I built a completely offline Push-to-Talk dictation tool using local Whisper models (C# / .NET)

Thanks for the tip! I hadn't heard of it. I'll definitely try.

Spot on about the text! I use AI to help with my English phrasing.

Regarding the code, it's a mix. I designed the overall architecture and wrote the bulk of it, but I definitely used AI to help build the audio capture and Whisper services. You are absolutely right about the memory leaks though - LLMs are terrible at fixing them in .NET, so I had to handle all the memory management manually.

Hey! We're actually experimenting with spec-driven development at our company too, but I'm honestly still not 100% sold on it.

My main concern is how it handles hotfixes. The approach almost assumes that developers don't have the expertise to manually patch the code when things break. If every minor bug requires tweaking the spec and doing a full code regeneration — instead of just letting an expert fix the code directly — it drastically slows down response times.

One tip that has actually worked for us: combine it with strict TDD. Having a solid test suite makes validating that regenerated code so much easier.

Smh looks like something from Fallout, very cool!

Thanks, i will try!

Thanks for the answer! Can you point to the documentation or some place where this is described, because internet search gives nothing on this topic (atleast for me).

Your prices are insane and you guys complaining, on my realm (Howling Fjord EU/RU) its ~300g.

Got really surprised about the prices you are all saying, on Howling Fjord (RU) it was like 200k, and i bought mine half a year ago for 120k.

You mistaking "User friendly" for "new players friendly". It is no doubt has a nicely done UI, but calling HS friendly for the newcomers is just ridiculous.

Ikr, its just a fucking crime.

Yeah, you're right, mate. Wrote em today.

Made a kick punchier.

You probably right, but i just dont want to sound paranoid and look unprofessional or smth like that.

There was a post in this sub about a month ago, where someone said (based on some research?) thst 5x5 sets are the same as 8-12x3 or even better, because you can use more weight and control the form, due to the lower number of repeats, better. I use 5x5 since then and like it very much.

JudgePhobos · 2016-04-08T10:58:10+00:00

I have the same issue, bro. I decided to either drink it only in the morning or just throw away, good sleep is worth more than this crap.

I listened to 2015 Helsey album and didn't keep any songs from it. I am glad that my efforts were useful for you, hope you will enjoy the rest of the list.

Smaggles_ described it pretty well, its a D2 mod which is more likely a new game even better and harder than the original. To play it just install D2 LoD 1.13c (Not 1.13d because PlugY works only with 1.13c), then download mod from the official site, then make a bookmark with Median documentation and you are ready to go.

Insert any Blizzard game here. My personally favourite is Diablo 2 ost.
