And, for what it's worth, the current status on free access to the Reddit API: "All others will continue to access the Reddit Data API without cost, in accordance with our Developer Terms, at this time. Many of you already know that our stated rate limit, per this documentation, was 60 queries per minute. As of July 1, 2023, we will enforce two different rate limits for the free access tier[...]"
But for how long? And can we expect third party apps to start allowing us to enter our own API keys?

Our fun with Piper continues! Three new voices were just added to the folder, two of them trained by @ZBennoui. The first is a British Female from data put out by Harvard. I think this one is my favorite; her voice is very pleasant and it works great as a screen reader voice. The most intriguing of these new additions is a model that Zach trained on his own voice. This is sort of a prototype, but an amazing one at that. Our minds were blown when we heard it because he only used about seven minutes of audio. It definitely sounds a bit more computerized, but it is super robust even with this little data. And finally, a model I trained on the CLB dataset from Festival. This is a US Female voice. There are a number of these Festival datasets, so I will likely train a few more. Would love to know what you think of these new voices. drive.google.com/drive/folders…

When technology is designed to expose and discredit users, the consequences can be brutal. That’s why privacy is paramount and Big Tech must live up to its responsibility.

This story is a critical reminder of why privacy matters: Even if you have nothing to hide. We're not data or business metrics, we are people, and when companies fail to see this, there are real-world consequences.

Děkuju Jakubovi Pavlovskému z H7O, že mi poskytl prostor pro moje dlouhé odpovědi. 😊

„Čím lepší má člověk představu o tom, co všechno překlad literatury může obnášet, tím více si bude vážit kvalitního překladu a překladatele,“ říká v květnovém rozhovoru v sérii Třicátníci překladatelka Anna Štádlerová. Z jejích odpovědí vyplývá, jak přemýšlí o životě a své práci, ale i jaké má pochybnosti o setrvání v oboru a obavy z umělé inteligence.
