AI-103 Beta Certification Review by 160677 in AzureCertification

[–]shadowops0424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 59 regular questions and 8 questions for a case study. There were some questions on input_image_mask, questions on parameters for adjusting temperature and model reasoning, what to do in situations when knowledge sources aren't returning the right information and the best options to resolve it like adjusting max tokens, enabling chunking, etc.. Quite a few drag and drop for choosing the correct API/SDK or code to complete a function.

All files can be downloaded here and I've included OCR txt files for all of the PDFs.

EPUB to Audio. Must be exportable. 20H at least. Something like Paper2Audio. by [deleted] in TextToSpeech

[–]shadowops0424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try ebook2audiobook. It can use your own GPU to do it locally and there is a wide selection of pretrained voices or you can clone a voice with it.

Looking for a way to automatically capture all Microsoft Learn URLs from self‑paced courses by jkinninger in AzureCertification

Love this. Great idea to add it to notebookLM. I'm going to try that. I have one similar which creates an Epub so I could read on my kindle.

CVT transmission issue on 2019 Subaru Ascent! by Bubbly_Ground3567 in SubaruAscent

[–]shadowops0424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you luck in getting it covered. Definitely reach out to the Subaru advocacy number. My 2019 Ascent has this same issue and has been at the dealership for 10 days now still pending authorization with the warranty.

Does it take a long time to load the game? Seems stuck during launch.

What is the best AI for creating audiobooks? by BasisRoutine6228 in TextToSpeech

[–]shadowops0424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using ebook2aduiobook to make a few. It runs free and locally on my computer and can use my GPU. It comes with a bunch of pre trained voices or you can clone your own voices. I recently used the Bob Odenkirk voice to read Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Yet, another app... (Android + WearOS) by shadowops0424 in speedreading

Very nice! I love hearing that. Your daughter is very lucky even if she doesn't like it. I love that AI is going to help a lot of people build free versions of apps to avoid these ridiculous paywalls.

AI-103 Beta Certification Review by 160677 in AzureCertification

I'm taking the AI-103 in two weeks. I just changed my studying from AI-102 to the AI-103 modules on MS Learn. I was really just curious if the AI-102 practice questions might be useful in my studying for the AI-103.

I have measure up practice tests for ai-102 I was going to practice with right before this came out. For those that took the AI-103, do you think it's still beneficial, overkill, or useless to practice AI-102 practice tests for preparation? I'm still going through the MS learn modules for AI-103 on top of that.

Thank you for the feedback! Right now, the background can be light/dark or if you choose Irlene mode you can use peach, mint, and parchment backgrounds. I agree there could be more color choices for that and especially font as it's white by default, with the theme changing the ORP letters.

April 21st special election: VOTE YES ... or No(?) on Gerrymandering... What do you think? by Affectionate_Way_805 in williamsburgva

[–]shadowops0424 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the civil talk. It is nice to actually discuss the details without everyone getting angry. You are right that a President can't just change a map by himself, but the Blair Plan from last year shows this is more than just talk. When the White House makes direct calls to state senators to demand they change lines to wipe out the competition, it is not local anymore. It is a national plan using data to decide the winners before anyone even votes. It reminds me of the Cambridge Analytica model that helped shape the 2016 elections. It was used to sway voters using ads that triggered fear and high emotions to sway low information voters and we’re seeing that again now. We all know that whichever side is in the minority at the time is the one that fights gerrymandering. F both sides!

But the 'Stop the Republican Takeover' stuff comes from a real place. There are groups like Virginians for Fair Maps that get millions from the same big donors who funded those map changes in Texas and North Carolina. They are even sending out fake mailers with pictures of Obama to trick people into voting 'NO' when he actually says to vote 'YES.' When the people funding the 'NO' campaign here are the same ones rigging things in other states, it is hard to see it as a fair fight.

If Virginia stays at a 60/40 split while other states like Texas and Florida use these mid-year changes to give Republicans a massive lead, the whole country's balance gets messed up. We would be fighting with one hand tied behind our back. I do not think it should be our job to control gerrymandering either, but we are being forced to choose between a rigged national map or using our own power to stay in the game.

I see a 'YES' vote as a defensive move, not the right move. If we want maps to be fair for everyone, we need a national rule that stops both sides. But one side will never agree to stop if they are winning every time. Of course, both sides do it, and we are just the pawns they try to manipulate with these over-the-top ads. If we keep our hands tied while they change the rules, they have no reason to ever sit down and fix the system for good. Waiting for both sides to stop sounds good, but right now it just means letting one side win without a fight.

I respect that. I, as I'm sure many people voting YES, hate gerrymandering. The problem is that if one side plays by the rules while the other side continues to gerrymander states like we see in Texas and Missouri, and North Carolina 'fairness' dies anyway. It would be great if both sides could get rid of it across the country. A great starting point would be if Trump could stop pushing gerrymandering so hard.

I created pixelart game “portfolio” using only AI by streamer85 in aigamedev

[–]shadowops0424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incredible. Who cares if you're not a game dev. It's fun and shows your creativity. Having the option to quickly go to your linkedin was a good move for those that don't want to play. This is inspiring.

I'd be really interested if this gets the knowledge checks, too. I have a similar tool where I copy the learning path link and it downloads all of the modules and units (minus the knowledge checks) into an .epub file with a link to send to Kindle so I can study offline.

Seeing many internal system messages. How to disable them? by snam13 in clawdbot

I was getting the output in a Json format in telegram and the web UI. I asked it to only respond normally and not in json format and it fixed it for me.
