Dunno why people still write about Kokoro, there are better alternatives. Pocket TTS has more natural intonation and voice cloning. Supertonic 3 is another great model in the same weight class, which is the only one that can autodetect lang

Dumb. This is what modules are for. Also, the stdlib is extremely well designed. It considers edge cases most people never think about. Source: I am a Boost Developer.

That blog post is full of AI slop. Repeats the same argument a gazillion times. It's not X, it's Y. Awful to read.

Great, thanks for making me Google what CRM means in this context. Neither your post nor your website explains the acronym.

And now you can do this with polars in parallel on all your cores and the GPU, using almost the same syntax as in pyspark.

I wrote my first post about parsing webpages to structured data with a LLM in January, using local models. Now its October and I did it again with current models and libraries. Boy, what a difference.

The post is so painfully obviously AI written, it hurts my eyes. The Setup The Scoop The Conclusion I hate AI slop.

Yes, bad article to omit that. It is such a cool fun fact. Gauss was unreal.

Since you seem to know your stuff, why do LLMs need so much data anyway? Humans don't. Why can't we make models aware of their own uncertainty, e.g. feeding the variance of the next token distribution back into the model, as a fou

IANAL, but it means the commit itself is public domain. When integrated into a code base with a more restrictive license, you can still use that isolated snippet in whatever way you want. More interesting question is whether one could remov

Very cool idea. Can't wait for converted models on HF.

This is not everyone, but if you've been writing scientific papers with LaTeX, you may have come across this issue. You go to an online database (Inspire or ADS) to fetch some references for your paper. Then you have to copy/paste

Apart from the visible changes to the user interface, I completely swapped out the foundation. iminuit consists - at its core - of Python bindings to the Minuit2 C++ library. We used to generate those bindings with Cython, but Cython is ver

Hi, I present the v2.0 overhaul of iminuit, the Jupyter-friendly Python interface for CERN's Minuit2 C++ library. iminuit is a minimizer to find a minimum of a mathematical (Python) function. It is used by people who fit complicated st

Thanks for the feedback, I am going to update the example in the readme. The point was that boost::histogram plays nicely with the C++ stdlib algorithms, but that seems to be distracting.

Some Boost libraries have little or no dependency on other libraries, e.g. boost::mp11. In the past, our libraries used to be very interdependent, but we recognize that this is an issue and nowadays try to decouple the libraries so that you

Glad to hear it! What was the problem with Boost Variant exactly?

Labels are metadata. You can attach arbitrary metadata to each axis or no metadata at all. The metadata is sometimes useful to keep track what each axis range was representing. For example, if you load a serialized histogram into your progr
