Most people use hepburn these days, it's people who learned japanese 20 years ago or so who are still stuck with kunrei.

Hepburn is the official romanization chosen by the Japanese government (it's a relatively recent change), kunrei-shiki has been deprecated and all the signs etc are in the process of being converted to Hepburn.

Kunrei has been deprecated, Hepburn is the official one even the government of Japan recommends these days and matches better the pronunciation of the language.

By eating different foods. I frequently get filling bento boxes in japan that are ~500-600 calories. And drinking when is extremely counterintuitive when trying to maintain/lose weight.

You don't have to use R.

Depends on the location, the alert comes usually as soon as the initial tremors are registered. If you're at the epicenter, tough luck. For example, for me in Tokyo, the alert came 2 minutes before it hit, and even then, the actual earthquake was extremely subtle.

Having followed some tourists coming to Japan, a large amount of the people appreciate convenience, and the rail pass gives them that. The price is secondary.

Hell, there are even people paying the equivalent of 100 USD just to have someone pick them up from the Haneda airport and accompany them to the hotel. Not even a taxi service, just to be with them to buy them the train tickets, etc.

They actually started doing that very recently, converting old Shinkansen into a freight trains. Obviously you can't fit large cargo, but it's a good option for fast transport of parcels etc.

> Most if not all software I use is selected by its disk/memory footprint and performance.

If that would be true, electron apps would not exists and everything would be a native software. But alas, most modern products, even before vibe-coding are horrible performance-wise.

Of course it depends on the context, but consumer facing products have been awful in terms of performance for a while now.

Frontier model has much better knowledge and they usually hallucinate less. It's not about the coding capabilities, it's about how much you can trust the model.

"a harness for a memory" so it still requires external tools to work well. The whole point of this benchmark is to validate the systems can solve problems without any sort of outside help.

It's inconvenient as soon as you need to get something from the bottom of the fridge, kitchen layout does not change this one at all. And I grew up in a home with multiple chest fridges in addition to a shelved ones so I know the hurdles.

They are good to store something you're not accessing all the time though, like frozen berries etc.

That must be something you have changed, because if I have capslock enabled, it shows the capslock icon in the input field and the key is pressable to disable it for me.

Spark is a good replacement for Sparrow.

It's slightly different to access your bank account vs chatting with your friends.

Out of examples, only one was majorly off and these were from a channel with a very limited number of like / dislikes. In other examples the share of likes / dislikes was roughly not too much off.

The video you linked showed it being relatively accurate though.

A lot of countries do not have data caps in europe. For example i’m paying ~$25 a month for unlilimited 100mbps 4g connection and unlimited 1gbps 5g is available for around $40/month.
