Sony has announced a trio of new Walkman portable media players that start at an already absurd $1,899.99 for the NW-ZX900 and climb all the way up to $5,899 for the gold-plated NW-WM1ZM3. Sandwiched in between is the $2,999.99 Walkman NW-WM1AM3, which is nearly identical to the WM1ZM3, just minus the gaudy gold shell. All […]

Volvo says the new point-to-point system will be Level 2++, meaning it can […]

*You can drag and drop your old resume, and with a little luck, most of the data will be imported, which can at least serve as a good starting point. I initially built RickCV a few months ago as a simple template for an HTML resume and have continued to refine it over time. I and many people in my personal circle enjoy using it and have had success with it. It’s a relatively playful approach that might not be to everyone’s taste. It currently supports the following formats: - German cover letter following the layout rules of DIN 5008 - English cover letter, in A4 or US Letter. I hope you…

TLDR: I’m building Earshot - the sound detection app that can detect (ideally) any sound described by text. The neural model under the hood is a CLAP-style model (CLIP for audio): basically during the training you force the model make inner text and audio representations to match. And then you can use such model as 0-shot audio classifier. For POC I used LAION’s clap-htsat model but it turned out to be quite "heavy" so I’ve trained a smaller one by myself. As for text encoder I used model from the EfficientAT family; for audio I used jhu-clsp/ettin-encoder-32m. The training was performe…
