DALL-E Homebrew In this post, we’ll look at getting setup with running your own A.I. image generator. You need a Linux system with a CUDA enabled card to get this working through to the end. I did get the basic txt-2img script working in Windows. Unfortunately, for the July released retrieval-augmented diffusion models, you need scann in order to index the openimages dataset, which is only available on Linux. WSL worked fine for me....
GPT-3 Raps A while back on Reddit, a rap about pencils written by GPT-3 was posted, which prompted me to do some Googling to try to generate and vocode the lyrics. I tried this with music myself a while back with Coqui-aiTTS and didn’t have great results.

Now I am become Roam - Organizer of Worlds I’ve been getting more and more interested in Emacs and org-mode over the past couple of years. It really seems like a fighter jet of organization, text editing, note taking, etc. The problem is, if you don’t know how to fly a jet, you’re probably going to not get very far. I do not know how to properly fly the Emacs jet, but I’ve made a few failed attempts to convert part or all of my workflow to Emacs....
