Oh, I don't think so either, but if you think back to the asm.js times, there was a clear goal of "simple and higher perf", but now it's going in a direction for maximum compatibility with existing stacks (GC, WASI, etc)

WASM is cool; I've started implemented a CPU that runs unmodified WASM in Verilog, but I'm finding the feature creep on the instruction set (SIMD, GC) to take away from the initial values behind WASM (simple, small)

Nice article! Do you have a board to experiment on or is this all on QEMU? I've been wanting to try one of the Banana Pi boards, but I think it's going to be _quite_ painful

what model do you use for speech to text?

by deivid 2y ago
What was the model? What kind of performance did you get out of it? Could you share a link to your project, if it is public?

I would be very interested if someone is aware of any small/tiny models to perform OCR, so the app can translate pictures as well

Not sure it qualifies, but I've started building an Android app that wraps bergamot[0] (the firefox translation models) to have on-device translation without reliance on google. Bergamot is already used inside firefox, but I wanted tra

The APIs these vendors provide are a joke. A bunch of functionality can only be accessed via scripting interactive CLI commands. Some API endpoints cause short downtime / unexpected behavior (eg: by deleting the routing table and addin

I understand the value of something like this for seasonal businesses / black friday / etc; but for normal companies, how likely is it to _suddenly_ blow up in traffic? If you are lucky enough to have your company go viral and rec

IMO, the dev workflow is significantly worse, integration testing is harder and I don't see the value on "scale to zero", when the alternative is a $5/mo VPS.

Have you compared it to sitting on a yoga ball?

It seems well written to me, maybe you are not the target audience.

Not sure what your host OS is, if Linux, QEMU can pass usb devices to the guest. Otherwise you could pipe serial over TCP

Tried to use on mobile firefox, but seems to be doing something very CPU intensive, doesn't respond for ~10s then the tab crashes

I think it's significantly less than 50% -- Your comment made me think of The dictatorship of the small minority[0], which places the value at 3~4% [0]: https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict.

Thanks for this, I was looking to upgrade my VF2 but I'm not sure it's worth it at this stage, the VF2 is painfully slow, and this board doesn't reach 2x perf

LEDs with a low color rendering index (CRI) make everything look "flat" and even "fake". It's hard to describe.

In Amsterdam, you usually don't cycle more than ~3km for a "normal destination" (groceries, a generic bar or cafe, stores) and in general, ~7km is the limit for "specific destinations" (going to bar X, ), above that

I started dabbling with FPGAs but having issues finding boards with open toolchains and high* speed peripherals (ethernet and/or PCIe), for now I'm using the Gowin boards with Yosys but they are not the best to get started
