shazron··on CorentinJ: Real-Time Voice Cloning (2021)
Try Modelscope.
shazron··on Launch HN: Issen (YC F24) – Personal AI language tutor
The beginner experience (like others mentioned) is not there, at all. It's as if I was dropped into a foreign country, and forced to talk. Sure, I'm going to flail around, and maybe get frustrated, and maybe with some hand gestures get my point across in real life.

But this is not real life - I tried to "flag" the tutor with sentences that I don't understand, and I am way over my head, and it just chugs along, with long sentences, totally unaware.

The service should not advertise itself as having a beginner level at all, in my opinion.

shazron··on Render: a Zero DevOps Cloud Platform
I use Caprover https://caprover.com/ and a DigitalOcean droplet to have my own toy PaaS for experiments that can run almost everything. They have 1-click install apps, and for apps that they don't have, as long as you have a Docker image you can run it
shazron··on Don't allow animated favicons (2001)
Quoting Apple engineer Brady Eidson: "We (Apple) intentionally do not want the ability to script favicons."

shazron··on Ask HN: What's been the best usage for QR code apart from restaurants menus?
Go to Asia and you can see QR codes everywhere. Payments mostly, but in Singapore you will find it also for checking in and out of places for COVID-19 contact tracing and everyone uses it (although now Bluetooth/ tap your phone is taking over).

I use it for guests wanting my wifi - just scan this QR and you’re in without much fuss.

shazron··on Transmit for iOS
Transmit on the Mac is updated. I doubt they don't care -- this is more likely a problem of limited resources.
