My usage limits were reset this morning. I'm already 90% through my weekly limits. This have _never_ happened before. They should reset the limits for everyone.

The only reason I don't use tmux is because of how annoying it is to look at scrollback. Am I using it wrong?

Because they can't as a result of private equity firms and hedge funds buying houses for investment purposes. Without legislation, people are going to be renting for the rest of their lives like modern day serfs.

It's not "casual". Did you read the paper I linked?

Main reason is due to purging of β-amyloid by the glymphatic system, which seems to happen during deep sleep. High β-amyloid plaque build up is correlated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Of course, what you're saying is obvious. I'm just asking questions to get people to think about the ramifications of technology. Society is the sum of all the individual choices people make, which are influenced and amplified by technology, either for good or bad.

A woman can choose to decouple having sex with getting pregnant.

How does that change the social dynamics of mating? Is increasing promiscuity a good thing?

A person can choose to live hundreds of miles away from their family yet still visit them every weekend.

A person can choose to move to a new country, halfway around the world, and still have their parents be > able to see and converse with the grandchildren every night.

Why did this person choose to move physically away from their tribe? To slave away at a job they don't care about? Would they have chosen to move away if the tech to communicate long distance didn't exist?

I can choose to talk to a person who speaks another language and have a computer translate for us.

Is it good to use translation tech as a crutch and not emotionally immerse yourself in the culture?

I can choose to have my tooth decay treated without experiencing horrific pain.

Why do you have a poor diet? Why do you consume so much sugar? Why don't you brush and floss?

A compound fracture is not an automatic sentence of death or lifelong severe disability.

Do you take more risks because you know that a fracture won't end you since medicine can heal you?

It seems to me that technology is often used as a band-aid solution. Or it enables certain types of behaviors that when proliferated on a societal level can have drastic consequences.

It’s ok to be cringe. Try expressing yourself sometime instead of always conforming.

Am I the only one who doesn't want this dystopian future? "Designed for living in the moment"?...no, this is definitely the exact opposite of living in the moment.

Do you really need to upgrade your 3 year old iPhone if you think about it? Those are still quite fast and can do everything you need. To me it seems like a waste, but you do you.

Your words have a lot of power. You become what you repeatedly say about yourself. If you just changed this one thing, not thinking negatively about yourself or the future, it would change your entire life. You have a lot more power than you think you do. Focus on the things you can change right now. Look around your room. I'm sure you can find at least one thing that needs fixing. Be blessed internet friend.

I feel like this is an epic joke. Except the joke is on all the suckers paying $1k for essentially the same phone, but wow, now with a usb-c port. Please Tim Apple...take my money faster. Even better, please strap it to my head so I can be even more disconnected from other people.

step 1: save up money and pay off debt step 2: sell all your possessions except laptop, clothes and a few other things step 3: find remote job step 4: move to SE Asia, join an expat community, enjoy a low cost of living lifestyle

Been working on this for 3-4 months. Summarizes YouTube videos and synthesizes podcasts that you can listen to. Also has transcripts so you can follow along. Click on the timestamp to jump ahead.

Summarization target percentage is set to about 50%. So if you want to listen to a Lex Friedman podcast, this can save you half the time.

I'm just pointing out that there is a lot of legal gray area when it comes to AI-synthesized voices and copyright. It still remains to be seen how the courts end up ruling.

What's the difference between using an AI voice and Bill Hader or Jimmy Fallon doing a celebrity impersonation on his show and monetizing that?

Actually, according to US law, it doesn't appear to be copyright infringement. Do you have anything to back up those claims?

According to Butler v. Target Corp., it was held that although lyrics to a song are copyrightable, the underlying voice is not. As such, there is no copyright protection available to the infinite number of words or phrases a person might utter in their distinctive voice.

Additionally, the synthesized audio can be considered derivative, as it transforms the the "audio" into something entirely different than original, and so falls under 17 U.S.C.A § 103.

So, I'm not sure what you mean when you say there are plans for tighter controls. Care to back that up?

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this is my personal opinion.

Podshorty does something kind of similar, but it takes any YouTube link, summarizes it and generates a podcast using the voices of the original speakers. Also creates transcripts so you can follow along. https://www.podshorty.com

Started a company to build chip testers. Didn't go anywhere, but I had a ton of fun doing the hardware and software. One specific example is writing a Linux driver to interact with your IP block running on the FPGA. Got to see what happens on the other side of the kernel.

what are you talking about. George has been working on comma.ai for years. It's shipping actual products and has revenue.

We need more people who "think different" and push back against the status quo instead of carrying out ad hominem attacks on public forums.

If you don’t build it, someone else most definitely will. This has already become an AI arms race.

Why not just use pgvector for Postgres. It’s free and works great. You can even do cosine distance between embeddings.

In the future, Google will stop supporting Manifest V2 in Chrome. Because of this change, in 2023, the 1Password classic extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave will no longer be supported.

If you have a standalone vault, you’ll need to migrate to a 1Password > membership to use 1Password in your browser.

Anyone else frustrated by this?

Because it's path of least resistance, but not a path to well being.

I think people crave real world connection, not another iDevice that's strapped to your head.

It's not even only children, it's literally everyone. Who thought it would be a good idea to put a screen in everyone's hand with infinite content that's engineered to be highly addictive. It's a fucking no-brainer.

I don't understand. Didn't he use Stripe Connect? All the accounts are then siloed out and have to pass KYC. Is it just because he let them keep selling knowing full well that they are doing something sketch?

Had way too many errors trying to set things up, so I just switched to render.com, which I love.

https://prodbump.com/ - sell digital products, memberships and more in less than one minute.

You keep 99% of sales after payment processing fees. No monthly fees either.

You should check out prodbump.com, they only charge 1% (plus stripe fees). Seems like they have a pretty clean interface.
