Surprised no one has mentioned Suwayomi yet for manga.

There’s a Mihon extension that treats Suwayomi as an additional “source” with progress syncing as well.

100k/year in San Francisco is definitely low income.

Official government figures using an exemplary family of four (two adults two children) already classified a household income of $117,400 as low income back in 2018. By 2025, that threshold has risen to $159,000.

Chinese, and to a lesser extent Asian Big Tech is what American Big Tech dreams and aspires to.

Everything is intimately linked to the super app platforms WeChat/Alipay (China) or LINE/Kakao Talk (Japan and Korea). Nearly everything online is designed primarily with WeChat/Alipay plugins/mini apps as the primary entry point and it is not uncommon both many services/pages to simply not exist outside of these super app ecosystems.

The apps are super invasive with privacy and require identity documents and banking details to even function. To some extent, it has resulted in convenience for the locals, though tbh this is mostly just replicating the convenience of western infrastructure like payment systems.

Where it gets messy is dealing with foreigners. China is particular has an incredibly messy system of regulations, mostly to curb money laundering and capital controls, that interact in very unforeseen ways.

Foreigners must link their identity documents and a payment method. Many vendors (either due to laziness or laws) cannot deal with foreigners at all. Additionally, due to capital controls, foreign payment methods cannot transfer or receive money. Many smaller vendors only accept payment via personal transfers, so you can easily end up being unable to pay, or split bills with locals. The inability to receive money also means you can’t receive refunds.

It gets way worse when interacting with HK/Macau, which operate their own, distinct parallel WeChat/Alipay systems. So, not only do you need to set up and maintain separate accounts for these, doing so may still be of limited use due to capital controls. A common trip around the Pearl Delta region covering Shenzhen, HK, and Macau unironically requires planning out a convoluted chart of which specific systems and accounts you need to use.

The more apt word is steganography, rather than watermark. Basically subtly adjust the weights of the model so that some subtle patterns appear. Think of how AI text prefers certain words and phrases that ordinary humans don’t use as often, like “delve,” but presumably much more subtle.

And no, as Anthropic has already said, this watermark may not survive editing/formatting.

You’re not meant to mix them beforehand.

You’re supposed to wash/soak using vinegar to let the acid work through stains. If that isn’t enough, you then optionally add baking soda so the fizzing and abrasiveness of the soda can additionally physically dislodge stains.

Tbh I find white vinegar kind of overrated. Citric acid is cheaper and physically easier to purchase due to coming in a powder form, and methylated spirits + a dropd of detergent are better if you’re working with glass.

Chinese being more token efficient is a myth, and seems to stem from the superficial fact that characters are only visually more space efficient.

The fact that each Chinese character takes up 3 bytes (as opposed to 1 byte of English), words in Chinese typically require compounds of several characters, and that tokenizers have a limited vocabulary limited to mostly English means that Chinese is actually token inefficient.

you’re just…dead.

Nemotron Ultra is a open source and already gives DeepSeek R1 performance (admittedly not that good anymore). NVIDIA has open sourced the entire training process, including raw datasets and synthetic data generation. The raw data is mostly curated web crawl data.

Already happening for years.

Amazon mechanical turk, Outlier.ai, scale ai, are all gig platforms that pay people to produce real human content for LLM training.

At first they were paying people to actually produce content, like worked solutions to maths problems or translations, then they pivoted more to rating LLM output.

And as with every enshittification cycle, wages and work rapidly dried up, so people responded by asking LLMs for the answer just to meet deadlines and get by.
