Nobody is saying that. I'm reading more underwhelment. Oh, the halcyon days of three months ago when a new flagship from a frontier lab generated excitement rather than a shrug.

Fable 5: I give it work, it tells me things that are true and that make sense, it does good work. Opus 5: I give it work, it makes false statements and draws weird conclusions, I correct it and get it on the right track, it thrashes around

It's wild to watch old videos of DDT application and attitudes back then. https://youtu.be/-UiCSvQvVys Plenty more out there.

I think you'll need to replace the mainboard with one from ifixit. Not aware of a debug interface, but in the absence of that, you'll need to desolder the nand module and replace the files there with the help of another owner. The

I admire and support your effort, but the title makes it sound like you couldn't run apps in the past. Nickelmenu deserves a mention in the opening paragraph and a differentiation of what this new piece of software brings to the table.

Likewise. I'd had a Kobo Glo HD for more than 10 years and it was still going strong. I looked at the new color screens and they didn't look as clear to me, though it was a subtle difference. Only got the Clara BW because I wanted

I encounter freezes mostly when I enable Bluetooth/wifi. Haven't tried on a multi-core kobo but I imagine the UI thread can keep running there. When reading, agree on it being more than sufficient. My recommendation is partially b

KOReader probably lets you edit text files but I only use my kobo to read. Have not tried connecting any external devices.

0 issues using nickelmenu out of the box. I recommend enabling ssh (native kobo feature) so it's easier to modify the config without needing to plug in, though obviously this is optional. If you connect over SSH, I would recommend not

You can already do that. Look into NickelMenu.

by the-grump 26d ago
For the unaware, there is an existing solution that integrates with Kobo's native software (Nickel). It has been maintained for years, and it supports every Kobo AFAIK. It's called NickelMenu, and it's great. I'm in the

It certainly reads like it. Bots are everywhere now.

Sure, that's why I said implicitly. Publishers will always state a maximalist position but the truth of what they accept is what they tolerate without suing.

And, regrettably, The Archive lent books regardless of physical possession. Publishers had accepted the prior arrangement before The Archive decided to push it, if not explicitly then implicitly by not suing. I'm a believer in The Arch

Sure, that's true until you hit a difficult problem where the smaller models thrash endlessly whereas its big sibling can solve it with one prompt.

As a member, the gas savings pay the annual fee, and I get my staples from Costco every few months. Peanut butter, paper towels, TP, tissues, and sometimes mushrooms and washed greens. Everything else I'd rather get from my local groce

Can you elaborate on SELinux? It affected me too but I just had to add :Z to my mount argument. Curious about whether there's further impact I'm unaware of.

I presume he's exhilarated that the government is taking the threat seriously and banning foreign nationals from accessing these super dangerous tools. Congratulations, Dario!

Did you read what you shared? It’s talking about security cameras, low-bitrate video. FTA: "Myth Busted: At security camera bitrates (400-800 Kbps), H.265 provides negligible compression benefits. The marketing claims of "50% savi

Still they are not notes, which means GP continues to be valid.

This is exactly what I meant. It's not the ability to build things; of course you can. The progress has been in agreeing on a coherent interface everyone uses and which handles 99% of what most projects need with minimal friction.

That's a fair question. It's part ecosystem, part tooling. The ghcup, stack, cabal mishmash is closer to maven than a tool with a modern streamlined UI like cargo. And yes, Haskell is significantly more expressive than Rust--at th

As someone who loves Haskell more than any other language, some challenges are - the tooling is decades behind, say, Rust or Go - finding the right library in looks very different in Haskell--you frequently start with the signature on Hoogl

Every time I see a post about the TI calculators, I think about how much I dislike their interface, and it's all because I started out on a Casio.

It's usually a small amount of waste, and handling gas is very different from distillate. You'd need to either liquify that gas or collect it to a pipeline in order to make it useful. I remember reading that modern refineries make

If your mind goes to TLS when you read crypto, you surely do live under a rock ... in bliss.

That is understandable, but the issue is the sudden drop in quality and the silent surge in token usage. It also seems like the warning should be in channel and not on X. If I wanted to find out how broken things are on X, I'd be a Gro
