No, even on RPi 3 both pocketsphinx and Kaldi are very slow to the point of not being responsive enough for real use.

If there are floating point numbers in those csvs, I sped up a system like that 10x just by writing a custom (Java equivalent of) atof() that didn't do variable decimal separators and scientific notation. That's not even counting

I've worked on a hobby ballistics simulator for some time now. This is of course a well studied field, with military applications going back hundreds of years. What's interesting (well, it was to me) is that the state if the art i

Are you talking about sausage? Because herbs aren't for preservation in sausages. The 'natural' preservative in sausages is celery, which has nitrate, which is then converted to nitrite during curing. 'Biological' s

Also, putting your cursor on a keyword, hitting F1, and getting the right result immediately . If I let myself I get so frustrated and angry by the massive regressions we've made over the last 20 years.

What Zigbee devices can you buy apart from Hue lamps? ZWave has been dominant for many years because there are hardly any Zigbee devices, be it in the US or in the EU. FWIW I'm in the Netherlands and have all ZWave, and when you look a

I actually put this in my Ali Express basket last week, but I'm still on the fence about actually ordering it or not. My experiences with Ali Express key caps are hit and miss. Then again I probably shouldn't be posting complaints

So I have a samsung tv, and I like the apps - I use the youtube one every day, and several others several times a week. How do I leverage the gdpr to find out who knows what about me?

I'm sure you come at this with good intentions, but god do I hate low effort 'advice' like this. Basically you're saying 'just make everything better, that'll be great!'. No shit Sherlock, I'm sure no

You can do that on a uhk too, but then you don't have printed keys. Which is okayish for the numbers themselves, but not the operators.

Oh wow I didn't know about the G903 (not sure how I missed that for almost 3 years), I think I should try it. Although my wrist does like the slight slant of the MX Master. I used to switch between hands 10+ years ago, but gave it up o

The problem is that you need to be able to touch type, but also know how to not touch type, i.e. actually knowing what character is where, when entering passwords, regular expressions etc. I can touch type, but I have no idea where all th

Only if you can find them with the labeling like you have your keyboard set up. It's the reason I switched away from Ergodox. If only someone would offer high quality custom keycaps, with double or triple labeling, using actual double

shrug You're entitled to your opinion of course, but my point was that there is no objective measure for past sets being better, there's anecdotal evidence that (at least some) kids enjoy legos as much as I/we did 30 years

I wonder if in modern times, now that labor is so much more expensive than bricks, it would still be economical. Building a brick wall costs (here in Western Europe) around e40/m2 in labor, and e25 in material for a cheap brick. So bui
