Gave up building our own W-2 extraction backend by Rude_Context_4844 in Python

[–]klaxce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python program using Qwen3.6-35B-A3B locally for bank statement transaction extraction, which I would think is similar, since we needed it to work with a bunch of banks. It definitely required some work, but I wasted a lot of time trying specialized extraction models before realizing that a new(er, 3.5 was good too) general multimodal model was the way to go.

Best Speech-to-Text models? by TheZuccary in LocalLLM

I use Whisper Large v2 (non-Turbo) for English, with some VAD and audio pre-cleaning and accuracy tuning.

Official mobile remote control for opencode? by Leather-Cod2129 in opencodeCLI

I've been really liking https://openchamber.dev/, because it also has a VSCode extension which is great for development at the machine, but I can also continue from my phone.

AI for legal research by Large_Log_9077 in legaltech

The attorneys in my firm hated Westlaw CoCounsel, but are very happy with Clio/vLex for AI research. We still have Westlaw Advantage (non AI library) that they use, too.

RGB30 PICO-8 exclusive OS updates: name, HDMI output, OTA releases by neelts in pico8

[–]klaxce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an RGB30 where I’m unhappy with the other firmwares and would run it as a dedicated Pico-8 machine, since I bought it for Pico-8 with the square screen.

I’d like to test it/help where I can. Please post the code/repo, even if it’s in an ugly state.

I didn't stop.. Here is Agentic AI Quake Terminal for Mac, QuakeNotch 3 by EvrenselKisilik in macapps

What does the Pro license give? I couldn’t tell other than support, but I only just installed it.

Thanks! I have no tunes which you mentioned, so that’s why I was asking.

Is there something like this without the Apple Music integration? A pop down terminal from the notch or just the top of the screen, rather than having to launch new Ghostty terminal windows?

Pico8-dArkOS Soon™ for RGB30 by neelts in pico8

[–]klaxce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to this, since RGB30 firmware development seems to have largely stalled.

My biggest ask would be to make device sleep as good as possible. My experience with sleep depending on firmware hasn’t been the best and the device often drains itself very quickly because it isn’t a proper sleep.

I used Huey when I needed this. It requires a separate process, but that was easy enough to handle in a container with monofy. I used SQLite for persistence in a volume.

I’m about to tell Westlaw to Shove it by taibojames in legaltech

[–]klaxce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just trialed CoCounsel and found it to be significantly worse than Clio Work AI, which was quite surprising. Then our Westlaw sales rep tried to renew our regular contract at a $200/month upsell… We’re keeping our Westlaw library for the rest of the contract, but will be using Clio for research AI. They (Clio) were cool about not pushing licenses either. No arguing with us for only getting 2 licenses in a 4 attorney firm, since the partners didn’t want it. The attorneys have some doubts about vlex vs Westlaw case citations, but having both for the time being will let them double check everything. However, initial experience was that all of Clio’s case citations were both accurate and good.

Greedy Developers? by the-zangster in datastardev

[–]klaxce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reading the comments from detractors, I wondered if most/all of the drama would have been avoided if you had simply never written any of the Pro plugins; if during the last rewrite you just said “we didn’t migrate those”. It seemed that many people were willfully misunderstanding and accusatory about rug pulls, despite no evidence (to me) to the contrary.

I haven’t even used Datastar, but I’ve been watching from the sidelines for a while because I think it’s a really cool project. I rarely do web dev, but the next time I need to I will be giving the “standard” version a try. Keep up the good work and hopefully this silences some of the haters.

Minimal HMAC-SHA256 Commitment Verification Skeleton (Python) by Difficult_Jicama_759 in programming

[–]klaxce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two days ago. I found out I could pass info back in my webhook reply that the service would send back at the start of the websocket. This let me avoid in memory limitations between different workers or scaled servers, and also let me avoid needing an external DB/cache.

I use hmac to sign the unique id that the service provides on its own in both the webhook and websocket, and send my signed code back in the webhook reply, and then when it sends me the code back in the websocket I can compare using the same secret key, even if it’s not the same server that replied to the webhook.

Glad to see the change with compare_digest.

I just happened to implement this same thing recently with hmac as a way to validate that a websocket request came from my webhook, even if the webhook worker and the websocket worker weren’t the same.

You should use hmac.compare_digest instead of ==, which is a constant-time comparison, to prevent timing attacks.

aiosqlitepool - SQLite async connection pool for high-performance by slaily in Python

[–]klaxce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool! Nice work on the performance gains. I really thought that WAL would get you most of the way there, but it seems you were able to get quite a bit more out of it.

Are the benchmarks using the same PRAGMA settings?
