    Love the idea, but I can't handle the big screens on these smart watches. To me it feels like having a fisher price toy on my wrist. Hopefully a more open alternative to Withings w…

    Depending on what data you want, you can try Withings watches. I'm currently reversing the protocol and it mostly works.

    For me, sloppy content is worse than no content. I'd rather have 3 sentences written by a human than a wall of Claudespeak. Do you have an RSS or a way to subscribe to the TTS work…

    It's supposed to handle acceleration though, if you bring your phone to your face quickly dots get larger. I've done some in-car testing, but things get squeamish quickly so it's n…

    Interesting project, but the slop readme made me quit reading halfway

    I spent a day fiddling with AI and dropping the expensive layers in kokoro, on phones, on CPU, on MNN, it runs 3x faster. Quality is very close. Will vary in your setup, but here i…

    I am making (open) finetunes for malayalam and kannada (and bengali, gujarati, hebrew), and need someone to transcribe a few images for me. Could you contact me if you are interest…

    Amazing! I'd recommend using PaddlePaddle OCR models if you want to make your handwriting conversion local, it's definitely fast enough. Probably faster than the Sonnet call. I tri…

    Commercial or FOSS? I've been researching the mobile side and it's very exciting!

    Sounds great, but if you din't cave to apple/google (eg: graphene, lineage), models are not built-in. Every app needs to ship their own models, and they are not tiny. Is there a so…

    There's definitely a much smaller, cleaner kubernetes hiding inside the current monstrosity. LB, Services, pods, DNS gets you like 99% of the way there

    How do you manage to finish things? After a while, for me, the novelty high wears out, and instead it becomes a wall. Some project require something silly, like sending 1 email to …

    This captures a lot of how I've been feeling lately. Thanks for sharing

    With this approach I managed to get to sub-10ms start (to pid1), if you can accept a few constraints there's plenty of room! Though my version was only tested on Linux hosts

    Working (again) on an offline translator for Android: https://github.com/davidventura/offline-translator This week I added TTS support, which needed multiple inference pipelines, i…

    Niiiiiice, I've been working on something like this, but reducing linux boot time instead of snapshot restore time; obviously my solution doesn't work for heavy runtimes

    Says fast, but how fast? Didn't really see any measurements

    TCC is fantastic! Very hackable, easy to compile to WASM for some interesting in-browser compilation

    That makes sense, I guess this was not a problem for the times I needed nolibc. I do agree that trying to extract data/logic from linux is a pain -- I've tried a few times to extra…

    Unikraft is cool, I still have it in my 'todo' list to play around with sometime. Linking the app with the 'kernel' seems pretty nice, would be cool to see what that looks like for…

    Would it be cheating to use the kernel's nolibc?

    You can do <10ms. I was working to see if I could get it under 1ms, but my best was 3.5ms
