  • BERT is a special case. The academic consensus is rightly considering it an LLM since it operates on text but the industry doesn’t consider it an LLM since LLM in its colloquial meaning has drifted to mean a model generating text (which BERT doesn’t). Whisper is not an LLM since it’s working on audio, so it is an Automatic Speech Recognition model (ASR).

    Text in = LLM in academic circles (BERT and GPT)

    Text in, text out = LLM in all circles (GPT only)

    Audio in, text out ≠ LLM (Whisper)

    Now, we can argue whether we want to accept the colloquial meaning of LLM, but the fact is that Whisper is not an LLM. And neither ASR nor BERT causes even a fraction of the damage GPT is doing, but that’s another discussion.






  • For a project I liked I saw that the translation of the UI was only about 1% complete for my native language. I decided to dedicate the weekend to get it above 95%. This was apparently the part that seemed too hard for most to make a dent in, but across several new versions my language is still 100%. I think my groundwork made it easier for some sporadic contributors to get a small bit of dopamine when updating the few new strings in a release to see it hit 100% again.

    Looks great!

    Small question, is it possible to log a specific journey? For example in Denmark you are required to keep a precise log of your driving if you want to get a tax rebate, so if you could log a specific journey and save it for later for tax documentation, that would be great.



  • I kinda liked posting some random funny snippets of TV shows and movies on the forbidden Lemmy. Maybe I should take that up again now that Cliparr can cut down most of the time it’ll take.

    Only problem is that I still need the communities that would benefit from such submissions. On Reddit this was mostly on a fan sub for the given TV show, but Lemmy isn’t big enough for that (at least I think so).


  • About $3/mo. But for a lifetime deal you’re also buying the risk. If they go bankrupt, stop honoring the lifetime deal, or any variation thereof tomorrow, you’re out $750 - lifetime deals, where they exist are often heavily discounted compared to normal rates due to this. 20 years is though quite a long time. Plex is only 16 years old.

    In a perfect world a company would limit the amount of lifetime deals available and only have them in the beginning to get some quick cash allowing them to scale. I don’t think Plex is running a very good business, which also devalues the lifetime deal.
