Would be rather impressive if true though

Ik ben in 2019 van België naar Zuid-Afrika verhuisd, wat geen zomeruur/winteruur kent.

Toen ik in België woonde, dacht ik dat ik voor het verzetten van de klok ongeveer een week nodig had om mee terug op 'normaal' te zetten.

Ik weet nu beter. Sinds een half jaar of zo na mijn verhuis word ik elke dag consistent wakker op het zelfde uur. Dat lukte mij voordien niet.

Een uur verzetten kost je een stuk meer dan dat uurtje!

Norwegian car in Kirkenes, 15km from the Russian border...

First time in my life I have two pending trips at the same time.

On holiday currently with the return flight still happening, and a work trip to happen late next month 🤷

The world: whales are almost extinct! We should protect them!

Norway and Japan: but "Science"

Norway, really:

Looks like they're a 3 star hotel who called themselves 'the 5 star hotel' and have a score of 4 stars in whoever's review system?

Yes if you're okay with a 3 star hotel operated by 'clever' people I guess...

Heretic.

COBOL is (very irrationally) the reason why I don't do Python these days.

It also supports 'symlink', which is a load of fun if you're trying to share with people running Windows.

Y'all locals would prefer to go to a bar and not be 'incremented' though.

People translate fiction by machine and then *sell* the result?

Thank you for making my faith in humanity go down another notch. Yet again.

Not that Andy Weir's novels are terrible (I've read them! They're awesome!) but how it's fair that 2 out of 3 of his novels are (being) made into movies while @scalzi 's much larger set of works has not seen one despite multiple options being bought, I will never know.

I WANT A REDSHIRTS MOVIE!
I WANT AN EMPEROX TV SERIES!

Not even mentioning old man's war.

If someone with the budget and experience to make this happen were to, they'd have my eternal gratitude.

That is all.

@lieter
None whatsoever at this point. This is part of it being an experiment 😉

@mirabilos
Audio transcription is not an LLM. I don't know how much power OpenAI spent training whisper models, because honestly I don't care. That said, this type of thing was possible with the state of the art 20 years ago, so I can't imagine it needed that much.

Thanks for the feedback (I know I did ask), but EOT for me.
@fosdem

@mirabilos
Maybe do some research before assuming 'AI' == power wastage? The tiny model is small enough that you can use it to transcribe live audio on a raspberry pi.
@fosdem

This year, as an experiment, we're also generating vtt subtitles of all released videos at @fosdem. These are generated after publishing of the video using OpenAI whisper.

I would love to get feedback about these subtitles. Are people using them? Are they useful?

As they're plain text files, it should also be possible to perform some analysis at scale on the contents of all the talks that were performed at FOSDEM. If anyone is doing something like this, please let me know!

It's not a bug. This is covered in our FAQ:

https://video.fosdem.org/2025/FAQ.txt

Anyway, review.video.fosdem.org is busily processing files now, things will be available soon (I hope).

#tfw you spend four hours tracking down a bug in prod and you end up finding https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-video-team/sreview/-/commit/9e080ee6464b4da264ad9fb279ca055e294aaee8 ... 🤦

Campus Solbosch I am in you. #FOSDEM
