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 support" as the message said the

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 to user agents they weren't sure were human. Codeberg h

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 compares very well to chatgpt 5.4 (I haven't exten

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 little immediate payoff, or because it's simply t

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. (Midjourney has always been the champion, but proprietary) Sadly

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). Gpt4 doesn't handle rust perfect eith

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 want) but that can't be

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 level 5 enemies (a hag in a swamp, some

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 models, only enthusiasts do. It's always baffled me tha

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 commands vs a (eventually on a remote) button, button wins 100% of

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 compliance issues. For extra fun trying to get the funds

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 what is new (to me) is users using llms in discussion top

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 understand them, experiment, see what works and why and how,

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 check on correctness afterwards, thinking about it its pretty

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 any style. MJ really needs to get rid of that MJ style,

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/director, and that tagging will be partially automat

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, sure there is even some non public windows rocm bui

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 anything unfortunately is no news to me.

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 weird to me that MSN uses AI generated content, otoh why not,

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 to modify it. The biggest steps/modifications are by s

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 charitable interpretation of anything stability.ai or emad

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 it: https://www.photoroom.co

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 input, resulting in perfect reprod

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 and wsl2

Needed computing power seems a good enough reason to limit it. But I agree it looks too good to be true, only real use will show how well it really works.
