Is it just me? But every time I use a paradigm of global immutable state, almost always I run into edge cases where practically it falls apart either semantically (mental model exp…

That is definitely not the case. It transcribes everything very accurately, especially all the "ahs" and "uhms".

What's the best local TTS model right now? I'm running parakeet on a mac which transcribes all my uh's and aahs. I'm running whisper on linux/cuda and I by far prefer that one over…

It's kind of ironic how this doesn't work in Firefox.

Scientists are the ones with real agency and leverage. The change has to come from the grassroots.

Careful with this philosophy. It does work well for the short term. At some point of constant following of 'disagree and commit' mantra, you'll end up in a world where you have zer…

The system is fine. The culture is broken. Scientific publishing isn't forced on the community by regulation or necessity. You can publish papers in infinite number of ways online.…

Genuinely interesting, thank you.

Have you tried setting up a bot for something like WhatsApp? I'd much rather use a KGB spy platform with actual user ergonomics.

This is pretty awesome. I work with editors and monaco-like things a ton, and I review (look at) very large PRs very often. Having this speedy optimized interface is a delight. Che…

Did they even ask their customer base before approving the design? I don't care about Ferrari, but people who do care about Ferrari will not like this.

Bold of you to assume that lawmakers have any common sense when it comes to technology legislation. It could have taken 3 interns 3 hours at each browser company to implement a coo…

They were crazy overzealous about not allowing these technologies for a long time. I'm pretty sure I had many posts about this complaining over the years.

Woah this is a MASSIVE deviation from FF's previous philosophy on allowing WebSerial. This is a GOOD thing!

What I don't quite understand is why would one of the most advanced AI labs use rudimentary broken text match heuristics to track and detect abuse. Why not run simple inference on …

Yall remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation ? Back in 2004-ish era, there was an explosion of very creative interaction methods due to flash and browser per…

hahaha I’m glad I’m just a procedurally generated NPC I built one for cross platform — using parakeet mlx or faster whisper. :)

Honestly, I found that the best way to use these CLIs is exactly how the CLI creators have intended.

Yeah, that's exactly what I started to do with mine. It runs local Whisper on a CUDA, on a graphics card. Whisper is actually better than any other model that I've seen, even thing…

I built something similar for Linux (yapyap — push-to-talk with whisper.cpp). The "local is too slow" argument doesn't hold up anymore if you have any GPU at all. whisper large-v3-…

Thanks for surfacing this. If you click to "tools" button to the left of "compile", you'll see a list of comments, and you can resolve them from there. We'll keep improving and fix…

Eh. This is yet another "I tried AI to do a thing, and it didn't do it the way I wanted it, therefore I'm convinced that's just how it is... here's a blog about it" article. "Claud…
