Looks like a reasonable cookie banner to me: Deny (all), Custom selection and Accept all.

It even works perfectly with Consent-O-Matic extension.

It's a perfectly not reasonable cookie banner. If you click on Details, you can see that they're not using marketing, statistics, or any other kind of cookies apart from the technically necessary. Which is great, but also means that they don't even need a banner. It could just go away.

Do you want a citation for an opinion?

if it's being offered as a well thought out opinion based on facts, yes absolutely, it's fine to ask for the sauce.

And a vehicle for selling FixBot - the AI repair expert.

Moral implications of LLM aside, this is an always-online, subscription-based toy that will eventually turn into a brick (unless the parent is an HN-er). I find it really sad that this kind of toy is sold in stores.

It’s only 1 API change away in order to become a brick. Would not be surprised if it’s unusable before Christmas this year.

My hope is that the toy gets people interested/exposure to the idea.

Then the curious will open up the device/try to DIY. Lots of voice ai providers and microcontroller media code is open source!

I don't get why they charge you a subscription if the GPT-enabled (presumably) LLM will just ask you follow up questions indefinitely?

And with Klarna payments!

This entire page makes me uneasy

Why?

This is up there with "Easy-Bake Oven" among plastic doodads that will be used for ~40 minutes and then added to a pile of plastic garbage many adults keep in their basement.

I don't oppose to the open backend of the device (it should be table-stakes for this kinda thing), but the concept seems really zero-sum and disposable. It relies on a form-factor that most kids don't use and depends on the novelty of AI which will wear off pretty fast. As much as I hate to say it, this should have been an app or a website.

Yeah, I wish it accepted hjkl.

Man, I suck at rhythm games. I've played about 50 times and the best I've gotten in 84%.

I haven't set up a custom ringtone in years since I don't receive that many calls nowadays, but I having been setting up the "Hey!" notification sound from the Google Nexus phone on all my newer, non-Google phones that followed it.

Honestly, on an iPhone, I wish I could completely mute/disable the Phone app, so when it calls it doesn't overtake whatever you are doing, or just delete it.

Page 12 of the example pdf ends with "On Linux, the PATH looks something like this:", but then there's no PATH example shown.

Yes, the linked sample pages are just randomly taken pages from the book PDF, as I put it together quickly for the Show HN. Apologies. I will make a better example when I rework the landing page.

Page 13 isn't in the example pdf. It's a bunch of scattered pages to give you a feel for the whole thing.

I haven't thought about trying to earn from OSS myself, but I'm curious to see how Jimmy Bogard - who recently announced this intention - is going to handle it.

I use the Continue extension in both IntelliJ and VSCode and it's great. Although, I'm just connecting it to my own providers and not using your hub. So I'm more of a free-loader of the extension than a Continue customer. Anyway, thank you!

I wouldn't say that's free-loader behavior :) It's exactly what we want to make possible—if you have strong reason to use your own models (price, convenience, security, remaining local, or other) then Continue is built for that

Yes exactly. And that's precisely why I use Continue. The day you start force your own products/models on us is the day I leave.
