Deliberate was gone for a little while (available in HuggingFace now) and I think I’ve seen others be taken down too for violating licenses or the author doing shady things to boost stats. Some older models are also really hard to find. Even though they’re low quality by current standards they did seem to have a bit more creativity.

Might be misremember on the subscription thing. Maybe it was v1-v2 of some model was free to download and anything newer was API only. Regardless I think authors are free to pull stuff whenever they choose.

This is actually great because not only does it share the hosting load but models occasionally get pulled from sites so they can be exclusive to some AI subscription service.

I haven’t looked into the built in features in a while but I think comfy needs to have more basic nodes. I’ve picked up workflows with dead nodes and it’s not easy to see what used to be there and fill in the gap. Sometimes it’s something complex like an animation node but I’ve had basic text box nodes go dead.

Some segmentation stuff seems close but they only separate objects, they don’t add objects. Best workflow I can think of with minimal editing is doing I2I, creating a mask for the new object, then using the mask on the original image.

I stopped when it got to the trillion comparison. Surely I can find a better use out of the next two weeks of my life.

Makes me feel a little better. In 2024 I Can’t get a “Windows ready” Bluetooth dongle to be recognized by my still supported Windows computer.

Very good point. We often do one PR per story so people tend to think that’s a limit.

I have a rule about this (not that I don’t break it at times). I only refactor in an unrelated story if it doesn’t delay deliverables and existing tests cover the code.

And you’re generally right about tech that not being prioritized, but you should have a talk with your product manager/owner to strike a deal for some small percentage of your work to include tech debt. We were able to convince ours that it was otherwise affecting our velocity.

Last time I got this PR I was like, “Okay, I’ll do my best, but you asked the guy that has like 30 mins a day to actually focus and look at someone else’s code AND yours isn’t the only PR I’ll have to look at this sprint. Have fun reminding me about this for the next week.”

That wasn’t me, but that also used to be me. I learned to pick my battles, especially with complex code bases, and tried to keep scope creep in the name of improvement to like a dozen lines (provided it was fully tested).

Atmospheric and visually pleasing yes. The few moments where you had to sneak around the monsters was a bit stressful.

If the CPU kept up with modern apps I’d still be using my Galaxy S3 Mini.

Ditto for City of Heroes.

Also, I miss Avengers Alliance. It eventually turned into a blatant play-to-win, microtransaction nightmare but it could get quite intense and you legitimately needed to think about your strategy to beat certain foes.

I remember the one I had as a kid (TV). Picture wasn’t great of course but there was something really satisfying about those big, heavy dials that clicked when you changed channels.

Last time I had Blue Nehi I was probably also a kid (early 90s).

Not too many Popeyes in my area. That sounds insane though. Not a fan of the food but college-age and drunk I’d eat almost anything.

Puppet says hello.

You could use some block chain methodology to keep “ownership” of posts when you move instances. Not to say it’s easy to implement but cryptographically there are ways to prove a post was made by you. If you’re concerned about anonymity this of course works against you.

Holy shit Batman!

Now I don’t care much for making video but this makes it look like there will soon be a way to make an outfit of a subject be consistent despite a change in pose or camera angle. Maybe it’s already possible with something like T2IAdapters? I have used those yet.

In comparison to its predecessors, Kandinsky 3.0 incorporates more data and specifically related to Russian culture, which allows to generate pictures related to Russin culture.

So MetArt quality nudes?

You don’t need to convince the devs, you need to convince the managers.
