I have tried everything (that will run on a 12GB RTX 4070) and I have yet to find anything with better accuracy than Whisper V2 Large for my dataset (discord audio from TTRPG sessi…

Slightly off-topic but: does it concern you that you're letting atrophy a very important skill for human communication (organising your thoughts and ideas, and then clearly communi…

That's what I meant by other thought leadership things - that's all covering different niches. For what it's worth, I think you do useful work and are a respectible influencer. I'd…

>enough front-page posts that there's less value to him On the countrary I'd say it's probably even more important - without (amongst doing other "thought leader" things) getting o…

"Damaged" is a bit of an understatement, if the photos[0] are accurate (positions do look consistent between different photos so doesn't seem like AI to me) 0: https://xcancel.com/…

Yeah, they do very much need an editor (I suppose it was tagged as a #rant!) The thing I found interesting (and I've not really observed much) is they're complaining about people w…

Would you elaborate what you mean by saying Linux on an M-series chip isn't straightforward? That's not been my experience, I (and lots of other devs) use it every day, Apple suppo…

GPU encoding is fast, but usually it produces poorer quality results because it avoids trying paths that are hard to do quickly on the GPU. If you want to optimise, try different e…

Sounds like the pitch writes itself, "you'd better spend a lot of token money with us before the bad guys do it to you..."

I couldn't parse the intended meaning from "lack of commitment to no longer commiting crimes"), so here's a response that just answers the question raised. Do you regard the justic…

I assume this is a jailbreak / exfiltration detection condition triggering, I wonder if it would do the same if you started speaking to it in base64

>does this limit the agent's ability to run standard Linux tooling? Or are you relying on the AI to just figure out the BSD/macOS equivalents of standard commands? Slightly counter…

I assume that will be better than whisper - I haven't benchmarked it against cloud models, the project I'm working on cannot send data out to cloud models

For my inputs, whisper distil-large-v3.5 is the best. I tried Parakeet 0.6 v3 last night but it has higher error rates than I'd like (but it is fast...)

>In June 2025, 56% of people in Great Britain thought it was the wrong decision It's not so clear when you consider that 48.1% of the original referendum voters wanted to stay in t…

That's helpful to know, thanks! I gave Max 5x a go and didn't look back. My suspicion is that Opus 4.5 is subsidised, so good to know there's flexibility if prices go up.

>Even with brew, the brew maintainers have already audited the code Realistically, how much are they auditing? I absolutely agree with your sentiment that it's better than a binary…

>And what do you even mean by "prepare"? Not the person you're responding to but... if you think it's a horse -> car change (and, to stretch the metaphor, if you think you're in th…

If they're using Opus then it'll be the $100/month Claude Max 5x plan (could be the more expensive 20x plan depending on how intensive their use is). It does consume a lot of token…

>the best way to install these tools is to build it yourself, i.e. make install, etc. And you're fully auditing the source code before you run make, right? I don't know anyone who …
