I bought my desktop Linux machine years

2023-03-01 20:55:02.574814+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

I bought my desktop Linux machine years ago (like 2016, maybe?) with excess RAM because I knew I was gonna be doing Chrome and Zoom on it. It's been under-serving as a home server since my current gig. But I decided to point OpenAI's "Whisper" at my video archives, and now we're seeing stuff...

(Image is of "top" showing "whisper" taking ~400% of CPU and ~10G of RAM)

Anything remarkable to report after a couple of days of processing?

It's chugging away. Kinda amazed at how bad modern voice recognition is, both that process, and Google's (I recorded last week's voice lesson on my phone, which Google dutifully transcribed). Like maybe this'll be useful for search engine bait, but it's definitely not good enough to call subtitles.
