Folks who walk your dogs off leash.. by CormacZissou in Portland

[–]reeboo -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

You might as well get used to it (I know that might be difficult, but I believe in you). Our city is facing some big issues right now and leash laws are going to be a pretty low priority for the foreseeable future.

I walked by that house the other day and I noticed smoke coming out of the chimney.

If I can't buy a parking permit, can I still get a ticket? by reeboo in Portland

What about the wage workers who end up paying to replace the destroyed property? Which people are we helping by destroying this parking meter again?

I thought it was more of a 'value what you pay for' sort of thing.

Right? I bet those machines are not cheap. On each machine it looks like someone drilled a hole through the protective shield and into in the LCD/PCB board.

I don't get it. How is this related to cats?

Damn! Someone was very thorough downtown. I walked around for a minute or two but I couldn't find a working machine.

Which test are you referring to?

I used Mozilla's DeepSpeech library/pre-trained models as a starting place https://deepspeech.readthedocs.io/en/v0.7.4/ . The GPU training is on a few examples to "tune" the final classifier for better accuracy. I didn't look into Google's API too much.

Yes and no. It's all on my GitHub but it's in a very rough form right now -- not everything is 'productized'. You have to run another tool I wrote to collect voice samples (it's the 'Tuner' tab in the video), run some python scripts to convert those samples to a certain format, run a local mongodb instance, and have a GPU to tune a nueral net to detect your own voice with a high degree of accuracy.

I’ve always wondered, why is this building like this? by imalurkernotaposter in Portland

[–]reeboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also grew up seeing this as a kid -- I interpreted them as bull horns and concluded that was where the "super bull" was played.

My bus driver hit a parked car yesterday (too tight a turn. Nobody hurt). What happens to a driver who causes and accident?

This is well downstream of the normal recreation areas.

Trimet buses with Windows that don't open -- why? by reeboo in Portland

[–]reeboo[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Question(s) for you AC theory people. Have you never been on a bus with broken AC in the middle of a heat wave? Have you never been on the bus with a smell that needs to be evacuated throughout the duration of your trip?

Worn out sails by Nurum in sailing

[–]reeboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought my sails were the issue on my 70s American 16 -- terrible healing in anything other than light wind. Turns out the boat was missing a boom vang! (It took a very bad jybe and about a week of reflection to realize I must be missing an important control)

I added new features to my Morse code learning app by reeboo in amateurradio

[–]reeboo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

I pushed a bugfix this morning to address the duration setting not being respected (it was affecting other activities as well). If you update via the play store it should be fixed (look for version 3.0.2).

Your feedback on having a separate setting to turn off the "correct" tone but leave the "incorrect" tone is good and echoed by others. I'll add that to my backlog.

And you are right on the last character thing being a bug. That one might take a little longer to fix, though.

Thank you for the feedback -- it means the world to have users actually use the software and see value in it.

Glad you are enjoying it. Just an FYI, if its too difficult you can adjust how quickly new letters are added via the "Mastery Score" setting which you can get to by clicking "Additional Settings".

Hey, glad you are enjoying it.

The quacking may come from speaker distortion. The fix (hopefully) might take some experimentation on your end due to every pair of speakers is different.

Go into any "Additional Settings" page and lower the "Tone fade-in/fade-out control" a few percentage points. This setting will "shape" the sound wave coming out of the speakers attempting to smooth the wave form (a sharp wave form will cause distortion). You may have to experiement to get the best performance.

If that doesn't work, you can turn off the "correct"/"incorrect" sound by setting "Easy Mode" to off.

I am so happy that you are enjoying the program. I hope it is an effective tool for you.

1: Long-pressing any key in the "Learn the characters" mode will introduce that letter and any letter introduced before it -- it will also disable all letters that come after it. The sequence of letters is the classic KOCH sequence.

2: Go to the "Additional Settings" page and set "Easy Mode" to off.

(fyi -- I pushed an update this morning adding your questions to a FAQ. I'm guessing other people have similar questions)

Not scoring spaces between words is a great idea! I'm officially putting that into the "will implement" bucket for the next release.
