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.

My daughter loves the Moana movies. I’ve told her about this one - and the anti-excitement of “the same movie but with actual persons” is quite obvious. I can only conclude that no actual parents were involved in its inception.

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

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

I guess it didn’t happen during the race?

Well it’s also that apparently all spectators have to be evacuated from the grandstands in the US when there’s lightning. No idea why that’s a thing there and not anywhere else.

That was a race.

I remember the good old days when it was enough to watch the start to know what the final results would be. I like these new regs.

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

ex-Symbian employee/developer here:

Symbian/Epoc C++ is vastly different from modern C++. Enjoy yourself, as long as you are ok with learning a “dead” eco system where a lot of the things you learn aren’t useful on other more modern platforms.

Latest hobby dev: A Hytale mod. Because I’ve had an itch to scratch since I didn’t test this idea in Minecraft 15 years ago when I made mods there :D

Max to Indycar 2027

Go Alonso!

I’m happy with my NanoKVMs

You need to watch more Indycar oval racing ;)

But in some ways yes - adding more strategy to the drivers’ toolboxes will hopefully mean the race results are less predictable than based purely on the cars’ performances.

Racing has evolved. I most definitely approve of the added strategy elements in how to plan overtakes now. The Swedish Viaplay commentators likened it to Indycar oval racing and I agree.
