I had plans to do the same, I'm glad somebody beat me to it.

  That is an admirable mindset - I cannot help but be a bit frustrated when someone independently implements my ideas first. On the one hand, it validates the idea. On the other hand, building it would be fun, but now that someone else did it, doing it again would be akin to reinventing the wheel and it is more productive to turn your attention to something new (unless you think you can execute the project much better).

    This project (and others in different frameworks) are far from complete. The prize for reproducing WaveNet in open source remains unclaimed.

    In this case, it's DeepMind's idea anyway :) I get more disappointed when the opposite happens. I think something like, "Yeah, I'm totally going to add support in torch for noisy activation functions like in this paper!" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.00391.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.00391.pdf). Then I procrastinate and put it off. Then I think, "No matter, someone else has surely done it by now". Then they haven't.
