Cannot login:

It looks like we might be having some problems. But don't worry, we use an error tracking service (shameless plug!)

Someone's pager is absolutely blowing up right now…

Today I am announcing pg-micro, a crazy experiment I've been undertaking to make this happen.

pg-micro is different from other approaches because it is fully local, and expected to be fast: there is no concurrency limitation and no statement translation.

It would be great if it could connect to GitHub directly and work on both public and private repos. Otherwise, I need to add an SSH key, etc.

Also, if I log in with Anthropic, does it keep the credentials saved somewhere in the browser? What happens if I close the browser tab or the entire browser app on my phone? Ideally, this would replace OpenAI Codex: make changes, open a PR, run tests, etc.

Re:Orpheus-3B – Emotive TTS by Canopy Labs on Wednesday March 26, 2025 @08:11AM (#43481311)
You need to decode the tokens into audio. See `convert_to_audio` method in `decoder.py`

You can run `python gguf_orpheus.py --text "Hello, this is a test" --voice tara` and connect to the llama-server

Can you go running with your watch and earphones and listen to music without a phone?
It seems the website allows anybody to send anything to GPT-4 via the API! Make sure you have put a rate limit and spend limit on the Open AI side and better generate 100~ questions and store them in a DB. Otherwise, you may have a significant OpenAI bill.

This reminded me to turn off "privacy settings" to "keep your vehicle in good condition and observe the vehicle's health" on my Volvo XC40 after the mechanics asked me to turn it on yesterday during the yearly maintenance. I don't know if they can change some settings remotely, but I prefer to be cautious

Now, it's a smaller window thanks to the real-time certificate transparency log.
The Searle vs. Boden debate revolves around the philosophical question of whether machines can truly possess consciousness and understanding, or if they are limited to simulating intelligent behavior without genuine understanding. This debate primarily involves John Searle, an American philosopher, and Margaret Boden, a cognitive scientist and philosopher.

John Searle is best known for his thought experiment called the Chinese Room argument, which he presented in 1980. In this argument, Searle imagines himself locked inside a room with a set of instructions that enable him to respond to written Chinese symbols without understanding the Chinese language. He argues that even though he can generate appropriate responses and appear to understand Chinese, he does not genuinely understand the language because he is simply following a set of syntactic rules without grasping the meaning behind them. Searle extends this argument to claim that computers, no matter how complex or sophisticated, can only manipulate symbols according to algorithms but lack true understanding.

Margaret Boden, on the other hand, represents a more optimistic view about machine understanding and consciousness. She acknowledges Searle's Chinese Room argument but argues that it overlooks the potential of computational systems to exhibit genuine understanding. Boden emphasizes the distinction between "strong" AI, which aims to create machines with consciousness and understanding comparable to human intelligence, and "weak" AI, which focuses on simulating intelligent behavior without claiming genuine understanding. She argues that while Searle's argument may hold for weak AI, it does not necessarily refute the possibility of strong AI.

Boden suggests that machine understanding can emerge through the combination of syntactic manipulation of symbols (as Searle describes) and semantic processing, which involves the interpretation and mapping of symbols to meaning. She highlights the importance of cognitive architecture, which encompasses not only the symbolic manipulation but also the grounding of symbols in sensory-motor experiences. According to Boden, by providing machines with rich sensory inputs and allowing them to interact with the physical world, it becomes possible for them to develop genuine understanding and consciousness.
