Yes. An additional reason is that both X and Reddit are no longer viewable without logging in. This might attract readers, though perhaps not posters, who need to log in anyway. But your free speech rule might make the forum one-sided over

Interesting approach! I've thought about a similar method after reading about the PLATO platform. When playing astro‑maze, the delay is noticeable, and in a 2D action game such delays are especially apparent. Games that don’t rely on t

In my case, Z for shooting works only rarely. Usually nothing happens. How does the game code query the key?

Thanks! But I get the impression that with Kokoro, a strong CPU still requires about two seconds to generate one sentence, which is too much of a delay for a TTS voice in an AAC app. I'd rather accept a little compromise regarding the

I had already suspected that I hadn't found all the possibilities regarding Tortoise TTS, Coqui, Piper, etc. It is sometimes difficult to determine how good a TTS framework really is. Do you possibly have links to the voices you found?

The sample sounds impressive, but based on their claim -- 'Streaming inference is faster than playback even on an A100 40GB for the 3 billion parameter model' -- I don't think this could run on a standard laptop.

Thank you, but they say "Offline models only run really well on Apple Silicon macs."

Large text-to-speech and speech-to-text models have been greatly improving recently. But I wish there were an offline , on-device, multilingual text-to-speech solution with good voices for a standard PC — one that doesn't require a GP

In my experience, this bug - lags and overheating when drawing with the Apple Pencil - exists since iPadOS 16. When searching for it on the web, I found lots of reports and no indication that it is solved, including by hardware replacements

I've used Apple's Automator app to add a new custom Quick Action which does exactly this. After right-clicking a folder, the right-click menu shows my custom Quick Action to create an empty text file. This requires about 5 to 10 m

In the example I mentioned, ChatGPT 4 did keep all essential statements of my texts when reproducing shorter versions of them. For example, it often wrote one high-level sentence which skillfully summarized a paragraph of the original text.

Am I blind or is there no mention at all of the GPT model he used? The author states his conclusions but doesn't give the reader the information required to examine the problem. - Whether the article to be summarized fits into the test

I prefer to work intensely and collaboratively in an office. This is how I'd do it: Three in-office days, same weekdays for everyone (e.g. Monday to Wednesday). The choice to have a 5-day or 4-day week. An energetic, quietly humming wo

We're currently building a new AAC device which allows users to write/speak quite a bit faster, and we're encountering exactly the hurdles you mention. Would you be willing to exchange some helpful pointers about how to bring

Did your game require realistic physics collisions? If not, this might be unnecessary complexity. Almost no 2D shoot'em up game before 2000, and very few afterwards, go this route. Here's the common method to make a shmup with ver

Feedback: Your introduction "From Mario bouncing off a Goomba..." might be a bit misleading IMO because most games like the classic Super Mario titles on NES and SNES do not require and did not use most of these calculations. Game

You're right. Three things: 1. He isn't working on this exclusively. In the update notes, he mentions that he's making the game in parallel to a job. He recently finished his degree and sometimes takes time off for his next p

Surely you're not claiming that a game with fewer than 1000 reviews is "languishing"? Any indie game with 1000 reviews is very successful. Picking your first example, Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum has about 460 reviews, roughly

Thanks for giving these interesting examples. I hope that this doesn't come across as moving the goalposts, but for me it's a given that popular Youtubers can multiply the success of a game, and that this depends to a large extent

I think that extreme outliers like Flappy Bird (which the developer developed over a couple of days and probably didn't expect any significant return) just muddle these discussions. They're irrelevant if you want to suss out what

Then it seems that "survivorship bias" is some kind of unfalsifiable and self-fulfilling belief. Secondly, these sorts of discussions usually don't define any concrete amount of success that a game is supposed to achieve. Wha

Correct me if I'm wrong: When a study describes a finding as 'significantly associated,' it usually merely means that the study result can be assumed to not be due to a mere anomaly in the study data with a confidence of 95 %

If you got that good at predictions, doesn't that show that for most games, it's usually not a lottery at all? Aside from rare cases like Flappy Bird, and aside from the usual vagaries of commercial, technological and artistic pro
