Hey y'all. Drunk driving is whack. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU RUN OVER LOCAL MUSICIANS WHO ARE WALKING HOME FROM THEIR BARTENDING GIG WHICH THEY HAVE TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T VALUE WORKING MUSICIANS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THEM IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO FOCUS SOLELY ON THEIR MUSIC.
Anyway. Go support Luke Trimmer's Go Fund Me to help with his medical and recovery expenses.
And DON'T. FUCKING. DRINK. AND. DRIVE.
The great Pain au Chocolat / Croissant war has a winner at the venue. It indeed is a Pain au Chocolat
Hace más o menos una hora empecé a leer "Yo, robot" de Isaac Asimov, y ya voy en el capítulo cinco. Estoy alucinando con todo lo que estoy leyendo, y eso que nunca fui fan de la ciencia ficción más allá de la space opera.
👋 Hi, #scholars, tell us, why are you on #Mastodon?
🔍 We are researching how and why academics use Mastodon compared to other platforms. Is it key for #academic #discourse?
🔜 We'll launch our #research survey by mid-October, so stay tuned.
📣 Meanwhile: what features of Mastodon do you find most valuable for academic discourse?
And which other questions should we include in our research, you think?

Vercel v dubnu updatoval ceniky. Misto tradicniho pomaleho utahovani sroubu to fakt napalil a zavedl "Edge Requests", za timto kryptickym popiskem se skryva jakykoli request. (cti: assety)
V EU za to platime $2.60/1M requestu.
Zjistil jsem to, kdyz nam Volebni Kalkulacka vesele napocitava 5.6M Edge Requestu za den. Jeste, ze nejsou prezidentske volby a senatori dodali odpovedi tak pozde!
Cas z Vercelu odejit.
Pro predstavu porovnani jednoho dne senatu a prezidenta.
Pokud se dobře pamatuju, tak Vercel byla jen pěkně zabalená AWS Lambda.
Kdyby pomohla nějaká asistenci s nastavováním přímo na té lambdě, tak nabízím pomoc.
@verosk Diky, je to tak, sluzby Vercelu bezi nad AWS cloudem. Je to trochu komplikovanejsi a psat bych o tom moh cely den. Ale v zasade to tak jednoduche neni, Vercel ma custom runner, ktery je brutalne optimalizovany a nahradit se da spis na EC2/EKS nez Lambdy. Ale ztrati se tim veskera vyhoda, proc to takhle delam.
Jednoduchost a DX.
Budu to resit stejne jako to delam na Unreleased, oddelim do vlastni CDN vcesko, co pujde a tim snizim requesty.
buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Por fin es viernes. Hoy tenemos: movidas varias con órganos colegiados, cuestiones sobre el plan de radón, y la memoria balance. Y aunque todavía no lo puedo decir, a lo largo de la mañana diré: chove en Santiago.
Another design session and then some initial coding for the next THunderbird live streaming.
If you're a #language nerd like I am, then you won't have missed the @mozilla #CommonVoice v19 #speech #dataset release - which now features 131 languages! Here's my #dataviz, done in @observablehq of the v19 #metadata coverage.
I've updated the visualisation this time around with human-readable language names instead of their ISO-639 or BCP-47 language codes to make it it easier to read.
There's some interesting observations:
▶ Catalan (ca) continues to be leader in terms of data - speaking volumes about the efforts to revitalise culture and language in Catalunya. It's also one of the few languages that has data for all age groups, particularly older speakers - this sort of data is missing for most other languages.
▶ Kiswahili (sw) is one of the languages where there is more data for female-identifying speakers than for male-identifying speakers ♀ - although Japanese (ja), Western Mari (mrj) and Luganda (lg) do pretty well here, too!
▶ Sentence domains can now be categorised, and although most new sentences are "general", Albanian (sq) has a lot of sentences related to law and government.
▶ Tsonga (ts), a Bantu language spoken in Southern Africa, has dethroned Icelandic (is) as the language with the highest average utterance duration. I don't know enough about Tsonga to speculate why - it's a somewhat agglutinative language, but many Tsonga works are generally short.
▶ Bengali / Bangla (bn) has a significant amount of data that is not yet validated, and therefore does not appear in training / dev / test splits. There is a similar case for many languages new to Common Voice - it takes time to validate.
▶ The language with the highest number of average contributions per speaker is Taita (dav), a Bantu language from Kenya.
What do you make of the data visualisation? Are there any other insights you can see?
Big thanks to the CV team for all their efforts - EM, Jessica Rose, Dmitrij Feller and Justin Grant.

I can't believe voters in the US look at all the stuff people in Europe are protected from with GDPR and they're just like, "nah, we don't want that legislation that has zero negative impact on us, and protects us from our data and art being perpetually stolen for techbro AI space data centers."
It's not even like EU employment protections, where insane Reaganomics BS insists companies will fall to socialism as a result.
Like, this could be us, but you are most definitely playing.
A few years ago, I gave my mother a WiFi picture frame for Christmas, from this company: pix-star.com/
This evening, I was visiting my parents for my niece's birthday, and when someone mentioned the picture frame, I got to thinking about how far a photo goes when my mother sends it from her phone or tablet, to the associated cloud service, and then it gets downloaded to the picture frame, especially when she's sitting in the same room as the frame. 1/?
- an account can be shared by multiple users
- an account can be used without any real user
- "user" can be a gendered word in other languages, so it is highly probable that the translations will excludes women, non-binary or agender people

Are there other training corpus out there like Common Corpus that are built using exclusively public domain or openly licensed content? What LLM's use only Common Corpus?

Anyone using NVDA, have you found with 2024.4 beta 4, that reviewing Windows Terminal is very sluggish?
I haven't seen any reports of this yet. A couple of things to try:
1) Fully restart the PC after updating.
2) Press NVDA+q, then down arrow to "Restart with add-ons disabled" and enter. If resolved, work through add-ons one by one to find the culprit.
Following those, it would be great to get more info. Set log level to "Debug" (on general settings") restart with add-ons disabled, replicate problem, then please write up an issue on github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…
Regular reminder that if you are not targeted by a particular form of oppression, you do not get to decide what "counts" as problematic in that area.
Some examples that are routinely getting mishandled around these parts:
If you are not Black, you do not get to decide what is (or is not) anti-Black.
If you are white, you do not get to decide what is (or is not) racist.
If you are cis, you do not get to decide what is (or is not) transmisia.
If you are not Jewish, you do not get to decide what is (or is not) anti-Semitic.
If you are male, you do not get to decide what is (or is not) sexist.
If you do not have a particular disability, you do not get to decide what is (or is not) ableist with regards to that disability, and no, experiencing one particular disability does not qualify you to talk about all others.
Not deferring to the targets of these forms of oppression is, by definition, continuing and upholding that oppression.
Also, since apparently it still needs to be said over and over, weaponizing the oppression you do experience to try to invalidate others is no good either.
