Microsoft allows you create a second "login only" account username to access your e-mail and other services. I was having the same problem as you but much worse. Check into it, only takes a few minutes to setup.
It's a very common security technique to avoid being targeted by malware. I believe even the Microsoft KSLDriver drops randomly named DLL and device drivers along with creating a randomly named system service. Uses 8 hex characters.
Several third-party vendors use the same technique, mostly security vendors.
Looks like Moonshine is competing against the Whisper-tiny model. There isn't any information in the paper to see how it compares to the larger whisper-large-v3.
Yeah, I get what you're saying but both are challenging the current MatMul methods. The L-Mul paper claims "a power savings of 95%" and that is the thread topic. Bitnet proves that at least 70% is possible by getting rid of MatMul.
Run the non-quantized version of the model on your 3090/4090 gpu and observe the power draw. Then load the 1.58 model and observe the power usage. Sure, the numbers have a wide range because there are many gpu/npu to make the comparison.
