Basic ebook support and ereader (epub, pdf, cbr, cbz) + send to device (i.e. Kindle)

Biggest issue is the folder/book structure is very opinionated and isn’t the easiest to work with.

I’ve tried the a number of the ones being mentioned, but the best for me has been Audio bookshelf . It has a good mobile app, allows collections, tries to pull Metadata, offline reading for the apps, etc.

Honestly, I don’t even think hardware has progressed enough to warrant a new generation. It doesn’t feel like much even uses the current consoles to the full extent.

Right now I have a console to play those games, but don’t know what I’ll do when the next “generation” comes out.

The Windows 12 rumors were due to bad reporting from PC World that it seems AI news articles ran with (I believe an Ai mistranslation was the original issue, but at the very least a translation issue). They added an editor’s note to the original [article] (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3068331/windows-12-rumors-features-pricing-everything-we-know-so-far.html)

But chrome, edge, and safari aren’t open source to my knowledge and they make up almost the entire market. Sure chromium is open source, but that’s not the entire browser. Not to mention, it’s basically Internet Explorer all over again, but with Google behind the reigns.

Looking at android, we get a glimpse of what Google is willing to do to “open source” to keep control.

Thanks for providing the actual numbers.

I think one of the more concerning things is, what if you think the answer is in the documents you provided but they actually aren’t. What you think is a low error rate could actually be a high error rate.

Just for context, this is the error rate when the right answer is provided to the LLM in a document. This means that even when the answer is being handed to the LLM they fail at the rates provided in the article/paper.

Most people interacting with LLMs aren’t asking questions against documents, or the answer can not be directly inferred from the documents (asking the LLM to think about the materials in the documents).

That means in most situations the error rate for the average user will be significantly higher.

Disabling/destroying a satellite has only been shown to be feasible by a handful of militaries in the world in very controlled situations.

Unless you mean you disable it via commands to the satellite, but that assumes there is a way to disable it and that you know who can disable it and can force them to do so.

Yeah, that was my point. Like all technology it has potential to liberate communications, but also enable bad actors. However, to me, it’s the biggest reason why this technology would matter at all.

I feel like on part no one ever mentions on things like this are, how do you enforce any jurisdiction on a satellite and what it’s doing.

The main crazy thing about a satellite data enter is you can’t confiscate it and therefore you can’t control it. Hell once it’s up there the only thing any government might be able to do is find the owner and force them to crash it (if possible).

It in a sense sounds a bit like the wild west of the original internet. Admittedly Musk being at the forefront of it all sounds terrible, but I think there is something fascinating about an information hub that could be completely independent of any country.

What a company says and what a company actually does are not the same thing.

This is about “teleporting” information not physical material (if my understanding is correct)

I tried Calibre web and Kogma.

Calibre is just bad software at this point, it’s clunky and not really designed as a server.

Kogma was fine, but a web only interface made it hit or miss. The big selling point for me with audio bookshelf was the ability to download local copies.

Oh yeah, the multiple libraries is a good point!

You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.

I haven’t tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

The only real downside I’ve run into is it’s very opinionated about folder structures around authors.

The one I’ve enjoyed the most is https://www.audiobookshelf.org/, it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).

Sounds like we are talking about different kinds of “access”. My original post was just lamenting that to the general web, discord is like a black hole. Things go there and never come out as you can only access the content through its app.

A lot of discord content is private, and those that aren’t require you to have discord to search. On top of that, I’m pretty sure you need to join a server before you can search it’s contents.

Since I don’t use discord, there is no real way for me to access content hosted on it. Compared to Reddit or a Forum, I don’t need to be a member of the community to access information shared there.
