yup, it's also great for fixing and equalizing a rope to a sport anchor for top rope soloing, etc. https://www.alpinesavvy.com/blog/fixing-a-rope-two-knots-to-.... Super easy to adjust/equalize.

I don't know if xcancel is getting hugged to death or blocks all of Canada or something, but I've been getting connection refused every time I've clicked on one of their links here.

Works in Canada here, but it’s probably just getting rate-limited by Twitter; I’m surprised any Nitter instance works at this point.

they're also used a lot for training current TTS and audio codec models to output speech that sounds realistic.

I saw a snippet of a podcast on instagram recently where both the host and guest used the word delve, and it reminded me of a year or two ago when that was used as a telltale sign of LLM writing. Interesting to see it actually quantified.

Exactly this. At the university I went to a comp sci degree was mostly theoretical with a substantial overlap with mathematics (we could even substitute a certain amount of high level comp sci classes for mathematics classes if we wanted). When I took electives such as intro level neuroscience classes I was unprepared for the levels of memorization required.

This is what a liberal arts institution is (the university I went to is one). At my uni if you are taking a science degree you need to take 4 social science classes and 4 fine arts/humanities. and vice versa for students in fine arts/social sciences.

I think they mean Replit's CEO is the same guy.

If it's described in a paper doesn't that make it prior art though?

Not if it is the authors of the paper filing for the patent. Otherwise people would never publish papers.

Patents are intended to be the form of first public disclosure of an idea. Disclosing it before patenting it can prevent the patent application being valid.

US has a 1 year grace period. In most countries, any public disclosure makes an idea unpatentable.

This always grinds my gears. For some people "discoveries" are so obvious, they don't bother writing a paper let alone patenting it. Then someone goes and patents it...

Examples?

I am sorry for not being precise. You should enter "Categories" in "For" input. (in the "Or" section)

Does anyone know of an open-source TTS like this that can also encode speech to do voice conversion alongside TTS? i.e. a model that would take speech as input and convert it to one of the pretrained TTS voices.
