I seriously wanna know. Did ya’ll do something interesting? Did something happen? Anything else you wanna share?
Yesterday my SO spend all day with a raging headache and throwing up every half-hour or so.
Today she is better, which we are both very pleased about. My day, consequently, has been largely focused around excursions to get ‘recovery’ foods, doing double duty on household chores, and generally looking after her.
Not what I had planned, but I am very happy that she is better, and I will be settling down with a pizza (she is having baked potato and not sure yet) and we’ll be watching an undemanding film this evening.
Glad to hear she’s doing better. Migraines (which i assume you’re talking about) can be a real bitch, my sister had mad attacks as well. Kuddos to you for taking care of her.
May I suggest monty python’s life of brain. I need a good chuckle last week so I rewatched it again. Just like always, it didn’t disappoint
This doesn’t seem to be a migraine as such - or at least she is not normally subject to them. She has had something similar in the past, but not for about a decade.
We considered quite a few, but in the end she decided on Stardust - we are currently paused for a tea refresh. I have seen it in the past, probably soon after it came out. Fun and entertaining but not outstanding as a Gaiman tale overall.
My wife got COVID 3 days ago and now I have it. It’s labor Day weekend but we’re just laid up while our healthy 8 year old daughter is running amok and trying her best to finish us off. Last night while sleeping my window unit ac leaked water all over my router so now I have no Internet but it happened after I finished watching the one piece live action that dropped so all in all it’s been alright I guess.
Fucked up my laptop yesterday, had to reinstall and today at midnight I remembered that I didn’t push the code I’ve been working on for the last two weeks, so today I’ve been rewriting it.
Oh no dude… That is so frustrating! That happened to me once (but not 45h worth) and I try to push ad often as possible now… I hope it goes well.
Yikes. A lot of code?
Around 45 hours of work. Though I expect it’s gonna take around half of that the 2nd time.
I tried my first Stable Diffusion AI embeddings training. It made impressive Picasso’s. I was not training for Picasso.
You did what? That first sentence is entirely meaningless to me. Mind explaining some more?
Stable Diffusion is a popular offline, open source text to image AI model. You type text, it makes images. It is like ChatGPT but for images, where ChatGPT is text to text chat.
Basically it is a similar type of neural network model that takes an image with mathematically random static and processes it in a series of steps that slowly create an image based on the text prompt.
If you follow so far, Stable Diffusion is trained on billions of images that all have descriptive captions. This means you can only generate images using text that was in the captions of the original model data set. If, let’s say, you want to generate images of yourself in places around the world, it is very unlikely that you are already defined in the model unless you are a public figure or celebrity. However, it is possible to add yourself into the AI without retraining the entire neural network. If you had to retrain everything, it would basically require you to own or rent some serious data center level hardware that runs around a half million dollars. It is possible to kinda patch on a layer onto the neural network of the model so that it knows what you look like and associates it with text.
If you get the settings wrong for one of these patched training layers, you can get all kinds of crazy errors, like turning people into abstract art. This was the result of my first test. Maybe I’ll do better today. I found some faster training tools to try. The first attempt took 4 hours.
I got a new job which is great so far. I’ll talk about it later.
I wanted to change and learn the Colemak keyboard. I ordered and received my Colemak stickers from Keyshorts.com. Some small bubbles are stuck in the keys 5 and 6 because I didn’t put them properly, and the stickers are a bit sharp on the edges, but it’s OK. For $20 I like my new keyboard. Colemak is fun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colemak).
It took me 10 minutes to write this fucking message with Colemak but I’ll get better! https://monkeytype.com is free.
Edit: this message is not a meme, or generated by an AI, it’s sponsored by Colemak though. Feel free to ask questions.
Good luck with colemak! I was practicing pretty regularly, but fell out of it. I should pick it back up. I got decent at typing regular text. I couldn’t get over the hump for writing code though.
Are you using any of the mods for the layout, like the dh swap?
I don’t use mods for the moment since it’s easier to use the default layout which is supported by the OS, but I’ll investigate in the future.

Good to hear you’re taking care of yourself. You’re important enough for that. Also, anything that involves large machines and such is interesting as fuck.
Attending PAX with my family. My kids have managed to have fun and not get too punchy despite having been walking around the convention floor for six hours.
And we’ve found three games we’re insta-buying so far!
ohh I should really try to go to PAX next year.
I went to a nearby diner and got chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. I was unprepared for just how large these pancakes were gonna be, so now I’ve got half a stack of pancakes sitting in a leftovers box in the fridge for tomorrow. All in all, not bad!
I am jealous. I walked by a place earlier and saw some kid eating pancakes like 20x her size and they had blueberries in the middle. God I want pancakes.

Went to a plant nursery and refreshed one of my 2 large planters with new vines, flowers and plants. 👨🏽🌾
It’s my youngest first birthday today, I have 2 older ones, it’s 6pm and I’m fucking exhausted
Send help
Oof, good luck mate. Bet you’ll still enjoy the hell out of it, even if it’s exhausting
Had an early start to my day to meal prep before me and the family head to the beach today. I was up a couple of hours before everyone so I had time to get some Starfield in while things were in the slow cooker.
My family likes to get all out long weekend activities out on the first couple days so our last day is just a lazy day to reset ourselves.
I was hoping to see my crush today but didn’t get to. I went home, took a nap and then did a bunch of sketching which I’ll probably do more of later too.
There was supposed to be a hot air balloon festival, but the important parts of it were cancelled due to the weather.
Air and heat remain; balloons cancelled. Two outta three ain’t bad!
All I did so far was go grocery shopping. I feel like I’ve wasted the day off.
