How does generative AI create convincing lighting in images?

I believe lighting plays a very important part in making a scene realistic when it comes to creating one artificially, like in 3D modelling. That is why I also think the lighting of these AI generated images is the prime source of what impresses people about these images since no matter how unrealistic or distorted the subject...

Sethayy ,

To get a bit more technical, they build images in passes; each becoming more coherent than the last. This gives thsm a boost to understanding understand how ‘things’ relate to one another, knowing them by nothing but that relation. Light + light source being an example, and the angle of lighting being another deeper layer of that a - completed on a less noisy pass.

This is how its able to build images from its training parts, it sorta understands how each of them relate to some things, so its able to sorta organizes an image of random noise each pass, eventually creating a ‘unique’ image inspired by its training data.

It also gives it that perfect image you mention, cause its specifically trained to look like what looks good to us - its essentially a function optimised on nothing but.

I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)

Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...

Sethayy ,

I’m not 100% confident but I thought you could use portals to access individual files outside of the sandbox

Sethayy ,

Makes sense, but at least this would generally be out of a normal users usage case (multi-file documents), and so the power user could probably just open flatseal.

For things like bookmarks it’d work fine, and by extension make the sandbox more secure

Sethayy ,

Cause a lot of people care more about feeling comfortable than feeling statistically probable.

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? (old.lemmy.world)

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

Sethayy ,

Is it not common just to make something when you want it?

Maybe I’m too Canadian to understand but do you usually go out for meals?

Sethayy ,

I mean its not the exact same crisp but a small layer of oil in a standard pan’ll still beat waiting months I’d argue

Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Article textNewly-restructured Swedish conglomerate, Embracer Group, will leverage AI models to bolster game production. As noted in Embracer’s annual report, the company has adopted a new AI policy package it claims has the capability to “massively enhance” its production process by “increasing resource efficiency,...

Sethayy ,

They mention using it in HR to enhance employee retention, which is… pretty damn dystopian

Sethayy ,

Learn Godot game engine, free and fun to just mess around with a physics engine too your PC melts

Sethayy ,

Sounds like the monopolized industry isn’t right for the users

Sethayy ,

Video content? YouTube’s made it all but impossible to compete with their free offerings, for the cost of server upkeep alone

Sethayy ,

The cost of server upkeep alone

Sethayy ,

Same as Walmart killing off every ma and pa shop is their fault, they lowbid the competition solely because they’re able to with their monopolization, solution being actual competition in the industry.

Can’t help but feel your goal posts are sentient with how much they’re moving.

Sethayy ,

I guess thats a good example, when have I claimed to have a solution?

Im just saying they have a monopoly, but if I could scale up to YouTube size economically, I’d probably be doing it instead of arguing about it online

Sethayy ,

Adblockers existed so google took it out on all of Firefox, the collateral being a win-win to their monopoly

Sethayy ,

Funny enough this ‘slop’ is compliance, but hey you seem to think you’re mega dev supreme so I’m sure you already knew that

Sethayy ,

I currently have a setup exactly like this, with a threadripper 2950x, an RX 6600, and a 2070 super.

Let me know if you have any questions in the specifics, but its 100% possible

Best part of this setup is being able to connect to both via sunshine on many displays at once

Sethayy ,

I have a rack server in the garage with a gaming PC in it, 2 PSU’s and the 2 GPU’s mentioned, all running on Debian (which I soon plan to swap to nixos).

The AMD GPU’s is passed through to a windows VM with 8 gigs or so of ram, for VR development in the garage usually, but sometimes is streamed as well.

The second Nvidia GPU goes to my linux machine on Ubuntu just for ease of patched nvidia drivers, a couple virtual monitors with an xconfig like this, and is my daily driver with 16 gigs of RAM.

Both use Virtio drivers for disk, network, and anything else I’m forgetting, Pcie passthrough via KVM/QEMU on the host.

I’d say the latency hangs around 5ms when streaming both at once, and never comes close to saturating the gigabit connection, but I’m sure some optimisations could be done somewhere along the line.

Clients run on anything from an Xbox series X to a random PC, hopefully soon an orange pi (worried about latency though).

When I have a workload requiring both GPU’s I just keep 2 moonlight windows open and use the keybinds to unfocus the mouse then alt+tab to swap between them.

I don’t have any complaints, although one time when my thermal setup was worse I left 2 copies Subnautica running for my wife and I to at Nitrox together, and it did start to drop in fps on the Linux machine once we picked it up after an hour or 2 running the games AFK.

Edit to add I’m mostly using this for gaming right now, but its handled everything (within reason) that I’ve tossed at it, but I’m planning on soon setting up this sometime soon also across a couple other PC’s, but as of right now the VM’s feel as if they’re entirely distinct PC’s from an external perspective

Sethayy ,

If you don’t want the card I wouldn’t be against buying it off you for a bit more than an rx590

Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important (www.techdirt.com)

The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...

Sethayy ,

As will small artists to companies.

Shit even the value of art would be intristic to am individual, almost impossible to capitalise on, but totally viable for an individual working directly with people

Sethayy ,

Woah do you even use a keyboard??

None of those over here since the 80s

Sethayy ,

Me putting a 4 TB 3.5" HDD in my phone

Sethayy ,

You got me there

Sethayy ,

Probably along the lines of ‘its bloated and too many dependencies’.

Though most flatpaks use a common base, any modifications on top of that sometimes need to be stored modified (now having 2 or more copies of one dependency)

To anyone that’s not a Linux nerd the app looks about the same size as on all other OS’s, but on Linux it makes it a lot larger than just bare bones installing it via package manager

Sethayy ,

Amputee’s have climbed Everest, doesn’t mean its the easiest way to

Sethayy ,

Probably never?

Next you’re gonna be judging cars on their ability to float.

Open source follows an entirely different risk model (and arguably much more effective than throwing money at greedy companies)

Sethayy ,

Me with SELinux hardened podman in a VM, running an offline Minecraft server😳

Sethayy ,

Oh no you know what it feels like yo be a woman for 5 minutes, the horror

Sethayy ,

But also like your economy was golden compared to the current, at even fairly reasonable housing prices its still gonna be far out of most budgets for the foreseeable feature.

How bout you try and be a good parent and give your kid their best life regardless of things out of their control?

Sethayy ,

They had it bad for sure but has the rate of decline really slowed?

Like sure buying a house is impossible, but shit that was a recession or 3 ago - and every single one has just pulled homeownership higher.

As easy as it is to say ‘back in my day’, I think its important to look at it numerically to avoid the mistakes of our ancestor’s (since at least baby boomers, but realistically probably even longer)

Sethayy ,

Yeah but honestly without implementing ‘one true philosophy’ I can’t see any ground to stand on where they shouldn’t be allowed to.

What if god comes down tomorrow and says ‘the fuck you guys are keeping babies instead of killing them?!?’

To us we really got no frame of reference of an absolute ‘good faith’ or bad, so enforcing it just seems like encouraging abuse of the system.

Sethayy ,

‘Apple is one of the better option privacy wise’

Sethayy ,

See sending ip packets is quite a lot easier that sending pig fetuses

Sethayy ,

I mean most houses crumble when you hit em with a tornado but were still building houses.

What i mean to say is I think we can agree there’s enough noise in most previous communism attempts, making them pretty shitty data to base your hypothesis off off

Sethayy ,

Literally what half the comments here are saying lmao, like yes and the sky is green everyone knows this

Sethayy ,

Fun analogy but uh that’s not all that scientific my guy.

Give me 5 min and I’ll draw communism as Chad then you’ll be fucked

Sethayy ,

Pretty sure I remember that too, but believe there was some caveat like it only uploads when watching, making made it ‘more give less take’ on average

Best way to remotely access pc on same LAN

Hey guys. I have a steam link I’ve used for quite some time. But I’m wanting to figure out a solution that is similar but grants full PC control. I have my main PC hardwired and a steam link and monitor out in my garage I’m routing to with a power line adapter that works pretty great. But it has a lot of issues when...

Sethayy ,

If you got the GPU for it, parsec for windows and sunshine for Linux. Sunshine is a lot more customisable and quicker, but takes a bit of setup and further tweaking to really optimise it.

If you don’t have a GPU rustdesk or any old vnc server will do

Sethayy ,

Its most important on the host, but even the integrated GPU on the N100 will have a decoder, what the client needs.

Sethayy ,

Lower latency and you’re usually able to get better quality for less bandwidth.

Its definitely a longer process to setup though

Sethayy ,

I got an underpowered gaming laptop I use lxqt when running heavier things, plasma the rest of the time, biggest issue I’ve found is lxqt dirtied up the desktop with home/trash/documents links

Sethayy ,

Honestly if I get scammed I don’t have the time nor money to fight it, sounds like mostly protection for those at the top

Sethayy ,

Funny enough ‘efficiency’ industrially tends to just mean what makes the most money anyways, so most crop’s have been trained to be nutrient sparse, yet large

Sethayy ,

God? Jesus is that you? Or at least someone omnipotent

You know with absolute certainty the only way people can trade is capitalism?

Sethayy ,

On one end carrying sheep would be annoying, but so is a credit score; arguably both are sources of noise distracting humanity from actually improving at all

Sethayy ,

Making the assumption ownership is a valued currency of course.

Which is arguably a bootstrap-paradox; we need capital to participate in capitalism, for which we need - cause without capitalism what would we do with our capital.

Sethayy ,

I mean like owning things is a human concept not a physical law, so yeah I can imagine a society exists where nothing is owned

Can’t say if it’d be better or worse than our current cause were not trying it, but tbh I’d be happy if instead of solely me being able to use ‘my’ drill for example, the whole community can whenever they require.

Sounds a hell of a lot more efficient to me if we work together not apart

Sethayy ,

If you’re wired on both ends, its essentially unnoticeable

Sethayy ,

Sounds like games on whales was nearly made for you.
