The paper is not super-well written, it kind of hides the underlying idea (which is pretty simple) and doesn't show it clearly on page 1. What ever happened to the good old article-writing rules that you need to present a summary of yo

Getting OT here but at least the end-user cost in that case is some kind of "normalized impact on society" if you're looking for a number to compare different busts with.

Yeah the particular item of the focal length is not as important than hinting in the prompt that you want a photorealistic pic in general. Still the conditioning guidance has a lots of terms and maybe it can tip it in a good direction at so

You're just prompting it wrong. Try adding qualifiers that have well-known associations with pro-level photography. For example these two makes your prompts incredibly much better, append either "Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Sigma 85mm f

Didn't exactly that happen, didn't Tom Brady put his life savings in FTX? :/

Wiping out the recipients immune system and transplanting a donor system is in itself a common (advanced) practice since long, so the new part here is the tweaking of the donor system. Very interesting.

Telegraf => InfluxDB => Grafana is also a well-known stack for monitoring which I like See for example this (that also mentions Prometheus): https://stanislas.blog/2018/04/monitoring-telegraf-influxdb-...

The training-set was nerfed really good as well, it wasn't just OpenCLIP that was replaced. They will successively re-admit more training data during the 2.x releases I guess.

Well it's not just the pro-AI articles, its most new articles on the web today. It has been for some time now, google top results for IT questions (for example) are always GPT SEO spam sites and you don't figure it out until after

Like Tesla might do with their upgraded autopilots and seat heating? They have also started talking about subscriptions for these, don't know if they actually have implemented it yet.. I think all luxury manufacturers will experiment w

During the 80s the pixelized sprites were drawn to be as realistic as possible given the inherent limitations, but when you make a retro-game now, you probably want to target the de-facto aesthetic itself, and then my guess is you don'

"It just spits out the training set in random configurations (ish)." is a pretty gross misrepresentation and oversimplification of how such a model works, akin to saying a human artist only spits out whatever they saw earlier in t

Yet Another Recommendation: borg backup to a local server daily, then rclone to S3 (or another cloud provider) to backup the whole local backup server repo weekly or something...

by l33tman 4y ago
Most backup systems allow you to explore backups and extract individual files. Testing a bunch of files for restoring is at least better than completely ignoring it.. however it's difficult if it turns out part of your backup is simply

Why would you, though? It's just a list of 5B URLs. Some might go down, some new might go up. But it's not like any government body can suddenly take down all photos on the whole internet...

Yeah true, I like dalle-mini :) It did seem to understand the prompts better. The training set also affects it, as the guidance signal competes with the diffusion-model's priors it learned from the training set (the cfg_scale) and I&#x

by l33tman 4y ago
The reason you can't get the images you want from it is not because of the noise diffusion process (after all, this is probably the closest similarity to how a human gets a flash of creativity) but the lack of a large language model in

The autoencoder that maps between that and the 512x512x3 RGB space was trained together with the model, so it is specialized in upscaling the 64x64x4 info to pixel space for this particular purpose. It's "just" a factor of 48

$600k was the off-the-shelf market value of the GPU time spent. They got this time at a much lower rate (according to the founder himself) and for the PR and fame they got, that money is ridiculously little. Somewhat tangentially, I specula

Well very many people think it's fun to watch sports or other competitions regardless of if a robot could do it better. I don't think anybody cares about if its "solved" or not, it's just fun to see humans interact

by l33tman 4y ago
Stable Diffusion only cost $600k to train. It's hardly Big Money, and for those $600k you have a revolution in digital art, image processing, stock photo generation, FUN, etc. taking place right now that is insane, and it has only been

Yeah there is already textual inversion and other ways to "prompt" the models coming up. I do think pure human-level text will stay (and evolve) as a way though. Stability AI already released an updated CLIP model (the language mo

It hasn't got anything to do with the keywords actual meaning really... all of this is just to map the 7000-dimensional internal description space in SD to something we meagre humans can input and output. You can leave it free, but the

by l33tman 4y ago
SD has 860M weights for the main workhorse part. At 16-bit precision that is only 1.6 GB of data, which in some very real sense has condensed the world's total knowledge of art and photography and styles and objects. It's not a se

I think it was donated by AWS or something. This is not a scenario where it makes sense to buy and maintain your own server park of GPUs, when there is a race to the bottom already with cloud-based GPU rentals.

You get 4-9 images at a time and it takes literally 2 seconds to look and decide which to save. Saying it's "unusable" because you CAN get bad images is missing out..

by l33tman 4y ago
As it takes a lot of iterations, curation and knowledge about how to best steer the systems, most users (rightfully) feel some sort of creativity and skill went into the works even if the AI did the pixels, except if you're really luck

by l33tman 4y ago
You can find lots of buggy images with bugs in all possible ways. But the vast majority of the images have consistent shading, perspective, and even global illumination. Some of it can be done in "screen space" (as in some standar

I have to strongly disagree with you on this, I can walk around in my (small) city in my mind in 3D without any problems. Anybody who's ever had a dream would concur as well. It's absolutely not true that humans can't think i

The current image generators certainly know about 3D internally. It's not put there explicitly but the wealth of knowledge they possess and the perfect lighting and shadowing and material reflections compared to the tiny amount of weig
