Wrote up a long blog post about my latest project: designing a custom PCB for the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard, which stopped being manufactured causing prices to skyrocket. Covered topics include processor selection, proof of concept work, KiCad (including some useful tips), USB-C port wiring, a brief mention of OpenSCAD, assembly, and testing. Full source code for both HW and SW is included. https://techberet.com/2024/09/07/replacement-pcb-for-sculpt-rp2040

Happy to announce that catatp.fm is now fully transitioned over to Whisper for speech transcription. The entire backlog has been processed using Whisper’s large v2 model to maximize accuracy. Wrote up a blog post about learnings from the transition, how I handled Whisper’s often inaccurate timestamps, and some fun speed benchmarks comparing some different systems for transcription, and a test comparing Python Whisper to whisper.cpp. https://techberet.com/2023/02/07/catatpfm-now-with-whisper
