With some CPU offloading I'm able to run SDXL at 1.5it/s on an RTX2070S w/ 8GB VRAM.

When used with ControlNet it still runs but more layers offloaded at 1.4s/it

Nvidia had built Maxine back in Oct of 2020. Arun Mallya also published One-shot Talking Head Synthesis in 2021 which does the same thing except removing the background from the rendering
iAkashPaul··on Workers AI: Serverless GPU-powered inference
Thought they were gonna go CPU based inference with llama.cpp/ggml, this project should definitely be made into a programming book

Hard drives for us have become the CDs from our parents generations.

Westworld RIP

iAkashPaul··on How to Setup a Plex Media Server on Raspberry Pi
Been using it at home with my MacBook via docker compose, got tired of my TV not being able to handle more than 4gigs of recorded 4K media from a variety of sources.

Simply map a volume to your local folder & bring up the service.

iAkashPaul··on Ideogram launches AI image generator with impressive typography
Wasn't this the whole point of DeepFloyd-IF?
iAkashPaul··on n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool
Always adored tools like this, Isoflow for isometric flowcharts is another one that was closed sources but is being opened up one feature at a time.
iAkashPaul··on Interpretable graph neural networks for tabular data
Microsoft LIDA seems something that can incorporate this for additional insight from tabular data sources
iAkashPaul··on An Open Source Mobile Phone Based on the ESP32
Seeing the speed at which governments across the world are keen on breaking encryption or enabling backdoors, this appears to be one of the ways we're headed for.
iAkashPaul··on LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
Android really did drop the ball on building decent native file browser apps for Mac/windows. Frequent adb disconnections or needing to reboot the Mac for the USB host/adb handshake to work...
