on: Voice2json: Offline speech and intent recognition on Linux
Some do, some don't, sure. Google STT for example supports class tokens natively. There are also services like uniMRCP that allow for certain SRGS grammar features to be used with Google STT, but they are limited in what constructs they support. I've worked pretty extensively with a platform called Verbio, and they fully support the SRGS grammar specification. I work in conversational AI, and when I do implementations, I have to evaluate the complexity of the use case and whether or not a full grammar will be needed and choose a STT provider based on that.

Really interesting use of intents and entities. I feel like some of this is reinventing the wheel, since there is already a grammar specification, but novel use of intents/entities.

Collaboration was certainly my driver for using Google Sheets, but most, if not all, of that functionality is in Excel Online now.

Yeah, calling that video a "deepfake" sounds like someone has no idea what they are talking about.

>>Sitting at your desk == not busy in their mind
Maddeningly, these are the same people who feel like you have to be in the office 100% of the time so they feel like you are working.

I am in this situation pretty frequently. Are you just a solid communicator? I know I tend to get roped into meetings because I'm good at leading meetings, while other engineers are frankly terrible at it.

on: Google chief: I'd disclose smart speakers before guests enter my home
I have kids. They forget to turn off lights, mess with my thermostat, leave doors unlocked. The peace of mind of being able to remotely check/access/control all of this is great.

Wow I haven't thought of Hiren's in over a decade. I used to use it daily back in my desktop support days working with XP. Very interesting to see a new version.

Yeah, I came here to say this. The title here suggests that the FDA just banned them. They have not. Misleading at best, straight up lying at worst.

Verbio offers an ASR with built-in grammars, which is what you are asking for. Deepspeech is hot garbage in my experience.

Trump has created 515 businesses and only 11 of them failed. That's a 98.64% success rate. He has a better track record than Elon Musk by an order of magnitude.

Can you elaborate on some of these books you are referring to? I'm a self taught developer in his first real, institutional engineering role and I am worried I'm in over my head sometimes and would love to read some "must haves".

Working as intended? The tax code is designed to encourage this kind of reinvestment.
