You are reporting on a deliberately curated effort vs. what I understand is effectively voluntary data donation without incentives. It's not surprising to me that the later dataset ends up biased due to the differences in sourcing.
Your understanding of the datasets I helped create seems at odds with my experience actually creating the datasets. Do you have some insider experience or knowledge with dataset curation and creation for voice assistants that contradicts my own.
The guideline is that the newer your model, the more likely it is to have diverse voice recognition datasets since it solves the earlier problems caused by non representative data. The trend is moving towards better recognition for outliers. The training models are fed data that is very specific and not at all just whatever recordings they have collected in an S3 bucket. Given the amount of post recording work diarization, and QA we had to do on every single recording, I can’t imagine wanting to YOLO in bulk data.
You didn't geobock the download or prompt for then user's address first in your scenario. So it may constitute export because it would be reasonable to assume that you clearly intended to make it available worldwide.
Phil Zimmerman was investigated for illegaly exporting munitions because he made PGP available via FTP. The case was settled, so I don't know whether this argument would ultimately have been successful.
This is how the UK interprets things, but they seem to be alone on this in the present day.
Wyoming just passed a bill explicitly refuting this interpretation, other states are working on their own bills, and there is even a federal bill in the early stages.
The only exception that the US has ever acknowledged to this is ITAR, which is what the PGP case was built around, but it failed as you mentioned. But non age verified OSes are obviously not munitions.
Maybe some investigation worked this way, but to me it seems obvious twisting of supposed intention. If I don't geoblock, it is not necessarily because I want the thing to arrive somewhere. It can simply be, that I don't care who downloads it, or I don't want to waste my time with crazy laws, that I might not even know about. If Kiribati decides to have a new law, I probably won't even ever hear about it. Suddenly, me not knowing laws of another country, that don't even apply to me as citizen of my own country get construed into me "wanting to export"? Lol, what a silly line of thinking, which can only come from some people, who do everything to get to someone, including arguing in a completely twisted illogical way, and judges, who are removed from reality letting such a thing happen.
If we allow this shit to happen, be prepared for evolution deniers to push their nuts agenda through the same channels and similar. Suddenly, we won't find wikipedia articles any longer and suddenly having a blog about biology will lead to one being investigated.
If you gate access behind a Terms of Service, any violation is potentially a felony in USA. Any human who later litigated would have clicked Accept, or subverted your popup like a hacker.
Correct. Zimmerman was sued under ITAR and won in the Ninth Circuit court of appeals. They said that software language is free speech just like French is free speech.
So it's strange that California is trying to compel speech when the ninth circuit has already said that software regulation is unconstitutional.
This is an downright evil take on the current situation. The supply chains are so complex that no single country is capable of replicating them entirely. It starts with the fact that the required natural resources are distributed around the globe in a way that no country has access to all of them. The production chains from resources to finished machines are downright byzantine. And this becomes recursive with the need for specialized tools and their own production chains along the way. You need trains amd trucks and ships to be able to build semiconductors, for example. Except for maybe China pr India, there is no country that has the manpower to cover all of this domestically. The supply of workers and training falls far too short.
Any Western strategy that sees this as both "us vs. them" and also pursues reduced international collaboration is bound to lose bitterly in the long run.
The result is either a silent collapse of that country's economy or the start of an ill-conceived war of conquest to gain by force what the country cannot supply itself.

The problem is that Europe does not have a choice here. The Greenland steal crisis is on hold, but not fixed. America clearly shown it will abuse any ties there are - it will lock accounts to tech to bully and get what they want. It will use tariffs to bully countries to make laws, release presidents friends criminals from prisons, you name it.
Meanwhile, America seems to take Russian side in Russian expansion. Meanwhile, America is just cause major oil issue and potentially triggered next refugees crisis. Meanwhile, America clearly shown it does not even pretend to care bout war crimes and international law at all. It is sponsoring afd and other fascist parties all around the Europe while openly insulting Europe. Maybe it is too late for disconnect, but not trying would basically be a suicide for Europe.
It would be great if it was not "us vs them". But it is "us vs them". Trust toward American made Europe super vulnerable.
The US isn't the navel of the world. It is one country that is slowly removing itself from international trade and the international scientific community.
The European Union has many friendly trading partners left in the world and is also receiving an influx of previously US based talent. The trade decisions of the US aren't forcing the EU into isolationism. This is where your argument goes wrong IMO.
The US government has announced that it plans to actively support extreme right wing parties in the EU. If this comes to pass, it is a direct attack on political freedom in those countries, separate from any economic policy decisions. I don't know how well EU countries can defend themselves against this in the short amd medium term. Some counties have better defenses than others. But I see virtually all of them struggling.
Some early binary formats followed similar concepts. Look up Interchange File Format, AIFF, RIFF, and their applications and all the file formats using this structure to this day.
I would say that most of the video file formats today are a bit like that too: they allow different stream data encoding schemes with metadata being the definition of a particular format (mostly to bring up a more familiar example that is not as generic).
How did you decide between assembler and C for various parts of the kernel? Some choices are very different from what I would have picked, so I'm curious about your thought process.
Assembly for anything that HAS to
be assembly: bootloader, GDT/IDT
setup, interrupt handlers, context
switching, and port I/O wrappers.
C for everything else: window
manager, apps, drivers, GUI
rendering.
Some parts I probably could have done
in C with inline assembly but I found
writing pure ASM for the low-level
stuff helped me understand exactly
what was happening at the hardware
level.
What choices looked different to you?
I'd love to hear your perspective
always looking to improve!
I had a weird build recently with the Luxo Jr model. There are a couple of cavities in the model that are partially filled in with very small parts. These parts don't connect in a way that makes then structural. I'm still puzzled why these parts are there.
In very simple terms, Roblox is an MMO based exclusively around user generated contents (games, items, assets...), including its own virtual currency, microtransactions, marketplaces and convertibility to/from real money. Roblox as a company takes pretty hefty cut from all transactions.
There has been a silent shift in the gaming market over a long time now. Roblox is one aspect of it. Another is the absolutely massive amount of money raked in by some free to play mobile phone titles. For example, Playrix has a revenue comparable to Ubisoft, but their main products are a series of match-3 type games for phones.
Back then, the market was much, much smaller than it is today if I'm doing the math correctly. Zynga reached an early peak in the early 2010s, but multiple companies, including Zynga (at least pre-acquisition) reach bigger revenue numbers today.
It's not to shut the kids up, it's to shut them in so that all the Karens that rat your ass out the minute your kid is spotted outside on their own won't be able to kick off an investigation based on a phone call that it's illegal for you to even see the complainant of in the report.
Society basically expects you to hide your kids if you can't watch them every second, the externality society imposes on parents is the costs of boarding them up inside.
The irony here is that Windows used to be a good shell on a truly terrible kernel around Windows 3.1/Windows 95. Now, it is a bad shell and UX on an actually really good kernel.
XP did have somewhat better backwards compatibility to 95 and 98 if memory serves correctly, especially for games.
Also, I remember that Windows 2000 required new drivers for lots of devices, but XP stayed compatible with most Windows 2000 drivers, so it ended up supporting more hardware immediately at its release.
It's been 25 years, so my memory may be incorrect.
Less than perfect solutions can make certain types of video games more interesting because the domain of potential results is generally larger and can include many more variations of challenges to the player.
