Most of Canada and Mexico's illegal firearm problem comes from us.

You have absolutely no way of knowing when Trump is serious or only flinging petty insults.

This is a step above Sun's OPEN LOOK design. Well done, 1995 won't know what hit them!

Hey man, whatever lets you sleep at night I guess.

AI can't does any of that though. And it can't match the stresses and cadence of a decently skilled human actor either.

So you can either hire shitty voice actors or use a shitty piece of software. And get shitty results. For a film that isn't a piece of art but simply a vehicle to make money.

Where AI shines in dubbing is that it is getting better at lip syncing. On the video side it is a huge time saver, but someone has to actually go through and review what it does and send the crappy attempts back. It turns out that AI doesn't replace the need for a good director and editor.

When you can run a shitty computer program that does an unsatisfactory job? It only costs thousands of GPUs and a few megawatthours.

The United States refused to be part of the solution, so now they're part of the problem too.

I'm willing to vote with my dollar. Just give me the choice in the "free' market.

We have been using Rust without rewriting everything (Linux kernel and some device drivers and some firmware). I think the language is overly complex, but my industry is going forward with it. Most of our code translation is machine assisted too.

I remember the promise of transitioning projects from C to C++, but in the end people would go out of their way to come up with an excuse to rewrite code to be "modern C++". So I'm a bit skeptical of the value of full language compatibility at the high level.

As long as I can build a project that is a mix of different languages and linked together into some compatible binaries, that's usually good enough to incrementally transition.

How well can we really know anyone? How well can we even know ourselves?

I answered your question with an allegory. Enjoy!

I adapt my rural Great Lakes accent whenever I talk with coworkers in California. And it's not just foreigners that have trouble understanding me, some native Californians do too.

There are a lot of things these days where nobody is willing to lift their foot off the gas for fear of losing the race.

The difference between an AI and an Atom Bomb. Is you can freely duplicate one while the other still requires a huge industrial efforts to re-develop and produce.

"Then I could turn around and justify that, by saying that it isn’t really paranoia if there really are people out to get you."

If the economy is in the toilet, consumer spensing is down, and business expansion is increasingly unlikely.
