Got fed up with web tech, it's so slow and clunky, so made my own version in python and qt. I changed the design to be based on a doclayout llm, so you can skip or include things like tables and references easily.

It now works so beautifully fast, it's code is readable and simple, no apis or multiple services. Just a qt app, some local llms that can run on a decent cpu and word-leven highlighting and playback selection.

I can listen to papers now!

Now were it limited in access to ask money to compensate for the time and money spent compiling the library (or training the model), sure, I'd somewhat understand. Not agree but understand.

Now it just feels like you want to prevent your model name being associated with the one guy who might use it to create a racist slur Twitter bot. There's plenty of models for that already. At least the societal balance of a model like this would also have enough weight on the positive side to be net positive.

It's a very complete package, it has a quick launcher that's good, a good screenshot tool and very very nice window management features.

When combined with libinput gestures, you can get macOS style three finger swipe between desktops. And not just a swap, but a nice swipe animation that pauses when you do on the touchpad.

On a laptop, this is such a big timesaver.

Its bottom bar icon handling is very good, customising is easy, and the settings panel is very clear. Everything is just so polished.

Then there is kde connect as well, it integrates so effertlessly. Kde is truly a software powerhouse, well done.

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

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.

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

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.

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
