Like a real-time voice changer? I'm sure some such thing exists. I'm building a real-time voice changer for RPG sessions because I'm terrible at doing voices. Half my NPCs all sound the same!

Now that piques my interest. I really enjoy writing Vala.

I'm working on a side project to clean up and fix EPUB files with transcription errors, incomplete or inaccurate metadata, and other issues. Users can accept/reject/edit the fixes as they go through it. I have the command-lin

They've also been pushing digital-only PS5s and PS5 Pro so there are fewer reasons to get a disk if you have no disk drive. They have created the problem that they are "solving."

The PS5 is great. We have a PS5 and PS5 Pro, both with disk drives (internal or external). But I really hate this policy. My brother comes over regularly to watch my pets, and he can simply bring a couple of his PS5 games over and play them

I'm using it at work as well. It's quite challenging to manage.

I found the video on YouTube before the IEEE article. It's a fascinating story.

This seems adjacent to Chesterton's Fence, though maybe not the canonical form of it. For anyone not familiar with the term, Chesterton's Fence is the idea that you should understand why a rule exists before trying to remove it or

This is what I've been doing for years. It's remarkably stress-free!

I agree. Their fountain pens and inks are just rock solid, and I've practically never run into an issue with any of mine. I wish more companies would obsess over the details like Pilot does.

I'm working on a Neovim plugin to render LaTeX in Markdown, and I'm struggling with this. Why is it so hard to simply render an image from KaTeX?

I am happy to package it and port it for Gtk/GNOME today.

I am a big fan of fountain pens, and I think they're a great hobby.

I also got Fira Code, followed by Ubuntu Mono, Source Code Pro, and Oxygen Mono.

I agree. If the real concern is the flood of low-effort slop, unmaintainable patches, accidental code reuse, or licensing violations, then the process should target those directly. The useful work is improving review and triage so those pro

Whoa, I have been looking for AI-enhanced tab grouping for a while. This is actually pretty awesome.

I had this same issue early on when trying to adopt Obsidian. I was overwhelmed by all the "systems" and I was worried I was creating a headache for myself later on. Now I just focus on dumping text in, using search, and linking o

That makes sense for code or technical text, but it is less relevant for car UIs. In an infotainment system you almost never see ambiguous strings where O vs 0 or I vs l matters. Everything is highly contextual, short, and glance-based. The

Have you looked at tldr/tealdeer[0]? It may do much of what you're looking for, albeit without LLM assistance. 0: https://tealdeer-rs.github.io/tealdeer/

I had no issues using Firefox on a 2021 M1 Pro or my Framework 13. Reader mode does not work, however.

I've had good results from the James Hoffman recipe [0], although I brew inverted. You can push the plunger down with just the weight of resting your arm on the plunger. For something very different, you can brew something not-quite-es

We have been fine-tuning models using Axolotl and Unsloth, with a slight preference for Axolotl. Check out the docs [0] and fine-tune or quantize your first model. There is a lot to be learned in this space, but it's exciting. 0: http

This is what I use, and it works well. It's very straightforward to add apps and automatically update them as new releases are pushed to Github or wherever they are hosted.

This idea feels a little like bullet journaling or logseq [0] to me. For what it's worth, I do this in Obsidian and clean-up my thoughts on a regular basis. It hits the right balance of minimalism and usefulness for me. 0: https:&#x2F

Is this quote real? I'm familiar with George Pólya's, "If you cannot solve the proposed problem, try to solve first a simpler related problem" but I cannot find any source for the Lenstra quote.

The challenge I have is how to get bounding boxes for the OCR, for things like redaction/de-identification.

This is definitely surprising given they announced a KMP standalone IDE only a few months ago. For now, Flutter still seems to make more sense than KMP while the KMP world is still maturing.

If it can call tools, then it could be used to download a larger, more useful model. Or send API requests to another model.

As someone working in aviation safety, this is heartbreaking and awful to watch. The efforts of CAST and ASIAS in reducing aviation safety accidents have been very successful, but of course we still have so much to do.

This approach is used in Federated Learning where participants want to collaboratively train a model without sharing raw training data.
