Why not a comparison with whisper.cpp?

What would it take to bring something like this to the US? Is it just not road legal (safety wise) to meet North American standards? I'd pay a 50% (or more) premium to get it here.

I like https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts ; it doesn't do singing, but the voice reproduction is very good and -most importantly- it's open source and you can run it locally.

They collect data, which is what I hate about Windows too. But I doubt they sell it; it would be a pretty dumb thing to do. That's how they're building their "graph" thing that gets mentioned at every conference. The sam

I chucked but then... I worried some Windows PM is reading this and taking it seriously.

I have 3 high-specced trashcans (Mac Pro 2013 with 12/24 cores and 32Gb RAM) that we were using as build agents at work and they were decommissioned after Ventura dropped support. Frankly, they struggle in desktop use with Monterey so

I don't understand why people are so excited to build this big thing on top of Llama, which is closed source, severely license restricted and we now know for a fact that Meta is going after users with the legal hammer. I'm sure if

You're scaring people away from selfhosting with that $15/month. There are plenty of cheaper options, including under-$1/month with a dedicated IPv4 and enough storage for thousands of songs (or hundreds if you're using

I recommend https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ for self-host audiobooks; they have apps for Android and iOS (you need TestFlight for the iOS one though).

EVs are a bad choice for a high-use vehicle like taxis / ubers. You'd need to recharge every 30 - 40 trips; in an ICE, that's 2 minutes at the pump - in an EV that's an hour of time you're not making an income.

I use Navidrome ( https://www.navidrome.org/docs/getting-started/ ). Works great for my needs; on iOS I have the "play:Sub" app but it will work with any Subsonic clients, or just a web browser.

To commute to work, I can take a highway or I can take a series of backroads 4x the distance, with maybe 20% having bike lanes. It would be very dangerous to attempt to bike either route. I'm driving a Leaf EV but would consider a smal

I'd imagine the model already knows about Dune, that's why you were getting usable results. Try with an obscure piece of literature instead.

All of the llama derivatives are tainted by Meta's license, which makes commercial use illegal and even personal use dubious. Is all the training material used for Llama available as open source? Maybe lots of folks can pool their reso

I have a 2016 MBP 15 that is struggling with anything other than browsing. It cost $2800 new (luckily bought by my employer). I also bought an Asus ultrabook in the same year (2016) for under $700 for my wife and it's still going stron

It would be much more useful if you could save / restore checkpoints. And because it gets wiped on every reboot it means you can never test software that needs to restart the machine (to install services and whatnot).

Where are all those people that kept saying Google had an amazing model way beyond ChatGPT internally for years? Those comments always kept coming up in ChatGPT posts; maybe they'll stop now.

That's cool, but Whisper is open source and I can run it today on my machine (even without a GPU) - it gives great results even compiled to WebAssembly and running in the browser with smaller models. Totally free. This needs to be much

The results are pretty good; I wish they'd just publish the models so we can run the inference locally (not too many people have access to 8xA100 to train themselves, though I appreciate including the training data and instructions too

And rain is wet... I wonder why IA thought doing something obviously illegal would have any other outcome.

Also check out Alpaca; you can self-host this one, the 7B and 13B variants produce surprisingly good results and are fast enough just running on CPU: https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp
