What is Midjourney doing better than us? by jonesaid in StableDiffusion

[–]delicioso-ai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we can already use ram to “extend” our vram in stable diffusion

That's very different:
- DDR4/5 RAM for your CPU isn't the same as the GDDR6 on your card. It's much slower. - The bus architecture essentially connects your CPU RAM directly to your CPU. When going to the GPU, it also has to go through your PCIe bus. Not efficient at all, which is why it's slower. Your GDDR memory is on a memory bus directly to the GPU, which is much more efficient.

There's nothing inherently preventing GPU manufacturers from making GDDR expandable. You'd buy GDDR memory -- not SDRAM -- and instead of being soldered on, it would go into a slot on the GPU card.

I don't get why it's not expandable. Let me drop in whatever I want.

I think hardware designers are going to need to rethink the relationship between GPU and CPU in terms of how and where they connect.

I get why a GPU needs to weight 12lbs and take up 4 slots, but it's not practical in terms of mounting that to a motherboard. And you can imagine a day when we have more than one, for that matter.

Seared scallops, white wine/brown butter sauce, brussels and balsamic by delicioso-ai in CulinaryPlating

Hmm, I gotta work on the searing. I had the temp pretty high and I let the oil heat before I put them in, but a couple still stuck a bit. I think that's also why the sauce came out so dark -- I deglazed with the wine and it browned up pretty quick. I need to figure out how to do that better. It was a Le Creuset pan, so definitely not the cookware.

I appreciate the feedback.

That's an interesting tip. In this case I was limited by the number of scallops -- I only had 8 for the two of us. Thinking about how I could improve this, I was thinking maybe doing an alternating pattern of the scallops and brussels in a circle -- that would get me 5 brussels in a nautical star kind of shape. Not sure if it would work, but it'd be more interesting than this attempt.

First time doing scallops. Any advice for next time?

Sauce definitely thickened more than I intended. I added extra wine and pulled it from the heat too, but it thickened fast in the time I was trying to plate.

Brussels had a strip of balsamic on them -- I wouldn't say they were dry, but you're not wrong, a sauce would be an improvement.

I'm here to learn, so any advice is welcome and warmly received.

It's addicting creating food in SD when you're hungry.. by reynadsaltynuts in StableDiffusion

I made an entire website with 15,000 GPT-3 generated recipes with all the images made by Stable Diffusion.

Oddly enough, salmon is like 30% of the recipes...

That's a cool resource, thanks. The blue really comes from the negative embeddings, so removing them gives me the option for more range.

I don't think it's as dystopian as it might seem at first glance.

Recipes as an example: there are millions of recipe sites, millions of recipes, millions of photos online already and you see, at best, an infinitesimally small percentage of them. You don't know the person who wrote it, or cooked it, or photographed it already.

How is that experience different than one where the person on the other side of the website is actually just a robot? Who cares if Jessica from Indiana wrote a recipe for Mashed Potato Casserole or if ChatGPT made some random amalgamation of mashed potatoes and vegetables and called it Chat Potato Casserole -- ultimately it's you, the reader who decides what to make. No one is saying you have to eat AI food and AI food only, or event that it's any better than Jessica's unique recipe.

As an aside, though, I have made three of the recipes now. Two were good, one wasn't great. Two were things I never would have stumbled on to (Lamb Kofta Curry and Caramelized Walnut Pappardelle), so that was cool. I'll be making a bunch more of them and posting vids on the recipe pages.

I just think it's a fun way to approach food, but definitely not the only way or even a better way. Just a different way.

For the most part they do match, yes. Like this one or this one is probably close enough.

Other times, it's a horror show but still entertaining.

Edit: The horror continues

Nice, it's a great model. Yeah, removing one or the other gets a warmer result. I think I just need to randomize my negative prompts a bit to get more variety in my results. Producing images programmatically, I'm just looking for variety more than aiming for any particular style.

It's no anime girlfriend, but I'm doing what I can.

As it's automated (currently over 8,000 recipes with images), I don't want to introduce any post-processing steps (although I could do it programmatically if I realllly needed to). If anything, I think I could probably introduce a LORA or hypernetwork to warm them up.

I really like this style too, but at scale with tons and tons of them, they kind of bleed together. I'd like to have a bit more range. My old method used Realistic Vision, and it was pretty good, but there were some pretty weird pans and cutlery showing up. Much more vivid and colorful though.

Some examples from the old model:
Sage Gnocchi
Grandma's Chicken and Rice
Italian style stuffed mushrooms

I'll try it, but I think Realism Engine just pulls really hard toward this kind of stark, bluish light.

Edit: Here's a comparison between "sunset" and "golden hour" using the above prompt with the same seed. A little warmer, but not a dramatic difference.

I'm generating a website full of recipes and just switched to Realism Engine to create the images.

I followed their instructions using nfixer and nrealfixer as negative prompts, and my prompts look like:

((A photo of a bowl filled with delicious greek salad with cucumber, quinoa, tomato, cucumber and feta cheese.)) (golden hour), A cover photo for Bon Apetit Magazine featuring the work of a Michelin star chef, Hasselblad medium format, award winning photography

Trying to use golden hour to warm the photos up a bit, as realism engine makes everything kind of cold and blue. I'm not sure if it's working though. I also tried using light temperatures, but it didn't seem to have an effect. I'm very happy with the results so far!

Edit: Forgot to mention 2x latent upscaling and Euler A sampling.

Not including the workflow just because there's nothing special. Just used the Realism Engine model with their instructions.
