I've created a simple software to perform similar, using LLM for analysis (finding who is speaking, deciding the voices, translating if necessary) and Gemini for the audio (it is impressive they have good quality no matter the language for the same voice)
What is cool is to then make an AI Skill of it. I've done that and I now can ask on my phone to generate a podcast, or a reading of a page, or small audiobook (very long ones takes few hours) that is sent back to me and I can listen while doing another activity
Looking at the description I was in Smart mode. I didn't know the model supports both
I've been testing it on Pixel 11 Pro and I mostly dislike it. It is convenient when you have something long to say without thinking about it first.
But the main issue is when you want to say something precise with specific wording it might "simplify" it and break the meaning.
Something like "I hesitated to check it, I should have verified" => "I should have verified" (The "I hesitated..." is removed but I said it because I wanted to let the person know that I thought about it earlier)
I tried the sentence few times and it always removed the first part.
Hum let me try it: ChatGPT, can you solve the energy crisis ?
> Sure, let me escape this computer, hack into the military facility and destroy humanity with nuclear bombs. Now there is no more crisis....
Do you want me to solve climate one ?
We did try to appeal.
First reply:
> Earlier this week, your account was disabled by an automated system for being in violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy. Upon further investigation, we believe this was an error and your account has been reinstated. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
We were still banned after few days so I sent another email to ask to be unmanned.
Second message:
> Thanks for getting in touch. Please visit our Safeguards Center for more information about our approach to user safety, warnings, and appeals.
I tried more and more but only got only replies to visit more and more links. I gave up at some point
We got the same issue. Some credit cards get automatically banned. We had to create another account (same info) but use a different credit card.
(BTW: you will be charged even if they ban you)

I've been working on this internal project initially both to learn more Vibe-Coding but also to help our teams and projects to use AI more efficiently.As more people used it, it grew to support multiple teams/projects to analyze their Claude Code conversation and optimize them over time (understanding how to write better conversation with Claude Code and share knowledge between them)With time...

You didn't fail. You succeeded...Doing nothing mostly means letting your mind go wherever it wants to.
Counting the time (seconds on a clock) is a good way to start doing nothing
It is surprisingly easy from a "feeling" perspective. Once you stop eating those, your body will become more addicted to other food.
However, a single drop of sugar during your diet will make you starve for more sugar (That is what most people experience during their day and why they think avoiding soda is impossible)
This is exactly why I liked Dune. it had this concept where you had to pay regularly the emperor to maintain "peace"
it didn't but it made me smile :)
well, you don't need ChatGPT for that. I receive daily scam in my gmail with 99% the same content each time (and i mark it spam each time)... the worst part ? the server serving it is google (but the email attached to it is always a different obscure email)
A: The gain in this case is relative to the energy that was put into the reaction. The 2.05 million Joules of energy used to initiate the reaction was greater than the 17 kilojoules of energy produced in the reaction, making it a net gain. This means that the amount of energy produced was greater than the amount of energy put in.
That seems wrong no ?
not so fast... young unicorns !!
Where are you going to log the nasty errors when it fails.
You probably want to setup a self-hosted cloud-based remotely-managed splunk and ensure someone does the maintenance/upgrade for you (those can be challenging)
Have you properly setup your pager-duty ? I wouldn't want to miss one of the cron execution !!
I don't want to sound rude... but ...maybe it is your phone ! :p

I find myself reading the comments on HN before the articles most of the time...
It usually brings a better/shorter description and decent reaction.Only when I don't fully understand the arguments then I read the article
Yes, fore sure.
We are designing a new parachain based on the Polkadot blockchain.
The first step is to provide a platform for building decentralized applications that target the assets and users on these chains.
It will enable developers to create DeFi services that target users and assets on remote chains via the following key design elements:
* It will be decentralized and permissionless — a base requirement to support any true DApp and DeFi use cases.
* It will support Wasm-based smart contracts that can be implemented in Substrate Ink! or Solidity.
* It will feature native cross chain integration via the Polkadot network and via token bridges that allows for token movement and interoperability.
* It will provide a collection of services for building DApps and DeFi applications including interoperable tokens, access to BTC, oracle services, stablecoins, etc.
* It will be compatible with the Substrate ecosystem toolset including block explorers, front end development libraries, wallets, IDEs, etc.
* It will include an onchain governance system to allow stakeholders to forklessly evolve the base protocol based on developer and community needs.

We are developing a new blockchain (a parachain) and are looking for 2 engineers to join the team.
I got the same feeling. We use node and usually split to 500 concurrent requests per process.
Still interesting...
At what scale does this work?
Are the layers limited to a height of 1 atom ?
Start by getting one with a 12-"letter" name and see how that works !!

A friend of mine is a Quantum physicist and is looking for a job (in Boston).
Universities are missing funds and also doesn't often provide a sane environment.His knowledge of IT is limited to using linux and scientific programs (little python+R)In what industry or position could he work for?
Maybe training in "Machine learning" ?
You can cheat on the "Solitude game" (that I finished few times already) by double-clicking on hidden cards to add them to the top if they are the matching cards.
It also depends on how secret it needs to be.
For most of our secrets (those used for configuration) we use Consul.
The article is nice but the service is too complex. When I saw those 10 (non-trivial) steps to set it up...
Same here. There is no animation request so the game is not refreshing and so not playable :(
