solarized··on BASE TTS: The largest text-to-speech model to-date
From the ethical statement.

> However, due to the potential misuse of this capability, we have decided against open-sourcing this model as a precautionary measure.

Another irony. Elevenlabs had SaaS-ed this feature. I bet they'll jump on releasing this as SaaS ASAP. Money always trumps ethics, right?

> And those are, naturally, people with a programmer’s mindset.

Digging this line! Even in the craziest hustle, there's still space for some healthy competition. At least there are still jobs for us humans. I seriously can't wrap my head around how our civilization will cope when AI robots snatch up all the human jobs.

      count[station]++
      if (temperature < min[station] || count[station] == 1) {
          min[station] = temperature
      }
      if (temperature > max[station] || count[station] == 1) {
          max[station] = temperature
      }
  } 
  END {
      for (s in sum) {
          mean = sum[s] / count[s]
          printf "{%s=%.1f/%.1f/%.1f", s, min[s], mean, max[s]
          printf (s == PROCINFO["sorted_in"][length(PROCINFO["sorted_in"])] ? "}\n" : ", ")
      }

solarized··on 3x new books added to the Pirate Library Mirror
Why dont we pay just 1 $ or less for every published books. 1$ * 1 mio reader. that 1 million $. make the payment channel as easiest as possible. all in the digital format.

if readers wanted the printed version, they just go to nearby printing services.

share the income between readers, authors, and publishers.

rather than listed hundreds dollar pricing in amazon. but author just get 10 or 100 buyer. After that the books also ended in the "pirate worlds".
