While I don’t like neutering an artist’s vision in the name of conformity or commercial pressure, it’s generally a wise business practice to avoid deliberately offending your potential audience. I suppose a healthy gaming franchise needs new users to thrive, and maybe toning down the excess will broaden the game’s appeal.
Intuitively, that’s how I assumed it already worked, and it’s probably what most new users will also expect. But a single global identity also runs counter to the idea of decentralization, and could invite other further complications.
The current experience can still be pretty jarring.
Strafefox’s account of the game’s development, if anyone hasn’t seen it:
The superior app experience may end up finally tipping the scale on my perpetual indecision between Lemmy vs Kbin.
Looking forward to the performance improvements.
The key driver of this advancement in composition for SDXL 0.9 is its significant increase in parameter count (the sum of all the weights and biases in the neural network that the model is trained on) over the beta version.
SDXL 0.9 has one of the largest parameter counts of any open source image model, boasting a 3.5B parameter base model and a 6.6B parameter model ensemble pipeline (the final output is created by running on two models and aggregating the results). The second stage model of the pipeline is used to add finer details to the generated output of the first stage.
SDXL 0.9 is now available on the Clipdrop by Stability AI platform. Stability AI API and DreamStudio customers will be able to access the model this Monday, 26th June as well as other leading image generating tools like NightCafe.
SDXL 0.9 will be provided for research purposes only during a limited period to collect feedback and fully refine the model before its general open release. The code to run it will be publicly available on Github.
If researchers would like to access these models, please apply using the following link: SDXL-0.9-Base model, and SDXL-0.9-Refiner. Please log in to your HuggingFace Account with your academic email to request access. Kindly remember that currently, SDXL 0.9 is exclusively intended for research purposes.
Designed by none other than the legendary Susan Kare, apparently.
It’s been a good run, and best of luck with future endeavors. Mlem established a good standard of design and usability for others to strive to attain.
Next to each thread’s post, you should see an instance specified in parentheses, such as
(lemmygrad.ml). Click that item to list other threads from that host, as well as a sidebar box that says Domain. Click the “no smoking” type of button to suppress everything that domain produces. I think.
Verify it worked by going to your user’s settings menu, click the blocked tab, then the Domains link.
Complete the effect by combining them with a wristwatch broadcasting your heart rate and the transfixed stare of Apple’s goggles.
Though related, it’s often conflated with regular expressions as a concept. On that note, services like RegExr let you test patterns and their effects visually.
Die Auswahl ist eher begrenzt, aber die Bücher, Zeitungen und Zeitschriften des Goethe-Instituts sind kostenlos:
It’s a paid app only available for Windows and Mac at the moment, but Fork may be worth a look: https://git-fork.com
And that’s probably the wiser assessment, given their other activities. Here’s the relevant part of that NYT article.
But Meta said it saw no reason to keep its code to itself. The growing secrecy at Google and OpenAI is a “huge mistake,” Dr. LeCun said, and a “really bad take on what is happening.” […]
“Do you want every A.I. system to be under the control of a couple of powerful American companies?” he asked. […] Meta’s open-source approach to A.I. is not novel. The history of technology is littered with battles between open source and proprietary, or closed, systems.
Sounds troubling. But not all of their actions turn out to be completely nefarious, and this could represent a genuine effort to contribute to the next generation of infrastructure. The emerging network protocol appears to offer an opportunity for both non-profit and commercial ventures.
Encouraging progress. Though I’d suspect that clearing the backlog alone may not resolve the problem some users have had with a perpetually stalled signup attempt.
Gnome and some KDE applications used to offer tear-off menus that could be positioned anywhere, similar to NeXTSTEP and its derivatives. Seemed like a neat idea that still deserves some consideration.
