Re:FFmpeg 8.0 adds Whisper support on Wednesday August 13, 2025 @02:55PM (#44892352)
Aww, I literally just implemented this using whisper.cpp and ffmpeg lib, code is even similar...

    consistently 1-shots entire tickets
Uhh no? First of that's a huge exaggeration even on human coders, second, I think for this to be true your project is probably a blog.
Same question people have with hinting, what makes Python cool is how loose it is... You could also make a lint rule for that and make fail CI if that rule failed, or... Write your own compiler you know?
Thanks I'll give it a shot! 0.85/month is CHEAP!
Oh man I actually use it to get a US phone number... What's a better alternative for this? I like skype cause you can request a new one every time you wanted.

  Work in Progress
  
  Emulator Support (Plugin) and Ray Tracing (RT) are not available in this repository yet.

Not here, here we lick the boot of sama to get crumbs for our startups ;-)
You could build the same thing in Rust and have the same exact issue.
Re:GitHub Copilot is now available for free on Thursday December 19, 2024 @10:13AM (#42462166)
I have a toggle to enable it back when needed, I found this is way better, for me, to stay focused and make less errors.

But I do enable it, for example when I'm coding in a language or project I'm not used to, I'd say I use like 20% of my coding time, but that 20% is useful, it's when google doesn't work for me either...

Re:GitHub Copilot is now available for free on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @04:03PM (#42455154)
I think this is a bad move... I immediately switched, 2000 completions for me (I have it disabled by default on Neovim) is enough, and 50 chats, more than enough I didn't even know they had chat like ChatGPT.
Sure... You just wanted to add your own clickbait because AI is popular, ironic huh?

I'm not sure if I'd call RAG an "advanced technique"...
Re:We're forking Flutter on Monday October 28, 2024 @04:22PM (#41975774)
We got around 3m with seven guys, so yeah, and we don't even have on-call rotation / schedule, even though emergencies do happen from time to time. They think 1:1000 ratio is too big as well? That's crazy.
Re:OpenAI is shockingly good at unminifying code on Thursday August 29, 2024 @11:13AM (#41391634)
This is something you don't need AI for, there are many decompilers out there already as well.

AI cannot even lint properly right now and you want it to decompile? good luck, there's too much hype going on people really think this is possible this year?

In the end always remember it's just autocomplete, it's pretty terrible at translations that are not natural language to natural language. I worked on a natural language to SQL and it was impossible to make it consistently generate valid SQL for Postgres, and I'm talking about natural language to SQL not virtual machine instructions...

We use it a work, didn't know you guys were fresh in the biz, our dev ops guy switched us to you guys, I had no problem, I love that it uses wireguard, our previous provider was a PITA :)
Re:Eza: A modern, maintained replacement for ls on Monday July 22, 2024 @01:07PM (#41036730)
Yeah this makes it better, but I've found some sites that don't do that, blogs and news articles where it's impossible to find the date of published... Is it a SEO trick to make your content always relevant?
Re:Zed on Linux Is Here on Wednesday July 10, 2024 @01:36PM (#40929304)
It's on NixOS and Arch I'm sure you just wait a little to get it on your Distro... I don't think they have bad intentions.
Re:Zed on Linux Is Here on Wednesday July 10, 2024 @01:33PM (#40929282)
I hope it gets packaged, on NixOS there's a package already on stable and unstable.
Re:Python Has Too Many Package Managers on Monday July 08, 2024 @02:04PM (#40907695)
Someone from Rust talking about these tools being slow... That's rich.
Re:Python Modern Practices on Tuesday July 02, 2024 @07:34PM (#40861475)
As far as I know you're right, also using pyproject.toml generates platform independent dependency trees (I don't have experience with the tools he mentions but that's what poetry does), requirements.txt does not and must be generated on a server or carefully picking the crossplatform version of the packages.

Also kinda weird he says to not use pip, but requirements.txt are pip commands... And should be running with pip... Hmm I don't know about this article anymore.

Re:AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS on Thursday June 06, 2024 @02:11PM (#40600558)
This looks so awesome I gonna dust off my mac mini.

As a tiling wm user (Hyprland now) I always wonder how OSX users claim they're that productive with all those alt+tabbin' I meant cmd+tabbin'. Welcome to the 2010s guys!

Re:Show HN: ChatGPT UI for Rabbit Holes on Thursday May 30, 2024 @03:40PM (#40527792)
This UI is fantastic! Was the name "delve" AI generated? I just cannot believe a human uses that word...
I've seen this lately... very cringe.

Switched to this immediately, great HN tv too hah
It's kinda the standard procedure of securing your machine's ssh, I'd recommend trying to setup a bare repo and put it online so you see how easy it is to make it work, that's not Github but it's more than enough for your org, in fact before Github was created that's how we did it, it doesn't really take more than 1 afternoon to set it up, multi-user and all the other jazz.

But Github and Bitbucket aren't examples to compare Diversion to though, Github is just a node in the decentralized network of Git repos (your users, or whoever cloned). They even use an example of this feature, how they were able to recover after a mess-up, then with SVN that couldn't be done and they'd have really lose more than a month of work.

There's one of the reasons why Git was created, to make it easier to resolve conflicts, if you just want a main / children branches structure in one server then use SVN / Diversion but then don't complain when you have a branch "locked" and you cannot get your job done.

Diversion makes 100% sense if you follow the silly "one repo for the whole org" way big companies do, which still doesn't make any sense to me.

This comment is harsh, but the reality.
Taking a decentralized application like Git back to centralization is a step in the wrong direction, it's exactly why Git was created.

This is still the case for example GNU Awk vs OSX (BSD?) awk
