Von wegen technologieoffen: Wie das ZDF berichtet, haben sich Minister Wissing & Staatssekretär Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen. Unterstützern von "HVO100 goes Germany" wurden exklusive Treffen mit Wissing oder Luksic in Aussicht gestellt - gegen saftige Bezahlung. Luksic übernahm sogar die Schirmherrschaft für die u.a. von Tankstellen - Lobbyverbänden finanzierte Kampagne.
Medienberichten zufolge haben sich Minister Wissing und sein Staatssekretär Oliver Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Reste-Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen – explizit gegen die Empfehlung der Fachleute im Verkehrsministerium.
ich wunder mich so nebenbei, wieso da nicht die naheliegendste übersetzung verwendet wird, einfach "gabel", die ja wohl auch in jedem wörterbuch an erster stelle steht. Machine translations sind seltsam...
@cm Ha! Ich bin nicht allein mit dem Gedanken 😆 Auch wenn sich bei dem Gesamteindruck der Seite (ich habe letztendlich verzweifelt auf EN umgestellt) eher der Begriff "Mistgabel" anbieten würde 🙊 💨
Per Gesetz verpflichtet Bayern seine Hochschulen zur Kooperation mit der Bundeswehr. Die Kritik daran ist laut, CSU, Freie Wähler und SPD waren aber dafür.

Long before #Rosetta & 67P/C-G, there was Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 & its devastating 1994 encounter with Jupiter.
I was privileged to be part of the team that made & released the very first images of Fragment A impacting at ~20:15 UTC on 16 July, 30 years ago last night, as seen from Calar Alto in Spain.
The brightness of the impact plume was a huge surprise & the following week saw intense astronomical, media, & public engagement.
We had an amazing time at the 2024 ACB National Convention! The debut of the JAWS AI Training Suite was a hit, the sessions were informative, and the exhibit hall was a blast. Our favorite part was connecting with everyone; what was your favorite part of #ACB2024?

I enjoyed playing the games that the other contestants submitted. It was powerful being able to submit a pull request to fix a typo and have it fixed quickly. That's something proprietary games cannot offer.
We have released a new update for the BT Speak. It includes a new text to speech manager for installing or removing Vocalizer and RH voices, as well as new speech engines from Pico and Festival Lite. We have a new Clock Settings menu to disable the announcement of seconds and 12/24 hour time announcement options. Audio from MP4 files can now be played from the file browser. Read about these changes along with the other improvements in this latest update. blazietech.com/july-16th-2024-…
In terms of creating a less bias AI model, it is better to have a more diverse training model. Thus, if many data subjects opt-out to this training attempt, in the long run there will be a worse off propaganda machine.
This is one of those current dilemmas between quality of model and acquiring of data.
After reading an article on the average news site, there are usually links to articles of dubious quality that are often salacious clickbait. These are usually Taboola ads.
It is thus a huge surprise to hear that Apple plans to run ads from them in its News and Stocks apps.

For the Nation of Gondwana festival this weekend, me and Nicl worked on a 3D printed tactile map. Made me wonder if there are any standards in this direction, like what shape would a toilet have and all that. If anyone has some pointers, please let us know!
This was first drawn in inkscape and then later extruded layer by layer in openscad2.
One of the best devices I used last week was not even electronic. It works with your smartphone, but it doesn't have a battery.
I am a huge fan of the Dot Card as it lets you share your contact information without the need to give out business cards. I think the interface could be a bit more user friendly, but it is still a fantastic device.
I hate my brain sometimes. I woke up with the phrase 'wonking with equal abandon' in my head and I now have to reread whichever novel it was that was in, regardless of the book I had originally planned to read next.
Well at least you know which book it came from. What gets to me is when I hear a snatch of dialogue or snatch of music in my head. I know I know it, I just can't place from where. It can drive me bonkers for days on end.
@lulu_bear :) I get that a lot too. I had this phrase about someone spinning like the top of a lighthouse for ages, and it took months for me to find the book. Even just tone of voice from a line in an old drama or movie will torment me sometimes.

A while ago, Simon Phipps, member of the Board of Directors at The Document Foundation, shared the idea to introduce a peer-to-peer collaboration built in to desktop LibreOffice without the requirement for a cloud provider.
This idea is brilliant! I think I see a hint to matrix as a potential chat platform and would indeed use that myself, but it would be hard to convince people to use any new chat platform just for a single use-case. If you view suggestions here, I would recommend additionally implementing something like [Syncthing](github.com/syncthing/syncthing) or even a Tor hidden service. Both of these can be automated and don't require a hosted server. [Briar](code.briarproject.org/briar) has a good example of what I mean for tor and I think syncthing is self explanatory. There is also the wonderful project [Reticulum](github.com/markqvist/Reticulum), but you(LibreOffice) would probably need to host your own tcp relay for any sort of stability.
That would be great. Would be nice if it could work peer-to-peer/serverless and could resolve locally for situations where everybody is in the same LAN. Also, here is some inspiration from the past linutop.com/news/2009/02/09/co…
It's striking that so many continue to deny the Nakba when it's all so well documented. This excerpt is about the ethnic cleansing of Lod (Lydda) in July 1948: - it's very clear that the intent is on driving out all residents of Lod, not just those who could pose military threats - Israeli heroes (David Ben Gurion, Yigal Allon, Yitzhak Rabin) were directly responsible for ordering and implementing the expulsion

This is where I could really use your help, if you're interested! - Help with training costs: I've been fortunate to receive a grant from Google's TRC program, but there are some additional expenses. Any contribution would be incredibly helpful. - Donating spare GPU power or Colab credit: Even a little bit would be a huge boost!
@nick This is more efficient and lightweight. Compared to Piper, this model is more responsive and requires less system resources. Also this is a modern TTS implementation, I referred to papers published in 2023-2024.
GOtcha. I might throw you a few dollars to maek it go, especially if you can come up with training data that won't have the pronunciation problems that existed with PIper.
@nick Currently I'm exclusively working on the model architecture, which will resolve some of the issues. I'll train on freely available, high quality datasets, but creating a new dataset from scratch is beyond my current resources. I'll leave this for later, and I can help anyone who wants to take up this task.
@nick A good dataset will definitely help a lot. Not only me, but any future developer who will work in this field. Also, a high quality dataset can establish a bridge between our community and academia, where major TTS breakthroughs happen. We give you our dataset to evaluate your models, and you allow us to use your great TTS model architectures.
@Musharraf :verified: Please, when preparing the dataset what's the difference between train and val? If I have single speaker recording what do I put in those folders?
@pvagner In machine learning, A dataset is usually split into two splits. The 'train' split is the larger, and is used as input for model training. The 'val' split is relatively small, and it is used for evaluating how the model performs during training.
@pvagner Given you have a list of wav files and the corresponding transcription, first you need to decide on the size of each split. Depending on the size of your dataset, you can split it 95%-5% or 99%-1% for training and val respectively.
@tomecki Simply put: Sonata is an inference engine that can theoretically drive any TTS model. OptiSpeech is an actual model that generates speech, and the quality of the output depends on it.
I' afraid I cannot. The whole point of this and Sonata is to create high-quality, but very efficient and lightweight neural TTS. Coqui-TTS models are neither efficient nor lightweight.
@luiscarlosgonzalez Tortoise TTS is too heavy for a high-end server, let alone a standard computer or a mobile device. This system is designed specifically for running on a standard CPU.
@rperez030 Thanks for your contribution. Really appreciate it! For this month, Pneuma Solutions provided GPU resources for training. But I still accept donations to ensure we have enough resources for future training needs. I'm happy to receive your donations via my colleague's paypal address: paypal.me/geotts or Email: info@geotts.ge Please mention mush42/tts in the transaction note.
Please vote for an implementation of VJOURNAL in Thunderbird. 👇 This would REALLY improve the ecosystem and usability of open protocols! Currently there is almost no software on the desktop to sync your notes and journals with a CalDAV server and TB could fill a huge gap here.
# already has a great support for VTODO VCALENDAR and contacts. What is missing though is support for VJOURNAL entries. Journals are close to calendar entries.

#DisabilityIN The Evinced CEO referred to the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Working Group as one of the three pillars of creating accessible content. Using it can guarantee “100% accessibility”.
a single technology automatically making it possible to guarantee “100% accessibility” is at least as ridiculous as a single technology guaranteeing 100% security. This doesn’t just apply to automation/overlays; it applies to every technology used on any nontrivial project.
Replacing the word “accessibility” with “security” and vice versa is a good bullshit detector for marketing material.
Ultimately, nothing short of allowing the user to remake the entirety of the program's human-interaction layer to their liking will provide 100% accessibility.

Ben-Gurion was at Yazur that afternoon. According to the best ac- count of the meeting, at which Yadin, Ayalon and Allon, Israel Galili and Lt Colonel Yitzhak Rabin, chief of operations of Operation Dani (and of the Palmah), were present, someone, possibly Allon, after hearing of the outbreak in Lydda, proposed expelling the inhabitants of the two towns. Ben-Gurion said nothing, and no decision was taken. Then Ben-Gurion, Allon and Rabin stepped outside for a cigarette. Allon reportedly asked: ‘What shall we do with the Arabs?’ Ben-Gurion responded with a dis- missive, energetic gesture with his hand and said: ‘Expel them [garesh otam].’88
Within minutes, at 13:30 hours, just as the shooting was dying down, Operation Dani HQ issued the following order to Yiftah Brigade HQ:
1. The inhabitants of Lydda must be expelled quickly without attention to age. They should be directed towards Beit Nabala. Yiftah [Brigade HQ] must determine the method and inform [Operation] Dani HQ and 8th Brigade HQ.
