CorentinJ: Real-Time Voice Cloning (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 21:23:03

Real-Time Voice Cloning This repository is an implementation of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis (SV2TTS) with a vocoder that works in real-time. This was my master's thesis. SV2TTS is a deep learning framework in three stages. In the first stage, one creates a digital representation of a voice from a few seconds of audio. In the second and third stages, this representation is used as reference to generate speech given arbitrary text. Video

Observable Notebooks Data Loaders

The cell above is JavaScript that runs in Node.js, unlike normal JavaScript cells that run in the browser. The output of a data loader cell is automatically saved to a .observable/cache directory on your local file system alongside your notebooks. Data snapshots are stable — the data only updates if you re-run the data loader cell. In Observable Desktop, you can re-run a data loader cell by clicking the Play button, by hitting shift-return, or by clicking on the query age in the cell toolbar. I

Writing an operating system kernel from scratch

Posted on: September 13, 2025 | at 09:30 AM Follow @popovicu94 I recently implemented a minimal proof of concept time-sharing operating system kernel on RISC-V. In this post, I’ll share the details of how this prototype works. The target audience is anyone looking to understand low-level system software, drivers, system calls, etc., and I hope this will be especially useful to students of system software and computer architecture. This is a redo of an exercise I did for my undergraduate cours

Hey Google, let’s get rid of ads in Gmail

Stephen Headrick / Android Authority I hate ads. But I love Google. What a conundrum. We live in an online world that largely runs on ads, and I think it’s important to have this option so that products can continue to be used for free by the majority of the world. In fact, the free website you’re currently visiting to read these words right now is largely powered by ads. Again, this is a vital part of the internet being what it is today.

Presence in VR should show tiny people, not user avatars (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 08:49:25

Since picking up a virtual reality headset a couple weeks ago, I’ve been asking myself: how should the future operating system for apps work? Like: how do you write docs? How do you collaborate on a deck? How do you launch your messaging app? Games are easy because they get to be weird. But for apps you need standard behaviours. So I’m trying to think through this from first principles and see what comes to mind… ALSO keep in mind that I have become obsessed with the overview mode in Walkabou

Numbers (sort of) and some punctuation marks are included. You can probably read this, even if you wish you couldn't. It tends to be easier to read at smaller sizes.

Weird CPU architectures, the MOV only CPU (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-20 21:46:46

I like CPU architectures, especially weird, interesting and unusual ones. For example, the Intel iAPX 432 is still something I would love to play around with. Recently, I realized that a working CPU can be made with just a simple Move instruction. For this to work, everything needs to be memory mapped. The ALU, program counter, everything. Of course, this idea is nothing new and this idea is called the Transport Triggered Architecture. I decided to have a look into this, how it works and make a

Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO.

Balatro's big 2025 update won't be coming out this year after all

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port.
