I get the O’Reilly subscription through the ACM. It’s an extra $75 a year after a regular ACM membership. A lot less than $500/year.
For those curious about the ACM membership: https://www.acm.org/membership/membership-options

For this use case, why not use Whisper to transcribe the audio, and then an LLM to do a second step (summarization or answering questions or whatever)?
If you need diarization, you can use something like https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX
Since Gemini seems to be sucking at timestamps, perhaps Whisper can be used to help ground that as an additional input alongside the audio.

Gemini 2.5 Flash is an impressive model for its price. However, I don't understand why Gemini 2.0 Flash is still popular.
From OpenRouter last week:
* xAI: Grok Code Fast 1: 1.15T
* Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 4: 586B
* Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash: 325B
* Sonoma Sky Alpha: 227B
* Google: Gemini 2.0 Flash: 187B
* DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3.1 (free): 180B
* xAI: Grok 4 Fast (free): 158B
* OpenAI: GPT-4.1 Mini: 157B
* DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3 0324: 142B
Maybe the same reason why they kept the name for the 2.5 Flash update.
People are lazy at pointing to the latest name.

Despite the name, openipc isn't fully open - the main recorder/encoder app (majestic) is closed source. Many openipc developers have moved to an alternative project named "thingino" which has a fully open source recorder/encoder/streamer.

I love how the front page doesn't scream SOCs/SOMs to you and is just straight up here's the compatible cameras with pictures (with some SOM info below).

I wouldn't be surprised if the bills themselves are marked with specimen or something on the non-visible side. Maybe they're also artificially worn bills produced during bringup or testing.

Try one of these HDMI splitters that are more or less openly advertised as "HDCP strippers" on Amazon.
I think multiviewer might have been a synonym for that.
I wonder if the chips on these dummy plugs are powerful enough to hack in HDCP support though.
