alt Hacker NewsVery grateful that OpenAI published the article/publicized their usage of Pion[0] a library I work on. If you aren't familiar with WebRTC it's a super fun space. I work on a book WebRTC for the Curious [1] that details how it works.

Appreciate you putting the entire book online!
I read parts of it a while ago when I had an idea on using webRTC data channels to pass data from databases to browser clients via a CLI. Your book made me understand that it's probably not a great fit for my use case. I just used a centralized control plane and websockets instead.
I still feel like there is something fun that we can do with webRTC data channels + zero copy Apache Arrow arraybuffers + duckdb WASM, but haven't figured it out yet
I used pion and it was fantastic. Most of the article seems pretty standard webrtc techniques for performant voice.
Thanks for WebRTC for the Curious and for Pion! Not using the latter directly, but have used both to better understand WebRTC
slightly unrelated but what’s with storing the entire codebase in the root directory instead of a nested src folder? It makes getting to the README a lot more difficult
Only a software dev would start their referencing at 0 lol
I use pion thanks for making it!
Curious if you thought their approach was necessary, it seemed like a ton of complexity to reduce one of the faster parts of a voice AI setup. Having a fast model and accurate VAD seems way more important than fine tuning WebRTC transit times.
