I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

OpenAI says Sky voice in ChatGPT will be paused after concerns it sounds too much like Scarlett Johansson (www.tomsguide.com)

The company says the voices in ChatGPT were from paid voice actors. A final five were selected from an initial pool of 400 and it's purely a coincidence the unnamed actress behind the Sky voice has a similar tone to Johansson....

Aatube ,

I don't get why that causes downvotes

Aatube OP ,

So you're saying that we associate the surf music sound with ocean because musicians decided to put surfing lyrics on that sound for whatever reason?

Aatube OP ,

yeah, just listen to the electric guitar in spongebob

Aatube OP ,

Interesting. I'm talking more about stuff like the (TV series's) ending theme and the "steel sting" though. Loop de loop doesn't particularly sound like it, though Ocean Man kinda does.

Aatube OP ,

"Oh, Susana" has 5-tone verses. Or, did you mean temperament (which I assume means the "distance" between the tones) when you said "move away".

Aatube OP ,

The question I'm asking is why these sounds evoke waves. I don't see the resemblance.

I remember that time some guy pinged nearly 40k people and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours

Aatube OP ,

aaaaargh I don't want get old 😭

Aatube ,

I mean, stalking seems more common than using this for anti-theft

Aatube ,

Their point is that GSF also does a lot of privacy-invasive stuff

Aatube ,

the post title is "Release Trailer"

To combat criticism, the White House has announced a new line of products, the TERRIfiERS, which are live, deaf terriers carrying AI-aimed rifles. President Ivanushka has delightfully boasted about its friendliness and reduced reliance on intricate moving parts, deceasing manufacturing water emissions by 41.8%.

The TERRIfiERS will be released to civilian use for Big Hunting on April 18. It is expected that this move will increase competition among magazine manufacturers.

vscodium doesn't run at 120 FPS and isn't native (as in Electron), which are Zed's goals

Edit: it doesn't seem like native widgets are a development focus of Zed, though

Aatube ,

The selling point is performance and speed... frames don't get rendered above your refresh rate.

Aatube ,

Especially when you have a bunch of extensions and a large-enough file, you want it to parse, highlight, and suggest fast.

Aatube ,

That was a hypothetical illustrating the amount of choices one had to make to port to Linux. So far their decision is to just release a tarball.

Aatube ,

You just press open. The text is very confusing, though.

Besides what other people have said, there's virtually no chance of the CCP divesting from TikTok.

Aatube OP ,

A 3D printer

Aatube OP ,

It's interesting how individualism and socialism interact with each other, and how a degree of the latter can promote the former.

Aatube OP ,

It's good enough for its method: selecting sentences from the article using some mystery algorithm without any use of machine learning

Aatube OP ,

funnily enough, that's the part of his speech he got right. like what the fuck even is a truck

Aatube OP ,

Seems like renting with extra risk and steps

Aatube OP ,

The subscription's 10 items per month, not per year, and return the next month. Babies outgrow really quickly when they're young.

According to Or Collective’s website, I have saved £640 over the past two months. Not that I would have ever spent that much - the clothes I borrow from brands such as Bobo Choses and Tinycottons are much pricier than I’d ever be able to justify, which is part of the service’s appeal. My daughter is far better dressed than I am as a result. That said, you can buy them at a reduced price if you become particularly attached.

Aatube OP ,

I don't think all friends and family own all these stuff either. And this really does save money. The machine here is at most consumerism, incentivizing us to pay extra and own everything we'll use for like at most a month, which I think is too far of a stretch.

Aatube OP ,

Even better would be that Arcimoto MUV thing. Sadly it appears they went bankrupt

Aatube OP , (edited )

They brought it to market for six glorious years but couldn't achieve mass-production and spent way too much on a ton of SKUs most people don't want before they basically went bankrupt.

Aatube OP ,

And how is that a bad thing?

Aatube OP ,

What could go wrong with depending on such a service? The things up for rental here are only things that have to be frequently changed or used just once or twice. I don't expect to subscribe to more permanent things as part of the expansion of tool rentals. Yes, some like Adobe have already adopted subscription for permanenty things, but that's different from this topic.

Aatube OP , (edited )

There is a roof. People aren't getting exposed. There are also optional door coverings I've seen.
The rest of your argument sounds like it works against any new vehicle purchase, not to mention the added comfort this has over many bikes.
At around $19000, the FUV is cheaper than any of these silly, roofless and less capacious Caterhams you've linked. Not to mention gas prices.

Aatube OP ,

I feel like digital software subscriptions have stigmatized subscriptions in general. Subscriptions are great for things that require constant investment to be meaningful. One subscribes to news and receive constant reporting on the latest news; one subscribes to a tool library and get access to nearly every tool one can need. Plus a large part of the article is about non-profit libraries anyway.

Aatube OP ,

The problem is that you're renting access to something you're not actually consuming.

But you are effectively consuming them. Just like renting books and movies, you nearly always don't need it again after you return it.

Nice talking point just to cover your bum from shilling.

Nice talking point just to cover your bum from shilling.

Aatube OP ,

Ah yes, buying everything you don't need too long isn't consumerism but renting and reusing is

Aatube OP ,

Hopefully you have an actually competent and accurately-priced makerspace near.

Aatube OP ,

Note that the featured rate in the article is "Another rented a planer at £11 a day to fix two doors in her flat after being quoted £245 for a handyman to come in and do the three hour job".

Aatube OP ,

Of course a Midwestern library has a cake-pan collection.

Aatube ,

Look, none of this involves AI taking action on posts or answering them. It's just yet another ChatGPT clone, yet another Copilot clone, and search summaries.

Aatube ,

I don't think it tries to compare carbohydrates to any UFAs, but the implication is indeed that SFAs significantly contribute to heart disease.

Aatube ,

Ah, thanks, I've missed that.

Aatube ,

In fact, he was going to France precisely because the French senate wanted to hear his testimony.

Aatube ,

SCMP is widely recognized as HK's newspaper of record.

WSJ is also owned by Newscorp, so I believe it's a fair comparison even though Alibaba now owns SCMP.

Searching HKET on Wikipedia leads me to a page with a "Conservatism in China" sidebar.
