I believe this is the correct link. I use it too in Handy, for English and Spanish transcriptions: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3

I'm no windows fanboy and I don't doubt your experience, but I honestly don't understand how this can happen. I recently did three clean Win 11 reinstalls and I was done in an hour…

This is CANTV they are talking about. This is the company I requested a new phone line from and it took 9.5 years to get it installed. After waiting for 3 years, I gave up ended up…

It's 100x more difficult than you think it is. I come from a "semi-sanctioned" country, and it's extremely hard. Opening a bank account is impossible unless you can travel to the U…

See also the last presidential elections in Venezuela, where they did not even bother to pretend they did not steal the election, even under overwhelming evidence. A year later, we…

There are cases where Google might find a URL blocked in robots.txt (through external or internal links), and the page can still be indexed and show up in the search results, even …

Probably because in our countries (I'm also from S.America) the reliability of the post office is questionable at best, so it wasn't something I ever really used.

It's cne.gob.ve, and that doesn't work either. They want us to believe that because the website is down, the whole system that counts the votes is down. Hey, maybe the votes are co…

Hinterlaces is a government linked company, not exactly impartial.

Calling Hinterlaces "the most respected" is quiiiite a stretch. The owner Oscar Schemel, frequently parrots the govt propaganda talking points ("it's the evil empire, there's no in…

A lot of YouTube channels are getting hacked recently with the same "sponsorship offer" hack. Wonder if this was the case here as well. Paul Hibbert got hit recently. This video ha…

As a caracan myself, it's actually "caraqueños" :) Regarding the subject, it is indeed very popular. You can go to restaurants, car parts stores and clothing stores and find the Bi…

I don't know about the other numbers, but my wife has had two scheduled c-sections and the recovery for both suuucked when compared to everyone we know that had natural birth. Of c…

Yep that's it. I just didn't want it to look like I was shilling something in the comments :) Locally, Binance P2P is used a lot for remittances, and plenty of establishments use i…

From my own experience, you can use a very popular exchange that has a huge P2P marketplace, precisely for this.

I'm currently living the dictatorship in Venezuela. Ask me if you think Ciro's opinion is not valid, for whatever reason. (Don't know him btw. Epale Ciro!)

Regarding your question, I believe it's mostly down to corruption basically. Local businesses have huge markups because they have to deal with theft, paying off customs officials e…

Oh don't get me wrong, I totally understand your point as a seller. What's weird to me is that the seller gets blamed, even after the shipment is marked as delivered by UPS/Amazon …

I understand where you are coming from, but most of the time that's the only way people that live in south or central America can buy stuff online at decent prices. It's cheaper fo…

13 hours after your comment, 57 of the domains you've posted so far have been registered today. Only 6 were already registered. Nice! I would like to know how you came up with thes…

The sanctions on Venezuela have nothing to do with nationalization. Our oil industry was nationalized in 1976.

> The talks like "let's hurt the regular people so they revolt against Putin" As someone that comes from a sanctioned country, this is one important thing that most people that hav…

Venezuelan here: I have personally bought tuna and flour by the case as a way of hedging against inflation and scarcity. Of course, this last factor was the most important.

I used to listen to the podcast a lot before it went to Spotify. While Rogan is a self-admitted "ignorant", it was that aspect that made his interviews interesting and enjoyable. H…
