raidicy··on A Writer Lost His Singing Voice, Then Discovered the 'Gymnastics' of Speech
I have not read the article but I wanted to comment on your comment. I too suffer from RSI in my hands and also am not able to be a vocalist anymore. I've been suffering from this for three-plus years now and I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. I bought this book 'it's not carpal tunnel syndrome' and some of the exercises have been helping. Take care.
raidicy··on The Democrats' Paranormal Economics
At the risk of sounding petty isn't this exactly like "as soon as Democrats are in office all of a sudden the deficit will mean something again?"

Is there anyone with a non-subjective view of this great reset meme that might share a tldr?
raidicy··on The NYT Helped a Vindictive Teen Destroy a Classmate Who Uttered a Racial Slur
This event and the NY Post shaming a sex worker are painting a funny picture of news outlets in my head. Where once it seemed drama and other random internet bs wouldn't even interest a paper, now I see tweets and viral oddities more regularly. Is this purely a result of click-bait/shock news pulling in more readers?
raidicy··on Scientific Speed Reading: How to Read 300% Faster in 20 Minutes
Is this kind of stuff self help bs? AFAIK there's only so much info that can be audibly transmitted between two speakers of a language at a time. Why should reading have any less of a bottleneck.

This project seems like absolute magic to me.
raidicy··on Ask HN: Build a no code API creator?
The balance between ease-of-use and functionality is a difficult beam. In my naive opinion, if you can create a platform where a no-code techie could create something but also let someone look under the hood, you will have built the perfect API creator. Right now the only analogue I've used is Strapi. However, this still takes deployment experience and at least a basic understanding of constructing dbs.

It's also worth looking at https://supabase.io/. Imo their route generation and automatic documentation is great and could be an inspiration.

raidicy··on Ask HN: Build a no code API creator?
I would use it only if I could be able to see/edit the source code. Sometimes it's vastly more simple to write 2 lines of code than construct a thought with drag and drop logic. For some Ux inspiration you might want to check out gdevelop. Its game creation software but uses drag and drop logic with slots for wiring things up. Kind of like a simpler scratch.

I'm an indie dev who doesn't make any money from my side projects so pricing is always a factor as well. Read: I always use a free tier.

raidicy··on Attention K-Mart Shoppers: Piped Music Collection on the Internet Archive
No but I imagine you could write a simple script to parse the links and download them en mass. No idea if archive inhibits such a thing though.
raidicy··on Attention K-Mart Shoppers: Piped Music Collection on the Internet Archive
This is my exact intention as well. I've got the tracks open in my editor and just let it play until something catches my attention.
raidicy··on Next.js Commerce store, one-click deploy to Netlify
I was looking to build with this until I read this chain of comments. I feel worried about using it and I don't think I should use even simple well built tools if this is the case.
raidicy··on Ask HN: What is the most Pythonic spoken language?
I can't really answer this but suggest perhaps some con lang's. Toki pona is a lang with only 200ish words meant for simple effective communication. And Lojban is a language meant to have unambiguousl grammar. The philosophy of the lang tests this one linguistics theory I cannot recall but it's a name of a man, and for the language to be logically understood. Unfortunately there are syntactic variations to phrases so there's no "pythonic" why to saying something (assuming pythonic means that there's one correct way to do something)
raidicy··on Anki Cards for Fast.ai
This perfect thank you. I love the concept of anki but always neglect adding more comprehensive card sets because having rsi means limited use time with my hands and thus needing to prioritize other things over flash card creation.
raidicy··on Ask HN: Why isn’t finance a part of the core curriculum at schools?
Usa here. In my "economics" class in 2007 our teacher gave us a handout on ergonomics and the rest of the semester she put on VHS tapes of ghost files.

raidicy··on NYU DS-GA 1008 – Deep Learning
There are very cool things you can do with DL. And the things you need to learn are not too difficult for basic NNs. Please don't dissuade someone's interests by saying they need the knowledge "from the ground up". Of course you will always have a "deeper" understanding any maths subjects if you start from the very beginning. But for me there was always so little context as to their use and application it was disheartening.

It will undoubtedly sound naive to some, but I've been preferring the ability to "drive the car" over how to build one from scratch. Using fastai and their book/videos I've been able to go from dropping calculus and quitting a web dev bootcamp to building an ML product in about a a year. (and would really be much fast if I didn't have repetitive strain injury)

GP, keep searching for your starting point.

Drive the car, learn to change the oil and brakes as you go. And if you're super interested, mod it and then make one.

raidicy··on Twilio’s Dutch rival MessageBird plans an IPO
this probably a dumb question; how do you participate in an ipo?
raidicy··on Ask HN: Is there any work being done in speech-to-code with deep learning?
i'd be interested in seeing it. can i follow you somewhere
raidicy··on Ask HN: Is there any work being done in speech-to-code with deep learning?
thank you for the suggestion I've never really used much of Twitter but it is worth a shot . if i just reply to their thread will they see it?
raidicy··on Ask HN: Is there any work being done in speech-to-code with deep learning?
thank you I ended up signing up for the waitlist I saw the demo for the English to bash one shot learning if I could somehow use that and combination with a speech recognition software I might be able to achieve something along the lines said I'm looking for
raidicy··on Ask HN: Is there any work being done in speech-to-code with deep learning?
sorry i am using dictation software.

I have found this research paper[0] that describes using a machine translation with a CNN and a r n n. it seems one of the main problems that come up with is a lack of training data so to progress this further it seems like we would need a big corpus of parallel text between natural English describing what the code does in the actual source code. I only have some novice experience with training machine learning models through transfer learning with fast AI but I have found a repository of tutorials[1] that teach you how to do machine translation between two languages and it seems maybe this approach might be applicable. There is a small corpus of text[2] with python code with annotations but and the paper itself at States. It probably needs more to get a higher than a 74% accuracy.

the only thing I can really think is to scrape GitHub make a website where you can get people to crowdsource annotations for code samples. I'm not sure on how to deal with how much and how little code would be for a sampling. I eat how much of the code would you need for a good training sample versus just using isolated functions. Perhaps that something like this might be used in correspondence with GPT.

thank you this is worth looking into.
raidicy··on Neurable Technology
Does anyone know how this hardware stacks up (price/performance) with nuerosity's headset?

I'd be interested in code running on events but would like to know how many different event types are these headsets are capable of handling.

raidicy··on Millions of Americans can't afford food, rent and other basics, report finds
I didn't. But it doesn't mean the books did it justice either. Anyway, I was trying to illustrate GP's point of getting back to normalcy, albeit vaguely.
raidicy··on Millions of Americans can't afford food, rent and other basics, report finds
I wonder if people in 1918 thought the same thing. And then the only impact the Spanish flu had on me was it was mentioned in passing in outdated middle school "social studies" books.
raidicy··on How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought You Think (2003)
I've only read two chapters. Seems interesting, although erratic. You can tell the author has a lot of energy. I don't want to read much more, however. Because I've got RSI. I love memory augmentation ideally. But notebooks are a non starter for me. Perhaps I really ought to try memory palaces.
raidicy··on [dead]
There doesn't seem to be any real sources in the article. How can we be sure this isn't simply more misinformation?
