Reminds me of https://github.com/RobViren/kvoicewalk where people take voice clips and train a text to speech using random walks.

Not related, misguided methods :D

Moosdijk · a day ago

Well, it’s the same author so it is kind of related.

I'm trying to make a neural audio codec using a variety of misguided methods. One I am using ESNs wrong spreading leak rates in a logarithmic fashion acting like a digital cochlea. The other is trying to do the same with a complex mass-spring-damper system to simulate the various hairs of the cochlea as well. Both approaches make super interesting visuals and appear to cluster reasonably well, but I am still learning about RVQ and audio loss (involves GANs and spectral loss). I kinda wanna beat SNAC if I can.

Do you have a log available somewhere?

Working on understanding why this thread gets hundreds of comments and upvotes while threads with the same name posted by other users don't get this much engagement.

I’m in this one because it was at the top of the front page.

Moosdijk commented on Europe is scaling back GDPR and relaxing AI laws theverge.com/news/823750/... · Posted by u/ksec

Europe has a shitload of homegrown competitors. The problem is that users here in Europe either goes for a national service or for an US service. They don't look up what their EU neighbor has to offer. In fact, most don't bother translating their services to appeal to the entire EU market.

If you live in country X, you will only ever learn about services from country X or from the US. No one here knows what goes on in neighboring countries.

It's easy to think the EU is like the USA, but it's not, it is still separate sovereign countries with their own language and culture.

I never really looked at it that way, but I think you're right. Although, non-European-owned companies aren't necessarily incentivized to look towards European companies. Looking towards your European neighbors mostly comes down to logistical situations. In those sectors, multilingual services are more common.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the feedback! "No hub required" is misleading. What I meant was "no additional proprietary hub". Meaning, if you're already running Home Assistant or have a Linux machine, you don't need to own a separate device like Zigbee/Z-Wave hub. But yes, the HA instance or Linux host is effectively acting as the hub. I'll update that wording on the site.

Moosdijk · 2 months ago

I'm hoping you'll open the API some time in the future. This would be great for diy installations with a esp32 hub.

No issues here on iPhone 12 running iOS 18.6.2 and Firefox 143.2 (62218)

The orbiting sensitivity is a bit high when zoomed in a lot, which can lead to the model spinning out of control, as the other user mentioned.

Still manageable though, just very sensitive.

Hello, playcanvas developer here. May I ask what phone/device you're on? Might be a bug. (No pun intended).

What's the point of this story? Bad actors win?

Here's a hot take: Name and Shame.

If this story is true, the author should be shouting their names from the rooftop.

Instead, we get this nonsense.

That's easier said than done, hence why Stefano probably didn't.

My experience with Gemini is the sole reason I am convinced that there's an AI hype going on. It consistently hallucinates key information which has led me to spend countless hours tracking down which information the output was based on, only to find that it dreamt up the facts that it gave to me.

The way I have come to perceive AI is that it's mostly good at reassuring/reaffirming people's beliefs and ideas than an actual source of truth.

That would not be an issue if it was actually marketed as such, but seeing the "guided learning" function fail time and again makes me think we should be a lot more critical of what we're being told by tech enthusiasts/companies about AI.
