Stable Diffusion is a new “text-to-image diffusion model” that was released to the public by Stability.ai six days ago, on August 22nd.

It’s similar to models like Open AI’s DALL-E, but with one crucial difference: they released the whole thing.

You can try it out online at beta.dreamstudio.ai (currently for free). Type in a text prompt and the model will generate an image.

A lot of people commenting think that removing nudity form the training is fine, as it just makes the model safe for work, but it actually hurts the generation of non-nude humans as well. Significantly. I use the f222 model as my main general-purpose model, because it generates better clothed humans than SD1.5. The f222 model is based off of extending SD1.5 to have more knowledge of nudity (so the total opposite of the direction SD2.0 went). This actually makes f222 better at making humans IN GENERAL. The f222 model knows a lot more about the shape of humans. It's not perfect, but what f222 needs is just even more body types and ugly folks, but it's not completely lacking in the ability to generate those either. It definitely does have a bias towards pretty people, but it is not near as overwhelming as some of the other models.

Here's a good one I use a lot:

Everyone! It’s almost the end of the year. It’s nearing that time when we arbitrarily decide we’re going to turn over a new leaf; start a new great habit. But so many of us embark on this process…

Using either the plus, the minus, or the forward arrow, you assess nine different categories:

Health and Fitness

Emotions and Spirituality (how did you connect with your inner self?)
Money and Finances

“Not a day without a line”, or in its latin version “Nulla dies sine linea”. It comes from the Ancient Greece painter Apelle (4th century BC), who was one of the most famous of his time.

It enables one to steadily build and strengthen one’s unique relationship with creativity. At the intersection between the art of habits (doing something regularly — every day here) and the habits of art (drawing or writing lines), I find this motto to empower core aspects of the relationship to drawing practice:

• Befriending creativity by focusing on regular process over outcome
• Improving one’s craft by focusing on quantity over quality
• Creating one’s very own art by weaving life and art
• Going to the essence of expressiveness in a single line

ffmpeg has been described as the Swiss army knife of multimedia. It incorporates hundreds of video, audio, and image decoders and encoders, muxers and demuxers, filters and devices. It provides a CLI and a set of libraries for working with its tools, and is the core component of many video and audio players as a result (including my preferred multimedia player, mpv). If you want to do almost anything with multimedia files — re-encode them, re-mux them, live stream it, whatever — ffmpeg can handle it with ease.

The best deck stains can revive a weathered deck while adding protection. See which stains came out on top in our hand-on testing.

SaverSystems #1 Deck Premium Semi-Transparent Stain

The product is suitable for use on all softwoods, but the manufacturer suggests letting high-oil softwoods, such as redwood or cedar, age a minimum of 1 year before applying #1 Deck. This gives the natural oils a chance to dissipate, so they don’t interfere with stain absorption.

Defy Extreme Semi-Transparent Wood Stain

A pressure-treated wood deck can look worn or exhibit a slightly green tinge, but Defy Extreme Wood Stain can change that. This semi-transparent stain is available in a selection of realistic-looking wood tones that impart rich, uniform color while still allowing the wood’s natural grain to show. The new tone can counteract the greenish hue that often lingers on pressure-treated lumber.

This ukulele lesson covers how to get good tone, playing with consistency & dynamics, using a slide on ukulele, proper muting technique & more.
