Can you clarify what you mean by “those” projects? Because this project is supposed to be about “everyone”: > ”Common Voice is part of Mozilla’s initiative to make voice recognition technologies better and more accessible for everyone.

After taking some time to dig into the project and forums, I’m more concerned. I have worked on building and validating large-scale ML datasets in tricky domains before and am best friends with an SLP, so I have some context for understandi

The first sentence of the link I posted accounts for opportunity cost: “An optimal decision is a decision that leads to at least as good a known or expected outcome as all other available decision options.” And there is much, much more than

Sorry you feel that it’s dumb, because it’s not so much a formula as the basic concept (in words) of a expected value, which is perhaps the most fundamental concept in statistics, ML, decision theory, game theory, economics, medical decisio

Does this dataset include people with voice or speech disorders (or other disabilities)? I don’t see any mention of it in this announcement or the forums, though I haven’t looked thoroughly (yet). Examples: dysphonias of various kinds, dysa

Search has a discovery problem, though—you have to know what you’re looking for. Even if you know, it’s increasingly difficult to locate it via keyword search. And isn’t Google/YouTube search a type of recommendation engine anyways (i.

Misc advice from a neurosimilar(?) person: 1. It might help to know you’re not alone (at all). I’m lost and burned out for the (n+1)th time myself. 2. For me at least, recovering from burnout needs to be an active process. Time alone does n

I blend frozen banana, peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder together and it’s as good as any milkshake (once you get the proportions right). The frozen banana seems to be the key for giving smoothies a creamy texture. Every

Unlike people, not all deaths are created equal (in my opinion). What I mean is: a death caused by systematic oppression/racism (especially from an entity whose core purpose is to “serve and protect”) is in some deontological sense wo

Ah, so the sources that don’t fit your narrative are “politicized”, yet others (from the same entity) are not? What a convenient pattern of thought. I read the document you linked to, and it outlines the potential risks and side effects of

I think replying with a sardonic “Wrong.” and then making an unsubstantiated claim made it pretty clear what the pretext of your comment was. But sure...I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, no it’s not “safe beyond argument”.

No. To me, all recommendation engines should be: - User-configurable and interpretable : Enable tuning or re-ranking of results, ideally based on the ability to reweight model internals in a “fuzzy” way. As an example, see the last comment

Awfully quick to judge eh? I agree with everything the parent comment said, and I: 1. Live alone 2. Have not worked for nearly a year now. Technically I’m on leave due to extreme burnout, so I’m even more hosed (can’t collect unemployment).

Isn’t one of the key premises of UBI is that ever-increasing will (arguably, has) lead to a massive economic surplus that would then be redistributed via some mechanism(s)?
