drdiddlybadger, to nostupidquestions in Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

You should be able to but remember that aspect ratios and framing are done intentionally so what is generated won’t be at all true to what should be in scene once the frame is there. You’d be watching derivative media. Upscaling should be perfectly doable but eventually details will be generated that will not have originally existed in scenes as well.

Probably would be fun eventually to try the conversion and see what differences you get.

The luddites were right tho

If you’re gonna use a new technology to churn out cheaper goods. Great. If you’re going to charge me the same for these goods and keep all the profits while still mis treating labor, fuck that.

This is pretty much Glaze 2. It just intentionally poisons the data set with specific targets so model is more fucked. Originally it was just noise being put in and ultimately a image that had been glazed would just get tossed. With this, the image will actually fuck up the resulting model of there is enough poisoned data included.

Probably, I’m not an expert obviously.

drdiddlybadger, to linuxmemes in It's really not that hard
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

It appearantly helps with SSDs so unused blocks aren’t clogging things up. Not sure I fully understand what dropping unused blocks does but I guess it could help with performance?

Damn. I find it incredibly difficult to trust any company that takes issue with this statement. They’re calling for an end to a genocide and get punished for it? Shit sucks.

Are we seriously going to lose access cause if so someone needs to crack the acquiring company in half.

drdiddlybadger, to asklemmy in What made you determined to leave Twitter?
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Too much Nazi shit and other forms of bigotry really. I just stopped posting my artwork there entirely and now post on bluesky and mastodon. Sometimes I use Facebook network shit to assure family that I am alive.

Perfectly valid.

@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

No advice to offer but tell us about your trip when you get back that sounds cool as hell.

drdiddlybadger, to gaming in Volition (Saints Row developer) shuts down
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

You know it’s pretty likely the most experienced people left long ago. It would explain a whoooooooole lot.

@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

They made a lot of bad moves after a while but the saints row series and their other games were pretty baller. Sad. Hope the team all find good stable positions after.

drdiddlybadger, to news in California sues Chino school district, aiming to end policy notifying parents of student gender changes
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

We don’t have time for school districts to be wasting with culture war bullshit anyway. This behavior must be penalized heavily. Petty tyrants can’t just force everyone to to live the same way they do.

drdiddlybadger, to opensource in Open Source, hardware and software, 3D-printed planar magnetic headphones powered by a Raspberry Pico
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

I want to buy a pair just to support this kind of thing. It’s pretty cool.

drdiddlybadger, to datahoarder in Backblaze increases storage costs to 0.6ct/GB or 6$/TB, but offers free downloads
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

I’m okay with this I only use them as one backup. Seems pretty reasonable with all the other prices hikes on energy and rent.
