Are the remasters not translated? I remember playing Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, and all the other LucasArts games when I was a child, and they were dubbed in French.
EDIT: I checked, and I was mistaken: DOTT was never dubbed in French, but Grim Fandango (and its remaster) is.
A lot of the models would be useful in a web context, to improve on the CMS we're making for clients. But they look like most of them are iOS only, few have a node package or something other, and all the benchmark are running it on modern iPhones so I doubt it would be that fast on a 20$ VPS.
Justs a heads up, people are comparing with the X4 and not the X4 classic. The classic is a brand new one released today, and it replaces the X4 on the official store.
It doesn't have a USB connector either, so it's all pogo connectors now
Do you have more information? It looks interesting

This looks nice, it also imports data from Garmin Connect?
If I use Garmin Connect to sync to Strava, should I use the Garmin integration to have more data?
I'd like to have a way to archive and keep all my workout data locally and this looks interesting

I use their Voxtral Mini STT audio model to automatically transcribe my podcasts into markdown.
Out of all the STT models I've tried, it's both the best performing and one of the cheapest!
It's really accurate, feeding the episode notes and the podcast description ensures all names are properly spelled, and speaker diarization works really great.
(I just do a Gemini flash pass at the end to identify the speakers, so it shows the host name instead of "Speaker 1")
> Springer Nature deviated from the normal practice of merely slapping the word RETRACTED across the digital version of the paper while still allowing scholars to read the text. Instead, the publisher posted a blank white page with the cryptic phrase, “This article has been withdrawn due to article violation.” Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.
The system is broken
But not at a thousand dollars.
SFF builds are more expensive and fussier to setup and cool down .
So a well made, prebuilt Steam Machine is good value when compared with an equivalent SFF
I'd love to see a comparison with both Deepseek v4 models as well
Also, W and Z are switched in the AZERTY keyboard. So maybe someone mistyped work on the wrong layout??

Because it's not in the top 20 in their benchmark, it's at #23
I had the same reaction with Deepseek V4 ! It would be more useful as a vision model

This is what I used at first.
There are also a lot of ant keeping discord communities you can lurk on.
The basic thing is just knowing what you need to start with, and really that's :
- knowing the local species, what they look like, when they take their nuptial flights
- buy some test tubes, and always keep with you a test tube with some cotton to block the opening
- walk with your head down. Notice the ants. Try to see where the entrances to their nests are. If you can, try to id them (or take a picture and ask on discord)
What you're looking for is a queen that just mated. Sometimes they still have their wings on, most of the time they don't. They really, really big ants, at first everytime I saw a big ant I thought it was a queen, but the first time you see one you'll have no doubt about it. Look at pictures of winged males as well, you can see a lot of them flying around during mating but you need to distinguish them from females.
Then once you've captured a queen (I recommend 2 or 3 of them), you transfer them to another test tube filled 2/3 with water, blocked by a cotton ball, then closed with another cotton ball.
Put the test tubes in a completely dark, silent place, where you'll keep them for a few months. During this time try to never bother them, don't look at the tubes, don't move them. This is the founding stage, of the queens are fertile and have been fecundated, and they're not stressed by the whole operation, they'll lay eggs. After a few weeks the first workers will hatch and that's when you should connect the tube to an outworld so you can feed them without disturbing them in their nest/test tube!
So really buy some test tube, read up on ants and look down, and you're set for a few months!
I got into antkeeping after reading a comment on this very site about what a cool hobby this was (and having been fascinated by ants since my childhood).
I fell into the rabbit hole of types of formicariums, species identification. I settled on my "favourite" specy that I wanted to have that was endemic to my region. I bought a queen + 3 workers from a reputed seller, but they waited a week before sending the test tube and when they sent it it the queen was dead on arrival :(
So I decided to just look for signs of nuptials flights in my city and look for a queen myself, it was a really fun summer! Always looking at the pavement when walking outside, keeping test tubes in my bag, taking long walks in the morning after it rained because it was the ideal conditions for some of the species I wanted.
In the end, one afternoon I found that dozens and dozens of queens had taken their nuptials flights all over the city, it was awesome to notice this for the first time.
So I got a queen of one of the most numerous and unremarkable species in the region, it's been two years and it's been really fun. A really not that expensive hobby! If even if you're not into diy (like I am) you need only a test tube to get started, and then later when the first workers arrive a foraging area that can just be a plastic container.
Really recommend it, and I'm not interested at all in buying exotic species. Sure, leafcutter ants look awesome, but I wouldn't keep a snake in my house either!
Because I have more vertical space in my kitchen than I got horizontal one.
It actually is, don't know for how long but it prompted me to try this a few days ago

I don't know if that will change, but right now only the Voxtral Mini Transcribe V2 supports diarization and it's not open-weight.
The Voxtral Realtime model doesn't support diarization, but is open-weight.
You can test it yourself for free on

I tried it on an english-speaking podcast episode, and apart from identying one host as two different speakers (but only once for a few sentences at the start), the rest was flawless from what I could see

Yes and the discussion here is about how that's not something that might be possible in the future, based on M1 and M2 support still being partial and M3 really experimental
They're talking about assistants, not models, so try using the gemini or perplexity app?
