dygd··on Local, CPU-Friendly, High-Quality TTS (Text-to-Speech) with Kokoro
Yep, and Kokoro-FastAPI (which he already uses) makes it super easy with start-gpu_mac.sh
dygd··on Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years
It feels different this time. I bet there will be a generation of PC enthusiasts that are going to remember Crucial exiting the consumer market to chase AI dollars. And similar, when they hear Micron/Samsung/Sk Hynix, they'd be wary of the price gouging. Gamer's Nexus is doing really good job exposing the DRAM cartel.

dygd··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing Open-Source Coding
> Agent Swarms, Elevated: Match 100 Jobs and Generate 100 Tailored Resumes

Model seems quite capable, but this use-case is just yikes. As if interviewing isn't already a hellscape.

dygd··on Thoughts and feelings around Claude Design
It may look like a crappy Electron app, but Figma has a quite interesting architecture. The browser editor is developed in C++ and cross-compiled to JavaScript with emscripten. The rendering engine looks like its handling HTML, but it's actually rendering their own document format for cross-browser consistency. They have their own CRDT implementation to handle multi-user edits.

dygd··on Reaffirming our commitment to child safety in the face of EuropeanUnion inaction
> This is not just a matter of law, but of protecting children.

They didn't even write this themselves.

dygd··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
> So why should anyone care if some person on the internet says these are war crimes?

Attacking civilian infrastructure is defined as a war crime by the Geneva Conventions. It's not something a person on the internet made up.

dygd··on Local Stack Archived their GitHub repo and requires an account to run
Doesn't look like it's using their code. LocalStack is Python, while floci is using Java.
dygd··on CBP tapped into the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples’ movements
> Each SDK might be tattling on you, but unless you give them a key to match you across apps, each signal from each app is unique

You'd be surprised what can be done when data from different source is fused together.

dygd··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
> i do think sometimes war can be a net positive for civilians

Spoken from the comfort of your cozy apartment, with the AC on, light music in the background and a drink in your hand.

dygd··on Writing code is cheap now
I do the same, plus add tests from early on. New features then naturally are accompanied by more tests.
dygd··on CXMT has been offering DDR4 chips at about half the prevailing market rate
> It is wise for these Chinese fabs to eventually use a very aggressive dumping strategy to price well below cost push out other players forever, especially in DRAM.

Crucial's departure from the consumer market left such a gaping hole, that CXMT doesn't even need to push other players out to gain a footing.

dygd··on Tesla changes meaning of 'Full Self-Driving', gives up on promise of autonomy
Teslas use automotive Ethernet for sensor data which has much more bandwidth compared to CAN bus
dygd··on You Have to Feel It
From my experience it consists of Excel spreadsheets. What I mean is that when a wave of layoffs hits, there's no humanity to it, you're just above or below a line.
dygd··on Optimizing my sleep around Claude usage limits
Indeed. Imagine organizing your life around a $20/month subscription.

dygd··on Full Text Search of US Court records
Was curious too and checked the API docs - it's Elasticsearch. The docs even show the index mapping. https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/26019452/2s93Y5PKmb#d...

dygd··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Very much so. Trump even said it, "This is good TV". What an embarrassment.
dygd··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Clearly not the best possible outcome. But what happened today cleared up any notion of the current US administration being an "ally". Seems like a defining moment and Europe will have to do a whole lot of think on how to move forward.

dygd··on Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance
Compared to plugin like Sourcegraph Cody with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Jetbrain's is still atrocious.
