Home Assistant uses the Wyoming protocol to talk to Whisper, Piper, and the various other components of the speech pipeline. Might be something to check out?
You said "especially if you whisper" which I read as a level of speaking, primarily because I have experienced difficulty with Whisper while whispering :)
click parent on your comment and see my comment to your sibling, i was just obfuscating while being glib. I listed everything you need to run a voice assistant, at least software-wise.
It is literally impossible to transcribe voice, especially if you whisper. There's no way to model the language, it's too large - amanzon has many computers. Your computer is like a tortoise, it can't do text-to-speech. There's no way you can get any of this to use the Web, Dav... er, Cal. Trying to do this would be like trying to torch a python with your bare metal hands.

Maybe not if all you're doing is hooking some nodes together. That said, I have personally used these Tailscale features that with a quick glance I don't see Meshnet having:
- ephemeral nodes are super useful for things like attaching a GitHub action runner or a fly.io instance to your tailnet
- Tailscale's ACL system has a ton of capabilities
- getting corporate buy-in is possible, vs trying to get a business to buy into Nord meshnet for actual workloads
I have worked at a place with serious opsec and none of that was allowed. Everything pointed at private mirrors containing vetted packages. Very few people had the permissions to write to those repos.
It is incredibly foolish to entertain this offer. OPM v Richmond[1] held that the government has effectively zero liability for lying about financial benefits that haven't been specifically authorized by Congress.
I don't have a 12 year old (yet) but my 8 year old has mood swings when they're too cold, too hot, have a headache, the tv remote doesn't work, their tablet runs out of time, their tablet runs out of battery, when they're hungry, thirsty, and/or tired (the preceding is non-inclusive, sometimes they have a mood swing for no perceptible reason).
Yeah, but the times I've seen parents actually address/redirect bad behavior or of their kids in constructive ways are few and far apart, many sort of gave up or go to the other extreme. Small kids lack a great deal of emotional empathy and can wear a decent adult down very fast if right buttons are pushed at right time, so thats tricky to say at least. But then again its the greatest achievement in most people's lives (to raise their kids well just to be clear) so some proper effort long term should be spent here.
Good parenting consistently is hard, very hard and sometimes basically impossible, but the difference between parents who at least try hard to raise kids well and those who sort of gave up on their kids is striking (tiktok and other digital stuff is a good yardstick of overall state of this, when I see kids of other folks using it and clearly addicted I am losing all respect for those folks as parents, and its always a big bag of various failures and neglect coming along). Its heartbreaking to experience, especially the powerlessness.
Yea if I see a 4 year old with an ipad in a restaurant I lose respect for the parents. Parenting is hard, and everyone fails at some point but there are certain things I have never comprised on and social media/digital crack at a young age is one of them.
Well this attitude is why millennials are both failing to have enough kids and miserable as parents.
We had kids in our 20s and my daughter has been glued to her iPad since she was 2. Her grades are better than mine were at her age, she has artistic hobbies (makes jewelry, paints). She’s maybe a tidge slower than I was on reading, but that might be pandemic.
Note that Tik Tok is different than “social media” in that it doesn’t really allow for the gossip and backbiting within enclosed groups that typifies say Facebook. The most emotionally upsetting thing for her seems to be normal girl-girl social conflict, especially through her iMessage group chat.
Whats far more important than academic skills are social skills, how she fares on that aspect? Thats where real threat of this lies, not general population having IQ 80.
Life without good or at least normal social skills is pretty miserable in many aspects, almost can't be fixed once adult, and has much larger impact on what I call 'life success' than career can ever have.
4 year olds have always gotten some amount of TV time, right? Is it that horrible for a parent to give them the TV time at the restaurant so they aren't running around / screaming / bothering other patrons instead? (Which of course you can also judge a parent for, but then the only answer may be for one parent to have to leave with the kid).
It doesn't mean the kid is also using the iPad at home for hours on end. Or consuming anything other than Bluey / Paw Patrol / Sing 2...
> so they aren't running around / screaming / bothering other patrons
Going to a restaurant when I was a young kid was considered a treat and special occasion, and if I misbehaved, I was out of there immediately. I quickly learned to sit in my chair, eat my food, and not be disruptive.
I think people in general these days act with a higher sense of entitlement, and that translates to parents believing that it's fine for them to go to restaurants because they want to, ignoring whether or not it's appropriate for their children, somehow also believing that they "deserve a break" and their kids' disruptive behaviors in public aren't their problem. But no, screw that: if your children won't behave at restaurants, don't bring them along. If you can't find a sitter, then you don't get to go either. (If you can't afford a sitter, then you probably can't afford going out to a restaurant either.)
> ...to give them the TV time at the restaurant...
I would have less of a problem with this if the kid was using headphones (I know, risky for their ears at a young age if they also have control of the volume), or if the tablet could be kept quiet enough so I can't hear it at my nearby table. But that's rarely the case.
But hey, sure, if you can give your kid TV time at a restaurant without me having to listen to it, I guess that's fine. I think that's a poor substitute for actually teaching kids how to behave in public, but I'm not that kid's parent, and that's just my opinion.
