There is the truth and then there is our perception of it. These are two separate things. There is how a person lived his or her own life; there is how people close to this person think this person lived his or her life. And then there is some writer who…
People who've done great things tend to seem as if they were a race apart. And most biographies only exaggerate this illusion, partly due to the worshipful attitude biographers inevitably sink into, and partly because, knowing how the story ends, they can't help streamlining the plot till it seems like the subject's life was a matter of destiny, the mere unfolding of some innate genius. In fact I suspect if you had the sixteen year old Shakespeare or Einstein in school with you, they'd seem impressive, but not totally unlike your other friends.

Funniest thread I've ever come across 😂 My man fought for 2 years (2023-25) to understand/get clarification on apple's docs 🤧😂

Ever wanted an Amharic TTS model to integrate into the apps you're building? If so, you know the struggle because there aren’t many. When I built my voice assistant, I could only find one: Microsoft’s. It does the job, but it’s subpar 😅
That’s no longer the case. I went down the rabbit hole and found some open-source models Meta trained a while back. So far, I’ve found text-to-speech models for Amharic, Tigrinya, and Afaan Oromo, and I’ve been converting them to a format that runs easily across multiple platforms (mobile and desktop).
I think that earns me the right to give the project a new name lol. So let me know what you’d like it to be called 🙃

I've only tested the Amharic one and it only has a male voice; I'm guessing that's the case for other languages too.
Let’s say I use some online service that I authenticate with using Fayda.
Now I’m trying to get a service at a bank. I give them my FAN, and they ask me to tell them the OTP I receive. From my standpoint, how would I know the bank teller isn’t trying to log in to that online service instead? 🤔
I know it’s unlikely, but it’s still very possible. This could be exploited as more services here start using Fayda for authentication.
