>>38864 Looks good, but the prompt I posted with emotional tags is only for Orpheus and is just a stripped down version of the one Orpheus ships with which is this https://github.com/Lex-au/Orpheus-FastAPI/blob/main/System_Prompt.md I had a different prompt for F5-TTS with emotions but this is much better. Those are both good TTS engines that need a decent GPU with at least 8GB. For smaller, faster TTS in C++, sherpa onyx is a newer option than piper TTS https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx That sucks for Backyard since it was easy to install. SillyTavern\Open WebUI are a little harder but no coding is needed with Pinokio and they are all open source. SillyTavern is better for long format ERP and Open WebUI is more for productivity but has OpenAI speech API option which you can connect to a local Orpheus TTS server since it is a drop in replacement for the OpenAI speech endpoints.

>>38595 Great resources. While C++ is my goto for most every higher-level type functionality (executive, cognition, object-detection, world-modelling, route-planning, etc.), C is literally unbeatable for many embedded programming situations -- especially where realtime is involved! * Cheers, Anon. :^) --- * Say you need to write some rock-solid, stable & reliable, super-fast code for the little $0.08 dumb-as-a-rock MCU that sits managing/watching-over your robowaifu's elbow (or knee, &tc.) joint rotations...and communicating back up to the robowaifu's SBC 'brain cluster' on how that elbow is currently performing (angle, derivative rotation-rate, response-latency, power-consumption, w/e). And thats all this chip does -- just the one thing; all day erry day. You don't want to have to drag C++ runtime dependencies into that tiny chip's memory (and it mayn't even fit, in many cases). For such a task, C is the only right answer! :D

I mentioned zeptoforth and found a doc page and if you scroll down it has several book links telling you how to program with forth. https://github-wiki-see.page/m/tabemann/zeptoforth/wiki/Getting-Started-with-zeptoforth Here's the software. https://github.com/tabemann/zeptoforth It's set up for Raspberry Pi Pico W which is now my pick for the best, cheap, but no tariff micro-controller. Many will disagree but as far as ease of programming, speed and speed of actually creating programs I think forth run rings around C however contrary this may sound. I used HP calculators a lot so this sort of stack based RPN calculating comes natural to me. In fact once you use a HP RPN calculators all others are vile contraptions that cause nothing but trouble to use. RPN notation is smooth and follows logically all the steps of computation. I would say that programming in the large is not forth's strength as it can get hard to follow but for small stuff, which is what happens with MC, I don't think there's much that is any better. So anyways if you don't like it fine but I provided links for those that have interest.

>>37138 >{size_t, double} aaaa you made it worse i think it just gets optimized as a loop anyway so there shouldnt be a difference, its not really a compiler or algorithm thing its the fact the cpu stalls waiting on ram cuz all youre really doing is reading from memory, the trick before was it was just {int16, int16} so two nodes are fetched in one read so you can do them in parallel, now its too big youre not clearing the cache in your test, everything after the first test has the advantage of having parts preloaded in the cache, change the order of the tests to see what i mean, just add the flushcache() i made in between the tests, and return the value otherwise the optimizer will just remove it, it probably needs to be bigger than i made it, check your l3 cache in lscpu and use double that
>>37143 >aaaa you made it worse Haha, sorry Anon. :^) And actually, that was slightly-intentional, in an effort to 'complexify' the problemspace being tested by this simple harness. >its not really a compiler or algorithm thing its the fact the cpu stalls waiting on ram cuz all youre really doing is reading from memory Yeah, I can totally see that. Kinda validates my earlier claim that >"...my test is too simplistic really." >youre not clearing the cache in your test, everything after the first test has the advantage of having parts preloaded in the cache This would certainly be a valid concern in a rigorous test-harness. OTOH, I consider it a relatively negligible concern in this case. After all, the caches are quite smol in comparison to a 100M (8byte+8byte) data structure? (However, it probably does explain the 'very slight edge' mentioned earlier for the standard form of find_if [and, by extension, which doesn't occur for the more complex data-access strategy of the parallel version of it].) <---> Regardless, I think this simple testing here highlights that fact that for simple data firehose'g, the compiler will optimize away much of the distinctions between different architectural approaches possible. I don't see any need to test this further until a more-complex underlying process is involved. Cheers, Anon.

>>37151 >relatively negligible concern in this case it made a really big difference on my machine, its not just data, the instructions are also cached and theyre all the same after being optimized so its a big headstart after the first round also forgot to mention O3 doesnt really optimize it just messes up loops by going extreme with unrolling, no one uses it for that reason, its too much and has the opposite effect, declare the c function as bool c_find_id_get_val(std::vector<Widget> const &widgets, unsigned int id, double &value)__attribute__((optimize(2))); if you have to use O3, when not messed up by the optimizer a loop should have less overhead just cuz theres no function calls like when calling an object
>>37154 >the instructions are also cached and theyre all the same after being optimized Good point. >-O2 vs -O3 I simply went with the flag that produced the highest performance results on my machine. I tried both. But thanks for the further insights, Anon. Cheers.

Self-driving cars AI + hardware Robowaifu Technician 09/11/2019 (Wed) 07:13:28 No.112 [Reply]
Obviously the AI and hardware needed to run an autonomous gynoid robot is going to be much more complicated than that required to drive an autonomous car, but there are at least some similarities, and the cars are very nearly here now. There are also several similarities between the automobile design, production and sales industries and what I envision will be their counterparts in the 'Companion Robot' industries. Practically every single advance in self-driving cars will eventually have important ramifications for the development and production of Robowaifus.

ITT: post ideas and news about self-driving cars and the hardware and software that makes them possible. Also discuss the technical, regulatory, and social challenges ahead for them. Please keep in mind this is the /robowaifu/ board, and if you have any insights about how you think these topics may crossover and apply here would also be welcome.

OpenAI/GPT-2 This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in deep learning and AI so far. It's extremely skilled in developing coherent humanlike responses that make sense and I believe it has massive potential, it also never gives the same answer twice. >GPT-2 generates synthetic text samples in response to the model being primed with an arbitrary input. The model is chameleon-like—it adapts to the style and content of the conditioning text. This allows the user to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic of their choosing >GPT-2 displays a broad set of capabilities, including the ability to generate conditional synthetic text samples of unprecedented quality, where we prime the model with an input and have it generate a lengthy continuation. In addition, GPT-2 outperforms other language models trained on specific domains (like Wikipedia, news, or books) without needing to use these domain-specific training datasets. Also the current public model shown here only uses 345 million parameters, the "full" AI (which has over 4x as many parameters) is being witheld from the public because of it's "Potential for abuse". That is to say the full model is so proficient in mimicking human communication that it could be abused to create new articles, posts, advertisements, even books; and nobody would be be able to tell that there was a bot behind it all. <AI demo: talktotransformer.com/ <Other Links: github.com/openai/gpt-2 openai.com/blog/better-language-models/ huggingface.co/

SPUD Thread 2: Robowaifu Boogaloo Mechnomancer 11/19/2024 (Tue) 02:27:15 No.34445 [Reply] [Last]
This first post is to show the 5 big milestones in the development of SPUD, the Specially Programmed UwU Droid. You can see the old thread here: >>26306 The end goal of SPUD is to provide a fairly high-functioning robot platform at a relatively low cost (free code but a few bucks for 3d print files) that can be used for a variety of purposes such as promotional, educational or companionship. All AI used is hosted on local systems: no bowing to corporations any more than necessary, thank you. Various aspects of the code are/will be modular, meaning that adding a new voice command/expression/animation will be easy as making the file, naming it and placing it in the correct folder (no need to mess around with the base code unless you REALLY want to). While I'm researching more about bipedal walking I'll be making a companion for SPUD to ride on, so it might be a while before I return to the thread.
