Fell For It Again-award

I got baited into clicking another AI post.



Got that too. But then when I hit Back, I somehow ended up on the page.

WTH.


>we're not making this decision because we're in trouble

Oh boy, I've heard that one before. They're in trouble.


Reading a map isn't that hard. It just sounds like an elaborate way to illustrate navigation with crayons. A cool product demo, but not very useful in practice.

I can see the value of it, certainly, but it's also probably Google's creepiest product. The street where I live, you can see inside peoples kitchens and living rooms on Street View. I had to ask Google twice to block my house, because they fucked it up the first time.

By MP4 I assume you mean AAC in MP4. I'm a bit confused by this. What emits AAC that then needs transcoding to Opus? Not that transcoding losses really matter for this application, but the pipeline is not clear to me?

Very interesting project, by the way.


So this is only for termux compatibility. On a standard distro it skips this step entirely and goes straight from raw pcm to opus.

On termux 'termux-microphone-record' is a wrapper around androids 'mediarecorder'. It doesn't support raw pcm output. It records AAC in m4a wrapper and then the extra ffmpeg package converts this to rawpcm so it can follow the same pipeline.


Today Markdown. Tomorrow WordArt (but with AI probably).


>reduce dependence on U.S. tech firms

Let's have a look:

    $ host -t A digmin.dk
    digmin.dk has address 172.232.147.252
    digmin.dk has address 172.233.57.17
    
    $ whois 172.233.57.17 | grep -i orgname
    OrgName:        Akamai Technologies, Inc.
    OrgName:        Linode
Pathetic.

This kind of press release happens every so often. It's an election year, so that probably explains it. Nothing ever comes of it. As someone employed in the danish public sector, I'd love nothing more than to never have to use Outlook again, but it's unlikely to happen.


>pretty successfully with email

Indeed. I was going to register an account somewhere the other day, and the signup form had a list of acceptable email domains. Gmail, Protonmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Icloud... a few others. It's not the first time that's happened to me. Sad.

EDIT: Didn't even include Fastmail, who's pretty big after all. They host MX for my domain, so I could have "circumvented" it that way with their disposable address feature, but nope.
