I implemented Wasserstein-2 style loss (twitter.com/johnowhitaker/status/16…) for my style transfer repo! github.com/crowsonkb/style-transfer… It's higher quality and mathematically more sound than the "normalized" style loss it was previously using.

On the OpenAI API, davinci (or code-davinci-002 if you have access to it still). LLaMA is probably the best model you can run locally. Others you can run locally include EleutherAI's GPT-NeoX-20B, various sizes of Pythia, and GPT-J-6B.

Worrying about a thing and it going well are correlated through your actions. 🙂

It will auto-select the closest aspect ratio out of the three Bluesky allows, you then have to manually click the aspect ratio it ended up as in the post interface.

It makes a .png file that is the same name as your original file except it has _pad at the end. It pads with transparent black by default, if you want opaque white add "--bg 255 255 255 255" to the command line. 🙂

It's a Python script, you can paste it into an editor or download it by right clicking the "raw" button. You need Pillow installed, which you can do with "pip install pillow" if you don't have it already. Then you run it with "python3 bluesky_pad.py <image_to_pad>".

It's actually one of the ingredients of the secret sauce of US technological dominance. Literally a national security issue they're creating. :/

The solution is for everyone who is a billionaire to ensure that sufficient social services/a social safety net exists for them to survive for the week they have to spend without use of their money. :)

You're exploring in your starship, and you notice this *really ominous* looking Dyson sphere off your starboard bow. How do you open?

Even the Ice Maiden, who emerged from her palace of ice, was carried down the river on a fir-tree trunk like a broken skiff. Rivers may not physically have wings, but they possess a transcendental quality that allows them to mirror the spirits of nature…
