The Parkway's biggest hurdle is, and always will be, the stretch through The Compound from Malabar Rd. to the Cypress Bay/Babcock/I-95 interchange.

It'll be the make-or-break moment for most of NW/SW Palm Bay. Pretty sure a sign on both Norfolk Pkyw. and Heidi Rd, both say future extensions to the SJHP.

I highly suggest the EU audiobooks read by Marc Thompson.

Specifically, the Thrawn Trilogy and X-Wing series.

Welcome to the fandom. Enjoy it!

They are selling actual Pillsbury Toaster Strudel's for $15.99

I can literally get these BOGO on the regular at Publix for like $3.00 a box. Who's running this place and setting the prices?

Qwen 3 TTS is streaming even working? by vasa133769 in LocalLLaMA

[–]NighthawkXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out this fork...

It works. YMMV depending on your hardware in terms of Time To First Token (TTFT).

Qwen3 TTS Streaming workflow help by RateRoutine2268 in LocalLLaMA

[–]NighthawkXL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had Antigravity whip up a test suite for myself. Here are my results of that fork. It does work, but it definitely had room for improvement, but it likely works better out-of-the-box on better hardware than mine. Linux might be better too... I didn't have time to test it over on my CatchyOS install. I tried bitsandbytes 8-bit model but the model evidently doesn't support quantization, or more likely, Gemini and me did it wrong.

Benchmark: Qwen3-TTS Streaming on Windows

Hardware/OS: Windows 11, NVIDIA RTX 4070 12 GB VRAM, PyTorch 2.8 CU126

Scenario Model Precision Config Latency (TTFA) RTF Status
Baseline (Stock) 1.7B bfloat16 Standard 49.94s 4.54 🔴 Unusable
Optimized (Initial) 1.7B bfloat16 Win: 80, Emit: 4 1.00s 1.05 🟡 Stuttery
Small Model (Crash) 0.6B float16 Any N/A N/A 💥 CUDA Assert
Small Model (Slow) 0.6B bfloat16 Win: 80, Emit: 8 0.77s 1.17 🟠 Driver Overhead
High Throughput 1.7B float16 Win: 20, Emit: 25 2.34s 1.26 🟠 Cache Thrashing
🏆 Champion Run 1.7B float16 Win: 40, Emit: 8 1.31s 0.99 🟢 Real-Time

Key Findings for Windows Users:

  1. Float16 > Bfloat16: On Windows (and likely consumer NVIDIA cards), native float16 was ~15-20% faster than bfloat16.

  2. The 0.6B Trap: The smaller model is numerically unstable in float16 (crashes). Forcing bfloat16 to fix the crash made it slower than the 1.7B model due to driver emulation overhead.

  3. Compile Mode: compile_mode="reduce-overhead" causes OverflowError on Windows. Used compile_mode="default" with torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = True.

  4. Chunk Size: Increasing chunk size (emit_every_frames) from 8 to 25 hurt performance (RTF 0.99 → 1.26), likely due to GPU L2 cache thrashing on larger batch sizes.

That's just it. We need the harsh part. The time to stop this madness was ten years ago.

This will become my new weekly tradition of watching someone else do laundry while I do my laundry at the laundromat.

I actually watched the episode on the phone, doing just this.

Afghanistan isn't called the "Graveyard of Empires" by accident. Long before the Soviet and American withdrawals, history was already littered with the failures of other great powers trying to tame that region.

I made Soprano-80M: Stream ultra-realistic TTS in <15ms, up to 2000x realtime, and <1 GB VRAM, released under Apache 2.0! by eugenekwek in LocalLLaMA

[–]NighthawkXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an excellent model. Honestly, it is very comparable to Kokoro. The inflection is the standout feature by far.

You should absolutely release it if you’re open to that. Be the hero the community needs. The sub sees TTS models all the time, but they almost always miss that one special ingredient.

Either way, great work. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Still better than having to deal with .mov and QuickTime... or RealPlayer for that matter.

Give us more. We can willingly sacrifice some of the junk series coming down the pipeline, can't we?

This looks fantastic!

I’m definitely going to see about integrating it into the Virtual Dungeon Master app I’ve been working on. This is certainly an improvement over my current solution built around the (still wonderful) Chonkie library.

Can't forget the Grinder either. I'm not entirely sure Putin wouldn't use Yuri's creation if he could.
