  • Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

  • Your view seems to be hyper focused on the most pessimistic way of interpreting things. Are you doing OK? Seriously, I know how easy it is for everything going on to overwhelm you with negativity. How are you doing?

  • I think it would be a good idea to do a section of your work with and without AI modification. Then have people listen to both and give feedback. Good to find out if people like the modifications before you do a tone of work.

  • That depends entirely on how profitable it is and how much they can get authors onboard.

    I do agree that a good narrator delivers a performance that adds the work. James Marster will always be Harry Dresden in my head.

  • Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?

    Jump

  • I've seen some videos talking about iron based battery tech. My understanding is that is doesn't wear out nearly as fast as lithium based tech and less of a fire risk. Downside is that it is less energy dense, so doesn't work for mobile applications. But that shouldn't be a problem for stationary applications, like the power grid.

  • Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all, economists claim

    Jump

  • I would guess the AI capabilities were over sold and even when it can do useful work it still requires a lot of human hand holding. It's like a very enthusiastic intern, very motivated but you need to double check it's work.

  • Moving servers and rack equipment

    Jump

  • If you have mechanical HDD you may want to get a foam lined case and anti static bags. That should be the best approach to avoid drive damage.

    As for leaving things in the rack, I am concerned that road vibration could walk screws out. That would be bad.

  • Could wastewater plants simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water?

    Jump

  • In a practical sense, making lead hot won't break it down. But I wonder if there is any temperature where lead would stop being lead and continue to not be lead after the results cool down again?

  • I think couples therapy is a good idea. It is very likely that both of you have things to work on. I also have my own experiences of making mistakes in the past, then getting so upset with myself I don't leave any mental capacity to actually try to improve. Medications and therapy for my ADHD has helped a lot on that. Some resources that may be helpful are on YouTube. How to ADHD and Healthy Gamer GG are ones I am aware of.

  • What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country?

    Jump

  • I understand that your concerned for the person, but simply telling them that they need to produce proof before you can go any further seems fine.

  • As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?

    Jump

  • Basically it is the trendy word to say, "This thing does not align to my narrow world view and is therefore bad and wrong."

  • In search of Psychiatrist/MD in TX

    Jump

  • Before I got a diagnosis I was able to get bupropion from my GP. My experience is that it toned down the intensity of emotions making them more manageable. Since it is non stimulant it should side step the drug test issue.

    I have stimulant meds now, taking bupropion and stimulant together is proving very effective for me.

  • my incredible mind can invent new dates for appointments and events

    Jump

  • A practice that I find helpful is repeating back what I thought I heard. This gives evidence to the other person you are paying attention and provides an opportunity for immediate corrections if I got something wrong.

    I also agree with other people of not depending on your brain. Computers are very good at remembering precisely what you tell them. They also offer reminders for variable amounts of time before. I have had Google calendar events with reminders set for 1 week, 1 day, and 1 hour before a single event.

  • Hype-fueling science fiction or plausible scenarios?

    Jump

  • I think a part of the problem with current AI is that it's trying to be an expert on all things. Humans can have similar issues, were they are legitimately an expert in one field and makes them over confident in other areas. So current AI is a better bit then a newb at lots of things and over confident. Haveing models with more focused training would improve how useful they are.

    Like your example, it would be great to have an AI that is focused on how to do good research and doesn't try to be an "expert" on anything else.

  • ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it

    Jump

  • I have been using it for documentation a lot recently. I find tweaking/correcting it's 70% correct comments to be less time/effort than writing it myself from nothing. I think part of it is using Cunningham's law on myself.

  • I don't think it's about anthropomorphizing the tool, it's about expressing appreciation for the tool. Showing appreciation to a wrench may being as simple as making sure that you clean, oil, and properly put it away when your done using it. The tool is not a conscious entity, but the mindset of appreciation will make you more likely to properly care for the object resulting it being useful to you for longer.

  • Yeah. AI is an interesting tool. I have good success in asking for mostly small specific bits of functionality that I then integrate into a larger script. It also helps with rubber duck programing by requiring me to more clearly specify requirements.

  • No, he is being attacked because he publicly contradicted Trump. If do anything Trump perceives as "making him look bad", he will attack you.

  • Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?
