I noticed that the last 4 digits of the card used with Apple Pay is different every time I pay (I use my Apple Watch mostly). Not use between merchants but also with the same merchant.

Wouldn't it be great to know what fares are cheap right now if you are flexible with dates and destinations before you even book? That's where Mighty Travels PREMIUM comes in. You can see the best deals from the US to Europe or the best deals going into Cape Town.

4D chess by Qatar Airways to stay in the game and get relevant publicity. Ignoring it would have gathered no headlines - this way it’s abuzz. With social media there is no bad PR. We should have all learned that some time ago.

I think people underestimate how hard it is to truly evaluate someone else’s business. Imagine you hear bullshit every day - you just can’t call people out on it. So in the end you go with something you can actually properly evaluate because of some inside you have as an investor. Of the this ends up being a theme.

From what I can see it is parallel batch processing - default for that repo is 24. You can reduce batches and if you use 1 it's as fast or slow as Whisper. Quality is the exact same (same large model used).

I tried as short as 10s and it still provides just something random. How short does the audio need to be? Text works fine but can’t get audio-to-audio to work.

Like how easy it is to get going but you need to download about 20GB and s2st needs 40GB GPU RAM!

It runs but any audio input (you will need to provide wav not mp3's) I tried (tried 20s/40s/300s) I get just one short sentence returned in target language that seems not related at all to my audio input (i.e. Tous les humains sont créés égaux).

Seems like some default text but it runs on full GPU for 10 minutes. Tons of bug reports in GitHub as well.

Text Translate works but not sure what is the context length of the model. Seems short at first glance (haven't looked into it).

Oh and why is Whisper a dependency? Seems not need if FB has their own model?

Assuming that each email is about 10 KB in size, sending 1,000,000 emails with Azure would cost:

• $0.00025 x 1,000,000 = $250 for sending emails

• $0.00012 x 10 KB x 1,000,000 = $1.2 for transferring data

• Total cost = $251.2
