Before people start assigning blame, just pointing out that even if all independent votes magically counted for Kamala (ranked choice would be so cool...) it wouldn't have changed the outcome at all

This implementation is fine but the text to speech is meh, Google's uses https://google-research.github.io/seanet/soundstorm/examples/ which is unfortunately not open source

Could you give an example of a game no longer available? Just checked and was able to dl Luigi's Mansion just fine

Sorry for the ambiguity, I intend to use this for audio applications (specifically I want to shift 20 kHz to 100 kHz down to human hearing range, tunable by a pot.)

Given the price and low supply I think I'll go ahead and try to wind my own transformers--thanks for the video, seems perfect!

I've recently been learning about superhet and frequency mixing and wanted to start tinkering. Specifically I'd like to try using two heterodynes in series to first frequency shift then uninvert the original audio, sort of like an analog frequency shifter.

To do this, I'd need a frequency mixer. I've been looking at a ring modulator (like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Diode_DBM.png) which should require 4 shottky diodes and 2 center-tapped transformers. I've had difficulty locating an affordable transformer, with good enough fidelity for audio, that also includes a center tap.

I have a few questions:

  • Where can I locate affordable, good-enough-for-audio transformers?
  • Is the ring mod approach good enough? I see there's also a gilbert cell.
  • Any general advice for someone just starting a project like this?

Thanks!

For the majority of human history, we've eaten around wood (around a campfire, a hearth, etc), it makes sense it would become intertwined with our food palette

In my experience, mypy + pydantic is a recipe for success, especially for large python projects

What are your thoughts on Javier Milei?

Cross modality is what is missing. We have models that can produce text, hear things, and see things really really well. Facilitating communication between these individual models, and probably creating some executive model to utilize them, is what's missing. We're probably still a few years from beginning to touch general intelligence

How can setup get any easier than apt install jellyfin and then going into a web UI to add a few folders?
