  • Generally speaking, the way training works is this:
    You put together a folder of pictures, all the same size. It would’ve been 1024x1024 in this case. Other models have used 768z768 or 512x512. For every picture, you also have a text file with a description.

    The training software takes a picture, slices it into squares, generates a square the same size of random noise, then trains on how to change that noise into that square. It associates that training with tokens from the description that went with that picture. And it keeps doing this.

    Then later, when someone types a prompt into the software, it tokenizes it, generates more random noise, and uses the denoising methods associated with the tokens you typed in. The pictures in the folder aren’t actually kept by it anywhere.

    From the side of the person doing the training, it’s just put together the pictures and descriptions, set some settings, and let the training software do its work, though.

    (No money involved in this one. One person trained it and plopped it on a website where people can download loras for free…)






  • If you’re installing Arch, one trick the installation wiki article doesn’t tell you:
    If you type “archinstall”, it has a command line installer there that’ll do the install for you, and lets you pick from several desktop environments as well. I’ve had it crash before more than once, so it’s not perfect, but it’s less of a pain then doing it all by hand…










  • I think one thing to remember is that it’s going to be on the XBox Game Pass when it releases. So if you are subscribed to that, you can download it for free and play it before you decide whether to get it or not.

    Though, given it’s supposed to be 125 GB, I’m seriously wondering if I want to dedicate that much storage space on my XBox Series S to it…






  • It seems a little early to declare them inactive, really. This magazine is 2 weeks old, and given when the blackout started, a lot of the ones in question are 4 days old or less. Not having any activity yet is understandable. And I could easily see deciding to do some of the prep work later after getting a few 503 errors.

    I’d say if there’s a community you particularly want to do well, post some content there yourself. Volunteer to help out. See if the person who created it is willing to add you as a moderator.

    Some of them probably are dead, since the creator could easily have been trying things out here and decided it wasn’t for them. But I’d say to give people a chance to return…
