- ks2048If you're interested in the ancient Maya, El Salvador doesn't come close to Guatemala or Mexico (followed by Belize and Honduras). These are also wonderful places to visit, IMHO.
- I recently discovered Audacity includes plug-ins for audio separation that work great (e.g. split into vocals track and instruments track). The model it uses also originated at Facebook (demucs).
- That would be a big zip file, but would not take a long time to unzip.
- Also the order in Unicode. 1072 chars. (based on Gardiner's list),
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Hieroglyphs_(Unicode_...
- I don't think you can separate String from Unicode - that's what a "String" is in Swift.
- I think using "extended grapheme clusters" (EGC) (rather than code points or bytes) is a good idea. But, why not let you do "x[:2]" (or "x[0..<2]") for s String with the first two EGCs? (maybe better yet - make that return "String?")
- I just saw a tweet saying his birth was closer to the death of Thomas Jefferson (1826) than it is to today. Wow.
- Silly. Don't waste your time on problems other people have already solved! Use JS and "npm install odd_or_even".
- Almost all these points apply ride hailing with or without driver-less.
How do Waymo prices compare to Uber where Waymo exists?
- The examples he showed, I didn’t mind. From the title, I thought he might be referring to the emojis in READMEs. Those annoy me and don’t add anything. (I assume all vibe-coded)
- Salute to this guy, Xu Qinxian.
Funny how (possibly worse) anti-democratic massacres done by US allies (and much more recently) don't get continuous coverage US/Western/Business/Tech press.
- "death" can be pretty slow - IBM has $60B in revenue and 270K employees.
- I wonder how many other "Pompeii of ___" exist. I also know of the "Pompeii of Central America" (Joya de Cerén in El Salvador).
- Just because a phrase appears, doesn't lead to what you said. "UNESCO" appears once, but no where says UN people "are being brought in to administer it".
- Did you read the article?
- > Why pay $30/seat/month for over bundled SaaS when soon even nontech ops ppl can vibe-code a custom solution in a weekend?
Seems ironic to post that - doesn't that same logic imply that most YC companies are worthless?
- Minor point - but I think Grokipedia's design looks much worse than Wikipedia. I can't put my finger on it, but maybe because Grokipedia's main text is too narrow (I'm on a laptop). (I may be biased by loving Wikipedia though).
- > Our work was heavily inspired by KyutaiTTS and Sesame
I wish they’d describe the technical details of the differences between this and other TTS they were “inspired by”.
So many projects like this, I will just have to assume they are vibe-coded clones to get some publicity unless there’s more technical details.
