<p>No, it finds over a hundred of sync points it can match with the translated subtitle (either via reference subtitle or audio track). How the interpolation between the sync points is done I haven't checked, but it fixes gradual drifts, offsets, gaps, etc. It syncs basically everything.</p>

<p>The biggest subsidies for EV in Germany are subsidies to consumers, which apply also to Chinese cars.<p>Subsidies to manufacturers in Germany are much smaller than both: subsidies to consumers in Germany, and subsidies to manufacturers in China.<p>So, there are different subsidy types with different subsidy rates which all impact the market. Higher rates usually have a higher impact, but type of subsidy can also change what kind of an impact they have. Any comparison quickly becomes complex.<p>I posted some numbers in an other post [0], but the numbers are not exact.<p>Subsidy is also one of many factors. Of course you also need capable people and manufacturing capabilities which China has. So, subsidy alone is not enough, but if needed capabilities exist, subsidy at high rates can help tip the scales.<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49920502">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49920502</a></p>

<p>> VW AG is partially state-owned, with a double-digit percentage held by the federal state of Lower Saxony.<p>Yes, but those are two separate things. Lower Saxony owning part of VW doesn’t mean VW gets extra public money because of it.<p>High subsidy rates alter market dynamics. Can we agree on that?</p>

<p>Yes, but not nearly to the same extent.<p>First, the subsidies to consumers for electric vehicles in Germany apply to all cars, not just those built in Europe. This effectively subsidizes the competition from China.<p>For subsidies to manufacturer, as I didn't quickly find any source making the direct comparison, I asked LLM to research it (I apologize for for this, but doing it manually would take too much time).<p><pre><code>   BYD: ~15% producer-focused economic benefit under the Commission's methodology; 17.0% including the legacy NEV fiscal scheme.

   VW Europe: ~0.2–0.7% is my best public-data-based estimate of currently observable and allocatable producer support; roughly 0.7–1.3% if we deliberately make aggressive assumptions favorable to VW.

   VW extreme stress test: ~2.5–3.2%, obtained by implausibly allocating essentially all VW Group grants and tax credits to European BEVs.
</code></pre>
EU Commission's investigation calculated countervailable subsidy rates for Chinese BEVs: see "3.10.3. Calculation of subsidy rates" for a aggregate subsidy rates.<p><a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1738249752833&uri=CELEX%3A32024R2754" rel="nofollow">https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=17382497...</a></p>

<p>Agent that has its own computer, plugins to connect it to various services and probably it's own memory. A virtual personal assistant. You could have different specialized Dots each with its own plugins, memory and instructions.<p>That's how I understand it.<p>Cloud compute means its work VM is isolated from your devices, so it can't destroy your local data as easily (unless it has access to your devices) and it's on 24/7. A big negative is that you are giving access to even more of your services and data to a third party and the lock-in into a walled garden happens once you start depending on it.</p>

<p>The guidelines you linked state: "These Guidelines do not address the circumstances under which a processing operation may fall within the exemptions from the consent requirement provided for by the ePD".<p>Let's check what "Opinion 04/2012 on Cookie Consent Exemption" [0] says under section 3.6:<p>"""<p>3.6 UI customization cookies<p>User interface customization cookies are used to store a user’s preference regarding a service across web pages and not linked to other persistent identifiers such as a username. They are only set if the user has explicitly requested the service to remember a certain piece of information, for example, by clicking on a button or ticking a box.<p>...<p>These customization functionalities are thus explicitly enabled by the user of an information society service (e.g. by clicking on button or ticking a box) although in the absence of additional information the intention of the user could not be interpreted as a preference to remember that choice for longer than a browser session (or no more than a few additional hours). As such only session (or short term) cookies storing such information are exempted under CRITERION B. The addition of additional information in a prominent location (e.g. “uses cookies” written next to the flag) would constitute sufficient information for valid consent to remember the user’s preference for a longer duration, negating the requirement to apply an exemption in this case.<p>"""<p>See that you need to provide provide "information in a prominent location (e.g. “uses cookies” written next to the flag)" to be able to store user preferences in persistent cookies. You don't need consent banner for that (which I didn't say you need), but you need to clearly inform the user. The act of setting a preference together with clear information about persistence counts as a valid consent.<p>[0] <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/opinion-recommendation/files/2012/wp194_en.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/opinio...</a></p>

<p>Yes these can be used as alternatives sometimes, but they are not really the same thing. We need a streamlined way for reusable libraries (written in different languages) to be consumed by different languages while not being limited to a specific runtime or platform. When code from different languages needs to be able to run inside the same process, with low calling overhead and avoiding copying when possible.<p>Your answer just throws in anything that enables programs to communicate somehow, ignoring all the differences and tradeoffs to what is being discussed here. Many of your solutions lock you in to a specific platform, a language or add a non-trivial overhead like message serialization or add an unnecessary complexity to a program. Also, IR does not solve the same problem as ABI.</p>
