Same experience. Faster, but also much more filler.

Fucking awesome ;)

Wow, I hadn't heard of this. Fascinating to think about parallels with humans who also seem to develop similar proto-stories in independent populations.(e.g. religions involving Invisible gods).

Oh, wow, I wasn't aware. Weird choice...

Too bad it's not open, unlike the previous version.

However, I found Qwen ASR and QwenTTS to be quite good, and not too large. Also https://github.com/kyutai-labs/pocket-tts was also great (but only a few languages)

Mr moneybags over here... True, but for mere mortals that was a pretty high bar. Speaking from experience from fighting a 486DX2-80
I've wondered about this: if you can hold an image clearly in your mind - e.g. the Eifel tower - wouldn't you be able to reproduce it well on paper? I know that's not artistic ability in the creative sense, but still..
Thanks for the straight answer, sadly I use neither of those providers. As a suggestion: maybe you could add an option to just disable e-mail integration, for users like me? Right now I'll be getting, "finalize your app setup" vibes... forever.

Again, great app - all the best for the future!

This has been my exact experience in Germany though.

Look really great! I'm a bit sad that the only way to connect to email is gmail. Is a generic IMAP connector on your roadmap?
Re:Job application asked for my SAT scores on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @02:43AM (#48641219)
Regardless of the content, a test filters for people willing to put in the work to pass. All else being equal, given two candidates, where one has passed a test and another one who didn't bother, the first one sends a stronger signal to the potential employer.

It's still worth discussing if the particular test is ideal, but the answer IMO is not to say let's remove tests in general.

I read this as "the agent should have asked for confirmation before running".
They do (it's just text), if they are there...
Re:Android Developer Verification on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @08:36AM (#47586444)
Likely true, but also many technically oriented people (myself included) would turn away from Android if f-droid stopped working. And I would actively start recommending friends and family against it. What is the benefit of Android at this point? an extended Ads platform, controlled by Google.
On a much simpler level, llm frameworks could re-summarize their context to keep relevant, use-case-specific facts, cleanup and also organize long and short term memory on some local storage, etc. So kind of like sleep. I think these examples are low hanging fruit to improve the perceived intelligence of LLM systems (so probably they're already used somewhere).
No true regarding the IDs, only PhD titles can be added. Not job descriptions. Source: academia person in Germany.

Sadly, another attempt will likely be made at some point. At least the regulation is quite explicit:

> This Regulation shall not prohibit, make impossible, weaken, circumvent or otherwise undermine cybersecurity measures, in particular encryption, including end-to-end encryption, implemented by the relevant information society services or by the users. This Regulation shall not create any obligation that would require a provider of hosting services or a provider of interpersonal communications services to decrypt data or create access to end-to-end encrypted data, or that would prevent providers from offering end-to-end encrypted services.

> The same thing happened when Internet arrived. "Don't believe anything you read on the Internet."

Isn't the saying "Don't believe *everything* you read on the Internet."? Which is quite different (and still holds today).

I was all for post-quantum crypto until I heard the news about SIKE being broken with a simple computer.

How will you make sure this does not happen to the algorithms you chose?

Question is whether they will stop tracking you, even if you pay.
From my understanding, there is a strong assumption backed by observations that matter and physics work the same way everywhere in our universe.

This doesn't seem to be a very hard problem to me. In the sense that you don't need to invent any new tech to store personal info. I also don't see a reason why these models will not run locally on our devices in the future.
It may very well be true that 3rd parties can easily connect my identities. However I still see no reason to share my private identity with Bob from accounting.
Sorry I don't have a answer for your question. But wow, I was not aware of that quote. The audacity of Zuckerberg lecturing people on lack of integrity is amazing. Shaming customers to further tighten his companys lock-in strategy seems... fittingly dystopian.
