nowadays creatives, designers & artists be having to understand things like this.. #mindblown 🥲🧐💯

After stacking the add-on modules, this is the final neural network architecture diagram for the augmented SD - now with superpowers in creative control.

Training is simply supervised on specialized datasets: new visual modality + text captions -> images.

FYI "The version of the PostScript source code released to the public by the Computer History Museum is a very early version, dating to late February 1984."

#TIL 𝑑𝑢𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑒 means “dark doldrums” in German.. “it chills the hearts of renewable-energy engineers, who use it to refer to the lulls when solar panels and wind turbines are thwarted by clouds, night, or still air.” 🌤🪫https://t.co/ERBG7weYxA

@digitalcoleman software tools these boards come with are often PC-only and have a terrible UI, but after tweaking a few settings to configure the board(s) once (for a particular LED panel/setup), the rest of the legwork can be done by your own / open source software & protocols like ArtNet

@digitalcoleman it’s been at least a couple of years since we looked at the options, but couldn’t really find one to compete with the inexpensive Chinese hw, which is relatively easy to source from Amazon (or AliExpress, etc. of course)

[aeolab @aeolab]

@digitalcoleman hi Chris, are you looking at controllers with video input (most Chinese brands support this), or HUB75 options in general?
