VibeVoice is a novel framework designed for generating expressive, long-form, multi-speaker conversational audio, such as podcasts, from text. It addresses significant challenges in traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, particularly in scalability, speaker consistency, and natural turn-taking. A core innovation of VibeVoice is its use of continuous speech tokenizers (Acoustic and Semantic) operating at an ultra-low frame rate of 7.5 Hz. These tokenizers efficiently preserve audio fidelity while significantly boosting computational efficiency for processing long sequences. VibeVoice employs a next-token diffusion framework, leveraging a Large Language Model (LLM) to understand textual context and dialogue flow, and a diffusion head to generate high-fidelity acoustic details. The model can synthesize speech up to 90 minutes long with up to 4 distinct speakers, surpassing the typical 1-2 speaker limits of many prior models.

Files appear to contain information already in public domain as calls grow for release of all pertinent documents

The US House of Representatives oversight committee on Tuesday released thousands of pages of records related to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from the department of justice.

The release comes as the Trump administration has been embroiled in months of controversy over its decision not to release additional files in the case. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges and was alleged to have abused hundreds of girls.

The 33,000 pages included years-old court filings related to Epstein and his former girlfriend and associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as what appears to be bodycam footage from police searches and police interviews. The files appear to contain information that is already public knowledge.

CrossPolitic has in recent weeks hosted pastors who have opposed liberal democracy and pushed authoritarian ideas

The flagship podcast of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), the Christian denomination that claims US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, as a member, has functioned as a platform for the promotion of Christian nationalist and other far-right positions.

CrossPolitic, whose hosts are close associates of Idaho-based pastor Douglas Wilson, has in recent weeks hosted a theocratic Canadian pastor who has called for his country to be absorbed by the United States, and a self-styled “patriot professor” who has backed the rise of Russia and China and the decline of liberal democracies and endorsed the criminalization of homosexuality in Uganda.

The podcast’s themes and guests, and the prestige of its hosts in CREC circles, raise further questions about the extent to which Hegseth’s views on US foreign and defense policy have been shaped by a religious movement that directly opposes liberal democracy and democratic principles including individual women’s suffrage.

windows cercante nell’intera galassia tranne il dove mi serve

Guarda se non bisogna bestemmiare già a prima mattina… poi dicono che la colpa è mia che mi incazzo, e non di Windows che ce la mette tutta per far perdere la pazienza! Ma è possibile che io premo Start sulla tastiera per cercare app, e inizio a digitare “f” perché voglio avviare il mio fottuto browser web, e questo affare mi propone come “migliore corrispondenza“ in cima alla lista non le mie app tra cui Firefox, bensì due risultati da Bing, tra cui il primo è Facebook, ma il secondo è fottutamente Firefox… ma come ricerca web, e non come applicazione da lanciare, che è ancora più sotto??? Cioè, secondo lui è più probabile che io stia cercando per il concetto di Firefox attraverso il web, che non per il fottuto eseguibile residente su disco da avviare per l’applicazione rappresentata da quel nome??? 😭😭😭

Ora, a dire la verità, questa merdata sembra farla solo dopo un riavvio, perché, se adesso o più tardi ci riprovo, la sezione app è in cima, e quindi Firefox è immediatamente selezionato (così come altre app che iniziano con “f” ma continuano diversamente), mentre i risultati di ricerca completamente inutili di Bing sono più in fondo… E sarebbe una cosa che giustificherei pure, se fosse dovuta al fatto che, non lo so, subito dopo il riavvio non fa in tempo a caricarsi la cache delle app installate, e quindi lui va sparato con la ricerca pur di evitare di mostrare un caricamento… e invece non è così, perché le app sono apparse in questo caso, il problema è che sono apparse sotto. E ovviamente, non so quante volte ho frugato nelle impostazioni, ma non c’è un cazzo di modo per disattivare la ricerca web attraverso questa casella di merda, così da farla funzionare, non dico molto, ma come il menu Start di qualsiasi altro sistema operativo desktop degno di questa Terra!!! (Come GNOME, XFCE, KDE, Cinnamon, solo file ed applicazioni, e #mannaggia!) Ma ci sarà una soluzione che non sia installare OpenShell, per caso? 💔

I already don't know what's in it, few varieties of currants, apricots, now I added red and white grapes and some other things added during last two months I don't remember.

It got this overpowering red colour (probably from the currants) that stains everything so that's the colour it will have at the end, the smell is mostly fruity, little bit too much of a mix of everything.

So half of the jar is done another half is waiting for the fall season fruits.

The House of Representatives Oversight Committee published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings and emails.

But Republicans and Democrats alike said the files contained little new information and it is unclear if the justice department is withholding other Epstein records.

from the article:

For several years Sony had offered a free “External Monitor” app that let you use select Xperia-branded phones as an external display for some of the company’s high-end cameras. The Xperia 1 VII originally shipped without that feature, but now you can use the phone as camera display… if you pay at least $5 per month or $50 per year for a subscription.

Not only that, but for older phones that had these features for free, with the new version of the app, some features are locked behind subscription:

But on August 28, 2025, Sony announced an update that “expanded paid plan lineup for greater flexibility.” That flexibility locks a few key features behind a paywall, including:
