EVs are rich people offloading tax burden to less fortunate ones.

Previously (last year) various taxes made almost half the fuel price. We don't have green/car taxes where i live, everyone charges their cars at home and brag how 'cheap it is'. Additionally you can drive in bus lanes if you drive EV (capital only) and you have the perfect nepotism scheme - no taxes, premium transit for anyone already rich enough. No politician dares to bring this up as solution would lead to the introduction of general car tax (political suicide) so once again everyone else is left to pick up the bill after the rich.


The considerations above apply equally in China. It is overtaking America because of exactly the kind of thinking you are repeating from internet.


If you ever said you'd pay for a browser that doesn't exploit you nows the chance - donate to the project!


Their DoH going down for hours multiple times is what forced me back to cloudflare, i don't trust cloudflare more but at least it works consistently.

Additionally the default of blocking 'malware' doesn't jive with uncensored internet - that should be an opt in and not a default on their flagship address if they want to be taken seriously as unfiltered provider.

If the encrypted endpoint can go down for extended periods and they curate list of 'malware' they are not something that should be considered a gateway to uncensored and open internet.

> Meet Chantal, your image processing AI librarian

Instant pass.

Edit: This appears to be their 'knowledgebase' and not something baked into the app.


It's just an ordinary search engine for the specialized topic. Aurelien Pierre is being overly dramatic here, it's in his character.


You dumb or what ?

Under Chantal, there use to be Word2Vec, now replaced by FastText. Aka a shallow neural network building a language model that understand synonyms and some EN/FR translations, by embedding words as vectors in a vector space built so cosine distance represent semantic distance. It was called AI when Google published Word2Vec and Facebook FastText, I didn't made it up.

I mean, I wrote 2 articles on the topic explaining how it's built. Each page in the index is represented by the centroid of all the word vectors it contains, then it computes the cosine distance between the centroids of the pages and the centroid of the request and returns the closest matches. Aka not your regular grep.

Overly dramatic yourself, Internet minion. All opinions and zero substance.


Please calm down, I had no intention of offending you! I agree, of course that's AI, just a pretty... commoditized? kind in 2026 and a long-winded explanation of word2vec or even mention of it is probably not necessary. What I meant it's not the sort of model anti-AI people would oppose, in response to an "instant pass" knee-jerk reaction.


I can't find that on the page.

Edit: I finally found a reference. It's a separate project that has nothing to do with the photography stuff. Right?

It's a way to search the docs?


You make a software, people want tutorials. You make tutorials, people want docs. You make docs, people won't read them and their questions end up in your mailbox.

So Chantal is the missing link in all that, it lets users be autonomous while researching their questions while aggregating various sources of knowledge on photography software, color science, bugs and docs. It's Ansel docs and much more (ICC, CIE, academic journals, forums, etc.)



> hardware based

Sounds good until you realise theres no way to transfer/back them up and you are limited to 100 [1] (previously 25?).

Personally my password manager has almost 4x the entries so hardware passkey solutions are a joke leaving users with single option - upload their keychains to ms/apple/etc clouds where they can be requested by any gov under the sun for x reasons.

That limit is only for a certain Yubikey model, not for all hardware-based fido2 authenticators.

> upload their keychains to ms/apple/etc clouds where they can be requested by any gov under the sun for x reasons.

If a HSM module (TPM, Apple/Android Secure Enclave) is used the private key is impossible to extract (and upload to a cloud) anyways


> That limit is only for a certain Yubikey model, not for all hardware-based fido2 authenticators.

Do you know who offers more? I deliberately chose Yubikey as example as their limit was the highest. Others like Nitrokey etc. support even less.


Even if there are keys that offer more, the number 1 brand in hardware keys having that limit is not a good look if the idea is to transfer 'everything' to it.


Passkeys were invented so hacked sites could brush off their leaks with "no credentials were leaked" and minimise any regulatory fines. This is the reason why its being pushed by the big players.

Additionally this puts the same players in control of your logins - want to sync your passkeys? - enable "iCloud Keychain", or some other 'trust me bro' app that will 'securely store/sync your data' - no thank you.

In perfect world users should be able to generate a certificate, upload it to a couple nfc capable ubikey like devices that blow a fuse afterwards preventing from additional writes/reads and use that to login to every app ever. You would buy such devices in packs of 3, upload same cert to all, hide the other, burry the third.

What does one buy if they want a 1080p60 action cam with stabilisation that doesn't overheat, has good battery life and acceptable low light performance (think rainy day in the woods)?
