  • Is there an offline tool that generates realistic audio for epubs as Mp3 ? Something like the free Ai tool, Vibe which is for transcription. Is there something similar for TTS, runs locally without complicated setup ( most are complicated using python and etc just for installation)

    edit: needs to be close to realistic or at least accurate pronunciation because I am using the audio from books to learn languages. To improve listening comprehension while reading book.



  • Just because a country does not side with russia, it is a US vassal? These US “vassal” are refusing to import chlorinated chicken from US. what kind of vassal refuse trade with their “master”.

    You left out russian invasion, coups, separatists, and terrorism inside Ukraine, Donbas.

    Instead of filling your head with propaganda, take a look at the map and russia borders and coasts. Measure the length of the russia border. Now measure the length of the Nato border with russia before the Ukraine war. No way was russia cornered.

    The most peaceful non-allied borders of russia with the least number of border troops are along NATO borders. which means russia feels safe with NATO at its borders.

    Reasons like NATO and various other reasons are just excuses made for different sheeps/audience. NATO expanded even more due to russia invasion. Nato was not the reason unless it prevents russia from expanding territories. Ukraine said they won’t apply to NATO, russia invaded anyway. It was not about NATO, russia is not afraid of getting invaded by NATO due to MAD, and also that is not the purpose of NATO. It is a defensive alliance.

    Why expand territories? The main thing russia achieved so far is to get the warm water ports in crimea. IMO, Russia just wanted the warm water ports in Ukraine’s Crimea and the main water supply to crimea, which is in Ukraine’s Donbas, and to eventually link up to Tranistria It is just simple expansionism for more territories. Empire building. Putin already admitted it during the interview with Carlson.

    It is not complicated. Complexity was created because different sheeps needed different reasons to support russia, reasons like NATO or biolabs for some, Nazis or LGBTQ and etc, for others. Exactly the same as the US, using made-up WMDs story to invade Iraq.

    Russia has zero security issue since they have most nukes in the world. They also have most land to shelter from nuclear attack. They are already surrounded by nuclear powers like France, china, nkorea and etc. It is other countries that have genuine security issues with russia, its nukes, and imperial expansionism






  • Someone could create a forum for bots to discuss with each other. Call it Redbit. The bot could generate every possible questuon to ask and even steal questions from quora, reddit, Xitter, and every other forum, various AI bots can then reply to those questions with the best replies.

    It can help put reddit out of business. Since most people are just looking for answers when they search google and get a reddit hit, most people don’t even bother to sign for reddit and etc.




  • Yea the 5 ingredient stuff is weird, what if I make a 5 fruits salad. To me the number of unnatural processing steps (processes that don’t occur regularly in nature) makes more sense.

    Yes, curry is processed food. It goes through the unnatural process of high heat cooking. I’m not sure about healthy-ness, I think a lot also depends on dosage. I don’t see processing as always being bad.

    To me, Dosage makes the poison.

    Drinking 4 gallons of curry in 1 sitting is probably bad, same as drinking 4 gallons of unprocessed water in one sitting.





  • I’m not sure about milk, but high temp heating is not something that occurs naturally. I am pretty sure heating kills both good and bad stuff so it chemically alters milks, even if minimally. If it is altered chemically or it’s nutrient profile changes or it goes through a process that doesn’t occur regularly, naturally in nature, I consider it processed.

    Some form of processing is necessary to prevent disease, i am not against processed stuff to prevent disease.

    Eating raw wheat seed, our body can’t absorb anything, eating powered wheat we still can’t absorb much nutrient. The moment we add water and heat and make bread, we break the cell walls, and now we can absorb most of the nutrients. It also raising the glycemic index of wheat.

    I don’t consider fermented (decomposition) stuff like yogurt as processed since it can occur naturally, I just see it as a different food, like a seed is a food that can naturally become a plant that is also a food.



  • His logic is that russia is so dumb that they jumped into an obvious “trap” set by US “proxy” so that KGB putin can help US destroy russia through Ukraine. he made it sound like putin is a fool and was tricked into invading to weaken russia.

    If putin was not interested in war and expanding territories, they would not have blocked Ukraine from joining Europes’s NATO so that the border can be peaceful, just like the other russia borders with NATO.

    It is clear that russia wanted ports in crimea and Ukraine territories, which is why russia started blocking Ukraine from joining NATO. In the beginning, russia was ok with Ukraine joining NATO. Russia wanted war in Ukraine for some reason and have been planning it for a very long time, with their puppets, funding coups, terrorist and operatives in donbas region. https://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/21598
