dude, that's exactly what i said. better context reading before going off with dude bro comments perhaps?

I used it on Android and it seems to be one of very few apps that can replace the default Google services text-to-speech engine.

However, I wasn't satisfied with the speech quality so now I'm using RHVoice.


A little tricky to read this. With the ground constantly changing underneath your feet, there's a feeling that rules and words get introduced then redefined willy nilly. The whole thing has a sense of "Numberwang" about it, which I think is part of why it comes across as satire. Another big part is no doubt how ridiculously the bootstrapping stage was written, but that seems intentional.

There's clearly something deep going on, but I will have to come back to this after an even deeper cup of coffee.


As EV sales grow the chargers not growing will lead to more and more dissatisfaction as people will be queuing for longer and longer to even start charging. In many places in California that's already the case today.

I don’t think native here refers to the control styling being similar to Win32 on Windows.

If it is that way, there should be no theme index that states otherwise in the theme. As mentioned in the bug, that still is the case. Even if not the default on other distros, users will be able to pick it in desktop envs that honor the spec and trust that file.

We no longer do:

kcms/icons: filter out GNOME's Adwaita and High Contrast icon themes

These are no longer FDO-compatible icon themes, and are apparently no longer intended to be used for non-GNOME apps--going against what an FDO icon theme is supposed to be used for.

I've contacted the GNOME folks about it, and unfortunately they've made it clear that the situation is intended; see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/2...

As such, allowing the user to select these icon themes will just give them an opportunity to break all their non-GNOME apps. Let's filter these themes out to prevent that possibility.

We still need to figure out a solution for when our apps are run in distros where Adwaita is used as the default icon theme, but that's a separate topic.

Interestingly enough, in practice, there are various declarative SwiftUI-style nuget packages for Avalonia[0][1][2] and Uno[3]. You don't actually have to touch XML if you don't want to.

Possibility is that Tesla won't get billions in US tax dollars to build out their network for free (and reap all profits), i.e. Elon's M.O. for all his companies. Hence the childish decision to throw the whole thing away then.

I mean, I wouldn't mind being taken out to Red Lobster.

I've come to find too, partners who prefer whatever instead of having very specific expectations for time spent together are more comfortable to be around.

When I started creating demos for our startup, I started with Shotcut, it is pretty awesome and simple to start with. VN editor is also a good option if you are just starting your journey. And combine your screen recording with some animations and images. Hope this may help you.

Uno is based on UWP, on Windows it uses the native UWP stack.

Yes, I just fail to see why one not went with some easy fix and then perhaps thinks about enhancing the spec. Errors can happen, I did break stuff in the past, too.

Thank you, great blog post! I do a lot of MS-DOS/Pentium and earlier retro programming so I love this stuff. The Amiga is a platform that I missed out on in my youth but I'm keen to have a crack at it some day. Most recently I made this demo with my group https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=95524 which won the 2024 Meteoriks award for best midschool production!

Do you mean paying for tutoring (in which case you actually learn the material), or more devious shenanigans like faking your work, cheating or hiring lookalikes to sit for exams, bribing professors, etc.?


> the best among them can barley crack a 200 mile

How many people take 200 mile + road trips and how often? If there are enough DC fast charging infrastructure, where you can fill up say 40% of that range within a 15 minute rest stop, then that range is still not a problem. The issue currently is there isn't enough of those fast charging infrastructure.


I'm not convinced, because I think there will be a drive to distill down models and constrain them, and try to train models with access to "premade blocks" of functionality we know should help.

E.g. we know human voices can be produced well with formant synthesis because we know how the human vocal tract is shaped. So you can "give" a model a formant synth, and try to train smaller models outputting to it.

I think there's going to be a whole lot of research possibilities in placing constraints and training smaller models, and even training ensembles of models constrained in how they're interacting and their relative sizes to try to "force" extraction of functionality.

E.g. we have reasonable estimates at the lowest bitrate raw audio that produces passable voice. Now consider training two models A, B, where A => B => audio, and the "channel" between A and B is constrained to a small fraction of the bitrate that'd let A do all the work, and where the size of B is set at a level you've first struggled to get passable TTS output from.

Try to squeeze the bitrate and/or the size of B down and see if you can get something to emerge where analysing what happens in B is doable.


I'd recommend Vizzly: https://www.vizzly.co.

It's a low-code solution for customer-facing analytics but is super flexible and extensible with code. Embedding is available in React or Vanilla JS (no iFrames). You can build dashboards programmatically or with the no-code editor.

The backend query engine is also pretty powerful; performant and copes well with complex customer data structures.


Surgical resection of glioblastoma is usually (not always) one of the first steps in treatment, so you get that "for free".

But yes, I would expect it to be quite costly.

Quenya is an option, so (assuming you speak it) you could get your map navigation prompts in the voice of Galadriel...

I as Kate maintainer can not understand their position in that bug. I see that one might forget about the implications of that rename, but now it got reported and the fix would be, at least the simple one, to just keep the old icons for these names. That would have zero bad impact on 'modern GNOME apps'.

The justification I have heard is that a single rich pay-to-win student pays the way for multiple poor brilliant students.

"Tesla miles" are also a misleading metric because they don't factor in all the times the driver has to take back control over the vehicle to ensure safe operation, it's just the sum of arbitrary stretches of self driving that don't represent true autonomous operation.

Oh it is awesome progress! This discovery can be a significant step towards the development of universal donor blood. I have seen complications related to blood transfusion and its results. It has immense implications for blood transfusion safety and efficiency. I am curious to see its long term in-vivo experimental results.

I'm not entirely convinced that dinners at Red Lobster are what "every girl wants".


Do you have any good resources on this?

I took a few stabs at understanding Klatt, but I feel like I had far too little DSP, math and linguistic intuitions back then to fully comprehend it, perhaps I should take another one now.
