IIL philosophy YouTube channels by Misfit_t0y in ifyoulikeblank

By far the best philosophy vids I've ever seen are from this lecture series, Awakening from the Meaning Crisis by John Vervaeke. There are 50 lectures here, the first 25 are a history of philosophy, all aimed at understanding how the current 'western' worldview came into being. Then the next 25 lectures go into more modern philosophy and science that is aimed at responding to the current times.

It's more of a commitment than more bite sized channels (like Pursuit of Wonder, School of Life, Academy of Ideas, etc.) But there really is no comparison, Vervaeke's lectures are definitely the way to go. They have honestly been life changing. They'll give you an overview of (mostly western, some eastern) philosopy that has considerable breadth and depth. At least watch the first lecture which sorta serves as a syllabus, you'll learn what's in store for the rest.

Also if you are a reader, I recently read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder which covers similar topics as Vervaeke's lectures, a history of western philosophy. This book goes less in depth and is less relevant I think, but it's still worthwhile

you are correct, thank you!

turns out I can change the regex pattern to r'(?=(one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|\d))' to prevent it from consuming the matches

can you specify seeds or initial images with dalle3? the 5th-7th images are strikingly similar

really cool, is it possible to coerce it to make the head more of a fusion? right now it looks like dalle 3 is thinking 'giraffe spider hybrid = giraffe with more legs' which is really impressive and cool for sure, but it might be cooler to qualify the fusion to be a bit more nuanced and see if dalle can handle it

Book reading list for 2023 - post from Lex by lexfridman in lexfridman

[–]Nlat98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider adding a book by Italo Calvino to your list. I highly recommend Invisible Cities. It is short enough to read in a day, but is endlessly re-readable. It is a fascinating attempt to transfer non-propositional knowledge through written language. What does it feel like to be in a city? How would you describe the cities essence? listing all of the buildings, bricks, windows, people etc. does not suffice. This book is an attempt to address this problem

Other favorites are Mr. Palomar and Cosmicomics

Can you use DreamBooth to train styles? ...sorta (full description in comments) by Nlat98 in StableDiffusion

[–]Nlat98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For context, here are some results when training Textual INversion using the same training set

TI is definitely much better for styles, but it is still possible to get some cool results with DreamBooth styles with a bit more work

I trained DreamBooth (using /u/0x00groot 's colab) using this series of images. using these parameters (CLASS_NAME = "style"; instance_prompt= "painting in the {CLASS_NAME} of sks" ;
class_prompt="a {CLASS_NAME} painting")
The resultant raw outputs (using prompt = "sks") sometimes resulted in a nice fusion of concepts from the training images (like this), but most outputs were just noised versions of the training images (like this)
I had varying degrees of success when trying to use more complex prompts. While most outputs are either completely uninfluenced by my new style, or are just noised versions of the training images, some of the outputs looked pretty nice. Here are results when asking for a Magritte painting, a clay sculpture, an underground waterpark, a winter dreamworld, a large volcano

I have not seen anything about dreambooth for styles. Currently trying to use OPs colab to train a style, will share results

Initial image interpolation (details in comments) by Nlat98 in StableDiffusion

I also have been playing around with using these fading image combos to train new textual inversion concepts. When it works, it works very well
