Discover the BEST Mac apps of 2023: ua-cam.com/video/-e9638SlI7A/v-deo.html 🏆(and watch me unveil them in a suit) Appreciate each of you who decided to watch this video - hope it was helpful! Feel free to check it out if you're interested! 😊One more thing: When you try to open Upscayle the first time, you‘ll get the pop-up “The developer cannot be verified“, which prevents you from opening it. To do so anyway, right-click the app in your Applications folder and select “Open”. Despite this message, the app is commonly used and open-source. :)
I just wanted to say thank you both for the recommendations and for coming straight to the point without ANY ado. No long boring intros, directly and only the content we need, definitely feels like a new fresh air for UA-cam. Keep up the good work👍🏻
Ok you’re my go to channel for anything macOS related from now on. You go straight to it without any boring introductions. You focus on apps that are one time purchase and here with AI you put a lot of focus on offline and privacy which is something that’s really important at least for me when looking at tools like that. Truly amazing thank you for your hard work.
Really appreciate your feedback! Straight-to-the-point content is key for me - don't wanna waste anyone's time! So happy to hear you value it. I'll see you in the next one!
This video on how to make your Mac insanely smart with these 8 AI apps is unquestionably one of the best I've seen. The detailed explanation and breakdown of each app were simply outstanding, providing clear insights into the functionalities and potential uses of these tools. It's rare to find such a comprehensive, well-articulated guide, especially considering the complexity of AI technology. The impressive aspect of it all is that most of these apps are entirely free! From upscaling low-resolution images to enhancing audio recordings and transcribing video conferences, the range of capabilities showcased here is nothing short of remarkable. This tutorial not only broadens one's understanding of AI applications on Mac but also demonstrates how they can greatly enhance everyday tasks. A huge applause for such a profound and enlightening video.
2:03 the fact you thought of a symbolic prompt was a nice detail it took me a second to realize, creator of Apple, holding an Apple, in a video about an Apple product
Thank you so much you are very talented Mac Vince . And for everyone else who is watching THIS IS HOW ITS DONE ! To the point, pleasantly spoken, entertaining and packed with real necessary information :-)
Please be aware that Grammarly takes over 3-5 GB of RAM. So if you feel like your Mac is getting slower, try deactivating Grammarly and Grammarly extension. If you have the 8GB version, you will need to deactivate it
Found these videos recently, and was surprised to find some of the suggestions somewhat decent. A few notes: 1. Stop hyping up Bing Chat and spreading misinformation; everyone even slightly keyed into the AI community knows it completely sucks and its filters make it basically unusable. It's a **search engine**, NOT an AI assistant. It's also powered by Microsoft's sketchy Prometheus web scraper model and a nerfed GPT-4 that switches to 3.5 if it doesn't deem your request "sophisticated" enough for the good version. You also don't get plugins, Search, or Code Interpreter. Plus is really the only way to get access to what is **actually** the only good AI model on the market for proper work. 2. Secondly, the Whisper transcription model is restricted by paywalls for certain features, while anyone with common sense and basic CLI knowledge can download Whisper Open Source from GitHub. I have a tutorial I typed out for noobs, which I'll paste below: Hi, [Whisper](openai.com/research/whisper) is indeed Open Source and able to be commercialized as well. I've been using it to transcribe some notes and videos, and it works perfectly on my M1 MacBook Air, though the CPU gets a bit warm at 15+ minutes. It's pretty simple; about what you'd expect: go to their [GitHub](github.com/openai/whisper) at github.com/openai/whisper and follow the ReadMe instructions. The usual: if you have GitHub Desktop then clone it through the app and/or the git command, and install the rest if not with just: ```pip install -U openai-whisper```. Edit: this is the last install step. You'll need Homebrew to ```brew install ffmpeg```, which the link for can be found [**here**](brew.sh/), but the command is just: ```/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"```. Tbc, install Homebrew, ffmpeg, Python if you don't have it already, and possibly Rust depending on your system (```pip install setuptools-rust```). *Then*, after cloning the repository, install Whisper. I'll assume you have Python if you're asking about Open Sourcing it, but if not the Download link is [**here**](www.python.org/downloads/). Anyways, once you're done with installing the dependencies (of which your mileage may vary depending on how many other projects / repos you've tried to download and run before), you'll want a simple Python script to print the output of the audio file (which supports several types, but mp3 / mp4, webm, m4a, and wav up to 25 MB are probably some of the most common, info in their [Documentation](platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text/longer-inputs)): ``` import whisper model = whisper.load_model("base") # load audio and pad/trim it to fit 30 seconds audio = whisper.load_audio("audio.mp3") audio = whisper.pad_or_trim(audio) # make log-Mel spectrogram and move to the same device as the model mel = whisper.log_mel_spectrogram(audio).to(model.device) # detect the spoken language _, probs = model.detect_language(mel) print(f"Detected language: {max(probs, key=probs.get)}") # decode the audio options = whisper.DecodingOptions() result = whisper.decode(model, mel, options) # print the recognized text print(result.text) ``` You'll get about 5 files: a JSON output with the text as a single paragraph along with tokens, a .txt document of the output in lines (all punctuated and formatted as you've come to probably expect from the model, though accuracy and time may vary depending on the size of your chosen scale). I'd recommend the Vue library if you're set on certain formatting. You'll also get a .vtt or Web Video Text Tracks for transcribing your videos and the like, assuming you want to load subtitles sourced to the original time like through iina's styling and positional features. Then there's .srt or SubRip Subtitles, or the default text file for offline video playback numbered as per timestamps. And finally the .tsv or Tab-Separated Values file, which supports tab caption entries for spreadsheets and the like. These are dependent on how you like to customize your output via the Python script, but for the most part seem pretty in line with the production quality of the API, with no discernable difference when the model downgrades due to your CPU. ETA: I just typed the script as whisper.py and saved it in my home directory, *not* the root of the Git. But if you'd like to cd in your Terminal every time to print the output you're welcome to. When actually running the script, you just need to be in a directory Python environment with the dependencies installed and run, for example, ```whisper test.mp3``` and it'll then start running and printing the text and files in the directory in which you've cd'd into in your Terminal, but make sure that the audio file you'd like to transcribe is actually in the directory you're in. It's a rookie mistake, but just confirm by running the ```ls``` command and checking it's there. And that's all!
you have completly changed my mac experience my friend, just wondering would you mind telling us which editing software do you use please ? many thanks
Great video, good job! From my experience il takes a lot of GPU memory to run AI (LLM or diffusion models) on a Mac, could you share your Mac configuration with us?
sehr hilfreiche Tools&Tricks, auf den Punkt und die Videos sind auch gut aufbereitet! Dein Contenct gefällt mir sehr gut bisher und hast einen neuen Abonnenten ;)

Hi, for what do you want to use the Middle Click? As far as I know there's no middle click option on the Mac trackpad... You can basically find every trackpad customization option in the Trackpad section of System Settings. I've heard of some third-party apps that can do the middle click on the trackpad, but I've never tested them out. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help!
