Which model would be the best to use for mandarin? Are there any models on par with Parakeet that are just as fast but also understand Chinese?

also is there a way to make parakeet type more naturally? less capitallization, less punctuation? can this be a setting?

this can already be done via local llm processing the text but surely there is an easier way to do this, right

I believe sensevoice, I’ll hopefully be implementing it soon enough

the model is permanently loaded into ram for access speed. discharging it would unload it from ram and lead to longer start times

It does unload it, and actually might be a good default for most people as the model loading does happen in the background as soon as you hit the key

oh this is because they want more data to build better ai (that will give them more money and power and probably some other things too)

so you have ptsd from a browser?

Aren't we all?

WHY IS EVERYONE IN COMMENTS SO OLD AND BITTER WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE DOING

I think it's a mixture of dislike for Google/Chrome and the constant Chromium reskins that dominate the browser market + Firefox evangelism.

I'll personally say I don't hate this project as such, I mainly use a Chromium based browser because I build a product that uses the FileSystem API with a directory picker [0] and the FileSystem Observer API [1]. Both of which aren't supported anywhere except Chromium based browsers.

I used to use Thorium, but last build was out in February and I simply can't use that as my main browser, so now I simply use ungoogled-chromium.

I can easily avoid any Google telemetry, use uBlock Origin with MV2, Privacy Badger and the plus point is all sites work. I love Firefox as well, but I feel you can't do much about the fact all "regular" people end up using Chrome or Safari; so while developing on the web you simply can't become a Firefox main and avoid chromium entirely.

Generally because there's not that much to comment on, as this is effectively a somewhat prettier ungoogled chromium, and so there's not much room to make positive comments. Though I agree people get caught up in negativity easily.

Why are you writing in upper case?

To me, that contributes to the overall uncomfortability

great read if you wanna waste 11 minutes

Google turns up a CNET article from 2007 (probably because eEye was "pumping press releases left and right"):[1]

> Researchers at eEye used a standard process of code auditing in discovering the vulnerabilities, [eEye CEO Ross] Brown added. He noted that Microsoft either did not do a 'good job' with its code auditing, or it may not have had enough people working on such a task.

I don't really get this culture of racing to find a bug in another company's product, then strutting about finding one (in Microsoft Publisher of all things) and throwing shade. I guess we should all be so lucky to have a company whose "standard process" is to pull a week of all nighters testing our product.

The style of writing certainly added a lot to it.

Edit: I just checked the author, I might actually know him from IRC. The "Mantis" and "infosec" checks out.

small world we live in...

Fantastic read. Funny, relatable, all the technical details, and so much heart. Thank you for sharing it!

Is this sota? How does rag quality compare to that in, say, lmstudio?

Also is there a "rag quality benchmark" yet
