@CitrusGrowersSA I feel silly asking, but can you confirm or deny that an orange in a glass would be considered "full pulp"?

Check out a new ControlNet face model on the hub by @JCatrambone & @DarthMarkov, trained on the LAION-Face dataset it works with multiple faces. I've updated the live conditioning @gradio component, try the official demo here

Not saying I hope Twitter burns, but everyone deserves better:

I'd like to see an open-source 2D printing movement kick off. We have collectively decided the big players in the industry suck but there aren't any good solutions yet.

The Good Place, except it's Valhalla and everyone is trying to be helpful and figure out why Eleanor is there.

"Perhaps you were fighting a battle and didn't know it. Some people struggle their whole lives."
"No. My life was tough but not a battle."
"Did you fight a cold war?"

@Jacobkupp Still my first thought, TBH.

A 'thank you' to @andrewpprice for a fortuitously timed Blender hologram tutorial. Was just the effect I was looking for.

@jerryptang I don't want to diminish the work you've done, but perhaps for the next print you could title it, "Speak Your Mind: Semantic Reconstruction..."

Feels like a missed opportunity.

There's not nearly enough space on Twitter to go into the nuances of state-sponsored conservatorship and the fallacy of absolute liberty, but I do hope that the bill functions as intended. Proponents and opponents alike: please stay sharp + monitor for disfunction.

I'm a little relieved to see SB1338 get signed in to law last week. It's not amazing, but it seems like a necessary step to help people. Despite (still) being an ACLU member and supporter, I disagree with their take on the matter. Cautious props to @GavinNewsom et al. for it.

I don't mean to reinforce anyone's bad habits, but you know when you don't throw away a box because, "it's a really good box?" Guess who just had a neighbor that needed boxes. That's right. Living the dream.

Update on move selection: the AI discovered during self play a pseudo-race-condition where it could pick moves from previous games. (Photosensitivity warning. Marked sensitive.)

@ZachWeiner How about, "I laughed but I wish I would not have because it's mean"?

@ManuelaXibanya FWIW: human respiratory systems are significantly more efficient than insectoids. The latter relies on passive diffusion of oxygen. Your cardiovascular system is too powerful! Walk proud. After you feel better.

Today's misadventures in #Chess #gamedev: the search system has found a way to teleport the knight to the opposite side of the board by abusing unsigned integer arithmetic.

[Joseph Catrambone @JCatrambone]

@ZachWeiner I'm curious about why you're curious. Are you... plotting something? (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

[Joseph Catrambone @JCatrambone]

Fixed the bug in scoring. I was marking counting pieces captured as beneficial for the opposite team. (I.e., white capturing a piece is bad for white.) One character flip later and now the engine is capable of completely kicking my ass. Feels good + bad.
