[Past weekends side project] A quick introduction to contextual speech models I made some interactive visualisations to explain a bit better how recent contextual speech models and audio tokenization work (e.g. Sesame's demo).

this thing was widely reported as “the end of programming” in 1981 https://t.co/j0cok5NZKf right before that, in 1960s, people thought COBOL would allow everyone to build whatever software they wanted and there’s no need for programmers now the same people in the same bubble think agents will finally end it, because they spent a weekend and got impressed by how quickly the agent could produce a toy. now they think that’s how everyone wants to spend their weekends open your eyes - most regular humans don’t even want to talk to an agent Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
