Have you heard the stuff from the new v4 model? The vocals are so much clearer and the instrumentation gets pretty varied (ymmv depending on how specific you get with the styles though)

It’s a fair interpretation of the question, but I believe the original question was one more of practice than theory. In theory, it’s abnormal to snore. In practice, a good chunk of the population does snore.

Petty theft rings too true. Had a friend that worked at one of those bulk ingredient shops who’d regularly just take home like a kilo of rice or flour. They don’t check anyway and it hardly affects their bottom line.

You should give Claude Code a shot if you have a Claude subscription. I’d say this is where AI actually does a decent job: picking up human slack, under supervision, not replacing humans at anything. AI tools won’t suddenly be productive enough to employ, but I as a professional can use it to accelerate my own workflow. It’s actually where the risk of them taking jobs is real: for example, instead of 10 support people you can have 2 who just supervise the responses of an AI.

But of course, the Devil’s in the detail. The only reason this is cost effective is because of VC money subsidizing and hiding the real cost of running these models.

It’s almost like OP had learned about AI impressions before hearing that impressions have been a thing for far longer than we’ve had AI to imitate voices. No judgement here, just fascinating.

It’s a pretty big jump to go from ChatGPT/LeChat to hosting your own LLM locally, if you want results that are anywhere close to the commercial offerings. Both of them even have a free tier that would probably still be better than anything you could run locally without significant hardware investment. It’s definitely not difficult these days, but it’s very expensive to get close results unless you’ve already got the hardware.

What is this magical dictionary? I’m almost afraid to ask but, won’t just about any dictionary do just fine?

Not a lawyer, but I’ve had to deal with copyright before. If I’m not mistaken, the only thing the Smite devs could feasibly hold a copyright to is there specific expression of the characters - i.e. the unique visual design, the voice lines, the lore (assuming it’s not also just the lore from already existing public domain works), animations, etc., that’s the only time you’d be in trouble. With game mechanics it’s pretty dicey because I think you’d have a hard time finding a judge to actually rule that any company “owns” a game mechanic. But if you copy how the characters look, the art style, maybe even specific dialogue (which couldn’t be found as part of another public domain work) that’s when you could possibly have a claim.

But even still, you have to remember that copyright is not this “oh you’ve broken the law you’re a criminal now” type thing where once you’ve “infringed” it’s over. It’s typically handled first via informal means like contacting Steam/Epic/GOG/etc. and saying “hey we believe these guys have stolen our character.” They’ll have to convince the platforms first, and then the platforms will take it down to avoid liability. It’s only if the parties want to pursue it further will they have to take it to court and have a jury/judge rule on it. Copyright suits tend to be ruled on precedent rather than just the black-and-white letter of the law.

If that’s your concern I personally find ZeroTier a lot simpler to set up securely. You basically can’t expose things to the public internet through it because it doesn’t even require you to forward ports or anything.

I’ve observed the same thing about YT music’s audio. It’s actually a bit frustrating because YT has the better quality, it’s louder too (Spotify app is strangely quiet in comparison), the algorithm is nicer, I actually even like the UI a little better. But the queue system sucks donkey balls, there’s no cross-system control, and no jam so I often go back to Spotify when with friends.

Woah, that means some day you may be able to run Servo inside of Servo.

As someone who used to run a Plex server and a jellyfin server for myself (not at the same time) I’d have to agree with the sentiment. If I were trying to provide it for my less techy friends/family I’d go Jellyfin again. But for just me? Video files + samba fileshare all the way. Even lets me play the videos on my phone.

It’s remarkable, really.

Is it really any different than, say, a cookbook? I mean, Babish has to pay his bills and most of his content is still free videos which show you how to cook things including proportions and measurements for the ingredients.

I thought it’d drop the “just the trunk space” thing eventually but it reaffirms it towards the end

But the question specifies that the car should still be drivable, which probably means that the rear seats need to be in place for passengers to sit.

And the reasoning broke down, you don’t need passengers to drive a car. Pretty interesting reading it’s “thought” process with the little humanisms like “hmm” and “but wait!”

Yes the blue bird website did it first iirc

If anything, modders showed Mojang how it’s done. Looking at it now, the Forge API is really familiar

Then again, Minecraft used to be (maybe still is? I haven’t modded in a while) a big mess of spaghetti code but somehow modders not only made it work, but made it work without any documentation and working from obfuscated code.

There’s always the good ol’ “danna”

Didn’t crunchyroll used to be exactly that kind of website they’re getting taken down now? Lame…
