Because of the weird phrasing of some sentences, my first thought was "hmm, something interesting from China?". Then I saw the price is in Euros, then I found that it's a German company. What I mean is, it's a sales page

I hate myself for saying this, but guys, just get someone to fix up the English around the website. It can't be that difficult. Looks like a great product, aimed at a specific niche, I think details matter

You'd think it would be easy to track with a database of "Active projects" with tags, easily searchable, and a point on the to-do list: "Check for the existence of projects with similar functionality before starting a ne

I'm fairly sure they could still control and monetize such a product. Kind of like Android. Maybe there's already something like that in the works, with all the talk and investment in AI, we should be seeing some real world result

That's AIcist :D

Ah you may be right. Personally, I'd give it all of my information short of financial/state ID/name and maybe accurate location if it means having a real personal assistant.

It's ridiculous how poor in functionality all of them are... The best they can do is, what? Creating schedule entries, for me. All I ask Google is the weather, time, some search when I'm lazy and translate (the voice translate app

Ooor don't, you can always stay miserable or kill yourself, I guess.

If just CBT works for you, great. Everyone else, just do yourself a favour and go get some medication. Life's too short to live it miserably stubbornly denying the effects of drugs.

Ah yes all the poor alcoholics who are barely alive must be really enjoying their life. And all the poor who just killed themselves have accomplished everything and decided to call it a day. Please, if you're lucky enough to not know d

You're right, there doesn't seem to be much payoff for lying on that particular topic, especially at that time. Just my suspicion, nothing more.

I just... copy the links and paste them into Google Keep :D Really fast and searchable, I usually find myself searching for the same shit after a while, so Keep is another destination. But now I realized I may want to back them up somewhere

Pretty sure they were aware of the East India Company (both Dutch and British), and other powerful mercantile organizations.

I used to really like that guy... But I got a suspicion that sleep experiment may have been fabricated. There is zero proof beyond the blog posts :/

I definitely couldn't do it. After about a week, my body would just crash/go to sleep by itself, world be damned. Same, or rather, worse, when working 12 hours a day for more than ~2 weeks. I just start thinking "what the fuc

I think it would be really easy to create an app that would also listen to a very specific phrase (like "Hey Merlin", simple pattern match, with a few minutes of training for your own voice) and then start Google Assistant. It&#x2

Microsoft had speech recognition since WinXP. And also Dragon Naturally Speaking. Both needed a couple of hours of training, but worked really well, completely offline, it was amazing for me at the time. It did have a very high processor us

Mixed plus whichever feed you request to enlarge sounds more reasonable.

I still use Winamp for offline music. Nothing else is faster.

Most of those have nothing to do with OP's point, which is that some software uses way too much processing power than it should. While on the topic, let's remember the speech recognition software available for Windows (and some

It seems to be human nature. There's not a lot of logic in most things we do, yet we do it. Cars don't need to be so comfortable, phones don't really need desktop grade hardware, food doesn't need to be so elaborately ma

Wow, OK, I guess I haven't lived in/near the actual worst... Seems rather wild to me.

Isn't that already the case? :/ Only government legislation is working. It is people pushing for it, but they still mostly have the same mentality of "I will only do X when everyone does X".

I always hear about these bad neighbourhoods and it sounds very interesting to me. So it's like, you can drive through one and get yelled at? Mugged? Carjacked? Shot? Is it true and if yes, how is this possible, I wonder what's fu

There's no blame, it's just an observation. One could use WordPress or Hugo. Or a Reddit account. The latter brings instant viewership and feedback. The former gives you more control. There's no fight here, people choose what

Blogs haven't gone anywhere, now they're just "posts" on major platforms. That's what people chose, because it's easier. They gave up content rights and many, many possibilities for the ease of posting and the

They haven't gone anywhere. And the small ones are just as hard to find as before. Furthermore, most people choose to "blog" on the major platforms, probably because it's easier and they don't care about ownership o

Look, I know it's important history and all, but looking at it realistically, it's a tiny part of the information the average person needs. Them removing Reddit, EdX, Sci-hub or the Hong Kong Companies Registry from search results

What are they blocking anyway? Anything important? There's so many Chinese forums for hardware/firmware hacking/mods, a shame translators are still very bad...
