I think a lot of people have heard of OpenAI’s local-friendly Whisper model, but I don’t see enough self-hosters talking about WhisperX, so I’ll hop on the soapbox:
Whisper is extremely good when you have lots of audio with one person talking, but fails hard in a conversational setting with people talking over each other. It’s also hard to sync up transcripts with the original audio.
Enter WhisperX: WhisperX is an improved whisper implementation that automatically tags who is talking, and tags each line of speech with a timestamp.
I’ve found it great for DMing TTRPGs — simply record your session with a conference mic, run a transcript with WhisperX, and pass the output to a long-context LLM for easy session summaries. It’s a great way to avoid slowing down the game by taking notes on minor events and NPCs.
I’ve also used it in a hacky script pipeline to bulk download podcast episodes with yt-dlp, create searchable transcripts, and scrub ads by having an LLM sniff out timestamps to cut with ffmpeg.
Privacy-friendly, modest hardware requirements, and good at what it does. WhisperX, apply directly to the forehead.
Now that's an interesting angle. I am a mediocre musician on my best day, but sometimes I incorporate phrases and lyric snippits in a piece. I wonder if I could use WhisperX to find those words or phrases from a stack of songs. For instance, I did a piece that used a line from Jimi Hendrix's 'If 6 were 9' where he says 'I'm the one who's gotta die when it's time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.' I wonder if WhisperX could pick that out of a stack of Jimi Hendrix songs.

People get together at random for the experience they are involved with. For instance, some friends were hashers. They get together for a crosscountry style run and drink beer afterwards and then go home. My friends met hashing and later married. In conversations about the activity, the connections they had with others doing the same were mostly only activity based and did not extend out from there. Hook ups were frequent among some, but my friends experience was an outlier.
Jack Dorsey, cofundador do Twitter, lançou o #Bitchat, um aplicativo de mensagens que funciona via Bluetooth, sem internet, sinal de celular ou servidores. O app é descentralizado, criptografado de ponta a ponta e não exige cadastro nem coleta dados pessoais. As mensagens são transmitidas por uma rede entre os próprios celulares, formando uma malha (mesh) que pode cobrir até 300 metros. Podendo ser usado em locais com restrição de sinal, protestos ou situações de emergência, o Bitchat também conta com um modo que apaga todos os dados do dispositivo com três toques. A versão beta está disponível para iOS e macOS.
@pBaesse gente, pra que usar mensageiro de bilionário, ainda mais um defensor da liberdade de expressão ilimitada, quando já tínhamos o Briar? Além disso, o Briar é de código aberto.
@cadusilva @kennergf @briar boy, fico puto demais com isso. Pq ele não contribuiu e divulga o projeto, mas não. Ele tem fazer o dele para ter controle e mais notoriedade
Bilionário ex-Twitter diz que seu novo mensageiro "seguro" não passou por testes de segurança e pesquisadores já encontraram falhas nele https://techcrunch.
Lembrei uma campanha da FSF não relacionada mas cujo título é "Deceptive by Design" 🤷♂️
Suponho que esse troço vai ter sucesso e talvez a divulgação de tal falha seja até proposital para visibilidade. Depois, 🐛 se resolve, mas o povo já fica conhecendo.
Assim como já faz mais popularidade o céu azul do que o :fediverso: que está aí há muitos anos.
@pBaesse por isso tinha visto alguns posts sobre esse Bitchat. Quando tem bilionário no meio, a imprensa de tecnologia corre pra anunciar :ms_laughing:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the ... Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.
The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.
This is, of course, a lie. There is no tax reduction in that bill for SS recipients.
Yeah I got that lie too... evidently he has the Social Security Head in his collection of corrupted government positions spreading lies about the tax bill etc.

I think you won't regret it. If the container startup installs stuff, you might lock yourself out when the remote server has issues, your network has issues, or if the package you install changes due to an update.
With it baked into an image, you have reproducible results. If you build a new image and it doesn't work anymore, you can immediately switch back to the old one and figure out the issue without pressure.

NEW: Over the weekend, Jack Dorsey launched an open-source chat app called Bitchat, which he promised to be “secure” and “private.”
He then later added a warning that the app not been tested or reviewed for security issues, asking people not to trust it as "it does not necessarily meet its stated security goals."
Security researchers are already finding flaws in it.
404 Media - ICE agents have gained access to a massive database of health and car insurance claims and are using it to track down people they want to deport. 404media.co/ice-is-searching-a…
The database, called ISO ClaimSearch, is nearly all encompassing and contains details on more than 1.8 billion insurance claims and 58 million medical bills.
Searching gives me the impression there's a million ways to solve the same problem on Linux, and I find myself profiling answers into about four categories at a glance:
Succinct: one or two-liner, a single config file, or just a few clicks
Long-winded song-and-dance: Full train of thought interspersed between various commands and logs, several config files (some of which don't already exist), or installing an obscure package that is no longer maintained
Specific to a desktop environment or version I don't have
Just looks wrong
I'll usually just take solutions from the first category, which almost always works, save for differences between updates and versions. Solutions in the second category also seem to end with a 50% chance of the OP unable to solve the problem. If I'm desperate, I'll try the second one, but it often ends up not working, eventually leading me to come up with a much cleaner solution of my own.
Curious if anyone else does this too and if those one-liners are really better solutions or if it's just confirmation bias.
I find i to look on forums for solutions less and less anyway. Once you've been using a distro long enough unless your trying to do something you've never done before it's usually pretty simple to know what's wrong, and fix it. Because you'll get the same things popping up over and over again.
I also like to keep like a little doc of fixes I've done on each computer so that if a year later i need to do a version upgrade or reinstall i can look back to it, and see what i did last time if i get repeat issues. Especially useful on stuff like laptops where you'll have really specific hardware issues that reappear years later, and normally take hours and hours of trying to figure out what is broken.
Treat the response like you would of an LLM, it needs to make sense to you, you need to make sure they aren't messing with you or have given you a fix that only works in their case. Usually the best fixes are the simple ones. And it seems like even with the longer ones you're able to figure out your simple fixes which is awesome!
Kind of funny how quickly we've flipped from "you should treat LLM output like advice from a random stranger" to "you should treat advice from a random stranger like LLM output".
Either way, it's the right idea. If you can't understand what you're doing but you do it anyway, you're going to create all kinds of problems for yourself.
In a round about way, that does fix the problem you have, though. Just randomly changing things or installing/uninstalling packages until the whole OS is borked and you have to reinstall thereby clearing the problem.
Doesn't teach how to fix the problem, but at least they'll get real proficient with setting up new system partitions.
The difference between workable and non-workable usually boils down to whether I can understand each step and how they arrived at their solution(that is, can I fix my own fuck-up if I miss a step or impliment it wrong for my own situation), which I will know pretty quickly. That said, with my limitted knowlege, I can still spot the 50% that have no chance in hell of working pretty quickly.
OTOH, if a solution is succinct, upvoted, and still looks wrong, I'm at least going to look into the problem further with that as a reference point before I write it off completely.
First hit is a thread describing your exact problem, marked as [SOLVED]. Clicking it goes to a 404.
Second hit is a thread describing your exact problem that goes to an actual thread, but the message has been edited to just say "Solved" with no record of what was done.
Third hit is a thread describing almost your exact problem, with the first response calling the poster a noob for asking and then 15 pages of arguments.
Fourth hit is a thread describing something in the same general area as your problem, which you try anyway and makes the thing you're trying to fix break in a different way, but it's progress at least.
Actual solution is somewhere between the 5th and 8th hit, or you give up and come back to it in about a week and solve it instantly without trying for some fucking reason.
So to answer the question, I can usually tell I'm getting close to the solution when I say "Oh for fuck's sake" as I'm closing tabs lol.
I love to go with just rip out what ever is broken never look at it again and till eventually forgetting something was broken reinstalling what ever I ripped out only for everything to work again
Despite trying to reinstall things like 3 times before.
The key is you HAVE to forget about the problem or it knows your trying to trick it and it breaks it self again!
“The notes of the Countess of Lovelace extend to about three times the length of the original memoir,” Babbage wrote later. “Their author has entered fully into almost all the very difficult and abstract questions connected with the subject.” Her comments highlight the link she found between the machine and the Jacquard loom. This loom used punched cards to automatically create images and Babbage’s Analytical Engine would do the same with numbers."
The thrilling adventures of Lovelace and Babbage by Sydney Padua is an awesome comic book, with a plethora of real life information about Lovelace and Babbage and their time in the footnotes.
It's one of my favourite books for the Steampunk alternate universe fun and the real life facts.

I have a question for the autism experts who think vaccines don't cause autism: why is there a dose dependency? That is, for a given age range, the more shots, the more autism.
For kids with no shots, the rates of autism are at least 5X lower than those with all shots which is consistent with multiple studies.

Obviously not a nuke, since we are still alive here. But the dogs were terrified and wanted back in the house right away.
It was either a large amateur firework (they couldn't use it on July 4, because it was pouring down rain), or a stray lightning strike. A bright flash and loud boom!
Last time there was a big bang, it was a propane leak while a homeowner was doing some repairs.

I can't believe a country owned by Jews would send white people to war against their own kind and then replace them all with Indians. I'm shocked!
But no, it's not because of the denomination, Orthodox Jews are just like the rest when it comes to their master plan of world domination. In fact, they're just like Orthodox Christians.
