Pistol_Pete posted:I'm wondering what the Russian perspective is for 2023. Are they content for a stalemated war to rumble on more or less indefinitely? Or are they calculating that Ukraine simply cannot sustain operations at this intensity and will be forced to come to terms later in the year? Or are they planning a big Spring offensive to materially change the current situation on the ground? Ukraine couldn't sustain operations long ago and functionally has no economy. It's being fed money, men & materials by the West at any cost to prop things up. So expect the meatgrinder to continue as per usual unless the petrodollar money printer breaks somehow in which case we're all in for a wild theme park ride. Personally I think 2023 will look very similar to 2022 and a new Big Thing will come along. Celebrities in tight pants that don't fit them, that sort of thing.

On the other hand every day not spent shooting at eachother is a good day.

Frosted Flake posted:Does anyone know how training data works for AI art generators? I tried to depict German rearmament and heavy industry because it came up in the thread today, There are a few different ways to do it. Stable-diffusion has two: dreambooth(which fine-tunes and adds data to a model and creates a new checkpoint) and textual inversion(which creates a more portable embedding). Training itself typically divided into two things: styles and objects. So to create WW2 soviet propaganda posters, you'd find 3+ varied(as in objects, composition, colors, people) examples of the style and feed it into textual inversion to generate an embedding - represented by some token like `emb_WW2SovietPropaganda`. Then describe thing and use that token. To create a person's face, ala lensly, or some battle that no one described in the sets because AI nerds are a different kind of nerd same deal. In dreambooth you would annotate / preprocess the images - you can interrogate them via deepbooru or BLIP to generate .txt files that correspond to what the model would generate those images as. Then you generate classifier images - 10 per source - these are used to set the ground truth state of what the model will generate for the description. There seem to be cliffs of effectiveness and stickiness - 70-100 steps per image is a reasonable sweet spot where the model will pick up a concept but not weld it to the style of the source. Having the source annotated well helps a lot, and less is often more RE: the amount of images in a set - but it can also weld in certain features you might not want like backgrounds. Automatic1111's webui automates a lot of this. Does that make sense? Feel free to DM me.

Cao Ni Ma posted:lmao "hmmmm ukraine said they would never do it, i guess russia just isnt the bigger guy by unilaterally upholding it" there's actually been a variation of this in the Philippines, where the government says "we are unilaterally declaring a ceasefire against the insurgents", and then when the insurgents attack, they're horrified that the insurgents could be so treacherous and heartless and therefore peace talks are off the table because they broke a ceasefire (that we declared without consulting them)

lmfao are the liberals seriously calling it a treaty after ukraine rejected it outright thats amazing Anyways are people trying to spin it like Russia needs a resupply break and that's why they asked? That's pretty fuckin funny too. Pistol_Pete posted:I'm wondering what the Russian perspective is for 2023. Are they content for a stalemated war to rumble on more or less indefinitely? Or are they calculating that Ukraine simply cannot sustain operations at this intensity and will be forced to come to terms later in the year? Or are they planning a big Spring offensive to materially change the current situation on the ground? I don't see any reason for Russia to be in a big hurry, they know that the west doesn't care if Ukraine wins or loses and that it's just a place to ship a bunch of MIC business toward. Eventually they'll roll in from Belarus and the war will end pretty quickly, I don't see any way Ukraine can defend the east and the north simultaneously.

The war has only cost 10s of billions of dollars for the us, which is mostly serving as a make-work program for weapons manufacturers. In a million years it wouldn't have an appreciable effect in america besides some performative horseshit like flags in libs' yards. There's practically nothing that could cause a revolution in the us short of a war in the CONUS

It would make more sense to keep it going as a method letting Europe keep tearing itself apart and loving over it's own people than anything to do with America. I feel like 2022 was basically the the start of the end of Europe and the unity of The West and I don't think anyone really thought it would go down like that. Putin obviously thought this thing was going to be over in less than a day but he can't be too sad about watching the ruling class of Germany and Britain and whoever else just starve and freeze their own people for the sake of American MIC profits, can he? If he does a good enough job making friends with China then Russia is pretty well set for the new future we're headed toward. Obviously that's all a little loose and vibes based for me to actually think that that's what's motivating anyone but it makes more sense than the idea that America is hurting a lot from sending a few dozen billions of dollars and a bunch of outdated equipment to some dipshit Nazis on the other side of the world in order to boost MIC profits hugely.

It's good to keep The West and America separate in discussion. America is going to be just fine, The West as a whole is in some pretty big trouble. America, if it was still being run by competent monsters like Kissinger, would be looking out for the The West as a whole because that's what helps keep America strong and influential. America as it is now, being run by incompetent neoliberal monsters instead, no longer cares about anything beyond the next quarters profits and is willing to sell anything they've got, including their geopolitical influence, to make a quick buck. They bought into their own ridiculous ideology a bit too hard and forgot what it's foundation actually was.

America is squeezing a lot of money out of Europe due to this war. Not only are there gonna be big boosts in weapon sales, but they've embargoed one of their biggest petroleum rivals allowing them to jack up the price of gas and oil. This is causing the European economy to crash, which means all the capital is fleeing to America which is why the euro/pound are eating poo poo and the dollar is stronger than ever. Meanwhile, the stock market is lmao

Kissinger's greatest fear was warm relations between China and Russia. Those two countries have the combined expertise, arable land, and resources to create an independent world island that can surpass the United States by any metric. And it's happening!
