You'd think there was a LUT you could apply to the digital copies during playback to make it look (more) like the original...


These days, once you have https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ installed, `uvx --from service-ping-sping sping` is pretty much zero effort to run this software.


Except if you don't like pulling random programs from the internet.


> Is `uv format` supposed to be an alias for `ruff check`?

I'd imagine not, since `ruff format` and `ruff check` are separate things too.


That makes some more sense. I think I just misunderstood what Charlie was saying above.

But I'll also add another suggestion/ask. I think this could be improved

  $ ruff format --help
  Run the Ruff formatter on the given files or directories
  $ uv format --help
  Format Python code in the project
I think just a little more can go a long way. When --help is the docs instead of man I think there needs to be a bit more description. Just something like this tells users a lot more

  $ ruff format --help
  Formats the specified files. Acts as a drop-in replacement for black. 
  $ uv format --help
  Experimental uv formatting. Alias to `ruff format`
I think man/help pages are underappreciated. I know I'm not the only one that discovers new capabilities by reading them. Or even the double tab because I can't remember the flag name but see something I didn't notice before. Or maybe I did notice before but since the tool was new I focused on main features first. Having the ability to read enough information to figure out what these things do then and there really speeds up usage. When the help lines don't say much I often never explore them (unless there's some gut feeling). I know the browser exists, but when I'm using the tool I'm not in the browser.


This is a fun model for circuit-bending, because the voice style vectors are pretty small.

For instance, try adding `np.random.shuffle(ref_s[0])` after the line `ref_s = self.voices[voice]`...

EDIT: be careful with your system volume settings if you do this.


I'll help you along - this is the core function that Kitten ends up calling. Good luck!

I opened a couple of PRs to fix this situation:

https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/21 https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/24 https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/25

If you have `uv` installed, you can try my merged ref that has all of these PRs (and #22, a fix for short generation being trimmed unnecessarily) with

    uvx --from git+https://github.com/akx/KittenTTS.git@pr-21-22-24-25 kittentts --output output.wav --text "This high quality TTS model works without a GPU"


Thanks for the quick intro into UV, it looks like docker layers for python

I found the TTS a bit slow so I piped the output into ffplay with 1.2x speedup to make it sound a bit better

   uvx --from git+https://github.com/akx/KittenTTS.git@pr-21-22-24-25 kittentts --text "I serve 12 different beers at my restaurant for over 1000000 customers" --voice expr-voice-3-m --output - | ffplay -af "atempo=1.2" -f wav -


Ah, yeah, good catch – I added the model-native speed multiplier to the CLI too (`--speed=1.2` for instance).


https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/pull/21/commits/0aacfc...

Nice one, thanks!


`uv run --offline` will use cached dependencies and not check for newer versions. Works for `uvx` too, i.e. `uvx --offline ...`.


This is what stable-diffusion-webui does too (though the format is unfortunately plaintext); ComfyUI stores the node graph as JSON, etc.


Why even `git clone`? With a properly packaged project, you can just `uvx --from=git+https://github.com/akx/bindl.git bindl`


`UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT` works fine for that. That's what I use for my venv-managing Fish functions: https://gist.github.com/akx/c357bbda9facbe41f08747a2622795c4
