While I get the point, two servers running Freeswitch combined with a bit of python and a regular rsyncing of the user data would give one pretty good uptime for monitoring.
Microsoft doesn't have to make tthe best browser, the inertia of having a "good" browser that is the default and hard to change away from gets many of their customers to use Edge until someone or something prompts them to switch.
I would bet it is a mix of columns A & B, but maintaining logs of CGNAT must have required significant developement effort and integration between the Chinese ISPs and the state surveillance apparatus. You'd think going IPv6 would be easier than doing all that :P
I feel like the core product is pretty easily replicated with Freeswitch and tailored with a little configuration. Eg: Ring a phone for 30 seconds (so as not to leave a message accidentally), if answered read back the issue (using text to speech), otherwise send the phone a text and <insert whatever else you want to do>.
Having set systems like this up for numerous clients, the latter bit is usually a case of waiting a few minutes for the on call person to either accept the alert, or failing that move onto whoever the fallback is for that person.
Nevermind that scheduling family members to work can be much easier than a worker you hire, which lets a small business run with fewer employees working more valuable hours.
Didn't someone at the Tor Project analyse these Blue Coat MiTM boxes and find a cross-signed intermediate signing certificate preloaded, with the option to load your own signing cert so one could MiTM with ease? This was more than a few years back...
Similar experience on a Thinkpad T440 with a 1080p screen swap, I can easily go 5 hours before I need to swap to the big battery, which buys ne a few more hours. Games seem to halve that though...
Any chance there is a mirror of the BaiduEN8k Model that isn't in China? I'm getting about 20KB/s when trying to download it, and using a DNS override to 180.76.189.142 for cloud.dlnel.org gets me what looks to be a partial file at slightly less than 200MB in size.
Ah, I just asked a similar question of the person you initially replied to. The Baidu DeepSpeech 2 model seems appealing, but from my brief look on Github I haven't found the model files...
Any links to Baidu's DeepSpeech 2 pretrained model? I'm likely looking right past it, spent the past few days playing around with Mozilla DeepSpeech and their pretrained model, building a simple little API and webpags to feed it files: https://github.com/AccelerateNetworks/DeepSpeech_Frontend
I really want to put DeepSpeech 2 with Baidu's model up against Mozilla's model and see which is better, seems like it could be quite interesting!
DeepSpeech is not a voice corpus, that would be Mozilla's Common Voice project that Mycroft users are also contributing to.
DeepSpeech offers trained models that are about 70% right, but none of them use the Common Voice corpus yet. I think that plus recent changes to the codebase should produce a much better transcription, but I don't have the GPU resources to go and train a model sadly, Mozilla will hopefully release another trained model soon though!
The downloads total a bit above 2GB for Mozilla Deepspeech 0.1.1, but besides that DeepSpeech is quick to set up and pretty performant on my i5-4200U (half realtime transcription) and its even better on my Ryzen box. Going to do some GPU testing tomorrow, need to clean up the docs on the little web frontend/API I've been trying to get ready for production use: https://github.com/AccelerateNetworks/DeepSpeech_Frontend
