Resemble AI creates high-quality synthetic voices that capture human emotion. We're a venture-backed high-growth startup that's looking to shake up an entire industry with state of the art AI.

Our product changes the way that thousands of brands, media companies, creative agencies, and game studios work with voice content.

We’re a remote-first team that thrives on flexibility and creativeness. We cover expenses for office space, equipment, and all of the other perks and benefits that make you productive. We also believe that to build an enticing product and solid team is by encouraging innovation is by enabling continuous education. That's why every other Friday is a day that you can use to work on anything you want, Resemble-related or not.

We're hiring for two roles:

Backend/Infrastructure Engineer - Looking for those that take pride in creating robust distributed systems. Most of the work is in Python and we use GCP as our cloud provider.

Full Stack Engineer - Product-driven Engineer that is able to craft end-to-end features. We work with Ruby on Rails, React, with microservices written in Python and deployed on GCP.

If interested, reach out directly to me: zohaib@resemble.ai
Yes, and not only that, on the other end, when the danger indicators become too frequent, they end up merely being seen as noise.

( E.g., see California cancer warnings on just about everything -- makes it hard to distinguish between the <thing that will kill you now> vs the <thing that may increase your chance of a curable cancer by 1/10^6>, so it all gets ignored. )
It's basically the same as what happened two months ago with Firefox for Android being EOL'd pending a major re-write that may or may not support extensions. Mozilla is not willing to publicly commit to keeping their key features alive, and they keep hinting at the possibility that they will be leaving users behind in an attempt to be more like Chrome.
by itself it won't, but they've been working on various optimizations to shorten startup time.

A few ms isn't much by itself, but when you add up a bunch of small optimizations like this one, it can add up to be a significant improvement.
Chromebooks specifically? What's the difference, if the point is just to get kids to interact with an online worksheet/test web-app; or to write a research report (a common reason a class period was spent in a computer lab ten years ago); or to just have their textbooks loaded onto them? For all of those activities, all you need is a web browser; it doesn't matter what it's running on.

(Also, if you're clever, you can do things like finding a web-app that lets you use them as a substitute for those vote-clickers that some university lecturers use to gauge pre-lesson knowledgeability.)
This should be the top comment. Every time I think having a package delivered to my door would be more costly I take a minute and do the math.

Amazon operates two fulfillment centers in my city. Target has something like 30 stores.

If I get in my car and drive 3 miles to buy some aftershave, how is that more efficient than a truck with 500 individual items, distributing them from house to house, sometimes driving no more than a few hundred feet between drops?

Maybe we should make it illegal to drive to the store for anything, and have people use delivery services because of the reduced environmental impact.
I do disagree. Books are not categorically better than television. It's pretty easy to think of examples where TV seems better than a book. For instance, a Nova documentary seems inherently better than Where's Waldo. I don't think that's a fringe viewpoint.

Perhaps a bit more fringe: I think a lot of light young adult fiction has the nutritional density of popcorn and any perceived inherent good in reading those books is likely a product of publishing industry propaganda campaigns. Scholastic Corporation, I am looking at you...
Can you point to some of this evidence, for the uninformed? Especially on "giving kids screens helps them learn, and as we see in the real world, the exact opposite is what is happening."
I too look forward to outside sounding like a swarm of angry bees 24/7.
How can the parent topic be something to do with the topic but this comment is not? How can one talk about the Kashmir conflict without discussing it's history? There's regularly discussions about various political/controversial topics in HN without them getting shut down. You are really showing your bias here, dang.
I used to work for a company who made verifiable audio and video for law enforcement. Even a constant running timecode could be circumvented in the early 90's. (They used to use a dedicated audio channel to encode a hash of the last few seconds - on analogue). It actually takes a lot of effort to show that a video hasn't been/could not have been doctored.
Who are these "administrators" that always come up in the context of education in the US? The word makes it sound like some bureaucrat or secretary, but it seems like they have a lot of decision making power. Are they school employees, do school directors count as administrators? Or are they part of the local government or state government? Elected officials responsible for education in some area? Who are they and how come there are so many of them?
They say it's an encrypted disk. It could have a "safety layer" with an easy to guess password.

Either way FBI doesn't need to know anyone's password IMO. People call me pessimistic or unsophisticated for it but i genuinely believe in the eyes of state actors, you really do not have any privacy. They have access to so many lives, they only complain about getting lost in the data (e.g. failing to detect threats).
I'm all for being frugal, but from my few interactions with Nick's blog, he appears to like to nickel and dime almost everything (building his own standup desk[0], cheap linux laptop[1]), so the Amazon Basics keyboard (and him loving it) is no surprise.

IIRC he also has a course where he teaches you to build a SaaS app with flask, but you don't build it from scratch - he starts with a fully built app and walks you through it/has you implement parts of it. It's a project he used for clients, and instead of investing time to reimplement it from scratch he just made a course based on the existing app (which is fine and better than no course, but an example of his frugality)

When I had Amazon Prime, I would buy items more often than I do now that I have to make a trip to the store (or pay for shipping) to purchase. For me at least, it's not a one-to-one exchange of miles on the road.
Realtek has the RTL8710, which is a lot like the ESP8266 but with an ARM Cortex-M3 (while Espressif uses the rather obscure Xtensa architecture), which has the advantage of getting an LLVM toolchain for it, which means you can program it in Rust (while the ESPs are mostly limited to C).

Any recommendations for good, affordable dev boards (say under 20Euro/USD), that are easily available?

(I have been playing with RobotDyn Blue Pills and Rust, but no wireless or Bluetooth connectivity.)

I have the wasd keyboard with red switches and thin o-rings and it is quiet, quieter than my mouse buttons.
Your choice can well be firefox and chrome as a fallback when a website doesn't work and you care enough to bother opening chrome for it. Chrome has already ditched adblockers on mobile, firefox with adblockers and reader mode is a MUCH better mobile web experience.
Yeah for a decade I had an extremely vivid memory of my grandmother spanking me. But in my 20s I once brought it up when my grandmother mentioned never having spanked anyone. She denied it, said it was my mother and I got confirmation from all of my uncle's they were never spanked.

Really made me realize how untrustworthy even the most vivid memories are.
Lol. The people who have the best models are often billionaires, have funds that manage hundreds of millions, and will employ hundreds of people on their own dime...they don't need to make a percentage on your $1000 investment.

Btw, these websites already exist but no-one on there makes any money. You don't need a lot of capital to make money in sports betting (because you turn your capital over so many times a year), there is no reason for a good sports bettor to use those sites to publicise themselves.
You are correct that x264 does benefit from hyperthreading. According to the devs, the speed increase is about 20% until you are on the veryfast or ultrafast presets, which at this point is usually bottlenecked by decode speed, and not the speed of the encode.

In making my previous claim, I was limiting the concept of 'encoding' to the more old-school definition: lossless compression of media bytestreams. This would include things like HuffYUV, ProRes, etc. But to be fair, these days it is quite likely that even a few of the newer intermediate/mezzanine codecs benefit from hyperthreading. I'd edit my post to clarify but the edit window has passed.
You can also get a better microphone.

I use a Logitech G Pro keyboard, which sounds (to my ears) roughly the same as MX Browns, but I use a supercardioid dynamic microphone (the sE L7, which for my money is the best dynamic microphone you can buy until you get up into the ElectroVoice RE320 territory) on an arm. It's got a tight enough polar pattern that I don't even need headphones because my desk speakers don't feed back, let alone the keyboard that's at a 90 degree angle from the business end of the mic.

Learn how to treat medical conditions with cannabis from people who already have
https://www.homegrowncure.com (DONT WORRY IT'S FREE.)

I am doing this to help people. I currently have been helping people locally near me.

I've read through thousands of success stories from cancer to anxiety. There are so many use cases it's insane. When used properly, cannabis can put medical conditions into remission.

We are a peer to peer cannabis network that sources verified anecdotal evidence from patients who have the same condition as you or your loved one. We also back this up with any medical studies, stories from patients on podcasts and youtube videos.

This is entirely free and completely personalized for you and your specific condition(s)

I would love to know what you all think in the comments below. I will be hanging around to answer any questions!

Thank you for your time :)
I welcome head-to-head competitors to https://spreecommerce.org/ which certainly has its warts. This seems to be pretty early-stage by comparison, but it can benefit from years of hindsight.

Also worth noting - https://github.com/mirumee/saleor is an equivalent project on the Python/Django side.

Your right I used to have a Nexus tablet, it was great and well supported, until it kept running out of space. I require something with a microsd card slot, i travel to a lot of places with zero internet access and any information or media or whatever i need needs to be on my phone (i carry a work laptop, i am not going to carry 2 laptops). When i looked none of the google phones provided that, maybe they do now.

Also 2 years ago i paid $700 for the phone. There is nothing wrong with the hardware, so i should pitch it to get another expensive phone? There is android 9 on the XDA forums for my phone.

Off topic, but i find it commical that my 17 and 18 years old kids yell at me because my 14 year old car gets about 27 miles to the gallon and pollutes so much, but every year they beg me to buy them a new phone so they can junk their old ones......
They're local elected government officials, which means they are usually bored baby boomers with more free time than common sense.
Maybe, although still I don't like it. If I enter anything in the address bar which is not a complete absolute URL, I would want it to be interpreted as a relative URL.
The website assets are optimized in a rather strange way. The total page weight of ~20MB is huge for mobile. The images are heavily compressed using WebP lossy with quite noticeable blockiness and washed out textures and fine details, but squeezed into 1MB, yet the videos are only lightly compressed, and make up most of the page weight. Had they been compressed with libx264 at good quality, the page weight would be more than 70% smaller, and there would not be any need to ruin the image quality that much.
But Sound Amplifier isn't about making the phone's audio louder - its purpose is to amplify the sound in the room around you and filter background noise. I think you're misunderstanding the feature.
Hi Bill from DuckDuckGo. Can you give us a rough ballpark for salary ranges for these positions?
As a parent I basically want tech to enhance learning if possible in the classroom. I don't want tech that

1. Replaces teachers / supervision.

2. Distracts students.

It seems like administrators are particularly interested in 1 for cost savings reasons, and are unable to solve 2.
I feel like I learn and retain more from printed books than e-books… but maybe that’s just because I’m an old man who learned to read decades before there was such a thing as an e-book?

> the social pressure (in the US at least) is insane.

This isn't a US-wide thing. This is about the priorities of a certain subculture, nothing more. Your friends just happen to be embedded in that subculture. My condolences.
A) On the other hand, in middle school in the 80s, I learned Commodore 64 BASIC. (and my DAD learned BASIC because when you bought an Apple IIe, the manual suggested that learning BASIC was how you learned how to use the Apple IIe, and included a tutorial, so my Dad just followed it. I think programming has become a lot less common as a 'basic computer skill', not more).

B) I think you are confusing CS with programming/software engineering. They are related, but the "CS" class the post you are responding to suggested with nothing but a chalkboard would not have it's students ready for a job getting paid programming. (I don't mean this as an insult to you). On the other hand, the class in which you were learning MS Office probably wasn't CS at all. A class involving Python and Java might get someone more ready for a job getting paid programming, but may or may not be a CS class, depending on... if it includes any CS.
Maybe, I'll have to look into that. My application is an A2DP enhancement, and I think it would be at least a bit of work to implement an A2DP service in NimBLE; very cool nonetheless, thanks for bringing it up!
Both my Microsoft and Logitech ergonomic keyboards are wearing out, so I spent some time last week looking for a replacement. Logitech seem no longer to make one, and Microsoft's has laptop keys, which I find very uncomfortable.

This site [1] has a quick gallery, and this[2] Github page a lot more (including many niche or kit ones). The Kinesis Freestyle <whatever> looked like a good option, but I decided to try one of the nerdy ones, so I've ordered a VE.A clone from AliExpress.

I found both of these pages through the /r/MechanicalKeyboards wiki [3]. That community has a lot of posts and comments of people showing off gamer/geek/nerd stuff, but also seems to give reasonable advice to "normal" people wanting advice.

This is disappointing. Mozilla can't seem to make up their mind if they want to offer a different product from google or just "Chrome, but for nerds"
Oh I see. In that respect there is hope that mass produced small modular reactors would bring down mfg cost by increasing volume. I don't have numbers though.
Two players having the same hand is no issue - just split the pot. This already happens when neither player can improve on the five community cards.

Adding five of a kind also seems like a pretty easy adjustment.

The most obvious difference is the possibility of cards matching both suit and rank. So if you have HA HK and the flop is HA HJ S2 you have both top pair and also a very strong flush draw (although HA HA would be better), a combo which is impossible on that board with a single deck.
You can find something a whole lot nicer than the Amazon keyboard for $10 or $15 on ebay.

I think gamifying school is probably a good idea. How many kids don't know the parts of speech, but have memorized the Pokedex?
They are crazy if they think I'm gonna stop carrying when I shop there, or if anybody else is.

While I'm using GoAccess myself and I too recommend it over using JS libraries, your server logs usually contain private data as well (user agent, ip address).

In my experience this is very much true - in Sao Paulo, Waze is heavily used by everyone, and I mostly use Ubers and taxis while working here - and the agressiveness in which Waze will suggest a 5-more-turns, using local roads, to gain (maybe) one minute really sets them apart from Google Maps.

Google Maps' UI is tuned to show you alternatives and their ETA, and it's up to you to take them or not - Waze will just update routes without user input.
> nobody likes to be a green bubble

Lots of people don't care at all. The only time I hear about this whole "green bubble bad" thing is online. In real life, I have never once encountered this sentiment. (I'm not saying this sentiment doesn't exist IRL, I'm saying that it's not universal.)
I've been living without a fridge for a few months too. It sucks. My eggs keep far longer in the fridge. I can keep leftovers, but only in a closed, sterile pot on the stove. Even sliced prosciutto starts to smell funny after a week. I got some Roquefort the other week that started growing black mold within two days after I bought it; I had to throw a corner of it out. I have a lot of canned food now, but it's more expensive and tastes worse.
I think my point was that "This can not ever happen .. gas car" is overly broad. It can happen to some gas cars.

Modifying the joke somewhat, perhaps to "drives away in his El Camino", would strengthen the sarcasm.
Probably from clickbait sources. Recent talk in the area has been legitimate.

Android 10 lets you download and install certain security updates through Google Play as easily as an app. That is a first, and it should not be understated.
In most of the US from what I've seen, recess is seriously degraded for 5th and 6th grades, then eliminated entirely for 7th and beyond. They really expect teenagers to be sedentary until the end of the school day.
It simply means he can convince some people who are open to technical arguments and do not think too differently from him. And that's about it.

Privacy enhancing towards 3rd party apps, maybe, but towards Google itself OTOH...

As someone trying to manage using an Android phone without Google's services (Play Store et al), they really castrated Android starting with version 8, when you needed the Play Store in order to reliably receive push notifications.

In fact, I'm passively looking for ways to downgrade my phone back to LineageOS 14/Android 7 because of this, but older releases of Lineage aren't easily readily available...

I had a friend that worked for Jean-George in new york and brought their steak sauce with him to the restaurant we were working at. I swear to god, we had to order all these specialty fucking ingredients and dump a ton of labor into this one condiment and then people would just ask for A1 (or Ketchup).

Some things just aren't worth the effort.
