Sunshine !!! First full day of sunlight today. About time ! The Early morning sunshine was perfect to get the beauty of this female Northern Cardinal. But they are beautiful no matter the weather…#birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #birds #nature #wildlife

Today it's Kitsune...but in fire ! 🔥
which one do you prefer ?

I believe that #Buzzards are doing very well over here... No hike without an encounter.

There's a specific grant or fellowship for everything, so where is the one for a middle-aged retired military PhD candidate in Japanese/military history, staring at the end of his funding, with teenage kids who have Type 1 Diabetes? Asking for a friend.

I have been doing art the last month. I just got lost in terms of what I did when and tracking all that, which I do more for me than anyone else to track progress and such. Hopefully, I'll get some kind of record together today or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'm working on this for the hubs @f. At his request. I have not used animal fur brushes in Procreate before and I have almost zero experience in creating my own weird imaginary creatures, so this should be interesting. I do not promise good! LOL

There are several macOS #StableDiffusion GUIs (besides the web GUIs) out there:

1. Diffusion Bee: https://github.com/divamgupta/diffusionbee-stable-diffusion-ui — the grand-daddy of them all since it has been around since the early days.

2. Swift CoreML Diffusers: https://github.com/huggingface/swift-coreml-diffusers — the original CoreML GUI from HuggingFace which started out a new bunch of UIs.

3. MochiDiffusion: https://github.com/godly-devotion/MochiDiffusion — based on the codebase for #2 but now seems to be hard-forked.

4. Ink Bot: https://testflight.apple.com/join/40gExWSM — No website for the app, only the TestFlight page and some info on Mastodon.

I’ve tried all of the above and have even done my own fork of #2 and added my own features: https://github.com/FahimF/swift-coreml-diffusers/

But of the lot, I think I like Ink Bot the best … provided it had a few more features/tweaks. Unfortunately, since it’s closed source, I can’t modify the code to add the features I want 😛

So either I have to go back to my fork of the HuggingFace UI, or start with one of the other options and add the features I want. But I’m still working on my fork of Tusker (Fediverse client in case the sudden segue is confusing …) to add the features I want there … And I want the weekend for reading/writing.

What do do? I don’t know … The urge to code is hard 😜

And that's a wrap with 11 out of 76 new and updated papers on arXiv under the cs.CV category posted today.

See y'all tomorrow 🙂

"Stable Target Field for Reduced Variance Score Estimation in Diffusion Models. (arXiv:2302.00670v1 [cs.LG])" — A method to improve diffusion models by by reducing the variance of the training targets in their denoising score-matching objective. This is achieved by incorporating a reference batch which is used to calculate weighted conditional scores as more stable training targets.
