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 🤷

Three-year-old asked the nine-year-old what solitude is.
Nine said, “It’s like loneliness, except you like it.”

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...

Everyone just went to the cloud because they were sick of their fingers getting pinched by these fuckers.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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