#2The difference between the Siri voices from iOS 9-11 is startling. I can still here some issues especially at the ends of phrases, but it's extremely good.

#3A research paper published by Apple? About Siri?! Unheard of! Last time I was at an NLP conference wth Apple employees they wouldn't say anything about how Siri speech worked, despite being very inquisitive about everyone else's publications. Good to see some change.

#4My favorite part is that the runtime runs on device. I moved back to Android, but persistently one thing Apple does that I like is they don't move things to the internet as often as Google does. On Android, you get degraded TTS if the internet is shoddy.

Yeah, they do seem to be opening up a bit. They posted their first article on this ML blog a few weeks ago.

Their TV service does this too on Google Fiber. It sucks, it's a tire fire. It is laggy, wedges until you have to reboot the network and TV box. It's a horrible experience. I really wish they would stop trying to shove everything into the cloud. Seriously Google, STOP. JUST STOP!

11 sounds almost as good as the wavenet demo. Considering it runs in real-time that's very impressive.

#8It might seem silly, but I'm looking forward to the first AI talk therapist. Most of the benefit of therapy is the talking, so it's not as crazy as it sounds.

Heard of Emacs's M-x doctor?

The other day I was thinking about Uber Therapy, get a mini therapy session on the way to your destination!
