For the long videos I just relied in ffmpeg to remove silence. It has lots of options for it, but you may need to fiddle with the parameters to make it work. I ended up with something like: ``` stream = ffmpeg.filter( stre

I've built something similar before for my own use cases and one thing I'd push back on are official subtitles. Basically no video I care about has ever had "official" subtitles and the auto generated subtitles are signi

You can also reach research parity by downloading a Github repository. Is that impressive too?

I hope the EditorBird added subtitles.

Looks crazy but this isn't really anything new. Before AI these people became obsessed with fictional characters from romantic novels, movies, or videogames and treated them as their partners and fantasized about them. Now it's mo

The funny thing is that I find HN especially useful for non tech news. It's highly biased for tech news, but only the most important normal news make it to the front page, so it's a great filter.

TLDR; If you give the agent an access token that has permissions to access private repos it can use it to... access private repos!?

That's because the reality is somewhere in the middle. It obviously isn't 100x or even 10x except for very specific toy tasks, but for me it's probably around ~1.5-2x in everyday work. And I work on mostly long-tail scientifi

Just anecdotal experience, but this model seems more eager to write tests, create test scripts and call various tools than the previous one. Of course this results in more roundtrips and overall more tokens used and more money for the provi

I come from a more traditional (PhD) ML/DL background. I wouldn't recommend getting into (1) because the field is incredibly saturated. We have hundreds of new, mostly low quality, papers each day. If you want to get into AI&#x2

I use LLMs to check solutions for graduate level math and physics problem I'm working on. Can I 100% trust their final output? Of course not, but I know enough about the domain to tell whether they discovered mistakes in my solutions o

I think "sold" probably doesn't mean what you think it means here. Have you looked at the projects? Nearly all of them are just statics lists of things. Like "a list of all country flags" or "a list of modern i

If you don't know how to ask a human doctor a good question you can't expect to get a good answer either. The difference is that a human doctor probably has a lot of context about you and the situation you're in, so that they

I think you are bringing up an interesting discussion of curation vs. word of mouth. Where exactly do you draw the line? Players counts kept increasing because a people came across the game on social media - upvoted reddit posts, high numbe

To be fair, do you believe a human would do better? If you hired someone to create content for your cheese website they would probably do the same thing. They'd search google and copy statistics without triple-checking all of them. I d

Article quality has IMO gone down considerably in the last 2-3 years ever since LLMs became a thing. Probably not because LLM articles are upvoted by humans, but more likely because it's much easier to create and manage realistic bot f

IMO the more interesting question is why low-quality stuff like this keeps getting upvoted here. Feels like any submission that has AI in it automatically gets to the front page no matter the quality. Sad state of HN. I just can't imag

In my experience, AI is good at building stuff in two scenarios: - You have zero engineering background and you use an LLM to build an MVP from scratch. As long as the MVP is sufficiently simple there is plenty of training data for LLM to d

Crypto market cap is trillions of dollars, and how many crypto posts do you see these days? Not really a strong argument.

I couldn't agree more. Neither LLMs or search engines yield reliable answers due to the ML model and misaligned incentives respectively. Combining the two is a shortsighted solution that doesn't fix anything on a fundamental level

If you are optimizing for finding geniuses like R, you may be right. Many probably fall through the cracks of the educational system. But I don't think this is what we are or should be optimizing for. The vast majority of people would

Agree and I would add, 4. Skimming HN is useful in text-format because you can go deeper on something that catches your eye by following the link. The podcast format removes this because you can't click on something you hear and dive d

I don't think the heuristics are that different. SEO-spam and BS content existed before, and both Google and YT were full of them, all made by human "content creators" who optimized for clicks and focused on gaming the YT rec

Except that none of the fundamental limitations have changed for many years now. That was a few thousand papers ago. I'm not saying that none of the LLM stuff it's useful, it is, and many useful applications are likely undiscovere
