That's why I'm a great fan of positive confirmation steps before such changes with possibly large implications. The whole change needs to be shown to the user with all changes marked and then you confirm once more that that is wha

I think 'upsample' is the root cause here. Technically that is a misnomer.

The benefits keep stacking up! Joking aside, that was one of the worst own goals in history.

I haven't actually watched the last two seasons yet but the first ones are amongst the best stuff I've ever watched on a screen. So thank you for the heads up.

Every one of BM's episodes is extremely good. Fifty Million Merits has so many parts that show precisely how evil technology can be.

Good on device TTS is an amazing accessibility tool. Thank you for building this. Way too many of devices that use it rely on online services, this is much preferred.

Conda was fantastic up to some point last year and since then I've had quite a few unresolvable version issues with it. It is really annoying, especially when you're tying multiple things together and each requires its own set of

I think your coworker was quite smart. Investing and gambling are close enough that for many parties they are indistinguishable. I've heard investing described as 'gambling for people with more money'. The biggest difference

Ah you are referring to the 'sps' bit. Ok, but I think the extra sentence is enough clarification of what they mean, even if they're wrong about what the device is doing. The only time these are interpolating is when they are

What about other drivers in that lane? It would have to be 100% sure that any other drivers near it would have enough time to react as well.

And those in Brussels are all by American giants that want EU bureaucrats to know they take privacy seriously.

That means that for the acquirees that was the only option on the table so GP is likely right.

That's one that I didn't have on my bingo card for 2026 but it is funny to contemplate.

Not having the UK in the EU makes English a better choice, not a worse one. It was one of those things where the UK had a 'home court advantage'. This is one of the strangest fringe benefits and of course there were some countries

Well, even robotaxi's can't beat the laws of physics. There isn't some kind of god riven right to transportation, it is always conditions permitting.

Not sure if mkeeter's comment has been ninja edited but it says between samples , it doesn't say it is interpolating to generate new samples.

I think a lot of us do. But right now that promotional material looks more like a rigged Microsoft demo than the real thing.

Unless you are privy to secrets at a level that they contradict the EU official figures + the figures from the defense contractors that I am tracking this is as accurate as I can make it. I do not have access to information from the militar

That's straight from the EU figures. No way we are below 2024, the trend is accelerating, not diminishing.

I know who you are, no worries. As for the realpolitik within the EU, I'm close enough to the fire that I can see the slow changing trends and I have some hope that once Orban is dealt with we'll see some serious improvements in h

Reporting is messy and due to the EU's fragmented linguistic nature harder to come by than it probably should be. The balancing act is to increase stockpiles whilst supplying Ukraine which is consuming almost as fast as we're prod

That was the 2024 figure. In 2025 it rose to 2.1% and this year it is expected to rise further. And that's just the direct allocation, not the under water part including venture funding of some of the defense industry (obvious overlap:

GP is in Europe afaik. Which makes some of their comments that much more strange.

I don't think so. Colin Powell sold it and he had a stellar reputation. A lot of people found it very hard to believe that he would stake his reputation on this if it wasn't true. It wasn't, and he rightly never recovered fro
