thanks! none of the audio is AI generated, it's all human narration, mostly sourced from librivox. (credits show when clicking the info icon) the idea of learning languages from AI didn't quite sit right with me. but that might be

thanks, that's a really good point. having some beginner friendly books for each language is definitely a goal. are you looking for stories in a specific language?

glad to hear it! went through quite a few iterations of aligning text to speech. found that ai transcription was really good most of the time but would hallucinate quite a bit towards the start and end of books. which I think might be relat

Because kg is the fundamental unit of mass and kW is typically used for electric motors. Same reason you wouldn't use m²/s³ even though that's also technically correct.

For context: I own licenses for both Affinity Designer, and the full Affinity 2 suite. Just tried the new affinity application for a couple hours and it's pretty great. Personas are now studios and as far as I can tell features from al

Possibly M1 hardware optimisation for x86 emulation?

Appreciate seeing some actual benchmarks. But it is a bit silly to round the results to seconds when they are in the single digit range.

Bitcoin has all of the problems listed in the article and is, arguably, not yet providing the social value that blockchain could. Not sure how a high market cap is a counter argument to that.

If I understand this correctly this was mostly about Google getting an unfair advantage over the ISPs. Which wouldn't be the case if everyone loses access to the IP + DNS request info.

According to apple [1] ISRG Root X1 is available all the way down to iOS 10. So that would be every iPhone since the 5. As far as marketshare goes iOS 13 and 12 make up 94% of devices [2]. So I am guessing its an insignificant amount of act

The title seems to imply that this affects all WhatsApp users, when it really only affects those putting a link with their phone number online. Feels like clickbait. https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/chats/how-to-us

From the linked article: This interface will not grant you access to the users filesystem. Instead you will have a "virtual drive" within the browser sandbox. If you want to gain access to the users filesystem you need to invoke

For me gmail loads and becomes interactive in under 2 seconds on an empty cache. I did not expect it to be that slow for other people. That said I do practice inbox zero, so it might just be spending time on loading a lot of mail?

You can watch 4K Netflix in Edge, which I would call browser. But the point still stands, only works with supported hardware and proprietary software. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13444

More like 3% when you combine linux and mac. That can make it hard to justify the cost. Still bs for an existing game with platform support from unreal though. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Soft

Well, I don't know the details. But AFAIK canvas drawing is GPU accelerated. So I would guess you are effectively fingerprinting the combination of browser and GPU. And that does not sound like its easy to fix on the browser side.

I would really appreciate full disclosure upfront. Hiding advertisement for neptune-ml behind a misleading title seems rather dishonest. Other than that this hits some valid points that also apply to other parts of computer science. Just ve

I do like using JWT. But its point is to offer flexibility. If you fix the entire header i.e. use a single signature method, you might just as well concat that signature directly. In other words if you stop utilizing JWT, you won’t have JWT
