hi i have no desire to be in conflict with you and do not know what to do here. so you know, my present plan is to further increase the 000#'s with a word after, if i get so many of these that it is hard to find other emails, as before. i'm thinking if you then back off again, as before, that i'll go back to this email address. with the letter removed at the end.

history of joogle jewnazis
by punk 17 Jul '22

17 Jul '22

this should get the list's jewnazis especially hysterical - and by the list's jewnazis I mean, grancrap, karl and the cop at jewhoo.au. https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-resea… jakobo samuel brin and samuel jakobo page, computer-science boy wonders In 1995, one of the first and most promising MDDS grants went to a computer-science research team at Stanford University with a decade-long history of working with NSF and DARPA grants. The primary objective of this grant was “query optimization of very complex queries that are described using the ‘query flocks’ approach.” A second grant—the DARPA-NSF grant most closely associated with Google’s origin—was part of a coordinated effort to build a massive digital library using the internet as its backbone. Both grants funded research by two graduate students who were making rapid advances in web-page ranking, as well as tracking (and making sense of) user queries: future Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The research by the two non human jewturds under these grants became the heart of joogle: shocking!

[ot] CogVideo: Descriptive-Text-to-Video ... for Chinese
by Karl Semich 17 Jul '22

17 Jul '22

Of course what is of note is that they trained a public model to convert text into video, not that it is for Chinese. It can likely be finetuned relatively easily to process tokenized English, in the same way as any other model that uses the same framework. https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo # CogVideo This is the official repo for the paper: [CogVideo: Large-scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers](http://arxiv.org/abs/2205.15868). **News!** The [demo](https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/) for CogVideo is available! **News!** The code and model for text-to-video generation is now available! Currently we only supports *simplified Chinese input*. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48993524/170857367-2033c514-3c9f-… * **Read** our paper [CogVideo: Large-scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.15868) on ArXiv for a formal introduction. * **Try** our demo at [https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/](https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/) * **Run** our pretrained models for text-to-video generation. Please use A100 GPU. * **Cite** our paper if you find our work helpful ``` @article{hong2022cogvideo, title={CogVideo: Large-scale Pretraining for Text-to-Video Generation via Transformers}, author={Hong, Wenyi and Ding, Ming and Zheng, Wendi and Liu, Xinghan and Tang, Jie}, journal={arXiv preprint arXiv:2205.15868}, year={2022} } ``` ## Web Demo The demo for CogVideo is at [https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/](https://wudao.aminer.cn/cogvideo/), where you can get hands-on practice on text-to-video generation. *The original input is in Chinese.* ## Generated Samples **Video samples generated by CogVideo**. The actual text inputs are in Chinese. Each sample is a 4-second clip of 32 frames, and here we sample 9 frames uniformly for display purposes. ![Intro images](assets/intro-image.png) ![More samples](assets/appendix-moresamples.png) **CogVideo is able to generate relatively high-frame-rate videos.** A 4-second clip of 32 frames is shown below. ![High-frame-rate sample](assets/appendix-sample-highframerate.png) ## Getting Started ### Setup * Hardware: Linux servers with Nvidia A100s are recommended, but it is also okay to run the pretrained models with smaller `--max-inference-batch-size` and `--batch-size` or training smaller models on less powerful GPUs. * Environment: install dependencies via `pip install -r requirements.txt`. * LocalAttention: Make sure you have CUDA installed and compile the local attention kernel. ```shell git clone https://github.com/Sleepychord/Image-Local-Attention cd Image-Local-Attention && python setup.py install ``` ### Download Our code will automatically download or detect the models into the path defined by environment variable `SAT_HOME`. You can also manually download [CogVideo-Stage1](https://lfs.aminer.cn/misc/cogvideo/cogvideo-stage1.zip) and [CogVideo-Stage2](https://lfs.aminer.cn/misc/cogvideo/cogvideo-stage2.zip) and place them under SAT_HOME (with folders named `cogvideo-stage1` and `cogvideo-stage2`) ### Text-to-Video Generation ``` ./script/inference_cogvideo_pipeline.sh ``` Arguments useful in inference are mainly: * `--input-source [path or "interactive"]`. The path of the input file with one query per line. A CLI would be launched when using "interactive". * `--output-path [path]`. The folder containing the results. * `--batch-size [int]`. The number of samples will be generated per query. * `--max-inference-batch-size [int]`. Maximum batch size per forward. Reduce it if OOM. * `--stage1-max-inference-batch-size [int]` Maximum batch size per forward in Stage 1. Reduce it if OOM. * `--both-stages`. Run both stage1 and stage2 sequentially. * `--use-guidance-stage1` Use classifier-free guidance in stage1, which is strongly suggested to get better results. You'd better specify an environment variable `SAT_HOME` to specify the path to store the downloaded model. *Currently only Chinese input is supported.*

Ancap lies about being peaceful
by professor rat 17 Jul '22

17 Jul '22

Two recent examples 1) Ross Ulbricht tried to hire Hitmen to kill people who upset him and his business all the while posing, preening and posturing online as a ' peaceful agorist ' The Hitmen he hired were also authorized to kill innocent civilian witnesses - flatmates, etc 2) Associate of Jeff Berwick - another alleged peace-loving agorist - was just accused of murdering an anarchist who upset Berwick and his business dealings. How many more ' peace-loving Agorists ' out there are going to turn Charlie Manson? Maybe we should waterboard Gramps about this.

[ Self-described ' Crypto-anarchist " ] John Galton was murdered in his home. His death was blamed on cartel violence but in The Anarchists, Galton’s partner Lily Forester blamed his death on Paul Propert, a member of the Anarchapulco, who dealt drugs to attendees and threatened violence towards the couple in numerous social media posts. . .
