Not surprising from the fact that Taiwanese like Japan

Believe or not, when I explained to many non techies how quartz watches work and how any computers’ hardware clocks work in the same principle, they were all surprised how elegant and how efficient the mechanism is. I was also impressed when I first learned about it. True science and engineering beauty.

I don't buy it. It's the same model underneath running whatever UI. It's the same model that keeps forgetting and missing details. And somehow when it is given a bunch of CLI tools and more interfaces to interact with, it suddenly becomes x10 AI? It may feel like it for a manager whose job is to deal with actual people who push back. Will it stop bypassing a test because it is directly not related to a feature I asked for? I don't think so.
They don't claim to support Polish, but they do support Russian.
> The model is natively multilingual, achieving strong transcription performance in 13 languages, including English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Dutch. With a 4B parameter footprint, it runs efficiently on edge devices, ensuring privacy and security for sensitive deployments.
I wonder how much having languages with the same roots (e.g. the romance languages in the list above or multiple Slavic languages) affects the parameter count and the training set. Do you need more training data to differentiate between multiple similar languages? How would swapping, for example, Hindi (fairly distinct from the other 12 supported languages) for Ukrainian and Polish (both share some roots with Russian) affect the parameter count?
I guess I will check Korean. OpenAI audio mini is not bad but I always have to make gpt to check and fix transcription.
3 hours for a single request sounds nice to me. Although the graph suggests that it’s not going to perform as good as openai model I have been using, it is open source and surely I will give it a try.

My partner would love this article!
This stuff smells like maybe the bitter lesson isn't fully appreciated.
You might as well just write instructions in English in any old format, as long as it's comprehensible. Exactly as you'd do for human readers! Nothing has really changed about what constitutes good documentation. (Edit to add: my parochialism is showing there, it doesn't have to be English)
Is any of this standardization really needed? Who does it benefit, except the people who enjoy writing specs and establishing standards like this? If it really is a productivity win, it ought to be possible to run a comparison study and prove it. Even then, it might not be worthwhile in the longer run.
There could be a market if it is standardized, and it seems there is already one [1]. I don't know exactly what they are selling because the website is just too confusing to me to understand a thing.
What OP wants to say is that they miss the process of thinking hard for days and weeks and one day this brilliant idea popping up on their bed before sleep. I lost my "thinking hard" process again too today at work against my pragmatism, or more precisely my job.
During covid I was studying in France. The school deliberately chose not to use zoom. It was software called BigBlueButton. I was happy with it. I appreciated them for having their own opinions instead of just following what others do.
At first I thought "desktop shell" was supposed to be compositor, but that's not the case, a wayland compositor like sway is a requirement. I've been using sway for years I have no idea what a "shell" is? It's somewhere in between a desktop environment and a theme?
I have no idea what shell means either! Isn’t it called ricing to customize desktop environment? Since when do people started calling it shell?
