    That just tells it which languages to serve if the video has multiple tracks, including Ai-generated ones. "Keep original language" should be the default, or at least an opt-in. An…

    The EU couldn't agree amongst themselves because the US (and its biggest vassal, the UK when it was in the EU) did everything to prevent such agreement. We'll see what the States t…

    The main reason people pay expensive ESPs is deliverability, which is practically impossible when self-hosting when it comes to marketing, non-transactional emails, and in any case…

    Assuming it's translated literally from French, and the meaning of the French verb "couper" hasn't changed since the Middle Ages, it means mixing with water, and is a widely used e…

    The article says the depiction may reflect idealization, and is also a deliberate inspirational portrayal.

    And malnutrition isn't only about lack of food, it's also about mediocre quality of food: > Similarly, new estimates of adult obesity show a steady increase over the last decade, f…

    I'm in France, but my Google, browsers and devices languages are English. So Youtube randomly auto-dubs (and auto-translates the title of) some French videos into English, and some…

    If only it was that easy. I'm French living in France. My account settings are in English, my browsers and apps (phone, TV) are in English but my Youtube region is France. So Youtu…

    I had a cheap VPS (kimsufi) with them for over 10 years and I don't remember a single downtime notification. Before that, I had another for 5 or so years and I received two notific…

    It's a bad, very literal machine translation. ChatGPT would do a better job. A billion in French is 10^12 (1,000,000,000,000) so I doubt they truly served "billions de requêtes".

    Unpredictability. If you restock and the tariffs are eliminated or significantly reduced a couple of weeks/month later, that's a disaster. So the best attitude is to wait and see.

    That's what happens when the entire education system is optimized for grades instead of the use and acquisition of knowledge. In this case, LLMs are just laying bare our failings a…

    The biggest game-changer is that whatever MCP server I need, I can just ask Claude to code it.
