Just a few months ago I set-up a serverless gpu service just using whisper.cpp and it detects very well my very-local spanish modisms. I have an active program running on a vps that hits the serverless gpu with the audio when needed because

Same, I think there's too much friction yet. Maybe at some point it could become a crosspoint feature I hope! EDIT: Just checking on the crosspoint site they say such thing is not planned: https://crosspointreader.com/r

More than a special status as a host country, as far as I understand it is explicitly not a member state, hence it's separated from the rest of the flags (Which is curious because despite being the host country, it doesn't guarant

Apple never released a driver that supports Vulkan out of the box, therefore MoltenVK was born, which translates Vulkan IR to Metal source then recompiles to Metal shaders. This was the pipeline in Proton for macOS (I'm not sure if it&

I saw this a while ago so it might not be totally related, but Sebastian Lague did a video on atmospheres for his planet generation experiment which was also very entertaining to watch [1]. There's something particularly entertaining o

haha did something similar. Ended up vibe-coding something with Hugo and using backblaze + cloudflare proxy to host the images. So far everything has been free and I have a snappy 'portfolio' :-)'

I've tried Irys as well but the mobile only is kind of a deal breaker for me — I like seeing images in the big monitor to appreciate them more. Of course I also have my webpage to showcase my favourite pictures but I feel I'm more

Lately I've been enjoying photography a lot but Flickr never clicked for me. Instagram nowadays is almost unusable for this as it prioritizes reels too much and 500px... I liked that one more than Flickr. Right now, I'm using glas

I did run with this setup for a few months (I believe like, 5 months already?) and when it works, it's nice, but 90% of the time it has been extremely painful. Something breaks, one automatically updates and then it breaks the entire d

Came here to appreciate the same. Not only it truly captures the scale, but does it in a great way.

Same for me, sadly. One of the reasons why I learned vim was because I enjoy staying in the keyboard; I'm a fast typer and part of the fun is typing out the code I'm thinking. I can see how some folks only really like seeing the f

You have to realize, that some folks were born in the age of super-information and immediacy. When I take a picture, I get the luxury of immediately see what I got. When I wanted to hear some music, I can search it up, and hear an entire al

Well, last time the US intervened in my country it was to actually install a dictator that would benefit them. It's too early to say it's a win-win situation.

The tip that I've been using quite a lot lately by debugging long log files is using `&` to filter what I want to read and `&!` to filter-out what's not useful (and they support regexes). Admittedly, they are a bit slow so

That is exactly my point, though. I didn't mean they do it on the first time, or that it is correct, I mean that you can 'run' and 'test it' to see if it does what you want in the way you want. The same cannot be sa

Completely off-topic but I just love how the pettiness of Musk was abused by twitter community. I had a chuckle reading all of these.

> 2) Ask an LLM, which gets you 80-90% of the way there. Hallucinations and sycophancy are still an issue, 80-90% is being generous I think. I know this is not issues of the LLM itself, but rather the implementation & companies behin

I haven't tried with this specific topic, but being the pleasers llms are, I doubt someone so focused on being anti-vaxxer will be convinced by an LLM, if anything, the LLM will give them reason at some point.

LLMs have certainly become extremely useful for Software Engineers, they're very convincing (and pleasers, too) and I'm still unsure about the future of our day-to-day job. But one thing that has scared me the most, is the trust o

It works wonders! I build free-cameras and some other tools (all for offline games, of course) fully in Rust, and you'd be surprised how much you could do. In one of them I hook into C++'s inheritance with no issue, just by unders

I guess if you take it literally, yeah. But I've seen plenty of boring pics of lakes and none were on top posts, contrary to these cases. It is of course subjective what makes a good photo or not, but sometimes it is pretty clear why a

I can totally attest this. I was an avid viewer of r/analog. I don't know if this was 'recent' or not, but every time someone post a naked picture, either good or not, it goes rapidly to Top posts. Even though it used to

I've used it for fun to analyze some data of some community in real time without having to host anything on my side. Doing data analysis in javascript feels a bit weird at first, but it allows you to write a bit more functional code th

LinkedIn posts really read like an alternative reality (which I would not like to be a part of, lol). I cannot take seriously most of what I read over there. The comments are also often toxic, the whole business is... just weird. What'
