This appears to be one guy's blog who writes about the royal family, with no connection to the family itself.

He also outputs a suspiciously large amount of articles/day. Probably using AI.

Nothing stopping you from making a post when you see a service on sale!

It seems to be implying that SoCs will soon become so fast and efficient that they will always outperform custom builds in every category including price.

There's an argument to be made there (not saying I agree).

Yep he's one of those culture warrior types. Honestly surprised he got Andy Weir on as I was under the impression he was relatively small potatoes in that space.

"Dragon's Egg" is a great little book written by a physicist/aerospace engineer and it shows.

The way I see it, we have enough going on elsewhere in this timeline where I'm willing to settle on this compromise 😅

EDIT: Did not realize WHAT podcast he was on...

Seems he was exaggerating for a joke and basically saying that he was too dumb to grasp the political metaphors in Trek.

Crisis averted!

Booklore was discovered to be vibe-coded and riddled with security issues. The dev shut down the project when discovered. Best avoided for now.

KOReader is not "fake epaper", it's an app designed to be used on ereaders which means it's UI is high contrast. FWIW I agree it's not ideal for an OLED phone screen, but it's definitely not fake epaper (more like the opposite) and makes me think you might be accidentally using something else?

(Also KOReader is not for "certain" devices, it's FOSS and installs on basically any ereader, including Kindle, Kobo and anything running android like Boox).

What CWA does is it integrates a KOreader sync server (can also be ran independently). In future updates CWA's web reader will sync with this progress, but for now it only shows up in the UI like this:

THAT ALL SAID, if you are only using the WebUI and don't want to wait for CWA to update their web reader, Komga is a simple app (originally designed for Manga but will work fine with books) that has a web reader that will also remember your progress (and fwiw there is a KOReader plugin in case you want to sync that progress with an epaper device in the future).

 

It sounded like a stretch to me at first, but if you consider that the very concept of intelligence as something quantifiable and measurable (like IQ) implies a linear scale where some (guess which ones) people are simply better.

The funding behind AI comes out of a belief that it can be a tool to control and influence the population. It makes sense that it's origins would be in something similar.
