Image Creator Using AI

Image Creator is a product to help users generate AI images with DALL·E 3. Given a text prompt, our AI will generate a set of images matching that prompt.. 

How do I create better prompts?

Creating an image with Image Creator works differently from searching for an image in Bing.

It works best when you’re highly descriptive. So, get creative and add details: adjectives, locations, even artistic styles such as “digital art” or “photorealistic.”

 

Here’s an example of a how to create a longer, more descriptive prompt:

  • Original prompt: “astronaut”
  • Descriptive prompt: “a close-up photo of an astronaut in a glowing suit made of plasma, as if the galaxy is inside of it, putting on their helmet, but you can’t see their face because of the visor, realistic, film stock, bright colours”

ChatGPT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, speech recognition, and visual perception. AI aims to create machines that can mimic cognitive functions and adapt to different situations, making them capable of autonomous decision-making and problem-solving.

ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, specifically GPT-3.5. ChatGPT is designed for natural language understanding and generation, making it well-suited for conversational applications. It is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow instructions in a prompt and provide detailed responses.

GPT-3.5, the underlying architecture for ChatGPT, is one of the most powerful language models created by OpenAI as of my last knowledge update in January 2022. It has 175 billion parameters, making it capable of understanding and generating human-like text across a wide range of tasks and contexts. Parameters are the internal variables the model adjusts during training, and a higher number of parameters generally indicates a more powerful model.

Linux – Your Details

User Avitar

There is a file in the User directory called “.face“, this is your avatar for logging in.

You can make any picture you want (preferably .png) your Avatar just by renaming and placing the image in your home user folder.

But first when you open your File manager (Thunar) you will need to turn on Hidden Files. All hidden files start with “.“. all your system files that are unique to you are stored here.

Mugshot

Mugshot or About Me is where you help programs like eMail or LibreOffice fill in your details automatically.

Linux – Moving Home Partition

Customizing your File system:
(Having home on separate Hard drive.)

Unlike Windows, Linux has a “Fixed” File system. What this means is no matter how many physical hard drives you have the file structure stays the same!

Linux does not label each hard drive but instead used Partitions. Partitions can span many hard drives and together are called a RAID. Partitions can be formatted to many different file storage formates. e.g. NTFS (Windows 10), ExFAT(USB drives) & Ext4(Linux). There are many more…… But for our purposes here, this is all you need to know for now!

  1. Create a Temporary folder (media/home)
  2. Mount the new Partition(hard drive) to that temporary folder (media/home)
  3. Copy data from current Home folder to the temporary folder (/home to media/home)
  4. Create backup folder (/old_home)
  5. Move current Home to a backup folder (/home to /old_home)
  6. Move temporary folder to original Home location (media/home to /home)

Now you have the Home Directory on a new Partition!

Here is the Detailed Instructions

Windows 10 Setup Guide:

How to Guide :

he problem with Windows 10 is the bloatware that comes with a new installation and whenever there is an update. Microsoft gives you the ability to turn off or delete these bloated software and to make your operating system not track you but……

Microsoft turns them back on and reinstalls all the useless software you don’t want which slows down your computer.

So where to begin :

 

Getting the latest Windows 10 available direct from Microsoft.

WINDOWS 10 DOWNLOAD

Next is a program to make a USB install disc. It is called Rufus. Creating a USB for Windows should be easy but Microsoft had made it a problem on Linux.

RUFUS DOWNLOAD

Make the Windows 10 Install unattended, with all updates and auto install 3rd Party software.

NTLITE DOWNLOAD

Free installer software that installs free useful software without bloatware.

NINITE DOWNLOAD

Firefox, Libreoffice, Openoffice, 7-zip, Thunderbird, Krita, Blender, GIMP, XnView, Inkscape, qBittorent, Evernote, Steam, Filezilla, Notepad++, Putty, VLC, Audacity, K-Lite Codecs, Handbrake, Malwarebytes & ImgBurn.

Ccleaner – One of the best free software solutions for cleaning up your PC.

CCLEANER DOWNLOAD

Clementine – My preferred Music Library & Player.

CLEMENTINE DOWNLOAD

The next step is to remove all the Microsoft and 3rd Party software that you don’t want. We use a program called Blackbird.

BLACKBIRD DOWNLOAD

At this point your PC should be clean & fast, so its time to back it up.

Downloading with Torrents!

There is always the normal way of Save as… But there are many other ways like Torrents.

A torrent file acts like a table of contents (index) that allows computers to find information through the use of a Bittorrent client. A torrent file gives addresses identifying computers that can send parts of the requested file. With the help of a torrent file, one can download small parts of the original file from computers that have already downloaded it. These “peers” allow for downloading of the file in addition to, or in place of, the primary server.

The Torrent Client (Software)

My choice is qbittorrent (www.qbittorrent.org)

I chose this one as it has a built in Search Tab which will make things easy for new users.

Inside the Search Tab is a button to add Search Plugins. Inside you will find a link to a engine plugin list.

http://plugins.qbittirrent.org

This will redirect you to github.com

to the Unofficial-search-plugins.

There is a download link for each search engine. Copy the link and return to qbittorrent.

 

Select Install a new one.

& select Web link.

Then paste the link you copied from the site.

Repeat this procedure till all the links have been copied.

Then the final step is to check for updates for the search engines.

Now you can type in one search but get results from them all.

To go along with the torrent client, you will need torrent websites. These websites collect and organise the torrent files into lists for easy searching and activation.

Top 10 List:

1. The Pirate Bay – Best Torrent Site Overall

2. RARBG – Best Torrent Site for 4K Movies and New Releases

3. 1337x – Best Torrent Site for Applications

4. Torlock – Best Torrent Site for Anime and Ebooks

5. Torrentz2 – Best Torrent Site for Music Albums

6. YTS – Best Torrent Site for Movies

7. EZTV – Best Torrent Site for TV Shows

8. Zooqle – Best Torrent Site for Games

9. TorrentDownloads – Best Torrent Site for Software

10. LimeTorrents – Best Torrent Site for PC Games

There are many Open sites but there are also Membership sites too, these sites require you to keep a 1:1 ratio to stay as a member. The benefit of these sites is that they are a lot faster and safe from dangerous fake torrents as only members can upload torrents and membership is limited.

What is DNS…

What is DNS?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. Humans access information online through domain names, like nytimes.com or espn.com. Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources.

Each device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address which other machines use to find the device. DNS servers eliminate the need for humans to memorize IP addresses such as 192.168.1.1 (in IPv4), or more complex newer alphanumeric IP addresses such as 2400:cb00:2048:1::c629:d7a2 (in IPv6).

How does DNS work?

The process of DNS resolution involves converting a hostname (such as www.example.com) into a computer-friendly IP address (such as 192.168.1.1). An IP address is given to each device on the Internet, and that address is necessary to find the appropriate Internet device – like a street address is used to find a particular home. When a user wants to load a webpage, a translation must occur between what a user types into their web browser (example.com) and the machine-friendly address necessary to locate the example.com webpage.

There are many DNS providers, at all levels of the internet. From ISP, State, Country, Continent & World! They do not have the same list.

This is how a Country can censor the internet and ban websites by redacting/delete them from the DNS.

By choosing a World DNS provider you get the full unedited internet.

Terminal Task Manager – Top

The Linux top command provides a terminal task manager which lists all of the running processes on the computer.

top

I use “Top” to kill a process within the top interface simply press k and enter the process id next to the application you wish to close. Top solicits a specific signal to send; in most cases, enter 15 (to request the process to gracefully terminate) or 9 (to immediately kill the process).

The first line offers some basic high-level info about the system:

  • The time
  • How long the computer has been running
  • Number of users
  • Load average

 

The load average shows the system load time for the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes.

The second line summarizes the number of ongoing, concurrent tasks:

 

  • Total number of tasks
  • Number of running tasks
  • Number of sleeping tasks
  • Number of stopped tasks
  • Number of zombie tasks

The third line summarizes CPU performance:

 

  • usage by the user
  • usage by system
  • usage by low priority processes
  • usage by idle processes
  • usage by io wait
  • usage by hardware interrupts
  • usage by software interrupts
  • usage by steal time

The fourth line emphasizes memory:

 

  • Total system memory
  • Free memory
  • Memory used
  • Buffer cache

The fifth line highlights available swap space and total memory inclusive of swap:

 

  • Total swap available
  • Total swap free
  • Total swap used
  • Available memory

Main Table

The main table lists running processes:

  • Process ID
  • User
  • Priority
  • Nice level
  • Virtual memory used by process
  • Resident memory used by a process
  • Shareable memory
  • CPU used by process as a percentage
  • Memory used by process as a percentage
  • Time process has been running
  • Command

Key Switches For the ‘top’ Command

Although you invoke top just by typing the name in a shell session, a few switches modify the utility’s behavior:

  • -h: Show the current version
  • -c: This toggles the command column between showing command and program name
  • -d: Specify the delay time between refreshing the screen
  • -o: Sorts by the named field
  • -p: Only show processes with specified process IDs
  • -u: Show only processes by the specified user
  • -i: Do not show idle tasks

NeoFetch

Written in Bash, Neofetch displays information about your system next to an ASCII operating system logo (or any picture you configure it to display).

Designed to handle show and tell, apps like neofetch are a mainstay of desktop screenshots. They can distill information about the operating system, kernel version, and desktop environment, but also what theme or icons are being used, which window manager, and even which version of Bash!

Basically, its the sort of tool made for Linux nerds like us!

One of Neaofetch’s “pluses” over similar CLI system info tools is the extent to which you can customise it. Neofetch is highly customizable through the use of command line flags or the user config file. There are over 50 config options to play around with.

Neofetch is now my favourite CLI system information tool.
