2 months ago, I was halfway into publishing a series on my TTS project. Today, the site for that project is defunct, and no new posts have been made about it.

What happened?

Let’s say, for some odd reason, you’re hosting a Python service that:

1. takes requests that run large computations based on a randomly generated number (a “seed”)
2. spreads work across multiple workers to handle many requests

Then, it’s likely you’ll introduce a subtle randomness bug that leads to duplicate seeds appearing. Let me explain:

With the raw data in tow, we can construct a proper TTS Dataset with the use of a few Python scripts.
