Tries to be diverse to an absurd degree. Still can't stop stereotyping. So about the same as your typical Hollywood writer?

Steve Brunton has an awesome YouTube channel as well. For those in the data science / machine learning space, it's very interesting to see those techniques applied to control and other areas of engineering - things they never taug

I've heard from a Udemy instructor that the reference prices are not even the real prices the instructors have set. It's all made up (by Udemy).

The analogy is apt. In SA, the temperature is used to make the distribution sharper or fatter. In this article, the temperature is used to make the distribution sharper or fatter.

There's a bug on the site where if you select a different amount of RAM, the price doesn't update and when you check your basket it still says 16GB RAM.

False extrapolation. No one is "lauding an adversarial state". And adversarial to whom? The west is as adversarial to China as China is to the west. You sound put off that the comments don't have enough patriotism. Lacking bl

I wonder why the title says that it uses Tortoise TTS? Also interesting that play.ht allows you to clone others' voices.

If in doubt, you can always check out the Lex Fridman podcast with Numpy creator Travis Oliphant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFEE3w7F0ww They pronounce the "Py" as "pie".

Yup. Reminds me of an article you'd find in the top 10 Google search results...

Slightly off topic but the choice of name is interesting given that Tai chi is well-known for its slow movements and being practiced by the elderly at the park.

You say this as if you are witnessing other hate crimes on the regular. Is that true? Crimes against Asians tend to be taken less seriously and tend not to be classified as hate crimes even when there is a racial component. Georgia spa shoo

Is it possible to do the same thing (zero-shot on an arbitrary input voice) using one of the models on your Github?

Agreed. Posts like this seem to get upvoted on HN just because "oooh, a pretty animation" and/or they struggled with college math "See? This is how they should've taught it! Pictures are better than lectures!"

The point is that many speak as if anti-CCP sentiment -justifies- anything which is anti-Asian. In what way is "but CCP bad" an appropriate response to "another old Chinese lady brutally attacked on the street"? Also bol

I considered that, but upon deeper thought, it is not true. Consider the examples elsewhere in this thread. The Chinese propaganda is the Chinese soldier essentially doing an unrealistic magic trick. American propaganda is often in the form

Ehh, this has been standard fare for China for decades. It is always comically obvious (like in the videos you posted above). Pick any movie and you're likely to see something similar. On the other hand, consider the last time you saw

China has always done this and it is always comically obvious. The propaganda coming from the US against the Chinese is more subtle and convincing. It's scary not only because of how good it is, but because people here don't even

"China bad" is one of the primary goals of western propaganda. Start looking out for any online discussion involving anti-Asian racism / attacks, the housing crisis, etc. and you'll see posts like "but what about th

Worse. He sounds "fake angry" and spent what looks like an inordinate amount of time writing a crappy article to express his fake outrage. His understanding of time series seems OK at best.

I much prefer Andrew Ng's courses as well. I tried Fast AI, but it seems to be trying too hard to take out the math, which oddly for me (as a STEM grad) makes it much more difficult to understand. Had to stop when I saw him using Excel

Name any authors from China but of non-Chinese ethnicity you believe are problematic. We went from one scientific study, to another totally unrelated scientific study, to the CCP. What does the CCP have to do with the study in question?

When discussing US "culture", one usually has at least enough nuance to discern left from right ("us" vs "those idiots") in a population of 300 million. When discussing China, there is no distinction. All 1.4 b
