It is indeed a common weakness of TTS models. Unfortunately it makes it unsuited for my use case, which is almost entirely single words, as I don't particularly want to deal with stitching/segmenting input/output.

I tried that, and found dryers actually vibrate so little that most sensors have a hard time reliably detecting it.

It's actually really, really easy to get the state of a "dumb" washing machine (or any other electric machine) into Home Assistant using a smart plug. You can use something really basic like "power draw for > n secon

All major online game companies are moving towards kernel-level anticheat, as it's almost pointless to attempt anticheat otherwise.

I played on a fantastic MUD as a kid. It was based on the code for some other MUD, and the admins were unhappy about some things, so they decided to write their own MUD engine from scratch. They got as far as establishing a network connecti

Even worse, some will simply arbitrarily silently truncate the password. But not everywhere! The sign up page might silently truncate and then the actual login page might not.

Unfortunately, traditional pinsetters are well on their way out. All of the chains now use new models with strings that are much cheaper to operate. Non-chain bowling alleys with traditional pinsetters almost all get displaced by competitio

I've always only bought Taiyo Yuden media since ~2000. Every CD-R and DVD-R I still have that I've tried is still readable. Taiyo Yuden at least used to be white labeled sometimes, so you'd just look up online what white-labe

Oh hey, I sold them that github account name for 0.11 BTC. They obviously had deep pockets but I wondered whether they'd end up having any success.

There's no shortage of adwall sites, which is pretty much the evolution. Outsourcing of ad fraud is their bread and butter.

That's quite disingenuous. Entirely different circumstances and facts. You're using the absolute maximum prosecutors were threatening Swartz with in order to extract a plea deal. They would not have brought anything near that to t

Also, if you have a Windows Update pending that requires a reboot, attempting to install anything from the Windows Store will fail, sometimes with a cryptic error code and sometimes not even that.

Uber deals with a commodity - the variance in someone driving you from point to point is pretty low, and the qualitative parts are basically all consumer visible. The market for contractors is basically a market for lemons. There's 10

ShopRunner is also free, forever, if you ever sign up for one of their free trials - I think they tend to happen around Black Friday. I signed up for a free 1 year trial 5+ years ago, and it's still active. I don't know if they&#x

Some states have tried, including Colorado in the most recent election via ballot measure, but the plans have been resoundingly defeated at the ballot. I doubt even Massachusetts's current health system would pass a vote if it were on

Naan is everywhere in the US. I'd expect tourists preferring naan is pure familiarity. I see naan at every grocery store, much like sushi. Or pita, thinking of breads.

If I recall this is largely why eBay started charging the seller fees on the shipping cost (boy was that a loophole) and then heavily pushed sellers to move to free shipping. On the flip side, as an eBay seller it's kind of painful to

The Anniversary Update completely hosed the Windows install on my desktop. It got stuck at 15% installing with the infamous spinning circle - I let it run 8 hours at 15% just to be sure because there is zero info given to you beyond the s

It's also worth pointing out that the Gameloft acquisition was very much a hostile takeover. Gameloft and Ubisoft were both founded by the Guillemot family, and the Guillemots basically washed their hands of Gameloft after they failed

The energy has long since moved from RTSes to MOBAs. It's doubtful Blizzard will ever make a Starcraft 3. Pure RTSes are going the way of the point & click adventure game. I'm sure you probably have, but give League of Legends
