  Without a Github link?

  The other linked "oh fuck" article https://ghuntley.com/oh-fuck/ where it supposedly converts https://github.com/RustAudio/cpal at least has a linked video. As far as I can see, based on that video's file tree/Haskell files - its not exactly doing what's described in the article. I'll extrapolate from there...

  Listen close, please. The end goal of AI coding assistants is not

  > convert this rust library at https://github.com/RustAudio/cpal/tree/master to a haskell library using ghc2024.

  The end goal is something more like

  > Build me a website where users can make and share a link to a text document like a shopping list and edit it collaboratively

  This guy thinks LLMs are so great, but if he grew up with LLMs, not only would he not have the skill set to competently ask the LLM to produce that output, he wouldn't have any idea the output he's trying to produce.

  OpenAI, Google, Microsoft are not trying to sell the idea of helping out your senior engineers. They are trying to sell the idea that any of your interns could be senior engineers, so that you no longer have to pay for expensive senior engineers.

  There is a cross-platform audio library for Rust: cpal https://github.com/rustaudio/cpal

• Read the voice from the microphone for accessibility

  cpal crate should work fine for this use case, though it might be unnecessarily low-level for your use case.

  I had to do something similar to this a while back. I used cpal.

• What’s everyone working on this week (including AoC, 51/2021)?

  Working on a live performance software that would let our band have live real-time practices over the internet. Top priority is minimum latency, so I'm trying to hook it up through ASIO. Not much luck yet. I've tried cpal, but I've run into numerous known random bugs (and some versions don't compile for me). At least I confirmed that I can push the audio through a TCP socket successfully.

• How to read out decibels from default audio input device?
  1 project | /r/rust | 27 Sep 2021

  With https://github.com/RustAudio/cpal you can access the microphone in a cross platform way, but you’ll get values of range [-1,1] out only. To calculate absolute decibels you would need to calibrate for your specific microphone with a known source.
