貓叫聲的 Dataset

Hacker News Daily 上看到「CatMeows: A Publicly-Available Dataset of Cat Vocalizations」這個,貓叫聲的 dataset... 對應的討論在「CatMeows: A Publicly-Available Dataset of Cat Vocalizations (2020) (zenodo.org)」這邊。

包括了三種聲音 XDDD

  1. Brushing - Cats were brushed by their owners in their home environment for a maximum of 5 minutes;
  2. Isolation in an unfamiliar environment - Cats were transferred by their owners into an unfamiliar environment (e.g., a room in a different apartment or an office). Distance was minimized and the usual transportation routine was adopted so as to avoid discomfort to animals. The journey lasted less than 30 minutes and cats were allowed 30 minutes with their owners to recover from transportation, before being isolated in the unfamiliar environment, where they stayed alone for maximum 5 minutes;
  3. Waiting for food - The owner started the routine operations that preceded food delivery in the usual environment the cat was familiar with. Food was given at most 5 minutes after the beginning of the experiment.

嚕貓,焦慮與等待餵食?好像是可以想到這組 dataset 的用途...

Android 上透過 DAC (i.e. 耳機或是喇叭) 再做 ADC (i.e. 麥克風) 的傳輸

看到「Quiet for Android - TCP over sound」這個給 Android 用的專案,就是以前的撥接數據機嘛... 在直接拉線對連時連速度都還蠻像的:

Quiet's provided audible mode transfers at approximately 7kbps. In cases where two devices are connected over a cable (via 3.5mm jack) it can run in cable mode, which transfers at approximately 64kbps.

拿來做一些 (邪惡的) 事情?

新版的 Google Chrome 將會在 Tab 上 Icon 標示發出聲音...

開了一堆頁面,卻找不到放音樂的 tab 是哪個?在新版的 Google Chrome 裡會將正在放音樂的 tab 用動畫標示在 tab 上的 icon:「Chrome Shows Which Tab Is Making a Noise」,像是這樣的提示:

目前在 Canary channel 裡才有,等個幾個月就會在正式版本出現了... (canary -> dev -> beta -> stable)

Ubuntu 11.04 最近一次 kernel 升級後沒聲音...

桌機還在用 Ubuntu 11.04,剛剛 apt-get 升級後沒聲音了 (有注意到 kernel 有更新),後來是用「Ubuntu 11.04 - No sound at all」這篇的方法解決:

rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* ~/.pulse-cookie 
sudo rm /etc/asound.conf

重開機後就有聲音了...
