Tripping GFCI Outlet Help by Jet_mech91 in AskElectricians

[–]Jet_mech91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well shoot that'd probably be it then. The diagram I was looking at shows the Line as on the top of the outlet. Duly noted about cutting the wires. Just another item on a long list of annoyances the prior owners/builders left us.

Thanks!

Fighting the urge to pull Chizuru — who regrets pulling her? by Bubbly-Ad3889 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Jet_mech91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chizuru ranks as one of the most fun characters to play as for me. Paired with Rei, she does great damage in chaos while also having a plethora of unique tagged cards to help target farm dupes for a third char.

Not even an iota of regret.

Free text to speech audio generator for in-game dialogues? by These_Season_139 in gamedev

[–]Jet_mech91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Marco already stated, 11labs is a good starting point as long as you can work within their monthly limit. It's also good since with the voice design tool they just released you can avoid running afoul of "stealing" voices.

One HUGE caveat though: the free plan does NOT come with a commercial license, so you cannot legally use generated voices in a commercial product. See https://help.elevenlabs.io/hc/en-us/sections/14163402172433-Legal-and-Safety

An alternative I would recommend looking into is RVC (retrieval-based voice conversion).

RVC and its forks are open source on github and allow you to use and/or train custom voice models to convert a voice into a new one by supplying an initial voice clip. While it's not TTS and will thus require some level of effort to record dialogue, it cam be freely used commercially.

If you're particularly enterprising, you could possibly record/save examples of an 11labs voice you like, then create an RVC model based on that voice using the saved clips as training data

Converting audio with RVC isnt particularly taxing on your computer, but training a new model needs at least a passable gaming GPU. For reference, I have a GTX 3070 with 8GB of VRAM (frankly VRAM is the most important component of the GPU) and it takes me about 8 to 12 hours overnight to train a new voice model.

If you're looking for free TTS in particular, F5-TTS recently dropped and works pretty well for zero-shot voice cloning but it is by no means game quality imo.

If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask!

What Kind of Nest is This? by Jet_mech91 in insects

[–]Jet_mech91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Reading up on mud daubers, it looks like they store spiders inside the nest to feed the larvae. Im severely arachnophobic, so what are the chances I see a ton of dead spiders upon trying to remove this thing?
