   Why not just simulate a real shuffle? Just "cut" in a random location (rotate the deck a random amount), then split the deck roughly in half (add a bit of random variation), then "flip them together" back to front by alt

   There's information there, though, you're just not privy to it (short of radical candor, which I would prefer), so what you're really saying is that there's no information in a rejection for you .

    100%. Similar to how TDD forces you to first figure out the API of your code due to the test code being its first client.

    I love Elixir but you cannot compile it into a single binary, it is massively concurrent but single-threaded slow, and deployment is still nontrivial. And lists are slower than arrays, even if they provide functional guarantees (everything

    I too have an odd obsession with keeping everything in 1 file. I recently (as an experiment) exclusively vibe-coded an Asteroids clone (with a couple of nifty additions), all in a single HTML file, including a unit test suite, which also wo

    Does it do speaker diarization? That's the one thing that I wish Whisper did out of the box. (I know WhisperX exists, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.) EDIT: Ah, I see this was already answered.
