Thanks!

KOReader doesn’t support Japanese vertical rtl layout without a hack (e.g., rotating the fonts) is the single reason I don’t use it. The stock software on Kindle, on the other hand…

Thanks to the author, I now have a whole lot of destinations to walk around town. I will take some photos of every library and upload to the app soon too!

I am working on a self-hosted library server for jailbroken kindle and opted for using pure Rust for the KUAL app to sync books and annotations with the server. It's just running `…

I have a pipeline of jp epub>m4b, just need to swap tts models in between :)

Exactly. Qwen only has one pitch accent for pure hiragana words, even though it actually work (removing mandarin mixed-in), which requires some great efforts to normalize text in o…

I'd love to see a monolingual Japanese model sometime in the future. Qwen3-tts works for Japanese in general, but from time to time it will mix with some Mandarin in between, makin…

An (un)obvious connection between Eraserhead and Bloodborne (spoiler!): https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/xgu21c/eraserhe...

If both are selfish, then neither is selfish. You conveniently deconstructed the concept of selfishness and I like it a lot.

If that was the reason, Gemini must have been doing some very convoluted reasoning...

Tangent. Yesterday I tried Gemini Ultra with a Django template question (HTML + Bootstrap v5 related), and here's its totally unrelated answer: > Elections are a complex topic with…

It's interesting to note that you consider having children a selfish choice, because in some cultures, not having children is considered selfish.

I live in Germany. After dual-using Google Maps and Apple Maps for a year, I've finally uninstalled Google Maps and now use only Apple Maps.

I resonate with the top comment on Tildes that suggests we need a singular conglomerate to cover all media types. We actually had one from China, douban.com, but the situation of c…

Does anyone remember scriptogr.am? It was a similar idea, but it's long gone now. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=scriptogr.am

As the saying goes, "no news is good news".

Is there anyone out there building a federated Wiki based on ActivityPub, given it's such a fad nowadays?

No, personal web in China almost doesn’t exist anymore because you need a ICP filing [0] to legally operate a website (even for a blog). It’s simply too much trouble for most peopl…

There's no adventure if you know what lies ahead. But I suppose some are fine without adventure in their lives.

I live in a small college town in Germany. My workplace is a 15- to 20-minute uphill walk away, my family doctor is in the building next to where I live, and all my friends are wit…

I made my web app into a PWA and even went so far as to polish the home screen icon and splash screen to make it look nice once installed. However, in the end, I use the browser mu…
