    Nice write up! It is cool to see that PostgreSQL is still standing. Adyen has some nice blog posts about squeezing the max out of PostgreSQL https://medium.com/adyen/all?topic=post…

    The desktop app is pretty terrible and super flaky, throwing vague errors all the time. Claude code seems to be doing much better. I also use it for non-code related tasks.

    Are they not performing well because they are trained to be more generic, or is the task too complex? It seems like a cheap problem to fine-tune.

    How does it compare to Mistral’s model?

    A lot of the open-source TTS models are released for English or Chinese and lack support for other languages. I was curious to see if I could train a state-of-the-art text-to-speec…

    Whisper-v3 works well for multi-lingual. I tried it with Dutch, German and English

    Whisper works on 30 second chunks. So yes it can do that and that’s also why it can hallucinate quite a bit.

    That’s been done to see if it could extrapolate and predict the future. Can’t find the link right now to the paper.

    BCAAS have been debunked countless of times. The only people recommencing BCAAS are selling them.

    Yes! I did something similar with daily exercises at https://app.fluentsubs.com/exercises/daily

    Congrats on the success! Are you not afraid that MS ships a wiki upgrade at a certain point?

    I've changed the UX to be click & drop instead of dragging it. Much better on mobile (and desktop too).
