I'd start with VITL14 and add one or more RN types. I personally like to use multiple VIT and RN models just to fill up VRAM. What exactly will fit depends on your output resolution and requires a lot of trial and error. I always have Task Manager open to monitor VRAM usage. In general, VIT = more realistic, RN = more artistic. It can take a lot of experimentation to find what exactly tickles your fancy. I constantly change which models I'm using depending on what I'm going for. This redditor did a nice comparison[0], and there are many more "studies" for which models to use - you can google around, there are new articles/studies being posted daily.

You can also try disabling use_checkpoints if you have extra VRAM, since it will render a bit faster (but uses more VRAM since it doesn't save intermediary 'checkpoints' to disk).

When/if you get bored, try disabling use_secondary_models which will use a lot more VRAM but can deliver results on a completely different level. You will likely struggle for a few days figuring out which parameters to tweak to get good results (e.g. tv_scale, sat_scale, etc, which are otherwise AFAIK ignored).

In any case I recommend reading A Traveler's Guide to the Latent Space, which I call "The Bible" since it covers so many topics and has links to various studies and will keep you busy reading for months ;)

Also check out the Discord for Disco Diffusion and Visions of Chaos, as you can read endless tips and tricks to getting amazing results.

Have fun! :)

I don’t need to own it. I just need my neighbours to agree and elect politicians who agree.

NIMBYism doesn’t require ownership to succeed. Just that the existing population resist.
To be fair to big tech/software, it was the thing that me work from home, for some people (like my mother) that probably saved their lives. Not to mention all the digital services I relied on to keep some semblance sanity. I was stuck in a 300sqft apartment with my girlfriend for months but was able to talk with friends, family, watch movies and play games. None of that would have been possible without tech. You’re right that pharma ended up saving us, but it’s a bit pithy to totally dismiss what tech gave us.
>> he is a NIMBY when it comes to his own home.
As a parent I also prioritize cleanliness and low crime over pretty much anything else. The difference between Marc and I is that I don't pretend to not be a NIMBY. If this causes me to be labeled online as a sad frightened person, so be it.
You're proposing a false dichotomy: that we either go back to an agrarian lifestyle or accept the status quo.

Technology is a good thing. Industry is a good thing. We can keep them.

What we don't need is the ruling class. They take the lion's share of the resources, and they don't do anything useful to justify what we pay to subsidize their pampered existences. We can rip them out and things will still work.
Licensure of physicians in the U.S. is controlled by medical associations through state licensing agencies. They have an incentive to limit the number of people who receive licenses to practice medicine.

I just searched amazon for the title plus "paperback". Now that I look at it again, it says "by MAN (Author)" whereas the hard cover is "by Richard McElreath (Author)", so it's looking possibly scammy to me now, so caveat emptor...
This really isn't the case. Federal sentencing guidelines for white collar crime are pretty much determined by the amount of money involved in the crime.

Now what is probably true is that the sophisticated professionals probably end up with lesser charges, and therefore lower sentences than outright security fraud. That's not for lack of trying, but simply because it's generally pretty hard to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt against someone who's done both a reasonable job at covering his tracks and has access to high-powered defense attorneys.

So what really happens is the Wall Street trader might do insider trading on say $100 million. But the evidence trail is pretty nebulous, the case would drag on for years, and a US Attorney doesn't want to waste their career making case on a highly uncertain case. So the hedge fund manager settles for a civil "failure to supervise" fine. (Even Michael Milken wasn't convicted of insider trading, but the lessor crime of 'parking'.)

In contrast the dipshit amateur does something stupid like leave a trail of text messages with his golf buddy, and then buys a weeks worth of volume in thinly traded out of money call options. The case is open and shut and they get nailed on the full charges.
No matter how many times you toss this word salad, it falls to the taxpayer. I paid my student loans off in full and on time. At the time I owed a loan amount equal to about 25% of my annual salary. If one borrows the money, they are obligated to pay it back. If they believe they were defrauded by the institution, that’s between them and the institution, not between them and the government. Maybe the government should just “forgive” my mortgage as well. My car payment? My monthly utility bill? The expectation that government will remediate one’s bad decisions is the road to serfdom.
Indeed, there are lots of cloud storage providers. The pricing concept of C2 Object Storage is to make it as much as simple, and to let users retrieve as much data as they have stored for free every month. In general backup and restore cases (,and also cases with moderate download traffic demands), you only need to pay for the storage fees (without additional hidden charges).
I am sure we are relative ruffians to wealthy people. Simply could be the difference between executives and entrepreneurs to whiny employee types like myself.

What is their profit per employee ignoring employee compensation? That tells you more about how much they can pay employees.
Great idea, let’s put it next to your well.
There is no "leaving on very good terms." There's either "eligible for rehire" or not. That's it. Yes, for that particular manager in his/her particular mood, you might be this great guy who will be missed, but no one else will give a rat's ass.

If you think you have a good shot at getting severance out of it, tell them you're leaving. Otherwise, keep quiet and leave when you have a new job lined up.
But why would they give you severance if you're going to leave of your own accord anyway?
You want geology that is expected to remain stable for eons where the material will be secure from both intentional and unintentional excavation, for eons. And, more immediately, concerns over ground water contamination. Even cities like LA get some of their water supply from wells. And, more rural areas are often served by 100% ground water.

Finding sites to safely and permanently dispose of nuclear waste has been hard. Both because a lot of areas are poorly suited, and also nobody wants a permanent nuclear waste dump in their back yard.
> the US Navy lost two submarines

The Thresher was a subsafe accident (a problem with one of the weld joints that keep the hull from being breached at depth); it had nothing to do with the reactor.

The Scorpion's root cause wasn't a reactor problem; note that "reactor problem" is not one of the hypotheses listed in "theories about the loss" in the Wikipedia article you reference.

Just to give you another perspective, it seems like they're not building low-income housing, they're just building denser housing than is normal for the area ("multifamily overlay zones").

As someone who lives in the Bay Area, guessing that if they went ahead and these were actually built, the housing/rental prices of these units would still be ultra high. Yeah, housing is so bad here, they'd probably just to attract young tech workers or people with at least decent jobs.
Of course they have the same root and etymology. Of course they do not have the same meaning, look them up in the dictionary. A private parking spot is not a privacy parking spot.
I don’t think that fact has been established. From what I’ve observed with Midjourney and Dall-E, the defects in the output of these models are more artistically significant than just mangled faces and missing details. The models don’t understand the styles they are aping, and they don’t understand the elements of visual art in a way that allows them use those elements in the service of an expressive goal. I think it’s quite plausible that we plateau to a point where the user of these systems still needs significant technical knowledge (drawing and painting) in order to correctly specify the requirements to the model.
Sure but these functions would be trivial to define in one's own code base if they so desired.
Generated content doesn't necessarily need the output to be entirely algorithmically generated. It'll probably initially use real people as meat puppets - with things like AI generated filters, scripts and prompts in order to generate content that hits the right niche, then use the recommendation algorithm as a fitness test - no need to autogenerate video content if people will do the hard bit for free.

Kind of buried the lede there. Two pages of text followed by "Don't do this, it's unsafe!" is poor form. At least the author shows it in a host-specific configuration.
> I'm also certain that Ford has a long way to go before I'll even consider swapping my 35-year-old diesel F-250 HD for an electric hauling rig(1)

It's not as if they're unaware of it. Their CEO even said that for some users, an electric truck won't work. From https://archive.ph/6Deq6:

> Farley emphasized that Ford plans to continue investing in gasoline-powered vehicles, noting that the Super Duty pickup trucks generate huge revenue for the company and battery technology isn't yet advanced enough to pivot.

> "If you're a Super Duty customer towing 10,000 pounds in Montana or on the north slope of Alaska," he said. "An electric vehicle is an awful solution, the batteries are too heavy."
How are you seeing hydro "destroying the earth?". New Zealand has a lot of hydro and we don't appear to be destroyed, as of yet
Mixes are great. I think people are underestimating the ability of batteries, though. With the new 30% ITC in batteries (and rapidly declining costs), expect to see a lot of new utility-scale batteries over the coming years. We could see 100% of the generation come from solar if we have reliable battery storage; in many areas the bottleneck on getting solar installed is cannibalization risk and interconnection times (i.e. transmission lines / transformer access), not economics. Batteries are what get us from 20% generation (during peak daylight hours) to 95-100%.
> exactly where he was at Enron

I'd hardly compare being CEO of a crappy startup with 2 news articles about it to one of the largest multinational corporations in the world. You can probably find some shit fund to work for with an insider trading conviction but you won't work for the big boys again.

> but I also don't know how I ever get to be paid 10-20k/hour

There are former felons who now lead nonprofits (I'm sure with 6 figure salaries) [1]. I quote: "In its third year, Just Leadership has a staff of 20 people and a $7.5 million budget for 2018–2019"

If people still decide to pay the guy after he's committed fraud, that's on them.

I'll also note Fastow went to prison for 6 years so it's not like he just paid a fine and got off. And the only reason it was 6 years instead of double digits was he informed on people.

Absolutely not. We know what happens in the worst case, so in this regard an abundance of precaution is most certainly appropriate.

As to how far you go to ensure safe designs, that's a question, but I don't think it's appropriate to 'assume the best' in this case, given the huge potential downsides. And I'm someone who's pretty supportive of modern and safe nuclear!
In this spirit, I think Tiktok would actually be a tremendously good matchmaker for finding either friends or romantic partners. I think a lot of their recommendation AI actually figures out what you might like ahead of actually showing it to you, by trying to sort you into a cohort of people with very similar tastes. Which is why as a new user its sometimes scary how Tiktok can almost predict what you might like. E.g. people into cars, 30-40 yrs old, rural probably also like DIY.

The whole discussion over "rolling release is stable" never gets concluded because people are not agreeing upon what they talk about. Here are the basic facts that the discussion should be based on:

* "Stable" is not a binary property - it's a scalar. The exact level of stability assumed by the word can be different depending on the context.

* By design, rolling releases are less stable than regular releases. You simply can't beat the stability of something that doesn't change.

* People have different stability requirements. You don't expect something works on your own laptop to work in every occasion.

The compose file is declarative for clarity, so instead of fighting it, do the things you want to do at other levels. Variables? Pass in some env vars. Conditionals?

I feel like I’m in a different dimension here. I thought this guy JUST raised millions from a16z for some shitty crypto startup, but absolutely nobody brought that up when talking about Flow. So I had to go google it, and sure enough, it did actually happen.

Marc was wrong to promote YIMBY, and should be roasted for opposing neighborhoods defending and defining their character and culture. Nothing wrong with wanting a say in your neighborhood's development. We should let everybody who owns their own home to NIMBY, not just rich people and investors.
Seems like a dodged bullet. There is little to no constitutional protection for free speech in Australia and defamation is routinely employed successfully in fairly speculative situations (for example, politicians, as public figures, suing journalists they don't like). Every time a question comes up like this it is genuinely an unknown what the court will do and no clear precedent suggesting they weigh potential broad impact of decisions heavily in their judgement.

So this could easily have come down the other way and we could have a precedent suggesting potential liability for literally anybody who links to anything.
Between pumping and dumping shitcoins associated with dubious crypto projects and this nonsense, A16Zs brand has been completely destroyed among my circle of programmers. And it isn't just Andreesen.

I'm not someone who is against crypto by any means, but this BS with pushing crypto projects to poverty level retail investors has to stop.

Even with those statements, I think Ford is seriously sugarcoating the issue. It seems that the F-150 Lighting is basically a vanity vehicle at this point.

To be fair, that (vanity vehicle) is probably at least half of the F-150 market today anyway. I don't have a problem with Ford putting on a show to make money. But if The Verge is going to work in a Ford showroom, they should at least be up front about it.
