  • Consider rpi camera + personal qr code for signing in. You would always get the same info and it would be seamless enough (probably) that people won't skip it as easily. Also could be easily expanded, like borrowing tools for instance or when leaving to get an idea how long people stay in for etc.

  • Its going alright, went to work super late though and forgot to do one thing I was supposed to do and now I have to bump it to tomorrow. But the weather is nice, had a nice lunch and having a good cup of coffee now.

    Started ordering groceries for pick-up to save time (and money maybe). It was nice. Trying to fit 75e / week (Finland) for groceries for two people now, hopefully we can achieve that to reduce the money to groceries a bit.

    Fiancée got bit by the gym-bug which is nice, though she keeps trying to get me to go with her which is a bit annoying. I have been considering it and starting the StrongLifts 5x5 program, I used to do it a loooong time ago and it was nice. I just really dislike the idea of going to the gym.

  • The message is sending a virus made by the world known hacker, Bill Gates. After this Microsoft and ThE gOvErNmEnT know everything you do and who you talk to and what about and what websites you visit and tiktoks you look at. First step of total world domination.

  • The same thing as with tooooooons of things: scale.

    Nobody cares if one dude steals office supplies at work. Now, if everyone stats doing it, or if the single guy steals everything, then action is taken.

    Nobody cares if a random person draws in the same style and with same characters as you, but if they start to sell them, or god forbid, out-sell you, then there is a problem.

    Nobody cares (except police I guess) if a random driver drives double the speed limit and annoys people living next to the road on the weekends, but when tons of people do it, you get speed bumps.

    Nobody cares if few people pirate movies, but when it gets to mainstream and companies notice that there might be money being lost. Then you get whatever we have now.

    Nobody cares if the mudhill behind your house erodes a bit and you get mud on your shoes. Have a bunch of that erode and you realise the danger...

    You have been fine-tuning your own writing style for a decade and random schmuck starts to write similarly, you probably don't care. No harm done. Now, get an AI to write 10 000 books in a weekend and someone starts to sell them... well now you have a completely different problem.

    On a fundamental level the exact same thing is happening, yet action is only taken after a certain threshold is step over.

    Everyone’s favorite chatbot can now see and hear and speak. On Monday, OpenAI announced new multimodal capabilities for ChatGPT. Users can now have voice conversations or share images with ChatGPT in real-time.

    Audio and multimodal features have become the next phase in fierce generative AI competition. Meta recently launched AudioCraft for generating music with AI and Google Bard and Microsoft Bing have both deployed multimodal features for their chat experiences. Just last week, Amazon previewed a revamped version of Alexa that will be powered by its own LLM (large language model), and even Apple is experimenting with AI generated voice, with Personal Voice.

    Voice capabilities will be available on iOS and Android. Like Alexa or Siri, you can tap to speak to ChatGPT and it will speak back to you in one of five preferred voice options. Unlike, current voice assistants out there, ChatGPT is powered by more advanced LLMs, so what you’ll hear is the same type of conversational and creative response that OpenAI’s GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 is capable of creating with text. The example that OpenAI shared in the announcement is generating a bedtime story from a voice prompt. So, exhausted parents at the end of a long day can outsource their creativity to ChatGPT.

    Use your voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with ChatGPT. Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story, or settle a dinner table debate. Sound on 🔊 pic.twitter.com/3tuWzX0wtS — OpenAI (@OpenAI) September 25, 2023

    Multimodal recognition is something that’s been forecasted for a while, and is now launching in a user-friendly fashion for ChatGPT. When GPT-4 was released last March, OpenAI showcased its ability to understand and interpret images and handwritten text. Now it will be a part of everyday ChatGPT use. Users can upload an image of something and ask ChatGPT about it — identifying a cloud, or making a meal plan based on a photo of the contents of your fridge. Multimodal will be available on all platforms.

    As with any generative AI advancement, there are serious ethics and privacy issues to consider. To mitigate risks of audio deepfakes, OpenAI says it is only using its audio recognition technology for the specific “voice chat” use case. Also, it was created with voice actors they have “directly worked with.” That said, the announcement doesn’t mention whether users’ voices can be used to train the model, when you opt in to voice chat. For ChatGPT’s multimodal capabilities, OpenAI says it has “taken technical measures to significantly limit ChatGPT’s ability to analyze and make direct statements about people since ChatGPT is not always accurate and these systems should respect individuals’ privacy.” But the real test of nefarious uses won’t be known until it’s released into the wild.

    Voice chat and images will roll out to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users in the next two weeks, and to all users “soon after.”

  • 30/70 water ipa mix can make the mix dissolve materials that are not normally dissolvable in ipa. It is a cosolvent system which reduces the polarity of the mix and hence, can make things miscible in it that normally are not.

    Just fyi, if pure ipa is not working, using the diluted version might!
