hmm, I don't know - I've been using Zen [1] primarily the last couple of hours and it seems to have come a long way since I last tried it.

Thanks for sharing carbonyl & brownsh, they seem quite cool. Just not sure they'd be the perfect fit for me as my primary browser.

I think the laggy animations, gradients, and rounded corners make it look and feel like it was vibe-coded!

After some of Mozilla's other recent decisions, this might be the push I needed to look for a new browser. Anyone got recommendations?

Not sure if this will help but I've set up Handy [1] with Parakeet V2 for STT and gpt-oss-120b on Cerebras [2] for post-processing and I'm happy with the performance of this setup!

Fair play to them for owning up to their mistake, and not just pretending like it didn't happen!

I built a wireless highlights & annotations export service for Kobo e-readers earlier this year [1]. Had a free tier limited to 20 exports but wasn't sure how to price it beyond that, so I just left it. Recently a user reached out asking if I'd settled on pricing and how they could pay for unlimited exports! That jolted me into coming up with a price, and now I'm finally getting Stripe integrated :)

Another word I didn’t realise was considered archaic and largely forgotten in the West, until I moved out of India is “thrice”!

I just tested the model with (exif-stripped) images from Cork City, London, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangalore, and Chennai. It guessed 3/5 locations exactly, and was only off by 3kms for Cork and 10kms for Chennai (very good considering I used a slightly blurry nighttime photo).

So, even outside of California, it seems like we're not entirely safe if the robot apocalypse happens!

edit: it didn't get the Cork location exactly.

I’ve been using vim-extensions on VSCode/ Zed/ SQL Editors for a few years now and always thought I had the best of both worlds with this setup. But after switching to Cursor it seems like simply hitting tab is a lot faster than performing a vim motion in most cases and so I don’t see why people would still need Vim in 10 years time.

This is very interesting! I enjoy playing Gran Turismo 7 and often find it very calming; especially when I'm in a flow state and can get through a tricky part of the track very quickly without any mistakes.

I wonder if this is a case where both theories apply - the rhythmic, controlled driving stimulates the 'soothing system' while the challenge of maintaining control at high speeds provides that 'risky play' element.

Highlights.Email [1] - a service to email yourself book highlights from your Kobo E-Reader!

Exporting book highlights from a Kobo was slow and inconvenient; you’d need to connect the device to your computer via USB and run a script, or upload the onboard sqlite database to a website to extract book highlights. With Highlights.Email, you tap a button on-device and in a few seconds have a nicely formatted email with all your book highlights!

So, I’m just scratching my own itch mainly while learning how to build and launch something to the world. There’s two parts to this service: Rust program that runs on-device and a SveltKit app (w/ a Supabase backend) for auth and sending emails.
