I’m also @SweetAIBelle over on Mastadon, and over on fimfiction, I’m:

(And yes, I run or admin a lot of groups there…)
There have definitely been some issues with posts on other instances that are marked as nfsw on their instance not showing up as nsfw here, too. Though it’s been a bit, so I don’t know for sure if that’s still an issue.
If you’re installing Arch, one trick the installation wiki article doesn’t tell you:
If you type “archinstall”, it has a command line installer there that’ll do the install for you, and lets you pick from several desktop environments as well. I’ve had it crash before more than once, so it’s not perfect, but it’s less of a pain then doing it all by hand…
Well, “our CEO just died on our submarine” would tend to be a problem for a company…
I was told accessibility on the registration page was awful by one of my friends on mastodon a few days back.
I could easily listen to a lot of their songs on repeat, so I’m with you there!
I do find the video pretty enjoyable, though the song would still be stuck in my head either way. :P
Yeah. While a lot of people only associate him with “She Blinded Me With Science”, while I do like that song, there are multiple songs of his I like more.
And people have heard more that he’s worked on then they realize, too. He worked on several movies soundtracks, including “Howard the Duck”, and “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest”. The song “Howard the Duck” had three names credited as writers, but his was one of them. And in Ferngully, he’s credited as writing “Life Is a Magic Thing”, “Batty Rap”, and “Toxic Love”. And I’ve listened to the last two of those a million times…
The section that says “Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income,
employment, education, political party, and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.” kinda sticks out to me, too.
I think one thing to remember is that it’s going to be on the XBox Game Pass when it releases. So if you are subscribed to that, you can download it for free and play it before you decide whether to get it or not.
Though, given it’s supposed to be 125 GB, I’m seriously wondering if I want to dedicate that much storage space on my XBox Series S to it…
Whether the original subreddit is reopened or not, there are going to be plenty of people that don’t want to go back to reddit, or never were over at reddit in the first place. It’s possible this one will die off, but hopefully it won’t and will stay its own thing, regardless of the status of the subreddit…
The B-52’s had a lot of good music, actually. I quite enjoyed their album “Good Stuff”…
Checking “Hide Adult Content” doesn’t actually seem like it blocks threads from nsfw magazines. When browsing threads by “newest”, I definitely have multiple explicit pictures from explicit magazines (gfur, petplayyiff, & feralyiff?) I’m not subscribed to show up.
I have heard things previously about Manjaro that make me want to avoid it.
OTOH, as an Arch user, some of the things I feel could use improvement are better with Manjaro. Pretty much every Arch derivative does something about the major pain points of Arch, though, slapping on a installation gui (though, honestly, just advertising the archinstall CLI script that’s on the install usb stick and fixing it up a bit would help Arch), and giving you an AUR helper by default.
I recently tried the XFCE version of Endeavor in a vm, and I quite like it, so if I move from Arch, I’m more inclined to go that direction.
Generally speaking, the way training works is this:
You put together a folder of pictures, all the same size. It would’ve been 1024x1024 in this case. Other models have used 768z768 or 512x512. For every picture, you also have a text file with a description.
The training software takes a picture, slices it into squares, generates a square the same size of random noise, then trains on how to change that noise into that square. It associates that training with tokens from the description that went with that picture. And it keeps doing this.
Then later, when someone types a prompt into the software, it tokenizes it, generates more random noise, and uses the denoising methods associated with the tokens you typed in. The pictures in the folder aren’t actually kept by it anywhere.
From the side of the person doing the training, it’s just put together the pictures and descriptions, set some settings, and let the training software do its work, though.
(No money involved in this one. One person trained it and plopped it on a website where people can download loras for free…)
