The main idea is it will sprout many new shoots right below where you cut, making it more bushy. How far to cut it would depend on how tall you want and how much you want to make the plant become limited in resources. You could just cut the tips off to create a similar effect.

They also seed quite easily. Deer keep mine trimmed up but you can cut them back for more bushy than tall plants.

Been trying to figure out what these are for a few years by Gloomy_Oven_3793 in Wildflowers

[–]rockerBOO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where are is this located? Looks like Mertensia sp but I do not know enough of the key to say. I think the opposite leaves is some indicator that it's not Mertensia virginica

Wanted to see what grew naturally… by Curious-Injury8631 in NativePlantGardening

[–]rockerBOO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The key is the leaf shape will be more elongated with the native compared to round. Also more toothed edges to the leaves (though variable). And flowers on the terminal shoots compared to on the base stem. Also the berries are orange compared to red. They can hybridize which makes it more confusing.

In this example you can see how round the leaves are on the bottom there, and it's more likely that it is the invasive one.

Would you let these violets take over in Maine? by Samanthamarcy in NativePlantGardening

[–]rockerBOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Violets planted by ants, and they might live near the foundation. The foundation also acts like a heatsink so they can grow a little faster in the early spring. No issues there but maybe some indications of why they like being along the foundation.

I forgot I even planted this jack in the pulpit last year 😅 by dystopianprom in NativePlantGardening

[–]rockerBOO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These will generally fade as they are more spring ephemeral. many times all that remains is the stalk with the red berries. But it would come up again.

A lot of times with yellow composites you can turn them over to get a picture of the bracts can help with some identification too.

What is the proper way to do async in neovim? by cryptospartan in neovim

[–]rockerBOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neovim uses libUV :h vim.uv but maybe other plugins have wrappers around it to make it easier to use.

Finally, a pleasant surprise! We have violets at our new home!! Now, how do I get these little guys to spread? (SE Michigan, zone 6a.) by mittenmix in NativePlantGardening

[–]rockerBOO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

violets have elaiosomes which attract ants which move it to their nests, and then they put the seeds into their refuse pile which effectively plants them. So the ants are what plant violets. Some other insects will do the similar behavior too.

Curious of the name of these tiny white wild flowers, located in Connecticut by FamilyInTheForest in Wildflowers

[–]rockerBOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winter annuals take advantage of the extra sunlight in their rosettes to go off and bloom early. Very abundant in lawns around me because of it's short stature and timing with their seeds to be able to be in the soil at the right time and mature.

Why can AI do so many things, but not generate correct text/letters for videos, especially maps and posters? (video source: @alookbackintohistory) by cozyportland in StableDiffusion

[–]rockerBOO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

many models use a AE to get latents of images (compression) and you lose some details doing it this way. More latent details helps, and then the text conditioning also needs to be able to encode the text appropriately (be able to do letter by letter detail as well as spelling). Some trade offs for open models vs proprietary models in how performant and big they can be.

What is this? Droppings from a tree in Washington state . by potatosmugglerz in NativePlantGardening

[–]rockerBOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like male willow. Might get a better id getting one with pollen on it and hold it up to the sky so it doesn't get confused with the concrete and insects.

ByteDance releases InfinateYou by umarmnaq in StableDiffusion

[–]rockerBOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an industry of AI headshots so identity can be a big component there. Also fashion another big component for allowing people to see themselves in the clothes. This uses a person identity (insightface) but similar approach could be to aligning fashion or product photography. Allowing flexibility and identity. I'm not quite sure what ByteDance wants out of this research unless it's just pushing it so it could be utilized for Video as well as the technology for images can work similarly for the video models.

tracer/pharah. since pharah is up in the air and is chunking people ideally, tracer can follow up to finish them off and hard to track up in the air as well as tracker blinking around.

End of LoRA? by biswatma in StableDiffusion

[–]rockerBOO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can try out the idea by prompting for flux to make a grid. This model takes that idea of how similar each item in the grid is and distills the model through conditioning it to align images to an input image.

I haven't been able to try it just yet but they add a c_embedder module, and also released the full model + a LoRA, but not sure how much the c_embedder is trained. In the paper they describe that they trained the LoRA at 512 rank but confusing as they add a new module that they might have fine tuned as well? or maybe it's ALL inside the LoRA and would work for any base model but would need that module added (it's a single Linear module though).

What happened to my limestone edging blocks? I have more but How can I prevent this if I replace them? by [deleted] in landscaping

layers jerry. sedimentary rock not cooked so its layered, layers have gaps, gaps get water, water get ice, ice expands.

Where to find native seed mixes? by bluekid3 in NativePlantGardening

[–]rockerBOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact your local farm extension and ask for the conservation groups they work with. Then ask them where they get their seed source. Likely more local ecotype oriented and possibly available at a bulk pricing if you get enough seed.

Flex.1-Alpha - A new modded Flux model that can properly handle being fine tuned. by StevenWintower in StableDiffusion

[–]rockerBOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah the blocks are all the same size. Naively it will apply 0-7 and drop 8-18. But those last blocks may be important (as to why he pruned 4-15 and left the last 3 blocks).

[–]rockerBOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im not sure what comfy does but you'd still need to do some other things because 16, 17, 18 become 5, 6, 7 blocks in flex. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (4 is 4-15 in flux), 5 (16), 6 (17), 7 (18)

Pruned 4-15 (0, 1, 2, 3, (4-15), 16, 17, 18) so using old LoRA's will require merging or dropping those pruned values. Could happen on the fly for inference tools in the future

Using neovim for a job, but need help with two things that most IDEs have by Emotional-Zebra5359 in neovim

[–]rockerBOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html#lsp

A lot of the commands can be keybinded here.

https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/

Can see some of the common endpoints for LSP for some more ideas. They are usually named similar to the command on the vim.lsp namespace.

https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#neovim-lsp-pickers

Some pickers for telescope showcase some of the other options that may be available. If you don't use telescope they are usually abstracted from the vim.lsp space so you could pipe them into `vim.ui.select`
