Can you describe how it pick different voices? Does it need separate audio channels, or does it recognize different voices on the same audio input?

I’d like to use this to transcribe meeting minutes with multiple people. How could this program work for that use case?

I don't always subscribe to someone's Substack, but when I do, it's Jennifer Pahlka.
Last August I bought 6 small work platforms/mast lifts at an equipment auction and sold them in FB Marketplace for an extra $1000 each after expenses. Cleaned them up a bit, but that was it! I’m bidding on 5 more this week, should be an easy $5k arbitrage.

Just configured my first cloud-unit file and put it on a partitioned USB with the Ubuntu Server iso. It worked! Thanks for the heads up.

cloud-init looks great, I'll try it for new bare metal installs. How do you get it to work in Docker containers?

One of the features of asymmetric key cryptography is that you can only prove that you're the same person (private key).

Re:Doors of McMurdo on Thursday December 15, 2022 @03:33PM (#34005303)
Man this brings me back. I did a year at McMurdo in 2004. We got hit with such a bad storm that conex boxes were tossed all over the yards. Snow drifts covered up some doors, but... they opened inward ;)
I sold my last side gig when it got too busy. Land clearing and forestry with heavy equipment- the last year we grossed 250k and 50% profit. Sold the company for 1x annual profit plus assets. Now I mine Bitcoin. Have iterated through a lot of the challenges mid-size miners face. I’m going to build an online course for others who want to build mining operations at my scale.
