mandeepj··on Nvidia Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe: open ASR for 40 languages
> ASR = automatic speech recognition. I think this is the same as STT, speech to text?

I'm surprised no one corrected you. There's no speech left when it's converted to text, while, as you stated, the other one is Automatic speech recognition :-)

I don't quite follow that. Can you give an example? I buy car parts all the time and install them myself as well.

> This requires a cover to equalize the size with the camera for haptic reasons.

Not really! The cover just follows the seam. And larger batteries will increase the weight as well, which Apple definitely doesn't want.

Great. Maybe create a separate repo so we can collaborate? I can fork it too, if you're okay with that. Hopefully more will join in.

Don't sign into any of Apple services then! Just use it as a pure developer playground or create an alternate ID. Can't be looking for everything everywhere :-)

Great effort in improving your skills! I guess I can use a similar approach to improve my speaking skills?

Can you shed some light on orchestration? I don't want to babysit them. Do you have a concept of roles and hierarchies, like team lead, tester, engineer, etc?

Then the government provides a lawyer; you can't be without counsel even if you can't afford them.

Why not ask AI to explain it all line by line and write sequence, high level and low level docs? But I prefer not giving 100% control to AI

Exploration and tinkering! But you have to have passion and deep interest in that topic/problem

I was trying to clarify your use case, which you've shared above.

> What you're describing is for recording videos of the phone .

I meant screen recording on a mac itself and not via a phone.

Anyway, thanks for your response. Your sites look great.

Can you share how the experience different than the local screen recording via something like Screenshot App?

mandeepj··on RJ Mitte has died
> I give him check writing ability to make it smoother for me to pay bills.

I immediately smell a giant red flag! I'm dealing with a lawsuit in another country, so I can't be there more than once or twice a year. To handle that situation, I'd have to sign a power of attorney. That document was shocking to read. It gave my lawyer pretty much every possible permission, including withdrawing from the suit at his will, and it said I can't sue him, I can't change attorney, and whatnot. Funny, the doc had been in circulation for the last 50 years. I wrote a new doc and gave him the absolute minimum :-)

"I write a check to go pay my taxes, and instead of her using it to pay my taxes, she would send me a fake filing of taxes and take that money."

Maybe he was way too innocent! You write a check to the IRS or have federal/state auto-detect. That option is there for sure if filing electronically.

> Way longer than that. The first KH-11 satellites that Hubble shares its design with were in orbit in the late 1970s.

That's all fascinating stuff! What are some books that cover the start of the pursuit of those advanced machines? Can I say warfare machinery? Was it the end of WWII and a race to self-protect, was it the start of cold war, establishment of NATO, or a particular administration?

4 years ago, people didn't fill their pockets on the current scale, and they also didn't pitch their own businesses under the cover of national interests.

Not sure how you made that assessment!

52 Week Range: 215.68 - 473.10

Yesterday, it closed at 410.44. Clearly, very far away from collapse. In fact, it made a solid comeback (almost doubled from lows).
