> The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to scrap the requirement for companies to report their earnings every quarter and giving them the option to share results twice a year

So, at least twice a year would still be mandatory until this change.


Why not use an easier to detect wake “word”, like two claps in quick succession? Or a couple of notes of a melody?

Can't clap if your hands are full and I would not subject my family to my attempts at delivering a melody.

I haven't tried training my own wake word though, I'm tempted to see if it improves things.


Personally I'd pick "Cthulhu"

What about whistling?

Is this something where you could pay a "consulting fee" to the previous key engineer to login and remove the MFA?

I know that that's not ideal, but as a practical matter perhaps it would be easier than creating a new account, if you can get the engineer to agree to it?


This looks quite cool.

The project name is obvious to anyone who speaks Chinese, but for everyone else: “zi2zi” means ”字 to 字” or “character to character”, which describes the use of style transfer.

It also makes total sense that the model produces “worse” results when reproducing seal script (an ancient script), because seal script has a lot of variant components that don’t match modern regular script.

(The seal script image: https://github.com/kaonashi-tyc/zi2zi-JiT/blob/main/assets/g... )

Perhaps it would make sense to use an existing seal script font as the content reference when generating seal script output? Maybe this was done and the model is just not tuned for it?


Yes, for seal script, there are simply not that many fonts one can tune against.

The content encoder, the structure prior in this model is based on SongTi(SourceHans Serif), seal script would be foreign to it



I think taskwarrior vs OmniFocus/Todoist/Things 3 is a similar vibe to vim vs IDE.

Some people want a minimalist tool that they can read a manual for and then configure / install extensions for to their liking, and some people want a discoverable batteries-included GUI.

taskwarrior is simply the program and format that has the most support and biggest extension ecosystem for that first group of people.

Both are fine.


Since I had to look it up, OBOR = One Belt One Road = Belt and Road Initiative, which is China's project for building infrastructure in developing countries to promote tighter economic integration with China.

It's a more literal translation of the Chinese name "一带一路".


EDIT: I am wrong, see children

> The employee, she said, “used confidential OpenAI information in connection with external prediction markets (e.g. Polymarket).”

Note that “insider trading” is not illegal on prediction markets. The particular issue here is that the employee “disclosed” confidential information on a public forum by influencing the prices assigned to certain outcomes by prediction markets.


I don't think this is true, though enforcement is another thing and the standard is different than in securities markets. Prediction markets are regulated by the CFTC and the insider trading standard is “misappropriation of confidential information in breach of a pre-existing duty of trust and confidence to the source of the information” (vs any “material non-public information” for securities) https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/phamstateme...


It is most definitely against the rules of the sites and illegal, especially on kalshi


It seems like it could also be quite dangerous for those with food allergies.


But then it is mentioned that the treatment "also seemed to reduce the response to house dust mite allergens".

The treatment also supposedly activates macrophages in the lungs (and thus not elsewhere). Only some small particles and vapor droplets from foods go into the lungs.


This is part of the civilizational collapse narrative. It is definitely true in a way.

I think that how much it would end up mattering depends on how well solar tech would withstand a civilizational collapse.

I think that a proto-industrial society with photovoltaics and batteries would be able to bootstrap itself back up to the present state, even without easily exploitable fossil fuels.

(I am not an expert in any of this)


How are they going to make pv’s and batteries in the first place?
