Strong Beliefs Meet Modern Design The work on Mount Media’s website is a key piece of their broader rebranding journey. Alongside other brand elements, we refreshed its all-the-way “target” sign, visually capturing the company’s mission—understanding the goal and the path to reach it. That sign, which we’ve reimagined in 3D, became a central style feature and an intriguing technical challenge. We aimed to align the company’s identity with its visual presence—serious, modern, and laser-focused on results. Our crafted style perfectly conveys this ethos, featuring intricate gradients, straightforward typography, and 3D elements. Mount Media believes that every process should be streamlined—nothing…

A significant challenge in text-to-speech (TTS) systems is the computational inefficiency of the Monotonic Alignment Search (MAS) algorithm, which is responsible for estimating alignments between text and speech sequences. MAS faces high time complexity, particularly when dealing with large inputs. The complexity is O(T×S), where T is the text length and S is the speech representation length. As the input size increases, the computational burden becomes unmanageable, especially when the algorithm is executed sequentially without leveraging parallel processing. This inefficiency hinders its applicability in real-time and large-scale applications in TTS models. Therefore, addressing this issue is crucial for improving the…
Data access: Copilot for Microsoft 365’s main problem Many of the potentially serious security issues with Copilot start with what kind of access the genAI tool is given to corporate data, and how that access can be misused by hackers, or even by people within a company. Ivan Fioravanti, co-founder and CTO for CoreView, which focuses on Microsoft 365 management configuration and security, notes in a blog post that when a company installs Copilot for Microsoft 365, it gets the same permissions model for data access already in place for Microsoft 365. That model, he says, is designed to ensure “only authorized users…
