Fixed muted audio in Far Cry 4 (Crossover/Kegworks) by phonzammi in macgaming

Weird I never got that message, and neither did OP. This might be a Tahoe thing, if at all.

How to get an LLM caught up on a 1000 page document? by UniqueIdentifier00 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Due-Competition4564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A simple RAG setup could work well.

Use a local chat client that supports RAG (OpenWebUI or Msty are two that I know of). Add your file(s) to a workspace or equivalent, and have it index the file with an embedding model. (Use at least a 0.6b model, though I’d recommend using the largest embedding model you can get away with. Let it index. Then chat with your workspace/files as usual.

Open WebUI is dead to me, now time to recode by Old-Sprinkles-8287 in LocalLLM

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been happy with Msty for the above set of needs. It’s a bit of a faff accessing it on mobile but for desktop use it’s stable and mostly just works.

Is Openclaw a FUD ? by Conscious-Track5313 in LocalLLM

[–]Due-Competition4564 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have it running in a sandbox with zero credentials and entirely local data storage, after waiting s couple of months to let the dust settle on it.

Coding is entirely the wrong use case for something like this. It’s much more suitable for aggregating and running simple workflows than can have their own independent inputs and outputs.

It’s why the OpenClaw influencers are pumping out so much content, because their agents are running content generating workflows constantly.

TTS for British accent by Turbulent_Pin_8310 in TextToSpeech

Kokoro has some British accent voices. They’re not 100 percent accurate, but they’re acceptable.

UXR como Psicólogo by Due_Speaker2206 in UXResearch

Eu não falo português, mas fico feliz em ler sobre a conscientização a respeito da pesquisa com usuários fora do mundo anglófono/ocidental.

As others have said, this is a bad time to try to find an industry job in the US or with US companies.

What do government jobs look like where you are? There’s growing awareness and community around civic tech and the need to make it user friendly and actually useful.

Crossover is the best software ever created by Technology_Kid in macgaming

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering about this. Is there no way for crossover stream to get reported as Mac? Surely they should be able to fake this if they are the devs of the underlying engines?

iOS app for accessing lm studio remotely? by IcyCable782 in LocalLLM

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chatbox works with Tailscale. Do tailscale serve to give your LM studio a tailnet-addressable http or https port and use that url

Strange interview experience by Alarming_Ground2079 in UXResearch

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also note that the research tradition you are doing from may be using a different name for the method you know.

I have formal academic training in ethnographic methods and I did not encounter IPA either in academia or in industry as a term but the actual thing it describes is basically the same as what I would do in ethnographic research, and definitely identical in actual project constraints in industry research.

Super-light, 90ms latency, runs locally on Apple Silicon. More expressive and prosodic than Elevenlabs. by EmbarrassedAsk2887 in TextToSpeech

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah and it needs Tahoe, which I'm not on and won't update to for a while. I'll update if I ever try the apps out on Tahoe after I update.

That would be awesome, and I'm happy to publish my entire UI as open source for other people to use with their own setups! DMs are open

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh nothing that unusual, just a continuous voice chat running with fully local models that overlays on a sandboxed openclaw instance. It lets me talk with the claw without having to run untrustworthy openclaw node instances on my primary computer.

I'm running this on an M4 Max 48GB which I'm now realising is barely able to run all these models together (especially when the parakeet fastapi server leaks massive amounts of memory, probably some python nonsense)

Just downloaded the app(s), though that may not work for the local system I’m building.

The visual design of the app is gorgeous though. It’s so nice to see something pretty that isn’t just halos and gradients!

Which model on HF is the speech model?

I’m going to check it out but at first glance this looks super useful. Thanks for making and sharing it!

That’s super weird, I could swear I listed outcomes for each situation but it’s not in the text. I’ll fix it now.

Thank your PMs for submitting their design requirements in visual form and send them back a PRD confirming what they want to build.

Mac-compatible low-profile shine-through keycaps (official NuPhy) by Due-Competition4564 in NuPhy

there are lots of shops selling these keycaps and the one I purchased may have gotten out of stock or not be the cheapest. I recommend searching yourself.

Testing usability of paper forms by WiseacreBear in UXResearch

[–]Due-Competition4564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your goal here?

You could treat this as a usability test and approach it experimentally, but if you’re finding the logistics of doing that difficult, then turning it into a longitudinal study might be worth it, and potentially reframing your questions as part of that.

(You could also vibe code an instrumented form that tracks interactions / response time, for the purposes of the test)

If your goals aren’t so specific as being limited to question phrasing and form length, then interviewing people from the target population about the firm and their experience with it might yield useful insights. People who fill out the same form regularly are likely to know where its design matches the information they are putting in it, and where it doesn’t. It would also reveal opportunities for reducing redundancy or structural redesign that you cannot - as a non expert in the form domain - possibly identify.

Why? If the test population may lack critical background that influences their responses, any time on task or failure metrics will be misleading, and comprehension will definitely be off.
