This seems to be really high quality judging by the demo's. Not had time to try it for myself

I tried it. Sounds absolutely nothing like my voice or my wife's voice. I used the same sample files as I used 2 days ago on the Eleven Labs website, and they worked flawlessly there. So this is very, very far from being close to "Eleven Labs quality" when it comes to voice cloning.
The speech generated is the best I've heard from an open source model. The one test I made didn't make an exact clone either but this is still early days. There's likely something not quite right. The cloned voice does speak without any artifacts or other weirdness that most TTS systems suffer from.

Was somewhat annoying to get everything to work as the documentation is a bit spotty, but after ~20 minutes it's all working well for me on WSL Ubuntu 22.04. Sound quality is very good, much better than other open source TTS projects I've seen. It's also SUPER fast (at least using a 4090 GPU).
Not sure it's quite up to Eleven Labs quality. But to me, what makes Eleven so cool is that they have a large library of high quality voices that are easy to choose from. I don't yet see any way with this library to get a different voice from the default female voice.
Also, the real special sauce for Eleven is the near instant voice cloning with just a single 5 minute sample, which works shockingly (even spookily) well. Can't wait to have that all available in a fully open source project! The services that provide this as an API are just too expensive for many use cases. Even the OpenAI one which is on the cheaper side costs ~10 cents for a couple thousand word generation.
The LibriTTS demo clones unseen speakers from a five second or so clip

No, this is not MIT. If you don't like MIT license then feel free to use something else, but you can't pretend this is open source and then attempt to slap on additional restrictions on how the code can be used.
Yes, I noticed that. Doesn't seem right does it

Great stuff, took a look through the README but... what are the minimum hardware requirements to run this? Is this gonna blow up my CPU / harddrive?
Not sure. The only inference demos are colab notebooks. The models are approx 700mb each so I imagine it will run on modest gpu

Just tried the collab notebooks. Seems to be very good quality. It also supports voice cloning.
> Suddenly, the monstrosity of infinity, long feared by mathematicians, could no longer be relegated to some unreachable part of the number line. It hid within its every crevice.
I'm vaguely familiar with some of the mathematics, but I have no idea what this is trying to say. The infinity of the rational numbers had been known a thousand years prior by the Greeks, including by Zeno whom the article already mentioned. The Greeks also knew that some quantities could not be expressed as rational numbers.
I would assume the density of irrational numbers was already known as well? Give x < y, it's easy to construct x + (y-x)(sqrt(2))/2.
I don't get what "suddenly" became apparent.
