@Tamasg Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you still find the project worthwhile.

@Tamasg It's still worthwhile to implement a synthesizer that runs with the same efficiency that Eloquence had. There are some appliances, medical devices, etc. that implement a GUI on a microcontroller. If sighted people can have a UI on a device with limited computing power, then we should be able to have a speech interface on that same class of device. That's why I don't like the idea of giving up on formant TTS and resigning ourselves to neural TTS being *the* future.

@pandoc The resulting PDF is even tagged for accessibility. Great work!

Setting up my new phone. Back to Android after almost four years on iOS, now with a Pixel 10 Pro.

Sean Goedecke wrote a thoughtful analysis of the recent Anthropic paper on AI and coding skill formation that has been going around: https://www.seangoedecke.com/how-does-ai-impact-skill-formation/

@Tamasg Honestly, what I think might be more interesting would be to ask an agent to port the core to safe Rust. Then that would probably be automatically pretty portable.
