Quote from: justjeff on April 04, 2025, 05:32:13 PMA friend sent me this link. It looks interesting, though I've only watched a couple of minutes of it.
I would be interested in fnaf hearing the opinions of others on this.
I got to visit the FSSP's Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary last year. It has a beautiful chapel and an excellent environment for the formation of priests.

I noticed you mentioned different methods to save web pages for Calibre. Have you tried using the "Save Page WE" extension? It often preserves formatting really well! What kind of content are you planning to import?

But how do AI images and videos actually work? | Guest video by Welch Labs

cf. Comfy, the best open-source software for doing this, with excellent memory management; in fact, an 8 GB VRAM GPU can do some amazing generative AI videos.

I've seen academic journal articles and dissertations cite it, too.

I really appreciate the tips shared here on saving web pages for Calibre! I actually started using Calibre to organize my e-books, and knowing how to import saves will make things much easier. Thanks for the insights!

Quote from: Kephapaulos on August 31, 2022, 04:43:39 AM
Es mi Rosa bella
del cielo primor, y es de la hermosura
toda admiración;
¡el alba la admire, celébrela el sol!
She is my beautiful Rosa,
a delight from heaven, and her beauty
is the object of all admiration;
May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!

Es en todo tan hermosa
que si mira la atención,
la hallará, cuando la mire,
divino objeto de un dios.
¡El alba la admire, celébrela el sol!

She is so beautiful in every way
that if you look closely,
you will find her, when you gaze upon her,
a divine object of a god.
May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!

Coplas:

En el campo de Los Reyes
donde Rosa se plantó
a toda flor lo fragante
en su natal usurpó.
¡El alba la admire, celébrela el sol!

Verses:

In the fields of Los Reyes,
where Rosa took root,
she surpassed every fragrant flower
in her native land.
May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!

En la gracia de sus ojos,
toales virtudes mostró
que es para todo veneno,
la triaca superior [sic].
¡El alba la admire, celébrela el sol!

In the grace of her eyes,
she displayed such virtues
that she is, for every poison,
the supreme antidote.
May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!

Stumbled on Mind of the Church, part of the same open-source translation movement. Under their Fellows page they list some commendations of which Isidore is included.

General Discussion / WhisperX & diarization

@Strider3000, today I discovered WhisperX, based on faster-whisper. It does diarization!

Also, I'm using the Systran--faster-whisper-large-v3 model.

Sounds similar to @Strider3000's BookTranslation process.
