Neat project. Too bad it only handles English phonemes, as it would be very valuable for teaching other languages. Maybe someday I'll convert it from ARPABET to IPA...

That's one of the reasons I made it open source - you can point your agent to it and adapt it to any other language. You'll need to record the phonemes yourself through, haven't found any AI model that can do it well.

I was thinking this too. Especially if it handles UNICODE character sets.

Yeah, if they actually put their money where their mouth is, we'd see UBI supporters on the mid term ballots.

This is essentially a guess that P probably = NP.

Way more likely is that every existing cryptocurrency implementation contains bugs outside of the core cryptographic algorithm that would allow stealing coins without having to break that encryption. Cybersecurity is an arms race, as it always has been.

a specific hardness assumption is much less general than P=NP, in case you are interested in hardness assumptions and not only P vs NP

I wonder if you can identify the age of devices based just on network scans? Like if an advertiser can tell I've got a washing machine model that was last sold 7 years ago, it's time to spam me with washing machine ads.

Quite probably. nmap does (or certainly used to) have options to report the OS of a given machine had based on various quirks of the packets it got back from them. It was disturbingly accurate at times. You put that together with banner messages from running services, MAC addresses, responses to broadcast packets, deliberate probing, and the number of devices you _can't_ remotely identify on a network without actually logging into them is probably very small.

If you are living in a flat, this could of course be your neighbour's washing machine/TV etc...

If the washing machine is on the network, its manufacturer is already aware about its age.

Its manufacturer's competitor isn't, though, and they're probably really interested in that marketing info.
