I think Putin should visit the front and take a few selfies of those winnings.

I get the fear around the fishing industry, but regardless of Iceland’s dependance on them we all need to stop eating fish. We’re completely wrecking the ocean ecosystems - it’s not sustainable.

I’d love to have Iceland fully join us in the EU.

Qwen3-TTS does excellent cloning and is very fast. On my workstation (5060Ti) it renders the audio at around 2.5x realtime. I’ve added an example with my parameters now.

I’ve added example scripts for client, server and MCP configs. It should be much easier to replicate with those now.

Oh thanks all for the nice comments! My fork is at https://github.com/troed/speech-to-speech but beware it’s not kept in any other state than what I’ve last pushed :) Also you’ll have to supply your own chime wavs and voice sample etc.

I think this hadn’t been made a big deal out of if it hadn’t been for the conspiracy theories on Proton just before

Yeah it was quite obvious from all the “clanker” that this is a typical run-of-the-mill AI-hater, but I found this funny anyway:

The weight count is too low to reproduce the training set verbatim

That’s not what anyone wants. That’s not how LLMs gain “intelligence”, at all. The whole point of training on large datasets is to NOT internalize training data verbatim.

Our framework outpaces orbital velocity by 9 times on a consumer GPU

I’m sure that nomenclature is obvious with their intended audience but am I confused right now

Sounds more negative than it is. +8% in Europe. The Orange buffoon’s trade war and China’s anti-competitive internal practices aren’t much to do about.

Lemmy and Mbin are roughly the same thing - “Reddit”

Mastodon is “Twitter”

… and there are more, with Loops being “TikTok” and Pixelfed being “Instagram”.

They can all see the same content, but presented in ways that emphasize their unique aspects. That’s what people call “Fediverse” but it’s much simpler to just think of them as separate apps and ignore that technically true but confusing aspect.

Yeah I’m more thinking about the four wheel drive Gen 4.

They’ll never be allowed to compete head to head. It’s like Formula E, that will always be enough different from Formula 1 so as to never show what a pure matchup would look like.

Of course it’s not necessary. I’m a way-beyond-senior dev who laughed at LLMs up until a few months ago when trusted friends, whose competence is not in question, told me they got good usage out of them.

I decided to challenge my convictions and sat down and took the time to learn how to use LLM assistants (I tried everyting from full vibe coding to manual gatekeeping of suggestions).

Now I use them for my own personal projects, and I’m much more productive (for various reasons - but one is that the initial friction of oh yet another thing I have to learn just to do X is much lower. I have no boss telling me what to do, and I select my projects myself. If they didn’t bring any benefits I wouldn’t use them.

That’s my personal view as well and so all apps I write are “licensed” as CC0. Other maintainers are taking a different view.

Having a policy against bad apps is fine - but that’s not what this policy says.

It’s trivial to write a good app using LLM aids - but that new app won’t have such a history.

That’s … incredibly stupid. It will also make Flathub completely irrelevant shortly since app developers won’t change what they’re doing just because Flathub throws a hissy fit.

/had an LLM-assisted PR merged into an open source project yesterday

It’s similar to being an assembler coder when higher level languages with compilers came. No need for management purging, you’ll simply be competing for a smaller segment of assigments.

I don’t know of a single developer that has actually used LLM aids say there’s no benefit to them. Those that refuse do so for some other convictions and don’t really know the difference between LLM aiding in tasks and full on yolo vibe coding.

When they figure it out and become capable of reading and writing. Tablets, phones and computers are not locked down. Parental guidening and open communication means they know what it is, that there’s good and there’s bad content and people etc.

Working great.

First batch new Jolla phone coming in the summer. I have high hopes.

Best I can do is just point to source code written by an old colleague and friend of mine from back in the day: https://sourceforge.net/p/qbubblemp/code/HEAD/tree/

I wrote system apps and UI frameworks and it’s 25 years ago so I don’t want to pretend to remember too much :D
