It's a shame that I have to run a local model to decipher Opus, but them "dumber" models read far more naturally - https://github.com/gvzdv/claudish-to-english

Ooh. I've been manually pasting Claude's /* comments */ into ChatGPT and saying "make this concise". They still need to be tweaked from there, but it's a much better starting point. This will help.

This will be very useful for me, but I wish it could be built natively into the agent harness.

We're using LCP from EDRLab which is an open standard. Other vendors are starting to adopt it and I think Kobo intend to this year too. Basically the LCPL files you download can be opened on any compatible LCP reader.

I keep hoping interoperability becomes something the European Commission decides to tackle. I can't see the US ever doing anything about this.

We sell ebooks in every country, including Tunisia - https://www.ebooks.com/en-tn/. I understand that the price of books is sometimes prohibitive, but it's largely outside our control.

The issue is not the amount; it's the currency. Ours is not convertible.

To put it into perspective: even *free* services can be completely inaccessible here if they require payment info for verification purposes.

Acquiring hard currency to spend online is truly a bureaucratic nightmare, and even if you manage it, the annual limit is strictly capped (at around $300).

Thanks for the reply. If the books were sold in Tunisian dinar (via Stripe), would you still have the same issues?

And people say that Monero is worse than fiat!

We also do the same at ebooks.com, there's a DRM free section too - https://www.ebooks.com/drm-free

I agree, it's one of my best value subscriptions. It's especially good if you host a lot of domains, you can link 100 custom domains to a single Fastmail account.

I use a Boox and really like it, but it's definitely not the same price point as a kindle. It has a stylus but I basically use it exclusively for reading.

My Dad wrote an article about this 25 years ago or so: https://aoi.com.au/LB/LB705/ (How the Neanderthals became the Basques). He would really get a kick out of people reading it (he's 90 now). His website goes back to 96' and it shows.

Greetings to your father from a European with O- blood, fair freckled skin, and a receded chin! I've always been fascinated with Neanderthals. Happy to see science slowly realising these were not some stupid brutes...

That is a gem of the old internet; concise, informative, well articulated, it's got it all. Tell your pa thanks for keeping it up for me!

It was a fun read!

Although one of the references goes to a now dead "reptilian agenda" website which might have been even more interesting:)

>His website goes back to 96' and it shows.

The thing loaded instantly. What a breath of fresh air in 2026. Hats off to Dad.

Sorry for your father but nothing in the article makes sense

Ah, reminds me of good old CGI websites.

I thought the same when loaded it on mobile. When I went to the desktop version, it is kind of glitchy and the images overlap the text: https://i.postimg.cc/bJgjcDD1/desktop.png

I'm building a platform for people in my rare fruit meetup group exchange scions. I've never built a react native app, but with the help of Claude it seems possible to build for the web and iOS/Android apps with minimal experience. Hoping to make it really useful for our group before sharing it with others.

We have one near my place that I'm a member of, it's run by volunteers. They have stuff outside of tools too (camping/cooking gear). You can view the stuff their inventory before you join: https://toolsnthingslibraryperthwa.myturn.com/library/

The main downside for me is returning the items in the window they're open.
