youngNed··on Show HN: Voice-Pro – AI Voice Cloning
Wind your neck in.

I simply asked "is there anything new in this?" because, i was interested to know if, you know, there was anything new in this.

I'm looking down the comments, but not really seeing much about what this actually is, by my very quick look, it's a front end for f5-tts with a yt-dlp and whisper?

Is there anything new in this?

youngNed··on Show HN: FastGraphRAG – Better RAG using good old PageRank
it would be nice to see an example that uses ollama - given that ollamas embeddings endpoint is a bit... different, I can't quite figure this out

youngNed··on Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week
An englishman, a scotsman and an irishman are marooned on a desert island. Afer a long year one of them finds a lamp, and when cleaning it up a genie appears.

The genie offers them one wish each

The Irishman says 'sure i'd give anything to be back in galway, stuck in a snug, with a pint of porter' and <poof> he's gone.

The scotsman is amazed and roars 'take me back tae glasgae!' and in a similar puff of smoke is gone.

The englishman, looks around and says 'I say, its going to be awfully lonely around here without those chaps around, can you bring them back please?'

Its good, but I was expecting a rotate/zoom

I really like travle.earth: https://travle.earth/challenge/

youngNed··on Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs?
Ooooh, not something i have built, I do want to but suspect someone else has done it better than i could.

A tool to RAG a github repo, so i can ask questions of how a certain library or tool works? Even better if it pulls in issues

youngNed··on 'I should not have written 'A Clockwork Orange''
I knew if I stuck around the Internet long enough I would find someone who agreed with me. Dear lord, Stalker is an awful film.
youngNed··on Do large language models need all those layers?
Because 70% of a big number is a lot more than 70% of a smaller number?

Not being facetious, I don't know the answer, but that's my best guess

youngNed··on Ask HN: What are your thoughts on the new Google Gemini AI?
I put it in vscode, to see if it was better than copilot.

10 minutes in I was literally swearing at it, and I don't remember rage-uninstalling something so fast.

I don't particularly like copilot either, but I can work with it.

Chatgpt, despite me only using it through the Web interface, is so much better than both of these, it's scary.

youngNed··on The Seamless Communication models
There are certainly nuances, even when 'understood'

Google: "A bit sticky, things are pretty sticky down there."

youngNed··on The Fallout from the Weirdness at OpenAI
I can't see why it would conflict with their world view? - they gave 2 very good reasons why someone would want a "trustless programmable currency divorced from the economic levers and dials of world governments "
youngNed··on The Fallout from the Weirdness at OpenAI
This isn't the first person i've heard say something along these lines. usually something decrying the hype in AI. My own feeling is that its mental models: 'we have seen hype before, it was nothing, this is hype, so it must be nothing"

But, to me it reminds me of when the internet took off in the mid to late 90s - people (usually older than me) would decry it as 'the latest fad' and play down the affect that this would have on our everyday life. Before hilariously comparing the internet to 'space invaders' or a 'yo-yo' or something weird that at least gave insight into the fact that they really didn't know what it was they were talking about.

People comparing AI/AGI to NFT's or crypto, are IMHO, as weirdly off-base as those who compared 'the internet' to yo-yo's were back in the day.

youngNed··on Getting Started with Mistral-7b-Instruct-v0.1
Ashu, i am going to guess that english is not your first language, apologies, if that is not the case, but " Tell me how can I run it locally." is not a great way to ask for info, not here at least. A 'please' would certainly help, but a less direct way might be even better.

Anyway, to answer your question: https://ollama.ai/

I still get called 'dick tracey' at my local shop for the time I paid with my phone.

youngNed··on Show HN: I made a ChatGPT UI that looks like Slack
That would be better. If I am honest, the very fact that something like this, has a gihub, and I can see the code (yes, it might not be the same code) makes me more confident about using a hosted service. But yes, I would possibly use this self-hosted.

The potential ability to make plugins for a self-hosted version this is very very interesting.

youngNed··on Show HN: I made a ChatGPT UI that looks like Slack
The problem i have with anything like this is, it is another layer to whom i am giving my data.

I have a relationship with chatGPT like i do with google (search) - the questions that are in there, yes could build a picture of me - i don't want any risk of that being filtered off somewhere else.

youngNed··on Sky Asked Govt. To Target Pirate IPTV Resellers via New Dedicated Police Unit
The per game is through their brand now https://www.nowtv.com/

It is an absoultely brutal experience, and drove me back to streaming.

I bought a game last year, first i couldn't watch it on my computer (linux) next i realised that i had to pay extra for HD.

Paying extra to have sport in HD? Fuck, and i cannot stress this enough, That.

i've never understood why it isn't given out free in pubs - its a pittance to source, and my god, it gives you a thirst. Not to mention it tapping into some kind of trad-pub vibes
youngNed··on Early Europeans ate seaweed for thousands of years
I have only ever eaten it dried, but last time I was in Portstewart I saw someone collecting it fresh, and got talking to him.

It tastes a LOT nicer fresh. But that's not saying a lot, I mean it still tastes like salty rubber.

As for the content below, that it tastes like bacon?? I mean, yeeeeeaaaaaahhh? In the same way that a used condom might taste of bacon?
