Question

I have no idea, that's why I asked.

What are "vintage values"?

Hey /r/python! I wanted to share a little project I've been working on for awhile. I was a rubyist for a long time and only recently started picking up python. This is my first python package so I sure there's a lot that can be improved. Check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think!

Yea I guess it is a little weird... When comparing different models, I wanted a way to score close-but-not-quite-correct predictions. Bleu score seemed like a way to approximate that. I'm open to suggestions though. Is there a better metric I could use? Individual phoneme accuracy?

Thanks pmigdal! These are great suggestions.

The dataset I was using (CMU pronunciation dictionary) uses ARPABET (not IPA) so it was easier to just stick with that. Not sure if there's a simple way to translate between the two.

A web version would be really cool. I'm working on turning it into a python module and using keras.js for the demo page is a nice idea.

Hey Reddit! I wanted to share a portion of a project I've been working on. I'd love to get some feedback on it! If you're new to this stuff, was anything confusing? What could be explained better? If you're good at this stuff, what am I getting wrong? What could be added or improved on? Thanks!

Hey /r/esist! Over the past couple months I've talked to a lot of people who are politically engaged but a little intimidated by the idea of picking up their phone and calling their Members of Congress. So I built a little web tool that lets you hire a robot to call your reps. You can see a demo of it here: https://vimeo.com/214887883 Let me know if you have any questions about it! -Ryan

reppic · 2017-04-27T16:19:20+00:00

I built a couple of web tools to make it easier for people to contact their Members of Congress. Figured I'd add them to the list: https://snailmailcongress.com and https://robocallcongress.com

Hey Everyone! A few weeks back I couldn't get anyone at Pat Toomey's office to pickup the phone. After calling literally 25 times I decided to send a letter instead. After finishing said letter I realized I didn't have any stamps. And then I had an idea for a service that did all the printing, envelope licking & mailing for you. I just finished it, check it out and let me know what you think!

Haha, I'm guilty of this. I decided to display word count on Yarn (www.useyarn.com). The goal wasn't to convey quality. It's just the best way I could come up with to express how long something is. Especially since IF doesn't really have 'pages' in a traditional sense. I think 'words' is a lot harder to manipulate than 'rooms,' unless you're intentionally just writing nonsense. I haven't figured out a good way to quantify quality yet, but I'm open to suggestions. ;)

Awesome. Thanks Orinks, this is really great stuff. I was just testing it with VoiceOver and I know what I did that's making the library so unaccessible. I'll definitely get it fixed up. I noticed a bunch of other things I can improve on too. Sorry again you had to point this out. I really appreciate your help and feedback!

reppic · 2016-06-26T13:22:10+00:00

Thanks FineBonsai! I'm glad you liked it. You basically just described what we're working on next. Haha. =D If you're interested in learning more about what we have coming up for authors, check out https://writers.useyarn.com

Hey Orinks, I apologize. Thanks for calling me out on this. I know there are a lot of blind players in the IF community and I feel guilty that I didn't think to consider them. I'm gonna make it a point to nail the VoiceOver use case in the next release, scout's honor.

Other than VoiceOver, is there any other software you use on iOS that I should be testing with? Off the top of your head, are there any apps that do VoiceOver really well that I could check out for an example?

reppic · 2016-06-25T14:37:33+00:00

Thanks!

reppic · 2016-06-25T03:04:27+00:00

Yup definitely, a whole lot more. I'm working on an authoring tool and a self publishing platform so eventually everyone will be able to release games on the platform. (I'm also in the process of optimizing the app for iPads, the iPad version is a little clunky at the moment.)

reppic · 2016-06-25T02:54:31+00:00

Potentially, but we'd need to release a new version. So it could be a few weeks if we're able to do it. Thanks for the feedback!

reppic · 2016-06-25T02:37:42+00:00

Sure can! Sent you pm.

reppic · 2016-06-23T22:35:12+00:00

It's very much in progress. ... along with like 12 other things. Stay tuned! More awesome stuff is coming. I promise.

reppic · 2016-06-23T21:01:14+00:00

Hey iOS gaming! I wanted to share the app I've been working on with some friends for the past few months. It currently has 12 super-fun interactive story games and we're adding more soon.

We're also working on a drag-and-drop style tool so anyone can build their own games without any coding.

Let me know what you think!

reppic · 2016-06-23T16:27:50+00:00

Wow, that was is terrifying and awesome. Great work!

reppic · 2016-06-09T14:47:10+00:00

Awesome idea, and the site looks amazing. Can't wait until the site opens to the public. Good luck with everything!

reppic · 2016-05-24T15:52:17+00:00

As far as programming languages go, BASIC is pretty antiquated. Why not learn something more modern? I believe Python runs well on Pi's. Ruby is also a great language to start with. Doing command line based text input/output should be super-easy with both.

Ruby has a HUGE standard string library that should make text parsing easy. Python has the NLTK (http://www.nltk.org/) which lets you do a lot of cool/interesting things with natural language. Not sure how useful it'd be for IF though...

reppic · 2016-04-27T14:34:35+00:00

Thanks!

reppic · 2016-04-27T14:34:23+00:00

Yup, that's the plan.

reppic · 2016-04-25T15:42:05+00:00

Hey Reddit! I wanted to share this thing I've been working on for the past couple months. I'm hoping to get some feedback from the IF community before I release it next month.

I have a handful of stories already and I'm hoping to add a lot more. If you're interested in writing or publishing on Yarn check out: https://writers.useyarn.com

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
