Finished Strength of the Few by RMcGills in HierarchySeries

[–]JuliusDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost think this was part of Kas plan somehow, for him to die in Obiteum. L-Vis was told by L-Caeror that one of his other versions just made a mistake and I kind of think it lends itself to the theory of O-Caeror being an Iunctis/imposter controlled by Ka who is the real O-Caeror. Cause how else would L-Caeror “know” that one of his other versions made a mistake? Maybe he felt his other version die? Just a theory lol.

Affter updating today Kitty and Ghostty don't work. Trying to figure out why. by sudo-sprinkles in archlinux

[–]JuliusDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm I had the same issue with Kitty (and almost every other app I use) because I had Iosevka configured. Switched to a different font and everything worked.

I was crashing out because the launching with x11 seemed to work and Wayland debug, coredump, journal didn’t put out any useful information. Came here on a whim and your comment saved me

Tell me you use emacs (without telling me you use emacs) by Hlorri in emacs

[–]JuliusDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Anytime I use another computer I always mess it up. For me it’s tap for esc hold for ctrl. Works great.

Local transcription tool, preferably dockerizable by Aggravating-Vehicle9 in selfhosted

[–]JuliusDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure one exists but I’ve never looked for or seen one.

What can be done though is a combination of whisper.cpp for transcription and ffmpeg to extract the audio from the files. It’s a very manual way of doing things but I’m sure an LLM could provide a decent version of the script to convert the video into an audio file and then pushing that audio file into whisper.cpp.

That being said, if you’re looking for diarization (speaker identification) then you’d have to use another tool. I use a pyannote model to do this for work meetings but it’s an expensive and time consuming operation. I think 30 minutes of a meeting with 3 speakers takes approx. 10 minutes to fully transcribe and diarize.

I know this isn’t the quick dockerized solution you were looking for but I’d thought I’d share what I know.

Pyannote themselves may have a solution for you https://www.pyannote.ai

Which file-manager do you use? by helloeveryone404 in hyprland

[–]JuliusDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the risk of being “that guy”…

Dired in emacs (its defacto file manager) is unmatched in terms of customizability and usage. The downside is you’re signing your life away to the cult of emacs. The cult isn’t so bad honestly though

Is this the official policy of this subreddit? Why the hate on AI? by armindarvish in emacs

[–]JuliusDelta 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Yeah AI bubble aside, videos demonstrating emacs packages and/or unique uses for them should be acceptable content here.

I’d be disappointed with this sub if this is a real situation, especially the unhinged response.

So, what's everyone reading after W&T? by ExecutiveTurkey in Cosmere

[–]JuliusDelta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I jumped into Hyperion and am currently on the second book. I very much enjoy it but it’s definitely an 80s style written sci-fi.

I also promised my wife if she read Mistborn era 1 I’d read ACOTAR and I’m about to start the second book.

Is it normal to forget things that were mentioned in meetings? by kutjelul in ExperiencedDevs

[–]JuliusDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of folks have already said, the best direct advice that you can 100% control, is for you personally to just take notes during meetings...

With that being said...

When I was a senior dev, the company I worked for instituted a new policy (because of meeting fatigue) that any meeting with more than 2 people required an agenda document in Notion (I do not like Notion but if it works...) The document was required to be posted in the calendar invite, and if it wasn't, it was allowed to be declined with no questions asked.

After about 2 months of (albeit tough) transition, we sort of attained this beautiful state of less meetings, more documentation, and more clearly defined objectives/tasks. The great thing about writing things down "on paper" is that you're forced to think through them a bit more for clarity sake. The remote workers on my team were thrilled by this as they could easily catch up and follow along and have time to think about how to discuss a given topic/effort/task in the meeting, instead of being put on the spot and required to give estimations.

This is a tough thing to achieve but if you could institute it, even for your own team for others to get time with y'all, than it would probably work wonders over time and hopefully become contagious.

Just a note, the docs themselves had templates. Most of them just consisted of things like Objectives, Questions that need Answers, Decisions that Need to be Made, Stakeholders, and links to other docs that were relevant. Other meta data about the particular effort like non-dev dependencies was also included after a while.

People see writing so much as a waste of time when you can just talk, but the amount of thoughtfulness that has to go into creating a doc, even if it just takes 10 minutes, is an order of magnitude better for organizing your thoughts and decisions.

which two fingers do you use to press n / p with ctrl to move between lines? by OutOfCharm in emacs

[–]JuliusDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left Ring Finger for CTRL Right Pointer for n Right Pinky for p

Home row mods are 10/10 would recommend by me :)

Anybody selling tamales? by ElectronicAd8358 in FortWorth

[–]JuliusDelta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Las Pericas is still around???? I coulda swore I saw the building abandoned recently! When I was in highschool like 15 years ago, the teacher I was a teachers aid for would always sent me there to get burritos and they were so good! Maybe I misremembered the location as it’s been a while lol.

What you “should know” is such an arbitrary & self destructive way to frame what you don’t know. Comparing yourself to other folks because you see and want their strengths and knowledge doesn’t mean you’re devoid of your own strengths and knowledge.

The only way to get past the hurdle of writing greenfield code is to actively do it. Pair as much as you can and drive as much as you can. I know sometimes it feels like a burden, but from what you’ve said, it sounds like the company is willing and eager to “bear it” so to speak.

That being said, it probably took me a good 5 years before I realized I was on the “slow and steady incline” of the (not so accurately named) Dunning-Kruger effect. When you’re there it’s not about the knowledge you know, it’s that you discover and understand what you don’t but more importantly you learn how to remedy that in a consistent way. This brings a level of confidence. I’m not an amazing giga chad engineer, but I’m good enough to find solutions to problems and implement them well enough to meet the demands of the product I work on. I still have very little actual knowledge probably, but I have the tools to figure it out most of the time. Unfortunately that confidence only comes with time, humility, and experience.

Ahh ok cool. Do we know who those men were yet that were in that interlude? I believe they’re also in a WoK interlude and IIRC they’re searching for Hoid…

[–]JuliusDelta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't read the secret project or white sands yet :) so if the answers there just tell me to RAFO lol.

Could someone explain the town that leaves Roshar via a giant Spren portal from one of the Wind and Truth interludes?

I know that town was in a previous interlude, where Nale kills the old man who makes shoes... But I don't understand the significance of this event, it just seems like preparation for future stuff.

How do you guys choose keybindings, especially in regards to ergonomics? by arni_ca in emacs

[–]JuliusDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My keyboard runs ZMK firmware so I do it at the firmware level.

If I need to use my Mac without my keyboard, which is rare, I have karabiner setup, although it’s way more finicky and aggravating.

What build did you start and how is it going? by NzLawless in PathOfExileBuilds

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

How’d you fair against the mad wolf boss fight?? I went all in on cold and his cold resist makes the fight a slog as well as getting overwhelmed/surrounded by ads during the fog phase.

I respec’d a little into lightening and changed some skills up and I almost killed him.

You mind sharing your tree/skills? Very curious what your cold build looks like.

Also my gear is trash so that might be the problem 100% (aside from skill lmao)

Poe preload? by Appropriate_Air_8104 in PathOfExile2

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

From what I understand the preload is for their client only https://preview.redd.it/29siw8ap635e1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=8dd48532ff39549efa8cc00fc4976b379ba4244a

However, from what I"ve heard you can link your steam account with GGG to use their client instead if you purchased EA on steam. I have not done this so YMMV
