HTZc3SNl.js:1 Failed to generate speech: Error: Invalid API response format at Z (HTZc3SNl.js:1:29240)

Same here. I was hoping to type in "Dos cerverzas por favor" and hear it shout "TWO BEEROS HERE PEDRO".

I did finally get it to generate something using the "Patient man" persona, and "Dos cerverzas por favor" does actually sound like a brit struggling with their Spanish pronunciation.

the nature presenter is broken but the others work

Thanks for trying it and the kind words! Dynamic personalization with variables like that is certainly our cooler offerings. I'll check out that iframe issue, thanks again!

Worked for us on Cloudflare

Worked for me as well! Thank you!

KeyValues does just this: https://keyvalues.com

"Find engineering teams that share your values"

(No affiliation, just a fan)

As a job board owner, I'm also a fan of keyvalues.com as an example of innovation in the market (no affiliation).

That said, I don't see it ever scaling to the mainstream. It serves a great niche, though!

What’s your job board?

I tried to use this site before but there seems to be very few companies and little to no validation of the values (most are subjective as to whether a company meets them).

Wow - I love it. That's how I'd hope to build a job site. Love the long form company descriptions. Will have a think about DDG's idea of a "DRI".

Valid critiques but could be a bit softer towards somebody putting themselves out there.

(edited)

I don't think it's snotty. The criticism is valid and straightforward.

Your comment, on the other hand, brings up the person's post history to make a personal attack. It doesn't address the point being made in any way. This is not the sort of behaviour that's expected on HN.

Fair. Long day, thanks for the sanity check, edited.

More interestingly, they picked a top-15 karma account to criticize. I'm guessing the GGP is a bit more well-versed about what is good HN commenting than GP.

A friend has been making clothes from 100% certified ocean plastic: https://seathreads.co/

As a business owner, I don't envy his margins, but I certainly hope to see more companies doing similar in the future. We need to make re-use cool and something to brag about.

Plastic is bad because it degrades into microplastic which is mechanically toxic to life (gets stuck in yer body). Why would you want to wear something toxic? That's like taking asbestos out of the walls and rubbing it on your body. Also, (machine) washing plastic clothes further degrades them into microplastics. Bad idea all around.

Hmm I'm a runner and pretty much everything I wear for running is plastic. The common advice I've gotten is to avoid cotton and it's worked well for me. Anywhere I can read more about this?

Not OP, But I've read about it recently. While, I'm not yet avoiding these products, it's cause for concern.

Cotton kills, definitely avoid that.

Modern merino wool is a super material, I've moved away from synthetic jerseys entirely. Substantially less stinky, works well in all temps, and not created from plastics.

Eventually we'll understand how to synthesize something as good or better than wool, but for now merino is where it's at.

Merino wool has downsides too. It stains more easily, is more expensive, is less durable, and gets eaten by bugs. IMO it's less comfortable too.

I'd like to know who is advising you against cotton, and why? Unless you are in a strange climate it's one of the best materials for clothing.

"Cotton kills" is a common refrain in rowing because when its wet in cold environments, it can lead to hypothermia. Additionally, cotton is very heavy in water. Basic water safety used to teach that you should strip down, even use your jeans as a flotation device.

Are you saying running clothing, or just clothing in general? Cotton for running chafes a solid amount, and doesn't wick moisture well.

I've tried running in cotton and it is not a pleasant experience, especially in high humidity or rainy conditions (very common where I live).

Silk and wool breaths and keeps fresh much longer without having to wash them all the time. Wool is the best IMHO.

I know microplastics are bad and stuff but I also have to recommend Got Bag (https://got-bag.com/), which is supposedly made out of recycled ocean plastic. I'm not sure if it is or isn't, but they make a great bag. I've had one for a few months now and it's held up well to being knocked around, no frayed material or even any significant scuffs, and it's at least water resistant (if not waterproof) in the rain.

Hi HN, I wanted to share a novel use of interactive video related to surgical research that we finished recently.

A group of surgeons at University College Dublin created a series of 17 interactive interactive videos where they provide the viewer with the patient details, allow them to observe the blood flow via a fluorescent dye, and then ask them to draw the location where they would make an incision or insert a stapler.

550+ responses were gathered from medical professionals in 8 countries around the world. Their paper is currently being reviewed for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

I’m happy to answer any questions or provide further details if of interest.

I love Chart.js. Thank you kindly for your time and effort.

Genius. Nice work.
