Tom Fichtner<p>Gerade die Demo probiert, ganz schön nice. Soll wohl Open Source werden.<br />Muss man aber mit externem Headset- und Mikro machen. Als ich es vorher über meinen Laptop-Speaker gemacht hat, schien der Voice-Output immer wieder ins Mikro zu kommen, so dass sich das Model selbst unterbrochen hat.</p><p><a href="https://www.sesame.com/research/crossing_the_uncanny_valley_of_voice#demo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sesame.com/research/crossing_t</span><span class="invisible">he_uncanny_valley_of_voice#demo</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ki</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>llm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/voice" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>voice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/chat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>chat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/llama" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>llama</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/mistral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mistral</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/sesame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sesame</span></a></p>

Tom Fichtner<p>Ich hab mir das Scholz/Merz-TV-Duell in voller Länge angeschaut und fand es gut. Größtenteils sachliche Diskussion, im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten der Diskutanten, ausgewogene Themenauswahl, gute Moderation. Ich mochte auch das Bühnendesign mit dem aufgebrochenen Karo-Muster.

Tom Fichtner<p>US-Websiten für Bürgerdienstleistung beruhen auf einem Open Source Stack, welcher vor 10 Jahren unter der Obama-Regierung begründet wurde.

I can recommend the pages of "Picture of the Year" at Wikimedia Commons. To browse through the countless excellent submissions of each year, click on "Candidates" or "Categories", depending on layout of that year. Pictures include both contemporary photography and historical artworks. The amazing thing: every piece is available in super-high resolution, perfect for reproduction. Decorate your living space with something tasteful.

Hat eh schon jeder gesehen, aber ich will's auch nochmal posten. Ab Zeitmarke 5:30 wird es interessant und bleibt spannend bis zur letzten Minute. Ich mochte vor allem die Skizzen von Stella, die zeigen, was ein zentraler Korpus an Standort-Daten alles für Rückschlüsse über die jeweiligen Personen erlaubt. Danke an @fluepke und @michaelkreil !
