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 "Sept…

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.

FYI, the title makes no sense in isolation.

“Just one more AI company, I swear…” - last words of an AI-company-junkie.

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 hav…

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 …

You need some visual feedback that it's loading. I see a blank screen for 30 seconds.

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 thi…

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 foc…

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

Lots of comments are "you should compare against X and Y" - even better, just get the results on a standard benchmark, so you can compare against all, https://huggingface.co/spaces…

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 w…
