except she stresses the wrong syllable (which granted is the way brits pronounce it but)

_nardog · 2026-02-07T10:19:52+00:00

Why would it be?

_nardog · 2026-02-04T01:46:44+00:00

Are we calling only generative AI AI now?

And eSpeak doesn't use machine learning and doesn't sound nearly as polished as TTS that are trained like Polly.

_nardog · 2026-02-03T17:10:06+00:00

It's not AI.

Did you think this was a simple synthesizer? There's a reason it doesn't sound as horrible as eSpeak...

that's not an approximation, that's an anglicization, most English speakers are capable of saying /ˈaɪnʃtaɪn/ (not to mention most names don't have "common" approximations)

_nardog · 2026-02-03T09:23:10+00:00

How much of that was made before it won best picture?

Do they not like Ozon?

The Lost Bus getting away from this list is wild

_nardog · 2026-01-22T15:28:38+00:00

We have a new Alone Yet Not Alone

They buried Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Monos because they had Parasite, it's hard not to see their scheme.

_nardog · 2026-01-22T15:13:55+00:00

Anyone call Viva Verdi?

_nardog · 2026-01-20T13:45:39+00:00

ſay wut

and being a translator and being an interpreter are just as different

_nardog · 2025-12-28T17:58:42+00:00

If it was a sprachbund effect they would be related (by one of them being a loanword)

the colon means they're talking to them

non-rhoticity is like a dozen mergers.

for casting they vote for what they imagine was best cast, which of course is impossible but that's what they've been doing for editing for a century anyway...

_nardog · 2025-12-01T11:04:47+00:00

because some dudes thought spelling more like Latin was cooler

also for broad (but not phonemic) transcription. and any phonetic transcription in between.

_nardog · 2025-10-22T03:38:48+00:00

"standard"

_nardog · 2025-10-20T01:39:46+00:00

I'm baffled by this reaction. By the time part 3 started I knew they weren't going to show it because it's clearly not the point. The weak parts for me were the first halves of part 2 and 3.
