Set up the system for them and let it do the talking I guess?

They can have both until they realize they don’t need both.

I make sure to always assume it was nepotism and my confidence remains sky high no matter how long I stay unemployed. It just works.

That’s the only thing that came to mind to be honest, I guess hopefully he will clarify.

Heretic

I think he’s referring to man boobs.

Yes

If you have material with him speaking in English, you might be able to train an xtts model on it and then use that to bypass the elvenlabs captcha but I’m not sure if they give enough time. Although GPU rental is cheap these days, so captcha time is less of a factor.

If anything, the tech is moving quite fast, it will definitely be easier in a few years, maybe even months.

Elvenlabs is currently the best but you can get some very good results with first xtts then rvc as a second pass. It involves fine tuning models and running things with python and notebooks, so requires some know how.

You can explore more models on the huggingface page https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=text-to-speech&sort=trending

Most have a huggingface space dedicated to them where you can try them, here is the xtts space for example https://huggingface.co/spaces/coqui/xtts

The language adds an other layer of difficulty, I would try their demo first to see if it gives anything workable but it isn’t a language current tts software cater too, it doesn’t seem to be an available option on xtts sadly.

I remember my buddy doing this and getting stitches on his hand and shoulder. We were 10, kids can be dumb sometimes.

I’m kind of impressed they made a whole ignition system with a battery and everything tbh.

Avoid anything that comes in plastic packaging and distill your own water. You will still need to drink normal water but I can’t imagine any municipality is currently equipped to deal with microplastic so reducing your intake is probably a good idea.

Short of moving somewhere very rural and growing all your own food, it is close to impossible.

As a form of protest, you could try to trespass into the white house in an obvious way. That would definitely get you jail time and maybe a GoFundMe. I figure if you have a sign, they won’t shoot you.

I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie’s portrayal of romance. Each relationship seems thoroughly inconvenient to both parties when it starts and it never actually ends well.

I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I’m making it about their mom.

You need a GPU for any kind of performance.

For text I suggest: Ollama backend - command line interface, very easy to download models with one line of code. Supports most models and you can talk with the model inside the terminal so it’s stand alone OpenWebUI - easy install with docker and is meant to work easily with ollama. Comes with web search features and uploading pdfs. A bunch of different community tools and modules are available.

For img I suggest either: Automatic1111 - Traditional UI using gradio. Lots of extras you can download through the UI to do different things. ComfyUI - Node based UI, a bit more complicated but more powerful than automatic1111

For models, you can go on civitai and just download whatever you need and drop it into their respective folders for both auto and comfy.

For text, there’s also LMStudio which is very user friendly. It is closed source and much slower than ollama from my experience though. I have a 4060 in my laptop (8gb VRAM) and I’m getting an image every 2 secs about using stable diffusion 1.5 models and text speed is on par with chatgpt with the smaller 8b-9b model. For text I suggest gemma2 which is probably the best small model out right now.

I completely agree with you. UBI is overall a good idea, I just think UBI alone won’t be enough to properly deal with massive job loss and certain aspects of our economic systems are going to greatly reduce its impact. It’s a very complicated problem and we have some serious decisions to make, it’s further complicated by the fact that the best solutions will probably end up dealing a blow to the billionaire class and big corporations and they will most likely fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo.

Oh 100%, I’m just saying his use of the word is in no way wrong like half the comments seem to imply. Everyone knew exactly what he meant and the definition is in most dictionaries.

This seems to pop up everytime the word is used and it’s a major pet peeve of mine.

My comment is only aimed at those that think third world only means the historical definition when that hasn’t been the case for at least two decades. The word third world is almost always used to mean developing country in day to day conversation.

My main fear is how this will affect renting and house ownership. Rents will probably go up as UBI comes into play and what’s left won’t be enough to save for any kind of down deposit. I doubt UBI will be enough for monthly mortgage payments in any case.

It’s already very hard to move past the renting stage, I imagine it will be impossible once on UBI.

The cast would be comprised of land and business owners. Again, it’s already almost the case, I just think UBI without careful considerations would amplify it.

Maybe saying all dictionaries is a bit much, I only checked a few.

Developing countries would be the synonym for third world in the definition used by OP.

Languages evolve over time, all dictionaries now have OPs use of the word as the first definition.
