Spot on. Honestly that construction story was infuriating, he was the problem the entire time and probably shouldn’t be giving relationship advice. There’s no such thing as a “perfectionist” in the first place since what qualifies as “perfect” is a subjective point of view.

Anybody, and I mean anybody, can point out little things that are wrong in something. Especially in construction, by people that have never done it themselves but holds financial power. Also, I guarantee all the slight changes he thought were critical enough to warrant constant intervention actually weren’t, or could’ve been addressed later. The cost would have been significantly higher if the contractor factored in the time it took to satisfy him. He was getting what he paid for.

I mean, that table certainly doesn’t sell it.

Good to know, thank you.

I've never seen this one before. It has several features I've been looking for. Has it been working well for your organization?

Very cool. I use a custom local UI as well, based on a fork of a similar project called ChatPad (https://github.com/deiucanta/chatpad). That also uses Mantine UI, and lets you create and save prompts just like chats. Data is stored locally using indexdb. I embedded it in an electron app, which lets me run it from my dock rather than a terminal. But what's missing is speech-to-text, so it's great to see this project has that.

There are a few drawbacks to local, I've discovered. For example I doubt the new plugins can be extended to beyond ChatGPT's web UI. Also, it doesn't stream response tokens as they're generated, which is a pain. I haven't looked into whether OpenAPI let you do that though.

Nice work!

To clarify, here's the demo URL I'm referring to: https://demo.vocode.dev/

You're right sampling rate doesn't change speed, whoops. But on that page you have to change / set the "Set Output Sampling Rate" to slow down the default voice speed.

Congrats on the launch! Just got the demo React app up and running, very cool. I've wanted to interact with an LLM via real time speech for a while now, this will be perfect.

Important feedback on the live demo page: Make the default output sampling rate a normal talking speed. Right now it defaults to the highest rate if you don't set it / know which rate is best. First thing I did on the page was click the mic. The voice was too fast, and since the active mic disables the settings, I thought I couldn't change them so it might be broken. Also you want to make it clear that you can change the settings by turning off the mic. That took me a while to figure out.

Again, well done!

I share much of your sentiment and find it surprising how difficult it’s been to discuss the matter and find developers willing to have a serious discussion about it. There are serious market forces at play here that will impact all of us. I don’t have time right now to write an adequate response, but will do so soon and appreciate reading a post like yours.
