What about Continue? It's an open source, bring your own api AI integration for vscode. It does everything that copilot does, including the editing-your-code-in-front-of-you diff style editor.

I don't think it has any special api access?

Only if you see source code as the only valuable thing, which it isn't. The knowledge of the team, industry connections, experience etc etc are a big part of what make it so you can effectively use the source code.

We're making an industrial sorting machine. Our management is feared to death to lose the source code. But realistically, who's going to put in the time to fully understand a codebase we can barely grasp ourselves? Then get rid of all custom sensor mappings, paths and other stuff specific for us. And then develop on it further, assuming they even believe we have the "right" way of doing things?

Right, no one. 90% of companies could open source their stuff and, apart from legal nonsense, nothing practical will happen, no one will read the code.

You just supported my point that these companies at their core have little value. A team? Teams are fleeting and easily replaced given the hiring and firing (and poaching) practices of companies. Industry connections? Maybe to some degree, but those are fleeting as well and how do you value it? Most of these connections are held by relatively few people in the company.

Companies in other legal jurisdictions will and can steal ip with little impunity and throw new AI tools to quickly gather an understanding of the codebase. Furthermore, knowledge of source provides a roadmap to attack vectors for security violations. Seems foolish to dismiss the risks of losing control of source code.

Not really. Taxes are so high because people get a lot of things for cheap/free like Healthcare and education. In countries where this isn't the case (USA for example) you'd easily pay 2 to 3 times the salary to get the same developer.

In this case even only paying the main dev a US wage would be more than the taxes on everything.

To be snarky:

How many US people who run non profits end up with a “major health event” and have to beg for donations for surgery or something?

While the EU people running non profits just… go to the doctor when they’re sick…

I copy pasted the exact prompt into gpt4 (not the api, the webapp) and regenerated the answer 5 times.

Every time it came back with a conclusive yes. Are you sure you used gpt4 and not gpt3.5? I guess cherry picking is done both ways.

I want to agree, but I searched on their website and found their narration service with 2 full book examples. I listened to the first one for a while and it's the first time an Ai narrator was good enough to keep me listening: https://www.audiostory.ai/2065785/11707800-alice-s-adventure...

It's noticable worse than the examples in the blog post. I mean, it's good enough for listening, but no better than the competition.

It's vastly better than any TTS system I have used, but then I've only used a few (mainly phone assistants and the thing built into kindle).

What is the competition that you are referring to?

Yeah, as I mentioned I work in TTS and agree with you. If this is legit it is pretty amazing. Certainly would put them as one of the top providers especially given that they could ramp up voice selection. Also, if they truly are training on random stuff they would not have to pay royalties to voice actors since these voices don't exist. This is on par or better then most competitors i am aware of.

If you have a GPU, also check out Nvidia broadcast. It removes webcam background sure, but it can also do some seriously high quality noise cancellation, much like the krisp.ai service does from the article.

It can even run the same noise cancellation algo on incoming audio! So you can filter colleagues' noise for yourself if they don't want to bother

I have a laptop with an Nvidia GPU and gave Broadcast a try but ended up going for Krisp. It was overheating my machine and I was often working in places where other people are talking, which Nvidia's noise cancellation wasn't really useful for. Krisp has this handy "voice cancellation" feature that you can train to recognize your own voice and it cancels out other people's voices.

Using Krisp for almost 2 years now, it's an integral part to my online meetings. Can't recommend it highly enough.
