Stable Diffusion (as used by StabilityAI) has been trained on billions of images, each of which typically requires over a million bits ( 3×8×512×512 > 10⁶ ) to "store" in a way where you can recreate the image.
So if Stable Diffusion were copying the images, it would need at least a quadrillion bits for reasonable quality. (10⁹×10⁶=10¹⁵)
Instead, Stable Diffusion is conditioning less than one billion parameters, so the whole model needs less than 64 billion bits. (6.4×10¹⁰)
That's a ratio of less than 0.000064 model bits stored per input bit. Is it likely that it is storing 0.0064% of every image? No. It is conditioning the model to distinguish between "art" and "noise" and to be able to make input noise look more like the concepts of art that it has been trained on. One can imagine all possible 512×512 images lying in a 786432-dimensional space with the "art" images clustered together in a hard-to-imagine shape. The 890 million parameters of the model are about this shape and how parts of it are associated with certain keywords, not about recreating any particular image.
I'd really love to find a way to grow https://lemmy.ml/ using bird.makeup. I wonder if there is some types of data that I could forward that would help
@mikebrew @awilbert Your server has banned bird.makeup. See: https://social.librem.one/@vincent/110198913931554407

As a Canadian, this is half funny, and half worrying that if a fascist gets to power in the US, they’ll come to “liberate” us from our democratically elected representative
@jwildeboer @sesivany @dexternemrod @hrw nuclear has been displaced by coal in Germany. Coal is also radioactive ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste/ ) but that’s now pumped into the air instead of being stored safely.
And that just the radioactivity, coal is way more deadly in many other ways
I think we tend to overestimate the importance of software design as the main factor in explaining why social media feels “good” to us while underestimating the importance of good people posting good things. This comes to mind as folks wonder if Bluesky or Substack Notes or whatever new platform might be more “user friendly” than Mastodon and then therefore definitely “better.”
@guddl thank you! 😄
@vincent Thanks for https://bird.makeup/ the service is much faster than some others. I like it very much. Threw a few bucks in the hat 🤠
the drm driver works as well and I (re-)discovered one not so terrible use case for touchbar display:
move the kde’s panel to the touchbar, see the mockup in the picture. It’s broken in interesting ways since kde handles it as second display. I got the panel only with tricks to use the full height, applications are not opened on the main display.
It would require integration as auxiliary display.
Well, that's a first.
Achievement unlocked: I have been rickrolled in an academic paper.
@experiencersinternational @thatonecalculator yeah, it’s been like that for a while. I found that there is only @IceCubesApp that displays that accounts are bots as much as I’d like (both in profile and on the home feed)
@thatonecalculator @experiencersinternational that’s some good feedback, thanks!
Re: rate limiting, what did you find was too much? Too many posts, media, replies, accounts? Or more like the traffic was too bursty?
