I switched to a decision model for my local "AI" voice control thingy. faster-whisper produces the text then onnx scores all my HA entities to determine which one I'm talking about .. then it lists all its actions and a second scoring round to determine what action I want. some regex to extract numbers if I'm saying things like "water the lawn for 10 minutes". It's pretty dumb when compared to what an LLM can do but considering you now have semantic scoring "at your finger tips" without resorting to levenshteins or other crude algorithms like that it's insane how smart it can look.

And to answer the obvious question: because latency. This thing turns on the light or water valve in under 100ms on a laptop from 2001 with 8gb ram .. all running locally on the laptop.

I have to say, after the recent Performative UI post here on HN, I was not expecting an apache foundation project to have gradient words on the landing page.

if, like me, you're a non-native english and speaker don't immediately understand what this is about: the page shows for each `n` what's the minimum `s` such that `n` squares with side of length 1 fit in a square with side of length `s`.

what I'm curious about though is what a proof for something like this looks like. and why does it need a proof? not to mention the randomness of some of the `n`s. Math is most of the time beatiful and whenever I see something like `n=11` I think "it looks wrong so it must be wrong" yet it has a proof.

how can you claim in the readme "no per-language vendor SDK" and then link to a list of per-language client SDKs?

that's actually one thing I don't like but they're essentially forcing you to go 4k for the 10khz pwm.

otherwise, why would you want a resolution you're going to scale to 150% or even 200% anyway just to be able to read it anywhere outside?

... and eating into your battery

there is great hardware other than what Apple produces. It's actually the OS the reason people are buying their hardware for.

I see nothing stopping you from buying a 16" Razer Blade and putting whatever non-Orwellian OS you want on it

At this point it must be intentional that there's always something uncanny about these fake pages. That google logo is so old that if I see it I immediately know to get out of there.

So I find it fascinating how there's always the odd typo, the old logo, the impossible combination of iPhone needing an antivirus, etc and I refuse to believe is incompetence.
