"real coding" carries a lot of the weight in that comment. Seems like if you ask 5 different people what "real coding" means you might get 5 different answers. Not everyone is building the next framework or compiler. Sel

It did a great job with this prompt. Got it done in about the time it would take me to login and load Fusion. I forgot to include the wire diameter but it made a reasonable assumption and included it in the params for edits "Make a g

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about statements like these which seem to assume the reader is incredibly uninformed and naive, to the point of condescension. "sends the information to a central storing place (called a d

I recently migrated off of my legacy "Google Apps for Your Domain" (now Workspace) account to a mix of self hosting and a regular old vanilla gmail account. It was a real eye opener to experience how challenging it was to move my

Fair enough for GPU-intensive stuff like running Qwen locally. But do you really need a GPU for decent local TTS? I run parakeet just on CPU.

I've been using Chirp which uses parakeet on Windows. Learned about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45930659 Works great for me!

Wow that is wild. Thanks for explaining. I've never seen a prompt like that on my phone and would not have guessed this.

How did this play out? Were the ads from an app from the store that you had installed? Or did they spam you over SMS because they associated your bluetooth info with an account you have with the store, or contact info they bought from a t

Apple is another major player in the email receiving game for consumers. And they are awful, by far the worst of all the big providers. They do not send dmarc reports and they make it very difficult to tell why they accept some email and

I just wish I could still download all podcasts without needing an Apple or Google account to do so. What happened to podcast RSS feeds? Many are still available but it certainly isn't universal like in the past.
