Error downloading audio: get_throttling_function_name: could not find match for multiple

 In the past I had posted this https://alashazam.blogspot.com/2023/05/python-program-to-download-music.html explaining how to download video using python library pytube

If you are still using this program, you will notice that it is recently not functional anymore 

As of end of June 2023, this program will crash with this error:

Error downloading audio: get_throttling_function_name: could not find match for multiple

and if you are investigating further you will also discover this error

pytube.exceptions.RegexMatchError: get_throttling_function_name: could not find match for multiple

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

To fix the error - you will have to edit the file /lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytube/cipher.py

on line +287 and remove the ; character

so the new file will be like this

Once that change is made the pytube library will work again.

How to get a prompt from a png file

It is sometime frustrating to see a beautiful AI generated pictures on reddit for example, and the user did not post the prompt or the detail on the model used.

With the help of this website (pngchunk.com)

you will be able to see the prompt used and all AI details (assuming the file has been made with Stable Diffusion)

ControlNet

The whole playlist

makepose.com

Useful to put characters into a situation or a specific movement

https://makepose.com/ 

Using the website above, there is a 2D or 3D model

everything is controlled by the mouse, joint movement, zoom in and out (scrolling button) and rotation

it is possible to add more character, and even to generate the pose into a pseudo stable diffusion module.

• prompt: str = Form(""), num_samples: int = Form(1), image_resolution: int = Form(512),
• low_threshold: int = Form(100), high_threshold: int = Form(200), ddim_steps: int = Form(20),
• scale: float = Form(9.0), seed: Optional[int] = Form(None), eta: float = Form(0.0),
• a_prompt: str = Form("best quality, extremely detailed"), n_prompt: str = Form("longbody, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality"), detect_resolution: int = Form(512),

Other special features:

• Scrolling and zooming
• Download button 
• Dragging characters around 
• up to 4 characters
• Double clicking a limb to increase limb size

This is the perfect complement to use Controlnet via  Stable Diffusion

Why AI art struggles with hands

I mean to be fair many traditional artists are struggling to draw hands

In conclusion AI is drawing a lot of stuffs wrong, anatomically muscles, teeth, animals etc ... AI is making many weird exaggeration,wrong moves, impossible movement, but in most cases we don't notice them because we are not really putting attention to it.

But we notice hands because we are used to be careful about them.

An arm bending the wrong way would also be noticeable, a leg that does not end, or lacking a foot will also be noticed, even by non artists ; because as human we have evolved a sense for noticing potential dangers, or to help our fellow humans that were injured, or maimed during battles...

Because let's be honest, if an artist spending most of his life drawing the human anatomy on sketchbooks, is seeing AI artwork, he would be appalled 

When an AI is drawing an Alien, he could generated as many eyes, or teeth, or nose ; because we have to way of seeing that it is wrong, same goes with a tiger's face, or a dog's anatomy, we are not too picky about it.

Tumblr backup solution

How to backup your tumblr

As of today there are several solutions provided to backup a tumblr account - but either you need to sign up, pay and then download an application, or install browser add-ons and then you will have a lot of html files (e.g:  http://boutofcontext.com/tumblr_backup.php) - and it isn't really dynamic - you will have to backup it up from times to times, but there is a better way ...

A smart way to backup your tumblr with soup.io

In a previous post I was mentioning soup.io as a micro-blogging platform - there is actually a way to mirror your tumblr into a soup.io - and here's how :

Create a soup.io account - then go into Automatic imports and put your tumblr name.
Then press add and wait - this could take a long time, so don't close the tab, or interrupt the process, otherwise you will have duplicates post all over the place.

More than backup a synchronization

It just works!

2021 Advices

Women are the most prejudiced group of people that ever lived because women have never been afforded the divine right of God, and they have no ally in heaven.

If people just learn to be selfless enough to simply meditate in silence for 20 minutes a day and let the light work on them the entire world would change in an instant. 

People need to break out of the revolving wheel of pleasure seeking that never leads to happiness and increases suffering. 

It's time for all of us to start learning to love unconditionally, not just because we get something in return. 

Otherwise we're just ignorant... we are just unconscious beasts.
