On a testƩ #Firefly, le Midjourney d'Adobe Photoshop.

GrĆ¢ce Ć  une armada de rĆ©glages et une riche base de donnĆ©es, lā€™IA permet de crĆ©er des visuels trĆØs rĆ©ussis en quelques clics
Dans un premier temps, Firefly est uniquement disponible en bĆŖta par le biais dā€™un navigateur Web. Pour le moment, il nā€™est pas possible dā€™accĆ©der Ć  lā€™outil par le biais dā€™un logiciel Adobe

Les images gƩnƩrƩes par Firefly sont pour la plupart lƩchƩes, sophistiquƩes et bien structurƩes. Nous avons trouvƩ les productions bien plus rƩussies que celles rƩalisƩes par Bing ou Dall-E. ImageImage

[1/šŸ§µ] A brief #thread on how to properly download and verify your newest #IOTA #Firefly Windows version. šŸ˜‰ Source: https://block-builders.de/iota-wallet-firefly-jetzt-
[2/10] You might be wondering why @iota doesn't allow you to download & upgrade the version via the client.

To be honest, this would definitely improve usability (#UX), but it would also need the user to trust the DL content.

That is precisely what we do not want with #crypto. Source: https://firefly.iota.org/
[3/10] Who knows whether the network path from #github to your PC wasn't intercepted and a man in the middle (#MITM) replaced your downloaded program with a slightly different one.

To ensure that the program you are installing is the one meant for you, verify the #hashes. šŸ‘€ Source: https://dev.to/pixiumdigital/cyber-security-introduc

šŸµHUNTING FIREFLIESāœØ

Each year Shimogamo-jinja (äø‹é“Øē„žē¤¾) holds a special tea gathering called 'Hotarubi-no-Chakai' (蛍ē«ć®čŒ¶ä¼š). Over 600 fireflies are released beside the Mitarashi-gawa (å¾”ę‰‹ę“—å·) as evening falls, bringing an otherworldly feel to the tea ceremony.
#Japan
What better way to celebrate firefly season than with Kameya Yoshinaga's (äŗ€å±‹č‰Æ長) cooling 'hotaru-no-yoru' (č›ć®å¤œ 'evening fireflies').
The sweet is a type of 'kingyoku' (錦ēŽ‰), a jelly made from boiling agar and sugar...particularly popular in summer.

āž”ļø@YuikoYoshimura
#äŗ¬éƒ½
In the traditional calendar June 11th-15th is known as 'kusaretaru kusa hotaru to naru' (腐草ē‚ŗčž¢), 'rotten grass becomes fireflies'. There was a belief, imported from the mainland, that fireflies were born from grass decaying in the humid early summer heat.

Let's take a trip through the major releases on the @iota network since #chrysalis this April. šŸ§µ(1/13)
Their brand new wallet, #Firefly, was released on April 21 in preparation for the token migration to the new #chrysalis network (#IOTA 1.0 -> #IOTA 1.5). (2/13)
firefly.iota.org
Then the #chrysalis network (1.5) went live on April 28. The coordinator is still active, but this sets the stage for #coordicide (#IOTA 2.0) in the future. (3/13) blog.iota.org/the-new-chrysaā€¦

(1/15) The #Coordicide project at #IOTA is naturally an important milestone that will need to be delivered. But too often other progress on IOTA is overlooked. There are soo many pieces that together form the vision of IOTA. Let's have a look what my colleagues are working on!
(2/15) The #IOTA Engineering department has 9 different projects: #Bee, #Hornet, #Chronicle, #Firefly, #Client Libraries, #SmartContracts, #Identity, #Streams and #Stronghold. It also maintains our websites, the coordinator and nodes.
(3/15) In those projects, #Bee, #Hornet and #Chronicle directly build out the first layer of #IOTA. Implementing new features to the first layer for updates like #Chrysalis and #Coordicide.

Pre-print alert! דSelf-organization in natural #swarms of Photinus carolinus #synchronous #firefliesā€

How many fireflies does it take to synchronize a swarm in its natural habitat? And how fast does the burst propagate throughout the swarm?

šŸ§µ1/7 Fireflies at the Great Smoky Mountains
2/7 Fireflies flashing in unison is not just a mesmerizing manifestation of animal collective behaviorā€¦ but also a landmark example of biological synchrony.

We recently developed a method to record the 3D spatiotemporal pattern of their flashes

3/7 To understand the synchronization mechanisms and inform theoretical models, we apply our method on the collective display of thousands of Photinus carolinus fireflies, this time, in their natural habitat!

#Firefly has a special place in my heartā€”my favourite SF thing in the last 20 years, and Iā€™m incredibly grateful that @boomstudios let me work on these books. @danmcdaid & the other amazing artists have breathed life into @gregpakā€™s brilliant scripts, and Iā€™m having SO much fun.
I mean, SERIOUSLY, Iā€™m a fan who got to work on these books. So many of these spin-off/licenses titles just donā€™t *feel* right, but @boomstudiosā€™s Firefly stuff really does. Buy these books or by my pretty not-floral bonnet, I *will* end yiu.
Trust me ā€” no one who looks like this would steer you wrong on the subject of SF westernsā€¦

So... been thinking a lot about all the beautiful scripts out there that will never seen the light of day. The stillborn and the misbegotten. They'll never be filmed. They're just paper now. How would you like to read one?
Tell you what... I'm going to post my failed Syfy pilot Defender here, one page at a time, for the next 95 days. It's got starships and sword fights, space battles and ballroom dancing. And yes, some kissing.
NOTE: 1. I changed the title (& ship name) back to MORNINGSTAR. I only renamed it DEFENDER because of a network note & I like MORNINGSTAR better. 2. This script was work for hire & is (I think) property of UCP. But per WGA rules, I retain publishing rights. So there's that.
