Hmmm… if an ‘organism’ has no organs, is it still an organism? 🤔

I’ve heard Calibre Web has a better UI and experience. Can anyone weigh in on whether that is true? I’m mostly looking for a better way to manage my book library on KOReader (Kindle) than just putting things into 3 directories (reading, to read, read) and using syncthing to copy them to the equivalent folders on my device.

This is very cool. Will dig into it a bit more later but do you have any data on how much it reduces hallucinations or mistakes? I’m sure that’s not easy to come by but figured I would ask. And would this prevent you from still using the built-in web search in OWUI to augment the context if desired?

I would check out Open WebUI which can be self-hosted via docker etc and configured with any OpenAI compatible endpoint so you can use a service like OpenRouter to run nearly any LLM remotely. Most of the open weights ones like Qwen 3 or Kimi K2 Thinking are great and cost pennies per inquiry and can be configured with Zero Data Retention (ZDR) so your data is not recorded. You could also use something like Ollama to run local LLMs if you want even more privacy and have the hardware (typically a modern Nvidia GPU with at least 16-24 GB of VRAM).

This article in the Guardian is definitely worth a read if you’re not intimately familiar with just how it got this way… It’s 8 years old so it won’t cover recent history but does give you an idea of how it started.

And yes Robert Maxwell (father of Ghislaine) is mostly to blame.

This would be a great potential improvement in UX for streaming sports feeds for sure - not having to navigate web pages and start / manage streams manually etc. Does anyone know if this is possible for sites serving these streams like FirstRowSports or StreamEast etc?

Hopefully these improvements will become available to other Nvidia GPU architectures like Ada and Ampere in the future as well.

Yeah I use voyager pretty much exclusively on my iPhone so maybe I should request a feature like that there? Seems like it would be something that many people would appreciate. Not sure why I end up seeing posts with -10, -15 votes… Those are generally trash haha

Is this what the Leonard Cohen song is about?

Wow… didn’t see that coming… /s

Thanks for all the ongoing development work. If you all haven’t you should definitely consider an ongoing donation to support the project. I joined Lemmy a few years ago but ever since Reddit imploded and went full greed-mode in preparation for the IPO it has been my primary social link aggregator. Been on a monthly ongoing donation since then.
