Can whisper do multilingual yet? Last time I tried it on some mixed dutch/english text it would spit out english translations for some of the dutch text. Strange bug/feature since from all appearances it had understood the dutch text perfectly fine.

Whisper-v3 works well for multi-lingual. I tried it with Dutch, German and English

Does this have the ability to edit historic words as more info becomes available?

Eg. If I say "I scream", it sounds phonetically identical to "Ice cream".

Yet the transcription of "I scream is the best dessert" makes a lot less sense than "Ice cream is the best dessert".

Doing this seems necessary to have both low latency and high accuracy, and things like transcription on android do that and you can see the adjusting guesses as you talk.

Whisper works on 30 second chunks. So yes it can do that and that’s also why it can hallucinate quite a bit.

It would be fun to train an LLM with a knowledge cutoff of 1900 or something

That’s been done to see if it could extrapolate and predict the future. Can’t find the link right now to the paper.

BCAAS have been debunked countless of times. The only people recommencing BCAAS are selling them.

Can you extend this into language learning content on YT? I think that would also have amazing utility. As a biologist, so happy to see Crime Pays but Botany doesn't on here. Thanks for the awesome tool. I will be using it.

Yes! I did something similar with daily exercises at https://app.fluentsubs.com/exercises/daily

Congrats on the success! Are you not afraid that MS ships a wiki upgrade at a certain point?

Crazy that a reputation without a product can be worth so much.

A decent 3d CAD and multiphysics FEM (cheap comsol) would be a good start

Yes but the industry is so rooted and vendor locked that it is extremely hard. People pay for Autodesk, Ansys, comsol etc. because it is proven and engineers are trained to use it. I would not be eager to use something new if I’m a constructor or car manufacturer.

(Cursor cofounder)

Apologies - something very clearly went wrong here. We’ve already begun investigating, and some very early results:

* Any AI responses used for email support are now clearly labeled as such. We use AI-assisted responses as the first filter for email support.

* We’ve made sure this user is completely refunded - least we can do for the trouble.

For context, this user’s complaint was the result of a race condition that appears on very slow internet connections. The race leads to a bunch of unneeded sessions being created which crowds out the real sessions. We’ve rolled out a fix.

Appreciate all the feedback. Will help improve the experience for future users.

Keep going! I love Cursor. Don’t let the haters get to you
