Ask HN: A way to adblock “we're using cookies” popups? 526 by rayalez | 236 comments on Hacker News. Whatever the intent of the GDPR was, the practical result is that now I have to click away the annoying "we're using cookies" popup on every website. Is there any way to do this automatically? If there isn't - there should be. Maybe people should use some special tag for them, so that it would be easy for users to block them on all the websites, if they want to.

Ask HN: My wife might lose the ability to speak in 3 weeks – how to prepare? 652 by tech4all | 182 comments on Hacker News. My wife will be undergoing significant oral surgery in a few weeks and there is a SMALL chance she may lose the ability to speak. I'd like to prepare, just in case, to have technology to reproduce her voice from keyboard or other input. My ideal would be an open source "deepfake toolkit" that allows me to provide pre-recorded samples of her speech and then TTS in her voice. Unfortunately most articles and tools I'm finding are anti-deepfake. Any recommendations? Fallback would be recording her speaking "phonetic pangrams" and then using her pre-recorded phonemes to recreate speech that sounds like her. I feel like the deepfake toolkit is the way to go. Appreciate any recommendations... There must be open source tools for this??
