Same, I'd say it's way better than most other transcription tools I've used, but it does need to be monitored to catch when it starts going off the rails.

Whisper isn't a large language model.

It's a speech to text (STT) model.

Rather than making it illegal to use, people need to use these tools responsibly. If any of these companies are using almost any kind of AI/machine learning they need to include a human in the loop that can verify that it's working correctly. That way if it starts hallucinating things that were never said, it can be caught and corrected.

I've found that Whisper generally does a better job at translating/transcribing audio than other open source tools out there, so it's not garbage.. But it absolutely is a hazard if you're trying to rely solely on it for official documents (or legal issues).

As far as promotion goes... It's open source software, it's not being sold.

As someone who uses Whisper fairly often, it's obvious that they've trained off of a bunch of YouTube videos.

Most of the time it's very accurate, but there have definitely been a few times in long transcription sessions where it will randomly hallucinate that someone is saying "Don't forget to like and subscribe!" When nothing was said anywhere near that.

Thanks! I definitely need to upgrade from the starter ship.

No idea about cats/dogs.

It's not accurate enough to be sure about whether you can eat it or not, but if you want to take a look at visually similar plants in your area:

Use the iNaturalist app.

Take a picture of it (or upload the picture you already have).

Click on "View Suggestions" and it should highlight visually similar plants as well as highlight matches that are most commonly found around you.

You don't need to submit the photo to their database, but if you do make sure to check the "it is cultivated" box if it's something you've grown yourself.

Again, do not depend on this to decide whether it's safe or not, but at the very least it will help you to research visually similar plants in your area.

Ah good point. If it was just affecting Nvidia cards then a driver update would be all that they need.

This is sounding more like a software issue on the Call of Duty side then.

But DLSS does still get updated models with driver updates:

DLSS uses the power of NVIDIA’s supercomputers to train and regularly improve its AI model. The latest models are delivered to your GeForce RTX PC through Game Ready Drivers.

Looks like this channel is alao available on Odysee, here's an alternate link: https://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/BRENDAN-EICH:9

It's a new game. This shouldn't be surprising. Most likely they just need to retrain/finetune the ML models being used for upscaling, frame generation, etc.
Should be coming in a driver update soon.

Looks like Apple barely won on the patent of some old charger and lost on almost everything else:

Masimo said in a statement that the company appreciated the jury’s verdict “in favor of Masimo and against Apple on nearly all issues,” and that the decision only applied to a “discontinued module and charger.”

“Apple primarily sought an injunction against Masimo’s current products, and the jury’s verdict is a victory for Masimo on that issue,” Masimo said.

Looks like he's walking it back:

Update on Galaxy’s Base-Building Capabilities

Today [13min ago]

Hey everyone,

I realise my previous comments may have given the wrong impression, and I spoke too soon on this topic. I’ve since regrouped with the larger team(s) to ensure we’re all fully aligned on the Galaxy’s future. To clarify: while there’s no base-building module currently in active development for the Galaxy, we’re fully committed to enabling a large base-building drone module for it down the line. The Galaxy won’t be the first ship for building large-scale structures when base building launches, but will come soon-after, and its potential for that role is very much intact.

My earlier comment about when things are "speculative" was incorrect. We want to make sure that when we walk on stage, during ISC, or in any presentation, you can walk away feeling confident in the information we share.

We’ll share more information on this module as it becomes available. Thanks for all of the feedback, and I'll be monitoring threads closely if you have any more questions.

Edit: removed the "pinned" text that got mixed in with the title.

Ok, this is a bit more than what the title implies. This isn't just outputting the code in text, but rather the ability to verify its own answers before responding to the user asking questions using code.

Claude could attempt these tasks before. But, because it lacked a mechanism to mathematically verify the results, the answers weren’t always incredibly accurate.

So now if you ask it a math question or for it to create some visual bar chart, it will actually do the work to verify that what it's saying is valid.

I'm sure there will still be ways to trip it up, but this is a good step forward.
