Wayland runs fine on my Ryzen 2500U (kernel 5.4, Debian 10) and on the Radeon RX 470 (kernel 4.19, Debian 10), both using AMDGPU.

Architecture emulation like QEMU provides is commonly used, just a matter of how much investment is made into backwards compatibility by those who build your operating system/platform. Apple works hard to break backwards compatibility

Mozilla DeepSpeech has streaming audio support as of a few releases ago, the word error rate has also improved. I would recommend looking at Vosk too, it converts speech to text much faster than Mozilla DeepSpeech while having slightly bett

If current Stripe customers wish to switch to another processor like Vantiv, First Data, Chase Paymentech, etc will Stripe enable data migration from your ISO to another ISO? I did this when moving from a First Data ISO to Vantiv to ensure

Considering the Durbin Amendment capped debit card processing at 0.05% and $0.21 per transaction, and interchange pricing for credit cards ranges from 0.65% to 2.4% plus a few cents for the auth fee, it is pure profiteering that PayPal and

What issues have you had with Wayland? Switching to it has given me a tear free experience on both AMD & Intel laptops, besides that it performs similar to X11.

I have had a similar experience with my laptop that uses a Ryzen 5 Pro 2500U, it would crash once every couple days under Windows, but no such issue crops up using mainline drivers on Debian.

That would have been really helpful to know somewhere on the website. The website is rather context free, are users supposed to scan the QR code in an app (eg: FreeOTP+, Zoiper, etc) or just use it as a means to get a link for use in Safari

Based on the testing I just did with Vosk, Mozilla DeepSpeech, Google Speech to Text and Microsoft Azure, I disagree with your arugment that SaaS has the best quality results. Mozilla DeepSpeech was definitely trailing the bleeding edge, bu

DeepSpeech and Vosk can accept audio files, although each wants them formatted in a slightly different mono WAV format. See my other comment for a comparison of the two: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24248238

Comparing DeepSpeech v0.7.4 to Vosk using plain spoken English samples from male and female speakers, they seem to be performing the same if I use vosk-model-small-en-us-0.3 and the full size DeepSpeech model. When I use vosk-model-en-us-d

Said 8 GPU server was consistently in use for Mozilla DeepSpeech (now renamed Mozilla STT) in training models. Its impressive how far Mozilla got considering how limited their resources were.

Centurylink has pulled quite a bit of fiber in Seattle over the last 3 years, but their expansion plans are erratic (eg: putting a 12 port GPON aerial terminal in the middle of blocks of 4 story MDUs that aren't allowed to use it) and

The cost of the labor to build and maintain said cable makes it economically infeasible for a second ISP to build out service in many areas of the US. Permissive regulation will only enable competition in urban cores, as being a 3rd or 4th

Don't forget that Google embedded Duo into the Google Play Framework so even if you disabled or uninstalled the app, people could still call you via Duo.

Mozilla DeepSpeech is rapidly maturing, but it needs thousands of hours of validated audio data to train each language. Its a feat that with only 2000 hours of audio they can achieve a 5.97% word error rate. Baidu had 5000 hours of audio da

Mozilla DeepSpeech is trained on about 2000 hours of audio that is mostly spoken by American males. It has little ability to handle noise or accents and has a 5.97% Word Error Rate on LibriVox (which is noiseless, plain spoken english). Mea

The audio Mozilla DeepSpeech is trained on is not very large (about 2000 hours) or diverse (eg: mostly native American English Male voices) and has very little ability to handle noise, accents or other errata. Comparatively, Baidu had 5000

If ARM revokes the license granted to Arm China, presumably neither TSMC or Samsung will make chips for Arm China, leaving them with just SMIC's 14nm process. Not a great place to be as a fabless chip firm! Further development by SMIC

Quality education for every student would be held by many as a human right, hence countries like Finland where all schools are required to charge no fee, and the public education system is superb.

How so? Aren't you still trapped on Xorg with their proprietary drivers? I switched to Wayland a few years back as vsync is quite nice to have, but whenever I go back to Xorg for AnyDesk or TeamViewer on AMD or Intel there is a fair bi

AMD supported Radeon & AMDGPU rather than releasing their own drivers, there is no reason Nvidia can't provide documentation and a simple open source firmware for their GPUs. We could care less about the hacks and cludges baked int

MIPS sure didn't, same for SPARC. CPU architectures can effectively die in a handful of years just like MySpace, Delicious, Digg and such.

This divestiture happened long ago, if your running Linux not on a server, then Intel and AMD are the only players making chips that work right out of the box. Even there though, only Intel has a buttery smooth experience. Ryzen for laptops

What you call underfeatured many would call correctly featured. A more complex format doesn't add value for most use cases, while being harder to reason with and correct issues in. .md files avoid the copy paste font/size mess by

Yes, federating child porn or threats will cause other instances to block media content and perhaps toots from your instance, as other instance admins do not want to babysit filtering what your instance relays to theirs.
