Slightly off topic, but I was discussing with my wife getting a kindle for my son (8) recently. Any recommendations for alternatives? I have no problem using calibre to convert the books, and manually transfer from my PC. It just needs to

If those people writing the Bills could sudo they would be very upset.

That makes so much more sense

It's a work around to them making changes to deliberately change the expected results of pressing "back"

I don't mean to derail (and thank you for the - horrifying - link), but why the hell is that a "short". It would have been much better being a normal video (with time controls).

Title should be "The secrets of the Shinkansen" which is odd for a (very well written) piece about Japanese commuter trains (non-shinkansen versions). Maybe it's a carry on though "This is the third article we have relea

It's been a hell of a morning for llama heads - first this, then the claude drop and turboquant. I'm currently setting this one up, if it works well with a custom LoRa ontop ill be able to run two at once for my custom memory mana

Agreed. We can either use our real names (bad plan IMHO) or deal with the fact that without the consequences of our actions, there are a lot of arseholes around. Moderation is the answer, I think there's no way around that. HN show&#x

Oh perfect timing, my son was asking me what that table was when we saw it in a show the other day. Thanks :D

As it's enabled by default, does that mean everything has already been siphoned off and now I'm just closing the gate behind the animals escaping? Shit like this shouldn't be allowed.

Oh cool, thanks.

Non-playstore applications will have restricted access(sms/telephony), and bit by bit the screws will be tightened. "Only 0.0004% of the userbase installs after the initial 24 period, greater than x% take 48 hours or more so the 2

This has really moved up my timeline of switching to Graphene. Admittadly I was being lazy and not checking if Line works on it yet, but I'll be finding that out this weekend it seems.

So it seems it will work as they intended. "I did not expect such a mess", I certainly did. Another arm of the push to remove anonymity online.

by marak830 7mo ago
Exactly. Slowly the screws will be tightened, saying "oh the age gates are too loose" and will need ID verification, step by step.

How the hell are you managing that. On a simple micro level I can figure it out, but as a whole over the entire house? o.0

I was thinking the same thing. Would be interesting to see their usage over timezones.

I'm a big believer in the slippery slope, once the smallest hurdle is passed, it's a small thing to say "Oh anyone can lie, so now we need them to ensure it's true."

I'm getting really tired of people trying to use "for the children" to be able to identify every user and remove anonymity from the internet.

Wonderful writing. As someone who is in exactly the same boat (as I assume a lot of us here are), being called on for family tech support for around 30 years now, I too am starting to reconsider recommending windows. My son is getting to t

Oh that Live Kaiwa looks interesting, I might try it out this weekend with my wife and son (native Japanese). Anything to help my admittedly horrible Japanese

Well there goes my weekend. Thanks!

Careful, I enjoyed this bonus (being in Japan and not being able to keep up with the ads)... so much so, that I started ignoring the Japanese. Including my wife. You can imagine how well that went.

Oh I'm looking forward to playing with this one. But as a solo-dev-on-the-side I really wish Anthropic would create another plan, I'll happily pay for a pro-double to give me twice the usage. The $100 package is a bit brutal whe

I'm against needing to give my personal ID to use a simple service. Especially when it's already been leaked once. No thanks, there are other services I can use.

Well that's both unsettling and informative. It would explain why I seem to be a better gamer on a good sized monitor unlike the oversized one I have now. (I am ignoring the aging factor here, deliberately. Denial isn't only in

I run a separate memory layer between my local and my chat. Without a ton of hassle I cannot do that with a public model(without paying API pricing). My responses may be slower, but I know the historical context is going to be there. As wel

That's a really interesting concept. Either once they open source their build (or I get over my innate laziness) I could use something like that for my build at home (more of a horizontal stand style thing, looking at the monitor) - m

I think it's more a dependency and less a derivative (there isn't any source code/game objects being distributed via the mod as far as I can tell.) I would be very interested to see how a court would rule on this, as AFAIK su
