    Correct, it's the inverse that requires disclosure by Youtube. Still, I find it interesting. If you can't synthetically alter someone's performance to be "worse", is it OK that the…

    I am not envious of the policy folks at Youtube who will have to parse out all the edge cases over the next few years. They are up against a nearly impossible task. https://novehic…

    Most interesting example to me: "Digitally altering audio to make it sound as if a popular singer missed a note in their live performance". This seems oddly specific to the inverse…

    This looks excellent. In my opinion, these kinds of apps are the future of data science / data analyst work. Forget no-code, just enable these professionals to work in a single pro…

    Pretty cool. The embedding similarity approach makes a lot of sense. I actually this project by experimenting with computing cosine similarities of sentence embeddings [1]. But I w…

    Yep -- no calls to any API backend.

    The extension feeds it context data in chunks (e.g. only one element at a time). I could see TensorFlowJS BERT struggling with a single sequence of 87 KB -- have you tried breaking…

    I just got access to GPT3! Have only played around with it for a few hours so far, but haven't gotten it to reliably summarize.

    Nope, I've developed and hosted my own summarization API here. It does heavily rely on open-source machine learning libraries and research / datasets released by Facebook AI [1] [1…

    https://readable.com/ is an interesting tool I came across in my research you might be interested in. It relies on the Flesch–Kincaid readability tests [1] and has found sustained …

    Interesting take because there is a school of thought that comes to the opposite conclusion: emails should be more like text messages: http://five.sentenc.es/ . I think the most in…

    The original inspiration and example featured on the website was from a blog post on cold "welcome" email copy: https://www.gkogan.co/blog/increase-reply-rates/ . I'd love to test …

    When I was researching this product area, I found a bunch of similar tools that summarized on the inbound side. I thought it would be more interesting to experiment on the outbound…

    Interesting. I have a different experience than you -- I often find myself writing an email that's way too long and trimming it down later. For the design of this tool, it was impo…
