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 ...

Are we slowing down for the weekend? 😛

I do most of my #StableDiffusion image generation using various scripts or GUIs that I created. Each of them store the image generation parameters in the image as meta data.

My latest generation GUI is also an image gallery. It lets me view the images I’ve generated and being able to see the parameters is handy since I can compare various images later and see what model, prompt, and settings were used.

I also do image generation on #Windows (as opposed to #Mac) using #InvokeAI. Now InovkeAI does store the generation settings in the image too but obviously, the keys used to store the data are different to mine.

So my image gallery does not show the settings used when I browse images generated in InokeAI 😛

I got a bunch of coding done and the new GUI working correctly as I liked yesterday. Now I have to figure out how to extract the metadata for InvokeAI-generated images and to display that in my viewer too … It never stops 😀

Hey, folks. Big layoffs at DigitalOcean today, and my team and I were hit. In fact, so was my adjacent team, and a good chunk of my department. I don't have much reach here on Mastodon yet, but if anybody wants to discuss opportunities for a technical editor / writer / manager of same, I'm up for it.

Anybody doing any #Generative #MachineLearning stuff and posting about it as you work on it? Not papers? But just the daily trials and tribulations (and successes) of working on stuff. Have too many #DeepLearning and #MachineLearning accounts talking about their courses and videos and stuff and not enough of the daily stuff …

I miss that … Seeing what other people are working on, the small triumphs, and learning about new ways to do/try things …

If you are out there, hit me up and I’d like to follow you 🙂

I'm excited to be presenting a tutorial for new programmers at @pycon this year. 😊

Have a colleague attending who doesn't (yet) write code? 🧑‍💻

Ask them to keep an eye out for "Intro to Python for Brand New Programmers" when tutorial registration opens up! 💖

Yesterday's Pratchett novel title prompt was: "Snuff"

I didn't really expect much from that one since there isn't a lot to work with there. But I still got some interesting images 🙂

These are from multiple models and so the styles are a little different across images. But still, I thought the end results were interesting ...

This photo was taken in Kenai, yesterday next to the Senior Center and Senior Apartments overlooking Cook Inlet with the mountain range in the background. And of course, there is a kneeling moose eating some grub. This is the area of the state I live in. 💗
