Filter won’t necessarily help. It’s possible to use ultra sonic for amplitude modulation signal to affect the non linearity of a microphone itself. [0] Although it does require knowing what the underl…

Is a session cookie with datetime of access (and last visit somehow), so probably fine. not up on cookies and Gdpr tbh, I deal with other types of data normally.

I'm getting these additional requests. They're being blocked, so result in a warning message in the console. Didn't see anything in network requests for them. - https://stati…

When cars drive past I cannot listen to what someone is saying on the phone. It completely blocks all the sound of them talking. The cars don’t even have to be that loud or close by. A few tens of met…

A little off topic, but also not: I once worked at data science consultancy. They worked on a project that they ended up using random forest. But they also ran a simple single layer net to validate th…

The page forwards itself to a spam google survey for me? Page history fills with the spam survey and cant navigate back to the article. iOS safari with reader view enabled.

Hinton already came out with a “groundbreaking” paper not too long ago - capsule networks.

Just wanted to point out that iTunes has had a local focused set up since inception, using xml format for a library’s database. That seems to still exist with the introduction of Apple Music. So all l…

Nice read, thanks. Yeah, I’ve always had a weird feeling about whether I should have pivoted to deep fakes, cryptonets, or ML for security applications since I was a few months into PhD. Think I’ve fo…

But now I have to go find the issue in a completely separate system, rather than just look at the commit message. It’s added complexity, which is something we strive to remove from our code.

To me its beautiful, because it does what an issue tracking system does not do: it explains everything. Who, why, how, what, when. It is beautiful and simple documentation. Issue tracking typically re…

The accents are sometimes tagged in the metadata csv files. So it’s possible to filter some of them out. Mozilla DeepSpeech used to release checkpoints trained on Common Voice along with a few others …

I really enjoyed that video. Soundtrack was brill

The specific feature vector statement doesn’t hold for audio (at least). The time dimension adds complexity to the problem as the optimal values for the perturbation vary depending on both the immed…

Not at all. I was well on my way as a deadbeat before this recovery I’m now in. My point was that being referred to as a deadbeat would incite those 4 points above in varying forms and make me much …

I agree with what you’re saying, factually. I completely disagree with the way you’re saying it unfortunately. The important point to remember is that addicts already punish themselves waaaaaaaaay mor…

Just to be clear - when I say it is universal, I’m referring to those who suffer from addictions, and what they experience. Not everyone is an addict or will have problems with substance abuse who has…

I really wanted wanted to reply to the parent comment too, but you’ve done a better job than I ever could. Thank you.

As someone who is in recovery for drug and alcohol abuse, my own experience disagrees. Given any choice of substances, I’ll run wild with them. I can successfully self destruct no matter what the subs…

I’m in recovery for drug and alcohol abuse and spent a lot of time with other recovering drug addicts. None of us look down on stoners as “having it easy”. Addiction and the destruction it can bring t…

> you can't ignore the software aspect of your job, meaning that you need to understand basic database principles, parallel computing, SQL, etc. I still find it amazing that so many data scien…

> Overall: the point I'm trying to get across is that copyright must serve society and consumers first, and not rightsholders. If you want to think of it in terms of a transaction: the creator…

Ah wait. Hold on. I’ve just remembered about Performing/Mechanical (playing/copying) rights splits. You’re actually right. A lot of the time the Publisher will take the whole of the Mechanic…

Also, from one of your linked articles. > If you’re going to rely on fair use, the bottom line is, you need to factor in how much risk you’re willing to take. Why? Because some uses are riskier th…

Ah. I think I know what the problem is here. I’m based in the UK and it seems Fair Use applies somewhat different here thanks to the Copyrights act in 1988. We have a fair dealing clause[0] here. &g…

Got any specific examples of these works? > Let me challenge you by with one problem with the whole copyright system. Right now there are many works that were produced decades ago, are still under …

1a) My point was that without the creation (i.e. the artistic contribution, people getting together and jamming, me in my studio etc.) then the shared experiences wouldn't exist because nothing…

WRT artists and creativity... It's ridiculously reductive and misses swathes of nuance. Apparently anyone who uses an A minor chord is derivative by that logic. Anyone using an ABCDCAECCF song st…

> On the other hand, society really should be looking at non-exclusive ways to incentivize creation. Maybe a real copyright could be part of the mix too, but the current model rewards trying to own…
