  • Streaming services’ obnoxiously loud ads become illegal on July 1 in California

  • Indeed this is an overly solved problem. Personally I prefer ReplayGain for music and some video-audio productions while compression is great for making voices clearer. Thinking about adverts, compression would likely be the winner for making it less jarring decibel wise.

    Also please no one explain what the fuck this is about, I find it funny how confusing this must be.

  • Can you elaborate? Just curious what you are referring to.

  • This might be the best chance AOC gets to pull the floor out from under Chuckles and get into the Senate.

    AOC has made it clear she despises him so that won't be a barrier.

  • I had written SG1 off as silly for so long until getting hooked on season 2. Definitely a "don't judge a book by its cover".

    Also the variety of stories worked so well. That said, nothing will top "How far is Alaris anyway?" /Several billion miles O'Neill/ "That's gotta be a record."

    Or the free tickets to the "Virginia Dialogs or something like that"

  • It felt like Apple almost accidentally burst the bubble a few months (or was it a year?) ago when Apple stated their intent to just lease or license one of the leading models. I am not an economist but it definitely looks like they are following the same strategy as Berkshire Hathaway with Apple's board planning to buy on the "dip" everyone outside is seeing as inevitable.

    Strategically it would make sense for Apple if they not only extracted steep concessions also gouged out more control over Samsung and Apple's fabs.

  • Reminds of the SG1 episode where the super advanced aliens turn to humanity for help against a constantly adapting AI scourge because humans are skilled at solving problems in unpredictably stupid but effective ways.

  • The modern take of a disturbed idiom is "There is more than one way to microwave a cat!" (disclaimer please don't actually do this).

    At or near the bottom of complexity you would think it hard to fuck up "compress this directory and verify they are backed up before deleting the originals" but apparently some of these models have a RNG triggered Uno reverse card so "delete the originals, verify they are backed up, and compress this directory". Also that wasn't a mistake, maybe Claude will infer "they" is a specific set of files, but another model might decide you meant all the dot files at ~/?

    Joking aside, the devil is in the details which makes me think even more time will be sunk finding out the RC Cola bottom shelf AI model does things just a bit too differently than Claude.

  • it's weird who gets reported for this stuff.

    There was a game that released not too long ago that was spamming the same message to it's log file in 500 millisecond intervals doing a constant stream of write and flush to disk the entire time the game ran.

    silence.

    edit: fixed typo that was 50. though I guess you can say this has been going downhill since Washington.

  • My experiments with some of the code assist models is they can be an amazing productivity boost, but only if you are not greedy.

    If I ask the bot "Please make me this data structure with this list of parameters" its probably 99% perfect. Moving up, the sweet spot is closer to "Make me this module of code that matches this ABI/API". Alternatively "Hey can you make this entire feature?" I will get a 8000 line of code blob that may or may not work. Even worse if I get really greedy I will get a 8000 file project filled with 8000 lines of code that is most definitely going to start the robot uprising.

    Giving the junior and midlevel code monkeys access to AI coding tools is an amazing way to generate a mountain of slop the senior and most expensive code monkey gets trapped trying to decipher while the junior monkeys make even more shit that needs to be dealt with.

    Boil it down, if we make centaurs of humans leading AI it will definitely work better than a reverse centaur that will confidently tell a gig driver to drive off a cliff.
