Something that always irked me about 98.css and its friends was the ever-so-slightly-incorrect version of MS Sans Serif.

Finally decided to do something about it: https://github.com/jdan/98.css/pull/230

To be fair, gnu tar 1.31, 2019-01-02, added `--zstd` (and other automatic .zst support). So that support has been there for a good 7 years and 4 months at the time of writing.

> Typically, other archives like .tar.bz2 can be smaller. But those aren’t backwards-compatible!

Is there any point for (new) .bz2 archives in the era of Zstd?

What do you mean with "basically ensures that dependencies won't become managed properly"?

This doesn't do the same thing though, since it's not Unicode aware.

    >>> 'x\u2009   a'.split()
    ['x', 'a']
    # incorrect; in bytes mode, `\S` doesn't know about unicode whitespace
    >>> list(re.finditer(br'\S+', 'x\u2009   a'.encode()))
    [<re.Match object; span=(0, 4), match=b'x\xe2\x80\x89'>, <re.Match object; span=(7, 8), match=b'a'>]
    # correct, in unicode mode
    >>> list(re.finditer(r'\S+', 'x\u2009   a'))
    [<re.Match object; span=(0, 1), match='x'>, <re.Match object; span=(5, 6), match='a'>]

This inspired me to update my over-a-decade-old glitch generator https://akx.github.io/glitch2/ with camera input and a handful of new modules.

It's pretty good. And for once, a software-engineering-ly high-quality codebase, too!

All too often, new models' codebases are just a dump of code that installs half the universe in dependencies for no reason, etc.

If someone's curious about those particular constants, they're the PAL Y' matrix coefficients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%E2%80%B2UV#SDTV_with_BT.470

You'd think there was a LUT you could apply to the digital copies during playback to make it look (more) like the original...

These days, once you have https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ installed, `uvx --from service-ping-sping sping` is pretty much zero effort to run this software.

> Is `uv format` supposed to be an alias for `ruff check`?

I'd imagine not, since `ruff format` and `ruff check` are separate things too.

This is a fun model for circuit-bending, because the voice style vectors are pretty small.

For instance, try adding `np.random.shuffle(ref_s[0])` after the line `ref_s = self.voices[voice]`...

EDIT: be careful with your system volume settings if you do this.

Ah, yeah, good catch – I added the model-native speed multiplier to the CLI too (`--speed=1.2` for instance).

I'll help you along - this is the core function that Kitten ends up calling. Good luck!

I opened a couple of PRs to fix this situation:

https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/21 https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/24 https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/25

If you have `uv` installed, you can try my merged ref that has all of these PRs (and #22, a fix for short generation being trimmed unnecessarily) with

    uvx --from git+https://github.com/akx/KittenTTS.git@pr-21-22-24-25 kittentts --output output.wav --text "This high quality TTS model works without a GPU"

`uv run --offline` will use cached dependencies and not check for newer versions. Works for `uvx` too, i.e. `uvx --offline ...`.

This is what stable-diffusion-webui does too (though the format is unfortunately plaintext); ComfyUI stores the node graph as JSON, etc.

Why even `git clone`? With a properly packaged project, you can just `uvx --from=git+https://github.com/akx/bindl.git bindl`

`UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT` works fine for that. That's what I use for my venv-managing Fish functions: https://gist.github.com/akx/c357bbda9facbe41f08747a2622795c4
