⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

little plugin fixies (sh.itjust.works)

Hola

in the default plugins there are three problems i came across. Since i'm not aware of a git instance where i could create a pull request it gotta be this way.

  1. Memory leak in text-to-speech-plugin

If a textStream is present it is split into sentences and then for each sentence the plugin itself is called (so it'll be handled as string input). But that does not work if the string gets interpreted as "more than four sentences" (L28) in the recursive call making it an infinite loop. An example sentence in my case was "*\nSome text...". In that example in L28 the newline and the ... are counted as individual sentences. The simple fix that worked without problems so far is to change the regex in L28 to /\p{Sentence_Terminal}+/u (notice the +). If multiple of the sentence terminators are detected right behind each other, it'll group them as one.

  1. 'hideStartWith' parameter in ai-text-plugin

The hideStartWith should hide the startWith value from the result. But it does not work for streaming, so chucks and textStream still contain the startWith value. Easy fix is to add && !hideStartWith to the if condition in L490. I would really need this at least for the textStream (which is handled in the 'if') but should be fine for chunks as well.

  1. Heads up notice of ai-text-plugin "forks"

When the ai-text-plugin is "forked" it shows the big red message but the link points to the image plugin. The href attribute was not adjusted, right there in L1 of ai-text-plugin.

Thanks

Thank you! Done. I really appreciate the work you did to find those quick fixes 🙏

When you're talking about "textStream" and such... I'm not sure what you're referring to, and I'm quite familiar with the plugin. Is that only talking about something to do with text-to-speech?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The variable is called textStream. Its a property of ai-text-plugin. It is of type ReadableStream, to create a byte stream. In the text-to-speech-plugin it is used to get the data. I'm not sure about other use cases. I havent looked at many plugins

I've used the AI text plugin a fair bit, but have never seen something called textStream. And it's not listed on the plugin page. Where can I actually find it?
