    No, the issue is when i visited i got a page of senseless drivel (maybe https://lib.rs/crates/iocaine ) with the message i was a bot. There was no way around it except "contact sup…

    I tried codeberg, used it a year, then early this year in all their wisdom codeberg decided to show adverserial random text instead of my repo, reporteldly to mess up llm training …

    Glm5.1 is fantastic for me. But that could be how I use it, I don't ask it to build entire apps or entire features, instead asking it to build piecemeal functionality. For that it …

    Of course the devil is in the details. What you say and the skills needed make sense. It's unfortunately also the easiest aspects to dismiss either under pressure as there is often…

    This is what finetuning has been all about since stable diffusion 1.5 and especially SDXL. And even something StabilityAI base models excelled at in the open weights category. (Mid…

    Interesting notion, I notice the same with image models, less stylistic more blandness on the latest generation. Only MJ seems to have style as a feature.

    I tried it with rust, it's so bad it's simply not usable, it hallucinates methods and even the syntax is wrong at some points (it especially can't get error types correct or seems)…

    I'm more and more thinking a government issued digital identity (like https://privacybydesign.foundation/irma-en/ ) that can be used to proof you're human (and other details of you…

    No worries, you're not alone. I can see it has decent (not great imho) production values, but it's not for me. It's slow and uninteresting, I'm level 2/3 and facing unbeatable leve…

    There's quite a few hosted SDXL platforms (mage.space, leonardo.ai, novel.ai, tensor.art, invoke.ai to name a few) and most consumers do not have the GPUs needed to run those model…

    Well, this just goes to show not all elderly are the same. My relatives would love more remotes and hate more strange non physical interfaces. Controlling lights with voice command…

    At least you got an explanation, I had my Vivid account blocked without one, the only interaction was by chatbot, the only response I got was can't disclose the reason because of c…

    This is why ,as useful as they are, I also loathe llms, so much textual content is endless drivel, either fully created by AI or helpfully rewritten. Of course it's not new, but wh…

    What a weird take. These AIs pretty obviously so work. Sure some parts are surprising, more to me than to experts of course, yet why not take the less understood parts and try to u…

    For code using it like that, I live or as well, no need to try to understand the API docs (if even usable ), just be pointed in the right direction. But code has a pretty strict ch…

    I've been thinking that for months, but recently swung towards being more optimistic about SD again, everything midjourney looks midjourney while SD allows you to create images in …

    It's already possible to tag (parts) of sentences on how tts has to speak them, quiet, excited, etc. Soon it'll be just a matter of what is cheaper, a recording or a tagger/directo…

    There's been this big promise of rocm for ages, since it hasn't taken up ever since, I see no reason for it to do so shortly (it will eventually). Yes rdna3 has ml optimizations, s…

    Ah yes, with all the GPT3 news I thought MSN was using it. Thank for correcting that assumption. Doesn't make the situation any better of course, it's just that MSN forwarding anyt…

    Gossip is presented as gossip, fake news a news (or in this case facts). (I read the article twice, the website being unknown to me I thought it was fake news, and it still seems w…

    See what is happening with StableDiffusion, a model was released opensource, performance in the same league as closed source, usable on consumer hardware and (non AI) techies start…

    Which they aren't intending to do, but it's just part of the fud currently spread around. Rarely have I seen so much fud spread, while also systematically using the least charitabl…

    I'm curious whether this really is "the fastest model yet" there are pytorch optimizations as well. Something like global optimization has been done in pytorch, here's a blog about…

    But that's exactly what happens, AI isn't randomness, it's a set of predefined calculations. The randomness is in the seed/starting point. For e.g Stable Diffusion it is given/user…

    Or wait, if its just about stable diffusion multiple people try to create onnx and directml forks of the models/scripts, which atleast in theory can work for AMD gpus in windows an…
