Never seemed unreasonable to me - math is “rule-based” and so is nature. The later is perhaps mysterious, but Occom’s Razor makes it more likely than lawless.

You’re assuming this $1000/mo will buy you something useful.

I've been writing some programs to deal with the Maya Calendars, where it is an issue. On some level, it doesn't matter if an inscription corresponds to "August 31, 83 CE" or "September 2, 83 CE" (a date potent

I would think of it as Calendar A uses Calandar B until time point T and then uses Calendar C. These dates exist in Calendars B and C, but do not exist in Calendar A.

I think "7.6 PB" is more informative than "4.4x Empire State Building heights worth of DVDs", but that's just me.

At least add “models”. Doing “music” on your local machine can mean many things.

My understanding (in hindsight) is that success of Duolingo had nothing to do with “crowdsourcing” - is that correct? (Beyond maybe stories for fundraising). It doesn’t seem to have a lot to say about “ed tech” - popularity of apps seems di

I found a lot of Nolan's films overrated, but just got out The Odyssey and would say it was quite good. But, yes, "grandiosity" is true - in IMAX, it was loud and intense.

I was put off by the vibed-design, but everything looks well done and well-explained. From what I can tell, it used 5.3 hours of single voice fine-tune data.

It was based on an existing TTS, IndicT5. I wonder how different is “Sanskrit Chanting” to languages it could already do, like Hindi. Is it largely the glyph—to-phoneme that needs relearning? Or pitch control? Or more?

Summary (at end of PDF): As discussed at the beginning of this article, the excitement with AI is carrying us along in a big wave, but the practitioners whose job it is to make this all work are scrambling behind the scenes, often more in d

Amazing work and historical artifacts. Something about this era - I have an interest in Frederick Catherwood and his work at basically the same time in mesoamerica (although he focused more on ruins than modern people), https://e

Probably not worth the effort (or legal trouble), unless you can show it's better than other recent open models like Cohere Transcribe.

It took a bit of hacking, but most of the data was from the Eurail/Interrail Planner app. I used that book the tickets and it had an HTML export feature - showing your route on a web page - and I stripped the route from that.

I agree one man's "freedom" is another man's annoyance (or worse). It is a difficult, fine-line to draw. Thus, the beer example was mocking the author's view of "you have freedom or you don't" and the
