🔴 💬 Would you choose a PhD advisor who gives you complete freedom but almost no guidance? [D] — score 94 Sources: reddit/r/MachineLearning

It’s an ML PhD with secure funding for 4–5 years and a senior, respected advisor. You get almost complete freedom to choose your own topics, projects, and collaborations, with very little micromanagement. The downside is that the advisor is also very hands-off. You should expect little guidance, fee

🔴 💬 Best STT API for voice agents: stop asking WER first, ask when the agent gets usable text. — score 94 Sources: reddit/r/AIAgents

I think “best STT API for voice agents” gets answered wrong most of the time. People jump straight to WER. WER matters, but it is not the first thing I’d check for a live voice agent. The real question is: when does the agent get text it can safely use? Because the user is sitting there waiting. A t
