I’d have loved something like that.

I’d personally have liked them to have not let that go, and have a whole character arc with Harry struggling with the knowledge that none of them are the same people he knew, though they act identically, differentiating between things he did and the original and so on…

Resetting back to status quo after events that should have had a lasting impact is one of these things that bothers me in Voyager.

Well, to be fair, their original Harry Kim is dead, making the current one the newest member of the crew until 7 of 9 shows up.

And for all we know, the ship records may still show him as dead, therefore unpromotable…

Well, you know, thinking about it, an awful lot of Kes’s life revolves around Neelix and the Doctor, with occasional training by Tuvok. I suspect a lot of her dialogue was about one of the three…

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…)

Yeah, and I love the original as well, which has a great music video.

I’ve also pretty fond of the music video for George Harrison’s “This Song”…

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.

The Owl House. Though, given that it was cancelled and season 3 compressed to three double length episodes, I’d make the extra season a replacement season 3, and rework those episodes into part of the new season. There were definitely montages in those episodes where you could feel them practically saying “and here’s several episodes we could have written, if we had time”.

(Not to mention the infamous dialog about “maybe if we had time for 20 more adventures” near the end of season 2…)

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.

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…

I’d also suggest that using a different model (Deliberate 11, in this case), changing the prompt a bit, and using a negative embedding can help, even at 256x256.

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.
