My father was 76 and started to forget things, basic things like what he did yesterday, who we met the week before (family from overseas who we haven’t seen in years)…
This is when I realised it was getting serious. But he’s a Norwegian born in the 40s, so talking about his mental health and opening up to him is near impossible.
I did call him out on these massive lapses in memory, but jokingly though.
However, without formally addressing anything, he started out of no where and never, ever before doing it my entire life: sudoku.
1-2 hours a day, then more, all the time.
He’s now in his mid 80s and as sharp as ever.
I know he went and saw a GP, and they prescribed sodoku.
But the effectiveness of it, taken seriously, is absolutely incredible.
I think you answered my question, although indirectly. I thought there was competing standards (if that's even the right word, I don't know) for note-taking.
YAML is more for configuration and meta-data, so my original question didn't make a lot of sense.
You've helped clear my confusions so for that, thanks so much!
As for Obsidian, I just wasn't super keen having a whole extra app just for my note-taking. I like simple Notepad++ (or Geany, now that I'm moved to nix), as it can work on any files, not just text/MD/note docs.
Has anyone checked out Fox News recently? There is zero, and I mean zero coverage of the implications of the tariffs. W.T.F. At what point do you go “okay, we’re actually on par with North Korea”?
I think since the Snowden revelations it’s pretty clear there is no holds barred in terms of intelligence overreach from practically every angle and state.
What’s happening now, with the tariffs, is really wild (but ultra dumb imho) territory…
I do think that’s a massive factor. I hate to generalise as is a massively complex issue but I do feel most young men online are angry that they aren’t getting more interactions with women. Technology hasn’t helped that at all. I’m wondering if there’s a way to try reverse that. Education is obviously key but it popular and accepted is super hard
I shouldn’t have even mentioned woke to be honest. I’m a liberal but there’s loads of things I’m conservative about. What I think can bring everyone together is to teach kids to respect one another. That’s what’s missing online: common decency and respect. Sure that’s something that’s likely never going to be solved, but I’d love some way to combat the spread/reach of misogyny especially among kids who have no idea what they’re wading into
I'm not woke, and personally hate that term. But I have two young boys that are coming to the age where they might be exposed to the online cancer that is Andrew Tate and his ilk.
I have the ability to sponsor/build a project with the goal of improving young male minds so that they can get direction, respect women and hopefully realise their intrinsic morals and ethics.
I think you guys know that most of us have these, but youth are especially susceptible to twisting and ultimately ruining that.
I am keen on hearing some ideas to help combat this and building/sponsoring some ideas.
For me, my outlet is art, but that might not appeal to the broader audience. If anyone has a great idea, I would LOVE to hear it.
Honestly, thank you for giving me the platform to discuss this.
I moved to GoDot, which has been surprisingly decent. The risk of the policy and price changes, along with a genuine curiosity of the progress of GoDot was the reason for the move.
Installing was okay, but it was not running on any of the sample files I had. This is the output I got:
UserWarning: You are using a softmax over axis 3 of a tensor of shape (1, 8, 1, 1). This axis has size 1. The softmax operation will always return the value 1, which is likely not what you intended. Did you mean to use a sigmoid instead?

I know this isn't the right place for this, the right place is raising within github, but because you asked I posted...
There are libraries that can help with this, such as SpeechRecognition for python. If all you're looking for is short terms with minimal background noise, this should do it for you.
The section "3.2. Training data collection & preprocessing" covers what you're inquiring about:
"We train Moonshine on a combination of 90K hours
from open ASR datasets and over 100K hours from own
internally-prepared dataset, totalling around 200K hours.
From open datasets, we use Common Voice 16.1 (Ardila
et al., 2020), the AMI corpus (Carletta et al., 2005), Gi-
gaSpeech (Chen et al., 2021), LibriSpeech (Panayotov
et al., 2015), the English subset of multilingual Lib-
riSpeech (Pratap et al., 2020), and People’s Speech (Galvez
et al., 2021). We then augment this training corpus with
data that we collect from openly-available sources on the
web. We discuss preparation methods for our self-collected
data in the following."
I don't mean to give negative feedback, as I don't consider myself a full-blown expert with Python/ML, however, for someone with passing experience, it fails out of the box for me, with and without the typically required 16Hz bit rate audio files (of various codecs/formats).
Was really hoping it would be a quick, brilliant solution to something I'm working on now, perhaps I'll dig in and invest in it, but I'm not sure I have the luxury right now to do the exploratory work... Hope someone else has better luck than I!
Scrapping the jQuery is definitely useful to recreate it, thanks for that. The only thing I would do extra is adding in HTML, HEAD and BODY tags to make it a bit more syntactically correct...
Your version is nice too!
