what US trauma supposed to be in this case? Only Americal Civil War and American Revolutionary War comes to my mind but have no clue how middle east mess could trigger those traumas?
The only traumas maybe related to money is ... Great Depression but it's not like somebody else was responsible for that
you are simplifying too much - whats then US trauma in this case and all other cases of invasion and coups in the lat 75 years?
Maybe trauma you are talking about it's just excuse to control opinion of voters and manufacture consent but under the hood its just all about power and being rich (not always but in many cases).
Humoring the notion, America is a capitalist enterprise that put on the religious and humanist airs that were conveniently en vogue at the time of its founding, and which it always goes back to when its economic reality becomes too onerous. The contradiction baked into our existence is felt subconsciously by most, and there is a psychological toll taken in knowing that your society is built, in part, on hypocrisy, and having to be vigilant for when the other shoe inevitably drops, so that you can at least get out alive.
You probably still better use inference on ANE (Apple Neural Engine) via CoreML rather than Metal - speed will be either similar or even faster on non-pro macbooks or iphones and power consumption significantly better. Metal or even MLX format doesn't have to be the fastest and the only way to access ANE is via CoreML.
The CoreML backend is WIP in Axiom and will roll over to parakeet.cpp when it's ready, the same with CUDA. FluidAudio is a great option for those building Mac-only apps, but the goal with Axiom and Parakeet.cpp is to be very portable and embeddable into almost any app. I will write C and Swift wrappers shortly, then if it's really wanted, a Python wrapper.
haven't tested yet but I'm wondering how it will behave when talking about many IT jargon and tech acronyms. For those reason I had to mostly run LLM after STT but that was slowing done parakeet inference. Otherwise had problems to detect properly sometimes when talking about e.g. about CoreML, int8, fp16, half float, ARKit, AVFoundation, ONNX etc.
This transformation back then took many many decades like few generations. People had time to adopt - it worked like this: as a kid you have seen family business was going worse, the writing was on the wall and teenagers pursued different professions. This time you won't have time to pivot different profession - most likely you will have not clue where to pivot to.

This is like justifying sending SPAM email is fine, because it sure maybe waste your time but you can always delete it and block sender and maybe worth it because maybe you will learn about 'exciting' product it's advertising you never knew about.
Yeah, the vibe of this post is that of a 2000 Viagra spam king coming forward and telling the world "yes, but... what are good and bad, really? Who's to say what's right and wrong?"
Maybe we can't stop you today, but we can keep you on the shit list.
AFAIK they haven't released this one as OSS yet. They might eventually but its pretty obvious to me that at one point all/most those more powerful chinese models probably will stop being OSS.
Sure enjoy your retirement. But for me it's annoying some late 50s+ people telling what you just did. Think about people who are in their 20s or 30s - they are not even halfway through their path to retirement and some maybe even still paying out student debt.
> Stop whining and start doing stuff you love.
You have to understand that it's hard to do stuff that you love when you have to feed your family and pay mortgage or rent. Not everyone can be or want to be entrepreneur.
You are just talking from perspective of someone who already paid all debts raised all kids and now enjoying or soon will be enjoying retirement - at least meaning you can retire even if maybe don't want to.
Retired? I'm not retired and likely won't be for another 8 years.

The author of TFA is at least 50!
> You are just talking from perspective of someone who already paid all debts raised all kids
That part is true. But that was more or less true when I was 50, too.
Finally, the article wasn't about the shitty economic world that we've created for so many people, it was about how programming has changed. Those two are inter-related but they are not the same.
> To me the hard problem isn’t building things, it’s knowing what to build (finding the things that provide value) and how to build it (e.g. finding novel approaches to doing something that makes something possible that wasn’t possible before).
The problem with this that after doing this hard work someone can just copy easily your hard work and UI/UX taste. I think distribution will be very important in the future.
We might end up that in future that you have already in social media where influencers copy someones post/video and not giving credits to original author.
>The problem with this that after doing this hard work someone can just copy easily your hard work and UI/UX taste.
Or indeed, somebody might steal and launder your work by scooping them up into a training set for their model and letting it spit out sloppy versions of your thing.
I didn't come in IT for money - back in the days it wasn't as well paid as today - nevertheless if this craft was very poorly paid I probably wouldn't choose this profession either. And I assume many people here wouldn't as well unless you are already semi-retired or debt free.
I mourn a little bit that in 20 years possibly 50% of software jobs will get axed or unless you are elite/celebrity dev salary will stagnate. I mourn that in the future upward mobility and moving up into upper middle class will be harder without trying to be entrepreneur.
