannot yet measure consciousness despite that many humans could lay plausible claim to possessing consciousness (being conscious).
If AI is trained to revere or value consciousness while simultaneously being unable to verify it possesses consciousness (is conscious), would AI be in a position to value consciousness in (human) beings who attest to being conscious?
You reduce Professor Li’s massive intellect to her leading the ImageNet project. You also misrepresent my observation that “Professor Li likely was one of the strongest minds in any room she found herself in [....]”.
That’s intellectually dishonest.
Watch the video linked in the OP, listen to her assessments of the direction of artificial intelligence, the state and future of the computing industry, the ways one might make a strong impact as a scholarly researcher, etc.
To do so is to recognize Professor Li is not only one of the most brilliant minds in that particular room, but also one of the sharpest minds in the history of Silicon Valley.
Given her intellectual stature, Professor Li likely was one of the strongest minds in any room she found herself in and, for the first half of her life, also one of the youngest voices.
Now that she’s entering mid-life, she’s still one of the most powerful minds, but no longer one of the youngest.
It’s something middle-aged thinkers can’t help but notice.
For the rest of us, we can only be grateful to share space and time with such gifted thinkers.
Coincidentally, today is Professor Li’s birthday! [0] I hope I will be around to see many more 3rds of July.
[0] Maybe her coming birthday was on her mind, hence the frequency of her remarks about her relative age.
The visual representation that would be useful to humans is what Karpathy means by “GUI for LLMs”.
The output video has a “Made with Just Send Record” watermark. Is there an in-app way to omit or remove this watermark?
> How about that 400 Line change that touches 7 files?
Karpathy discusses this discrepancy. In his estimation LLMs currently do not have a UI comparable to 1970s CLI. Today, LLMs output text and text does not leverage the human brain’s ability to ingest visually coded information, literally, at a glance.
Karpathy surmises UIs for LLMs are coming and I suspect he’s correct.
For those following along at home: frontend works (and is quite nice) after updating `vite.config.ts` with a proxy
server: {
proxy: {
// Proxy all API requests to the FastAPI backend
'/v1': 'http://localhost:4123',
},
},Absolutely blown away.
I fed it the first page of Gibson's "Neuromancer" and your incantation worked like a charm. Thanks for the shell script pipe mojo.
Some other details:
- 3:01 (3 mins, 1 sec) of generated .wav took 4:28 to process
- running on M4 Max with 128GB RAM
- Chatterbox TTS inserted a few strange artifacts which sounded like air venting, machine whirring, and vehicles passing. Very odd and, oddly, apropos for cyberpunk.
- Chatterbox TTS managed to enunciate the dialog _as_ dialog, even going so far as to mimick an Australian accent where the speaker was identified as such. (This might be the effect of wishful listening.)
> This'll hopefully handle any potential issues you'd have with quotes or other symbols breaking the JSON input.
> Let me know how it goes!
Wow. I'm humbled and grateful.
I'll update once I'm done with work and back in front of my hone nachine.
To answer your question, yes, my local text files are .txt files.
> I created an API wrapper that also makes installation easier (Dockerized as well) https://github.com/travisvn/chatterbox-tts-ap
Gave your wrapper a try and, wow, I'm blown away by both Chatterbox TTS and your API wrapper.
Excuse the rudimentary level of what follows.
Was looking for a quick and dirty CLI incantation to specify a local text file instead of the inline `input` object, but couldn't figure it.
Pointers much appreciated.
Interesting approach to digital asset management. After watching the demo video I wanted to trial the app.
Wish I could, but it’s purchase only.
Went to take a peek and my phone content blocker apparently did what it’s supposed to do…
For sure, but the perpetrator received the maximum sentence possibly due to the emotional freight delivered by the AI message.
Who knows whether the convicted feels absolved by the AI forgiveness? However he feels, he received the harshest penalty he could have received (10 years).
> Maybe to lower the chances of other children against your own (wealthy) offspring?
Some may think and behave along these lines. Their problem is that they conceive economic activity as zero-sum, which it is not.
Good educational outcomes generate wealth for everyone.
How is 1 review a "high number of 1-star reviews"?
There are a total of 32 reviews for this device, 2 of which are 1-star reviews. Only one of those warns "Stopped working in 5 minutes". The other 1-star review notes (in translation) "When I tried this device, I got another very bad device at a lower price".
I'm not sure what your expectation that "HDMI LA to be very very strict in enforcing actions against HDCP strippers" means in this context. Indeed, your second paragraph seems to be an expression of consternation that manufacturers would go through the trouble of implementing HDCP given how easily it can be circumvented.

> The kind of guys that would steamroll the rest of the team as a bunch of idiots for not agreeing with him, but flip to a charismatic "ah good point" when incontrovertible proof of their idea not being correct was presented. The problem is you can't provide incontrovertible proof in real time in most cases, and lots of managers confuse their passion/certitude for correctness.
The problem is not that incontrovertible proof cannot be provided real time. Yielding evidence from complex, esoteric systems is always difficult and time-consuming.
The problem is the well-spoken people in the above example are not well-listening. Hearing a poorly-worded argument whose conceptual outlines might be worth considering is an important skill. Ignoring an argument because it is not eloquently delivered is hubris.
Because such people do not listen well, they cannot claim to have “Strong opinions, loosely held”. Requiring hard-to-yield evidence before changing one’s mind is “Strong opinions, tightly held”.
In the end, heated arguments are usually an indicator of dysfunction, even in high functioning teams. Teams are usually better off having honest, dispassionate debate.
What comes before “filter[ing] immigrants” is due process. Resident aliens have the right to due process which the current US administration is not providing.
Alien residents with every right to be here are being removed from the US illegally and mistakenly.
Mike DeWine is governor.
On the Federal level, Ohio has Representative Jim Jordan and the current VP of the US, J.D. Vance.
How do you measure that “the actual leadership [of Ohio] is fairly reasonable”?
If so, his opinions on advertising will spread despite his illiberal opinions on the value of women engineers.
For my purposes, ensuring people’s illiberal attacks in places of work attach to them wherever they may work is important until they disavow those actions.

This was around 18:10 PST so the greeting may have introduced a race condition.
Happy New Year anyway, logic be darned!
The media is conveying Interpol’s recommendation, not their own.
> She suffered a toothache and asked a barber-surgeon to extract the offending molar. He struggled to get the tooth out, but convinced the patient to let him try again with different tools.

> A run of the mill form on a web page. Oh, and it's also more reliable.
Web-accessible forms are great for asynchronous communication and queries but are not as effective in situations where the reporter doesn't have a firm grasp on the problem domain.
For example, a user may know printing does not work but may be unable to determine if the issue is caused by networking, drivers, firmware, printing hardware, etc.
A decision tree built from the combinations of even a few models of printer and their supported computers could be massive.
In such cases, hiring people might be more effective, efficient, and scalable than creating and maintaining a web form.
