Ура!
Подкаст, в котором мы записывались на прошлой неделе и с которым потом было так много странных историй, всё же выложен в архив вместе с кратким резюме.
Мы с @Destranis были очень рады рассказать незрячим венграм о новом синтезаторе речи, с которыми в Венгрии прям беда и грусть.

Если кому интересно, подкаст можно послушать по вот этой ссылке:

Грустно, что @asael не мог участвовать в беседе, так как не знает венгерского, но мы упоминули его (правда с очень русским произношением его имени).

MacOS kernelové ovladače třetích stran zakázal, v Linuxu běží Falcon jako eBPF. Za to, že Microsoft nebyl schopný poskytnout vhodná API, není přece problém antimonopolní regulace.

A ta perlička o úderu blesku - Kurtz to posral v McAfee a teď to podělal v CrowdStrike. To, že se podobná chyba stala na dvou místech zároveň je záležitost firemní kultury, viz např. zde: hachyderm.io/@shanselman/11281…


Největší IT kalamita za posledních deset let má překvapivý důvod: antimonopolní regulaci

V pátek se zastavil provoz v největším evropském přístavu v Rotterdamu, na zemi zůstala letadla desítek leteckých společností. Jen v USA došlo během pátku a soboty ke zrušení více než pěti tisíc letů.

No, Southwest Airlines is not still using Windows 3.1

A story that's been persistently making the rounds since the CrowdStrike event is that while several airline companies were affected in one way or another, Southwest Airlines escaped the mayhem because they were still using windows 3.1. It's a great story that fits the current zeitgeist about technology and its role in society, un

I'm glad to share with you this early sample of my new neural TTS model OptiSpeech.
The model is end-to-end, and this variant is based on ConvNeXtTTS architecture.
Noticeably, the model is trained using 24KHz sampling rate, while being very performant.
Thanks for Pneuma Solutions for providing access to the hardware I'm using to train the model.

How does it handle punctuation differences? My biggest pet peeve with virtually all synths apart from Espeak and Eloquence is that a comma, period, exclamation point, semicolon, two dashes etc. all sound the same! Same amount of pause and same voice inflection. With eSpeak, for example, the voice will pitch up and sound more excited if the sentence ends with an exclamation point. Is that something LLM’s can do?

@drew
It's one of my biggest issues too. And it's one of the things I'm trying to address through this effort.
It largely depends on the model's design, given you have a good dataset.
With large models, it is almost a solved issue, but with compact models it is a challenge.
Large models have grater capacity to learn sentence-level as well as character-level prosody.

For some reason I had a copy of this 3 years ago that I don't remember reading.

Finished it yesterday. it was ... kinda OK, guess. clever twist on if just one small thing had been different.

Per this episode: Dogs Can Smell Your Stress and Make Choices Based on It - New research seems to support the notion that dogs can read a person's mood via their scent. Dogs involved in an experiment appeared to have their own moods changed by the human sweat/breath odors presented to them. This "contagious emotion" then appeared to inform choices and actions made by the dog. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

Man's stressed friend! Dogs can smell stress in your breath and sweat - and it puts them in a bad...

Researchers from the University of Bristol have discovered that dogs really can tell when you are stressed and are even put in a bad mood by the smell of worried humans.

Something you may not have realised is right-handed: playing cards.

When you pick up a card with your dominant hand and add it to the front of a card you're holding in your non-dominant hand, you create a fan towards your dominant hand.

Standard playing cards have a small version of the number and suit in two corners so that you can see them no matter which way up the card is, *as long as they're fanned right*, and many modern card games follow suit (ha!) without thinking, for the convention or aesthetic

Consider mirroring important summary information in both left and right corners (Ticket to Ride does a great job putting the suits in both corners while maintaining the pleasant asymmetrical feel of having them in one)

It's admittedly only a tiny accessibility issue, but it IS an accessibility issue, so have think about it.

#GameDev #Accessibility #a11y #TableTop #CardGames #BoardGames

Standard playing cards
Cards from LOOT. In addition to the summaries only being in the left corner, they rely on colour-vision to distinguish them, (despite the MAIN image having different symbols!)
Cards from Love Letter, with the number shown only on the left.
Cards from Ticket to Ride, with symbols in all four corners (colourblind friendly, too, although the carriage pieces in the same game are a problem)
