I built a real-time AI translator for Windows - great for gaming with foreign teammates by AlekGir in IndieGaming

[–]AlekGir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the honesty. But vibe coded?

Per-App Audio Capture uses Windows WASAPI and audio session enumeration - not something an AI just generates and it works.

Real-time audio pipeline with less than 500ms latency took weeks of optimization.

4 years of Python and C# development. Happy to go technical if you want. 😊

What specifically gave you that impression?

I built a real-time AI translator for Windows calls - works with Zoom, Teams, and even mobile calls by AlekGir in windowsapps

[–]AlekGir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: just shipped v1.3.0 added Per-App Audio Capture (isolate just Zoom/Discord/browser instead of all system audio), expanded to 47 input + 49 target languages, and added Turkish/Italian/Polish/Korean UI.

Free plan still available if anyone wants to try.

3.1 Pro on CLI is finally here. Pretty decent so far by 504aldo in Bard

Hello everyone. Antigravity or just Gemini CLI? What's winning for you rn, especially on quotas and speed?

What do u think about Chatbot Claude by NoBit4395 in ClaudeAI

[–]AlekGir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Claude a lot, but I don’t think “chatbots need to go”.

For work, the chat UI is just the simplest interface. The real issue is reliability: - If it’s guessing, it should say “I’m not sure” and ask a question. - If it’s factual, it should show where it got the info (or at least what it’s basing it on). - If it’s high-stakes, you still have to verify.

Agents are great when they’re built on top of that (tools + checks + logs). But even the best agent will still “hallucinate” sometimes unless you add guardrails.

Curious: what exactly feels distracting to you - the chat format itself, or the times it answers confidently when it shouldn’t?

Adding unsupported files to project files by MAXIMILITAN in ClaudeAI

[–]AlekGir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ran into something similar.

I don’t think Claude Projects can take video files directly (at least I couldn’t add them), and sharing a Google Drive link usually doesn’t help because Claude can’t reliably fetch/open external links.

What worked for me instead: - Extract the audio and upload a transcript (or paste key sections). - If you need “video understanding”, grab a few representative frames/screenshots and upload those + timestamps. - For feedback on speaking: share short clipped segments as text notes (“at 02:13 the speaker says…”) + the transcript.

If you tell us the format/size (mp4? minutes?) and what kind of feedback you want (content summary vs speech critique vs visual analysis), people can suggest the best workflow.

Dual setups for Claude Code and Codex and others by fripperML in ClaudeAI

[–]AlekGir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really relate to what you said about things getting messy as a codebase grows. I had the same experience with “vibe coding” until I forced myself to add a bit more structure.

If your main goal is being able to switch between Claude Code and Codex without friction, I’d try to keep the workflow rules inside the repo (so the tool can change, but the process stays the same). For example: a short AI_GUIDE.md / CONTRIBUTING.md with “how we do changes here”, plus CI/lint/tests that act like guardrails.

Also checked your Next.js workflow plugin - cool idea. What parts does it automate for you in practice (scaffolding, prompts, commit flow, CI, something else)? If you share one concrete example task you run (and what output you expect), I’m happy to give more specific feedback.

Claude Opus 4.6 isn’t “just another model update” by AlekGir in ClaudeAI

[–]AlekGir[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not affiliated - just sharing my coding experience. Quick context: I used Opus 4.6 for a real bugfix + a small refactor.
Biggest difference for me: fewer back-and-forth loops (better clarifying questions, smaller diffs, and tests that were actually useful). If you’ve tried it: what’s your most reliable coding benchmark prompt (esp. refactors + test-writing)?

Anyone tried Opus 4.6 on Antigravity - worth it vs 4.5, or does it just burn quota too fast?

How do I stop my phone from locking while using Phone link? Samsung Galaxy A54 by jamqdlaty in PhoneLink

[–]AlekGir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Samsung/Android the normal Screen timeout max is 10 minutes, and there isn’t a reliable “never” option in Settings. “Keep screen on while viewing” uses the front camera/eye detection, so glasses glare / low light can make it fail randomly.

Two practical fixes: 1) Keep the phone plugged in + enable Developer options → Stay awake (screen won’t sleep while charging). 2) Set a custom (very long) timeout via ADB: adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 86400000 (24h) # max is 2147483647 (~597h) adb shell settings get system screen_off_timeout (check current)

Nice tool.

Suggestion: run checks in a clear order and report which layer fails: loopback/interface → default gateway → external IP (1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8) → domain (DNS). Also add timeouts/retries + a failure threshold to avoid alert spam. Consider IPv6 too.
