I understand that running services costs money, and I've heard nothing but good things about Kagi. Can anyone here convince me it's worth the price?

They still need natural language processing to translate the LLM to something the device understands. LLMs just make the interface more human-ey.

For a long while I wondered what would happen when Apple (a company who prides itself on it's products "just working") inevitably collided with the generative AI hype train.

At first I thought they might stay away of the whole thing, but they didn't and it's been funny watching them struggle to integrate even the simplest aspects of generative AI into their products. Anyone who knows how LLMs work know that it is wholly different than the natural language processing that goes into Siri.

Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.

The argument that paywalls somehow ruin the open parts of the Web always fell flat for me. It is trivial to contribute to the Web for free if one wishes. Nobody is forced to paywall their content.

Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?

I've been impressed with F-Droid's press releases. If they have a snowball's chance in hell of stopping this, they are certainly giving it a clear and concise effort.

Siri is bad but at least it has natural language processing. I think it's so funny how CEOs have no idea how LLMs work.

Over a year ago Apple literally ran an ad showing off an "Apple Intelligence" feature that you could tell nobody at Apple ran by the actual engineers before deciding it was possible. It (of course) has still not been released.

I was going to report to the mod but... the mod is the one who posted it. Guess I'm unsubbing.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said "similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft" and I didn't read further.

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.

Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the ~~Kaleido~~ Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.
