  Open Prompts – dataset of 10M Stable Diffusion generations2022 · github.com · ▲279

  Open Prompts is the dataset used to build krea.ai. The data comes from the Stability AI Discord and includes around 10M images from 2M prompts. You can use it for creating semantic search engines of prompts, training LLMs, fine-tuning image-to-text models like BLIP, or extracting insights from the data—like the most common combinations of modifiers.

  Create your own video clips with Stable Diffusion2023 · neuralframes.com · ▲247

  A few months ago, I started making video clips with stable diffusion and noticed that the tools to do this were too complicated for everyday people. That's why I built neural frames. Enjoy.

  A Stable Diffusion desktop frontend with inpainting, img2img and more2022 · github.com · ▲46

  I was frustrated with laggy notebook stable diffusion demos. Plus they usually didn't have all the features I wanted (for example some of them only had inpainting and some only had img2img, so if I wanted both I had to repeatedly copy images between notebooks). So I made this desktop frontend which has much smoother performance than notebook alternatives and integrates image generation, inpainting and img2img into the same workflow. See a video demo here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6392321/191858568-... Features include: * Can run locally or connect to a…

  I 3D scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid at Giza▲1,752

  Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

  America – Road Trip Simulator▲663

  APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
