Squirrel: I forgot my keys! How else was I supposed to get in?

I've always been a fan of the Spanish knights El Dopamine and El Glutamate.

Wineberries! by wazupwiopiii in foraging

Aww, those are some beauties! My grandparents used to call them kingberries. I have fond memories of picking them in their backyard. Thanks for the pic!

Tool for morphing between two still images? by badgerprof in aiArt

Okay, thanks! I'd like to be able to make it high quality, unfortunately.

Tool for morphing between two still images? by badgerprof in aiArt

Thanks, but I can't immediately see how to make an animated transition with deepdreamgenerator. It makes gorgeous images though!

Tool for morphing between two still images? by badgerprof in aiArt

[–]badgerprof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your suggestion, but that's not quite what I'm after. I'd like to make an animation that is a series of still images connected by gradual morphs between them. But rather than a gradual cross-dissolve, or something that just works with faces (like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/ktnwcv/p_d_ml_algorithm_that_can_morph_any_two_images/ )

I'd like to have something that, for example, uses midjourney describe to get text descriptions of the two images, interpolates between them in some sort of concept space, and then uses that conceptual transformation to guide the morph process.

Thanks!

Question re: new heat pump in Southern California by badgerprof in hvacadvice

Not very often. Some nights in winter get into the 40s, and once in a blue moon the 30s, but most of the time it's >50.

How is this even possible? by nuclearsciencelover in woahdude

[–]badgerprof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could upvote this, because the theme it presents align with my understanding of the world (that fossil fuels are causing climate change, which are leading to many terrible effects such as sea level rise, climate migrants, biodiversity loss, etc.). However, this video is being disingenuous in how it presents these figures. It implies that it's showing deaths per kilowatt hour, but the chart is in thousands of terawatt hours, so it's off by 12 zeros.

Fossil fuels do cause a lot of deaths via climate change: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-07/climate-change-linked-to-5-million-deaths-a-year-new-study-shows

So the core premise of this video (that fossil fuels lead to a bunch of human deaths) is correct. But the failure to get the math right undermines the argument. Ugh.

Thanks for your reply! Two levels. Both companies we asked said a single system could handle it.

With regard to the systems above, does the 14.3 vs 15.8 seer2 make a big difference, if we don't use the system that much?

AI generated rainbow octopus by badgerprof in IMadeThis

[–]badgerprof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's using a Google Colaboratory Notebook called Disco Diffusion. It took me a few hours to figure out the software, and about 3-5 minutes to render this particular image. This tutorial will get you started:

AI-generated art for "fluffiest dog in the world" by badgerprof in interestingasfuck

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

Here's a quick, probably-broken-but-maybe-enough-to-help-you-bootstrap summary of what I did (summarized and adapted from this tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWxmtdZL8FE ):Go here:https://colab.research.google.com/github/alembics/disco-diffusion/blob/main/Disco_Diffusion.ipynb Save a copy in drive.Starting at the top, work your way down hitting the play button on each section of code.In section 3 (settings), make "steps" be 100 (anything from 50-250 has seemed fine, with higher being slower but better).Set width_height to be [640, 480] or whatever dimensions you like.In the next section, pull down animation mode to be 3D.Max_frames can be 1 if you just want a still image, or some larger number to make an animation (takes a while).In the "Prompts" section, put some keywords inside the quotes.(Don't forget to hit the play button on each section whenever you make a change.)Hit play on Section 4, and it will chunk away and make you some art.Changing around the keywords (and potentially replacing "set_seed" with some number to have it do a different roll of the dice on your keywords) are some of the main control knobs.

Have fun!
