The Great Firewall of Russia ... Works the same as European Fuel Sanctions? Very decent factual analysis for a foreigner: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk329evDDqo 📣 Please note that this is a pro-western YouTube channel (albeit quite impartial, maybe due to it being heavily Asian influenced?) . What I like even more - upvoted pro-Russian comments are shown at the bottom =) Because freedom of speech. 🔇 💸 What baffles me - the actually working sanctions (at the moment) ... 🤷 are working most potently against Europeans and pro-western CIS people (not corporations, though oligarchs took a hit personally). 💩 The real shit part as usual - are semi-conductors and most crucial web services (or lack thereof in Russia). 🚨 Also what is notable (for people outside of Russia) despite the golden share and the state control of Yandex ... the behavior of their employees ... sometimes borders on treason, not kidding or exaggerating here. 🪑🪑But Yandex is universally hated for their "special snowflake" culture and their desire to have their cake and eat it too. -

#новости Результаты проверок счётной палатой МГУ и СПбГУ. Много довольно интересных цифр, причём не только по этим вузам (там есть НИОКРы ведущих вузов, в доп. документах рейтинги российских суперкомпьютеров и т.п. ) https://ach.gov.ru/checks/razvitiye-mgu-i-spbgu -

Hashing Trick for Word Embeddings Explained https://explosion.ai/blog/bloom-embeddings Looks very interesting, if you need a further 10x embedding layer size reduction for some reason. -

📌 Support Silero Models Open Collective If you have insufficient resources to support us commercially, you can contribute to Silero Models via Open Collective as an individual: In 95% of cases we rely on self-hosted services and / or in-house compute, but some popular services with decent community have no proper alternatives. By supporting us, you also support the next international no strings attached release of TTS models. -

Locked-Image Tuning: Adding Language Understanding to Image Models Most interesting work is often neglected in favour of edgy huge compute backed bullshit (often generative and cherry-picked). I really like this series of posts on REAL zero shot image / text classifiers. ai.googleblog.com/2022/04…age.html What I like here - sometimes freezing some model parts reduces compute significantly and improves performance ... as opposed to a general mantra of taking 1000 GPUs and training end-to-end. -

Is Ray Tracing Worth It? So we had some spare deep learning Ampere GPU laying around and I tested some games with ray tracing / RTX. The short answer is ... NO. The long answer - it depends. Let me explain. I played the following list of titles with ray tracing: "New" - Metro Exodus (yeah, I know about GSC Game World controversy) - just the intro. Ray tracing glitched and did not add much, except for water reflections; - Control. Some scenes were jaw-dropping with ray tracing, but it actually really influenced gameplay only during a handful of situations. The game looks fine without ray tracing; "Old" - Ultimate DOOM (yes, the og 1995 game, yes really), PrBOOM+ with ray tracing. The whole game, but skipped shit levels. The game changes completely, becomes more moody and dark. The game kind of EMERGES, becomes more atmospheric; - Serious Sam TFE, ray traced. Played first 4 levels, got bored. It is a cool tech demo, but lots of glitches and freezes (I have a weak CPU). Changes the mood of the game, but does not add much, except for very dark places; - Quake II RTX (make sure to have a copy of Quake II when installing to play all levels), full game with RTX. The most impressive one. The only optimized game (it is very funny to hear an Ampere GPU fully loaded when playing ... DOOM lol). Almost all levels are changed, moody, lighting is gorgeous, some effects (like water refraction, thick glass, force fields) are jaw-dropping. Overall - new games do not really benefit from and revolve around ray tracing. The old titles ... become jaw-dropping visually, moodier and more gritty in terms of gameplay. Remember when Half-Life 2 was released, everyone wanted to copy their physics, and almost no one made it a proper mechanic? Almost 20 years later, and physics is ubiquitous in game engines (PhysX was acquired by Nvidia, it was a separate card lol), but kind of pointless and disposable in 95% of games (except for HL franchise, Portal and a handful of titles). Compared to cordless VR multiplayer (and cannot be played at home for obvious reasons), which is on another level of experiences, ray tracing probably will be the same as gaming physics. Very cool, very atmospheric, very moody, but kind of pointless, because building games around it is impossible, risky or not profitable. Better make another shitty COD. Old games with ray tracing are a rare genuine marvel, though. I cannot speak for visual artists. Probably for them rendering light on-the-fly is a godsend. #hardware -

Silero TTS V3 Finally Released We have just released a brand new Russian speech synthesis model. We have made a number of promises we kept: - Model size reduced 2x; - New models are 10x faster (!); - We added flags to control stress; - Now the models can make proper pauses; - High quality voice added (and unlimited "random" voices); - All speakers squeezed into the same model; - Input length limitations lifted, now models can work with paragraphs of text; - Pauses, speed and pitch can be controlled via SSML; - Sampling rates of 8, 24 or 48 kHz are supported; - Models are much more stable — they do not omit words anymore; Next steps: - Release models for the CIS languages, English, some European languages and Hindic languages - Even further 2-4x speed up - Updated stress model - Phonemes support and and built-in voice transfer Links: - GitHub - github.com/snakers…o-models - Colab - colab.research.google.com/github/…ts.ipynb - Russian article - https://habr.com/ru/post/660565/ - English article - https://habr.com/ru/post/660571/ -

Как платить карточкой резиденту РФ - маленький update Только свой опыт, без фантазий и сказок: - telegra.ph/Sposoby…20-03-20 Добавления и обновления статьи: - У Dukascopy провайдер пластика ... отозвал пластик без предупреждения. Но клиентов они не кинули и странные телеги не начали. Аналогичные банки скорее всего под таким же риском - пробуйте пишите, какой реально работает. Обещали отписать, что будет дальше, но пока предсказуемо молчание; - Пробовали несколько "не-банкинг" сервисов (например Wise), имея реальные адреса людей, везде рано или поздно включается тупо бан по гражданству, далеко не всегда в начале регистрации, иногда при KYC; - Попробовал сервисы с крипто-картами (Bankoff и второй какой-то), везде дошел до шага создания виртуалки, но пополнять не стал (т.к. у меня нет крипты). Потом видел новости и опровержения, что они как и все такие стартапы взяли бабки и убежали, но верификацией не занимался - уточняйте; - Читал про работающий хак с выставлением счета через QIWI кошелек (для Aliexpress). Фишка - тут это должен поддерживать сам мерчант. Сам попробовал для оплаты хостинга через посредника, счет пришел, но оплачивать не стал, сделал выбор в пользу отечественного провайдера ☭ (но конечно же нет, я посмотрел, им владеют олигархи, но хотя бы не Яндекс и ладно); - В статье выше есть провайдеры VDS принимающие русские карты; - Vultr принимает UnionPay, но мейджоры так и не завезли его. Да что тут, даже в Сбере и Тиньке мамкины юзабилисты (про Сбер я могу понять, они просто медленные, но Тиньк может и правда настоящие "патриоты" судя по их поведению) открытие виртуалки МИР сделали квестом. В Сбере - надо найти лендос, в Тиньке работает только из приложения, о чем надо догадаться. Несмотря на волну то ли хейта после обновления (то ли фермы "непартнеров") - МИР Pay просто работает без танцев с бубном; - OpenCollective предоставляет виртуалки для оплаты сервисов (надо отчитываться за расходы и указывать лимит) ... которые принимает Github и Google почта (ну то есть виртуалки она принимает ... просто некоторые виртуалки "равнее" других). Минус - нужен собственно раскачанный OpenCollective минимум с каким-то балансом и минимум 2 админами. Но сделать FOSS проект, который бы приносил хотя бы 10 баксов донатов в месяц - на самом деле большой hurdle; - С Арменией - вроде уже закрыли переводы в рублях и вводят препоны и комиссии за открытие карт. Переводы в валюте в Армению все еще работают. Остальные страны СНГ - пишите в комментариях; - Ну и конечно самый рабочий способ - просто попросить знакомых;
