opus seems to be miles ahead of any open source local model. My dream is Meta gets Llama on par just in time for Apple to release M5 max chips in a Mac Studio (which should be powerful enough?)

The @npub10ex…f560 transcript “jacking off on the kid.” What @npub1fmx…wp74 actually said, “jacking off on the GitHub.” 😂.
I know there is nothing you can do but just tagging you for the lulz @npub1fjr…v786

we need the open source models to catch up and we need hardware prices to come down before the VC money stops flowing.

the $100/month plan is plenty. I’m a professional software dev and I use it all day every day. Unless you have 10 instances running all day everyday you don’t need the $200 plan.

yes, that’s a real fear. There is something very comforting with my Claude max plan knowing exactly how much I’ll pay each month.

Has anyone here tried https://openrouter.ai/ ?
I want to move away from using 100% Claude code. But I don’t want to only use local LLMs.
I’d like my stack to be
Zed
OpenCode
OpenRouter

no back-end needed. But it will only work with lightning wallets that support NWC. and obviously they need to be online for the app to connect.

I’m working on an iPad app that is a replacement for Helipad that works via NWC. Here’s a sneak peak screenshot:

thank you!

Hey @npub1fmx…wp74 of @npub1rcn…dw4h or anyone who might know.
How do you see the real time boosts while doing a live show?

I hit the burnout phase this week. LLMs are an awesome tool for coding but you have to learn to focus your energy on 1 thing.

for better or worse it seems like Apple is the podcast world source of truth. As long as they remain benevolent that is ok for PI. We’re here for the inevitable day when they stop being a good actor. That’s my 2 cents

I hate that it’s all web sockets.

after hearing how much time you put into this, I am printing it out now to read tonight!

I should probably learn rust.. 👀

If you’re on iOS and have a NWC compatible lighting wallet you can join the beta for Boostz..

well said. This is almost at the point where you can’t have a standalone mobile app. You need a server to handle this logic. Unfortunately I think we’re a long way off from this stuff being something that is easy to build in a mobile app.

thank you! I had no idea this existed. Those fines would have killed me.

What podcast apps are people using on iOS? I’m not trying to be a hater, but the new overcast is just bad. It loses my position in an episode. It’s sad to see. This was always such a great app.

2024-09-03 22:53:38 CEST

A question for the devs out there: https://github.com/SparrowTek/effem-ios/issues/1

2024-08-30 22:58:19 CEST

@npub1rcn…dw4h where would you prefer bug reports for the API? Here? Github? somewhere else?
This returns a 500:
https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/podcasts/trending?cat=Cryptocurrency
Several categories work as expected and others get a 500 response.
Sorry for a late Friday bug report.

I guess I'll have to change the color! 🤣

I never noticed how similar the colors are. Thanks, now I can't unsee it LOL

Hey podcast index people. I'm Thomas. I’m building a native, open source, iOS podcast player, because iOS definitely doesn't have enough of those.
I’m here to chat about podcasting, V4V, and Bitcoin. 👋
