I am working on a self-hosted library server for jailbroken kindle and opted for using pure Rust for the KUAL app to sync books and annotations with the server.
It's just running `cargo build --release --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf` with a .cargo/config.toml:
Exactly. Qwen only has one pitch accent for pure hiragana words, even though it actually work (removing mandarin mixed-in), which requires some great efforts to normalize text in order to disambiguate heteronyms, the result is (if you use voice cloning) your favorite CV speaking in some weird, unknown accent :)
I'd love to see a monolingual Japanese model sometime in the future. Qwen3-tts works for Japanese in general, but from time to time it will mix with some Mandarin in between, making it unusable.
I resonate with the top comment on Tildes that suggests we need a singular conglomerate to cover all media types. We actually had one from China, douban.com, but the situation of censorship there makes it unusable. There are also a few new alternatives, such as nicedb.org and its fork, neodb.social, but I find them somehow lacking.
No, personal web in China almost doesn’t exist anymore because you need a ICP filing [0] to legally operate a website (even for a blog). It’s simply too much trouble for most people.
I live in a small college town in Germany. My workplace is a 15- to 20-minute uphill walk away, my family doctor is in the building next to where I live, and all my friends are within a 40-minute walking distance. The situation was almost the same when I lived in China, in a smaller town two hours' drive from Guangzhou. I've walked my whole life and don't even know how to drive. I've almost taken for granted that one should be able to walk to any place that is important to them; perhaps it's not that universal elsewhere?
I made my web app into a PWA and even went so far as to polish the home screen icon and splash screen to make it look nice once installed. However, in the end, I use the browser much more frequently, simply because I can access the URL of the page and share it elsewhere.
It's just running `cargo build --release --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf` with a .cargo/config.toml:
``` [target.armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf] linker = "rust-lld" rustflags = ["-C", "link-self-contained=yes"]. ```
the downside is I can't use any c-deps. :)
