Agreed, no amount of system/user prompt directives change the fact that the LLM has already been trained on copyrighted code. It's amazing how many people fail to grasp that. This is the "Don't think of a pink elephant&

The latest build of Handy actually supports Parakeet V3 (among other models) under the covers. Agreed that it's a very solid multilingual model. https://github.com/cjpais/Handy

Nice job. Feedback: 1. If latency is the biggest draw, I would think a native Swift app on macOS or a C++ app on Windows would be preferable. I don't see how you're going to get around the inherent latency of high-level JavaScript

Nice site! Submitted my game: Common Thread. It’s based on an old game my siblings and I used to play to pass the time on long car rides. One person thinks of three words, and the other person has to guess a single word that connects all th

Nice job! > The mechanism seems to be melody acting as a retrieval cue. My concern is that one of the significant reasons that the melody aids as a retrieval cue is because that motif is familiar to you. Take for example the Latin Am

VS Code (or rather VSCodium in my case) is also electron based but it's been relatively snappy in my experience - though I don't use a lot of third party plugins.

Nice job. Small bit of feedback but I found myself being able to "sail" on the land particularly smaller islands.

Very cool. Side note, but I've always thought that a combination of a pixel art editor like Aseprite coupled "cellular sand sim" would be really cool.

As always - it depends on the kind of ostensible "serious work" you do. I've got 32GB and often work with legacy .NET Winform/WPF applications on a Macbook. That means spinning up a Windows 11 ARM distro virtual machine

Is Slack that much worse of a memory hog than Discord? Aren’t they both built on electron?

The best laptop that I ever had was an Thinkpad T530 back in ~2012 - that chunky brick felt like it was made from recycled soviet tanks. Modular as hell - trivial to swap out batteries, cd-rom bay with an extra SSD, RAM upgrades, keyboard i

It kind of depends on what you build. Shah Kur is a chess trainer that lets you set novel types of invisibility to help teach you to learn to play blindfold chess (without a board). It's got VAD + voice recognition (can use on your p

Everything I build is free (no ads, no premium subscriptions). A lot of what I create is educational, so if it helps people, that's reward enough. To keep costs down, I manage my own VPS and limit myself to projects that can run 100% c

Same. Been rocking Sonoma on my M1 Mac for years at this point and it’s been great. There’s been almost zero upsides to upgrading MacOS versions lately.

This is how I understood the original decision a while back - that there had to be some additional element of human involvement post-"gen", though to what extent is still a bit unclear to me. What's the threshold? Can the per

Exactly. Instead of buying something like an Elgato Deck, you can repurpose (or buy really cheap) midi keyboards/controllers and map them through a Midi->Script translators and achieve the same result.

Shameless plug - and nothing so grandiose as SimCity but I built a pretty substantial 2D/3D blindfold trainer chess game. It's by no means "vibe coded" though, and there's a fair bit of manual work around the 3d m

Pick an engine that's been around for a long time like Love2D or PhaserJS as they'll almost assuredly be in the training data of any substantial LLM. https://github.com/phaserjs/phaser https://en.w

Same. In the past I've mapped cheap midi controllers with endless encoders over to act as a "scrubbers" when doing video editing.

Yeah, DLL hell... ugh. I have fond memories of Visual Basic. I still think it was one of the best tools for RAD (Rapid Application Development), you can definitely tell that .NET with WinForms borrowed heavily from it. At one point, I remem

Nice job. Feels like there's a bit of misunderstanding of what this project is. It has nothing to do with audio - it's purely a means of mapping MIDI to shell commands. There was (still is) a very popular program called BOME Midi

Glad you're liking Kokoro! I have a similar setup - I let it spin in the background on some various RSS news feeds that I can listen to while I go walking. If you don't need voice cloning support it's one of the best locally

There's a number of ways to do it. Some of them will let you create a override table that uses the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). In the past, when I used the local KokoroTTS model, I did something a bit more primitive for long

Why should you learn to play the piano even though records of far greater virtuosos than you exist? A "thing" has value outside of its monetary commoditization. And if you really need a reason, there's growing evidence that

Thanks. So I have a bespoke python program that basically does this: - Takes the platonic set of prompts - Uses model specific tuning directives with LLMs to create a bunch of prompt variations so that they get a diverse set of natural lang
