The worst thing is that there is nothing technical preventing this kind of service from running fully local. All the audio is already being routed to any participant and transcript…

There is also visual snow syndrome to keep you company at night.

That is likely true, but there are other factors. For example delayed sleep phase paired with fixed office work hours. I bet many people that have a slight 1-2h shift compared to t…

In some regulations you can also be expected to declare and pay tax on the money you earned from the interest, which can be annoying to do for such small values.

More of direct experience instead of a scientific explanation, but it feels cold to the touch. I would guess it is related to thermal conductivity.

This is one of those words that can sound exotic, but for the locals would be so plain and uneventful to hear. Kinda like all the Japanese words being used for software project nam…

Could be that reading makes you less likely to expose to dangers that could kill you by entertaining you in a safer environment, could be that reading makes you have better decisio…

I think this is an important nuance that may be missed in the article. The teacher pulling the parent aside to ask her to check her child made me remember what my partner said abou…

Interestingly, I remember that the clean interface of old Reddit, not so different from current HN, was one of the nice things when coming from Digg back in the day. It started dyi…

You need Android in that case, but that defeats the simplicity of these devices.

Here is a different opinion. I’m always looking forward to see the pelican whenever a new model is released. It’s plain simple to understand, memorable, subtle enough in terms of d…

503 and then rate limit here for refreshing once.

My guess is that they identified two different groups of consumers, the ones who want to buy the cheapest product in China and the ones that want it hackable. If they sell it cheap…

I guess it’s becoming harder for MS to define malware in a way that would catch this behavior but does not flag their own products as well.

I was just looking into it, with coupons and ongoing sale, it is possible to buy the Chinese version for about 7,500 JPY (45 USD) on Aliexpress, while on the official website (and …

Better to buy devices that can work without internet and just blacklist them at the router level. Price or origin is not a good metric to ensure no leaks.

Exactly, not everyone is using Arch, btw. Fedora with Gnome just work to the point it is boring.

Not gonna argue with the point that we need to support authors, but “can be purchased” is a relative concept.

Arguably there was not much interest on those platforms. I believe you will be right eventually when physical access of the actual machines are kept away from us, so it’s a matter …

I mostly program with Vscode/Copilot, where such commands require confirmation, but usually LLMs does not try it, since my prompts tend to be focused and not mentioning it.

You are not alone, for me committing something it means I am signing my responsibility for it. I may not type a password, but I am always the one pressing the enter key.

Something like the Pocket 386 but with a regular size keyboard could be the perfect device for this purpose.

The table select option in Okular is also great, as you can manually rearrange the divisions. For low volume, of course. Tabula will work better otherwise. I also suggest Libreoffi…

Not a heavy user but I got a feeling for this early since I have a Copilot subscription I get for free as an educator. I used in a day or two the limit that would last me a month. …

That is an area where the article did not touch, how realistic are token prices with Deepseek and the likes of it? Is it being subsidized?
