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. Check out their trees lib as well.

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 cookie consent standard 15 years ago, yet here we are in cookie

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 actual turns out of band, and if abuse is detected, adj

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 things like Parakeet. It can do language detection. It

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-turbo with CUDA on an RTX card transcribes a

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 fixing things that might be rough

It's crazy how the etymology of "Kentucky" cannot be traced with certainty. Goes to show how much of the native American culture and language is now untraceable and how fragile our record-keeping is, even in "modern time

I always wondered how something like AWS or GCP Cloud Console admin UIs get shipped. How could someone deliver a product like these and be satisfied, rewarded, promoted, etc. How can Google leadership look at this stuff and be like... &quot

This is nuts and I absolutely love this. So you convert the PDF into image, edit the image, then convert the image back into a PDF.

Object.defineProperty on every request to set params / query / body is probably slower than regular property assignment. Also parsing the body on every request without the ability to change it could hurt performance (if you'r

In my opinion, attempting to perform live dictation is a solution that is looking for a problem. For example, the way I'm writing this comment is: I hold down a keyboard shortcut on my keyboard, and then I just say stuff. And I can say

I've done something similar for Linux and Mac. I originally used Whisper and then switched to Parakeet. I much prefer whisper after playing with both. Maybe I'm not configuring Parakeet correctly, But the transcription that comes

Honestly, I think if you track the performance of each over time, since these get regenerated once in a while, you can then have a very, very useful and cohesive benchmark.

Fair point about problem-fit - some problems do naturally lend themselves to one approach over the other. But I think the Sudoku example is less about top-down vs bottom-up and more about dogmatic adherence to abstractions (OOP in that case

I think the author makes a good point about understanding structure over symbol manipulation, but there's a slippery slope here that bothers me. In practice, I find it much more productive to start with a computational solution - write
