"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.

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.

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

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 …

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.

I only go to Legoland for the discount plastic surgery.

This is a fascinating article on the increasing use of #subtitles, by Claudia Forsberg for ABC #Ballarat - 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 #ClosedCaptioning or #Subtitles.

But, these #Subtitles are often inaccurate or mis-transcribed. They use #ASR technology - and this is another case for having good #voice #data #voicedata

"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."

Opera is going to use #ChatGPT to shorten articles — so that people have to read less and think even less —, Microsoft is building ChatGPT into their Office tools — again, less thinking —, we already have ChatGPT in search engines ..

So this is how the world ends — everybody growing stupider because we are too lazy to think for ourselves, and not with a bang?

I guess SkyNet did arrive but not in the way we thought … 😛

axo.dev is finally hiring rust devs again -- one or two people to help me with cargo-dist (and other tools we're spinning up related to it I GUESS): https://www.axo.dev/jobs/rust-engineer

For those of us outside the Dole/Chiquita hegemony, bananas can have a variety of tastes — sweet, sour, bland and all the other stuff in between 😛 So when you say “water bugs taste like banana”, which banana are we talking about?

I just migrated to a new instance, which is a good occasion for a formal #introduction.

So, hi! I'm wrapping up my PhD in #sociology; I use digital and #computationalsocialscience methods to study experiences of community for #LGBTQ / #queer people and places.

I've done lots of work with #Rstats / #tidyverse, and I'm getting better with #Python, especially for #nlproc and text-as-data methods as they relate to applied social science questions.

Can't promise to be super active on here while I'm dissertating and interviewing for jobs, but I might share some snippets of my in-progress stuff.
