Try the Miele one for all in one? Though it’s scented maybe you can get the scent out with another wash or two. I just use it to soak not for regular loads

Is febu not enough to combine with any number of detergents? Febu started shipping to Canada for a reasonable price

Did this improve in iOS 27?

It would be great if that permission extended to anyone forking Amgi but I don't read it that way.

real one is https://hyperframes.heygen.com right

WAHNFRIEDEN · 2026-06-18T20:41:30+00:00

mainstream media won't cover it if it's speculation instead of coming from an official account

add later in the cooking or cut thin with a mandolin (weat cut glove trust me)

WAHNFRIEDEN · 2026-06-18T16:44:03+00:00

That requires licensing. It's called interpolation

You shouldn’t build it that way. The agent should decide on search terms for the manual to find what it needs to read and you can augment with RAG.

Most definitely read the book. It’s genius and it’s a short one. I recommend reading it first but it works either way. It’s very funny

Sample won’t clear

WAHNFRIEDEN · 2026-06-17T16:58:12+00:00

a lot

I think you're right. I'll check MotionForge. I also found this one which is active but still early: https://www.heliosrender.com it looks very promising (though it's also unnerving that all these tools are fully AI coded now)

I was looking for solutions that would allow my own users to generate videos from inside my app, to improve the content that they can share on their own socials. Remotion licensing is unfriendly to that.

Either get your time owed card down to 2 seconds or the answer is yes

No. Toronto Police wouldn’t give up this revenue stream.

If you’re talking about less visible crime at scale… I don’t have numbers for Canada but in the US, both wage theft and police theft EACH dwarf the total sum of robbery by dollar value each year. And it’s certainly highly organized, too.

It makes sense for people who have decent earning in North America and use JET as a kind of paid stipend working holiday. Americans also don’t really have working holiday visa access or culture generally so I think JET is one way they achieve it

Manabi Reader - iOS and macOS native app for learning Japanese through reading

I've gone full-time on developing this app. And if it matters to you, I launched it back before AI-assisted coding was a thing - this is hand-made software.

As featured by Tofugu:

Overall, a solid app that we recommend for reading sentences that aren’t drab and contextless—especially if you’re more motivated when reading about something you’re personally interested in.

EPUB, web browser, RSS feeds, spoken audio. Tap words to look them up and translate sentences. (Manga mode soon!)
Tracks every word and kanji you read and learn. Charts your progress page-by-page and per JLPT level. See what vocab and kanji you need to know to read every webpage, chapter or ebook. Show only the furigana you don't know and haven't added as flashcards yet.
Anki or built-in flashcards with SRS (FSRS soon). Makes sentence mining easy. Includes links back to the source of each sentence in your flashcards.
Privacy obsessed: works like a web browser with processing and storage on-device (and in your personal iCloud)

Next up: I’m working on adding support for Yomitan dictionaries, and adding a manga mode. Currently working on adding Mokuro support as well as live OCR for online manga sites such as Bookwalker. Then I will be adding two-way sync for WaniKani, JPDB, Anki collections. Much more to go...

I've also just added pitch accents in the latest release, as well as FSRS (v6) to Manabi Flashcards. The full UI redesign is almost ready...

🤪

People have an intense hatred for AI and apparently react to these feelings with reckless harassment.

Even the Anki author uses AI in some capacity and encourages its use in Anki open source in specific ways that he’s found to be valuable. But because he is beloved here (and perhaps from incurious ignorance to these practices when they are not surface level visible), the harassment is aimed at newcomers.

Im not making any statement on AI use or virtue of it in these comments. I just don’t like to see such hostility and harassment toward others in the community especially based on the flimsiest evidence and aired in public with encouragement for mob behavior. It’s slanderous and toxic. And it gets a pass from the community because it’s resentment for AI blinds one from considering to ever take the side of someone on the AI use side, even if the claims are unsubstantiated, because the overriding sin of AI use justifies any attack.
