Sorry, didn't check back here for a few days. There absolutely can be German Shepherds!

These are the initial generations before upscaling/processing. Generated with Bifrost Project (SDXL model).

Here are a few more I made with Bifröst Project. It can handle generating in 1280x1024 which is pretty nice. I don't really like the square format that much.

Glad you liked it. Here's one more for the road! ::: spoiler Expand Maybe he's not in perfect shape but that's not going to stop him from enjoying li— I mean being activated.

No one expects the laser from the back.

They say war changes a man. I guess that goes for poodobots as well.

The messed up powerlines were annoying me, so here's one more attempt.

Sure... It's a bit hard to get pitbull, lab and robot to all come through clearly but I tried! (I also took it easy on you and didn't make him too pitiful looking.) First image is the completed version, second one is the initial 1024x1024 generation.

Not bad, but he looks a bit too upbeat for this thread. Let me fix that for you.

edit: I did the other one for fun also.

He seems very helpful and willing to give you a hand.

Any requests? I can make various dog breeds, wolves, foxes, whatever it takes to completely extinguish the joy in your heart.

Bonus white Dobermann and Siberian Husky pup.

That is the worst site I've seen in a long time. Do yourself a favor and add

to your uBlock rules before following the link. If you don't have a way to block elements, may $diety have mercy on your soul.

Then it’s a cat-and-mouse game between the anti-adblock tech and the anti-anti-adblock tech.

My money (not literally though :) is on the anti-anti-adblock tech. That can be crowdsourced and generally adapts much faster than big companies.

Probably the furthest man made object from Earth at this point for sure.

The article says "Scientists believe compression heating caused the cap to vaporize as it sped through the atmosphere."

You can read as much Ayn Rand as you want with perfect understanding and you're not really going to learn anything.

Fans? Customers yeah, but fans?

They actually did at one point, but they threw it all away.

Smaller models (7B down to 350M) can handle long conversations better

What are you basing that on? I mean, it is true there are more small models that support very long context lengths than big ones, but it's not really because smaller models can handle them better, but because training big models takes a lot more resources. So people usually do that kind of fine-tuning on small models since training a 70B to 32K would take a crazy amount of compute and hardware.

If you could afford fine tuning it though, I'm pretty sure the big model has at least the same inherent capabilities. Usually larger models deal with ambiguity and stuff better, so there's a pretty good chance it would actually do better than the small model assuming everything else was equal.

The article seems to repeat the same stuff over and over again.

On Lemmy, a popular social networking site, user KerfuffleV2 astutely noted that the article repeated points that had already been stated in the article.

"It seems like the article repeated the same content multiple times" said KerfuffleV2, a user on the social networking site Lemmy. "Perhaps they get paid by the word." the user added.

A rather uncreative article on thestreet.com triggered some snarky online comments including one from a user named KerfuffleV2. This user noted that the article repeated the same content multiple times.

Can you provide an example where science cannot explain a situation, because I can’t honestly think of any.

Not OP, but there is some stuff. One big example is qualia. How does matter give rise to actual feelings, experiences of things? This isn't something we can measure directly and it actually seems like it won't be something we ever can measure. Might also be able to use something like "what was there before the big bang?" and that kind of thing.

Of course, the fact that science can't explain something doesn't really justify falling back on magic as an explanation though. Some stuff just may not have an answer.

Pretty sure it's mainly non-furry non-gay hackers that take down the majority of websites.

From dealing with their support in the past and stuff they've accommodated, I wouldn't be surprised if you could just ask them to do it for a small amount like that. If you do a web search, you can also find a lot of information and people claiming it's possible to do stuff like transfer it to a Paypal account, etc.

I haven't tried to do that personally, so maybe it really just isn't possible. It's still only something that will affect someone that's never going to spend money at Amazon again, right? If I'm going to spend $5.99 at some point, it's effectively the same as a cash refund for me. If I'm going to spend $10.99 at some point it's almost the same as getting double the refund, since I would have spent cash instead in those cases.

Do we need to be more efficient?

I mean, it's usually a beneficial thing. Using less resources (including land) to produce the same amount of food is probably going to mean less environmental damage. In the case of switching to vat grown meat it also means not torturing billions of animals every year.

We have the resources to feed everyone on Earth and have leftovers

Sure. No one starves because the food just isn't on this planet, they starve because the people who have it won't give it to them. That said, we're also not using resources very sustainably so saying we produce enough food currently isn't the same as saying we can continue this way.

We could also increase efficiency even further by reducing meat/dairy consumption.

I don't eat any animal products so you can probably guess this is something I'm strongly in favor of as well!

Anyway, I was just responding to what I quoted not specifically arguing for 3d-printed foods. Depending on how it's implemented, it may or may not be better environmentally than the status quo
