At what point did AI-generated human speech become so remarkably realistic?

I recall just a couple of years ago when even the best models, like WaveNet, still had a subtle robotic quality.

What architectures or models have led to this breakthrough? Or is it possible that, as a non-native English speaker, I’m missing some nuances?

Biodanza is a system created by a Chilean psychiatrist that has worked wonders for me. It's a subconscious emotional healing technique where the process is experienced with a group of people and a person who facilitates the experience.

Or maybe they wear some sort of tags in their clothing to identify them as hiders.

Hey, this is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Happy to know I'm not the first one to think about it. While it may be a niche thing, it proves that there is actually an audience for it. Did you have a price set for it? Did you do any kind of marketing for it?

Interesting, thanks for the feedback!

Ask HN: What do you think of a “varying ringtone”?

jimijazz — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 15:03:56 +0000

Hi all,

I have this buisness idea where I create a way for ringtones to slightly vary on each call, either in rythm, tonality or timbre.

This could be done algorithmically, by ensuring the ringtone does not deviate too much from what one can recognize as your phone ringing, but at the same time to vary over time to keep it interesting, suprising, and not end up as an obnoxious sound.

How does the HN audience feel about this? Would you use it? and would this be feasible to implement in Android and iOS ?

Is it technically correct to call 'Oumuamua an UFO? I mean, it is unidentified so it should apply, right?

I'd always ask a startup what their runway is. If it's less than a year I wouldn't go for it.
