Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:

(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

With Whisper-Hindi, high-performance ASR no longer demands massive compute — just a single RTX 4090 and a few smart tricks are enough to reach state-of-the-art results. https://col.la/whisperhindi2 #Transcription #S2T #ML #AI #OpenSource
Unleashing gst-python-ml: Python-powered ML analytics for #GStreamer pipelines. The perfect duo to run complex models across multiple streams. https://col.la/gstpythonml #Python #Pytorch #AI #OpenSource
Technik löst keine sozialen Probleme.
Wir können noch so viele #KI / #AI Kaffeeautomaten, Chat Bots, Drohnen, Telefondienste,... entwickeln und einsetzen.
Am Ende des Tages werden nur ein Buchteil dieser technologischen super tollen Dinge dem Mensch / der Gesellschaft bei den wichtigen Problemen helfen.
Es wird aber sicherlich einige Menschen geben, die damit Geld verdienen werden. Vielleicht sogar Aufgrund von Geschäftsmodellen, die mehr soziale Problem schafft, als welche zu lösen.
After cleaning up and expanding Whisper-Hindi to 3,000 hours, we now have explicit timestamp prediction, faster I/O, and fine-tuned models across all sizes, bringing us even closer to fully reliable, production-ready Hindi ASR: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/breaking-language-barriers-20-moving-closer-production-ready-hindi-asr.html
