The images of spectrogram analysis between the real and fake voices seemed to be distinguishable by the human eye. Can a image model be trained to detect fake voice spectrograms based on pitch and tone choppiness?

I find the site decently fast, definitely ugly but then again I don't want it to get a reddit-style redesign either. The information density is ok right now, and I'm actually impressed by the wide range of functionalities they have, related to reviewing books and updating your progress.

Working closely with people (friends preferably) who have higher "discipline" than you, and seeing how they grind their way through a problem is instructive sometimes.
Re:China sows disinformation on Hong Kong using porn accounts on Twitter
on Tuesday September 03, 2019 @09:02AM (#20866042)
I've seen something similar in some extremist bot accounts, where the tweet picture and text has a titillating and sexual tone (like catfishing) but includes an unrelated political hashtag at the end. These bots try to get certain hashtags trending without the users who fav the tweets realizing that.
Re:Ask HN: Have your weekends evolved into “workends”?

What's your age? I've noticed in my circle that single unmarried people have less pressing things to do after work, thus are open to working in the weekends, unlike people with families.
Re:Could Removing Social Media Metrics Reduce Polarization?
on Tuesday August 20, 2019 @03:21PM (#20750914)
The physical world is hugely polarized. I don't see how tweaking the UI of websites is going to reduce real-world tendencies, it's a losing battle.
Why generate a fake story? Why not communicate the real and moving journey of how a single note in the training data travelled through hundreds of neurons and thousands of matrices, and eventually made it past the final activation function to become a feature in the output tensor.

Re:Cryptocurrency chaos as China cracks down on ICOs
on Wednesday September 13, 2017 @06:47AM (#15237065)
If we exclude all the silly buzzword-driven ICOs that have sprung up recently to take advantage of the hype, there are plenty of companies that are years old (started after the 2014 surge) and have decent working products. These companies have been waiting for a surge in cryptocurrency adoption and deserve the funding they are getting.

Re:Filecoin: A Decentralized Storage Network [pdf]
on Saturday July 22, 2017 @08:24AM (#14826839)
Also, if decentralized storage systems become very popular, then people will buy lesser storage space with their computers, because they expect storage space to be cheaply available online. In that case, the number of individual hosters would reduce and big companies/pools would step, making it less decentralized.

It would be relatively easy for the VC to identify where the 'anonymous' leak came from - the people they screwed.
