I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

"Example-Based Sampling with Diffusion Models. (arXiv:2302.05116v1 [cs.GR])" — A generic way to produce 2-d point sets imitating existing samplers from observed point sets using a diffusion model which addresses the problem of convolutional layers by leveraging neighborhood information from an optimal transport matching to a uniform grid, that allows benefiting from fast convolutions on grids, and to support the example-based learning of non-uniform sampling patterns.

@AngelaPreston I hate when that happens. In Sri Lanka, they set off fireworks for anything — New Year, just start blasting fireworks at midnight when some of us are trying to sleep.

Your daughter got married? Set off fireworks.

Your favourite team won! Set off fireworks.

Somebody got elected to office. Cue fireworks.

It’s annoying. Sure, you have the right to celebrate whatever and however you want, but do be considerate of others too?

@at Sorry, didn’t mean that this was feature of FB — just that the author of the app was modelling it after FB messenger, but maybe you got that already and are simply saying that you don’t understand what it would look like?

Either way, I guess since the app is not available yet, it’s a moot point 😛

After 2 whole days of sun, the rain came back.... And this beauty as well.
Now we were both soaked, waiting for the shower to end but she gave me all the time to take a few portraits.

@at Haven’t seen anything which would re-order things … though that would be a great feature 🙂 I did see an upcoming app which allows you to use Mastodon like Facebook Messenger — organised by user rather than posts so that all posts by a given user will appear under their name and you’ll have a list of users instead of a timeline …

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is to create your own lists by subject or groups of users but you’re probably doing that already?

Some mushrooms, moss and lichen from the nearby Beaver forest. BeaverCam only had taken 9 photos so it is staying.

The images show two separate iterations of the same app — the first is a SwiftUI app for doing #StableDiffusion image generation using #CoreML. That took several weeks of work to create and it never really worked right — I could only do single selection of images, couldn’t drag and drop more than one image, and it took a fair amount of time to implement even trivial stuff.

The second is the same app implemented using AppKit. It took essentially one day (yesterday). Multiselection was built-in, drag and drop (for multiple items) was a couple of lines of code, and I implemented a bunch of other things I wanted to do fairly easily.

On top of that, the app feels faster, lighter, and more responsive than the SwiftUI version for the exact same task, using the exact same models.

SwiftUI has a long way to go still, if it will even ever get there …

@AngelaPreston Not a fan of sports but I can relate to listening to the radio 🙂 When I was growing up, that used to be the only form of entertainment — going to the cinema was expensive and was a “special occasion” thing …

We’d wait the whole week for a particular radio drama to come up and so on. I still remember my Dad and his brothers crowded around the radio listening to sports events …

Another D&D session podcast released - traveling through Wildspace.

Our podcasts have shifted to more "cinematic" replays with lots of background music and sound effects.

Hope you enjoy!

Sportscaster: I hope you're all ready for Super Bowl Sunday.

Me: No, but I am ready for Superb Owl Sunday haha

Owl: We get one single holiday and it's just a big fucking joke to you people.

This is a fascinating article on the increasing use of , by Claudia Forsberg for ABC - the way that sound is designed for movies intended for cinema means that it doesn't play back optimally on mobile devices or streaming services - and this is one factor driving the adoption of or .

But, these are often inaccurate or mis-transcribed. They use technology - and this is another case for having good

@icanzilb You need a bit of timeline pruning 😛 I start filtering people and #hashtags when I start seeing stuff on here that I don’t like to read about. Once you do that and follow a few hashtags of interest, your timeline becomes so much better …

Oh yeah, having the ability to filter replies (in case you use a Fed instance which sends you all replies like mine does) helps too. Why get into other people’s conversations that aren’t relevant to you?

It takes a bit more work, but honestly, except for news (both tech and world — though I don’t care much for the world part) I get more content here than I did on Twitter. And once I get rid of the irritants, it is also much nicer 🙂

@Mrfunkedude I haven't been to Yosemite since the '80s - damn, I have to get back there.

My favorite place in the world is Red Rock Canyon, near Las Vegas, Nevada. I always feel at peace there.

"When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women. That's the main conclusion of a new study that compiled information about 20,860 pictures drawn by students age 5 to 18 over 5 decades."
