Fixed a nasty bug in one of my tests where a mock in a completely different test I had never worked on was incorrectly setup and intercepting my mocks, I don't think I would have found it ever because the amount of effort it would have taken means I would have needed to move on to some other way to test.

Reverse engineered an old audio recorder USB driver which only works in windows 7 and also reverse engineered the custom audio encoding the device uses and the software to convert it to a standard wav file. This took recording the USB traffic with Wireshark for each function in the original software in a VM then disassembling the various dlls and exes and driver files and feeding them into Clause step by step.

That AI button in DataDog not only diagnosed the problem across micro services but also created a fix PR. I think we might be unemployed soon.

I never read the commit messages always straight to changed files.

Also find doing it like this either incredibly hard or have to do a ton of git magic after I'm done to get commits into this state which is very frustrating.

I think it might be the codebase I work on but who knows.

Yes! I once read a great article I can no longer find that talked about 3 types of PRs. Simple ones that you self approve. Ones that you tag someone because you want to spread the knowledge of what has been done. And ones that need actual review. Everything being reviewed is simply unnecessary and exhausting.

To replace something with the momentum of React both as tech and an industry "standard" you are going to need something which provides an incredible leap forward and is pushed by someone with very deep pockets, its hard to see it happening. The negatives if any of React simply aren't big enough to go for a less popular framework

You are mostly asking the wrong people, the reality for most in here has absolutely nothing to do with your situation, they can hardly comprehend it.

Look at what other people in your community did or ask them. As someone who left a developing country I would say get a degree any degree really and then get a job and some savings, you can then apply to a masters program abroad, a lot of countries this will be free with or without scholarships you might even get a stipend. EU especially.

Some bugs to iron out

"Document Too Long Document is too long to process. It contains 158 chunks, but the maximum is 256. Please try again later or contact support if the problem persists."

This is great, I tried to do a similar thing once but my language is one of those that AI doesnt do well.

I think you can look into muting the original voice in the video, I remember I saw there is some AI/tech that can separate audio into voice and nonvoice.

Yandex browser does this in the browser, you open a YT video and it offers to translate, a few seconds later the voices are all in Russian, it's probably the most interesting production use of AI I have seen and for free. It's to Russian only unfortunately.

Can this do speech to text English -> English? Get strange results if I do a translation to the same language would be an interesting alternative to Whisper if it could.

I had pretty terrible results when I tried English -> Swahili I'm using the Huggingface M4T V2 spaces, it pretty much doesn't work most of the time and I just get English back with a different voice, Expressive on the other hand only has a few languages it seems.

It would be nice if they could layout what exactly is missing in terms of data to make a language work better, while the actual AI bit is out of reach for most of us maybe we could provide more data.

There is also a 60 sec limit and wonder if this is HuggingFace limitation or Seamless?

Ikea Pöang recliner, you know the one. Because you are reclined its difficult to be hunched over but you need to positions your monitors accordingly.
