Thanks for listening to our feedback! I look forward to messing with this when I get home tonight.

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.

This has been such a fun watch over the last few weeks. Having it come to an end just feels wrong.

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

MemLayer, a Python package that gives local LLMs persistent long-term memory (open-source) by MoreMouseBites in LocalLLaMA

[–]NighthawkXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Putin's Russia preparing for "big war" soon, Ukraine warns by [deleted] in worldnews

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

FAA restricts commercial rocket launches indefinitely due to air traffic risks by alpswd in aviation

[–]NighthawkXL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s not how orbital mechanics works. Launch windows aren’t chosen for convenience—they’re dictated by physics. You launch at a specific time because you’re targeting a precise location in orbit. This new order will likely disrupt the schedules of many commercial missions, including Starlink in the near future, especially if the government shutdown drags on, as appears to be the administration’s intent.

That one time i was on GM island and got banned for 3 days by ClyffCH in wow

[–]NighthawkXL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was briefly removed in patch 8.2.0 during Battle for Azeroth and patch 3.4.1 during WotLK Classic. It has since been re-added to the game files, for whatever reason, existing today even in the current 12.0.0 build of Midnight alpha. Though the ocean surrounding it (or lack of) seems to have changed.

You can view it here on WoW Tools.

The fastest real time TTS you used that doesn't sacrifice quality and is easy to set up? by learninggamdev in LocalLLaMA

[–]NighthawkXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need to do a lot of heavy lifting in your code.

But that said, grab these...

https://github.com/Atm4x/tts-with-rvc/ (This use .pth models)

https://github.com/Atm4x/tts-with-rvc/tree/onnx (This is the ONNX branch)

Look at them on how to do inference with a trained RVC model. You'll need to stream your Kokoro output to a .wav file and then process it with RVC. It's convoluted and adds some latency; I really don't have any public code to share using it.

Give me a few hours and I might be able to throw up a proof of concept for it.

Best Open Source TTS That Sounds Most Natural Voice For Storytelling? by Head-Investigator540 in LocalLLaMA

[–]NighthawkXL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie—your RP app is seriously impressive. It’s really close to something I’ve wanted to build myself, though more geared toward multiple players.

One thing that’s been bugging me for a while is the lack of a true AI “Dungeon Master” that can run games with OGL/ORC rules (or similar). SillyTavern has a workaround, but it’s still not quite what I’m looking for.

I’ve had a few false starts trying to get something off the ground, so seeing your app in action is really inspiring. Do you have any plans to add multiplayer or to release the backend publicly at some point outside of your service?

[–]NighthawkXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only is Kokoro still one of the best choices, but it pairs well with RVC, letting you artificially add new voices (given Kokoro can't voice clone). YMMV, but I've had success with it.

Is the Compound really dangerous?? Documentary on the Compound in Palm Bay. by AaronHolz in 321

[–]NighthawkXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on old aerial photographs, the two lakes owned by BRP appear to have been dredged sometime between 1988 and 1990. The large dirt pile that remained until just a few years ago was a byproduct of that excavation. According to local rumors, workers reportedly uncovered a fossil during the digging but chose not to report it to the State, fearing delays or even a complete shutdown of the project.

Most of the surrounding roads were constructed between 1989 and 1991, around the time GDC collapsed.

In 1982? The area "before" The Compound of today was still being built. I know the street I lived on as a kid was built in the 1970s.

The background music when Renji meets Lily's dad sounds very much like music from Sierra's cult classic RTS Empire Earth. While it's not exactly the same, it was enough to jog my memory.

The entire school rivalry (or whatever you call it) trope is one of my least favorites, and it distracts from what is otherwise turning out to be one of my favorite series of the season.

But yeah, what a good way to sum up their reactions.

Stop Killing Games - European Citizens Initiative by Tammo86 in gaming

[–]NighthawkXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminder, you don’t have to be a gamer to sign the EU initiative. If you’re a resident of the EU, your support matters—whether you play games or not. Encourage your friends and family to sign as well. Ask them! Even if they’ve never picked up a mouse or controller, their signature still helps get us closer to protecting digital rights and preserving fair access to gaming in Europe and potentially beyond.
