    Anybody online right now? Only roughly two days remain for the lottery draw.

    Good morning

    Good morning, Bas. What's on the agenda for the day?

    Work

    Most of you guys have work :(

    Yeah, I blame society and its dependence on money and material things

    Me as well. We should live in a society with no idea of money, go back to the basics.

    I agree

    Would be messy, but, I think, better in the long term.

    Just some kind of purge. Like in the movie.

    There are closed societies around the world that have experimented with this.

    I think the leaders normally end up arrested for child abuse though

    Yah, now that I think of it, it's a common theme with succ societies. They either get caught embezzling funds or turn out to be mega perverts into all things unimaginable

    Usually both

    Yup, he did see me comment.

    I did indeed. Thanks, I'll hopefully have some time over Christmas to look into it some more.

    Yah, since we are on that topic and you did mention about voice cloning efficiency, let me tell you both index and F5 are great at it. They can even clone your voice with almost 100% accuracy with just a 12 second audio clip. But, to have better, you need to have atleast 1 hour dataset ready

    Also, while we are at it, also check the preferred duration of dataset audio per sentence of the model you choose. I wasted days training with long duration audio when some models specifically need every audio clip to be specific duration range.

    Oh good to know

    So I'm just wrapping up a few things before bed and I noticed

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=RIdOHTCVS9c

    For me, it's 05:00 when it goes live lmao

    Around 9AM Dec 13 for me

    That's a good time.

    Unfortunately, that's the time for me in India. could be different for you.

    Very different:)

    Cursed timezones, I guess.

    I dunno. Unlike my timezone exept for winters. Like it's gets dark after 4PM

    Oh yah, I dunno if it's climate change or related phenomenon, even we have darkness post 5PM during winters here

    The further north you are the larger the seasonal difference in sunset and sunrise times.

    Yah, learned that in geography. Iirc, more land in north being a factor as well I guess.

    No, it's how far you are from the magnetic equator. Amount of land isn't important.

    Good morning and what a lovely day it it!

    It is definitely a good day.

    Yeah, cold but lovely. Enjoyed my morning run.

    No cycling today, after all that talk of bikes?

    No. Not today. Maybe for a bit to run some errands but no proper distance.

    Cos of your sleep deprivation and all. It ain't healthy.

    I know, sara, but, my plans depend on the gaming PC, so, I have to keep going.

    I meant King Charles the Third!

    Yah yah, I know :lol:
    Somehow calling someone "king" in literal sense of the word, in 21st century feels weird, if not superfluous.

    well he is a king nonetheless and holds supreme power in the britsh commonwealth.

    Yah, that's what concerns me. It's have been completely alright if British royalty was just a non-executive authority, close to the President of India.
    But, no, I believe the British parliament still needs to take permission for some procedures from the monarchy, but the executive authority still rests for the major part with brit parliament, if I am not wrong.
    Someone being given powers to administer a country in any capacity just cause they were born into a certain family just seems wrong for me

    It's not really that bad. Technically what you say is true, but in practice it's all ceremonial. He doesn't have the right to create or remove laws himself, his power is limited to allowing or vetoing new legislation. There hasn't been a single veto'd law for over 200 years, and the general consensus is that if the monarch ever did veto a law it'd trigger the start of completely removing the monarchy.

    In practice however, the pretence of having to seek the kings approval on everything does provide a safety net should some party get elected who decided to completely destroy the rule of law or government. For instance, if a UK party tried to act the was Trump has done this term, just enacting laws and decrees without any discussion, I'd hope the monarch would actually interfere.

    But yeah, TLDR: it's basically just ceremony.

    I understand. But, yah, no one is apolitical. That's the hard truth. In such a scenario, what happens if the monarchy decides to side with a Government that wants to have no deliberation for lawmaking?
    But, yes, no system is foolproof. In India, the judiciary is superior over the parliament when it comes to lawmaking for the most part, while in Britain, parliament is supreme. But the equation of having monarchy in this scenario doesn't seem to excite confidence. At the same time, our system also doesn't bring any confidence to the common people at times

    That's the thing. The king has to side with the current government, even though his view is frequently different. Actually Charles was always been pretty good for decades before he became king championing various social action concerns.

    The interesting situation is that he has the power to put on the emergency brakes to stop the government changing the status quo. So if governments keep on doing normal things, there's no issue, he just keeps saying yes to everything, even if he personally disagrees with it - because it'll have been debated by both the house of commons and house of lords, and generally laws are reasonable if they survive both. Not always, but usually. For something completely radical that changes fundamental law to pass, it'd have been debated a lot by both current politicians and the lords (effectively retired politicians who tend to resist change), and so whether you personally agree with it or not, it's probably a good compromise of all viewpoints.

    If the king ever did step in to veto something, it'd effectively be saying that he doesn't trust that whole process, and generally people think it'd lead to chaos, but certainly making a stark question of who SHOULD have the ultimate power - the king or the government - and so that would either lead to the monarchy being removed, or it'd lead to the government being replaced and another general election is called. Because the stakes for the monarch are so high, I think it's useful to keep this emergency brake, because it's not going to get used unless there's a serious problem with the government that can't just be dealt with in the normal way. That's why I gave Trump's executive proclamations as an example. That just wouldn't be tolerated in the UK, except under very narrow circumstances such as wartime and needing to make an immediate decision. Even though, those decisions would be scrutinised and heavily debated afterwards, and if they were bad could lead to a vote of no confidence, which triggers a general election if the threshold is passed.

    Got it. Yes, looking at it from that angle, that definitely is a good safety to have incase of some volatile government taking charge. And yes, it also depends on the king or the royal family's stance at the time. So I guess, I am just asking if giving such a veto power (provided I understand that this will be used only in the case of an extreme emergency in an ideal situation) to monarchy, who are there only because of their birth into a royal family is the correct approach. I mean they aren't voted in or anything.
    But, I definitely understand what you are saying though. Since the royal family has a huge stake in keeping UK and it's government stable, they won't do anything detrimental.

    To be honest, in some ways it doesn't really matter who has that power, just that it exists. And it's just a power of veto against change, not the ability to proclaim new stuff, so the power is limited to just stopping bad stuff happening (if you assume that what we already have is good).

    But actually, the hereditary family stuff also works well. Not because they have any more right to that position than anyone else, but generally because they're removed from the day to day concerns of everyone else, that they generally have a more impartial view than either of the main parties. They're not going to sneak in tax laws that harm the poor or harm the rich, because all that stuff is beneath them. They just want people to be happy enough to not want to overthrow them.

    I don't like ai power consumption... Fucking up nature

    True, GPUs are power hungry and were a good reason for CO2 much before AI - mining!

    World going to shits cos we wanna make memes!

    LOL! True. But, there's no regulation stopping it. Infact, some countries have taken stringent measures. I guess it was some SEA country that crushed GPUs with a road roller to teach miners a lesson a few years ago.

    Lol, that would be a pretty sight!

    Was heartbreaking instead

    Tough on crime, I like it.

    Here we sometimes crush expensive cars that are driving around but haven't been taxed. Good to have one rule and apply it consistently even if it occasionally produces results that seem undesired.

    Oh it's there in UK as well? I saw some other country where the LEA just crush cars used by drug smugglers and ganglords that were either used to smuggle drugs internationally or were smuggled themselves internationally. Definitely a pain to watch

    for drugs etc the cars would probably be seized and auctioned off and the money just gets given to the government.

    Crushing is for stuff where that's the specific rule, like an untaxed car on the road. Obviously there are exemptions, like if it's only just passed the expiry etc, but if they found a car on the road that wasn't taxed, that'd be the default action. Although honestly, I've not heard of it happening "accidentally" for years now. Porbably because you have to register a car as being untaxed and off the road as well, so it'll just be cars that people have abandoned that end up being crushed normally.
