I also tried and failed here. We ran our own speech engine with a custom model- but it's extremely expensive as a cloud service, and incredibly tough to reach acceptably high accuracy in different environments. Adding NLP on top of err

I worked on this for a couple years during a previous startup attempt. I designed a custom STT model via Kaldi [0] and hosted it using a modified version of this server [1]. I deployed it to a 4GB EC2 instance with configurable docker layer

Note for the would-be-users of this approach: Chrome does not save your history infinitely, it only saves the last 90 days. I use an extension called Tabs Outliner to get around this problem. Firefox, on the other hand, will save history un

It's worth noting that regardless of this development, hydrogen fuel cells still do not work well in sub-zero temperatures unless they are operated in perpetuum. When you decide to shut down your fuel cell and the temperature of the sy

Sridhar (the CEO) is a partner at Greylock Ventures. I'm sure this is not the standard sort of "entrepeneur under the VC's foot" type of situation.

From Wikipedia: For higher magnetic fields, higher-performance, but more expensive and less easily fabricated superconductors, such as niobium-tin, are commonly employed.

If influencers choose to work with advertisers, then jeopardize their circle's trust due to advertiser affiliation, they would lose that trust. It self-corrects; as long as the system doesn't reinforce the network effect.

A bit of a double meaning here too: Rust is actually just hematite (ferric oxide), which is a type of iron ore!

This is awesome. Does the Google speech-to-text API work well for your needs? How often do you use it?

I do wonder if you're joking when you say "some" controversy. A quick check of property values shows that these are estates in the $5M - $20M range: https://www.zillow.com/homes/Atherton-CA_rb/

All code could be constructed as a Perl one-liner. Or minified. There is a point where reduction = obfuscation. AFAIK, it's harder to hit that point using IRL organic languages, but TBH people abuse acronyms while coding. IANAL and YMM

Taking up way too much space on mobile with the distracting CTA. Stopped reading when I couldn't close the popup on my phone. Might try again later on my desktop, if you promise to remove that at some point :)

It's pointing towards goatse.ru After enough time on the internet, I'm thoroughly afraid to click that link. Can anyone confirm if that's a real sci-hub link, or has someone actually manipulated this site to point at goatse?
