If I choose to use perplexity to shop for me then surely that's my choice? (I'd probably not ATM)
With ever diminishing eyesight and cognitive abilities I'd probably prefer the 'option' of asking my digital assistant.
They will need do something since it seems the 1x Neo is struggling with basic practical tasks and might be demoted to online shopping.
Speechbrain as far as I can tell uses a wide range of techniques to validate asr. Whisper as the article said has such a vast set of training data. It won't be long before someone combines all the features that makes humans excellent at this into a future asr model(in my opinion with test time training).
"The NHS introduced this functionality to make GPs' working lives easier and improve patient outcomes – so it is odd that any GP would choose to turn this service off and revert to manually inputting data from emails, increasing their workload and taking up more time," she said. Almost like GPs want to spend time reviewing incoming patient data to screen for any outliers and expand their own visibilty of their community. Maybe the problem is NHS England want to drive primary care in a different direction?
Was called to an equestrian farm years ago to resolve an issue with an non starting PC. Noticed all the wires went into a very large fluffy cat den under a desk and the desktop PC crammed full of fur. The staff thought it was a great idea to use the PC as some sort of heater both for the cat and as a foot warmer in the colder months.
Especially if reports are to be believed and it was raining heavily. Most consumer drones will struggle to fly in rain and operator control using fpv alone would be impossible unless the drone had wipers over the camera. I'm wondering if this is all type?
If my calculations are correct (using Kerbal Space Program) then the rocket scientists who came up with this orbit deserves a pint or gin. In pool parlance this is the equivalent of calculating how to pot the black from break everytime and having the cue ball roll back to the spot.
I grew up watching Thunderbird 3 land vertically thinking how cool and idea it was and it simply sparked my imagination as a child. However I grew up and that spark got slowly extinguished that no-one had yet managed this outside of tethered test rockets. Elon Musk with his double booster landing and every other falcon 9 first stage landing has made me realise once again that anything is possible and I should never give up on the imagination of him and people like him. The spark is back and I'm off to watch some Thunderbird 3 err I mean falcon 9 first stage landings on YouTube.
So what he is suggesting is that Russia somehow fooled the U.S. population over a long period and managed to manipulate this false information and hence put a Russian sympathetic president in the White House? Surely there is a domestic solution to that problem? I like to think I can filter out the fake news from the real news quiet quickly but even then I'm being biased.
DJI aren't the only route to drone ownership and at least should be commended for having a stab at drone safety restrictions for the uninformed masses.
If you really want some high altitude footage then invest in some helium, weather balloons and learn how to submit a Notam.
