- Wow thanks! I just ran into my claude code session limit like an hour ago and tried the method you linked and added 10 CNY to a deepseek api account and an hour later i've got 7.77 CNY left and have used 3.3 million tokens.
I'm not confident enough to say it's as good as claude opus or even sonnet, but it seems not bad!
I did run into an api error when my context exceeded deepseek's 128k window and had to manually compact the context.
- I was skeptical at first but like it a lot after trying out the betas. It's all very intuitive if you've used visionOS before and the potential readability problems aren't really an issue in practice.

All Hong Kong residents are eligible (anyone with an HKID and permission to remain >= 180 days).
- This was a homework assignment in my second grade class!
The next day we had to follow our instructions exactly in class to make the sandwich which was hilarious. A formative experience for me!
- Yes, it’s still open.
10am to 9:30pm every day.
- I tried Deepseek R1 via Kagi assistant and it was much better than claude or gpt.
I asked for suggestions for rust libraries for a certain task and the suggestions from Deepseek were better.

- under 16 year olds cannot vote, are not represented and have no recourse.
when one group votes to make rules for another group that cannot vote, it can be called many things, but "democracy" is not one of them.
- This was in line with my experience in El Salvador in June of this year as well…if you don’t specifically seek out a business because you already know it accepts bitcoin, it’s not going to take Bitcoin.
Of the businesses in El Salvador marked on a map as supposedly accepting bitcoin (in bitcoin hotpots like Bitcoin beach), ~1/3 wouldn’t actually accept it for some reason or another.
That said, Bitcoin acceptance in El Salvador was still much better than I expected (perhaps my expectations were too low).
With a bit of planning, patience and persistence it is possible to have an entire trip in El Salvador using only Bitcoin
- I grew up in Cleveland and saw these around occasionally...never knew anything about the backstory though...pretty interesting!
I had heard stories about Euclid Beach Park sort of like one hears stories of Coney Island. Never really understood why these parks disappeared.

- You can already record in 3D both from the headset, from iPhone 15 Pro and higher and with Canon’s new upcoming lense:

It’s uncanny to record something with the Vision Pro and then play it back while you’re sitting in the same location…feels like a glitch in the matrix.

- Thanks! I’ve added it to my list to give it a try!
- Just did research into this question...I'm someone that played piano as a child and wanted to get back into it. I wanted to get something that would integrate with apps, good action and sound without making a massive investment in case I don't stick with it. I also wanted something that was small and easy to move.
My digital piano just arrived a few hours ago.
I decided on the Roland FP-30X after trying several models in store.
Pro-tip: many of the big name digital pianos are half the price in the mainland China market than in the rest of the world. Often for an upgraded model as well.
FP-30X was 3850 CNY (~US$550) including the Roland KPD-70 three pedal unit and KSC-70 stand. Delivery (to Hong Kong) was ~400 CNY.
Another good option is the FP-18 which is a mainland market-only China model that's an upgrade overthe FP-10 in that it has more sounds and also supports three pedals. It's about ~1200 CNY cheaper than the FP-30X. Downside is slightly inferior sound and speakers compared to FP-30x
I also tried out the Yamaha portables...P-525 was excellent but about 3x the cost of the FP-30x. I didn't really like feel of the action of the cheaper Yamaha (P-225?).
So far FP-30X has been great...the bluetooth MIDI interface and bluetooth interfaces work seamlessly with my iPad. I haven't tried out Hanon Pro yet but it's been really thrilling to try out the various piano learning apps. If I had these back in the 90s, I'd probably be a much better piano player now! Better late than never!

- Yes, daily.
Mobile workspace for programming with Mac screen + 1 visionOS safari window for documentation and + 1 visionOS safari window for Kagi Assistant (Ai chatbot access)
General browsing, reading and watching apple tv or youtube (via juno).
Writing...magic keyboard + vision pro. Missing are decent writing apps...the popular iOS/iPadOS/macOS disabled their access on visionOS. I end up using Notes because I don't have a microsoft office subscription and Pages also isn't on visionOS.
I don't use it for all of these use cases every day.

- Actually realized I was using Firefox Focus on that Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Just downloaded Firefox to try it and it's also the same as Firefox Focus...no issue. Could it be an extension? Fwiw, I don't have any extensions installed on any of the browsers.
- Silky smooth on both a two year old Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (Xiaomi 12) using both Chrome and Firefox and on a iPhone Pro Max 15 using Safari. Might be some other problem with your phone?
- Unplugging the power is the primary on-off switch.
Mainland China lets people opt out of phone calls that come from outside of the Mainland...it's a feature one can turn off on an on their mobile plan.
Calls from outside the Mainland always cause a warning to pop up on the receiving user's phone that says something like "this call is coming from outside of the mainland, be careful of being scammed".
I can imagine there are many reasons the US doesn't fix this..one of which probably that much of US customer service is outsourced to people outside the US!
