That are just going to go away. Not just Duolingo but a whole ton of stuff that gets translated.

I can tell you it's not perfect yet though. It is stupidly obvious when Crunchyroll uses AI subs. The AI will also try to sub damn near anything text so that random background text will end up getting subtitled and obstructing everything.

Because you want to talk to people. And because you want to understand the nuances of the language.

None of this stuff works with Chinese or Japanese books that aren't just technical books as an example. Especially chinese. AI also still struggles with Chinese a lot of the time when it's not just really basic.

GOP are the ones who tend to ban porn.

As usual, it depends on the specifics and trade-offs.

Being able to format an email properly and include screenshots in line and in their proper context is important. It helps quickly get points across that might otherwise be lost.

It's there because when a breach inevitably happens you can point to the training during a lawsuit and say that you weren't negligent. That's all it's for. It's just liability protection.

What is cheaper than solar? Even solar plus battery?

People will buy more batteries so they can store and use the energy themselves.

They are going to end up making it cost effective to simply leave the grid entirely, or set up a community micro grid to replace it.

Efficiency isn't all that important for most solar applications. There is plenty of sunlight, and plenty of unused space to harvest it.

It always comes back to cost, and solar PV is the cheapest form of energy production going. Even for their target application of creating medicines, they are competing against PV+battery so it needs to be extremely cheap.

If Xi tells you, he'll have to kill you.

Scientifically or logically prove it, and I'll give you $1k.

Most people only care about languages running on Linux or Windows. And if the compiler/interpreter is written in C or C++, the language can probably run on just about any OS (perhaps with some IO compatibility issues.)

And I haven't seen a good answer for the alleged resurgence of Perl.

Tab Overflow: Markdown for timelines, AI for 78s, the superpower of being glue, and maddog on Red Hat August 2, 2023 2 min zonker brockmeower_a_cat_reading_books_in_the_style_of_Dave_Mckean_cb94a643-994e-4083-914d-1eb9b8b98148 Still working on the next installment of the Clone Wars, but in the meantime some interesting things I’ve stumbled on the past few days. AI Audio Challenge: Audio Restoration of 78rpm Records — The Internet Archive is looking for “a program that can take all or many of the 400,000 unrestored records” in its 78rpm archive and clean them up. They have 1,600 examples of 78s that were cleaned up manually by humans, and are hoping that they can be used to train a program to do the work in an automated fashion. See also: AI@IA — Extracting Words Sung on 100 year-old 78rpm records.I have a lot of concerns how AI* is and will be used overall, but automating restoration and preservation of materials seems like a really good use of these tools. (*Some folks are very pedantic about terms like AI. I am not one of them, so I’m just being lazy and saying “AI.” Sorry.) Valuing undervalued superpowers: Being Glue — Great post on julia ferraioli’s blog about “Being Glue” by Tanya Reilly. Part of julia’s “Influential Articles” series, this one looks at the importance of “glue work” and how it gets overlooked or considered non-essential. Instead, the argument here is that glue work skills are superpowers even though doing a lot of glue work means you’re less likely to succeed career-wise.If you’ve done any job interviewing lately you may recognize questions that ask you to highly your individual, personal accomplishments and not what you’ve done to help teams succeed. You can have 1,000 instances of how you’ve helped a project or organizations succeed but nobody cares. They want the big thing you launched, etc.

And it's not cooperative. People expect to be compensated for it. They're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

And is I already made clear it allows people to let the grid collapse and still have electricity for themselves. Or at least it makes them think they can. It's already two or three prepper types who think they don't need civilization commenting on here.

And Jesus fucking Christ man how the hell is wanting a proper and fully functional electric grid hipster? Are you just using that as a generic insult because you're right wing twat and you think it's the worst thing you can think of? Christ I think you're actually older than your dad.

But we really need is to harness the Boomer particles you emit for energy. We would have send to a higher plane of existence with that much electricity.

What I'm saying is I'm sick and fucking tired of old people tearing down civilization and thinking they're going to get away with it. The really old ones, I can't tell if you're one of them because boomers are now indistinguishable from anyone over 50, they might die beforehand. Before everything collapses because of their incredible stupidity ignorance greed and general desire to fuck shit up just because they're fucking God damn 12-year-olds.

Hell of a way for our entire civilization to collapse. People acting like fucking children when they're in the body of 50 60 or 70 year old men
