If you've got RTX 5090, maybe try ninfer (https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer). Folks over on /r/localllama have been reporting wild prefill/token gen speeds with ninfer (NVFP4; 256k ctx).

iv42··on Discussion on why SQLite is gaining popularity [audio]
I was kinda wondering too, and did a (very shallow) dive into the JavaScript on that page. I'm almost positive they are using Deepgram(dot com)'s speech-to-text service. I ran whisper.cpp on that audio file on my laptop, and it does a reasonably well job too.

iv42··on Electric shocks to the tongue can quiet chronic ringing ears
Standard audiometry, usually, only produces a test that goes up to 8 kHz (functional speech recognition). An extended high frequency audiometry may, or may not be more revealing as it can go higher. It would have no bearing on your medical treatment though.
