  • So stupid ass questions frankly. So loaded it should be a NYC hotdog.

    • 01| Would you take a 32-hour week if your pay stayed exactly the same?
    • 02| Have you ever paid extra for oat milk to protest an extractive food system?
    • 03| Have you ever waited 14 weeks for a library book rather than pay $16 for it?
    • 04| Have you ever worn a keffiyeh to Starbucks?
    • 05| Should health care be free at the point of use?
    • 06| Do you own an anti-capitalist tote bag?
    • 07| Should Washington own a piece of Intel to keep up with China?
    • 08| Have you ever announced that you were leaving X…on X?
    • 09| Do you belong to an HOA?
    • 10| Have you ever gone to therapy to talk about capitalism?
    • 11| Should ICE be abolished?
    • 12| Would you trust City Hall with your electricity?
    • 13| Should all public college be free, and existing student debt be canceled?
    • 14| Do you hate landlords but love your Airbnb?
    • 15| Do you support strikes when they inconvenience you?
    • 16| Would you shop at a government supermarket if the groceries were 30 percent cheaper?
    • 17| Should billionaires face aggressive wealth taxes?
    • 18| Should the United States abolish the Electoral College?
    • 19| Have you ever supported a free bus by not paying for one that wasn’t free yet?
    • 20| Would you rather live in the America imagined by the 1912 Socialist Party than the America of 1912?

    Edit: To be clear, this feels like a quiz you’d take from a women’s health magazine, not a policy lead rational engagement. Provocation is the game, not reason.



  • As someone who built my own internal self host infrastructure for transcriptions with speaker diarisation, my own app for myself, my own 3-2-1 archive solution, using runpod and modal alongside my own VPS and at he hardware…

    I’ll say i’m interested. However I also know the big challenge with this is the tradeoff of time. You can run WhisperX or Parakeet locally, but it takes longer than using proper hardware. If you don’t need it in minutes after the meeting /conference/ whatever, then it can work. Shortcutting around it by model reductions, just makes it less accurate which has it’s own consequences.

    Overall this field is ripe for self-hosting.
