Just earned enough credits for posting here. This is my very first time learning coding and I didn’t know any relating knowledge at all before entering this course, so I made some silly mistakes when installed Anaconda. Just wanted to write down this bad experience on installing Anaconda, share them with someone like me lacking even very basic skill in this field, and also earn myself some credits on this platform. I should have downloaded the installer for intel chip, but I mistakenly downloaded the one for apple silicon instead. I had tried several times for installing before I found out this mistake, which wasted a lot of time. When I tried to use the intel-chip installer, it said “anaconda3 already exists”, which made me confused again because I didn’t finish the installment at all. Then I had to go to Finder to delete all files named ‘anaconda’. After these problems, I then got a "permission denied" message during the installation process. I searched this problem on google and finally solved it by typing ‘chmod +x’ into terminal. When I looked back into these small silly mistakes, I found that they were not that difficult to be solved; however, they cost me a lot of time, which made me worry about my future learning process in this course. “I may encounter even worse problems and stuck on them”--this negative expectation was really frightening me. But as I left comments on this platform expressing my worries, I then got lots of encouragement from classmates in this course, which made me feel much better. You are all very helpful! Thanks very much for all your kind words and valuable help!

Having unlock the data Science accelerator. It well curated and straight to point learning. thanks dave. can't wait to get other module unlock

The irony is that it was this comment that pushed me over the threshold and into level 6: "I can teach you how to turn your $250 into $6,500 in 2hours without sending money to anyone or interrupting your daily activities and it's 100% legitimate and secure TEXT ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED FOR MORE INFORM WITH THE DETAILS BELOW $$$$." Ah well.. for once it was useful 😂

I'm excited to share that I've just published an in-depth article on Support Vector Machines (SVMs)—a powerful tool in the machine learning arsenal! In this article, I explore the core concepts, from the mathematical foundations to practical implementation strategies. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your understanding, this piece offers valuable insights and hands-on tips for mastering SVMs. Don't miss it—check out the article here!

If you're using ElevenLabs.io's text-to-speech services for your AI projects and paying monthly fees for access, you may want to check out OpenAI Text To Speech | Advanced Voice Engine Technology's free or premium services. The free service offers unlimited text to speech per month for now. The premium service costs $8 per 200,000 non-expiring credits (characters) for High Quality Voice or 100,000 non-expiring characters for HD Quality Voice. For comparison, ElevenLabs charges $22/mo for 140,000 characters/mo that expire after 2 months if not used. ElevenLabs' monthly credits: "Generation on the platform consumes credits with different tools and models consuming different credits. Credit counts reset each billing cycle, and you can roll over up to 2 months' worth of credits at a time." TTS OpenAI has a wide variety of voices available, selectable by gender and age (and accent, I think). After producing the audio file, it's downloadable for both free and premium accounts. You can access the online dashboard for free at https://ttsopenai.com/ or use the OpenAI API for $15 per million characters (not tokens). Only 6 voices are available through the API, however. I'm guessing the online dashboard is where you'll see ads, but I haven't created an account and logged in, so I haven't seen any yet. Free tier: - Create speech from text - Can download audio files - Access to voice library Premium tier: - Create speech from text up to 10 K characters - Retry unlimited times with half price - Use HD voice - Document to speech - Can download audio files - Create my voice - Access to voice library - Create story from text - A few Ads - Up to 200 MB per document 1,000 credits = 1,000 characters with High Quality Voice (500 characters with HD Quality Voice) Check out the videos covering the overview, step-by-step demos, and info on TTS OpenAI on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdDdyu2k20A&list=PL8DoYyQx5K5GRv_4q5zL7rCKsNEtXH8dN
