The company doing the software distribution, is located in Berlin. The Managing Directors for that company seem to have Turkish names, but I don't know if they're Turkish.

BTW, Looking for some info I just found a website [0], clearly AI generated (but not necessarily meaning the content is false) claiming Eugene Roshal had severe kidney failure this past month, and he's waiting for surgery. They're asking for donations. There are some names on who's theoretically behind it [1] but they don't link to any LinkedIn profile or personal site. I can't find any other references. The BTC wallet they're using for donations hasn't seen any traffic ever. BE WARY, SMELLS FISHY.

It's trying to "emulate" Jev behavior using a regular small LLM model (Qwen3 0.6B or MiniCPM5 2B). And with the smallest model it takes like between half to two seconds to run in my M2 Max, so it's not super fast.

I mean, it's faster than asking to a regular LLM, but I think that's not proper to have Jev on the name (also legally...)

Edit: no shade, and I'll give it a try for some ideas. I'd also like to have an open weights Jev but I think the naming is misguiding. I also have to try Jev that, BTW, got access pretty quickly, less than a day I think...

The first example, Takeo City library, wasn't opened by Tsutaya in 2013. That's a public (government) library that already existed from 2000, remodeled, and when reopening in 2013 they partnered with Tsutaya so they could have a small books/stationery shop in the library. There's a Starbucks too... I think Tsutaya might be managing part of the library, but it's not like they opened a library.

Seems like it's a program that Tsutaya is doing around the country, some sort of public/private arrangements where they do management and they add a small shop. I have mixed feelings about it, and I hope the libraries don't depend on Tsutaya's funding. For me libraries should be a totally public endeavor, and their decisions on policies or titles shouldn't be on risk because of funding pressure.

The interesting part would be a text that's not the same than everyone else right now. Stop with the AI texts. It's unreadable. It's not engaging at all.

First of all, you still have the images problem (among others). Loading your home site takes around 60MB of downloads, including the autoloading 40MB MP4 file. Reduce resolution and compress. You don't need a phone to reproduce that, you just need to open your web browser development tools and reload the site to see how heavy is it. Also, the memory use calculation is off, but that's not important because probably an LLM did it.

Second, your API in karibukit.com is down

Don't rely that much in the LLM. Check things with your own eyes.

The horror.

I'd rather read a "badly written" and to the point story, than a clone of the last 20 postmortem-ish/incredible discovery stories I've seen this week.

About researchers, lots of them are probably using personal plans that aren't even reimbursed by their institutions. I could ask Cordova's research institution (I MAY) but I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.

Bath rooms in smaller apartments, and also in hotels, tend to be, literally, whole-room plastic/resin structures, so it dries easier and if mold appears it's in the plastic surface and easy to get rid of it.

I have a friend with a very big fancy apartment, and his huge bath room is covered mostly in tile and has very good ventilation. The bath even has a waterproof TV so you can watch a movie meanwhile!

I understand that as the general act of getting up, starting the sauna, going for your clothes change, resting a couple times, going to the kitchen for water, shower, switch off, kitchen again, whatever... you've filled an hour of your time.
