If you're running Kokoro yourself then it might be worth checking your phonemizer / espeak-ng installs in case they are messing up the phonemes for those words (which are then passed on as inputs to Kokoro itself)

I've found it excellent with really common accents but with other accents (that are pretty common too) it can easily get stuck picking a different accent. For instance several Scottish recordings ended up Australian, likewise a fairly

No, I think you're possibly misunderstanding the issue. That option you mention allows one to change the sound used, which I suspect we all get, but instead the problem is there's no sound between breathing in and breathing out. Y

Yes, this is the big flaw in an otherwise nice little app. If this were fixed you could use it without looking.

Yes, it's not that hard to distinguish if it's something you're alert to and have enough input to start recognising the patterns.

With that battery of cameras and seemingly inevitable negative outcomes for speeders, it's unusual how many people continue to speed blatantly.

A screenshot / GIF might be a nice idea in the README, to give people an idea of what it looks like.

Would be interesting if the Faster Python team considered this approach for Python (although maybe they already did?)

It means if you add a tip there's a higher probability of them screwing up the delivery, either not finding my flat (apartment) at all or being severely delayed because they sent someone who cannot read the simple English directions. I

Will be interesting. Back when I used Deliveroo, tipping always led to worse delivery success rates so I gave up. They suddenly became really bad recently, which is unfortunate as they generally had the edge on Uber Eats (total charlatans!)

You seem to have inferred the wrong meaning of "smoking gun" and that's why your usage above doesn't make sense. There's no valid reason cyber security people would take a well known idiom and repurpose it as you im

Yes, although I believe this is a speaker embedding model here, so not LLM related. This kind of speech clustering has been possible for years - the exciting point with their model here is how it's highly focused on accents alone. Here

Does anyone else get that survey rating effect where you start off thinking the company is reasonable, you give a 4 or 5, then the next page asks for why you chose this and as you think it through you realise more and more shitty things the

This feels like a stretch, all the more so given they were specifically talking about "technical things". Assumptions around documentation, reading of docs and widespread physics knowledge seem like they could all be different her

What do you think maintains this difference on the F-droid side, given there are presumably lower barriers to entry with F-droid?

No it isn't. The number of shots (examples) is zero.

For a fairly science focused article I was a little surprised they referred to "bugs" in the casual / technically incorrect manner, as covered here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect#Distinguishing_f

Indeed, although even if it is unplugged only a careless moron would step on a plug. Rather like stepping on Lego - yes it would hurt but it's easily avoided!

Great idea, although perhaps the use of "should" here ever so slightly carries a negative connotation that might be best avoided with alternate wording. Maybe something like: "Alerting people to important sounds they cannot h

Absolutely. This is a flight of fantasy. Just being able to imagine something doesn't really cut it for concept items any more - you've got to have something vaguely functional you can demonstrate before it's worth seeking ex

Nice idea but so utterly unenforceable. If you want to look at challenges around regulating advertising, the ASA in the UK is an interesting case, as when being set up in the 60s, they foresaw many of the difficulties and structured themsel
