A basic (and user-friendly) guide on how to run whisper-large-v3 on Google Colab:

https://github.com/ALiwoto/whisper-large-v3/blob/master/colab.md

it also include screenshots for better understanding
similarly, you can run any other Jupiter Notebook you want in there.
take note that the session cannot stay idle for too long, and it has a fair-usage quota (if you exceed that, Google won't give you GPU for the next ~24 hours)

The phrase "timezones, people, timezones" (sometimes written as "time zones, people, time zones") became a popular expression in tech and remote work communities, particularly on social media platforms like Twitter and in professional settings.

The phrase is often used as an exasperated reminder or gentle scolding when people fail to consider time zone differences when scheduling meetings or making plans across different geographical locations. It gained particular prominence during the rise of remote work and global collaboration, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The repetition of "timezones" in the phrase emphasizes its importance and adds a somewhat humorous, meme-like quality to the expression. It's similar in structure to other popular phrases like "location, location, location" in real estate.

The phrase typically comes up in situations like:
- Someone scheduling a meeting at 9 AM their time without specifying the time zone
- People assuming everyone is in their local time zone
- Meeting invites without clear time zone indicators
- Global team communications without time zone context

It serves as a shorthand way of saying "Please remember that not everyone lives in your time zone, and we need to be mindful of this when coordinating across global teams."

Digital Twin Brain
https://github.com/DTB-consortium/Digital_twin_brain-open

Here, we present the Digital Brain (DB), a platform for simulating spiking neuronal networks at the large neuron scale of the human brain based on personalized magneticresonance-imaging data and biological constraints. The DB aims to reproduce both the resting state and certain aspects of the action of the human brain. An architecture with up to 86 billion neurons and 14,012 GPUs, including a two-level routing scheme between GPUs to accelerate spike transmission up to 47.8 trillion neuronal synapses, was implemented as part of the simulations. We show that the DB can reproduce blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals of the resting-state of the human brain with a high correlation coefficient, as well as interact with its perceptual input, as demonstrated in a visual task. These results indicate the feasibility of implementing a digital representation of the human brain, which can open the door to a broad range of potential applications.

TIL Google Code was a thing

https://code.google.com/archive/

Welcome! The Google Code Archive contains the data found on the Google Code Project Hosting Service, which was turned down in early 2016.

This archive contains over 1.4 million projects, 1.5 million downloads, and 12.6 million issues.
TIL about ELIZA, a 1960s chatbot created by MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum that simulated a psychotherapist.

[source, comments]

ELIZA wasn't actually "smart" in the way we think of AI today. It used a very simple pattern-matching system and didn't understand language or context at all. The program basically worked by:

1. Looking for specific keywords in user input
2. Applying simple transformation rules
3. Reflecting statements back as questions
4. Using a few pre-programmed responses when it couldn't match patterns

For example, if you said "I am feeling sad", ELIZA might respond "Why do you feel sad?" - simply taking your statement and turning it into a question. Or if you mentioned your mother, it would ask about your family.

The fascinating thing about ELIZA was not its technical sophistication (which was very basic), but rather how people *responded* to it. Even though it was using simple tricks, people projected meaning onto its responses and felt like they were having a real conversation. This is known as the "ELIZA effect" - where people attribute human-like understanding to computer programs.

Regarding the 2023 study you mentioned - while interesting, it's important to note that ELIZA only performed better in very specific circumstances and the study has been subject to some criticism regarding its methodology.
