bryced··on Show HN: New AI edits images based on text instructions
It is stable diffusion but yes my fork does not have the memory optimizations needed to run it on only 4gb
bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2 Depth Guided model: architecture photos from dollhouse
> Another interesting (albeit much harder) thing to try would be to take the image output from SD, run it through MiDaS to get a new depth map with additional details. Diff the depth maps in 3d space and update the geometry to match before projecting the image. Combine it with the first suggestion and you would have a process for progressively refining a detailed, fully textured model.

I made a go at this exact approach last night. I'm new to working with 3d data but at least got a mesh rendered from the depth map. Spent most of my time fighting with tooling. Let me know if you want to help out.

bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.1 – renders people again – (Python package for Mac and Linux)
Stable Diffusion 2.1 fixes the bug in 2.0 that caused people to be rendered poorly.

Example of a fun way to make desktop wallpaper (make sure you set the desktop to tile the image):

>> pip install imaginairy

>> aimg

imaginAIry> imagine --model SD-2.1 --tile "fruit salad" "blueberries" "colorful abstract art" "christmas desktop background" -r 4

bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
Possibly. Haven't tried. In principle should be possible.
bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
I don't think it works with anaconda on any OS.

You're probably noticing the newest sampler, which also works with 1.5.
bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
Yeah I tried to get it running but it kept crashing with "out-of-ram" errors.

Good idea to version the notebook.

bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
- text-based masks use a clipseg model. - the boolean mask logic is unique to this library - the face fixing is done by CodeFormer
bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
All the same issues as migrating 1.5 to M1s. It went fast because I upgraded my existing codebase that had those fixes already instead of building of the new compvis one.
bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
It might work on windows but I haven't tested it there.
bryced··on Stable Diffusion 2.0 on Mac and Linux via imaginAIry Python library
Try out the pre-release like this:

`pip install imaginairy==6.0.0a0 --upgrade`

New 512x512 model supported with all samplers and inpainting

New 768x768 model supported with the DDIM sampler only

Not yet supported is the upscaling and depth maps.

To be honest I'm not sure the new model produces better images but maybe they will release some improved models in the future now that they have the pipeline open.

bryced··on Q&A with Emad Mostaque of Stable Diffusion. Formatted Transcript with Outline
> Will AI lead to UBI? (56:09)

> Maybe. It'll either lead to UBI and utopia or panopticon that we can never escape from because the models that were previously used to focus our attention and service ads will be used to control our brains instead. And they're really good at that.

>So, you know, no big deal, just two forks in the road. That's the way we kind of do.

One kind of terrifying comment from the interview.

bryced··on Q&A with Emad Mostaque of Stable Diffusion. Formatted Transcript with Outline
The Q&A was packed full of information. I wanted to make this more accessible if you don't have time to listen to a long recording.

Created with Whisper and a few hours manually editing the text.

bryced··on Q&A with Emad Mostaque (of Stability.ai, Stable Diffusion creator) – 2022-10-10
Super fascinating Q&A with Emad about the future of AI and upcoming model releases.

oh that's great - thank you!

For code that doesn't have good pypi packaging I vendor it using scripts in the makefile
bryced··on Txt2mask – automated object replacement in images (Stable Diffusion)
Thanks for the feedback!
bryced··on Stable Diffusion Text-Prompt-Based Inpainting – Replace Hair, Fashion
the "alpha" is already built into the tooling and specified independent of the mask. IE. the stable diffusion inpainting takes hints from what you leave and "decides" what to keep
bryced··on Stable Diffusion Text-Prompt-Based Inpainting – Replace Hair, Fashion
This python library does the same thing (but didn't get traction when I posted it yesterday):

https://github.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry#automated-replace...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32887385

And I got the idea from here:

https://github.com/ThereforeGames/txt2mask

Which is using the model here:

https://github.com/timojl/clipseg

Clipseg is doing the hard part!

bryced··on Txt2mask – automated object replacement in images (Stable Diffusion)
Really cool new feature I just integrated into this python library: AI object replacement. You just specify something like "replace the fruit with gold coins" and Bam! it happens. Makes editing way way easier. Have fun!
bryced··on Pythonic generation of Stable Diffusion images
For python developers with appropriate hardware, this should be the easiest way to get started generating images.
bryced··on Twitter blocked my account for a tweet I did not make
Doesn't seem very mysterious.

When taken in context it looks like an innocuous tweet but to a twitter censorship algorithm that isn't aware of the context it looks like a command for someone to die.

bryced··on Twitter blocked my account for a tweet I did not make
Seems most likely you replied to this tweet and forgot. Your tweet makes sense in this context.

bryced··on “Amazon’s choice” recommends fraudulent listing
yeah here is another one. why didn't they take down the whole seller? https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Braided-Charging-Syncing-Comp... edit: put correct link
bryced··on “Amazon’s choice” recommends fraudulent listing
1600 reviews, almost a perfect rating. The reviews and questions are about other products like a bread machine. I reviewed the product as 1-star but my review doesn’t show up. I reported this listing to amazon several days ago but it remains.
bryced··on Infinite procedurally-generated city with the Wave Function Collapse algorithm
Minecraft has an add on that does this called “The Lost Cities”

“There are highways, bridges, tunnels, a subway system, tons of dungeons with spawners and loot and so on. ”

bryced··on Backoff: Python function decorators for configurable backoff and retry
Seems very similar to the riprova library. I've found it very useful for asyncio web scrapers.

bryced··on I Have Read Prop F, and It Is a Normal and Reasonable Piece of Legislation
Its like this site didn't exist until a few minutes ago when it was posted here and on reddit. (https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/3n2lxn/i_have...).

- there are almost no search results for this blog on google - there is no way to identify the author - no linkedin - no twitter - no facebook - there is only one other blog post and it isn't linked to anywhere on the net - its easy to backdate a post.
