You can run it locally, and it's really fast. But since YouTube transcription is really good, I don't see why you'd use Whisper and get a worse transcription (unless maybe it's on videos that Google did not transcribe fo

Have you talked to any startups? Young hungry folks were historically valued at startups, especially ones who have some OGs who can spare bandwidth to onboard / grow new hires, though maybe the game has changed.

How is it a point against the patent if the paper was written by someone under the employment of Shazam? Isn't the point of the patent to award the innovator with the right to profit from the innovation?

Yeah, it's a reasonable expectation since the blog highlights it. Just figure it's worth calling out that SOTA trackers are able to deal with object disappearance well enough that when used with this it would handle things. I'

It looks like it’s working to me. Segmentation isn’t supposed to be used for tracking alone. If you add tracking on top, the uncertainty in the estimated mask for the white ball (which is sometimes getting confused with the wall) would be a

If you work on a big team, collaboration is everything. Figma enables collaboration in a way that very few other tools allow. SOTA before Figma was sketch files in dropbox or emailing them back and forth. A lot of commenters here are lament

I was going for something between YMMW and "whatever you say." The slight tilt toward the latter was received poorly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's just how I talk. Maybe it's generational.

You're being insecure. It's not rude to disagree. Also, there's often no perfect combo of words, there's a spectrum of options and you just pick an operating point. Transcription is a longer word than "word" so
