There's a fine blog post by @eschaton on Clascal, the early object-oriented Pascal that Apple used to build application software for the Lisa. Check it out: eschatologist.net/blog/?p=314
Once you've learned about Clascal, *why not go a step further and parse it?*
A few weeks ago I released a Pascal (subset) to BASIC compiler at github.com/stepleton/mupas . But why Pascal? It's because I once implemented a language grammar a long time ago and then did nothing with it.
Starting from that old grammar saved me a lot of compiler writing work. The language itself wasn't so important --- if it had been, say, Rexx, I might have written a Rexx compiler. But it wasn't Rexx. It wasn't even just a Pascal grammar: it was Clascal.
If you'd like to parse some Clascal, visit the URL above and check out the files that start with `p`.
(One note for @eschaton : I don't think Wirth was involved with Clascal itself, only Object Pascal --- see articles mentioned on this thread: twitter.com/SciPasTips/status/… )

I personally think that is better than my 2 minutes and 54 seconds of rambeling that I did for my second reading of the spot from the harry potter fan fic.
ok, this one at least sounds a bit better, but I still think I am not setting something right. I recorded a new file of 2 minutes 54 seconds of me just talking. this time not taken from one of my audio tutorials. I told it to read the same thing, and here is what it made this time.
I know I've read this but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. Also, what's wrong with this voice? You, he, it, is a fantastic audio-book narrater. Don't hate lol
@freakyfwoof that actually was my own voice. lol. I just sound so board, and tired! lol. trust me, I don't sound like that at all, meaning board and tired.
@bryansmart @jaybird110127 It's 100% not. The voice I made for myself had my accent, intonation, etc. if you've heard Stephen Fry reading, it sounds like him. My Techmoan thing, sounded like him. None of the pretrained models were UK-based, all US. I strongly disagree with your findings.
@freakyfwoof @bryansmart @jaybird110127 not only that, what about jonathon Mosens he did? it sounded like him too, and if I am not mistaken, it had his accent too.
@bryansmart @jaybird110127 Well just feed it a piano sample, you get a voice probably from the list, but I guarantee my voice is my own. It might be helped out by something else, but it's very clearly not a stock American voice. My clips prove that. Patrick's clips prove that.
@bryansmart @jaybird110127 And again, given that the baseline voices are all American, and my British accent would be considered a foreign accent to US speakers, explain that? I just posted a clip of me reading. Yes, it gently became US in one tiny tiny section, but 98% was my accent. I know it. I live with me every day lol
@freakyfwoof @bryansmart @jaybird110127 I don’t want to upload deepfaked people saying things they otherwise wouldn’t publicly. But its so easy to replicate. Just get a snippet of Fry reading harry potter to eleven labs and experiment. Its definitely very much like him reading.
Okay, well, this is what ElevenLabs voice modeling does with the Echo II speech synthesizer, as used on an emulated Apple IIe. @BorrisInABox @cordova5029
Welcome to the world wide web, an interactive medium in which screen resolution statistics are trivial, browser viewports are variable, and scrolling behaviour is a standard.
The Documentation Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of the Writer Guide and Calc Guide release 7.5, narrowing the time gap between the software release date and the Guides’ release date. The Writer Guide 7.
I am interested in getting these guidebooks distributed to users of @EndlessOS, Endless Key, and Kolibri Studio. I see they are openly licensed (GPLv3 or Creative Commons Attribution), but would someone from the LibreOffice community like to add them to Kolibri, or should I (or someone at Endless OS Foundation) go ahead?
The Calc guide still does not tell users how to see and edit variables. This is important for 2 reasons:
* variables are a very basic & important feature. * no menu path leads to the variable list. * reaching variables is very non-intuitive.
It’s precisely because they are non-intuitive that it’s important to document them. Searching the guide for “variables” has ~42 hits, but none of them tell you how to reach the variable list.
I just want to say I love the cover design! I loved that style in the 90s and early 2000s and it looks exceptional modernized! Better than the boring, flat, “corporate” look of today.
OK, I updated from 7.3, so I probably missed this feature in 7.4, but this is a _huge_ improvement for me. And I just discovered, that I can change the document background, too. Less strain on my eyes. I'm in love! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

When you throw random characters and strange things into #ElevenLabs, it gets quite... Irate, might be the word? Especially if the first slider is set to 0.
I uh… Um… Can’t decide if I just watched some 10 year old trying to stream or a YTP of atomic shrimp with the way the levels were, but this thing dies in a very od way indeed.
um? what the hell was that near the end? yeah, mad might be one way of saying it, or something. that was funny though. I wouldn't mind trying this thing with my own voice just to see what happens. I just need to find the URL for it.
@jaybird110127 I just created my first one, and oh my god do I sound boring as hell! I wonder how you guys attach it to a post using tweesecake? otherwize I would have to just give you guys a dropbox link to download.
@puzzletrailpaul You aught to try it and see. I don't know the movie myself, but if you can find a clear and quiet clip of the actor (actress) speaking, you can find out.
Ever since I've focused on Mastodon over Twitter, the one major thing I've said over and over again that was missing (but I was sure was coming) was a Mastodon version of Nuzzel or Tweetshelf. A tool to find what news links your followers are sharing.
And... @decius has just built one! Just released today, so may be buggy, but already looks amazing and INCREDIBLY useful.
