Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

ArXiv Papers as Audiobooks
I'd like to take advantage of high quality TTS models but I'd prefer it to be one I may host myself.
Haven't found the right way yet, I'm considering: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

Any recommendation for human like voice AI model for conversation AI?
Fast or good, choose one
Mozilla's TTS is a python package installable with pip and uses cpu or gpu resources to render a choice of voices, they mostly sound natural and this is the good. https://github.com/mozilla/TTS
Mycroft's mimic3 is the default voice renderer for the Mycroft project that runs on pi hardware and sounds ok-ish, that is the fast. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3
There are many others but these are the two I use according to if it needs to run on limited hardware or if the cycles fall freely from the sky.
- I used mimic3 in a few projects. It's relatively lightweight for a neural tts and gives acceptable results

Ask HN: Cool and Useful Dockerized Apps?
Recently seeing this testing mailserver linked on HN: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/86/introducing-mailcrab
I was reminded of another useful tool, mimic3 by MycroftAI that gives you very nice TTS: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3
So I was wondering: what other useful apps have been containerized for easy setup and great usefulness?
Basically the point of this question is to let people share these, for the benefit of all.

Text to speech
You could also try the successor but they didn't get around implementing the harvard voice yet and we don't like any of the voices that come with it.

Exploring Bark, the Open Source Text-to-Speech Model

AI-generated sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License
To my knowledge, the model being used for this is "chirp" which is 'based on' bark[1], an AI text to speech model.
The github page for bark links to a page about chirp, which returns a 404 page for me [2]. that the model for suno.ai's song generator isn't too much different than the text to speech model.
My hunch is that it was something like a coincidence that the bark model was capable of producing music, and that was spun off into this product. Unfortunately, there seems to still be issues with bark when generating long (like book length) spoken audio. Which is too bad, as someone who's worked jobs that require lots of driving, it would be awesome to be able to have any text read to me in a natural sounding voice.

Generating music in the waveform domain (2020)
Stable-audio and MusicGen sounds better than Jukebox.
But the best so far is Suno.ai ( https://app.suno.ai ) especially with their V3 model they have very impressive results, the fidelity is not studio quality but they're getting very close.
It's very likely based on their TTS model they have released before Bark, but trained on more data and with higher resolution.

Stable-Audio-Demo
https://github.com/suno-ai/bark
> Bark was developed for research purposes. It is not a conventional text-to-speech model but instead a fully generative text-to-audio model, which can deviate in unexpected ways from provided prompts. Suno does not take responsibility for any output generated. Use at your own risk, and please act responsibly.
I've generated probably >200 songs now with Suno, of which perhaps 10 have been any good, and I can't detect any pattern in terms of the outputs.
Here's another one which is pretty good. I accidentally copied and pasted the prompt and lyrics, and it's amazing to me how 'musically' it renders the prompt:

Suno AI
hahah wow! cool :-)
PS: OT, I am reading this Bark thing(https://github.com/suno-ai/bark). Can I run it locally on a Macbook 2015 with 8GB RAM?

I have it locally. The model is on huggingface. It runs with about 8GB VRAM.
