The only problem with this PR/diff is that it creates just a avfilter wrapper around whisper.cpp library and requires the user to manage the dependencies on their own. This is not …

I literally had the same experience when I asked the top code LLMs (Claude Code, GPT-4o) to rewrite the code from Erlang/Elixir codebase to Java. It got some things right, but most…

Elon mentioned that Grok's 4 image and video understanding capabilities are somewhat limited and he suggested a new version of the foundation model is being trained to address thes…

Isn't this exactly what Google's new NotebookLM does? Cool idea anyway :)

When I read lossless, I immediately thought about the editing of the real lossless formats like ProRes, MJPEG2000, HuffYUV, etc. But what this ultimately does it remuxes the origin…

I love projects like this. It shows the true potential of what LLMs and RAG can unlock. Imagine applying the same method on the actual content within the threads and extract the se…

This is exactly what https://www.perplexity.ai/ is trying to do. Maybe not "RAGing" the entire internet, but sure using the mapping between natural language query to their own (pro…

A lot of the answers to your question focus solely on the infra piece of the deployment process, which is just one, albeit, important piece of the puzzle. Each model is built using…

If you don't care about the details of how those model servers work, then something that abstracts out the whole process like LM Studio or Ollama is all you need. However, if you w…

I've tried code-llama with Ollama, along with Continue.dev and found it to be pretty good. The only downside is that I couldn't "productively" run the 70B version, even on my MBP w…

Galaksija was truly a "masterpiece" at that time, made by a single person by stitching together various smuggled parts from the West. I have a huge admiration and respect for Voja,…

I will always remember when the "Takedown" movie came out. I loved the original "Hackers" and couldn't wait for "Hackers 2" which was Takedown. I had learned about Mitnick few year…

I've been using Threads since late yesterday and it's been very slow... sometimes it wouldn't even load content when you browse specific profiles (especially the active ones with t…

I remember when Evernote launched and everyone was super hyped about it -- even some of the biggest VC names promoted them. Not to mention the funding they raised ($290M). It was l…

Nicely done. Does Azure Speech to Text also handle speech synthesis and provide out of the box voices for different characters or you had to build your own model to do this? It's i…

Great job. I must say that the speech synthesis sounds pretty realistic. I talked with Jobs, Musk and Obama and liked how they sounded and more importantly how they handled the que…

Glad to see this is still going. I was sad to see CodeJam being shut down recently. We need more programs like GSoC and CJ as they encourage students to take a part of something gr…

This is brilliant. A long time ago when I worked on Windows video apps, I used to use Graph Studio[1] to visualize the video graph comprised of countless DirectShow filters. It occ…

I've been following Kagi's development for some time now and the idea looks promising. Not sure if the team plans to develop its own crawling engine and index that won't depend ent…

I agree with this. From my experience most of the data scientists I have worked with didn't exit the world of Jupyter notebooks. For them, code management, CI/CD, dev/stage/prod se…

My advice is to read "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing". It's an amazing read written by people who strongly believe in Jack Bogle's (founder of Vanguard) vision to democratize t…

Interesting concept, but I think Big Query ML [1] has been providing similar features for years now. Curious to learn what are the differences, other than offering this as a Postgr…

Are you just interested in the training part and managing the trained models, or you'd actually like to productionize the models and serve them at scale? A lot of end-to-end platfo…

Wow. That's a real bummer -- an end of an era. I've been relying on Alexa (as part of various browser extensions over the years) to get a sense of a popularity of a given website f…

There is a local company here in Seattle called Pulumi[1]. We've been using their tool extensively over the last 18+ months and it's pleasure to use. It's built on top of Terraform…
