Theres a long trail of smaller stores, including Kobo store and ebooks.com Standard Ebooks for high quality public domain books, though they also offer azw.

I feel like the pelican test can't be relevant anymore; the whole point was to to something that wouldn't be in the training set at all and now it is?

Sure that part is a specific problem which is that new browsers basically want to declare their hacks profile against people who have already written sites and won't update them. I…

> principle, you could perhaps statically link protobuf into the CPython executable, but I really don't think Google is doing that.) Yes, we actually do exactly this (not just prot…

I just can't see how it could make sense to define features when a ton of the the behavior wasn't even intentional but just tons of bugs. I recall debugging issues that only reprod…

I feel like this is with 2026 view where browsers are so mutually compatible. In the bad old days there were so many differences between html, css and js behaviors that if you want…

GoGo was not a completely separate implementation but deeply hooked into the official GoProto implementation. So it wasn't "Protobuf the binary wire format" or "Protobuf the schema…

Well, there's still two implementations even without getting into the quoted case. But yeah, narrowly about the C++Proto shared memory thing, unfortunately it's so hard to make thi…

Engineer who works on Google Protobuf here, commenting as myself and not as an official statement. It's great to have a healthy ecosystem in the world around Protobuf. Google can't…

I wouldn't conflate old computers and old browsers. I still use an over 10 year old laptop and it still has a latest browser.

I'm not trying to agitate you here and won't keep looping on the same question after this reply: I just do not understand the threat model here, and you're still being oblique as t…

Nissan Leaf motor is silent, there's really just objectively not a noise from the motor itself which could offend you. There's still some possibilities here: maybe you came across …

Sorry, you're going to have to spell out the risk for me here. What other cases have we seen that indicate that mass surveillance via smart speakers is a risk? We all also have pho…

There is literally any noise from the engine, whine or otherwise. Whether a noise is bad or not can be subjective but silence is objective. So at least for that one it kind of draw…

Can you spell out the ramifications for the plebs? As far as I can tell home smart speakers are being used for warrantless mass surveillance, unlike Flock for example. Do you mean …

I'm old enough to have used computers before having any Internet, and in 2026 the idea of plugging in devices to transfer files to it does feel like a fiddly relic of the past to m…

I believe the feature is that you have a pending unreleased video and go to an llm for tips. When getting the tips it uses the pending video content and your recent videos info as …

In 2026 things have changed, there's literally whatever tens of thousands of "security" reports that are almost all bogus as a raging crap river. I think theres very little chance …

What noise pollution do you hear from electric? You mean the noise cars make when they are backing up or what?

It's not 1% here though... Graphene has 300k users worldwide. There's 8 million absolutely illiterate and 150 million functionally illiterate people in Europe for comparison on sca…

It seems it is just like macOS releases, they have a number and they give the numbers arbitrary names to refer to them?

Fingerprinting to detect bots seems mostly relevant for things which are not DOS, so that percentage doesn't seem like the relevant one. Bots manipulate review scores, posting link…
