Show HN: Samuel, a Silly Speech Modelhttps://samuel.vvolhejn.com/My original idea was to make a modern supercharged version of SAM, the old-school text-to-speech. Then I remembered Pink Trombone, one of my favorite creative coding projects. In the end, I decided to just make it a model that mimics speech - it would be easy to make a text-to-speech by chaining an existing TTS with a Samuel filter.The phonetics work quite well for vowels - you can try making a sound and then seeing if the predicted tongue prediction matches where your tongue was. It's less accurate for consonants; it doesn't do plosives or nasals (I tried).How the machine learning works:It's a speech autoencoder in which the decoder is Pink Trombone. A couple of issues: PT is not differentiable, so I use Gumbel softmax to get a differentiable approximation. PT also generates audio sample-by-sample (apparently it's called a "Kelly-Lochbaum vocal tract model"), which would make training extremely slow. To do that, I approximate it using FIR filters that change each 10ms. The fundamental

Show HN: Reproof – A non-linear writing app for perfectionistshttps://reproof.appHey HN! I've written more words on the internet than I could count, for everyone from Zapier to Wirecutter. And for years it's bugged me that nearly every writing app still treats the writing surface as a linear sheet of paper, with paragraphs one after another and no space for experimentation.And so I and a friend build Reproof.app as what I've taken to calling a writing app for perfectionists.It's built around paragraph versions. You can add new versions to any paragraphs and swap between them to see how the different takes read in context. You can cut a paragraph as a clipping to save it for later. It’s a writing app that lets you experiment without losing any of your ideas along the way.It took four complete rewrites before we finally found an approach that worked well (don’t reinvent the text editor, they say, yet we tried, and even with Tiptap it still was harder than it should have been). But it’s here. You can write and rewrite to your heart’s content in Reproof today, with wri
