it's pretty easy to make words that fast once you have the words written, fwiw. mostly breath control and there are things you think you could never do and you'll be doing it after a few times practicing. now writing the lyrics is a bit harder. twista is great
yeah, i kind of stretched the meaning of "real" there, i guess. i just meant software that is designed to accommodate users who are not me, and whom i don't even know.
kokoro is surprisingly great at nuance but it's tough to improve that last ~2% or so. kokoro + rvc is really great too; i use that for ELEMENT47, the LLM-centric comedy podcast i do that i wish more people would listen to. (e47.net , feel free to subscribe!)
yeah, i disagree. i think i am essentially ~non-technical and it is not difficult to build one-user applications at all. it's not even difficult to build "real" software!
ARE we still in the dorks-only phase? i am certainly a gigantic loser, but i am not sure i am the sort of dork being invoked and i have been doing and thinking about the exact same kinda stuff. i think the genie is out of the bottle or whatever
it's true. persuasion is the immoral core of marketing. personally i believe everyone should hate persuasion too but nobody will listen to me when i try to compel them!
fwiw, i built something simple like this into my harness thing (github.com/0gsd/enough). may not be complicated enough to do per application nowadays vs. needing a modularized outside solution, but it is certainly a good idea that seems to work!
I think I probably did 12 whole books before I realized no one else would read them, or that if they did, I would feel guilty. some of them are really good though even knowing they are purely plan-based expression!
i believe you meant something like US$9999 for the 512GB. otherwise, i'm going to feel like QUITE the fool for choosing the 96GB variant at the same price
yeah, on a 96GB Mac Studio and Gemma+Qwen, it's definitely fully doable. fully doable but not really for coding on 16GB. but svelter models and cheaper (eventually) hardware are coming!
it's funny because i made this thing (called enough) that aims to make it easy for non-technical people to get up and running with local models quickly, but it is impossible to figure out how to break through the noise. every thread and comment like this breaks my heart a lil bit
but there is not going to be an inherited and largely non-discardable codebase at every company, right?
and maybe not a team that looks anything like the teams that built and maintain the large codebases that are out there.
the distinction in this article makes all the sense in the world to me, and definitely helps as i try to figure out what term i use to describe my current status as a thing-producer, but part of why i just call myself nothing is it is entirely unclear to me what the new configurations of infra + product vision > actual v0.1.0 launch > new feature development "teamlines" are going to end up looking like.
if i had to guess, one such config might be "the 0.1% of vibe coders who took the HN crickets in response to their projects to figure out how to learn how to do what a product engineering team needs to do end to end to make a self-sustainable product."
(self being that one person, not the product itself)
skills can include python files that do whatever in subfolders. it's actually pretty crazy how much they can do for how blindly a lot of people import them. (i built basically this exact same thing a few months ago)
