For what it's worth there are now mini PCs on AliExpress with SFP+ ports. I have one running OpenWrt along with some inexpensive SFP+ modules that's been working great. Although with my setup, I opted to have an external wifi AP c

For what it's worth, if you don't have the chip that powers this card, there's also the PicoGUS which is a multi-function, software-defined ISA card that includes the ability to emulate the Gravis Ultrasound among other sound

I've found that for CPU inference the PyTorch-based (non-quantized) version of Pocket TTS actually performs (both speed and quality-wise) better than the ONNX version, even after fiddling with all of the knobs that ONNX provides.

You'd be amazed what exists on the market these days. For example, the pre-terminated InvisiLight fiber cabling is 0.6mm in diameter and has a 2.5mm bend radius. I've personally installed this cabling while making many 90 degree (

Do you have a link to results confirming this? Kroko does not seem to be on the Open ASR Leaderboard. Parakeet has an average WER of 6.32 across several common datasets.

Why the choice of Kroko over something like parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3, which is also faster than realtime on CPU?

After having to deal with VM hosts that do GeoIP blocking, which unintentionally blocks Let's Encrypt and others from properly verifying domains via http-01/tls-alpn-01, I settled on a DIY solution that uses CNAME redirects and a

On Linux, this is why I always turn to using abstract sockets when I only need local locking. Only one process can bind and the kernel cleans up automatically on process exit. You could do the same thing with TCP/UDP, but abstract sock

Also be aware that kernel support for shebangs depends on CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT=y being in the kernel config.

It's only an alternative if you have a backing swap device. zram does not have this requirement, so (aside from using no compression) it's basically the only solution for some scenarios (e.g. using entire disk(s) for ZFS).

tl;dr: Use surge protectors when you care about your electronics and/or your health.

This seems a bit strange to me considering the default behavior is to only show a suggested command if possible and do nothing else. That means they explicitly opted into the autocorrect feature and didn't bother to read the manual fir

It didn't work for me either, but apparently one of the issues is that it assumes window.speechSynthesis is available which may be disabled via about:config > media.webspeech.synth.enabled.

In my opinion it's primarily for less noisy logs.

I think it goes without saying that you would still want to be using keys instead of passwords for the actual authentication. Port knocking should always be an additional layer, not a replacement layer.

For what it's worth if you have control over both client and server and don't want to limit access using a strict IP whitelist, an alternative solution that will keep your logs quieter and add additional protection is to use good

Generally speaking (I've not tested this kind of setup with the cosmopolitan libc) what I've done in the past with C is use something like libmicrohttpd along with some web assets linked into the executable (`xxd -i` can help you

Even with node.js, it's possible to be faster and/or use less memory than better-sqlite3. For example, here is an opinionated sqlite addon I wrote that shows just that (while executing queries asynchronously): https://g

I recognize that, but surely there could be overlap in some areas or problems unique to streamers who don't stream for a living. For example, I could see streamers who stream for a potential social benefit may feel the need to chase tr

Every time I see articles talking about this subject, it's always completely focused on Twitch streamers that stream for a living. I would be more interested in hearing the contrast with streamers who stream for fun/not for a livi

Potential buffering issues aside, as others have pointed out the node.js example is performing asynchronous writes, unlike the other languages' examples (as far as I know). To do a proper synchronous write, you'd do something like

I wouldn't judge all VRML-enabled software the same, as they were not all terrible. For example, back in the mid-to-late 90s (and for several years in the 00's) there was a free (client) product called OnLive! Traveler (later Digi

That doesn't answer the why though. It just makes it seem suspicious. How hard could it have been to use the latest versions of the non-Postgres software? Even as a "this is kind of interesting" experiment it seems like you

I wonder why such an old version of Redis was used in these benchmarks? Redis 3.0.7 was released back in January 2016. The current stable version as of this writing is 6.2.5. EDIT: Additionally the version of memcached used in the benchmark
