They are probably trying but only succeeded after many failures and fix the food supply of a long sea journey, navigation and mapping of the sea.

The washing machine is the one that needs redesign to incorporate folding.

We can't even get to a washing machine that's also the dryer though. If it seems hard to get people to adopt even that new technology, then clothes folding is never gonna happen.

That is becouse those wash and drying machines are bad at drying the cloths.

If manufacturers are selling a defective product, that's on them. What I'm pointing out that the history of technological advancement isn't smooth.

You see only the address when it is already paid and to be shipped. Cancelling credit card transaction is very costly to the merchant.

I'm pretty sure I have to provide my address to many e-commerce shops during checkout, so that happens before payment.

There are some section of a train line where 4 stations are owned by someone else and they change names along the same rail route. They also change the driver or whatever he is called when changing the company name of the train.

I think we are in the era we have so many CPU choices.

The West just a few years ago declared that at airport entry points, no one is including their citizen is not protected by any law when it comes to providing access to your private stuff.

Don’t bring your sensitive data to airports.

What is Parakeet?

I believe this is the correct link. I use it too in Handy, for English and Spanish transcriptions: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3

Maybe they meant narakeet?

Parakeet is the name of a speech to text model from Nvidia. Roughly comparable to whisper from openAI.

It's the model doing the work inside the wrapper that an app provides.

Yep, here's the v2 and v3:

It's almost instant on my new M5 Max w/ 36GB of memory, but I used both with Handy on my previous 2019 Intel Mac w/ 16GB memory and was completely surprised at just how fast it was for being on-device! Not instant, but only a couple seconds.

I’m using it on an M3 max 32gb, and I’m getting 60-70x realtime for recordings and crazy good accuracy. I can get an hour of audio transcribed in a minute. Similar results from Whisper, but half the speed.

Transcription this good used to cost A LOT, now it rounds down to free.

It was probably done on a foreign language on an archived forum. Claude is the improvement of the internet search box.

I take it….

Improvement over all the assholes that tell you „just google it” after you spent two days hitting the wall.

For the Capitalist crowd, YES it is the biggest cost. The next is energy. Imagine a world where your research and development is all AI and the production is all automated by robots. Instant product to sell to the masses who has no money because no one is working.

Reminds me of Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, there is also a cancelled series on Netflix that had an awesome first season.

Why do billionaires keep working, keep amassing more money, donate to politicians, buy media companies?

They want influence and power. Being at the top of a hierarchy of millions, billions of people.

If there are no massess the 1000th billionaire will be a the bottom of the hierarchy instead of near the top. They don't want that. The masses are needed to give them the sense of power.

What these people want is power and control. Eliminating the masses goes against that.

They now have the AI that gives them the praise they want. We have been made redundant.

I don’t think that’s it. I think the only thing that motivates billionaire is just to have more than the next guy.

The only thing that motivates Bezos is that Elon Musk’s has more and conversely Elon Musk would have a existential crisis if he was no longer number one

why only a few thousand? serious question.
