my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!
I only make serious software

Massive Russian attacks against Ukraine. Exclusively civilian targets and infrastructure were attacked—something Russia will, as always, deny. The ceiling at the Lukyanivska metro station has collapsed; those seeking shelter can barely breathe. The market in Lukyanivka is on fire as a result of the Russian attack. In Poland, air defenses have been placed on high alert, and NATO fighter jets have scrambled—not to help, but merely to take a few photos for the family album. Death, destruction, suffering. For over four years, Europe has done nothing but watch.

Gonna start selling some single panel originals. This one ran in my local paper. $100. If there's a single panel, and you want it, drop a line and I can redraw it (prices vary). etsy.com/listing/1571461230/…

I have some big news! The technology and IP behind ngSkinTools have been acquired by Autodesk and their team is planning for native Maya integration for the future. While it’s a bit early for further details, I’m excited to share this update: ngskintools.com/about/

My #music goal this year is to learn all of the Vivaldi cello concerto, thanks to the #fourdayworkweek we have @SuperSpline , which allows me to go to a library every Friday to practice, it actually feels possible.

It's depressing that russian strikes on hospitals in Ukraine don't get international coverage anymore
⚡ The number of people injured in the Russian shelling of Kherson has risen to 10, with two people killed, according to the regional military administration. Two medical workers and an 81-year-old patient were injured in a strike on a hospital.

Great interview with @anneapplebaum. @BillKristol: "If the largest land war in Europe since 1945 ends in a victory—for an unbelievably brutal aggressor who seeks to destroy a neighboring nation—I don't know if people fully understand what that would mean." podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR…

On the night of November 23, the Russians attacked Vilnyansk, Zaporizhzhia region. A two-story building of the maternity ward was destroyed. A woman in labor with a newborn baby and a doctor were found under the rubble. The woman and the doctor survived, but the baby died 📹SESU

Without electricity or without them?
Russian war criminals have damaged one third of our energy system by their terrorist strikes. Ukraine’s response? Nationwide effort to save electricity and let our repair teams do their job. So if you’d ask us your famous question again, Mr. President @ZelenskyyUa...

No, Putin was not “provoked” to unleash missile terror by “Crimea Bridge”. Russia had been constantly hitting Ukraine with missiles before the bridge, too. Putin is desperate because of battlefield defeats and uses missile terror to try to change the pace of war in his favor 1/2

Russians mined a dam in Kharkiv region with TNT, anti-tank mines, electric detonators - equivalent of almost 700 kg TNT total. If the dam exploded, all nearby villages would be flooded. Explosion technicians from National Police expertly de-mined it. 📹: National Police

Everywhere Russia has reached, mass graves are later found. Now in Izium. We can’t even grasp the number of people tortured in cities like Kherson, Mariupol and across all occupied regions.

Some of my friends are in ru captivity. Some of them are dead. Some can die serving in the army. Bright, smart people. When I hear that Ukrainians ask too much (weapons, hum.aid, etc.), or that they are "biased" because #Russia invaded our country, I feel completely powerless.
