With Meet, time from opening the meeting link to joining the meeting is often <1 sec, whereas others (especially Teams) have painfully slow loading screens.

Reddit had a great search engine called PushShift which was maintained and run by one guy. That service doesn't work since their API changes, unfortunately.

I made my own version of this for personal use some time ago, it's a fun project! I use Kagi for the search backend and Colly/ScrapingFish (which has plans starting at $2) for getting the content. Both work really well!

It was around the third time that my laptop overheated itself while "asleep" in my backpack that I decided to return it and get a MacBook.

Cool site, I've never tried Clojure before. My first reaction though is that (+ 1 1) is a highly unconventional and possibly confusing way of writing 1+1, and I'm not sure why that design choice came about.

Have other AI agents test the game in thousands of scenarios. Voice actors are not needed, SOTA TTS systems can synthesize a brand new voice from a description.

If we're just talking about NPCs in a video game, I bet the game studios have the resources to train a very specific LLM optimized for NPCs. Lots of training data could probably be stripped out; after all your average quest-giver in Sk

I have looked around quite a bit but haven't really found anything that strikes the right balance for me of features, cost, effectiveness, etc. I've been sort of building my own system in Go which is already a big improvement on t

Agreed on most points, but do know that options market makers would be hedged on that position so likely didn't lose anything significant. However, by frontrunning the market Pelosi created worse conditions for other investors.

The richest congress members got there through insider trading, like Nancy Pelosi's purchase of NVDA calls right before the American Semiconductor funding was announced. Congress should be paid well - probably more than $174k per year

This explains exactly why physical restaurant menus are so much better vs mobile site menus. If I'm viewing the menu of a restaurant on my phone, I always look in Google Maps for someone who took a picture of the menu, because it'

Up to the point of AGI, most productivity increases have resulted in less physical / menial labor, and more white collar work. If AGI is smarter than most humans, the pendulum will swing the other way, and more humans will have to work

I recently wrote a little document previewer in Fyne. It's a great experience and super easy to build simple GUIs, however Fyne struggled with a few pages of text (slow scrolling and resizing). I'll have to try Gio.

I imagine such a laser could blind an enemy soldier nearly instantly from miles away. Is that against international law?

These are the guidelines for using "OSI", "Open Source Initiative", and the OSI logo. In other words, this is the OSI's definition of their version of open source, but the term "open source" has been aroun

I did see that, though my interpretation is that breathing is included in its voice tokenizer which helps it understand emotions in speech (the AI can generate breath sounds after all). Other sounds, like bird songs or engine noises, may no

However, this looks like it only works with speech - i.e. you can't ask it, "What's the tune I'm humming?" or "Why is my car making this noise?" I could be wrong but I haven't seen any non-speech demo

I really appreciate that the demos were shown live, mistakes and all. This is in stark contrast to Google's Gemini demos that were heavily edited and cherrypicked.

The different voices were incredible! I'm dreaming of the possibilities of an audio-to-audio model for any sort of sound. I want to be able to do things like: "What's the tune I'm humming?" "Why is my car makin

If it can generate enough revenue from Bitcoin mining that it can pay for it's own spare parts / maintenance, then it's truly self-sufficient!

This is great, congrats on open-sourcing. The (now $20/user/mo we've been told) Slack AI is really not all that good in my experience, so it shouldn't be hard for you to do better by just spending a little extra $ in API

AFAIK there's a new law requiring KYC for IaaS providers serving the US. I'm assuming it covers their butts as well regarding malicious activity, they don't want to host a DoS attack, CP site, or similar. You might be hard pr

From watching the demo it looks interesting, but I figure I would get tired of dragging nodes around and looking for ones that I'm interested in. Does it allow searching? It would be more interesting to me if it could use AI as an agen

I worked on a huge backend system that used ULIDs for everything. I liked them slightly better than UUIDs in general, but nobody coming in or using our system knew what ULIDs were, so we constantly had to explain what they were. If we used

A service that gives me a shortcut to great business ideas by just telling me what people are willing to pay for - for starting a business that will save me a lot of time and money not having to come up with and test an idea on my own.

The other day I got a call from my bank, thought it was probably a scam. I hung up and tried calling back but it was a labyrinth of menu options, I gave up. Turned out that the first call was legit and I spent another day playing phone tag
