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.

I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.

No I think this is completely novel actually, and afaik it’s CUDA only because that’s what the author have themselves.
I’ve been using it since I compiled it. I’d go so far as to claim this is a game changer for 12 and 16GB cards.


I assume you meant your and not the computer’s, and I agree - would also like to sound like him sometimes! :D
For those interested in the voice cloning part of the project though, it’s done “live” at server startup through two config options:
--qwen3_tts_ref_audio ./computer.wav
--qwen3_tts_ref_text "Darmak is the name of a seventh dynasty emperor on condon four A myth of a historical hunter on Chantil three A colony on Melindi seven"
Selecting the voice of the computer thus only needs a clear .wav of them speaking and a transcription.


This solution is fully open source - and the components used for SST/LLM/TTS are freely exchangeable. Latency goes down if one has the ability to use a separate SST like Parakeet instead of reusing the LLM for it as I do in this video.
My scope is “what me and family wants” - Home-Assistant is one of the tools the LLM lists (pool pump sensor comes from there). The server takes an mcp.json so any tool that has an MCP connector can be used.
Haven’t thought a graphical avatar, but I am a Red Dwarf fan and I’ve already thought about the ability to have pre-configured “themes” for the system (Star Trek, HAL, Holly etc) - although not something I can host and publish due to … waves hands … IP rights.


Thanks, I need to update the README :D Implemented full training support in the project yesterday so I could use “computer” instead of “hi ESP” :D


tbh if Dee Snider says it I’d assume he’s right
All quants updated with correct template now
Got an answer - there were indeed issue with some quants
Actually edit - UD-Q4_K_XL and all UD-* has our corrected chat teaplate
We need to update the non UD-* ones with our chat template - stay tuned
Having issues with it (Unsloth’s gguf).

This will let me have my Jolla phone stick to my magsafe charger? If so then awesome! No need for actual charging, but due to the type of desk I’m using that’s actually one of the issues I’m having right now going from my previous iPhone to the Jolla :D


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.


Less-than-beautiful UI added to the clients (still works as CLI if run with parameters). Somewhat problematic finding an easily cross-compileable Go UI lib.
Also made the typical pipe-to-bash installation flow, awaiting proper ujust in some far away future.
Regular 1Gbit/s with three switches in total between them - distance about 40m (different buildings).
Jag har hittills haft åsikten att vad jag än kan välja för bredband så väljer jag (och rekommenderar andra) Bahnhof eftersom oavsett om de är billigast eller inte så vet jag att mina pengar går till något bra för oss alla.
Med Telenor som ägare kommer jag nu istället gå strikt på features vs kostnad. Antingen levererar de bäst eller inte.
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

The trick in itself (the FFN tensors selectively being off GPU) shouldn’t be.
I think Putin should visit the front and take a few selfies of those winnings.
