Are you implying that this must be funded by some shadowy group? I don’t see why, people independently make media mocking politicians all the time.

I don’t think this holds at all, because the idea with a lot of vibe-code workflows is “humans never need to read the code” which would mean that human dev ergonomics are irrelevant. Here, the blog post is still clearly targeted at humans,

Agreed. Saving maybe a dozen tokens is meaningless when a task can easily chew through ten thousand times that many. A single misdescribed task will use more tokens than all my spelling mistakes all year.

I mainly object to AI writing when it’s excessively verbose. This was pretty information dense, a few AI-isms didn’t make it a waste of my time to read.

IMO there are two things that make me optimistic that we won’t see a big rug pull where price-to-capability ratio skyrockets relative to today: * As you’ve noted, people keep finding ways of slamming more intelligence into smaller models, m

Look at the "News" section in the readme - The original TTS model is gone from this repo (you can still find it other places), but the SST/ASR, long form TTS, and streaming TTS models are newer.

Note that this just covers the Speech-to-Text/Speech-Recognition aspect (a-la whisper), there's also models for long-form Text-To-Speech and steaming Text-To-Speech.

The low end could be something like an eBay-sourced server with a truckload of DDR3 ram doing all-cpu inference - secondhand server models with a terabyte of ram can be had for about 1.5K. The TPS will be absolute garbage and it will sound

It has a CLI component and a very flashy TUI application. The TUI has lots of effort put in to layouts, color, and really pushing the boundaries of what a TUI can be. It looks a bit “hacker in a 2000s movie” except with pink instead of gree

I've been using Kilo Code (VS Code Plugin) for the last few days, and it does most of what I liked in Cursor without tying me to their particular subscription. That said, people are increasingly migrating to CLI tools (Claude Code if y

I don’t think this is the case. With “accidentally” collecting an individual’s data, the company’s risk is that somebody cares enough to sue them based on vague and poorly defined damages. With “accidentally” collecting source code, you’ve

Cursor very reasonably had a “no retention” checkbox available to everyone, including those on free plans.

That was always the case. Lots of “flasher” applications have had web dependencies where they’d download the latest firmware to a temp directory before flashing.

I was initially going to be dismissive because everything is against everybody’s ToS (ie last I checked it was against my ISP’s ToS to operate any sort of server)… but looks like cloudflare actually actively enforces this one, so yes my com

Are they? This seems about deceptive or malicious content (i.e., redirecting to ads) rather than “something in my history triggers a JS redirect”. I’ve definitely experienced the latter with MS, but never the former.

What’s a bit hard for me to rationalize here is why are market shifts considered a negative externality here? We didn’t tax moulding machines because they reduced the demand for sculptors. Don’t get me wrong, I think the end goal of “Tax th

I am thoughoughly unconvinced that the “AI-based layoffs” are actually caused by AI displacing workers and aren’t just regular layoffs caused by other factors with a smokescreen of “Actually we’re laying people off because we’re doing reall

I think it is worth noting that “what they charge for api access” != “marginal cost of inference”. So I don’t think getting i.e. $40 of api usage for $20 would be insane. $131 for $20 does probably mean somebody is losing money though.

I think this is very pessimistic. Yes, big models are "smarter" and have more inherent knowledge but I'd bet you a coffee that what 99% of people want to do with Siri isn't "Write me an essay on the history of texti

These folks are MIT, so citations are valuable to them. Citations convert into prestige, academic career progression, or a favorable exit from academia into industry. Also, I don't see why you couldn't patent this if you wanted to

Same reason the F35 manufacture is awkwardly distributed throughout the US - the shore up political support (voting to kill jobs in your state is usually unpopular) and dip into as many subsidies as possible.

It is absolutely a lubricant - it is a combination "lubricant, rust preventive, penetrant and moisture displacer". Whether it's the correct or best lubricant for many applications is iffy, but that doesn't mean it is

Related, somebody recently did this for Coke. There's a video on YouTube (I'd link it but my anti-procrastination filter is on). But yes, I strongly suspect a motivated party could use analytical chemistry to work it out.

Different people want different attachment types (or no attachment point at all), so it makes sense for that to be external. I've used other trackers with integrated attachment points, and because the attachment point has to be very co
