selfsigned

Light ~110cc scooters in most of South East Asia are used for just that actually, and a lot of Western European cities have a rather large cargo e-bike push. Reducing heavy road traffic also makes it easier for EMS to get around.

PS3 right ?

"Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, was killed by dart frog poison administered by the Russian state two years ago, a multi-intelligence agency inquiry has found, according to a statement released by five countries, the UK, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands"

Oh reeeaaaaally? Interesting comment history you have too.

I'm not sure how happy they actually are about it though. I think most people have a bit of Stockholm-syndrome relationship with it, the highest tier of argument refutation in France might honestly be grammar-based :P

(And it did motivate me to go abroad.)

Really proud as a French, I think the government has had some success with moving to something matrix based for the public sector too. https://tchap.numerique.gouv.fr

I just hope we end up having more wins at the EU-level, instead of massive fails like GAIA-X...

In what world is this kind of things a necessary evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27état , I'm not convinced that any of the large scale interventionist conflict the US got involved into after WWII had a positive outcome. Senseless foreign inference and cruelty didn't just come about with the Trump admin.

So should we really applaud selling shiny new toys that will enable more baseless cruelty? Probably not. Just like we shouldn't support political terrorism.

Will this really do any good when this kind of legislation magically appears through lobbyists simultaneously across the West? Let's not forget that blocks like the EU also have significant bullying power via trade policy.

But are you not worried about the democratic precedent that treating citizens as de-facto minors and arbitrarily withholding information, with little to no oversight, will set? And your kids seeing the fully realized end of that slippery slope ?

What if your government decides that anything LGBT is taboo for kids[1]? Or that informations about say, ongoing genocides, is deemed too graphic for kids. Won't that also increase the blast radius to people who didn't bother justifying their age, even though they supposedly also have the right to vote?

You're right, they reference IOS in the README.md and link to the GitHub repo from the Apple Store page yet don't include the IOS source, sneaky.

Two (very quick) minutes on their GitHub repo and it's pretty obvious that they're using firebase-analytics and at the very least seem to be sending URLs[1] and infos such as the model you download or the capacities[2] you use.

I don’t think it holds up beyond passive listening for me, the violins sound quite off and break the illusion from the get go. But different strokes for different folks

Legitimately curious, do you have some examples of great AI music ?

After getting bombarded with it in public spaces (namely cafés), I’ve come to see it as a worse copyright-free replacement for muzak. I’ve even subconsciously begun avoiding these places. When my brain randomly decides it wants to pay attention to the music, the whole shtick sounds grating in an uncanny valley kind of way that’s almost impossible to un-hear.

Trying Lyria 2 after that ordeal might’ve also amplified my bias against it, as everything I prompted ended up sounding like a robotic top 50 pastiche.

Maybe there’s a parallel to made with LLM prose here ?

(disclaimer: while not a musician I do enjoy listening to human-made less-mainstream music)

It leverages AWS’ infrastructure, your app code runs on lambda and you get a cloudfront (AWS CDN) distribution link.

You can add to the built-in constructs via CDK (urgh) or pulumi (with SST ion).

I’ve found that a lot of developers would rather not have to think about where their application is going to run. This is a real shame, especially when there are free tools like SST that bridge the DevOps gap, making things like AWS and IAM less of a pain. Even better, there are complete self-hostable platform solutions like Supabase or the classic Docker Compose. However, the shared downside with these solutions is that they require some setup when it comes to deploying, unlike the magic of Vercel.

I do wonder when we started losing interest about where our code is actually being executed ?
