Read this at my funeral.

For nearly all of my life, I've known how I was going to die. Not from cancer, or diet, or drink, but by being crushed under a car. I will be mangled and bleed out painfully. The driver, distracted on their phone, will say that I "came out of nowhere". The police and the DA will call it an "accident". There will be no consequences of any kind. Except for my death, of course. [...]

non-cyclists that are confused by activism think that activists are attracted to cycling, when the reality is that becoming a cyclist very quickly radicalizes one into becoming an activist. Nothing crystallizes strong opinions as being frequently threatened with death by at best indifferent and at worst aggressive and antagonistic people.

People make fun of my NEON ORANGE sneakers (I walk a lot of places and am frequently crossing the street at poorly-marked intersections) but for me it's just one more chance to talk about road safety and how much dicier it's getting for all but the car and truck drivers.

@not_benis Yeah, sometimes using a foundation's infrastructure is about sharing cost burdens, but _every_ time it's about having a neutral space within which to collaborate.

Dass Christian Lindner jetzt dem milliardärsfinanzierten Desinformationsportal „Nius“ ein Interview gegeben hat, passt ins Bild. Der Mann ist eine Schande für die Bundesregierung. Was kommt als nächstes? „Epoch Times“?

Christian Lindner lebt seit er 21 ist von Steuergeldern, damals wurde er Abgeordneter. Davor war er Geschäftsführer eines Start-ups für “komplexe Softwarelösungen”, das ihn zuerst entließ und dann trotzdem pleiteging, was etwa die KfW 1,2 Mio kostete.

Nur so als Kontext.

El laboratorio de Patrick D Hsu ha descrito en Nature un nuevo sistema de edición genética basado en un elemento móvil IS110, compacto, que funciona con una pequeña recombinasa y un ARN bifuncional complementario al ADN de origen y destino, lo cual permite programar deleciones, inserciones e inversiones limpiamente, complementando las #CRISPR. Te lo explico en Science Media Centre España.

This is a really good summary of what happened with Polyfill. Great work by the researchers uncovering this. Note that:

The security research group warned that the combined impact resulting from these other three services is likely to have a much wider impact than initially anticipated.

Just recently, Cloudflare's co-founder and CEO, Matthew Prince stated that "tens of millions of websites (4% of the web)" used Polyfill.io, dubbing the incident "extremely concerning" as is.

Nullify, an Australia-based forensic investigator and security researcher has now made an even more worrisome observation.

References to the 'check_tiaozhuan', a function that represents the injected malicious code exist on "Chinese forums dating back to June 2023.

I usually ingest your upstream changes within a day of release, and get them into a Windows branch within a week. After that it’s up to the build gods… but I have it on good authority that 8.8.0 is already checked in and starting to pop up on customer machines. :)

První tút o novém domě. A hned potřebuji poradit 🙂

Dům má sedlovou střechu. Kleštiny jsou od podlahy vysoko asi 185 cm. Já měřím 187. Potřeboval bych je posunout o 10 cm vzhůru.

Není tu někdo, kdo tomu rozumí a napíše mi: Ano (Ne), je (není) to možné?

Nevím ani, kam se obrátit s dotazem. Díky.

Cyklistika není jen o radostech. Po týdnu se těším, že vyrazím, a po 30 km nejde přehazovat. Samozřejmě z kopce, a zůstalo přehozeno na nejrychlejším převodu. S vypětím všech sil jsem dojel do Milíkova, kde mi tchán půjčil nářadí a aspoň se mi podařilo řetěz přehodit na 4. kolečko. Přijel jsem do Kynšperka, kde je servis, a tam zjistili, že lanko je v pořádku, ale rozbila se páčka na přehazování. Lze koupit jen set a cena je kolem 5000 Kč, bez práce. Heute ist nicht mein Tag.

Mám už kolo v servisu. Možná je to jen otřepané a zaseknuté lanko, tak by bylo super, ale moc tomu nevěřím.

@pavelkout Jo lanka tam mám dva roky, minulý rok jsem toho moc nenajel, tak jsem měnil letos řetěz a pár dalších drobností. @KaterinaGloserova



1/3 NV Access is pleased to announce that we are using a new code signing certificate for our builds. This will give users additional peace of mind in the authenticity of NVDA builds.

In the interim, those running new Alpha / beta builds may see a warning from Microsoft that Windows Defender prevented an unrecognised program from running. It is important to be wary of unexpected warnings like this, however in this case, the warning is expected, as the certificate is new.

#NVDA #FOSS #Alpha

in reply to NV Access

2/3 When the warning appears, press tab to "More info", then press enter. Reading through the dialog, note that the publisher is listed as:

"AU, Queensland, Camp Mountain, NV Access Limited, NV Access Limited"

To allow NVDA to run, press tab to "Run anyway", and press enter to run the snapshot. This will help us get through this period until Windows considers our certificate "trusted":

#NVDA #FOSS #Alpha #testing #Prerelease #Certificate #Security

3/3 For those interested in learning more about the code signing process, and this warning, please see: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wi…"

and if you would like to test out Alpha builds of NVDA, head to: Please feel encouraged to run the latest snapshot from nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapsh….

If you do have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at info@nvaccess.org.

With the help of Dan Fandrich, I provide a more detailed explanation. Hope it helps.

The problem is that you need a pretty huge context size in order to do what you want to do, I’m actually not sure what the hardware requirements for large context models look like at the moment. I know they were pretty bad a year ago, but these things move quickly so I’d have to check at this point.
