The submission link is weird. It has far fewer stars than the repo it is forked from, and could just be an ad for replicate.com?

It is missing the most recent commits from what appears to be the real source: https://github.com/Vaibhavs10/insanely-fast-whisper

The only added commit is adding a replicate.com example, whatever that means.

View on HN

Founder of Replicate here. We open pull requests on models[0] to get them running on Replicate so people can try out a demo of the model and run them with an API. They're also packaged with Cog[1] so you can run them as a Docker image.

Somebody happened to stumble across our fork of the model and submitted it. We didn't submit it nor intend for it to be an ad. I hope the submission gets replaced with the upstream repo so the author gets full credit. :)

I'm curious, How did you know about this thread here? I've seen this happen where a blog or site is mentioned and the author shows up. It's there software to monitor when you're mentioned on HN or did you just happen to browse it?

You might find https://syften.com/ interesting. I use it for monitoring Reddit and all kinds of communities for mentions of my name and the titles of my books.

I read Hacker News a lot...

Ok, we've changed to that from https://github.com/chenxwh/insanely-fast-whisper. Thanks!
