Probably not this, but your description reminded me of it. Lol

Yeah, the ISP cartels sucks. I’ve been stuck paying $170/mo for uncapped 1000/35mbps connection.
Thankfully, before the end of the year, a local ISP is moving into my area. They offer uncapped symmetrical gigabit, for $75/mo… I’ll be saving $95/mo for BETTER service.
The longstanding ISP cartels should seriously be punished for the abuse of their market positions and failure to appropriately use government funding they’ve been given.
He could not be federally pardoned, no. The State of Georgia can also pardon individuals of state crimes, but this requires the applicant has paid all fines amongst other requirements like being a law abusing citizen for over five years after serving their sentence. The governor cannot pardon.
I feel you, man. 🍻
I like video games, goofy stuff, and tech. So lately, it’s been:
Hey, I thought your post lent itself well to using img2img stable diffusion to create a more detailed version of your 7yo’s drawing and story.
By far, the best result came when I cranked the de-noising level up, but it’s further removed from the original drawing. I used the story as the prompt to give the model (Dreamshaper XL, a brand new SDXL checkpoint) more information.
Here’s an album including the ones with lower denoising values to line up more with the original sketch: https://imgur.com/a/hH9pYE5
Sampling is just how many passes Stable Diffusion makes to generate the image. It makes noise based on the seed and then diffuses it with the prior image in “latent space” as many times as you select.
The first few samples are going to be pretty abstract, but with each pass it can add more detail. At a certain point, additional passes aren’t likely to get much more detail, though, I think primarily due to the limitation of the resolution (512 for 1.5, for example). Instead, the new noise basically pushes the image in a slightly altered direction.
There’s no right answer to how many steps you should use. It’s going to vary between models, seeds, and your prompt. I find 20-40 works best in Stable Diffusion 1.5 based models.
If you generate an image that looks great other than some minor oddities, try adjusting the steps up or down a bit and see if it resolves it. If not, use a seed variation (the “Extra” checkbox next to the seed number in AUTO1111) to keep the original seed, but introduce slight alterations.
I know I’m an outlier here, but I really enjoyed the movie. The CGI wasn’t perfect, but I don’t care. There’s so much CGI in the movie, some was bound to be shite. It’s WB after all, what haven’t they fucked up in recent years? I think the bigger problem is the association with Ezra Miller and this version of Flash being pretty childish and weird.
But I love a good Flashpoint story, and I’m excited about Gunn’s DC.
Relay. And I still miss it. Better than any of the other apps I’ve tried for reddit or lemmy. Very smart design and UX that made it far more usable and enjoyable.
The $160 is a lifetime pass… I pay $20/mo for Netflix. That’s $240/year. So, if you think it’s worth it for even one year, compared to something like Netflix, then it’s a pretty solid value proposition.
I bought the lifetime pass in 2014 when it was $75. Been more than happy with that decision.
Light roasted coffee has more caffeine than dark roasted coffee.
Technically, per bean, more of the caffeine is cooked out of the dark roast. However, other things are also roasted out of a dark roast to the point that the individual beans are also lighter and smaller. When brewing coffee, usually you either weigh your dose of beans out, or you use a scoop for some consistency. Either method will result in more dark roast beans ultimately making it into the brew than would with a (larger, heavier) light roast.
Typically, this more than cancels out the reduced caffeine content per bean, so a brew of dark roast coffee still typically has more caffeine in it.
Any reason to use PiHole over something like Adguard DNS?
Really excited about it. I think their experience with the rocky launch and critiques of their world, story, and endings will only have taught them lessons that will benefit Phantom Liberty.
I enjoyed Cyberpunk even early on, but it definitely felt incomplete. I hope the expansion rounds out the features that were lacking and the world can start to feel more immersive and adaptive to the player’s actions.
The new path tracing looks incredible, and I’m looking forward to doing a fresh playthrough to experience the “complete” Cyberpunk experience.
The default can also be set from your profile settings page.
I think most of the issues we’re all running into are just growing pains. The sorting algorithms will be improved, performance and other bugs will be addressed. Most of us have been here for a day or so. 😅 I’m going to stick with it for a while longer and see what happens. If another service springs up that seems better, I’ll check that out too.
Just can’t really support Reddit right now…
I think it was well executed for what it was, but that ultimately it was a real world location in a post-apocalyptic/collapsed state. Not particularly novel, and being grounded in reality, it’s all very same-y for lack of a better term.
Still loved the game for the time myself and my buddies got into it, but at some point, it just didn’t hold our interest. The game mechanics were very well designed, though, albeit somewhat overwhelming at times.
It looks like there’s a little jank to work out still (physics and animation rate especially). I think the team behind The Division is very talented, but their setting and weapons have been relatively boring. Having them build a Star Wars game makes a lot of sense to me since those aspects are already well established and adored and they can just make a fun game with strong mechanics.
Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.
In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There’s a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.
I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it’s a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it’s a lot of fun.
