Gotcha, thanks. Yeah, I just sometimes see people posting their Comfy UI workflow images and wonder if the grass is greener…

I’ve neglected SD for a bit. Is A1111 still the best SD tool, or is Comfy UI (or something else I’ve never heard of) now the favorite?

I’ve always been fine with A1111, but I feel like complex workflows get hard to track and troubleshoot.

Huh… That’s really not nice.

Maybe the command line version is consistent, but day to day I prefer not to do command line. I’ve tried like 5 different GUIs and they all have failed downloads, incorrect formats, and other issues just doing test downloads. I don’t know why, but it’s been a problem every time for me.

You should listen to all the yt-dlp comments, but I’ve always had trouble getting all the yt-dl variants to just download the best version and subtitles consistently.

I use 4K Video Downloader, and it’s easier to use. It has a 30 video per day limit is all, which is more than I need.

If you’re afraid republicans are going to shoot democracy in the face, the answer is not to shoot democracy in the face before they can do it.

Everyone seems to think that it’s naïve to not do first what we expect the republicans to do once they get the power. But just because the Supreme Court made fascism legal, that doesn’t make it any less fascism to do it.

First past the post elections. If we had ranked choice or runoff elections, more parties would appear.

Instead, in FPTP, every vote that is not for one of the two highest-polling candidates is objectively a wasted vote. Game theory dictates that the only rational choice is a vote for one of those two candidates, since the possibility of a third party gaining enough votes to win in any single election is nearly infinitesimal. So instead of many parties, all candidates self-sort into one of the two viable parties. Any candidate that does not is a protest candidate or deluded, but in either case, there is no hope of actually winning.

So what about primaries? The primary system decides the candidates, but even that is tainted by FPTP, because primary voters have to guess which will perform better in a FPTP general election and often vote against their ideal candidate in the hopes of winning (or, not losing) the general.

In short, until we structurally reform elections to be ranked/STAR/runoff/etc to remove the punitive effect of voting for your actual ideal candidate, we’re stuck with a prisoner’s dilemma election every time.

The “aspirational brand” value is a bit of Apple-ception, though. The really, really, luxury-level wealthy people buying Vision Pro, to inspire the just really wealthy people to buy the Vision Basic or whatever it’s called. It still is the price of the highest-end iPhone, and it’s far less functional.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they treated the Vision Pro as Apple’s version of the beta product - top-down rather than bottom-up testing.

This is what I came here to respond. If I recall, there are some good hi-res mods for the PSX emulated versions.

Napkin math: So slightly less than two books a week? Like 280 pages or so per book, two per week, so 80 pages a day? Roughly?

That’s great, I’m happy for you. But hey, if you have a machine that puts more hours into a day, please share with the rest of us, we’re dying out here.

She got the crazy eye.

You mean, commiserate?

The dumbest part about this ruling is it treats every bribe as unrelated to every other bribe. The majority ignored the basic trait of every human with a prefrontal cortex, that we judge future planning by past experience.

So even ignoring the “first bribe is free” effect of the decision, what will happen in effect is that legislators and politicians will pass laws they think will gain bribes, be paid by interests that benefit after the fact, and after that without a single word, have an understanding that such back-dated bribes can continue indefinitely. Regular, consistent bribery is legal and easy, under this ruling.

When did The Verge start paywalling? Ugh.

Hopefully at least farts outside the CEO’s office every time they walk by.

I love this tech aesthetic. 90s Japanese tech is just fun to look at.

Sorry, I’m not sure I understand where you’re getting your limitation on GOG and expansive interpretation on Valve.

GOG’s says a court order that “specifically entitled someone to your GOG personal account” is enough. Arguably a will that leaves “my personal GOG account,” recognized by a court determining estate, would suffice. Why wouldn’t it?

Conversely, Valve is specific that Steam accounts “cannot be transferred via a will.” Not only is Valve affirmatively denying a will qualifies, it seems Valve is likely relying on an interpretation that the account is not descendible in the first place.

How is it Different from Stable Audio?

Our commercial Stable Audio product produces high-quality, full tracks with coherent musical structure up to three minutes in length, as well as advanced capabilities like audio-to-audio generation and coherent multi-part musical compositions.

Stable Audio Open, on the other hand, specialises in audio samples, sound effects and production elements. While it can generate short musical clips, it is not optimised for full songs, melodies or vocals. This open model provides a glimpse into generative AI for sound design while prioritising responsible development alongside creative communities.

I wonder if after this release, people will train and release better models that aren’t just a gimped teaser of the pay product. That would be nice.

It’s confusing phrasing by GOG, but I take it to mean a court order settling an estate or other similar documentation. Which makes sense, since otherwise you could claim someone is dead and just social engineer yourself a free account.

Thank you for spelling “head canon” correctly. I’m tired of all these comments putting pictures of people with cannons for heads in my brain.
