Is this just a wrapper around the Microsoft project released a few days ago?

adroitboss commented on Ask HN: Recommendation for a SWE looking to get up to speed with latest on AI · Posted by u/Rizu
The best place for the latest information isn't tech blogs in my opinion. It's the stable diffusion and local llama subreddits. If you are looking to learn about everything on a fundamental level you need to check out Andrej Karpathy on YouTube. There other some other notable mentions in other people's comments.
I don't think quite the same kind of tech, but this kinda reminds me of the "3D" pixel art sprite editor thing in Smack Studio
I was just about to post the same link. It is really cool tech and Smack Studio is when I first fell in love with the concept. What Adobe has is cool, but I've seen it already.

I’m really interested in this model where each application server has a copy of a SQLite database file which is then replaced on a scheduled basis.
Here it’s being used for web application firewall rules.
Another place I’ve thought about using this is feature flag configuration. Feature flags can be checked dozens of times per request and often need the kind of queries (user is a member of group A and has an IP located in country B) which could be well served by a local SQLite - and feature flags have a tolerance for updates taking a few seconds (or longer) to roll out.
You may want to check out LiteFS and LiteStream by benbjohnson. There was a time in 2022 where he was trending every week for his projects. The following snippet is taken from the LiteFS webpage. "LiteFS is a distributed file system that transparently replicates SQLite databases. You can run your application like it’s running against a local on-disk SQLite database but behind the scenes the database is replicated to all the nodes in your cluster."

This is so freaking cool! I was mesmerized watching the paddles move as the beat progressed. There are certain things that just look right which makes it beautiful.This project is one of them!
Thanks
I remember seeing you debate Jason Calacanis from the all in podcast on this week in startups on this exact topic. You are probably one of the most confident, well spoken people I have ever heard on a podcast. You also don't derive your comfort from the people around you, so you didn't feel the need to laugh away awkward moments. It's a great watch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5hUT8VZNvm8&t=3488s&pp=ygUhVGh...
adroitboss commented on FCC rules AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal fcc.gov/document/fcc-make... · Posted by u/ortusdux
I don't see why AI voices should be completely illegal in calls. Where I live businesses are required to disclose that a call is being recorded. I see no issue if they're also required to disclose that the voice I hear is AI driven.
That being said, robocalls are bs in general. What I'm saying is not an excuse for robocalls.
I don't know left from up in this situation, but I was under the impression outgoing calls are illegal, not inbound calls.

"Or hey, even more amusingly, a killer app could be something B2B, like enabling remote robotic work, where the worker’s commands get recorded and become training data for autonomous robotic systems. This is the core premise of my short story on AI, which I can now plug here. woohoo!"
I actually thought this is where the next big AI company would come from. A gaming company that created a game that also had a business use case. They would use the data from that game to train ML models that were capable of doing work. If someone were able crowd source some AI robot training through gaming, they would be paid by consumers and by businesses. Kind of like how captcha digitized books in the backend.

This looks great! I need to look into it. For a little while I have used a combination of a KVM Switch and Mouse without Bordershttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=354... to switch between my computer and the laptop I have on my desk. It would be great to have a local-only option. The application would need to copy the contents of my clipboard from one computer to the next, a feature I don't think I can live without.
I wonder if we're at a point where you could build a voice assistant like that, except almost-realtime and streamed end to end:
User speaks and speech to text starts streaming text while the user is still speaking. That text stream is piped into a LLM, which also streams its output text. That output text is streamed to text-to-speech, which also generates audio in a streaming manner.
This has happened already. It was maybe about 7 months ago and I believe it was a twitter link posted here. They took it further and streamed it to twilio to create a live phone call.
