Ik heb het al een beetje geautomatiseerd. Misschien dat ik het dit weekend nog wat meer automatiseer.

• VALL-E – Neural Codec Language Models are Zero-Shot Text to Speech Synthesizers
  Dit is creepy as fuck. Drie seconden sample en een neuraal network doet test to speech die meer dan uitstekend is en precies lijkt op de sample.

  WebAssembly port van één van de toen allerongelooflijkste geames.
• Elite for Emacs | Sami Salkosuo
  “A recent discovery from old backups revealed something long forgotten: I really developed a version of Elite for…. that’s right… Emacs text editor.”
• Cocktail Party Physics: by the sword
  Te klasseren onder “no shit, Sherlock” — Witcombe and Meyer found “Sword swallowers are more likely to sustain an injury — such as a perforation of the esophagus — if they are distracted or are using multiple or unusual swords.” Mostly, the respondents suffered from a sore throat (or as they call it, “sword throat,” such wags, those guys), generally from the multiple sword stunts, or swallowing odd-shaped blades such as curved sabers rather than straight ones.

It was published shortly after his death, as a commemorative first edition.
• WiFi Routers Used to Produce 3D Images of Humans
  Creepy. Simple Wi-Fi routers can be used to detect and perceive the poses and positions of humans and map their bodies clearly in 3D, a new report has found.
  With the help of AI neural networks and deep learning, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University were also able to create full-body images of subjects.

  Zot. Ongelooflijk goede spraakherkenning, in de browser.
• Japan was the future but it’s stuck in the past – BBC News
  America and Europe once feared the Japanese economic juggernaut much the same way they fear China’s growing economic might today. But the Japan the world expected never arrived. In the late 1980s, Japanese people were richer than Americans. Now they earn less than Britons.
  For decades Japan has been struggling with a sluggish economy, held back by a deep resistance to change and a stubborn attachment to the past. Now, its population is both ageing and shrinking.
  Japan is stuck.
