As Snowden told us, video and audio recording capabilities of your devices are NSA spying vectors. OSS/Linux is a safeguard against such capabilities. The massive datacenter investments in US will be used to classify us all into a patriotic (for Israel)/Oligarchist social credit score, and every mega tech company can increase profits through NSA cooperation, and are legally obligated to cooperate with all government orders.

Speech to text and speech automation are useful tech, though always listening state sponsored terrorists is a non-NSA targeted path for sweeping future social credit classifications of your past life.

Some small LLMs that can be used for speech to text: https://modal.com/blog/open-source-stt

Oh, I forgot!

You should check out Lemonade:

https://github.com/lemonade-sdk/lemonade

It's supports Ryzen NPUs via 2 different runtimes... though apparently not the 8000 series yet?

I've actually been eyeing lemonade, but the lack of Dockerisation is still an issue... guess I'll just DIY it at one point.

It's all C++ now, so it doesn't really need docker! I don't use docker for any ML stuff, just pip/uv venvs.

You might consider Arch (dockerless) ROCM soon; it looks like 7.1 is in the staging repo right now.

Due to the fact I am running UnRaid on the node in question, I kinda do need Docker. I want to avoid messing with the core OS as much as possible, plus a Dockerised app is always easier to restore.
