- Yeah, I also read that in the news, which was the thought behind my comment honestly.
- Replace Venezuela with Iraq, and Maduro with Saddam, and read this whole comment section. We never learn.
- I like the idea of using vintage LLMs to study explicit and implicit bias. e.g. text before mid-19th century believing in racial superiority, gender discrimination, imperial authority or slavery. Comparing that to text since then. I'm sure there are more ideas when you use temporal constraints on training data.
- They also search online and return links, though? And, you can steer them when they do that to seek out more "authoritative" sources (e.g. news reports, publications by reputable organizations).
If you pay for it, ChatGPT can spend upwards of 5 minutes going out and finding you sources if you ask it to.
Those sources can than be separately verified, which is up to the user - of course.
- Wouldn't being a UK company not shield you from the "eyes" surveillance apparatus?
- Can you back up your claim that it's slow?
- A side project that takes legal documents and uses TTS models to create a narrated read out of the whole document.
Part of the reason I'm building my own solution is that legal documents are often distributed in PDFs which can have all kinds of formatting issues when converted to plain text. There's also specific jargon and formatting that may or may not need to be included, or spoken, or even spoken differently, that I am finding no commercial TTS platform like ElevenLabs really accounts for well. It's all about the pre-processing and chunking.
Also, the commercial models are expensive when you're routinely throwing dozens of pages of text at it.
- Oh so cool! Do you know of other themes like it, also open source?
- What does it mean though, practically? What could I do with a thread-enabled iPhone?
- Completely agree. I jumped back in recently for some electronics work and was surprised to learn that the Raspberry Pi imaging tool allows you to set the root user, WiFi SSID, and hostname right when you're imaging the tool. You never need to connect it to a display like the old days! Makes onboarding a device for a specific purpose super easy. Been using mine to work with a simple LED matrix from Adafruit. But I am sure I will be acquiring more for all kinds of random projects in the time to come.
- Do you know if there's any kind of writing about the different types of diarization methods?
- Is there speaker detection?
- What can you do with this information, I wonder? Like what's the point?
- Damn. I want to try this, now.
- He finally became mayor officially in 2024: https://www.splcenter.org/resources/stories/newbern-alabama-...
- There's no way to test a generated key to be real, is there? Guess I'll spin up a VM and find out.
- Technology connects us to everything except each other.
- Isn't it true though that they, altogether, fund America's exemplars of cutting edge science? Like, isn't that the point?
- I'm confused. What are you OCR'ing that requires a solution like this? What images are you processing?
- What's the weight on the batteries alone?
- What are some places you feel alone, these days? I imagine it's a highly personal question.
- Assuming this is Federal Court and not States, right?
- I tried to answer that here: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=43686919
- At the time, Instagram had 80 million users, it had no monetization strategy and was profitless[1]. I suppose this made it seem less of an immediate competitive threat to Facebook's business model, especially with the presence of other smaller photo sharing platforms by Google etc.
In 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported that FTC officials in 2012 had concerns about the deal raising antitrust issues. However, they were apprehensive about potentially losing an antitrust case in court if they sued to block the deal.[2] If they would lose then on the merits of trying to enforce the Clayton Act, it would set a precedent that likely could not be undone.

- Messages are. I do not believe that metadata about the messages are, however. So they know who you're speaking to, at what frequency, and from where.
- I think you're right. There's another thing, too, where the opposition is unable to provide a coherence that speaks to the pervasive sense of 'wrong' and provide stability in identity that you mention.
Indeed, their idea of being coherent is not only maintaining the status quo that enables those two things, but doubling down. When challenged, they nest in the politics that the Republicans once espoused and have left behind, than realizing that there's a reason those messages and values have shifted by the maga right's successes. It should come as no wonder then that they lose ground year after year from desperate people looking for comfort from the political class.
- Well said.
