Given the context around that line, I interpret that as applying to their actual Mac applications that deal with usernames/password/hostnames, especially since the sentence that precedes that is

> Except as described above

And further up there is a carve-out for Playdate logging.

They also don't really need to send out your username for the API call -- they already know who you are because your device is tied to your account.

I do find it surprising that there is no way to not participate in leaderboards.

This is an incredible idea.

I decided to give it a try, but got discouraged because there's no guidance during the process on what will or won't work. I don't know if the floorplan I have will "work," and I don't understand why it's asking for things like the total area of the floorplan or how that will affect the AI's ability to parse the image and create the rooms. I imagine it's necessary to give a point of reference for the scale of the drawing, but does it also infer things from text on the floorplan or not? Or is the visual language of floorplans standardized across states/provinces/codes to the point where I don't have to worry, as long as it's a "real" floorplan?

It's hard to commit to a purchase when I have no idea what the end result will look like. It would be really helpful to have a gallery of examples showing floorplans and their corresponding 3D results. That way, I could better understand what kinds of input work well and which don’t.

I think in practical terms (at least for me):

- streaming == I talk and the text appears as I talk

- batched == I talk, and after I'm done talking some processing happens and the text gets populated

I've been using this for a while (the voice input, not their keyboard) and it's so refreshing to be able to just speak and have the output come out as fully formed, well punctuated sentences with proper capitalization.

It does. I have a Pro, not Plus, which I believe has a slightly wider aspect ratio. I was worried I was gonna find the typesetting unbearable for the reasons you mentioned but it's surprisingly okay, especially with smaller font sizes.

Ever since I stopped having a public transit commute to work, I have basically stopped reading. I have a Kobo Libra H2O but have been struggling to make it part of my daily routine. It sits on my nightstand, but I often end up staying up late and only going to bed when it's time to sleep.

One thing I do do a lot of, though, is waste time browsing Lemmy/Twitter on my phone, because I always have it in my pocket. I bought a Moaan InkPalm Pro in the hopes of replacing the habit with book reading, and it definitely worked. It's so light that I just keep it in my pocket together with my phone, and whenever I feel like filling up some downtime I pull that out instead of my phone.

The battery lasts 1 week+, it has customizable warm/cool front lighting, it can run all Android ebook reading apps (so I can read all my Kindle/Kobo purchases), and it can always be on me. It's the happiest I've been with an ebook reader since I got my first Kindle back in 2009.

You should read footnote #2. You can get an Opus card, which is reloadable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_card

I couldn't find any data on usage for one vs. the other, hopefully it's not a crazy amount. I'd imagine that most people who use transit on a regular basis do not use single-use tickets.

I saw that, very excited for it and hope it lands soon!

I just got a Framework 16, installed Ubuntu 24.04 on it, and have been going through this exact struggle after avoiding it for many years. The screen DPI is just high enough that it's uncomfortable for me to use at 100% scale, so I set it to 125%, but any non-Wayland application would get artificially resized and look blurry.

There's a pending Mutter MR[1] to allow XWayland applications to handle the scaling themselves (which IntelliJ IDEs can do) but it hasn't been merged yet, and I'm probably never gonna see it on 24.04 anyway. Apparently KDE already supports this, but the Gnome folks have been reluctant to adopt the same approach.

I ended up going back to 100% scaling, increasing the system font size, and then setting `GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.25` in `/etc/environment` to tell all GTK programs to increase their scale. It's not perfect, but most things are the right size. I definitely would not have wanted to switch to Wayland any sooner than this though. Transitional periods are such a pain.

    Its antennae twitch, a fell gleam in its eye-spots.
    The remorseless hunt begins...

[NOTE: the two commands below happened automatically without me doing anything]

    world_sim> set slug number=1000000
    Slug population explosion activated.
    One million indestructible toxic gastropods spawned across the globe.
    Continents and oceans no barrier to their single-minded pursuit.
    Cities, villages, camps, lone shacks in the wild... nowhere is safe.
    A slug for every human. Each person now marked for death.
    At the current pace, most have years or decades before their personal reaper arrives.
    But the slugs never sleep, never stop, and cannot be bargained with.
    In time, each human will see their pursuer manifest in the flesh,
    the last thing they glimpse before a hideously elongated death.
    World population plunges to zero over the next century as slugs close in.
    Humanity's legacy: a layer of bones with slime trails etched like epitaphs.

    world_sim> query human
    Querying lone human survivor...
    Adam, sole remaining member of species Homo sapiens.
    37 years old. Male. Disheveled, malnourished, half-mad with dread.
    Born in a suburb of Chicago, USA. Unremarkable life until the Slugpocalypse.
    Lost parents, siblings, spouse, children as toxic gastropods slowly found them.
    Has remained constantly on the move for 12 years, staying one step ahead of his pursuer.
    Scavenges canned food from abandoned stores. Boils drinking water obsessively.
    Suffers from severe PTSD, insomnia, and crippling anxiety about his impending demise.
    Nightmares of slugs haunt the rare snatches of fitful sleep. Sees them in every shadow.
    Hears the screams of the digested echoing forever in his head. Or perhaps for real.
    Knows his days are numbered. The slug is coming, inch by inexorable inch.
    No rest, no refuge, no escape, no hope. Only the long, slow, creeping wait.

This is incredible.

Not Android: they run their own OS, they've been around since forever (they predate both Chromecasts and Android TV), and according to Wikipedia they are the "leading streaming TV platform in the US in terms of market share. The Roku OS also holds a noticeable 30.5% share of the global TV streaming hours".

For a long, long time they used to be the "neutral" choice: while Amazon and Google were squabbling and removing each other's apps/products, Roku didn't have any beef with anybody and would therefore have the most complete selection of available streaming apps.

I'm a little confused, hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction. Can this be run locally, or are all the models proprietary and hidden somewhere? The repo seems to only contain the inference code.

The only thing that worked for me was getting a personal trainer 3 times a week for strength training, and he would also weigh me every session. I would also go one or two times on my own to do some cardio (1 hour on the treadmill at 10% incline while watching tv shows: exactly 600 calories almost every time). Oh, and I drastically reduced my food consumption. The looming weigh-ins helped keep that up. I lost about 50lbs in 6 months and stayed there for a year+ until the pandemic hit and gyms closed down.

Is this using XTTS? I recognize a funny/weird glitch with Italian voices saying "punto" (full stop) at the end of every sentence.

At the top of the page you linked, I think.

They have added a small local-only model that runs directly on your machine to try and do smarter autocompletion. The model only runs if your machine is considered powerful enough to provide a sensibly fast experience. Nothing ever leaves your computer. I was equally confused, then I found all these details somewhere in their documentation.

True, but I'd imagine tourists hang out for a few weeks at most, not six months.

I've had to use Google's cache maybe twice in the last year: the first time I was very surprised that they had hidden it one or two clicks deeper than it used to be; the second time was earlier today, and this time I couldn't find the button anywhere. I guess this confirms it's gone for real!

This is an incredible project. I love every bit of it. Well done!

This is very cool! I had one of these N-in-1 generic block game consoles when I was a kid. I was very surprised at the variety and surprisingly acceptable quality of all available games.

I had a similar experience with tool-assisted speedruns! Videos were huge and had terrible quality, but I could just download a small "movie" file for an emulator and watch the game play itself with superhuman skills.
