Doesn't seem inconsistent to me. I may want my code to be open source so that other humans can read it, understand it, build on it, and contribute to it. I may also have a philosophical opposition to generative AI at the same time - th

I'm sympathetic to your point, but at some point other people ruining themselves degrades your experience as well. I don't gamble and in theory don't care if others do. But prediction markets are affecting sports and possibly

The X3 and X4 both have an SD card slot, so it's theoretically possible to store it at least. Actually searching and browsing it is another question.

Not personally familiar with the details, as I don't have any Amazon devices. Sounds like it involves jailbreaking and per-model differences: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Ki..

Worth mentioning it's not limited to Android! It also runs on Kobos, Kindles, Pocketbooks, etc.

I’m running Crosspoint on the X3, and am quite pleased with both the software and hardware. It even supports reading progress via Koreader sync, which I use on my main eInk devices.

Is it actually stylistically close to how you'd write it? If I reformulate your comment in slop style I'd do something like: The language is natural. Normal. Human. Who could question its authenticity? The original example isn&#x2

Pieces of writing don’t really exist in isolation. Your opinion of a given chunk is formed not only by it, but by everything else you have read. So in one part the negative reaction is to staleness. Everything sounds the same. If it was all

Are you capable of empathy only for people related to you?

From F#, most likely! C# converges more and more on F# with every release.

It really doesn't have to be. Your standard zigbee smart lightbulb, for example, behaves exactly the same as non-smart lightbulb - you flip a switch to turn it on and off. You have the option of integrating it with automations and serv

To do this in Home Assistant, you'd probably want to run Music Assistant and integrate it in. Looks like they manage to support some streaming providers, not entirely sure how: https://music-assistant.io/music-providers

Yeah, I’m having a hard time imagining how no-wake-word could work in practice.

The nerve center would be your Home Assistant instance, which is not this device. You can run Home Assistant on whatever hardware you like, including options sold by Nabu Casa. This device provides the microphone, speaker, and WiFi to do wa

You can actually integrate LLMs with Assist pipelines, it’s just orthogonal to this hardware announcement. Check out https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/06/05/release-20246/...

You can do exactly that - set up an Assist pipeline that glues together services running wherever you want, including a GPU node for faster-whisper. The HA interface even has a screen where you can test your pipeline with your computer’s mi

With existing phones and laptops, there’s either activation friction (pressing the “listen to me” button) or the device has to be always listening, which requires a lot of trust in your hardware vendors. With an open source and potentially

I feel stupid. I read “automatically syncing ebooks and audiobooks” and thought StoryTeller was a file synchronization service (like SyncThing) that for some reason only supported certain file types. Maybe “syncing ebooks with audiobooks” w

You seem to be asserting that these people are homeless because of their addiction. Why are you so sure the causality doesn't flow the other way?

It's a feature but also sort of an anti-feature. To do anything productive you will need to reach for a lot of .NET libraries, and those will force you to write code differently than you would if you could live in blissful pure-F# land

This is true of all consumer products, not LEDs specifically. LED lighting has been mainstream long enough now that you can find plenty of information on which specific brands and models are decent. My personal anecdote is that I have yet t

Err LEDs do not burn out at all in the same timeframe as incandescents. If this happened to you, the LED bulbs were defective.

Have you tried recently? I’ve been playing with music-assistant, snapcast, and shairport-sync on some raspberry pi zeros. Synchronization has seemed to work incredibly well during my experiments.
