Nice I'll check it out. I feel at this point editing a pdf should not be as hard as it is.

Does it need to be syncd with fitness trackers? I've built something similar and biggest complaint was data privacy. What are you doing to ensure data is protected? Anyway, seems like a fun concept good luck!

Hopefully smaller models soon that can be deployed locally for personal use, definitely don't want the speech data sent outside. But having the speech ability is going to improve usefulness of the already great gen AI models drastically!
Re:Facebook now charging to post more than 2 links a month on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @12:16PM (#50168649)
Well, there should be someway to fund all the ai efforts. On the other hand, I am hoping this reduces the extremely polarizing posts that seem to fill fb these days.
For people who are saying the infrastructure not be connected to the internet are missing the advantages. I think the real solution is being able to protect using the latest and greatest security protocols. I understand that it will be hard for manufacturers and small groceries to keep track of that, but I think its a good opportunity for a security layer that is maintained by 3p. I am sure there already are and this incident hopefully will be a wake up call.
Creating rigid boundaries is the key. You can create the architecture doc along which the code can be built and any deviations needs to be approved first.
Re:I Built a Drone with Only One Motor [video] on Monday October 19, 2026 @11:06PM (#50160883)
Very clever concept! Curious if you can now scale it to carry some payload. Reminds me of a story where drones deliver medicines / food to remote locations. And a drone with single motor is cost effective that can be used in low income provinces with no connectivity.

Sad results of the system the optimizes for ease and efficiency rather than health and quality. The same mind set carries over to bread, pesticides, and food coloring that has been banned in European countries.
I would love a world, where I while waiting at the traffic stop can breathe clean air. It’s sad to see that in the US the ev incentives are gone.
A reminder to be cautious as semantics can be used to cherry pick the data. Which already happens in many aspects of day to day life.
Lovely! the old ui feels more calming for some reason.
Congratulations on your publication! Have you also tried integrating apps like obsidian, that help in sw development?
