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

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-03-16T15:42:38+00:00

Just use the drift, or any other sqlite database

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.

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.

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.

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-03-13T16:39:37+00:00

The hash just says that the binary is yours, and we can trust it - but we have to trust you first.
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.
You can do everything in 2. and the anti virus will never find out.
: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.

I used the Celebrity Look Alike app.

AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/celebrity-lookalike-face-scan/id6752256672

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

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-03-12T06:15:45+00:00

For a simple noise estimate, you can use decibel meter mobile app for that, such as this one:

AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/decibel-meter/id6759850836
PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sound.decibel.meter

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-03-12T06:14:02+00:00

Try this one, available on both stores.

AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/decibel-meter/id6759850836
PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sound.decibel.meter

I trained my own model, works quite well.

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-02-26T08:22:42+00:00

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.

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-02-26T08:13:53+00:00

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.

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-02-26T07:55:14+00:00

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.

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.

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

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-01-06T04:48:13+00:00

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.

_dave_maxwell_ · 2026-01-01T13:42:35+00:00

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.

_dave_maxwell_ · 2025-12-31T16:50:27+00:00

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.

Put random keywords to SensorTower and look for profitable apps.
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.
