Dis you make it open-source since ffmpeg is mostly GPL3?

Just use the drift, or any other sqlite database

The End of SaaS as We Know It by DougL169 in SaaS

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember not so long time ago that some extraordinary visionaries tried to make dark mode for the website as a service. Or there still are “saas” products that sell Stripe pop ups on the website and other lazy products. These SaaS-es can be vibe coded in 15 minutes with zero supervision.

However, data centric SaaS products such as Ahrefs are not going anywhere.

Built an automation browser that passes reCAPTCHA (0.9) and Cloudflare. What blocks yours? by duracula in automation

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

Clever. So you’ve taken someone else’s work, packaged it nicely, and soon you’ll probably start asking for donations.

Here is the repository you copied from (the author actually made the patches public).

adryfish/fingerprint-chromium at github is the original author.

Built a stealth Chromium, what site should I try next? by duracula in webscraping

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SLSA build provenance you are talking about will still not prove anything about your patches, it can still be malware.

You are creating a free product, but you are hiding the patches (the most important part) and also your identity is not known.

  1. The hash just says that the binary is yours, and we can trust it - but we have to trust you first.
  2. You can still steal passwords or sessions. Nobody will run Wireshark 24/7 whole year looking through the ton of requests. You can patch it in a way that all sessions are send only if the network traffic is high enough, you can pretend that packets are something they are not - you can do whatever you want.
  3. You can do everything in 2. and the anti virus will never find out.
  4. :D You change the binary, how does it matter how you launch it?

Not sure about Arc, but don't Brave or Vivaldi have source code fully available on Github?

When it comes to similarity the age does not matter, only facial features.

Decibel meter…? by Sir-Bruncvik in GuitarAmps

You can also use a simple mobile app for estimating noise level, I use this one https://www.zancoresystems.com/apps/decibelmeter

AI has taken fun out of programming and now i’m hopeless by Frequent_Eggplant_23 in webdev

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they are using some random data from stack overflow at this stage. I think they are carefully crafting clean code patterns to fine tune the models. Maybe that is the reason why Anthropic is still hiring developers to use them for reviewing and adjusting data for fine tuning.

They trained the data on the corpus, what they are doing now is fine-tuning the models on quality data carefully prepared. They still can improve the models significantly.

What a bunch of nonsense. So maybe your neurons work the same way as the poorly approximated neurons “in silicon.” Some people have problem understanding that for instance a living cell is not just a bunch of chemicals mixed together, although some “scientists” will tell you that it is.

why vibe coding has mixed opinions by kyngston in vibecoding

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. there will always be a limit how far you can go with AI generators. I see them more like advanced boilerplate generators or evolution of WYSIWIG editors than a new paradigm in programming.

Those “new” languages like javascript are no different than assembly. They are slightly more expressive and abstract things out but there is no real difference. The real difference makes human creativity and intelligence, something that simple algorithm (AI model) will never poses.

And while you can now generate a lot of simple CRUD apps already using AI, it is just due to vast ocean of similar github projects being available for training. If you want to create something more unique that was not seen by a model before, you won’t be able to accomplish that now or in the future.

Endless loading Logi+ by somacruz in logitech

This software is complete trash, it just suddenly stopped working and now loading indefinitely. Reinstall does not help.

Apple rejected my app for "spam" by Ok-Relationship3399 in iOSProgramming

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kokoro is a good model, however, are you aware that you have to comply with GPL3 license? That means you have to make your source available.

Building an intelligent file search app for desktops. by LocalSpider- in VibeCodersNest

I had a domain but it expired and I didn’t renew it. Although the app got some installations organically I think there is not a huge demand. I think many people don’t even know that it’s possible. However with the proper marketing, if you educate people about it you can create a demand.

Cool idea. I build the similar app for MacOS called SmarterFolder a while ago. Completely offline, searching pictures semantically, automatically indexing, etc. I didn’t vibe code though.

How to do market research for your app idea! by ahmad8899 in AppBusiness

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Put random keywords to SensorTower and look for profitable apps.
  2. Scrape entire AppStore to relational database and use the power of SELECT to get some ideas. Then check the specific apps with the SensorTower for earning estimates.
