Deleted my Facebook account along with Instagram early this year because of obvious reasons.

Won’t be a part of this metaverse and I’m very happy about that.


Krisp uses ML to remove background noises like dog barking, crispy chips and such.

Comes with a subscription model for unlimited use though.

I had people complain they couldn't hear me well when I used their (deprecated) iOS app. I kept having to turn off the ML noise-cancelling.


I had similar issues with their macOS app using a pretty basic headphone+microphone setup (EarPods). I ended up leaving it off and not re-installing in on my latest setup.

I've had a subscription from mid-2019, though I no longer use it. I find Zoom's basic noise suppression good enough for calls.


I believe Zoom licensed Krisp to handle noise-cancelling in their client.


Have you used the internal mic?

I found out that if the phone is too far away, the voice would flagged as ‚background chatting‘ and therefore muted.

Once I connected a headset those issues went away.


I was using standard corded iPhone earpods.


Any open source models available v


Here is a blog post that describes their approach https://towardsdatascience.com/real-time-noise-suppression-u...


I am about 15 hours in on a PS4 Pro and absolutely every side mission I played was bugged.

One is completely broken to the point where I can’t complete the quest because Johnny isn’t spawning.

And on top of that the Game crashes at least once per hour.

I do expect A LOT more when paying 70€ on a game. No, not RTX, but at least >20fps. The game is constantly hitching every N seconds.

Plus the PR was all about that stunning AI but it’s not there at all. Just compare the 48min E3 demo with actual gameplay.


Oh, the AI is really killing me, especially in Silverhand scenes. You can pretty much aim at an empty space and wait for a head to appear there, because it's obvious they will move there before shooting you :(


> Just compare the 48min E3 demo with actual gameplay.

You mean this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogihi-OewPQ

This is probably the first game that didn't get a downgrade visually, but got an upgrade.

Not sure what else do you mean by E3 demo.


Did you miss the sentence before?

>Plus the PR was all about that stunning AI but it’s not there at all. Just compare the 48min E3 demo with actual gameplay.

He's talking about the AI that got a downgrade, not the visuals.


> He's talking about the AI that got a downgrade, not the visuals.

He is talking about E3 gameplay demo, so I showed one. I would gladly see the one that showed AI downgrade.

Doom 2016, e3 vs release: https://i.imgur.com/I5mWucM.jpeg


Yeah, but the MBA is doing all that with just 10W (15W burst), while your hackintosh most likely consumes 400W.

Not really comparable though.


I'm happy to pay for the electricity if I get faster builds.

My daily driver is a Hackintosh and with the CPUs pegged pulls about 70W from the wall. The two displays add another 90W.

M1 is impressively efficient but there's still a gap for fast, no-compromise workstations.


On a desktop, power consumption doesn't really matter.

But on a laptop, it matters a ton. Personally I prefer doing work from my couch rather than my desk; ergonomics and external monitors be damned.


I don't know how old are you but you might regret that later.

Around 40 years old is usually when you start to pay for carelessness with your body. Ask me how I know ...


100%, everything’s easy in your 20s! ;)


Except finances. :-)


Sounds like you need a better desk/chair.


> M1 is impressively efficient but there's still a gap for fast, no-compromise workstations.

Apple has already said that they are releasing a workstation-class M1X/M2 next year.

The point is that the M1 is already comparable to many workstations.


And yet everyone keeps comparing those and claiming how much faster Air is supposed to be based on a very funny benchmark.

Not sure how power use actually matters when I'm sitting and waiting for things to compile several times a day.


Sure, but his Hackintosh isn't running a laptop chip. 15W X86 CPUs would probably compile that faster than the M1 if the difference from Intel is that small.


Maybe 400W burst with a fast graphics card. Do we have actual measurements from the MBA yet?


Reminds me of the fifth element somehow


I think the author has a misconception of why most developers use electron instead of SwiftUI: The MS universe.

I’ve built my most recent app using electron because I could easily target both os‘es using the same code base.

This will not change with the M1 and Big Sur.

I would love to see Apple going all in with SwiftUI and implement Win10 support. But I doubt this will ever happen.


Except I have a friend who streams on regular basis and got his stream muted while playing songs from Twitch’s own streaming service. Wouldn’t recommend using that at the moment.



Power != law.

This policeman risks his job now. If it was in another country, I would laugh it off. Here in Germany this will become a national case.


With all due respect, that is ridiculous. There have been dozens such cases over the last years, with little to no repercussions the police officers. Amnesty international has repeatedly criticised police violence in Germany. This is not a one-off problem.


Fair enough I don’t know all the cases.

Could you tell me how you would have done it? To hold those protesters with a limited amount of policemen?


Simply don't. Arguing that protestors should not enter the mine "because its dangerous" and beating them up to get them to stop entering doesn't make sense. This is similar to the recent Tweetstorm I read about a woman having a panic attack and the police shouting at her to calm down.

In this scenario the senior officers in charge should've known this would never work and ordered their men to stand down.


>Simply don't. Arguing that protestors should not enter the mine "because its dangerous" and beating them up to get them to stop entering doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure that makes sense either. The level of harm isn't nearly the same -- mines are notoriously life-threatening places. The degree of economic harm isn't nearly the same either.

I can see where you're coming from, but surely you can see how many might consider use of force justified, here.


> Could you tell me how you would have done it? To hold those protesters with a limited amount of policemen?

By not holding them. The right to protest outranks the right to property.


> The right to protest outranks the right to property.

And where is that defined? Your rights don't allow you to deprive someone else of their rights.


To add to that, there is no independent agency in Germany that is tasked with investigating police misconduct. All cases are investigated by other policemen.


Exactly how were these policemen supposed to get these people to stop (or even attacking them since they were in the clear minority there), since they aren't using guns?


If you ask me? There is no way without proper preparation. It’s a wide area and it requires hundreds of policemen. So from this point of view, this is the usual “let’s put tape over the holes, and let’s hope the water doesn’t leak”. It’s like releasing software without testing it first, it can work....maybe not :)

So probably by hitting a bit they were trying to achieve fear so that people would not go further? No idea, for me what they did is not violent. At least that’s not how I define abuse of power, but maybe because I come from a country where policemen really do abuse power.
