This is very interesting, following. I wrote about this issue a little a week or two back. Lots of people making tools (both software and plugins) for what we might call the open-s…

No, will check it out, thanks!

Cahier looks like exactly what I’ve been hoping for for a long time. People have been taking “knowledge management” seriously for a few years now and we have a number of great tool…

I feel there will always be a difficult interplay between public and private. Public sites encourage wide sharing and dissemination, at the expense of curation and longevity. Priva…

You can check out Butterick's online book on typography.

I was talking to a friend the other day about how it feels like manhua/longstrip webtoon comics has yet to experience its creative peak. Looking back at the history of manga, it is…

Primarily Photoshop for scanlation. Official workflows will use a combination of Photoshop for retouching and InDesign for lettering/prepress

I wonder how much training on degraded/radio encoded samples would be needed to improve performance in this area. You’re probably not the only person who wants to monitor police ra…

There is a discussion on the Whisper github page called something like “diarization” which details a few attempts to attain this functionality with additional tools.
