Von wegen technologieoffen: Wie das ZDF berichtet, haben sich Minister Wissing & Staatssekretär Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen. Unterstützern von "HVO100 goes Germany" wurden exklusive Treffen mit Wissing oder Luksic in Aussicht gestellt - gegen saftige Bezahlung.
Luksic übernahm sogar die Schirmherrschaft für die u.a. von Tankstellen - Lobbyverbänden finanzierte Kampagne.

The simplicity of Dutch public transport tariff sometimes leads to illogical pricing.
For instance this 30-minute-long tram ride is cheaper with a tourist ticket for € 3.40 than when paid as you go with a transport or payment card.
I wish Dutch cities learned to implement price caps, which are common in virtually all other countries.

Long before #Rosetta & 67P/C-G, there was Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 & its devastating 1994 encounter with Jupiter.
I was privileged to be part of the team that made & released the very first images of Fragment A impacting at ~20:15 UTC on 16 July, 30 years ago last night, as seen from Calar Alto in Spain.
The brightness of the impact plume was a huge surprise & the following week saw intense astronomical, media, & public engagement.

Another privacy win for NOYB: Your data is up for grasps? Not so in the EU – not even for Meta’s AI!
Meta’s ‘legitimate interest’ to use Facebook and Instagram user data to train its AI models met with backlash in the EU.Tuta
In terms of creating a less bias AI model, it is better to have a more diverse training model. Thus, if many data subjects opt-out to this training attempt, in the long run there will be a worse off propaganda machine.
This is one of those current dilemmas between quality of model and acquiring of data.
After reading an article on the average news site, there are usually links to articles of dubious quality that are often salacious clickbait. These are usually Taboola ads.
It is thus a huge surprise to hear that Apple plans to run ads from them in its News and Stocks apps.

It's striking that so many continue to deny the Nakba when it's all so well documented. This excerpt is about the ethnic cleansing of Lod (Lydda) in July 1948:
- it's very clear that the intent is on driving out all residents of Lod, not just those who could pose military threats
- Israeli heroes (David Ben Gurion, Yigal Allon, Yitzhak Rabin) were directly responsible for ordering and implementing the expulsion
![Screenshot of a page that says:
Ben-Gurion was at Yazur that afternoon. According to the best ac- count of the meeting, at which Yadin, Ayalon and Allon, Israel Galili and Lt Colonel Yitzhak Rabin, chief of operations of Operation Dani (and of the Palmah), were present, someone, possibly Allon, after hearing of the outbreak in Lydda, proposed expelling the inhabitants of the two towns. Ben-Gurion said nothing, and no decision was taken. Then Ben-Gurion, Allon and Rabin stepped outside for a cigarette. Allon reportedly asked: ‘What shall we do with the Arabs?’ Ben-Gurion responded with a dis- missive, energetic gesture with his hand and said: ‘Expel them [garesh otam].’88
Within minutes, at 13:30 hours, just as the shooting was dying down, Operation Dani HQ issued the following order to Yiftah Brigade HQ:
1. The inhabitants of Lydda must be expelled quickly without attention to age. They should be directed towards Beit Nabala. Yiftah [Brigade HQ] must determine the method and inform [Operation] Dani HQ and 8th Brigade HQ.

I've been quietly working on a fast and lightweight neural Text-To-Speech (TTS) model for NVDA/SAPI.
The next step is training the model, and that requires some serious GPU power. Unfortunately, those resources are a bit out of my reach right now.
This is where I could really use your help, if you're interested!
Hubert Figuière reshared this.
Thanks for your contribution. Really appreciate it!
For this month, Pneuma Solutions provided GPU resources for training. But I still accept donations to ensure we have enough resources for future training needs.

You have to enter your password using this *very* Frenchy keypad. You don't have lowercase letters, the blanks are not spaces but just non-clickable gaps, but as a compensation you have some weird symbols that your keyboard does not have a key for (e.g. `µ`).
