Do you have any accuracy benchmarks? I’ve worked in this space. TTS in a small footprint isn’t the hard part —- it’s doing it accurately that’s hard. Although for the use cases OP is targeting, lower accuracy may be good enough!

I came here expecting an AI story, and instead got a story of a classic IP hunt. Awesome! Interestingly it ends in them never finding the source (and another commenter here says they got it working by monkeypatching the binary. At this poin

Google Maps is interesting because it has offline mode, but doesn't seem to use its stored data when you're online. It will try to download map tiles it should already have. You have to go offline to get the faster experience!

Which is totally valid! You shouldn’t gamble to get rich, and that’s true whether you’ve won in the past or not.

They are hiring HPC experts too. It’s a small community and you just don’t hear about it. These 100 people repress a tiny fraction of the people who work at these labs. And many of the people that work at the labs are building on top of the

For those that missed it, Sony announced that Playstation will no longer support physical media. This is Microsoft ribbing them.

Look at /r/programming on reddit. They have explicit no AI policies.

They specifically said that is why. Not sure why you think they can afford TAs at that rate (4x the average at other schools). Here is a whole article about it: https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/2026-summ

CS enrollment is declining, but not demand. Everyone is citing the numbers from UC Berkeley showing a 26% percent decline in enrollment. What they fail to mention is that the CS department reduced their admit slots by 25% because the TAs

If you like this idea, check out the movie Space Camp. :)

I've seen all the Space Shuttles in their retirement. It took me 10 years to get to them all. But I saw Endeavor when it was still just on the ground (like Discovery). I can't wait to go back and (re)complete my collection! Inte

More cardiac issues than the other vaccine options but far less than the virus. If it were the only option it would still be on the market. It was only pulled because better options showed up.

Ok if you want to be pedantic, the standard says, "if you can't read this file, go to the offset and then execute the code you find" which isn't functionally different from what I said.

by jedberg 4mo ago
Sure, but when the standard says "read this file and execute the instructions you find at the beginning" that is more dangerous than "this is a file with data and your program needs to figure out how to read it".

Another thing making a comeback -- reference checks. I had to supply references for my first job in 1999. Then I wasn't asked for them again until 2024, and then for every job after that.

Hah, you did the one at 12 also? I too remember both, and it was also 30 years ago. I don't know why, probably because they were really important numbers to teenagers, and they say you remember things that happened to you as a teen m

The scores have changed, but ideally they are asking for the percentiles. Those are scaled to the current year.

Every job does that, whether they tell you or not.

I edited my comment to make it clearer. I meant you should only directly store current timestamps, anything else you should leave up to a library to store as it sees fit.

I would contend that you shouldn't store anything but current unix timestamps in UTC in your database. If you must store time in some other way, then the two column method in the post will work, but leave it up to your software library

I've dealt with this before. The problem with doing a billing cap is that now you are bringing an out-of-band batch system (billing) in-band. The only way to do a dollar cap is to constantly calculate your bill. Capping it at 100K

Possibly, I did it on Safari. Trying it now on Chrome and it's fine.

It must have, because that's what I had in 1996 and I played it.
