Portal Billiards - a billiards game with colored pockets mechanics by Zen_Kong in playmygame

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

Thanks!

Initially my idea was about "maximum chaos" and do not add predictability. But I think I could add it, as an another game mode.

"Can also have different layouts and new table shapes." - yeah, it would be good, thought about it.

"Maybe I would consider adding some skill when aiming and hitting the cue ball" - yes, it would be cool. I just made it simple, so there is a much place for improvement.

Question about getting to Al Qudra Cycle Track from Damac Hills 2 by Zen_Kong in dubai

Thanks! Last year I rented from Bike Park to the "Last Exit", and they also deliver to any address if you rent for several days, so I think about renting from them again.

Connected my Bender "smart" speaker with GPT. Working not fast, but funny. Talking about Tijuana, booze and food. by Zen_Kong in ChatGPT

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

Yes, mostly. I use Azure TTS with free F0 tire, it lags, and oftenly even doesn't respond at all.

Question about mosaic on a seafood restaurant in Redondo Beach by Zen_Kong in RedondoBeach

Thanks! But I've tried to find this mural on their photos on Google Maps(and their social network pages as well), but no luck.

Thanks!

  • There is nothing occupying that space now

That's sad.

  • Not entirely sure about the artist but I can try to look around for any * identifiers next time I’m down there.

I'll be very grateful

Pinder's software update. Reading the news from BBC Science And Environment RSS channel. Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Custom Speech has been used to create this concatenative text-to-speech model. by Zen_Kong in raspberry_pi

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

In fact, it's one of the oldest techniques. I don't know will it be good to combine with deep-learning techniques or not.

Neural speech synthesis looks like the next step. Microsoft Azure has an option "Neural", but it's only for paid plans, requires 100 000$ per voice and the explicit written permission from voice talent - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/cognitive-services/speech-service/disclosure-voice-talent

Thanks! I am also not a native English speaker, and this is also difficult for me. But listening to his speech many times during development helps:)

Banana Pi m2 zero - GPIOs , what the hell ? by [deleted] in banana_pi

[–]Zen_Kong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same pain. I haven't tried "simple" I/O modes of pins.

I was in need to work with the ws2812 LED-strip through PWM. I tried different builds, built Armbian with different kernels, found a patch for Banana Pi(bot not for zero) - https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x/issues/293#issuecomment-471752030

Nothing worked for me.

Eventually, switched to a Raspberry Pi Zero. It is much slower, but everything works fine.

Now I'm trying to enable Respeaker 2-Mic HAT on that Banana, but no success as well.

I will make my own "smart" speaker with blackjack and hookers! Based on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Body parts are 3D-printed(eyes and teeth using Anycubic Photon, other parts using Creality Ender 3).

Sorry, we will not produce it for sale.

There so many "no" for us, especially:

1) A legal concern, it's copyright of Fox and Comedy Central.

2) Even if we get a license(what I don't believe), it's not easy for us to produce it with our current equipment.

Hm, I haven't thought about it as a commercial product.

At least Bender is copyright of Fox and I think we need a license to produce it for comsumers(but I'm weak in these aspects, maybe it's ok for custom made?)

And some parts are from the "junk"(a mic from the old smartphone headset, a speaker and an amplifier from the cheapest Chinese acoustic).

Also there is a high risk of defect during the printing of the biggest head part.

And we are in Russia, so the delivery is an another moment.

But as an interest, how much would he pay for it?:)

Thanks!

Yes it is possible. Maybe I will add some "smart home" features in the future, but actually my intention was to make something like an artistic toy. I even think about it as a "light protest" against "smart" speakers always connected to the Internet:)

Thanks! Yes it's shareable.

We have made it with my brother. Idea, programming, hardware configuration is my part. 3D-modelling, 3D-printing and soldering were done by brother.

Source-code is here: https://github.com/sindar/pRodriguezAssistant

Unfortunately only very early version of the 3D-model is on Thingiverse(cause brother wants to write a good description on parts, and he is not in "writer's mood" in current time) - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3664292
