Similar experience for me and at this point it's just a collection of private chats. Different groups use different platforms (mine are on iMessage, Whatsapp, Signal, Slack, and.. actually Messenger although apparently Facebook is taki

Do you have experience with that model for diarization? Does it feel accurate, and what's its realtime factor on a typical GPU? Diarization has been the biggest thorn in my side for a long time..

Seriously. I didn't even realize this was a wide issue, but I couldn't find a school enrolment email I was looking for this morning, and found it in the spam folder. The fact that I basically never have to do this is actually amaz

I've heard this, and I've even seen it in plenty of poorly performing businesses, but I've never actually seen it in a highly performing, profitable tech company. Other than at the new grad level but it's treated as net-

1. Uh, isn't 2000 like extremely fucking good? 2. I played a chess bot on Delta on easy and it was really bad, felt like random moves. I beat it trivially and I am actually bad at chess, ~1000 on chess.com. I wonder if this one is diff

Can you independently set desktop wallpapers on the two screens? I know this seems nitpicky but it's literally impossible with Ubuntu/Gnome as far as I know; I have one vertical and one horizontal and have to just go with a solid

> People usually use C++ or Julia. All of the fastest answers are in Julia That's surprising to me and piques my interest. What sort of pipeline is this that's faster in Julia than C++? Does Julia automatically use something li

I once built a music game that basically ran entirely on SVG. We hacked Musescore to attach the same UUID to both the note head in SVG and the MusicXML object in two different output modes, and then used that to synchronise the sheet music

How is their managed Kubernetes product nowadays? I've realized all I really use on GCP and AWS is managed Kubernetes and Postgres, and I feel like I must be overpaying particularly for GPU instances.

Fair, but then that functionality should be built into the flagging system. Obvious AI comments (worse, ones that are commercially driven) are a cancer that's breaking online discussion forums.

I strongly agree with this sentiment and I feel the same way. The one exception for me though is when non-native English speakers want to participate in an English language discussion. LLMs produce by far the most natural sounding translati

Honestly being able to use emacs movements everywhere is one of the reasons I stay on MacOS.

I think that's true about Bach's instrumental music, but his big sacred works like his Passions and the Mass in B minor are as "romantic" as the Baroque period gets. Like OP, I think of these works as basically the pinna

Nvidia's Linux software is first rate -- actually a large amount of the software that would merit buying an Nvidia graphics card is Linux-only anyway. I actually briefly had an AMD card but ended up giving it away since it didn't

It's a reasonable question! I'm past the baby monitor stage now, but when we used our Nanit from a different network it was for things like: * Doing garage or yard work where Wifi coverage was spotty. May seem like an edge case bu

Ok that’s really cool; I didn’t know you could set up Apple’s smart home thingy to forward a live feed to the cloud.

by sbrother 1y ago
I tried a high end Philips one and a Nest camera. Both were way less reliable than the Nanit. Possibly because they didn’t play nicely with my mesh WiFi at home. But regardless I just wanted to vouch for Nanit’s software, whatever they ar

Yeah that’s fair, we had one of those too which absolutely did everything it advertised. The nanit is a different product that doubles as a home camera that lets you monitor your home while you’re away. Its software/networking is impre

As a happy customer, I picked nanit because it actually worked. We didn’t even use the “smart” features, but “you can turn on the app from anywhere you happen to be and expect the video feed to work” is unfortunately a bar that no competito

right, but either whatever audio tokenization it's doing doesn't seem to encode pitch, or there's ~nothing where pitch is relevant in the training set.

I don't think it's just safeguards; they really don't seem to understand pitch at all. I tried asking ChatGPT's advanced voice mode to recognize a tune I was humming, and it insisted it was Beethoven's 5th -- multip

Hey thanks, this looks great. I'm still on Paw but I've been looking for something new since it's been languishing as "RapidAPI" for years.

Is that process that can happen online? Or does it require the patient being physically present in Canada?

That sounds great. How well does the base OS + "pet" containers work with all the crazy dependencies you need to do modern ML work, e.g. some exact combination of nvidia drivers + CUDA + torch + other random stuff? That's the

Some forms of kernel anticheat make dual booting harder, too. I can’t play valorant since that version of Vanguard requires secure boot, which doesn’t seem to work with my dual boot setup unless I invest more time fiddling than I care to. E

Wait, is that a product that one can buy? It sounds like it would solve most of my issues with Windows.

That's the workaround I've used. I still want to be able to just press command F and see "error" highlighted throughout the scrollback.
