No. The ruling party gets to appoint a new judge when one retires.

Afaik the problem is that the Democrats play nice and the Republicans take advantage of this, because why wouldn't they? Ofc each party is going to appoint a judge with alligned world views, but sitting judges don't need to show loyalty or do party politics whatsoever.

Electing judges will get them involved with party politics. They'll have to spend time campaigning, and there will be less experienced judges.

You need an editor for traditional transcription tools too :) and it's A LOT more work. They don't even do punctuation or names.

I use it for generating subtitles. It figures out context, it ignores stuttering, it does punctuation etc. It's really is just better. With clean audio it transcribes like a human does.

It does better than other techniques with dirty audio, but when it fails it fails weird, which is the big issue here.

Whisper really is a lot better when it works, and it's free. The problem is that it refuses to produce gibberish or give up when it doesn't work. You'll always need an editor.

The architecture changed, there is still progress to be made there. But LLMs will forever be stuck in 2021, all data afterwards is tainted. Not a lot has been added.

In fact, Whisper was developed to transcribe videos for more training data, because they ran out of text data. These bad transcriptions are in newer models.

It's actually extremely good at figuring out confusing text. It gets weird when the audio quality is bad.

I use it for generating subs for obscure movies.

True. Corrected. The point is that was already pretty bad and getting worse quick, so reaching 50% isn't that surprising. His policies probably slowed it down.

It only went up 11%points, which is a miracle considering the 230% inflation going on before he took office.

How much if your country would be in poverty if next year their savings and income were effectively slashed by 60%?

Something very basic and transparent like lemmy's 'scaled', sure
