If you are proving your site's worth, you could just use do analytics on anonymized server logs rather than relying on this technique to get GA to work.

Librivox is commonly used as a training corpus however it's main weakness is that reading speech differs quite a lot from conversational speech.

lingz | 7 years ago | on: Lehigh research team to investigate a “Google for research data”
There are already several established organizations that hold and manage billing for data sets within specific domains. An example is the LDC (https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/) which hosts huge amounts of natural language + voice data in many languages, submitted by universities around the world.
Personally, I think there is a big downside to attaching it to billing. The process is quite difficult to obtain (financially and logistically), especially if you are outside a university. Even within a university, procuring data could take months of bureaucracy. Also as an independent student or developer, this data becomes largely inaccessible.

I disagree, Typescript has algebraic data types, conditional types, type inference, type guards, many or all of which are missing in Java. The class syntax is just another optional feature and it is possible to write quite functional / ocaml like code in typescript.

Yeah VSCode for Vim feels like they are slowly trying to implement a subset for VSCode. This kind of iterative approach doesn't strike me as a way to build something that will finally "feel right", and overcome these limitations. Perhaps some remote vim running actual nvim code with a minimal API bridge into VSCode is more appropriate?

On one hand it's nice to see the valley: 'let's solve this' attitude. On the other hand, it's common to see them blinded by hubris, resulting in problem solving approaches divorced from reality.

Seems like the challenge of applying AR is more in smart design than advanced ML.
