Hung Truong: The Blog!

Adding Features to My Blog With Antigravity

I’ve been using Google Antigravity as my main AI-powered IDE for the past month or two. But something tells me I’ll probably switch soon, as Google keeps making it less and less useful. In the meantime, though, I’ve added a ton of new features to my blog, and I figured I’d write about some of them.

Adding Audio to My Blog With Qwen3-TTS Voice Cloning

I saw a note in my daily AI newsletter about a new TTS model that was out. I spent a better part of the day testing out its capabilities and attempting to do some fine tuning on it.

I’ve had a goal for a pretty long time to add audio versions that people can use to listen to each of my blog posts. But rather than narrate them myself, I wanted the audio to be computer generated. Not only that, but I wanted it to sound like I was actually doing the narrating. So far, any of the models that I’ve tried to accomplish this haven’t lived up to the high standards of quality that you’re used to seeing on my blog. So did Qwen3-TTS finally make the grade?

How Low Can Wegovy?

I recently started taking one of these trendy weight loss pills, and since my blog always gets spam comments from people trying to sell the stuff, I figured I could just make a whole post about it. That way the rest of my blog posts will be safe from spam, right?

It’s been about a week since I started taking the wegovy pill which just came out this year. I think I literally got it about a week after it was officially available. I had seen an article about how this new oral form was recently approved, and I did a bit of research on it. Before that, I had been pretty uninterested in taking it, but the more I read about how the drug actually worked, the more interested I was in it.

First Impressions of OpenAI's Sora 2 + App

OpenAI just released a new version of Sora, their video generation model. I spammed reload on a thread on Reddit to get an invite code last night, and quickly hit the rate limit (it was 71 videos)! Here’s my first impressions on the new app and model.

The main features of Sora 2 (and the new app) are that you can make short form (like 10 second) videos just by prompting, and you can also insert yourself into videos. This is pretty interesting because previously you’d have to either train a LoRA (like I did) or maybe use a static image of yourself as a starting frame which would inevitably drift away from looking like you.

Cleaning out my bookmarks

I was adding a bookmarklet to my web browser this morning (to auto-click on American Express offers) and was trying to figure out how to organize it so it’s easy to click when I want to find it. I realized that I have like a billion bookmarks that I’ve added to my bookmarks bar, etc, but I almost never directly use any of my bookmarks.

I figured I should clean out my browser bookmarks and organize them since it’s been a while since I’ve touched them. I realized that I haven’t really been adding bookmarks to anything, since I mostly just go to Reddit or a handful of other websites that just show me new stuff.

In our current fast paced world, I can’t even imagine reading something and then wanting to go back and read it again…
