I doubt they are using Johansson’s voice. I expect they need much more studio-quality training data than they would have for her.
The desire to create a “Her” might be real but explains why they chose a similar voice actress, made Sky the default, and continued to pursue Johansson to some day create the real thing.
Suspending the Sky voice looks guilty but it might be a temporary action while the legal team considers their response. There might be a non-zero risk of being found liable if there were directions in the voice casting process to seek a result comparable to Scarlet Johansson. You’d want to collect and assess correspondence to see if that’s a possibility, which might take a while.
Yeah, decorate it just with a tremendous amount of dark red paint, spattered away from the fan, heaviest in the fan corner
Sweet lemonade, mmm, sweet lemonade…
I’ve used it, but only when I’m on some really sketchy unencrypted WiFi network, like in an airport or a hotel.
It doesn’t offer location spoofing like all other VPNs on the market, which I would have more use for.
Yeah but it sounds less cool if you say thirteen point three millilitres than to say Four (4) TRIOS™!!!
Unless that person happens to be with their dad, that would then require finding their dad. That’s a whole extra person to find. It might be easier to skip straight to finding their dad.
I have always been very confused about whether the tip line on the receipt in the US works with my British cards given that I enter a PIN into a terminal that doesn’t show that tip amount.
As of last year I’m pretty sure the tip is deducted from my card, but I don’t think that has always been the case. I understand it works based on PIN-authenticated pre-authorisation for a higher amount and they later take your tip+bill from that pre-authorisation.
It doesn’t seem very secure but the US always seems behind on card security.
When I first started travelling to the US for work restaurant staff were always extremely confused about why my card needed a PIN. They often tried again and again or said my card wouldn’t go through, then worked out that it needed a PIN. Lots of places then had no way to hand you the terminal to enter it, like they would have to push aside mountains of junk to get the terminal out, or invite me round to the other side of the bar because it’s literally screwed down.
Obligatory plug for STAR Voting, not Ranked Choice Voting. STAR voting better avoids situations where voting for a preferred candidate can cause a less preferred candidate to win.
Rust has a lot going for it beyond just the safety thing: excellent package manager, powerful trait system and generics, helpful compiler errors.
The whole language is designed to help you avoid making the programming mistakes people tend to make, not just the borrow checker and memory safety.
I don’t understand the motivation to spoil your vote. First past the post is the shittiest voting system but the rational response is to vote tactically instead, perhaps reduce the majority of your disliked incumbent. Even if you can’t overturn a majority, MPs on smaller majorities may be less arrogant, and less likely to vote for unpopular policies. But sometimes you do overturn a majority. It will happen lots in this/next year’s election.
I don’t think any politician gives a shit about the numbers of spoiled ballots, they literally don’t look even once at those numbers.
Yes, Windows perfectly serves the purpose of running an SSH client to log into a Linux box. Totally adequate experience.
Yeah, I shell out for the premium electricity, the 99% electrons. The 95% stuff is fine but I have a lot of expensive devices; I want them to run as fast as possible.
Isn’t the point of these discounts to allow the store to unload goods that customers otherwise would avoid due to low remaining shelf life, and recoup some of the purchase costs? If they don’t discount it will end up costing them money.
Maybe I’d take the first year in prison for a half a million* but ask me again 1 year later, do you want to do a second year? No, I want 600k. Next year, 700k. 44 years? Honey, you can’t afford it.
* I wouldn’t, my number is higher than that.
The price difference is quickly made up for with the re-usability factor.
I don’t think that’s true, CD-Rs cost pennies. You have to rewrite every CD-RW 4 or 5 times before it’s comparable in price. In practice, across every CD-RW ever made, the approximate number of times it is written is probably about 0.5
No, those are both trademarks, you’re associating 𝕏 with your tech business (to the extent that Elon Tracker is a tech business).
But if you start a plumbing business you can call it 𝕏, because trademarks are industry-specific.
You might be able to get away with starting a business called XYZ and putting 𝕏 symbols all over your website as long as it obviously isn’t your logo.
Or you can publish images of people doing unspeakable things with the 𝕏 logo. As long as you are not claiming to be 𝕏, you can use the 𝕏 glyph however you like.
This is not true of the bird logo. You aren’t by default allowed to reproduce it, so the company can allow you to, with extra conditions of their choosing. They can make you take down images of people doing unspeakable things with the bird logo, on the basis that it contravenes their terms and therefore is not covered by the license.
𝕏 is actually a Unicode symbol, so musk can’t trademark it
That’s not true, it absolutely can be a trademark. You might be thinking of copyright - he can’t copyright the current 𝕏 logo.
The rights you’d get from each protection are different and a sensible business probably would want both. Trademark protection would prevent another tech company trading as 𝕏; copyright protection for the logo would let you set terms on how it is used.
I have learned that there are animals called potoroos and bilbies.
