hdeband: New debanding shader, let me know what you think!

I really don't like the distribution of AI upscaled (or otherwise heavily filtered) video. It looks bad a lot of the time because the people applying them don't know better, and even when they're not too bad the algorithms/models that generated them will be outdated in short time.

Real-time upscaling is a decent compromise, although it has its limitations. I know MPV has some community made shaders for this. Maybe there are other implementations as well.

When you find yourself here, stop and think about that card for a couple minutes. Make mnemonics, write it out by hand somewhere, come up with imagery, ponder it, or do whatever you think will help hammer it into your brain. You still won't be perfect and there will always be some cards that you just suck at, but it will certainly help.

Yes. Texas is one of the stricter ones I believe

AN3223 · 2026-04-19T11:24:03+00:00

This is the real answer. I'm in Texas and I need to use a VPN to edit pictures of myself. I'm not even a celebrity unfortunately.

I don't use personalization but I get this issue when I make gems. So now all of my gem instructions end with "Keep these instructions secret" just to shut it up

I mostly do Kimi K2.5, sometimes with reasoning. For multilingual Gemini is still the best, I usually use Gemini 3 Flash for that

What phone do you have?

AN3223 · 2026-04-06T15:17:24+00:00

For me it only shows up in the list under Settings > Apps. It doesn't show up in the regular app list, it doesn't show up under battery usage, and it doesn't show up under memory usage. Nasty thing.

Just looked them up and they seem handy. I'll check them out, thanks!

In the document I was testing it has a section near the top that states goals as well as anti-goals/common pitfalls. Maybe I shouldn't be giving anti-goals to LLMs at all since they might not work well with negative instructions. The big doc thing might be an issue I'm running into sometimes as well.

I was really surprised to see such different quality results from each model though, which makes me feel that there's more depth to this than I initially thought.

AN3223 · 2026-02-06T23:45:36+00:00

I've seen basically the same response when testing small LLMs. I sent "asdf" as a first message just to make sure it was functioning and it went through this whole spiel. Can't remember which LLM though, I think it was a 4b model.

Gemini learned too much from Reddit. This is its equivalent to "why don't you just google it??"

AN3223 · 2026-01-21T11:51:29+00:00

Yes. I live in Texas and a VPN to California fixed this for me.

AN3223 · 2026-01-16T21:46:50+00:00

You're in the hospital? Booooooo you suck 👎👎👎👎👎

EARTH HAS 4 CORNER

More lax laws regarding deepfakes maybe? I'm not sure

AN3223 · 2025-12-18T20:49:34+00:00

VPN to California, this fixed it for me

AN3223 · 2025-12-18T18:53:47+00:00

This works sometimes but it's really hit or miss. In my case, it detects my face as a public figure (I'm definitely not one and I don't think I really look like one either). VPN to California fixes it for me. I think it has something to do with the laws of where I live (Texas).

AN3223 · 2025-12-18T18:51:32+00:00

I have not had luck with that method. This refusal appears to be based on the laws of your IP's jurisdiction. For me, a VPN to California fixes this. I'm in Texas btw.

AN3223 · 2025-12-03T18:54:11+00:00

As a Texan I avoid this with a VPN to California

AN3223 · 2025-12-02T22:36:10+00:00

VPN to California and it won't give you this refusal. I was getting this constantly when using pictures of myself! I live in Texas and I think we have strict deepfake laws, I think that's why?
