I'm doing deep learning without a data science background.

Some of my current results are:

The voices need better data curation and longer training, but some speakers such as David Attenborough are quite good.

I've also built a real time streaming voice conversion system. I want to generalize it better so that it can be an actual product. I think it could be a killer app for Discord. Imagine talking to your friends as Ben Stein or Ninja.

I've been watching TTS and VC evolve over the last few years, and it's incredible pace at which things are coming along. There are now singing neural networks that sound better than Vocaloid. If you follow researchers on Github (seriously, their social features are a killer app!), you'll see model after model get uploaded - complete with citations, results. It's super exciting, and it's the future I hoped research would become.

If you're diving into this, I would recommend using PyTorch, not TensorFlow. PyTorch is much easier to use and has better library/language support. TorchScript / JIT is really fantastic, too. I even mean this if just you're poking around with someone else's model - find a PyTorch alternative if you can. It's much easier to wrap your head around. TensorFlow is just too obtuse for no good reason.
Suspected as much. Not just IT people — it’s quite a playground for process wonks, and I mean that as a bad thing. I do love JIRA but wish it would stay simple in practice where I work. Unfortunately not the case at my current job.

Bad investment for Airbus might turn into cash cow to airliners after 3-4 years.

If air traffic returns to fast growth era, congestion in large cities becomes issue again and A380 shines there. There is only limited number of them and A380 is surprisingly efficient.

Landing slots are expensive. A380 wins cost/passenger easily in busy and congested airfields.

A380 is easy on pavement. Pavement maintenance is roughly third of airfield maintenance. When landing fee rates reflect pavement loading accurately, a380 becomes even more economic to operate in large airfields.
This is the thing that “ad tech” people never want to acknowledge (because it makes their “secret sauce” a lot less valuable).

Not only would there be zero tracking required to show content-relevant ads, there’s zero creep factor. No one questions seeing an ad for a new blender or an online grocer when looking at a recipe site, there’s no question why you’re seeing those ads.

Seeing ads about something very specific that you looked for a few days ago, on completely unrelated sites is the epitome of creepy.

Far from this being rare, every major GNU/Linux distro checks the hashes of downloaded material it depends on. Failing to do this threatens integrity/stability of the system and provides an open door for malware.

Vim package managers pulling git repos can easily check out a specific hash; if they are just blindly following branch heads by name, that's just dumb and nobody should emulate their behavior.

TLS is neither here nor there because there isn't much of a privacy concern. Plaintext HTTP works fine for fetching some piece of FOSS, if you check the digest to verify that you're getting what you're expecting to be getting.

On the contrary, the assurance that the HTTPS host key has not changed is not relevant. It does not amount to (is something other than) the relevant assurance that the URL content has not changed.

Moreover, there may be numerous hosts which provide that exact same content. If you have the digest, and the original host stops providing the content reliably, you can confidently switch to a different mirror, which could be a HTTPS host you have never contacted, or even a HTTP one.

The trust that the server hosting the code has not been compromised is misplaced and foolish. The person in charge of that content could be someone who thinks it is a good idea to change the content of a software release (to sneak in one more bugfix) without changing anything in the URL. Thus two of your own users who think they are using the exact same version of your software will fetch the same foolib-1.2.tar.gz URL a day apart, and get different files, which breaks the integrity of your own release. Without hashes, this goes undetected.

There is no "huge burden" here. All the module tool has to do is to make it mandatory for the fetching commmand to have a digest argument. If the digest doesn't match the content, all it has to do is fail that command, and issue a diagnostic. The diagnostic can include the actual hash that would work, and point to the file and line number where the failing import is located.

The user relies on hundreds of imports that they didn't write themselves, and which require no attention at all in the happy case that they fetch what they are supposed to fetch.
The software would have to make a claim. For example, improve your posture.
Magic / More Magic

> But.. I trust the 74x and the 380/350 more than I trust the 787 and the MAX because of some spectacularly bad public engineering exposure.

I've followed the 737 MAX debacle quite a bit. I've also seen a video from someone who used to analyse (private) airplane crashes. He made it really clear that any crash is the result of a multiple of reasons. Meaning, there's no one root cause, there are multiple causes coming together. This unlike business where it's almost always assumed that there's a "root cause" (singular).

One worry of mine is that not enough is done to allow the FAA to properly certify the 737 MAX. There's been (proposed?) changes, but they feel more like window dressing. Other aviation authorities used to follow the FAA, due to the 737 MAX you see that this trust has gone. You've highlighted how the change in culture in Boeing is another cause of this. But aside from that, if this could happen at Boeing, it could (theoretically) just as well happen with Airbus. This again due to a multitude of reasons, how FAA is setup, Boeing changed, competition from Airbus, advantage of reusing an existing type. A lot of reasons could be applicable again, or apply to Airbus.

Aside from really checking the 737 MAX plus other aviation authorities not really trusting the FAA I don't see enough comprehensive changes.

Regarding the 747 and retiring of these planes: it seems every new airplane gives people less space to walk around, less space for luggage, less space in chairs (chair width is important as well!), etc.
Datadog, a life saver on day to day
There is also an argument for your original version with just the ID regarding unchanging URL's.

The Amazon URL that includes the title should be fairly stable, but if you look at e.g. a Discourse forum URL you see it contains the topic title, which can change at any time and then the URL changes with it. The old URL still works, because Discourse redirects, but this can't be taken for granted.

So Discourse then has these URL's referring to the same topic:

- https://forum.example.com/t/my-title/12345
- https://forum.example.com/t/my-new-title/12345
- https://forum.example.com/t/12345

And using the last version may be best to use when linking to the topic from somewhere else.

Are "balance and harmonisation" exact enough terms that you can disprove them? Can that sentence even be called a technical or medical claim considering how vague it is?

Vitaminwater has some drink called "balance", would that fall under the same thing? They also have something called "revive" but I don't think you can call it illegal just because it won't revive people from death.
realize that over tracking and retargeting are just ways of parting them with their money but doesn't increase conversions.

This is naive. There are plenty of real world examples of generic advertising "stock," without targeting... it's sold at a huge discount. It is targeting that gives FB ads value.

Without targetting or a working CPA system, FB ads would be as useless as the many available content advertising networks.

Thinking of online advertisers as dumb is a dangerous error. There are enough sophisticated advertisers in the market to make the online ad market very rational. Thinking of it as dumb advertisers that will eventually come around is a fallacy... a dangerous one.

This problem is real. Very large parts of the online economy are reliant on targeting. That's the real problem we're facing.
I remember when teaching a subset of LOGO that we wanted a cool input program for students. So I built reverse logo [1] to turn an image (black-and-white, contiguous) into a logo program that draws it.

They're actually even worse than the 747, because one of the benefits of the 747 (and some of the few outstanding orders of 747 production left) is that they were designed to be easily converted into freighter aircraft, because at the time people thought the 747 was a stopgap till supersonic travel became the norm. The A380, due to its heavier dead weight, wouldn't be very good as a freighter even if it could be turned into one.

That being said, the A380 being a lemon certainly cost Airbus far less than the 737MAX program has taken down Boeing.

To earn money by fake news, you need to bet against the crowd that will act on the fake news, and you need to make the bets prior to the fake news. The crowd will lose some money on the act, if you properly blend in with them, you won't earn anything.

And if you want to blend in with trades made by some insider community, then any posts you make there to trigger that crowd (and the timing of these posts) will be useful evidence to separate you from the crowd. I mean, it's just as with the investigation of pump-and-dump schemes with the added benefit that after warrants to sieze and review computers you can also get some evidence of the hack.

I hope you landed on it independently via gut without thinking it through much, because this is one of the boilerplate reasons companies use to trick people into thinking that they'd be better off not knowing everyone's salaries, when in reality companies just want to keep it secret to have more power over salary negotiation.
The market is there, schools would love this technology. The problem is that simple thin coat of aluminized paint is super expensive, as is a big mesh. And phones are very effective at getting the low signals through any available hole in filter coverage.
The pro-targeting argument always seems to forget the middle-ground of context-based ads.

This new snowboard company can advertise on snowboard-related websites, on snowboard-related google search

The magic "IA assisted silver bullet retargeting" that this snowboard company will be sold by yet another VC-founded adtech company almost always amount to "Oh this guy just bought a new snowboard, he probably needs another one right now, let's pay a mountain of cash to push him to buy another one on every website he visit for a week"

That is just libobjc, which is basically useless except if you actually plan to reimplement everything Foundation does. ObjC IS de-facto Foundation, without NSString, NSArray, etc no library will ever work.

I think a better understanding between inline and block is, that inline-elements do not generate a block. The idea of a block breaks down for inline elements, especially when they go over multiple lines. It's not just a horizontal expansion.

So understand what creating a block means. Inline-elements don't.

Choosing the best phone repairs in Adelaide?
You have to be very sure about the repair centre before you give phones for repair. You have to check whether the centre has enough experience, whether they provide a warranty, their service charge, safety, etc. Daddys Phones are one such centre that provides all these services. Daddys Phones are the most trusted phone repairs in Adelaide, having many years of experience in the repair field. They have become the most favourite repair centre because of their quality service, customer relationship, and for many other factors. If you are in need of any kind of repairs, feel free to contact them. Their professionals will be ready to assist you at any time.
Objective-C is neither easy nor something most people liked. I did actually like it because I always thought it was really cool, but most people I talked with hate it with a passion. For the average Java developer, choosing between Swift and Objective-C is like choosing between cake and a tomato for dessert. Some people might pick Objective-C, but it's definitely not the majority.
I was thinking more of a whole living space. It's actually not that bad if you have a phone within a walking distance and the area is safe.

But then it's more about self discipline. You can always shut down the devices yourself instead of relying on a curtain measure for that which might prove annoying.

The Gamification at the Workplace: A Simple Way to Motivate Your Employees
> I don't think twitter is crappy because of cache misses, I think it's crappy because they don't have a solid understanding of what their code is doing.

It's my hunch that you have little idea of what the code-bases for twitter are like, nor what factors are at play that affect usability issues.

> If you build your game on an entity-component system, you can't "just refractor" that to make it contiguous.

Moving to object pooling of components is very do-able. There might be some extra work, like extracting a generic matrix hierarchy and physics primitives out, but you'd only do such a thing if you found that d-cache misses on v-table lookups, or if i-cache misses due to update code churning were of real concern... and these could realistically be mitigated with homogenised object pools for the particular use case... though usually yes.

Edit: I'd expect anyone on an engine team, or technical programmers at a game dev shop, or maybe even someone working on a browser renderer to have such knowledge from day 0, rather than the average FAANG employee.

It’s less common now, but I do remember helping multiple people in the past who had installed malware masquerading as “PC Optimiser” software. Usually these would contain big green buttons labelled something like “Optimise system RAM” and show lists of many problems it was helpfully fixing for you.

Some users were utterly convinced that their machine was running faster than ever before, when in reality the malware did nothing other than begging for cash payments. Often the opposite by slowing down the machine with continuous pop-up advertisements and other nasties.

This is the boring but correct answer, particularly as diesel engines can be refitted to burn ammonia until fuel cells are ready to take over.

However, to make it geeky and exciting again you could have autonomous floating wind and solar farms generating the hydrogen and converting it to ammonia.

The ships could then refuel at multiple points in the middle of the ocean (ideally without stopping) and so carry less fuel and save on the costs of fuel burnt transporting the fuel.
