mrklol··on Generate audiobooks from E-books with Kokoro-82M
How can this support more languages than the model itself?
mrklol··on Amazon tripled prices for the basic tier of their auth service Cognito
SES is imo their top tier service!
mrklol··on Getting Started with FPGAs
Aren’t Tang Nano‘s the best starting point? Really affordable and good tooling.
mrklol··on Zed: SSH Remoting Is Here
Afaik the problem are big file directories, at least that what I noticed.
mrklol··on Adventures in algorithmic trading on the Runescape Grand Exchange
"two cronjobs that interact with the OSRS Wiki API: one that polls it every 5 minutes, and another that polls it every hour"

Why two? Isn’t the latter useless as you have the same information in the current 5m interval?

mrklol··on Yi-Coder: A Small but Mighty LLM for Code
But that’s not that far. Like sure, currently it’s not. But "reading a ticket with a description, find the relevant code, understand the code (often better than human), test it, return the result" is totally doable with some more iterations. It’s already doable for smaller projects, see GitHub workspaces etc.
mrklol··on DuckDuckGo for Mac is now open source
Actually it’s called Google Search.
mrklol··on Linus Torvalds talks AI, Rust, & why Linux is the only thing that matters
You’re correct - was just something which is stopping people to try the language. And with that you implicate less users, less matured toolkit etc.
mrklol··on Linus Torvalds talks AI, Rust, & why Linux is the only thing that matters
Like stated, zig isn’t stable yet. And in general the kit isn’t on a good level yet to replace C in Linux.

And, there’s still no good and fast allocator:

mrklol··on Show HN: Simple Science – The Newest Science Explained Simply
That’s kinda also the case for every summary you’re reading - or news article. In theory you can never be sure that the author understood everything from the paper and summarised it correctly.
mrklol··on No Uptime Hosting (2006)
The link behind "Click here for English" is a good one, I have to remember that. Good idea.
mrklol··on Amiga Minimig Ported to Tang Nano 20k FPGA
Definitely don’t buy a 100+ bucks device if you’re new and just want to figure out if it’s something for you. The difference (especially for hobbyists) isn’t a problem.

Tang nano‘s are quite cheap and really good for beginners. Totally depends on where you live but usually they go for around $10 and even less.

mrklol··on Ilya Sutskever to leave OpenAI
They definitely need them to find new approaches which you won’t find normally.
mrklol··on GPT-4o
Where you get something cheaper with similar experience?
mrklol··on Show HN: PostgreSQL index advisor
OR is indeed not bad, but you have to think about when to use it. It can easily make queries slower compared to other operators. That’s exactly why we have the terms "ugly OR" / "bad OR".
mrklol··on Dissent – A GTK4 Discord client written in Go
I mean that’s kinda the same as the linked project Dissent - they also use a user account. That’s why I thought about it that way.
mrklol··on Dissent – A GTK4 Discord client written in Go
I know about the bot api, but I want to use that as a user account.
mrklol··on Dissent – A GTK4 Discord client written in Go
I simply wanted to write a user bot which reads messages from a channel (to write them to another messenger). After reading tos it seems to be a reason to get a ban, but did this ever happen for simply reading? I bet this stuff only triggers on actions.
mrklol··on Cranelift code generation comes to Rust
There are still projects out there which won’t hit 20% or even some %, if the bottleneck isn’t code gen (for example). So the part with"all" can be wrong, but beside that 20% is a good number.
mrklol··on Testcontainers
I am using https://github.com/ory/dockertest for tests, specifically for databases. Is there any advantage to use Testcontainers?
mrklol··on From Go to Rust: The Two Types of Readable Code
Why? It’s quite straightforward
mrklol··on How I write HTTP services in Go after 13 years
Why? You can easily call NewUsername inside NewAccount for example, just return the error. Or did I misunderstood?
mrklol··on Plane got to top spot in project management on GitHub in less than a year
I always go with discord in newer projects. Why? I feel like most people have discord nowadays and it just works (TM). I rarely have a case where a person said that they can’t join because they don’t have discord or don’t want to create an account because other reasons.

Beside that, money is also a big factor. Slack for example is getting more expensive for communities.

mrklol··on Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
I mean, it depends on the features. Browsers have bookmarks, basic bookmarks.

Now there are bookmark tools which are archiving a page for example, have full text search. And you can add more and more features, it’s an endless game - that’s why we have that many bookmarking tools. Everybody has different priorities and needs different things.

mrklol··on FPGA Dev Boards for $150 or Less
That’s the one I know too, thought that’s the way to go.
mrklol··on MMO Architecture: clients, sockets, threads and connection-oriented servers
What about this project here? https://github.com/jeanbmar/black-moon-rewind Is this far behind?
mrklol··on Just paying Figma because nothing else works
So the latter would be the best, correct? Isn’t it worse without text selection if a user wants to copy?
mrklol··on Spacedrive: Unify files from all your devices and clouds into one explorer
In my opinion this happens because people start projects as a side project, then they get attention and need more and more time. So either you somehow invest more time (work less on your normal job) or get more contributors/ a team. The first option is happening more often, so you need income to replace your normal job where we mostly end with your described situation.
mrklol··on Data Processing benchmark featuring Rust, Go, Swift, Zig, Julia etc.
They sadly switched from including json time to excluding it… :(
mrklol··on How to build a IP geolocation database from scratch?
You could also just return a json with lat and lon as fields so nobody is getting confused. {lat:5, lon:7}
