Easy-to-Use Open Source ASR System with Gradio
It is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system Gradio Web UI Implementation. It is a Python project that uses the OpenAI API to provide a web-based interface for speech-to-text conversion. The project is still under development, but it is already capable of recognizing speech with a high degree of accuracy.

The project is implemented using the Gradio library, which makes it easy to create interactive web applications. The Gradio UI allows users to speak into their microphone and have their speech converted to text in real time. The text is then displayed on the screen, and users can copy it to their clipboard or save it to a file.

The project is open source and available on GitHub. It is licensed under the MIT License, which means that it can be freely used, modified, and redistributed.
As explained elsewhere: no one is saying companies have any obligation to do any of this

That is irrelevant to the conversation going on here.

Yes, this level of 'fanaticism' (carefully controlled) is completely compatible with modern military practice. Perhaps the propaganda makes it come out differently, but this level of 'fanaticism' is functionally the same as willing to be dropped off next to a downed pilot completely surrounded in a city with hundreds of hostiles and no other exfil in sight.

It's functionally the same thing as keeping flying to your weapons release point, knowing that anti air missiles are on the way, and you're going to get splashed shortly after you release your missiles unless you turn back right now, but the plan really needs you to fire off your rounds.

It's functionally the same as being the one live pilot in the middle of a drone decoy swarm so that you can imbue the swarm with some reasonable smarts and realism despite the storm of jamming.

The reality is that we ask soldiers, pilots and sailors to be ready to die all the same. The sharp and large distinction between being ready to die, and being ready to 'sacrifice themselves' I feel is really more of a distinction made to comfort those outside the military.

It's difficult to extrapolate WW2 Japan to China today. Certainly their fanaticism didn't win them the war, but it's difficult to imagine what type of 'mindset' would have won them the war given the immense material disparity they faced. Though if you want to take the meta view that their fanaticism mindset that infected both the armed forces and the nation in general led to the overall choices that ended up in them starting their wars (which then went to shit for them)... I'd actually agree. It's certainly disheartening to see this type of propaganda appear from any country.

> Laziness does not bother me, because I very rarely pass lazy sequences around.

Sounds like that is going to the point the article is making - the best way to use lazy sequences is not to. Lazy sequence bugs make for a miserable experience. Clojure already has an onboarding problem where every new learner has to discover all the obscure do- and don't-s and go through the lessons of which parts of the language are more of a gimmick vs the parts that do real work. Attempting to do tricks with lazy sequences is part of that but it is polite to warn people before they try rather than when they get to Stack Overflow after hours of head-to-desk work.

Although I will put in a small plug for lazy sequences because they work well in high latency, high data i/o bound situations like paged HTTP calls or reading DB collections from disk. When memory gets tight it can be helpful to be processing partially realized sequences. But the (map println [1 2 3]) experience that everyone has is a big price to pay.

>Why is it _necessary_ for other labs to produce the material themselves to _verify_ the claims?

I highlighted "necessary" and "verify" because your wording of your question somewhat hides the motivations of the labs.

Multiple labs around the world are not just doing a "homework assignment" to academically verify someone else's work. Instead, the tantalizing idea of a "room-temperature superconductor" would be a miracle material and That Scientific Leap In Progress is why independent labs are racing to reproduce it.

Same excitement of so-called "replication" would happen if somebody put out a plausible "cold fusion" paper or a workable synthesis of a new "drug molecule" to cure cancer. Multiple labs around the world would be motivated to implement their own cold fusion machine and cancer drug. It isn't "necessary" that they replicate it. Instead, they're genuinely excited about making their own miracle devices/drugs and possibly extending the scientific discoveries beyond the original authors' findings.

We’ll see. The longer my question goes unanswered, the less likely it is that your overly generous interpretation holds.
You're right, but also, nothing stops you from making your own ambient temperature superconductor and donate it to humanity.

Sure,

this isn't in the hands of the industry as a whole, though. The question is: Does AMD think they can earn a better profit down the road than if they invest in/focus on something else (e.g. maintaining their lead over intel on x86, continue being dominant in the console gaming GPU sector, etc...).
I was just referring to your comment not the blog post.
Regarding your last comment, I think it rings true, and further, politics (or at least political communication) is to a degree citizen prompt engineering.

It further strikes me that, if these are true:

(1) Influencing large groups of people is at least somewhat equivalent to prompt engineering.
(2) Large language models reflect at least some degree of similarity with how humans respond to the same prompts.

Then you could use LLMs to test the influence of different psychological manipulations before using them on large groups of people.

Try different prompts, see which one gets the best response from an LLM, then use it on people.
This is about material that didn't exist before.

The existence and effect of it should suffice.

How it is produced is a later step.
Ask HN: Should countries have strategic semiconductor reserves?
The USA has strategic reserves of some commodities, for example: petroleum and cheese. We have seen issues with supply chains in semiconductors recently.

Is it realistic to stockpile specific chips, or does the industry move too fast for such a stockpile to be useful?
Thomas Austin (Pastoralist)
But that's not my point. I have no problem also asserting that American film makers, because of their past racists prejudices, didn't bother to research a workable solution to a fundamentally physical problem.

My point is that any new visual technology will have problems capturing detail of black any objects. Vintage film didn't capture black detail because information is lost because the object destroyed it.

Btw, the problem still exists. Kodak didnt magically conjure a product with ten more stops of dynamic range. Maybe a stop or two and lot of heuristics. Grab the fanciest camera you can and try taking a picture of an object painted with vantablack. It is impossible.

Likewise, I have zero surprise that ppl with dark skin trip up vision systems that have been widely deployed for only ten years. That is not evidence of researcher bias; its evidence that its a new technology trying to get something to work. If this issue is ignored for next 90, than we can conclude that there is bias.

So what to so until then? Just let black people be victimized? NO! How about we throw away our techno-dystopian state and its abominable technology instead?
Problem is they don't reliably get back to you within a short time frame, sometimes you have a deadline or multiple features and just want that reliability of getting a response same day you can get with an internal test team, you know.

Not sure if I understand your point. If you're in Spain you want to see Street names written in Kanji or Greek? Or do you want the street name translated to your phone language?
It’s telling that even here in this thread, the answer to “what’s the evidence” is “employers aren’t required to produce evidence.”

Correct! They are obviously not required to produce evidence! But the question wasn’t “are they required to produce evidence,” it was “what’s the evidence,” and so the provided answer here amounts to “I don’t know/I don’t have any/I don’t know if they have any”

Maybe there are no other room temperature superconductors in this universe.

If I present you the other side of the coin - we are a small country, where we cant keep up with number of cars of tourists traveling to the next country over summer.

Since the Google Maps is here, not only we have a completely congested highways but also all other roads that were free of tourists before are now blocked. Tourists that are traveling to the next country while their number has doubled as they dont stand in line from border to border but rather destroy any viable traffic for locals.

In some locations it has gone to the point where small villages with historically very narrow roads are literally blocked by **** (pardon my french), using google maps and see that there is a pass (while every road is the same, right) so the police needs to deter tourists to even head there. Wont even go into suffering of locals there.
Sorry, but that's simply not true. The ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists) released things like the Panama Papers and Football Leaks. Those were massive investigations, and yet the yielded little attention.

Simply do opinion pieces about migration, climate or gender and you'll get a hundred times the attention (and ads.)

Newspapers no longer have the news alone, they don't have a used-item market (ebay) or real estate ads. Those were cross-funding the real journalism.

Look no further than Trump to see how much "the people" care about the truth.
This is something I have wondered a lot about: whether the routing is based on current conditions, or if it takes into account what usually happens on your route as your journey unfolds.

Your comment seems to suggest the former.

I live in France and school vacation, especially during the winter break, yield to horrendous tragic keeps from the Paris region towards the Alps. I needed once to drive through them, but not towards the ski resorts, just more south.

There were several possible routes but the fastest one was chosen despite the fact that it would hit the bottleneck right at the worst time. Another route, summer 20 min longer, was not taken into consideration at all despite avoiding the bottleneck.
That is an interesting idea. Can you tell me what is the switch for number of cores?
I get it. I would also greatly prefer to enjoy my days _and_ get paid a software engineer’s salary, but life is rarely that kind. And when it is, it tends not to last.

I _want_ to enjoy my job, but I _need_ to make money. Most people don’t get either of those things, so I’ve come to terms with just having the latter.
It may be that only a small subset of people will talk, but it's not necessarily the case that you know which subset beforehand. When the software can handle it, it's much easier to have everyone join a single call than it is to make sure that the right three people and two meeting rooms have access to talk, and guess which one other person out of about 250 might be called on to provide more context on an answer.

And I suspect that for most people -- including me -- Zoom accounts are "effectively unlimited". I wouldn't expect that many people to attend one of my meetings. The Internal Events team have licenses that allow for more attendees; I have a 500 attendee limit and I doubt I've ever gone above 50.

If they are restrictive and/or greedy with licensing, that is. A huge ton of cheap-ish licenses would rake in a fortune too, it doesn't have to go the e-ink way. But if it did, it might actually be worse: There's no reason why Chinese companies couldn't just ignore that patent like they do others. Pretty much unchecked innovation free for all inside the Chinese market (extending to Russia at least) vs. hardly anyone able to do anything in the West would make for an interesting situation, to say the least. Even the US Military-Industrial Complex couldn't outright ignore such a patent I think.
I don't believe that China would let that sit tight. They will find a way to replicate in no time and start the engine of research full throttle. It's simply too good to be true. It would alleviate all their problems, from food to climate and energy.
I think you can say the same for most non-physical labor jobs..

That's how patents work though. That's the whole deal.

Private entities invest in research and development. If they find something incredible, they release the full details to the world of what they found, and in return we give them monopoly on the invention for a period of time. That's a patent.

Take away the incentive and private entities won't invest in research.

The public appetite for investing in basic research with government funding is pretty low. So instead of waiting 20 years for the patent to expire, during which we're all paying a premium on the invention, we instead spend 20 or more years without the invention at all because no research was funded to find it. Maybe longer.

Networking, mostly, in the sense that an article in a high impact journal has a higher probability to be integrated in citations networks. The fact that there is some gate keeping means that it’s valuable to be in rather than out, and that’s something you can use to get a position. Also, better journals (which are not necessarily the highest-impact ones) tend to have more thorough peer review (such as 3 reviewers by default instead of 1 or 2, editors who are not afraid to ask for more reviews if the 3 are not conclusive, etc).

> (btw, I've seen profs delegate to undergrads. And it is quite common for post-docs AND grad students to be reviewers. Trust me, I am one)

I am lucky not to have been in that situation when I was a student, and I did not delegate any further when I got the occasional review from the prof when I was a post-doc. But I am unfortunately not surprised.
There are many great hackers and much as there are fakes out there. This professional hacker Albert Vadim literally saved my marriage from crashing when he helped me hack into 3 different iPhones belonging to my ex who was blackmailing me with my nudes for 8 months. Albert handled the situation in less than 5 hours he deleted all the videos and crashed the phones. He recently helped a friend of mine have access to all messages on her husband's phone who was having an affair outside marriage. If you need help, this is your guy. You can contact him through Email: VADIMWEBHACK@ GMAIL. COM

comments like this really make me smh. what's wrong with some lucky people getting rich off of this? you do realize they financed that research for the past 20 years, and if it's actually an investment group instead of a few passionate individuals I can guarantee you they also financed a shitload of other endeavours that went nowhere and ate the losses, lol.

you could do the same, get together with a group of other people and invest in something using your disposable software eng income (maybe you already are). or you could just complain when someone else takes the risk and reaps the rewards because you apparently have no concept of things like jealousy, envy, or basic economics lol.
We can have tiers. Tier 1 peer reviewed. Tier 2 peer replicated. We can have it as a stamp on the papers.

All PhD programs have requirement for a minimum number of novel publications. We could add to the requirements a minimum number of replications.

But truth to be told, a PhD in science/ engineering will probably spend their first two years trying to replicate the SOTA anyway. It’s just that today you cannot publish this effort, nobody cares, except yourself and your advisor.
