This is almost exactly how Windows voice control works. It keeps dividing the screen into smaller and smaller boxes labeled with numbers that you can speak to focus into.
How is OpenAI Voice mode any different than a Whatsapp call? Ignoring the part that there is a GPU on the other side instead of a human. But what is the technical challenge in the voice call portion? It seems like that has been a solved problem for a long time now.
These guys are at the absolute frontier, why can't they rigorously find the exact weights that are causing this problem? That's how software "engineering" should work. Not trying combinations of English words and hoping something works. This is like a brain surgeon talking to his patient hoping he can shock his brain in the right way that fries the tumor inside. Get in there and surgically remove the unwanted matter!
I do my work on this PC. And even though almost all of it is on WSL, the rest of the OS just works better than any Linux I've tried. And I'm no stranger to Linux. My first was the Ubuntu Dapper Drake CD they used to mail out for free. So I put up with all the abuse :(
I have a fully functional Arch Linux on a secondary SSD, but it's just a pain to deal with all the Bluetooth audio quirks, the uncanny valley GUI, incomplete app support, etc. I'll muster enough willpower one day to fully make the arch boot by default.
This is so extremely annoying when paired with the forced auto restarts. Here is how it works:
1. I walk away from the computer with a bunch of my tabs and programs running. I also have a couple of servers running (docker compose).
2. Microsoft decides my work is worthless and restarts the PC to install updates to fix their own shoddy programming.
3. After 3-4 restarts, it finally drops back into the login screen. So my open apps, tabs, servers are all gone, and will not be running. Basically means I cannot rely on the PC being online if I am outside.
4. And on top of that, even when I enter the password, it will pretend to login, but stops on this spam screen with the anti-pattern "remind me later" button. Every single time. I've told them no for at least 50 times. Oh and this screen blocks every startup program from loading, even though I have signed in. So I have to clear it before docker will load.
I think I read somewhere that calculating and limiting cloud usage costs is a really hard problem. But I feel that if Google were motivated to do it, they can do it. It's hard, not impossible. They just don't care to solve this particular problem.
Keyboard shortcuts are truly a mess on mac os. Windows does it much better and with more consistency. That results in third party apps also having sensible shortcuts. Example: Ctrl+G is widely used in code editors for "Goto line". On Windows it makes perfect sense to use because Ctrl+ shortcuts are used for text editing everywhere. But on macos it is out of place, because there Cmd+ is the standard for text editing. But Cmd+G is used for some obscure find feature. So editors fall back to Ctrl+G which is out of place.
Yeah imagine if at boot Windows Vista gives you the UAC "Do you TRUST all the software you are going to run today?" and if you say yes then it just allows any random code to do whatever it wants.
The "trust project" feature has been designed to be so extremely intrusive and annoying that the first thing I do is to completely disable it whenever I install VS Code on a new computer. This "solution" was just done to tick some box and put the blame on the user when a security incident happens. It's pretty similar to Windows Vista where it annoyed you with a disruptive popup so many times during the normal course of actions that most people ended up disabling the whole UAC system. Overall security goes down, and Microsoft has a nice excuse.
In any bet you need a judge who decides which way the conditions of the bet resolved. The judge is someone trusted by both parties to be impartial and fair. If a lot of people stop trusting polymarket to act fairly and impartially, that will simply mean fewer people participating in the bets.
Windows 11 has स्वेद steadily gotten worse. It was better at launch!
For me, the phone link feature seems to constantly consume 8-10% CPU regardless of whether my phone is connected or not. Windows malware process is another big offender, making me wonder if an actual virus might have lesser effect on performance. The start menu sometimes hangs if I try to type something in the search box.
It just screams incompetent software to me.
If you have network infrastructure that supports 400G I'm pretty sure it has solid PTP built in. And as far as I remember from my networking days setting it up is almost as simple as setting up NTP, you just need a single machine with a GPS lock.
Everything you do will have some effect on another task you're doing. Nothing is perfectly safe. Most people are ok with the risk of driving. It doesn't matter if you're having a conversation.
