I'm improving my web app to learn languages with short stories: https://webbu.app. I've been making it easier to track your progress, hear pronunciation of words, and adding more advanced levels.

Interesting! Maybe making this info avilable to local LLMs would be useful too. Side thought: when we plan big trips I tend to pre-populate google maps with loads of markers of interesting points. I would love to be able to save this offline and combine them with other sources like youtube/instagram clips offline somehow.
I can't sign because the cloudflare verifier says I'm not human...
why do people care so much? it's just an agentic loop
Apart from the fact that some countries don't allow dual citizenships so you would loose the other one:
- cost: ~2k
- time: 2 exams
- paperwork required to keep other nationalities in some cases
- after feb 2026, you can only re-enter the UK with a British passport (more cost) or with extra paperwork to enable your other passport (more costs ~500)
When will AWS add a statement about being bound to professional secrecy (e.g s203 in Germany) so we use the LLM endpoints for sensitive industries https://repost.aws/es/questions/QUOuFPk9TLSUuClI_wYNmVCQ/ser...
I wish Azure would provide acces to gpt-5.x models in the EU datazone... Stuck in 4.x.
Also I don't see any of the big cloud providers (apart from Azure) saying they are bound to professional secrecy acts (e.g. the S203 in Germany)
How do people get more than 2tb of backup/cloud storage? it seems expensive to pay 20+ per month for this. 2tb+ should be very common these days?
also usbc in iphones! finally we can just carry one cable
+1 to "We audit financial markets. We should audit attention markets too"
My attempts always had validation issues that stopped the ads from running but I never figured it out and stopped trying
Looks very nice and I'm tempted. Can you disable Bluetooth while not in use?
looks cool, are you planning an Android version? what was the biggest challenge in making this?
Just found this from Azure which specifically talks about Section 203 from Germany: https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/data-secrecy-amendment-...
Microsoft is aware of legal obligations with regard to allowing access to Customer’s clients’ information and that non-compliance with such obligations can entail criminal sanctions for the parties involved (cf. in particular §§ 203, 204 StGB) (imprisonment or fines).
Microsoft shall be obliged to maintain confidentiality in accordanc...
Would be great to find something like this from AWS or GCP.
agreed it's not the same league, but it's still annoying for tiny companies that don't have much revenue
yeah that is true, but still really annoying for the tiny companies I talked to
the UK seems to be going in this same bad direction now "As part of our journey to modernise and digitise our filing routes, all accounts must be filed using commercial software from 1 April 2027." https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/changes-to-acc...
you used to be able to do this yourself on the gov website for free
same here
Very cool. What did you see to do the screen recordings?
but this one is in "The Last Kingdom"
Only iphone...
+1. I stopped using google authenticator when they randomly wiped the app for me and lost all the codes.
Very cool! Will explore it a bit :)
Does this apply to non-resident owners/founders (big shareholders that don't live in Germany) of German companies when they sell their shares?
Sms 2fa is also really annoying for travellers that don't use roaming
Is this okay for coding? Does it work with macs/linux?
I want a smart watch where bluetooth and everything can be fully turned off. Can I do that with this one?
I'm improving my webapp that helps you learn lanaguages through short stories: https://webbu.app/. I recently added the ability to play the sounds of words and sentences to improve listening and pronunciation. You can also practice different verb tenses, answer questions, track your vocab, etc.
+1 love sublime
How do you pirate songs these days?
