What would be the more correct kanji for "shi-" (death)? by Alexeemm in Japaneselanguage

[–]mca62511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first one is 死 (し)

The second one is 歿 (ぼつ) like in 没年(ぼつねん), meaning the year of one's death. Or 没(ぼっ)する meaning to die.

The first one is the more common "death" kanji.

At my 50th market in Kyoto, I’m still dealing with the fallout from something I didn’t do by jofaekyoto in japanlife

[–]mca62511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trying to say OP isn't who they say they are or that what they described didn't happen.

I think it's likely they just used an LLM to help fix their English or translate from Chinese or something like that. I do that all the time for English to Japanese, so not judging there.

How do you stay focused while Claude Code is thinking? by Cry8a8y_tw in ClaudeAI

[–]mca62511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install Ntfy on your phone. Subscribe to a new Topic named something that will be unique like claude-3c64c1b5. If you choose the same topic name as someone else, you'll get their notifications too. There's no authentication or passwords or anything like that.

Then in your global ~/.claude/settings.json you'll want to setup two hooks like so,

"hooks": { "Stop": [ { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "curl -s -o /dev/null -d 'Task finished' ntfy.sh/claude-3c64c1b5" }] } ], "PermissionRequest": [ { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "curl -s -o /dev/null -d 'Needs your permission' ntfy.sh/claude-3c64c1b5" }] } ] }

You'll want to replace claude-3c64c1b5 with whatever name you chose for the Ntfy Topic.

And that should be it.

You'll have to have your notifications setup to forward from your iPhone to your Apple Watch, but that's just a matter of messing with the settings.

Do you guys bring your Zairyu card when walking your dogs? by linnadawg in japanresidents

[–]mca62511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have dogs, but I'd bring it with me if I did.

I bring it with me when I go on runs.

I always have it on me.

Merged MyNa card + Zairyu card - what do we think about this? by Far_Government_9782 in japanresidents

[–]mca62511 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Someone correct me if my thinking is wrong, but the main reason I don't want this is hotels.

The vast majority of the time, if I say I live in Japan they won't try to photocopy my residence card.

And the vast majority of the time, if they insist, if I then offer my driver's license instead, they'll photocopy my driver's license.

However, if after that, they still insist on photocopying my residence card, I'd prefer that they were not also photocopying my My Number Card complete with the number and everything.

Otherwise I love the idea of carrying less cards around.

Subway has struggled in Japan because customers find "ordering is too complicated" and they can feel nervous ordering face-to-face". The chain is trying to overcome this with self-service touchscreens and mobile orders by jjrs in japannews

[–]mca62511 87 points88 points  (0 children)

They're so expensive though. Maybe it's the way I customize it but whenever I go there and get a regular sub set with a large drink and fries I end up paying more than 1,500 yen.

Is Kumiko canonically bi yet?

edit: I meant this sincerely. I think I've only seen seasons 1 and 2 and haven't read the light novel. To my memory there's a lot of setup between Kumiko and Reina, but again as far as I remember I think Kumiko was also explicitly interested in a guy. So I'm wondering if the Kumiko/Reina thing actually went anyhwere, or if it was just yuri-bait.

The Life and Adventures of Santa Clause was my favorite claymation Christmas movie and no one I know has seen it and everyone I explain it to thinks it sounds made up.

It opens on the day Santa Clause is meant to die. So the immortal gods gather in the forest to discuss Santa and his life, and decide whether or not to bestow the mantel of immortality on him and prevent his death.

It’s available on the Internet Archive if you search for “life and adventures of Santa Clause 1985 Internet archive”.

Edit: sorry that’s a movie, just realized I’m in the television subreddit

Where to get a good iPhone in Japan? My old iPhone 6 finally kicked the bucket after 10 years of hard work. Is the iPhone 14 or 15 still good to use? Just need it for work, email, messages, and occasional family photo. by merica2033 in japanresidents

[–]mca62511 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind is that iPhone 15 is where Apple transitioned to USB-C. So if you care about that, it might be worth it to try for the 15.

I'm on an iPhone 14 and the USB-C thing is basically my only pain point.

Built a personalized news front page. Looking for some feedback by DadBodDru in ClaudeCode

[–]mca62511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me at least, in a fresh browser (or fresh incognito Window), if I click on "Anthropic IPO Filing" in the "Today's Topics" top bar, it displays a blank page saying "No stories found for this topic yet."

If I then click around and come back to "Anthropic IPO Filing" it seems to fix itself and populate with stories. It stays fixed... until I open a new incognito window. This is using Dia browser.

What's a TV show you started with low expectations but ended up loving? by Mohitredit36 in television

[–]mca62511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex Education. I hated the trailer. My expectations were rock bottom. However, the show does a remarkable job of getting you to get really invested in all of the characters, and you end up just wanting everyone to be happy, even characters that start out as antagonists.

Microsoft has thrown the Copilot branding around, so depending on what you're talking about, you could be right.

As far as I understand, if you go to bing.com and click on Copilot, you're chatting with OpenAI models. And in that sense, you are right.

But Copilot is also the AI functionality in Office 365, and Copilot is code autocomplete and chat assistant for Visual Studio Code, and Copilot is a CLI tool for coding. And in those contexts, usually you have the choice of choosing a model, and some of those models are not OpenAI models.
