Why would AI wipe us out? We have not wiped out apes, ants, and most other species. We even have discussions about how to actively save them from extinction.

I actually can relate to AI music better than to music made by humans. I always feel some jealousy when listening to rockstars. Because they get all the action and I get so little. They see the world, are desired by all the beautiful women,

When running a test all I see is: Error loading video Please try refreshing the page No matter how often I refresh, that is all I get. Maybe you need more QA? When I open my browser console, I see this: Capturing error: E

Apart from the "warfare" aspect, it is an interesting question whether the combination of "The man is attractive because of money" and "The woman is attractive because of her looks" can work. When I look at ins

From 1994 to now, it only goes from 50 to 109? That looks like the "inflation" the government wants you to believe in. Name one thing that only doubled in price over the last 30 years. Even gold (which has its own inflation) went

If it follows redirects, have you tried redirecting it to its own domain?

Funny, in the comparison image the article shows for the 3 design styles - Skeuomorphic, Flat, Liquid Glass - the Skeuomorphic one looks absolutely best to me: https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images&

How do you set the voice? On the Huggingface demo, there seems to be no option for it. It has a female voice. Any way to set it to a male voice?

Can you link to that comment? I don't see a mention of "Claude" anywhere in this thread. Also nobody here showed they were able to "do this" yet.

As I said in my original comment that started this thread, I don't use any server side tech. So there is no "npm package". I am only using a browser.

I have tried that a bunch of times and a bunch of ways and did not get ffmpeg to work. It might have to do with these two strange comments at the top: // import { FFmpeg } from '@ffmpeg/ffmpeg'; /&#x2

He said it is a matter of copy+paste, not work. I don't think so as I did not get it to run. And if he really can accomplish it with copy+paste, why wouldn't he demonstrate it?

If there is a "copy and paste" way to get that to run in the browser, can you copy and paste it to a jsfiddle and post the link to the fiddle here?

I think there is some kind of misunderstanding here. You say "an environment with React". My environment is the browser. I don't know how one is supposed to run that nameless function on that page. What I am looking for is a

Can you put it on jsfiddle or some other codebin? I would love to see it.

The problem is that they don't provide the full code that can run in the browser. I have not managed to get the function they show in the first example to run in the browser.

I know there are JavaScript ports of FFmpeg and I would love to use them. But so far, I never got it working. I tried it with AI and this prompt: Make a simple example of speeding up an mp4 video in the browser using a version of

Where does it pull the Debian image from? I would think the Docker infrastructure is financed by Docker Inc as a marketing tool for their paid services? Are they ok when other software utilizes it?

I never tried Podman. I guess the benefit is that it runs on demand and not as a always on demon? How does one install podman on Debian and how does one get a Debian image to run inside podman?

From my perspective, the web is fine from a technological standpoint. Anybody can easily put text, images, video, audio online. Finding something that is interesting is the hard part for me. I would like to see examples of individuals putti

Is there really ever a use case for that? When do you want part of your page to have different fonts, colors, everything from the rest of the page?

I have been following the web components discussion for years now and just don't see what I can do with them that makes my life as a fullstack developer better. All the examples I have seen use them to template some data into html. I c

Removing the GIL sounds like it will make typical Python programs slower and will introduce a lot of complexity? What is the real world benefit we will get in return? In the rare case where I need to max out more than one CPU core, I usual

Their reasoning is that some platforms like Heroku do not support SQLite. Why use those then and not a platform that supports it, like Glitch? I have used Postgres, MySql etc, but having the project storage in a single file is making things

So when you bookmark the Hacker News frontpage, that would be a hash of its current content and then you will visit that stale stale version forever and never see any new stories?

I'm very happy with my Linux desktop. I mostly live in the Plasma desktop, Konsole and Firefox. And life is good. What are you missing?
