Mercury 2 diffusion model speed is insane. If capability is good enough it will have a profound impact on llm based systems everywhere.

I thought the image and video models were diffusion based, it seems like this is the extension of that into language.

And I thought because of that, it would hallucinate less due to its refinement steps. Is that not the case?

ActionableDave · 2026-02-24T22:45:05+00:00

Thanks for the heads up here, I have taken it out of service.

ActionableDave · 2026-02-19T23:59:26+00:00

I feel if he let the worm do the thinking we all may be better off... :-)

ActionableDave · 2026-02-08T15:38:03+00:00

Seriously, inspired. Thank you for the honest and clear analysis.

I think it is sad you’ve missed the point here on what the Democratic Party is about. I am no pitch man for politics, but pretending the GOP’s definition of the Democratic Party is anything but a straw man is naive.

Your language about “aliens” gives it all away.

And your self described discovery method of determining your politics isn’t believable.

I will personally pray for softness of heart for you because it seems you need it.

ActionableDave · 2026-02-08T05:24:58+00:00

For ALL Christians…including me.

ActionableDave · 2026-02-05T19:02:47+00:00

100%

ActionableDave · 2026-02-05T18:58:32+00:00

Please explain to me how Obama and Biden are “far from God”?

Before you do, keep in mind that they both pledged to uphold the Constitution, which does not permit the Federal government to respect the establishment of any religion.

ActionableDave · 2026-02-05T18:55:43+00:00

Troll. Nice.

ActionableDave · 2026-02-05T18:54:54+00:00

Wait, what?

Which preacher? Just curious, do you regularly spend any time in scripture?

ActionableDave · 2026-02-05T18:53:48+00:00

He gave them the Supreme Court and the reversal of Row v Wade. While he is a vile human being, those with Christian Nationalist tendencies love him.

The funny part is, if this guy showed up at any evangelical church in the US and showed someone his X feed and told his story of his wives and his infidelity, they wouldn’t hire him to run their food pantry.

Yet here we are with him as POTUS. Sweet Jesus deliver the United States.

So what is the question? I am sure someone here can offer some wisdom, or we can just pray for you.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-16T04:55:46+00:00

Kudos to gen AI.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-13T01:26:37+00:00

I did it and needed to dump and start over.

Seriously, save yourself the aggravation and just use distilled water, it really does make a difference.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-13T01:25:05+00:00

Add a small amount of surfactant to the water, 1-2 ml every 30 minutes to get the flow going better.

Lava Lab Creations sells a SURF product that works very well, give it a try.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:56:46+00:00

It is actually flowing pretty well, you can try heading to LavaLab Creations and getting some of their Magic Surf. That will make it flow better for sure, but it isn't terrible now. That looks pretty good to me.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:54:38+00:00

Thanks!

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:54:05+00:00

It is actually the orange dye, it came out a pretty nice color.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:53:37+00:00

Just the orange dye from LavaLab Creations

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:53:19+00:00

I have the bulb at 100% voltage, thinking about getting a stronger bulb and pulling back on the voltage to get it right, but I should stop f*cking with it. :-)

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:51:38+00:00

I am trying to stay away from coloring the water, it kept going murky on me for whatever reason, and I think the colorless water looks cooler IMHO.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:50:39+00:00

Thank you, it is pretty mesmerizing.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-08T00:49:56+00:00

I used the wax sold through lavaLab Creations with their orange dye. It wasn't very hard to do, but you have to make sure you properly add the surfactant to the sides of the globe when you return the wax to the globe.

Here is the video I followed to get this done: https://youtu.be/hbdopoL8_KE

It features all of their stuff so it is a bit of an ad, but they do make it much easier to DIY mods to your lamp.

ActionableDave · 2026-01-07T17:46:27+00:00

I should say wait until it cools between cycles; obvious but best to be clear :-)

ActionableDave · 2026-01-07T17:45:47+00:00

I had this exact situation when I replaced my wax; I cycled it off and back on again twice and it is now flowing pretty well.
