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 del…

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 ap…

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 …

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…

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 vo…

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 indi…

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…

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 w…

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. - …

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 …

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 exch…

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.…

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 requir…

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 degre…

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 Deepf…

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 …

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…

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 su…

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 anomal…

Which programming languages is Supermaven good at?

I'd find it hard to argue against this, or the Penny Arcade's statements, since I'm having trouble understanding their concrete arguments in between the rhetoric. I'd be hesitant t…

> The vaccines massively reduced mortality and severe disease in the vulnerable populations. By how much, in numbers?

"it goes out of its way to obscure the license terms" They make the license terms very clear. Their license page highlights the differences to the text of the Apache 2.0 license. T…
