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-musleabihf` with a .cargo/config.toml:
``` [target.armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf] linker = "rust-lld" rustflags = ["-C", "link-self-contained=yes"]. ```
the downside is I can't use any c-deps. :)
I have a pipeline of jp epub>m4b, just need to swap tts models in between :)
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 voice cloning) your favorite CV speaking in some weird, unknown accent :)
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.
An (un)obvious connection between Eraserhead and Bloodborne (spoiler!):

Apple Books has some rare exclusives. To name one, all of Norman Berrow's novels are only available there.

If both are selfish, then neither is selfish. You conveniently deconstructed the concept of selfishness and I like it a lot.
If that was the reason, Gemini must have been doing some very convoluted reasoning...
Tangent. Yesterday I tried Gemini Ultra with a Django template question (HTML + Bootstrap v5 related), and here's its totally unrelated answer:
Elections are a complex topic with fast-changing information. To make sure you have the latest and most accurate information, try Google Search.
I know how to do it myself, I just want to see if Gemini can solve it. And it did (or didn't?) disappoint me.

It's interesting to note that you consider having children a selfish choice, because in some cultures, not having children is considered selfish.
I live in Germany. After dual-using Google Maps and Apple Maps for a year, I've finally uninstalled Google Maps and now use only Apple Maps.
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 alternatives, such as nicedb.org and its fork, neodb.social, but I find them somehow lacking.
Does anyone remember scriptogr.am? It was a similar idea, but it's long gone now.
As the saying goes, "no news is good news".
Is there anyone out there building a federated Wiki based on ActivityPub, given it's such a fad nowadays?
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.
There's no adventure if you know what lies ahead. But I suppose some are fine without adventure in their lives.
I live in a small college town in Germany. My workplace is a 15- to 20-minute uphill walk away, my family doctor is in the building next to where I live, and all my friends are within a 40-minute walking distance. The situation was almost the same when I lived in China, in a smaller town two hours' drive from Guangzhou. I've walked my whole life and don't even know how to drive. I've almost taken for granted that one should be able to walk to any place that is important to them; perhaps it's not that universal elsewhere?
I made my web app into a PWA and even went so far as to polish the home screen icon and splash screen to make it look nice once installed. However, in the end, I use the browser much more frequently, simply because I can access the URL of the page and share it elsewhere.
I will let users decide whether they want comments or not. I've also considered public/private notes, as I am working on something similar, and I've reached the conclusion that people post on a web app because they want to be seen; otherwise, they would just write in their diary. Private notes always give me a sense of false privacy, as anyone with admin access to the database can read whatever private things you've written, unless you make it clear to users that "private" means not viewable by other users but not private from the admins. An alternative is to offer an offline app, private notes never sync to the server (cross-device syncing can be done by iCloud, for example).
I know this is very niche, so I implemented it myself :)
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 review, right? Most of the time, it's just, "I like this sentence," "I've had the same thought once," or "I disagree, but I like the author's reasoning," etc. These are ephemeral thoughts that occur during reading, and most of the time, they are lost. It would be nice to have a convenient way to capture them.
StoryGraph actually offers a very close feature called "Track progress", with which one can, well, track progress and add notes correspondingly. But it's only enabled when the status is "currently reading". Ideally, it should extend to any status, one can certainly have afterthoughts much later after reading a book, or even pre-thoughts before reading it. :D
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 even kept a diary of your thoughts while reading. A new GoodReads should offer these features. I was inspired by the "How to Japanese" blog, where the blogger once tried liveblogging while reading 1Q84[1]. How wonderful would it be to see what others are thinking when I am reading the same book on the same page?
Just want to say thank you!
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 lot of money and have been able to spend it elsewhere :-D
Actually, this is up to Nintendo and Sony, not Apple...
And they will likely have to enable side-loading in the EU next year, which will allow us to play almost all retro games through emulation.
It's more likely that the authority will establish their own App Store, and everyone will be required to install national security-related apps from it.
Slightly off-topic: I didn't have the opportunity to visit industrial sites when I was a kid, so I made it up to myself by watching lots of "THE MAKING"[1] as an adult.
[1]: "THE MAKING" is the Japanese equivalent of "How It's Made." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps_X1TqiJZQ&list=PLOEDIkStOh...
