Can you train a state of the art text-to-speech (TTS) model with little resources? It seems you can! I've used Google's free TPU research credit to train a Dutch version of "Dia" called Parkiet, a natural conversation speech model and the quality is on-par with ElevenLabs.

Any idea how to get a hold of Google's free Research TPU credits? I get these assigned for 30 days but there is either no capacity or the accelerator is not available at all #ml

Three other people have now surpassed me in all-time XP earned on my own language learning app! Great milestone. #buildinpublic #languagelearning

Got my first sale for Fluentsubs! Key things to make it happen: - Shipped an awesome feature for beginner learners - Made some exercises public to check out w/o an account - Locked a lot of the features behind a "Pro" paywall and made it clear what the benefits are #buildinpublic

In a major upgrade to Fluentsubs I've added "cloze" for subtitles. Based on the accuracy of the transcript and the word length, random gaps are created as a listening exercise to the user to bridge the gap between reading/listening skills in a language. #buildinpublic #langsky

Fluentsubs just got smarter! ๐Ÿš€ Now you can pick only the part that you need for your deckโ€”perfect for short spaced repetition cards. Check it out! ๐Ÿ“šโœจ #LanguageLearning #buildinpublic

Foundation models are overhyped. SAM2 was hard to fine-tune and we got some great results after tweaking the training process a lot. Decided to give YOLO11 another try (even after the crypto miner debacle) and it seems to be on par with SAM2 in terms of quality and much much faster!

Had some nice feedback from the first users and implemented the playlist feature, and added some basic channels so beginner language learners are not completely overwhelmed. The videos are pre-transcribed so that they can be watched immediately! #langsky #japanese #buildinpublic

Finished a complete overhaul of the spaced repetition implementation for my language learning app. Text input and hints are now available when rehearsing flashcards. Still buggy on mobile ๐Ÿคž #buildinpublic

Streaks are now generally available. Also fixed some problems with the design. Next up is a complete revamp of the reward system to better analyse and track learning progress. #buildinpublic #langsky

The language practice chatbot still need some tuning to not sound like a manipulative stalker ๐Ÿ˜…. Not really the cozy vibe I'm trying to create for a language learning app. #ai

It took me 2 hours to implement a cool feature. It took me 6 hours to fix all responsiveness issues due to different behaviour for all combinations of iOS, Android, Safari and Chrome. Any tips? Or should I "just" create a native app. #buildinpublic #webdev

It is now possible in Fluentsubs to automatically add words from your own video content to your collections based on your language learning level! #buildinpublic #langsky

How not to drop your production PostgreSQL database right before the weekend. Add this to your ~/.psqlrc: SET default_transaction_read_only = true; \set confirm 1 \set AUTOCOMMIT off \set ON_ERROR_STOP on It is a read-only connection by default, that executes commands in transactions instead.

And then in my bash profile: function set_prod { echo -e "\033]1337;SetProfile=Production\a" } function set_dev { echo -e "\033]1337;SetProfile=Default\a" } function connect_prod { set_prod psql service=prod set_dev }

Finally cracked the code to squeeze everything out of SAM2 for #robotics #ml and #vision . Fixed occluded objects in my dataset to reach new highs.

The most frustrating thing about moving to France has been the AZERTY keyboards, where backticks, slashes, and quotes have been removed or replaced in favor of accents. Encroyable

We've been using SAM2 in our #robotics #vision pipeline for a while to monitor wire alignment. Out-of-the-box it already performs really well on bespoke data, but fine-tuning the network gives exceptional results! This allows us to have MUCH better segmentations and LARGE speed improvements.

The original image - The original network - The fine-tuned network. One-shot prompts allow us to increase inference speed while keeping the segmentations crisp

In 7 days I have more followers on ๐Ÿฆ‹ than on X. I'll try to post regularly about #robotics #ml #tech #languagelearning and #saas !

You can now also hide the original word to practice your listening skills in fluentsubs! I'm thinking about making a share option so that other people can practice with your language pack #buildinginpublic #langsky

I've increased the free credits to 100 for fluentsubs. I've also increased my DeepL quota. Hopefully I won't reach it too fast with just a handful of users ๐Ÿคž. #ml #ai #langsky #languagelearning

I was tired of not understanding French news despite living in the country. So I created a #languagelearning app that provides excellent subtitles and an assistant on the side for follow-up questions. Free for now, until I figure out if there is a need for this! #langsky Register at fluentsubs.com
