Five unlikely solo wins of Bitcoin miners in 2025 At a time when Bitcoin (BTC) mining is dominated by large-scale mining farms with advanced, specialized hardware, the odds of a solo miner striking the so-called digital gold are astronomically low.

Meet VoXtream: An Open-Sourced Full-Stream Zero-Shot TTS Model for Real-Time Use that Begins Speaking from the First Word
Real-time agents, live dubbing, and simultaneous translation die by a thousand milliseconds. Most “streaming” TTS (Text to Speech) stacks still wait for a chunk of text before they emit sound, so the human hears a beat of silence before the voice starts. VoXtream—released by KTH’s Speech, Music and Hearing group—attacks this head-on: it begins speaking after the first word, outputs audio in 80 ms frames, and reports 102 ms first-packet latency (FPL) on a modern GPU (with PyTorch compile). What exactly is “full-stream” TTS and how is it different from “output streaming”? Output-streaming systems decode speech in chunks but still…
