Quick blog post to share a fun project about AI-generated sportscasting. Featuring OpenAI vision and ElevenLabs voice APIs for real-time video narration.


Thanks for the link; didn't find that existing report. Yeah, it's a new thing. Apparently at least 9 days old. :)

I'm kind of baffled that a service, that literally has one entry point: providing JavaScript to customer sites, can do something as stupid as this.



https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/JSONView-for-Chrome/pull/4... maybe it's about this XSS issue. Funny though, that the extension it's just now suddenly being pulled out.

I would've imagined this extension being used by A LOT of developers...


Yea, my guess would be that's it. Coupled with the fact it hasn't been updated in ~3 years.

I've giving this one a shot, might have too much functionality for me though...I liked how bare-bones the other one was. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-viewer/gbmdgp...


I also like bare-bones stuff, and I am currently evaluating this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-formatter/bcj... that is fast, easy on the eye and minimal. Haven't reviewed the code tho.


Giving that one a try too. Thanks for the link.


So what is the optimal starting point in your opinion?


That depends where you want to go with your system, but Unity seems to be one of the most obnoxious Desktop Environments when trying to get it to look different from its default-look.

Apart from that, if you're going to replace most of the DE-functionality with dedicated components anyways, you'll want to start out with a more minimal DE, if possible, for the sake of resource usage.


Arch Linux.... or another rolling distro.

You get the software releases as quickly as possible.

This empowers you to work with the latest releases and also forces you to be more conscious of what is supported by which software release. In which case you spin up VMs to test out all the other distros / software releases for compatibility concerns.

My 2 cents... Sometimes Ubuntu 14.04 will be perfectly fine for whatever environment you need...


Most people here are replying Arch. That's what I keep coming back to. (over and over again)


Arch maybe a better starting point than Ubuntu


HTTP 503 Service Unavailable "Request queue full."


"Percentage: {:.2f}%".format(foobar * 100) vs "Percentage: {:.2%}".format(foobar)


its actually harder to read, in my opinion, since the % character is often used for formatting,eg '%s' % somevar.

personally, i dislike such spammy prs. it adds nothing to my code, and its not like accepting the pr is going to attract you as a developer on my code.


Related to password security: any of you guys using Chrome's ability to sync passwords to "Google cloud"?

I just started using it a few weeks ago. Supposedly it uses a password to encrypt the data, but I still don't feel too confident syncing them there. On the other hand.. damn it's so convenient between multiple devices.


There was recently a TeamViewer breach. Hackers somehow managed to access people's machines. Everything was denied and it wasn't investigated. Regardless, passwords were retrieved from Chrome. Some people lost a great deal of money.

Your browser is not a competent password manager and you should stop using it for that immediately.

Dashlane and LastPass make their money by keeping your passwords safe. This is far more preferable than a free browser feature. Both can sync across devices (if you pay). Sounds like you will like Dashlane for the same reasons that I do.


How would LastPass protect you against another TeamViewer breach?


I assume it's the same with LastPass, but I use 1Password and that requires you to enter a master password to unlock the passwords, where as Chrome requires no extra authentication.


What do you mean? The whole thing can be encrypted with a master password, and LastPass offers an option to simply remember your master password with the browser extensions/desktop apps that I assume many people use.


> LastPass offers an option to simply remember your master password

It does, but it gives you a VERY strongly-worded warning when you enable that.

I like LastPass for a few reasons -

* It lets me share my personal account with my work account so I can keep them separate (so when I log in on my work PC, I still have my personal passwords, but I log in to my personal account on my devices so I don't have to worry about someone getting access to work passwords on there).

* 2FA

* If I try to set a master password that's the same as one of my passwords I'm storing in there, it warns me.

* Cross-platform


1Password, at least, does not offer a 'remember master password' feature. I also configure it to auto-lock and auto-clear the clipboard on aggressive timeouts (I suspect other password managers allow for this too)


How would that help with the aforementioned TeamViewer breach? Unless your timeout is 1 min or less, the attacker can just watch and wait until you've logged in somewhere with LastPass and then quickly act.


The master password.


I use and love 1Password. Chrome is a terrible place to keep passwords due to what @zamalek said.


Jenkins too is built on top of a compiled language. Too bad it is JVM, which is a hog when it comes to memory... Point being that a "compiled language" is no guarantee of a low memory usage.


OK, I meant "compiled into native code" language.


Still doesn't change much when said language can be JIT'ed.
