100% of AVX/AVX2 have 256 SIMD registers, and Arm also has non-NEON registers, which are 256/512. of course, this requires runtime detection, but that is ok because even for native code, people need to do that.
"Know" is a vague word. Everyone should know one language inside out as if they can code within a Notepad without IDE support. I think if you know three languages really well, that puts you in the top 1% of devs. I would go for C, Python, and JS.
It's interesting to see the cycle. Alexa said everyone wanted to toggle the lights and get the weather forecast. Hence, they folded. Now, we are back with "stronger" tech and want people to change their behavior.
Have you noted that the board has no connectivity chip? If I had a way to connect to internet without the required chip I had a better story to tell. You snippet of FAQ is correct for all other platforms we support aside from microcontrollers ...
Picovoice runs on almost anything: web browsers, mobile, desktop, single board computers, and microcontrollers. For the platforms that have connectivity (i.e. almost anything aside from microcontrollers), we do call home for license management. This helps us keep the `Free Tier` free for personal users, hackers , and skunkworks projects, but make sure we get paid by enterprise customers with deployments at scale [1]. On a microcontroller like the one in this tutorial, there is NO connectivity option. Hence, in this specific case it is 100% offline with no license management. In other cases voice recognition is 100% offline but the call home for license management needs connectivity.
Yeah, I post about my company that I founded and I am super into it. Which part of this is MISLEADING? The fact that I care or are you saying Picovoice's tech doesn't work? I made the latter easy cause you can now go and try it without me in your way. You comment is misleading.
I'm sure smart people can find a way to hack this! But check my other comment, the chip does NOT have connectivity module. Don't take it from me. Read the ST's product spec.
have you noted that there is `Free Tier` that cost you $0? You can train using that. For this tutorial the cost of board ($20) is all you need to pay. Same for personal projects and even small skunkworks projects within companies. Picovoice makes money from large-scale deployments done by device makers
