youtu.be/HBTYVVUBAGs?t=178 claims to contain a photo of him without source. He has no easy to find online profiles.
Variety Jones: IRL, is there anyone with a clue at all? A girlfriend, boyfriend, buddy you talk to, etc?
myself: Unfortunately yes, there are two but they think I sold the site and got out, and they're quite convinced of it.
His email was published: baronsyntax@gmail.com. They actaully talked on Google Chat. OMG.
Google Passwords by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
When they disabled this from Chromium, it was one of the things that prompted Ciro Santilli to switch to Proton Pass.
Conda install is a bit annoying, but gets the job done. The generation quality is very good.
Someone should package this better for end user "just works after Conda install" image generation, it is currently much more of a library setup.
First install Conda as per Section "Install Conda on Ubuntu", and then just follow the instructions from the README, notably the Reference sampling script section.
git clone https://github.com/runwayml/stable-diffusion
cd stable-diffusion/
git checkout 08ab4d326c96854026c4eb3454cd3b02109ee982

python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse" --plms
This took about 2 minutes and generated 6 images under outputs/txt2img-samples/samples, includining an image outputs/txt2img-samples/grid-0000.png which is a grid montage containing all the six images in one:

TODO how to change the number of images?
A quick attempt at removing their useless safety features (watermark and NSFW text filter) is:

but that produced 4 black images and only two unfiltered ones. Also likely the lack of sexual training data makes its porn suck, and not in the good way.
The book is a bit slow until Charles K. Kao comes along, then it gets exciting.
Had this happen on P14s on Ubuntu 23.10 while causally using Chromium. The screen went blank for a few seconds, but it apparently managed to reboot itself, and things started working again, except that and most windows were killed:

It appears to be a bug in the AMDGPU open source driver.
I think this was on Wayland. Possibly relatd but on X Window System, crashed the UI, showed message "oh no! Something has gone wrong."
