Something that others haven’t mentioned is that you can flash an open source OS/reader software (Crosspoint, among others) so you can change the UI and experience for your preferences. I like having an e-reader that lets me modify how

I replaced the battery on my kindle 4 not that long ago. It had the best UX for extended reading when compared to newer kindles. The biggest downside was not having a frontlit display. I recently switch to an xteink x4, and found that seve

Same here, I quite enjoy it. Plus there is open source software available, such as crosspoint. It’s easy to flash and an opus call away to change the behavior if you want something to work differently.

This is awesome! Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind implementing your own version instead of using Al Dente. The straightforward UI is really appealing. I paid for an Al Dente license long ago and have been very happy with it, sail

They have an ultrawide mode available now. Personally I find it very uncomfortable. You have to move your whole head to see the sides, and the vision pro is heavy. Looking off to the side for a length of time is uncomfortable.

It would be nice if the search provider could be configured. I would like to use this with Kagi.

They have a free demo that is fairly extensive. It should give you a good feel for whether the game is worth it to you.

If you find this topic interesting, David Imel put together a fantastic deep dive. He spent four months of research, went to Japan to interview the creator of emoji, and put together a very good video on the topic[0]. [0] https:/&#x2F

I agree with your observation, although it seems unpopular at the moment. It’s clear the video is slowed down and seeing how his hands respond at the end of his action, it looks like he’s throwing the wheel very quickly. The tires start m

Like others, wanted to say thank you for writing Aider. I think you've done a fantastic job of covering chat and confirmation use cases with the current features. Comments on here may not reflect the high satisfaction levels of most of

This is amazing, thanks for sharing it! I’ve been thinking about building something along these lines, so it’s great to see a working model.

I completely agree. A huge business with a singular focus isn’t going to pivot into the music business (or any of the myriad use cases the general public throws at it). And if they did use someone’s info, it’s more likely an unethical emplo

During a job interview I was asked to teach something off the cuff. There were two interviewers in the meeting, so I decided to show the difference that a good mic with good placement can have on call quality. Switched from my nice mic that

I would be very interested, depending on cost. For pricing models, JetBrains (PyCharm) has a nice setup, although it could be more user friendly. After 12 months of payments you get a perpetual fallback license[0]. The more user friendly ve

Also a very satisfied customer (since 2015). I’ve used this to do everything from making clunky software easier to use to automating aspects of games that I didn’t want to do manually. Clunky software example: connect to cisco vpn each day,

Your comment about being continuously narked reminded me how in early human history people relied on low-alcohol beer as a safe water supply. So back then it was a double-whammy. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article&#

I was curious for a summary of what the book suggested. Here is Kagi’s summarizer: - Emotional maturity and stability are key traits for a happy marriage. People who are well-adjusted, have good self-confidence, and can handle problems well

For applied maths I agree with you. But when exploring novel and innovative approaches I disagree. There is so much we can learn from finding new ways to look at the world. The initial take may be complex or clever, but it can lead to a dee

I have wondered about sensory input being needed for AGI when thinking about human development and feral children[1]. It seems that complex sensory input, like speech, may be a component of cognitive development. https://en.wikip

It’s been really helpful for picking up a new programming language. Particularly around helping me understand conventions in a language I’m not familiar with. GPT-4 has been great at breaking down complex regexes that I am too lazy to parse

I want to reinforce your plan. Somehow I played factorio for a few hundred hours before finding online communities and blueprints. It was a wonderful experience of discovery and exploration. I came up with a few "novel" designs du

Your reference to gas powered cars going that way (a bit more slowly) made me wonder about how quickly some product lines were disrupted in different industries. First mass produced digital SLR was by Nikon in 1988[0]. So this would represe

I looked into buying one a few weeks ago but ultimately decided not to move forward. One reason was that it comes with a pre-configured list of 500 chords, so it's up to users to create their own beyond the initial list. The other was

Just seconding this. They have had stock fairly regularly, and they have a pretty good notification email for when they will have new items available. I purchased a 3090 from them, along with a few other parts.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and explain; I didn't understand how it works.
