   I recently received a PR fully automated by Claude for an 8 years old repo. The bug is legit and the scope it affects is larger than what that PR addressed, but I no longer care too much about that legacy code anyway, so I also let Claude r

   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, does care about this a lot and its implementation is very

   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 `cargo build --release --target armv7-unknown-linux-musl

   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 order to disambiguate heteronyms, the result is (if you use v

   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, making it unusable.

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

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

    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 censorship there makes it unusable. There are also a few new

    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 people. [0]: https://china-digital.com/blogs&#x2F

    For both, actually. And I realize I didn’t phrase it very well. I didn’t mean checking out what others think in real time, but only afterward, and async. And it doesn't have to be a long and complete thought, like an after-reading revi

    To me, the GoodReads model of book reviews, where one user has one review per book, seems quite limited and obsolete. If you were truly an avid reader in the past, you probably underlined text on the pages, wrote notes in the margins, and e

    I am still using the iPhone 11 Pro Max and haven't felt motivated to upgrade yet. Other than the battery life, which drops to around 20% after a day of normal usage, everything else still works flawlessly. I feel like I've saved a
