I've made this little wrapper to do all that locally. `makesub video.mp4` will split the stream and create video.en.srt locally via whisper.cpp

I made a small wrapper too, you call it from the command line and it keeps the conversation context for 15 minutes in a temp file.

I’ve done something similar here https://github.com/mcdallas/summarize it feeds an audio file to whisper and then summarizes the transcript. You can easily wrap it with yt-dlp to download the audio portion of a video

there needs to be a way to distinguish between a user enjoying a song and the user not paying attention

There is a way to do this, the signal is adding the song to your favourites or a playlist

Whatsapp messages are e2e encrypted so no.

They didn't train a classifier, just a hashing function.

I’ve made something similar in order to learn how everything works and made it into a python library. Everything is in pure python with no dependencies, only std lib. I’ve implemented all the crypto stuff, address generation including HD, transaction serialization and even the bitcoin script. https://github.com/mcdallas/cryptotools

Yes it is backed because when they print a new tether they sell it for 1$ which they put it in their treasury.

Of course HN in it’s infinite wisdom can’t get the causal connection between BTC rising and tether printing right.

Tether is being printed because btc is pumping. They have to print tether to maintain the peg at 1$. If the price keeps rising due to demand for tether they need to print and sell tether.

It does not matter if you can redeem your tethers for dollars because they buy tether when the price goes below 1$ to maintain the peg.

Didn't think much of the content but I am impressed he managed to get the julian.com domain and the @julian twitter handle. I would assume that it's a pretty common name.

Excuse my ignorance but how does someone else signing my message prove that I sent the message? Moreso if the body of the message is not being signed at all?

I've done that a few months ago on an ubiquity router. Two VLANs, one with normal access and one with a Wireguard tunnel into my self hosted dropplet that also runs pihole. Works like a charm.

I see a lot of nice recommendation for note taking apps, but for me the 2 biggest features that I need are

1. No vendor lock in. I can’t lose access to my notes because of random account bans or the company going under or w/e. Also plain markdown, no nonsense proprietary formats.

2. Platform independence, I work across mac/windows/ios on home and work.

So I ended up using a git repo with markdown files. I use Noteable and Typora on mac/win. No need to import/export anything they both work with plain markdown files on the fs with tags as markdown front matter (I sync manually with git). For mobile I use GitJournal which basically has the same features and it can automatically sync with a git repo.

It uses the ARM architecture which is much more power efficient than the x86 architecture used by intel

If you are looking to spin up your own vpn server with wireguard and pihole there is an excellent guide here https://drexl.me/guides/wireguard-pihole-vpn-setup.html

If you want your mind to blow up I recommend watching this year's "Lambda Calculus from the Ground Up" PyCon talk by the wizard David Beazley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCLMl0e_0k

I am an amateur photographer that mostly shoots long exposures (milky way/catching lightning/night time time-lapses) and you can only shoot those with manual (or bulb) mode

From a machine learning model’s perspective they are both turn based. In SC2/Dota case one turn is one frame. There is nothing fundamentally different between these and blind chess apart from the possible moves space being vastly smaller

Grin (mimblewimble) is also written in Rust https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin

The choice of consensus algorithm (PoW/PoS) has nothing to do with scalability (tx/s)

But then you carry a balance
