I am not entirely sure that I have. And often wonder if I ever will feel it is truly, once and for all, all behind me. A few things have been helpful though. • First, the obvious Quitting the jobs that burned me out. Avoiding, like the plag

I often try to do the same thing. But usually end up regretting it. From these experiences, both the successful and the failed ones, come a few gripes against most low-code / no-code tools. To name a few: - Often poor, or completely ab

In short, depression, to me, was total and absolute hopelessness. Burn out, on the other hand, brought me dread, anxiety, exhaustion, and the feeling of being trapped in a pointless but never-ending cycle. If I were to dive into more detail

So could one use SD + ControlNet for composition, then Midjourney image to image for the final result?
550.
by ElFitz 4y ago
That, and also simple image to image. Using a simple drawing of single colour shapes as the original image and a good prompt, one can get quite far in terms of composition. The desert dome city still blows my mind every time I think about i

I think you may once again be missing my point. Your point of view seems to be that of wealthy or semi-wealthy and relatively stable nations, without massive rampant corruption. And sure, for those, it may very well work. Who am I to even h

I have only argued one thing: since there are many countries barely able to manage their own power grid, if even that, and since no sensible nation will want to tie their grid to such countries’, an international energy market isn’t a solut

And that’s how everyone’s power grid ends up affected by some dispute in the Balkans. There are more than a few countries nobody in their right mind would ever want to tie their power grid to.

I had some fun with a similar approach, but when generating large outputs, or retrieving large contexts, it can easily run into the context window limit. I think this could be partially solved by intelligently summarising parts of the promp

What board? Midjourney has no investors. No shareholders. He’s only beholden to himself. And proud of it.

Who said anything about a US state? It seems to be the sales tax (GST) applicable in India for iPhones & iPads. Plus customs duties.

Quite nice, but by definition limited to the stacks it covers, isn’t it?

Having not been around when Python gained in popularity, and having mostly been using Node.js and Swift, this is actually quite interesting. Thanks!

Even better. When provided with your context (use case, models,…) it can adapt its answer to it. Although that can also lead to hallucinations, it’s still quite wonderful.

There are countries where you could put all the signs in the world, and people just would not care. For better and for worse, France is one of those.

Providing the sources is a nice touch! I really like it. Providing supporting excerpts too would have been nice. Isn’t publicly hosting some specific content on S3 and providing links to it risky though?
