Awesome. Thanks Price! Keep up the great work. I do love a good self hosted, well designed app.

The app looks, ok… looking forward to seeing it improve over time when it comes out of test flight.

I will say, the only reason why I haven’t moved my private comms with friend over to Zulip or RocketChat, and this is gonna sound petty, is because their mobile apps don’t let you insert gifs from the keyboard in your phone.

Using AI generated code will also make me a programmer I could never be. Been an infra and cloud guy, so this has been a game changer for me to actually create MVPs of things that have only ever existed in my head. I love it.

Cuz she maybe isn’t to everyone’s liking which is why we get a “choice”. I say “choice” cuz a 2 party system of handpicked elites isn’t really a choice, but I guess it’s better than a dictatorship.

Looks great! Is speaker diarization supported?

I see your point. How far do we go to protect the fools and is there infringement upon the non fools when everything has to be scoped down for the lowest common denominator?

No one is being forced to bet. The crime is not teaching people self sufficiency and good decision making. If heroin become suddenly legal I would not start using heroin. It’s a choice and it takes self control. It is no one’s responsibility but one’s own to make good decisions. “A fool and his money are easily parted” holds true here. Don’t be fools.

LLMs don’t currently “think”. So I assume a slow response is just a system load issue.

Nice. Does this support speaker diarization and output of subtitles to json format?

Would be interested to see what is in there. Luckily noone has posted the magnet link on Twitter.

Show HN: Dockerized Gemini OpenAI API Proxy

mjtechguy — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 04:24:39 +0000

Some other cool dudes made a serverless OpenAI API compatible proxy for Gemini here: https://github.com/PublicAffairs/openai-gemini

I like that idea, but I don't like always relying on external vendors for my stuff. (Yes, ironic that I am using this to access an external vendor...).

So I dockerized it so I can run it in my homelab. Now, maybe you can use it to do the same.

Very cool project. Can't wait to give it a try. I havent had much success with gpt-engineer, aider and others. I think this has the granularity for complex operations that is missing from other tools.

This is a really useful and well thought out app. Not without it's bugs, but Nazeem has been really responsive and cheerful about fixes. Curious if this is using RAG as well.

Any plans for a terraform provider module? Can’t use to many services that don’t support automation.

How is this different from a religion or a church. Seems like BS charges to me.

More likely that people have found better (often open source) frontends that interface with the OpenAI API, other commercial LLMs, or any of the excellent self hosted models via something like LocalAI. I know that is the case for me.

Not enough to be stopped, needs to be “deallocated” as well. I would probably take the discount they are offering…
