Its one NGO trying to dictate what "open source" is and btw. according to that definition, Qwen isn't open source.

Good that we have the arbitrator of what "real open source" is and isn't over here.

I've been using Higgs-Audio for a while now as the primary TTS system. How would you say does Chatterbox compare to it if you have experience?

Dubious anti-China "research" meant as propaganda and China blocking the university page and asking to not continue this "research" is now intimidation. The UK and especially the BBC has been THE hotbed of anti-China misinformation.

I remember using a ratio-fake tool that would basically proxy your reporting to the tracker with the signature of the client you were actually using. It was awesome.

Afaik they have a test bench that they use and take the activation data from that.

According to the bench its closer to Opus, but I venture primarily for English and Chinese.

Remember that there was a Huawei Lab member that got fired for literally sabotaging training runs. Would not be surprised if that was him.

No? There are a lot of studies showing positive benefits: >The primary benefit of creatine is an improvement in strength and power output during resistance exercise. Creatine is well-researched for this purpose, and its effects are quite notable for a supplement, both in the general population,[6][7][8][9] and specifically in older adults.[10][11][12] When used in conjunction with resistance exercise, creatine may modestly increase lean mass.[7][12][11][13] In trained athletes, creatine has been reported to reduce body fat and improve some measures of anaerobic exercise performance, strength, and power output.

And as a general rule of thumb: Don't take anything from 4chan seriously.

Recently, I asked ChatGPT if the US has imprisoned US citizens in Guantanamo-Bay and whether or not this is legal. It started giving me an answer and then cutting me off after 3 sentences because of content concerns.

But the reason it failed is primarily the fault of the US. Forced decoupling from Russia because of NATO expansion and forced trade war with China at the behest of the American Masters.

Its funny because from the perspective of Germany, Russia was always a good partner in trade with a win-win situation. But can't rely on your allies not to blow up our infrastructure. The US has always behaved like a bully and a Mafia boss. No matter how low you bow, if Master wants to whip you, he will.

How are AMD cards performing? I heard it was still very hit and miss in regards to support. Have you also tried things like F5-TTS?
