    A quick check with release build on macOS shows the component demo has a non-zero energy impact in the background (per activity monitor), but the input example has zero energy impa…

    It relies on `pw-record` for recording audio and `ydotool` for triggering keyboard input. These are Linux specific. I don't know about Windows, but on my Mac I have a not-yet-publi…

    Just for fun. I like both languages. I thought Rust would be better fit on account of interop with whisper.cpp, but turns out the use of cgo was straight forward in this case. I li…

    Mostly using Wipr 2. Brave works very well but Safari seemed maybe slightly snappier (I know the browser engine is the same). Tried this but seems like it blocked less than Wipr 2 …

    I used the prompt included in llama.cpp and it worked for me in English (for fun GK type questions): MODEL=./models/mistral-7b-v0.1.Q5_K_M.gguf N_THREAD=16 ./examples/chat-13B.sh

    I used mistral-7b-v0.1.Q5_K_M.gguf and it responded to basic questions.

    It can! TheBloke is to thank for the incredibly quick turnaround. https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/3362 https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-v0.1-GGUF/tree/ma...

    Ah, I remember seeing this a long time ago. It seemed like something CL fans would enjoy, but to me it felt verbose. I guess this is my Clojure preference showing. Regarding runtim…

    Nice! My goal in Dak is to reach a point where macros can allow transforming hiccup like syntax to hyperapp or React like function calls, or original hiccup style optimized string …

    Thanks! My fear taking this path is around performance. I've not done any profiling yet, and I'm hoping I don't regret taking this path when I get around to it.

    I'm a huge fan of Clojure and have had a lot of fun building things with it. CLJS on the other hand has felt heavy to me, from a browser performance and dev tooling perspective. Cl…

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll add some notes comparing it with other attempts like you suggested.

    Show HN: Dak – a Lisp-like language that transpiles to JavaScript

    Hi HN, author here. Happy to answer any questions. I had an itch to make a lisp like language that was a thin layer on top JavaScript. Something that could leverage the thriving ec…

    Correct and fair. Updated the code to remove the safety issue.

    Comment #26545402

    The bytes are assumed to be utf8 (I was using the safer `from_utf8` prior to confirming the data was utf8). I brought in `twoway` when I couldn't find a way to `rfind` using `aho-c…

    Safety for me is confidence to use the thing. For me in my own code, but also others on my team that may work on this code. I mostly have experience building things in GC languages…

    If the default is set to something else, say DuckDuckGo, it'll go there instead right?

    Would be great to understand what communication with Google servers can be turned off via setting changes rather than code changes, and what cannot.

    Anyone have experience with making this work? I tried starting it on the server I have WireGuard running on and it fails to start because it also wants to bind to the UDP port Wire…

    One aspect is that upgrading Go only requires upgrading it on the build infrastructure rather than a deployment of a new JVM. The "next build" will simply be a binary built with a …

    Largely it just means that it uses the `LISTEN_FDS` environment variable and passes the sockets down starting at fd=3 (more here: https://github.com/facebookgo/grace/blob/master/gr…

    It doesn't find dependencies like /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt or /usr/share/zoneinfo.
