It highlights reports that footage captured by the glasses may be reviewed by human contractors to help train Meta's AI systems, and notes critics' concerns about how easily people can be recorded in public without their knowledge. Although the glasses include a small LED indicator when recording, many people reportedly don't notice it. ** Links mentioned on the show ** People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans “Pervert Glasses” https://futurism.com/future-society/meta-ray-ban-smart-pervert-glasses Meta Employees Are Seeing R-Rated Footage From Its Users' AI Glasses https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/meta-employees-are-seeing-r-rated-footage-footage-from-its-users-ai-glasses/91311763 Think Twice Before Buying or Using Meta's Ray-Bans https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/think-twice-buying-or-using-metas-ray-bans ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. We'll explain why we're doing it, what it is, and cover some useful tools along the way. I've been watching movies recommended to me by my colleagues. As I work for a global company, the recommendations are often “Foreign Language”, which by definition is every movie to someone. It's often difficult to read the subtitles, or they are distracting from the acting. So I thought of converting the subtitles to speech for inclusion as an audio track, to produce a Voice Over or Lectoring audio track. Lectoring aka Voice Over Translations First used is soviet countries to read the news and propaganda from a lectors - the first podcasts ? In Polish, lektor is also used to mean “off-screen reader” or “voice-over artist”. A lektor is a (usually male) reader who provides the Polish voice-over on foreign-language programmes and films where the voice-over translation technique is used. This is the standard localization technique on Polish television and (as an option) on many DVDs; full dubbing is generally reserved for children's material. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lector#Television Example: Night of the Living Dead To give you an idea of what this sounds like I'm going to play you an example of the out of copyright movie, Night of the Living Dead . In the United States, Night of the Living Dead was mistakenly released into the public domain because the original distributor failed to replace the copyright notice when changing the film's name Original First the original sound track, then the same clip with the voice over track. Voice Over Proof of Concept As a native English speaker I find it difficult to follow those Voice Over tracks as I am trying to focus on the underlying audio. In discussions with Polish friends, it seems that this is not a problem when Polish is your native language. To put that to the test I wanted to try it out on a movie to see if that were indeed the case. I asked on Mastodon for a non English movie that was Creative Commons but did have English Subtitles, and HPR host Windigo had the answer. 2009 Nasty Old People is a 2009 Swedish film directed by Hanna Sköld, Tangram Film. It premiered on 10 October 2009 at Kontrapunkt in Malmö, and on file sharing site The Pirate Bay. The film is available as an authorized and legal download under the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-SA. So my idea was to take each bit of subtitle text, convert it to audio, then have the generated audio play at the same time the subtitle appears on the screen. We use piper to process shows here on HPR, and we also generate srt, or SubRip subtitle files for each show. SRT or SubRip files are the easiest subtitle file to work with. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip The SubRip file format is described on the Matroska multimedia container format website as “perhaps the most basic of all subtitle formats.” SubRip (SubRip Text) files are named with the extension .srt , and contain formatted lines of plain text in groups separated by a blank line. Subtitles are numbered sequentially, starting at 1. The timecode format used is hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds with time units fixed to two zero-padded digits and fractions fixed to three zero-padded digits (00:00:00,000). The comma (,) is used for fractional separator . A numeric counter identifying each sequential subtitle The time that the subtitle should appear on the screen, followed by –> and the time it should disappear Subtitle text itself on one or more lines A blank line containing no text, indicating the end of this subtitle I downloaded the movie from the Internet Archive , and then used Piper voice to convert a minutes worth of subtitles. piper_voice: A fast and local neural text-to-speech engine that embeds espeak-ng for phonemization. GPL-3.0 license Once I had the audio prepared for a sample of the subtitles, it was over to audacity to create a new subtitle audio track. Audacity is the world's most popular audio editing and recording app GPL v2 or later, Timing the segments would be a problem, if it were not for the fact that Audacity supports srt files as Labels. File > Import > Lables. Then select the srt file The subtitle track with the text of the audio will be displayed. I could then Import each Audio segment and line them up with the subtitle track for to get the correct timing. Each subtitles segment created a new separate audio file which I then exported. I then used Kdenlive to open the video and import the audio and subtitle tracks. Kdenlive: is the acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD. GPL-3.0-or-later There is a good article on adding by Jean-Marc on How to Add Subtitles Easily in Kdenlive Project > Subtitles > Add Subtitle Track Select the Subtitle file Align the subtitle and audio track. After rendering the segment out I was satisfied that this was something worth doing. The script The script can be found on the episode page for this show on the HPR site, and I put it together as a proof of concept. It creates a new audio track for the subtitles, and merges this with the original sound track to create a new selectable sound track. It begins by creating a length of silent audio that is as long as up to the first subtitle time segment begin timestamp. The first subtitle segment is converted from text to speech using Piper voice That segment of audio is added to the initial silence track. We check the total length so far, and then see if there is supposed to be silence between the last and next subtitle segment begin timestamp. If there is, then a filler piece of silence is added until the next subtitle should appear. If not then the audio for both subtitles play immediately after one another. I was worried that the subtitle audio would then lag behind the on screen dialogue but it works surprisingly well. Even long series of dialogue sort themselves out after a bit. We do this over and over again for each subtitle, right up to the very end of the movie. This new subtitle to speech audio track is then merged back into the media file as a new audio track. 96 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,640 It will be two years before it's this big 97 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,840 But don't you bother. By then I'll be long gone 98 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,400 It was just a question 99 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480 Porridge? Original First the original sound track, then the same clip with the voice over track. Voice Over Lessons learned Now that I have done this for a lot of movies, there a few tips for getting the best output. The creation of the audio track usually goes well, but you can run into issues with the merging of the new track back into the movie. Preparation The first thing you need is a subtitle file which will be the basis of the voice you will be listening to. It should be good quality so that it matches when the actors speak. It's important to clean up this before you use it, fixing spelling mistakes and removing html that will get rendered. Listening to three hours of “I L Zero ve y Zero u”, or “less than forward slash I, greater than”, or “L am from Lndia” can get a bit tedious. You should also try and get versions that translate the songs as well. Getting a SRT file from the media. As many Subtitles are taken from a DVDs they can often be poor Optical character recognition versions of the bitmap-based streams. So a picture of string “Hello World” rather than the letters. ffmpeg By far the easiest and best way to get the subtitles is to extract it from the movie itself, provided it's a separate track. ffmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. LGPL-2.1-or-later, GPL-2.0-or-later https://ffmpeg.org/ ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -loglevel error -txt_format text -i "${this_movie_file}" "${this_srt_file}" Getting a SRT file from the web. If that fails you can try to get the subtitle files from the Internet. https://www.opensubtitles.org Select your language with the highest subtitle rating. You can check the media using the mpv media player. mpv is a media player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. GPLv2+, parts under LGPLv2.1+, some optional parts under GPLv3 https://mpv.io/manual/master/ Name the srt file with the same prefix as the movie and mpv will play it. You can also use the --sub-files= option as well. mpv "${this_movie_file}" --sub-files="${this_srt_file}" Scrub through the file to see if the timing is correct. The subtitles can be toggled using the j key. Fixing Timing issues It's very important to get the subtitles to align, otherwise the voices will be out of sync. When the subtitles don't match up, it's usually that they need to have the start offset corrected. ffsubsync will automatically try and adjust the offset of the first subtitle to the first use of speech in a movie. ffsubsync: Language-agnostic automatic synchronization of subtitles with video, so that subtitles are aligned to the correct starting point within the video. MIT license https://github.com/smacke/ffsubsync pip install ffsubsync ffs video.mp4 -i unsynchronized.srt -o synchronized.srt LosslessCut will allow you to quickly remove additional trailers, or ads, at the beginning, so that ffsubsync will have a better chance of working if they are trimmed away. LosslessCut: aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. GPL-2.0 license https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut If that fails to match up the subtitles, you can use mpv keyboard shortcuts , move to the first speech segment an then press the Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right to adjust subtitle delay so that the next or previous subtitle is displayed. It will also show a number giving the miliseconds the delay is, eg -148416 miliseconds or -148.416 seconds. You can use many tools to adjust the subtitles, and I tried out SRT Offset . srt-offset: A simple command-line tool to offset SRT subtitle files. This tool allows you to adjust the timing of subtitles in SRT files, which can be useful when subtitles are out of sync with the video. MIT license srt-offset -i input.srt -offset -148.416 -o output.srt Manually adding the new subtitle to speech audio track If that presents an issue then you can use avidemux to just add the new audio track. Avidemux: is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. GPL V2 Open Avidemux, and select “File > Open”, to select the movie. Then go to “Audio > Select Track” Select the next unselected track and tick “Enabled”, “Add Audio Track” Then pick the new mixed track, in this example .~NastyOldPeople_mixed.mp3 Conclusion I now find it much easier to watch a movie with the voice over track. It gets to a point where I don't even notice it is there and just hear the actors speak in their own language, and I just know what they are saying.

Apple has announced the MacBook Neo, a $600 laptop running on the same A18 Pro processor that was used in the iPhone 16 Pro. Oh, and it has 8GB of RAM and starts at 256GB of storage. Believe it or not, lots of people on the Internet take issue with those specs, so we look at it from the point of view of whether it could be a good machine for photographers who blew all their money on a $10,000 Leica f/1.2 lens.

The MacVoices panel continues their analysis of the MacBook Neo, pushing back against reviewers focused only on benchmarks rather than real-world usability. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, Web Bixby, and Eric Bolden discuss the machine's intended audience, its value as an affordable entry into the Mac ecosystem, and its potential impact in education and retail markets.

Monorepos -- you've heard the talks, you've read the blog posts, maybe you've seen a few tantalizing glimpses into how Google or Meta organize their massive codebases. But it's often in the abstract and behind closed doors. What if you could crack open a real, production monorepo, one with over a million lines of Python and over 100 of sub-packages, and actually see how it's built, step by step, using modern tools and standards? That's exactly what Apache Airflow gives us. On this episode, I sit down with Jarek Potiuk and Amogh Desai, two of Airflow's top contributors, to go inside one of the largest open-source Python monorepos in the world and learn how they manage it with uv, pyproject.toml, and the latest packaging standards, so you can apply those same patterns to your own projects.

In this conversation, Emily sits down with Jenny Odell — artist and author of "Saving Time" and "How to Do Nothing" — to explore the importance of reclaiming our attention and time in a digital age. We explore how "learning" is becoming a lost art (and what to do about that),   experience and the role of technology in shaping our lives. From years of observation, research and her own study, Jenny brings a world-changing perspective to how we find our freedom from the forces that pull to commodify and measure every minute and relationship in our lives. In this episode, we discuss: The moment at summer camp that shaped how Jenny thinks about learning, presence, and attention How we can retain human agency in a world constantly fighting for our attention The historical roots of "productivity culture" and how it lives on today The role of language in shaping our relationship to time What the "attention economy" is and the impact it is having Why people sitting in a circle might be "the highest form of human existence" The nuance beneath the statement "the internet is bad" Why repair cafes, cooperatives, and habitat restoration projects point toward the world we're trying to build inside the one we're currently in  Resources & Links Connect with Jenny at her website, www.jennyodell.com, on instagram https://www.instagram.com/jennitaur/ or on Mastadon https://social.coop/@jennitaur/ Check out her books How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy , Inhabiting Negative Space  and Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock  Also mentioned in this episode: iNaturalist, Mastodon, The Repair Cafe movement, Vivarium (2019 film),  An Immense World by Ed Yong  Bring this conversation into practice: Join The Third Space, a practice prayer and play space to bring these visions to life with other "revillagers" who are tending to their communities IRL.

Back when Elon Musk was challenging Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight, Eugen Rochko was building an open-source, non-problematic Twitter alternative, completely without fanfare. Last year, the Mastodon founder announced his departure from the head of the social media platform in a candid blog post, citing a growing discomfort with the role and an interest in preserving the site's decentralised values. But Mastodon lives on, and – full disclosure – we're all for it. This week, we spoke to Eugen about his dreams for the “fediverse” and about whether his vision for ethical, supervillain-free online communities has a promising future. In fact, we enjoyed the conversation so much that we're releasing a longer version for supporters of the podcast.   Also in this episode: a compromise in Europe's War on Veggie Burgers and the end of the decade-long Iceland-the-country-versus-Iceland-the-grocery-store dispute.   Resources for this episode:   “‘Veggie burgers' are here to stay. Lab-grown ‘steaks' never will be.” – Politico, 5 March 2026 “European consumer insights on the alternative protein sector” – The Good Food Institute Europe, 25 November 2025 Eugen on Mastodon “My next chapter with Mastodon” – Mastodon blog, 18 November 2025 “The Statues Were Mostly Men or Nude Women. So These Knitters Got to Work.” – The New York Times, 5 March 2026   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the Apple TV show Drops of God and the Swiss Android app Nearby Glasses.   You've probably heard by now that we have a newsletter.

The newly announced Macintosh Neo has met with surprising  fervor from Apple fans and critics alike. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, Web Bixby, and Eric Bolden discuss the impact of the low-cost MacBook, and why some panelists ordered one (or more). The highlights include its affordability, potential uses in education, travel, and everyday computing. The group also examines early reactions, speculation about performance, color choices, and how the Neo could reshape the relationship between Macs and mid-range iPads.  This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Squarespace.

In this episode of Love Your Love Muscle, we explore a guided mindful cleansing practice that uses breath and visualization to draw in fresh energy and gently release stagnation.

You'll learn: Why “stuck energy” often reflects nervous system patterns How breath regulates before it releases The science behind visualization and state change A practical cleansing sequence you can use immediately How to invite in new energy without overwhelm Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TMGmeditations Follow Seb on Vero True Social: https://vero.co/seb_tmg Follow Seb on Mastodon: https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/@seb_tmg Join the conversation on Telegram: https://t.me/TMGCommunity

You're adding type hints to your Python code, your editor is happy, autocomplete is working great. But then you switch tools and suddenly there are red squiggles everywhere. Who decides what a float annotation actually means? Or whether passing None where an int is expected should be an error? It turns out there's a five-person council dedicated to exactly these questions -- and two brand-new Rust-based type checkers are raising the bar. On this episode, I sit down with three members of the Python Typing Council -- Jelle Zijlstra, Rebecca Chen, and Carl Meyer -- to learn how the type system is governed, where the spec and the type checkers agree and disagree, and get the council's official advice on how much typing is just enough.

1165. Today, we talk with Joan Houston Hall to look at the monumental task of documenting how Americans speak. We look at the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), exploring the unique folk words that survive outside of standard dictionaries and how "word wagons" traveled the country to map the "egg turners," "pogonips," and "oncers" that define our regional identities. "Dictionary of American Regional English" (DARE) Support DARE by visiting the University of Wisconsin's giving page.
