A YouTube video showing neural style transfer to paint the Mona Lisa in a wide variety of Artistic styles. Here's a test picture I made of the Taj Mahal in the style of "Starry Night": https://www.reddit.com/r

Is there an easy way to make F-Droid install updates automatically? I use both F-Droid and Google Play on my phone but manual updates are a huge usability pain.

With all of the current discussion I thought this was an interesting video showing the mechanics of "deplatforming" on federated networks like Mastodon.

This was the biggest problem with PeerTube. For Mastodon I clicked the big "join" button on the website and filtered by technology > foss and fosstodon.org was the largest option and seems to have a great community. For PeerTub

I made PeerTube and Mastadon accounts today out of curiosity and was generally impressed. Mastodon especially is quite usable (though obviously many fewer users than Twitter), the interface is as good as Twitter (better if you count not sp

Interesting, I just copied the .torrent file into the Github repo so Google Drive isn't required at all. This is probably a better way to do it anyways.

Just created a torrent with all of the models, and added a link to it in the models section of the README.

I didn't get any notification from Google but this probably means they're throttling the downloads. There's been a lot of traffic from HackerNews (GitHub stars have more than tripled in a day) so shouldn't be an issue in

Hopefully, in the future I'd like to add better support for native installation on other platforms (Flatpak, .deb, .rpm, MacOS, Windows, maybe mobile). If anyone who knows more about Flatpak is interested in helping I would very much a

I haven't written any specific integrations or scripts for translation formats because I don't have a great sense of what people would find useful. Since this is written in Python it would be pretty easy to write a script to batch

Thanks! The goal was to make local-only translation usable. I think cloud translation is still pretty valuable in a lot of cases since the model for one single direction translation is ~100MB. In addition to having more language options wit

Besides some Scratch early on I really got into programming in TI Basic on my graphing calculator and it was pretty great. Minimal learning curve to start writing useful programs, and sets you up well for high level languages. That being sa

Is there an open-source Heroku alternative? I've used Heroku in the past and the "just deploy application code" nature is great for most applications but you're locked in to one vendor. Cloud Foundry?

I wonder what the equivalent would look like for software. Open-source obviously, but what does a "right to repair" look like for a SAAS app? It sounds like this rule is mainly about accessing information about the vehicle so mayb

How has Snap failed? Snap lets you install apps like Spotify easily on linux and in a security sandbox. Also snap doesn't have the main issue listed in this article of every app needing filesystem access. Snap has the personal-file int

I think this is by design. For example, in Qt you use QStrings instead of standard library strings which then allows you to use the Qt system for internationalizing text. C++ is a general purpose language and Qt is a library/framework
