V poslední době přemýšlím nad tím, jak jsem chaotický člověk. 🤯 Mám spoustu zájmů a nadšeně skáču od jednoho k druhému. 💡 Generuji jeden nápad za druhým, ale na realizaci už nezbývá čas. ⌛ Pak jsem nešťastný, že okolí nestíhá toto mé tempo a často míří jiným směrem. 😢 Možná bych potřeboval zpomalit a spoustu aktivit opustit, ale to se snadno řekne...

As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hu… #Volksdaten

✨ One year ago, I released 'Lullaby'. 🎶 This song holds a special place in my heart. Just like a lullaby brings comfort, I hope 'Lullaby' offered you some solace. As we welcome a new year, let's cherish the memories and embrace the hope that comes with fresh starts. Happy Holidays & a Happy New Year! ✨

#LLMs are a fucking scourge. Perceiving their training infrastructure as anything but a horrific all-consuming parasite destroying the internet (and wasting real-life resources at a grand scale) is delusional.

#ChatGPT isn't a fun toy or a useful tool, it's a _someone else's_ utility built with complete disregard for human creativity and craft, mixed with malicious intent masquerading as "progress", and should be treated as such.

After 6 months and about 333 commits I proudly present:

Faircamp 1.0 – A static site generator for audio producers
simonrepp.com/faircamp/

To recap the highlights of the past months and learn what's new in the final 1.0 release, check out the blog post: simonrepp.com/posts/faircamp-1…

Development of version 1.0 was made possible through the amazing support, funding and expertise of the @NGIZero programme and coalition, led by the @nlnet foundation and financed by the European Commission's @EC_NGI initiative – thank you so much for giving me and everyone benefitting from a better Faircamp this incredible opportunity!

Also, many thanks to all faircampers, contributors, testers, translators, bloggers, podcasters and encouraging voices for supporting this journey - for the final 1.0 release specifically to @branpos for release candidate testing, @n00q for bugreporting/testing, @limebar for the external artist page feature inspiration and @Vac for their diligent translation work.

Along with this release I've published multiple new documentation resources - from an official Linux/macOS/Windows tutorial to a 1.0 migration guide, from an overhauled reference manual to a beginner's guide to publishing faircamp (or any!) static sites - check out the website and recent posts in the #faircamp hashtag to discover them!

That's all!

Thanks to @spacepup, I got my hands on a demo of a Czech text to speech software from 1993 called CS voice. When opened, it automatically reads a prewritten text describing the program's various functions and features, but in a fun and humorous tone.
The first link leads to the recording itself, and the second contains a translated transcript of the recording.
If you're curious about the history of this TTS software, I highly recommend reading the article linked below. It's in Czech, but includes a bunch of recordings and insights into the development of speech synthesis, not just in the Czech Republic but more broadly.
If you're a fan of the history of text to speech, I think you'll find this really fascinating.

The #38C3 presentation about the massive #Volkswagen data leak is over and the leak was as bad as it sounded. 100,000s of cars could be located down to cm precision. Also a lot of metadata that is NOT supposed to be public. Disturbing.

The main takeaway was that the real problem here wasn't the leak itself, but that this data was collected in the first place.

I agree. It's not a good idea to create mountains of very personal data and then pray it never leaks.

“The data centers powering the AI industry are fueling higher levels of dangerous air pollution, according to new research. In a paper titled The Unpaid Toll: Quantifying the Public Health Impact of AI, scientists say this pollution could lead to up to 1,300 premature deaths each year by 2030. On top of that, the public health costs—ranging from treating cancer and asthma to covering missed work and school days—are estimated to be hitting around $20 billion annually.”
