I had the same problem. I think a lot of people reading this will have weak hamstrings. I think it's a natural consequence of desk work. Adding in some Romanian Deadlifts really fo…

3) Whisper really needs to be paired with Silero VAD, otherwise the hallucination problem makes it almost unusable.

I have a question about Mistral OCR. If I give the model a PDF that is 90% text, is it actually performing OCR on an image representation of the text? Or is it smart enough to extr…

I really like this concept, and am working on a similar product for my own self-study. I would like to see more language support. For me, I'd like to study Korean The UX around car…

Interesting choice of a 24kHz sample rate for PCM audio. I wonder if the model was trained on 24kHz audio, rather than the usual 8/16kHz for ML models.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey

This looks interesting. Most devices have noise suppression built in. Do you use RNNoise in tandem with the hardware noise suppression, or do you disable it? Also, are there any pl…

Yes! I’ve had the same experience with spaced-repetition. I’ve used Memrise.com to learn a large set of Korean vocab words. I’ve found it’s improved my general recall ability, not …

I know this is theoretically true, but I've never found this to be the case in practice. Coinbase, in fact, has made it a rule that all things must be put in useMemo. https://attar…

I've been using react native heavily for the past 18 months. Because there's no JIT, Javascript is slow on mobile, especially on Android. I spend a lot of my creative energy trying…

Yeah. And with the soft-launch system, they can be hidden away in any house or enclosed space.

From the useMemo docs: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usememo You may rely on useMemo as a performance optimization, not as a semantic guarantee. In the future, Reac…

The situation is much more severe with react-native, which doesn’t have a JIT compiler available.

So, is this thing going to fall over and kill everyone or what? Someone with engineering experience, please explain why this is hyperbolic and downvote me away. I don't know anythi…

Imposing taxes on a legal entity always seemed fishy to me. Politically, it sounds great to say, "Make the corporations pay their share!", but who exactly are we targeting with the…

Came here to say this. I trained for about 7 months before Covid shut everything down. I figured maybe I would just focus on lifting from here on out. Then, 6 weeks ago someone sto…

No worries! I enjoyed checkout out your implementation! I think such a tool would be complicated to implemented. I was thinking maybe of integrating with tagged template literals s…
