When I read what you wrote I immediately thought of "(...) HAL was told to lie... by people who find it easy to lie. HAL doesn't know how, so he couldn't function. He became paranoid. (...)".

Indeed.

If the smart lawnmower (Powered by AI™, as seen on television) decides that not being turned off is the best way to achieve its ultimate goal of getting your lawn mowed, it doesn't matter whether the completely unnecessary LLM inside is just a dumb copyright infrigement machine and probably just copying the plot it learned in some sci-fi story somewhere in training set.

Your foot is still getting mowed! AIs don't have to be "real" or "conscious" or "have feelings" to be dangerous.

What are the philosophical implications of the lawnmower not having feelings? Who cares! You don't HAVE A FOOT anymore.

Great point. I think that Blindsight by Peter Watts explores the concept of alien intelligence without consciousness.

They are on your disk somewhere. Search for files with an f3d extension and you will should be able to find them.

You should also be able to export an f3d archive as long as it’s a standalone design (ie not linked to other designs).

However true that might be, I’d rather try to avoid wrestling with software for my data. If that’s really the case then even if it’s free I’m pretty sure you’re not getting your money’s worth.

It's xml right.

Whenever I have to edit an xml file I tend to just go ham with python's xml library. the scripts are never pretty, mainly because they are whatever addhoc editing I wanted in written form. The hardest part is figuring out the xpath syntax.

A slight lie, I use lxml, mainly because it can select siblings which the built in xml lib is unable to do. but I still use the internal libs documentation, mainly because it is easier to read.

Yeah, I've never found XML to be easy to edit/bulk edit/edit by hand. I suppose there are tools that would allow me to do that but since I would use them sporadically, I'd need to re-learn them every use. At the same ^D/^KD in Sublime works just fine.

I'm using GnuCash and not being able to easily do bulk changes or easily script it is quite annoying, for example after a slight mistake in a CSV import.
mszcz · a year ago
Exactly. I can try out stupid stuff, but because it's all text files and no magic, reverting back is as easy as it gets.

I tried it years ago but finally settled on HLedger. Like GnuCash, I own and control my data, but with HLedger I have an ability to go in and correct or change something (and not in a "accounting-appropriate" way) in bulk just by editing it in Sublime Text. Then again, my use case is pretty basic and not mission critical so YMMV.

Please give me an external ePaper display so I can just use Spacemacs in a well-lit room!

Onyx makes a HDMI "25 eInk display [0]. It's pricey.

I developed a TDOA based sound localization system for the Raspberry Pi

https://medium.com/@kim_94237/tdoa-sound-localization-with-t...

and with manual input you can greatly improve the accuracy from what an automatic system could do due to noise and signal degradation. However it’s very time consuming. The service level response would not be met if doing this on many cases I’m sure. Meaning the default accuracy of localization is likely to be a bunch less accurate than what it could be in theory.

What is absolutely needed is to start a validation process. Start legal proceedings to force the disclosure of co-ordinates and exact event time information as recorded by each recorder so the math can be checked. My software will provide that side.

This looks awesome. I’ve been wondering if it would be practical/feasible to create something similar but portable, self-contained for quieter, „local” sounds, like for instance locating a termite-like bug(s?) that’s been terrorizing my sanity for years now hiding in wooden beams.

I'm using "Easy Move+Resize". Works great.
