It means there is zero training involved in getting from voice sample to voice duplicate. There used to be models that take a voice sample, run 5 or 10 training iterations (which of course takes 10 mins, or a few hours if you have hardware as shitty as mine), and only then duplicate the voice.
This you give the voice sample as part of the input, and immediately it tries to duplicate the voice.
While that is a logical assumption, it’s not actually true. [1]
If you intake X calories, your body will use them to provide you energy for exercise. If you don’t exercise, you won’t always just turn it into fat - your body will find another find other uses of the calories such as producing stress hormones.
Exercise is important but will not make you lose weight alone.
There is a signal light mounted on the top of the vehicle. When it detects a pedestrian in a crosswalk or waiting to cross, it lights up with a little ‘human walking’ picture. It makes it very clear to everyone it sees you.
Didn't know about this. Only Apple would think of taking live video of your eyes and projecting them on the exterior of the visor... and call it Eye Sight...
Potential users will read "external display" and immediately think of many uses, and I'd bet the last of them would be "stream my eyes". It's perfectly bland and corporate, I suppose Apple is aiming for normalization, "VR googles you could wear at a party without feeling dorky!".
The iFixIt teardown was very interesting, nevertheless.
As a publisher of an extension with both of the above, you definitely can. To be honest I’m not sure what the validation process is like inside Google because I only had to provide 2-3 sentences for each major permission I requested.
You do get a notification when installing it that says ‘this extension will have access to: -everything’, so the user should be aware of what’s going on.
The sad thing is, probably half the extensions I have installed have these permissions, and I see them during install and I just sigh and click OK, knowing full well the implications, but still needing that juicy extension functionality regardless.
I recall wanting to install a password manager extension at my previous job, for the tool that the company uses, and even knowing that many others use it and the company doesn’t block it, I still wasn’t comfortable with the permissions it wanted.
There are sponsored posts dispersed through your feed.
Writing this, I've realized that TikTok hasn't made the terms for it's posts/feed obvious. Twitter has Tweets/Timeline, Facebook has Feed, I don't know what I would say to describe a post from TikTok outside of calling the video itself a 'TikTok'
I’ve found that it does. It’s easy to forget some of the more nuanced grammar rules, or if you’re spending more time building a sentence it can be easy to lose track of things like maintaining prior tenses.
It probably fulfills a slightly different use case than non-native speakers.
My roommate was planning on using this to end his life and after we confronted him he said he chose this because you essentially fall asleep and don’t wake up. Sounds painless but typically those who use it can’t give thorough reviews on the product.
My last roommate was planning on ending his life and once we found out and talked with him about it, the situation escalated and we called the authorities. They searched his room and found this exact product. He bought it off of Amazon.
It’s astounding how many odd chemicals you can buy online without a reason for using them.
Why should I need to give a reason for purchasing most chemicals?
If I did, and was intent on buying this to commit suicide, how long would it take for me to read the extra sentence on the site that told me about sodium nitrite in the first place that would now additionally advise me to say that I was buying it for (acceptable to others) reason X?
