  • 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…)











  • Yeah. While a lot of people only associate him with “She Blinded Me With Science”, while I do like that song, there are multiple songs of his I like more.

    And people have heard more that he’s worked on then they realize, too. He worked on several movies soundtracks, including “Howard the Duck”, and “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest”. The song “Howard the Duck” had three names credited as writers, but his was one of them. And in Ferngully, he’s credited as writing “Life Is a Magic Thing”, “Batty Rap”, and “Toxic Love”. And I’ve listened to the last two of those a million times…


  • Amiga International gave them the rights to sell it, basically. It’s on wikipedia and other places, so I’m pretty sure it’s legit, though there’s something with another company also owning some of the rights… (And an alternative, mostly compatible OS called AROS.)

    They are giving you WinUAE behind a frontend. Most, but not all amiga emulators are in some way descended from UAE, and a lot of people use WinUAE or FS-UAE, which is apparently easier to use. (Or running on a Raspberry PI, you might want something more specialized for that.)

    Don’t necessarily know the most about it, though. I watched a few videos, got a copy, had a fun time emulating an Amiga for a bit, then got sidetracked, and didn’t quite get back to it…





  • 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…
