  • The offline AI that I tried a few months ago probably needed training on the noise environment to get decent results. I forget which ones I tried but likely the ones with extensions already in Oobabooga Textgen. I was messing with text to speech mostly, but some of the ones that do TTS also have packages and examples for STT. Nothing I tried for offline generation was good enough to speak as an AI prompt without manual corrections.



  • Yeah, but neither makes sense any more. I use yymmdd in my default file naming for natural sorting hierarchy. I just don’t think in that context. I guess that makes this post an interesting reflection from a couple of extra angles.

    Our US 3 digit area codes for phone number regions are likely not really paralleled elsewhere in the world either. It’s interesting all the little cultural subtleties that shape the mind.








  • Blueberries, 3% salt brine, microscopic Mason jar deathmatch for a month with burping. It yielded ~600mL of savory, slightly fruity-ish juice.

    5lb chuck roast, dry- onion, garlic, salt, pepper, - twice–before and after rubbing in a course Dijon mustard. Then 4 hours @165F on a pellet grill with temp control via a stepper motor auger; mostly just for the bark-ish hardwood flavor. Then the roast was placed in a dutch oven with some old chicken stock, and a cheap beer with some onion, garlic, and a couple baking potatoes as filler to ensure the whole thing was covered. I cooked this for 6 hours at whatever temp my oven calls 250F. That yielded ~1000mL of juice… and some excellent shredded beef BBQ.

    I mixed both of those juices and simmered them down to ~600mL total, filtered, and bottled it. The final product is like a smokey Worcestershire sauce with a hint of fruity flavor that is quite weak, maybe on par with the amount of fruity one might taste in a Hefeweizen beer but a more complex savory flavor than Worcestershire sauce.

    Overall, I’m just at the initial fermentation experimental phase where I am not concerned with reproducibility, yield, or cost, and am just using everything free, cheap, or about to get thrown out as fodder for low effort experiments.

    Disability makes me physically limited but time rich. So this is an abstract exploration of my available resources.

    Open source 8×7B sexbot LLM:

    Question: Translate this to English please: “Quando tutto Sara privato saremo privati di tutto” Answer: “When everything is private we will be deprived of all.” (This sentence expresses concern for a society in which everything - from natural resources or public utilities, even basic needs like water and air - are turned over to the private sphere. The fear is that this would lead people to become impoverished as essential goods may not be available at affordable prices.)

    I don’t know. I must be getting old cause nerdy girl cardboard granny is starting to look kinda hot.




  • Everything will be consumed by the US election and whatever conflict arises as a result. This will result in the first organized broader scope violence since the 1860’s. I expect a Kennedy level conspiracy type event that will shape the next decade or more. Getting the guy out of office resulted in a failed coup, and the man is not in jail or dead. That alone shows that the country is dead in the water. This is like Brexit; fuck around and find out how much worse in can be. It was the same with Hitler. Inaction makes it worse because it emboldens monsters. Either way, now is the time to become a tin foil hat vender.






  • Never on boats across seas and continents. Nowhere on earth now is really safe from the history and influence of colonialism. All of those expeditions carried a strong religious underpinning that was the primary capital motivation in case of loss. Myanmar is no exception. All of it only happened because it was underpinned by religious bullshit. Many cultures were motivated by trade in the past but none of those that only cared for trade ever had the kind of history of death accompanied by Abrahamic faiths. This is the primary commonality with all of the worst acts in human history in one form or another. Shedding this one awful thing would be the largest positive change possible. Abrahamic faith is the single greatest disease in all of history.
