You got pedantic instead of replying to my overall point. To take a step back, which browser do you use? Did it come with an ad blocker? Do you apply these same standards to all browsers and fiercely challenge them like Brave, let's sa

Widevine is Google's DRM. Their lack of linux support makes it difficult. The point of the article is to support it instead of bypassing it, thus not violating DMCA.

All browsers deal in advertising, it's the only way to make money on a free product. And if you don't want the JS that Eich created to run in your browser, you can turn it off... most people like to run sandboxed code instead of i

If you read the full thing he's saying the autocomplete should not have filled in a referral code, only typing in the full address. It's the same thing as when FireFox adds it's referral code when going to Google Search, I be

Yeah... honestly I skimmed over it being Laos. While I do like domain hacks I would never support a communist regime, which the domain rental most likely directly goes to.

I like the "domain hack". Their acronym is DPLA, they wanted dp.la. Pretty simple.

This thread is about the wrapper, which is open source. You can run Whisper locally, and it is open source. Feel free to fork this open source project and adapt it to a locally run Whisper instance.

Or use this nice UI for now to trial, and when that reality comes... transition to the API if you still need to do what you need to to? So I would suggest this project to try things out, then setup Whisper locally :) But what do I know,

Out of curiosity, could you share those envelope pushing products of yours?

Many people on HN infamously called Dropbox just an rsync script, right? It's usually all in the details and delivery (and ya'know we're lazy and lack time to setup stuff locally) Though I wouldn't really knock anything

Yeah I know. I was making a point about arbitrary statements and anecdotes. Relax.

A 1 hour down time every infrequently is nothing, but at the same time a codebase can be brittle. Are you saying the two are mutually exclusive? Brittle code means it's hard to change, and causes issues when changed, but other than tha

No. I think the people creating drama here should take responsibility and act like professionals. No need to pull out terms like gaslighting to justify creating more drama. A 1 hour downtime is nothing.

99% of companies who need this do pay it forward. Shall we source our percentages or just keep throwing them out?

I'm simply saying you don't know the situation, how GP was compensated, etc. Yes, shit companies exist and abuse their employees. You quit and move on. There's no indication that this was happening.

by MrOwnPut 4y ago
Yes that's the same person I quoted, "papito". Their "probably" was about them probably realizing, not probably being abused. OP was absolute in their accusation of abuse in his above post that I quoted. That&#x

Or else your site for logged out users will go down for an hour? What was the reason when Twitter went down pre-Elon? I really don't see the reason for this artificial drama. Do other "X service is down" threads go this way?
168.
by MrOwnPut 4y ago
Certainly. I've been in a poorly run business that did this, and I quit. But I don't mind working late every now and during crunch time, it gets paid forward, usually with time off later. It's about your relationship with you

They've switched back and forth many times this year.

Who said they were underpaid?

The lesson is if Elon runs Twitter, an hour long downtime takes up everyone's day so we can all speculate. Before, it was "healthy for everyone" when Twitter went down (search hn.algolia.com for pre-Elon Twitter downtime thre

Safety laws are fine, we're talking about a person saying they enjoyed a late night coding session.

Seems to be back up now. Both logged in and logged out states are working. This thread is just an hour old btw, not sure when the issue started. Seems like a huge reaction from HN for an hour long downtime given that Twitter has gone down f

A picture of someone sleeping on the ground is not really a good indicator of their work performance one way or the other. Only the company would really have insight into that. Pulling a late night and sleeping on the ground does not make y

I believe GP said he had fun. People should be allowed to work how they want to, they have the freedom (especially in this industry) to go elsewhere. I've pulled late nights, they bought us pizza and gave us a half day later. Sometimes

So they don't realize now they are being abused even though they have first hand experience, but you realize they are being abused because you have what insight exactly? In other words, what exactly do you think the people working ther

I can see the argument that bacteria rule humans due to our microbiome, but how do insects "rule" humans?

Yeah how absurd of me to me to ask for their reasoning. Not absurd at all to bring up another universe... I ignored that silly part of their statement as you should have.
