Good to see something new from Stuart Semple — the guy who made the “blackest black” (Black 2.0), which everyone except Anish Kapoor can purchase… https://www.thecollector.com/vantablack-anish-kapoor-stuart-...

Yes, seems to be an issue with CloudFlare's JS challenge page interrupting the resource request: https://github.com/mjackson/unpkg/issues/343 I was able to hastily fix this in production by migrating to

Roger Penrose & Stuart Hammeroff’s “Orchestrated Objective Reduction” theory [1] is fascinating and really captured my imagination when I came across it. But like almost all scientific theories tackling The Hard Problem, it’s built on t

I wrote awful untyped PHP 5.6 code for many years, using CodeIgniter and a very basic editor. Fully embracing PHPStorm, strict_types and EAInspections completely changed me as a developer. I hated them at first, just getting in the way and

I use `match` like this a lot now, often with PHP 8.1's enums[1]. It makes it easy to write clean dynamic accessors, without all the extra blocks required with multiple `if` branches: /** Check the status of this Task instan

This is really strange, and is being handled very badly. RunwayML are an official partner of Stability AI. Stability has been delaying the release of their 1.5 model for several weeks now, citing unspecified "legal concerns". Runw

What does “without filters” mean? The only filter I’m aware of is SD’s NSFW filter, which can be switched off anyway. Are there others?

Same for me. A mug of British tea will rehydrate and refresh me a bit, but a cup of black coffee makes me ready for a nap in 30 minutes!

Midjourney's recent upgrade was largely thanks to integration with Stable Diffusion. Somehow Midjourney's images still retain a more "premium" artistic feel to them though.

The tables looked fictional in the first screenshot, but after seeing the rest in the replies I’m not so sure. There are enough relevant tables for an app of this scale to make this seem pretty legit.

Check my comment alongside yours, I got Conda to work but it did require the pre-requisite Homebrew packages you originally recommended before it would cooperate :)

Brilliant, thank you! I just got OP's setup working, but this seems much more user-friendly. Giving it a try now... EDIT: Got it working, with a couple of pre-requisite steps: 0. `rm` the existing `stable-diffusion` repo (assuming you

I believe the branch which adds support for Apple Silicon also adds support for running on Intel chips (albeit extremely slowly). I haven't tested it myself, but I've seen several people in the GitHub issues saying this.

The general consensus I’ve read on HN is that the IA is pretty clearly guilty. But they’re the ones seeking the summary judgment in their own favour. Hence I respect their position, for taking a moral stance despite not having much of a leg

From what I understand, they broke the terms of a legally-binding contract with the publishers. They were allowed to act as a “digital library” — and lend out copyrighted works for free — but only one “copy” of the file could be released a
