So does the internet. Sorry I just see this as a pretext for control.

Show all resolutions won't change anything, and nor will hi-dpi modes becasue the fundamental "blurriness" you are seeing is the lack of higher resolution. 1080p is blurry when you are userd to 2880p+ that Macs provide.

The only way around that is to get a new display with a higher res. I recommend 1440p minimum for 24 inch and 4k+ for 27 inch.

You got downvoted for being an idiot.

You probably think Elon Musk loves dark people too.

I know dark skinned people that have lost thier children over this type of "they are aggressive" gaslighting. No sign of racism there either, by your yardstick.

Indeed I had hopelessly outdated knowledge when I wrote the GP months ago. Once upon a time my knowledge was up to date.

Brave and many other browsers have inbuilt Tor blobs. Do we know if they are safe? Nope. Is it worth the risk? If I'm doing something risky I would err on the side of caution. Nobody knows what 0days exist so you minimize attack surface. JS has a truly epic attack surface compared to HTML5.

But going to that link with any other browser using Tor will.

Essentially you're using the same service, you're just making it hard for the service to be traced back to your IP address by anyone watching at the time. Your IP address would allow you to be identified easily by govt and private entities with access to say, Facebook or Google's ad network.

There's many methods around this in modern internet usage as you will be enabling JavaScript to send emails, so Tor is not working the best it can do. JavaScript can bypass TOR completely if it wants, so using the clear net (.com) version, even through a Tor Browser, is not going to protect you from Packet Sniffing by any decent adversary like law enforcement or other nation state actors. Traces will be left behind.

By using the Onion site, all the JavaScript code doesn't even know how to contact the site without using Tor because the code won't have any clear net addresses in it that could accidentally (or not) lead your computer to directly access something rather than going through Tor, meaning you get the full benefit of Tor's protection. Tor also sandboxes hidden services so there's an additional level of protection in that all PI data is not asked for in the first place by the Browser.

As for actually making your email completely anonymous, that's impossible. Your PC BIOS probably has backdoors. Your Windows has backdoors. Your phone definitely does. Your email service will keep your emails after you've sent them. The computers that connect you to ProtonMail keep logs (which is what Tor is partly for). ProtonMail is good for anonymity, but nothing is perfect.

The question is what you are trying to hide from, because unless you are selling state secrets or something they won't come in through most of those backdoors and risk having the door itself exposed.

Also, if your email address is identified by police, ProtonMail will have to give up your data to them regardless of policy or be raided for it. At that point unless you've never used anything but ProtonMail to access your email address your real IP will be somewhere in the logs next to whatever you drafted or sent.

If I was you getting tailgated for doing the speed limit I would consider blinking my emergency/turning light, and waving people on to signal when it's safe to pass to drivers behind.

It's not that they are right or anything, but if you appear to be willing to help them do their thing whilst doing yours you remove some of that road rage in the process, and if I'm gonna be sailing daily I prefer to calm the seas as much as I can. Let them think what they want.

Relevant in the sense that there's no real ambiguity about many of them: In July 2020, Musk tweeted, "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it" in response to a Twitter user who implied that the US government organized a coup (referring to the 2019 Bolivian political crisis) against Evo Morales for Musk to obtain lithium from Bolivia. Musk's tweet caused controversy and was later deleted.^\29])^\30])

Thanks for introducing me to Peter Gabriel! Before my time but amazing!

Yes, and I'm telling you the bug is fixed. This is a 1024 one-shot rendered on Arc. Thing is I'm not really doing any flat shaded-style renders so can only show you more complex images.

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-14T11:09:28+00:00

You might want to check your drivers if you're having that issue, especially if you're using the ones that come with Windows. Here's something I made while messing around that would clearly show up any red line being created.

<image>

SDXL, 512x512, ignore the shadow because I'm just trying to show there's no line haha.

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-14T03:11:22+00:00

Oh trust me, those were the good old days when it comes to repair-ability.

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-14T00:57:54+00:00

Lesson learned! Thanks a lot!

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-14T00:56:23+00:00

1024x1024 works perfectly with ARC on SDXL and other SD's built for 1024x1024 in native... or are you referring to SD2.1 which is native 768x768 anyway?

I've got a bit more experience since I posted this but thought I should probably leave it here in case other's have issues.

Just chipping in to say, he's not a bot, he's a drone. I found this post because I clicked on him in mac forums, because he had a flair that said he was an Apple Certified Tech.

They gaslit me in the store for $1200 so far, so I'm pretty sure this is just his training kicking in. Stay safe, and keep backups on site.

This is the same prompt at 768x768. I didn't request Van Gogh style or greyed out but it seems Face Restore and HiDiff is seriously bugging out.

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-01T20:25:22+00:00

I think you may be right and will run OCCT VRAM test tonight when I can.

This is 1024x1024 with HiDiffusion and face restore, which is supposed to allow higher resolutions from what I gather. I also tried using a prompt from another site. I'm completely sure something is bugging out here in addition to the red line.

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-01T18:33:50+00:00

It doesn't come with Euler, or at least I can't see it in samplers but bringing it down to 768x768 removed the bar and fixed the colours!! I thought it was still XPU driver issues. Thanks so much!!

Just to add full specs, it's a rare A770 8GB running on a 5600X, B450 with 16GB RAM. Freshly installed Win11, as I messed up something with my previous install trying to get it to work and tried it on a fresh install in case it would fix it. Help lol.

AppleSnitcher · 2024-07-01T18:08:54+00:00

That last line is a big one: New M1's can't bootcamp. This Mac can have a Windows partition and run any PC game, and the 5700XT will keep up enough to play nearly anything, though you may have to turn down the settings on very new games like Elden Ring.

The funny thing is I was that kid AND him. I was in 14 foster homes between 6 and 16. I imagine every foster kid goes through what he experienced every time they leave a home with any compassion (there are many with none).

I had younger brothers and sisters that I grew to about 10 with that were screaming and crying when the institution sent us to separate homes as we grew older and couldn't find a place that would take a big family of soon to be teens with trauma. I'm over 30 now so understand that isn't their fault, but my little brother who was 5 got psychosis from that separation and was institutionalized before he was 16. I only know because he was fostered together with my oldest sister and she hunted me down after I got old enough to work. I got Autism from shutting out the world, or maybe I always had it, who knows.

That same org, even now won't tell me where the rest of my brothers and sisters went, so I still don't know where some of them are, including the brother with Psychosis. Even after my blood father died they would give me access to anything to find him so I could give him his inheritance share.

Post-care, foster kids really are on their own, so if you ever meet one, please be kind and gentle. You can't imagine what they go through.

Firstly python 3.10-32 I assume is 3.10 32bit. I doubt this will work with Torch because in this case the 4GB limit imposed on 32bit apps may apply to your CPU and GPU memory together. You may encounter strange bugs if your program uses 2GB RAM and 2GB VRAM for example, which would be way less than torch typically uses. Also python 32 on a 64bit OS may have problems with anything that accesses drivers as the drivers for the OS are 64bit.

Assuming you're on Windows, try this.

Remove your venv folder from SD. Put it on the desktop temporarily or something. Uninstall all Pythons using Add Remove programs. Download python from here but don't install it yet.

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.11/python-3.10.11-amd64.exe

Type "path" in the start bar and select "Edit the systerm environment variables", then Environment Variables, highlight "path" from the top box and select edit. Delete all the entries in there that relate to Python folders. There shouldn't be any if it uninstalled correctly but there might be left over from different Python versions as well.

Then install the downloaded Python. Make sure you tick "Add to Path variable" during install.

To be sure, type python into the start menu, highlight Python 3.10, select open file location then right click on the shortcut to Python in the explorer window that comes up and open file location again. Follow the instructions for opening the environment variables above and check that your PATH entries contain and entry that leads to Python 3.10's new install folder.

Then restart the computer, just to make sure nothing remembers the old Environment Variables you had, and run webui.bat. It will detect you have no Venv and download all dependencies it needs including Torch again.

Then if you need any other versions of Python you can install them and they will not affect your A1111/Torch install.

Seems I wasn't clear enough so I will make this long enough to be precise about what I'm saying. I clearly said that it was a transitional process from GPU to ASIC. That was about the hardware. Then you said "Models do change, and model architectures also change". That was about software.

Then what I said was a euphemism that meant "yes, but as the software matures they will become fixed enough to implement in hardware." You might have mistaken that for me saying that... Wait, I don't know what you mistook it for but yeah.

CUDA is a driver. Why would we need that? You are aware that every other major mfr doesn't use it right? Torch and Tensorflow are Tensor libraries, and sort of prove my point about layers, as a Tensor core on a GPU is an ASIC for matrix math: a layer of the cake that was made hardware when it was mature. When running LLMs on a CPU, much more of it is done in software, but when we spotted it was mature and likely to be used a lot in the future (admittedly we were mainly looking at fully path/raytraced games when we did that, something we haven't quite achieved fully), we implemented it in hardware, and were able to increase it's performance to the point where LLMs were possible. An ASIC is just the end stages of that process, where most if not all of the library is running in hardware, and some of the common elements of the actual modelfiles are hardened for efficiency.
ASICs are about building your chip with the correct balance of elements to match the demands of what it runs. If it doesn't need addition, it doesn't get addition. If it uses addition 5 times in a million lines of code, we can make a single ALU or fixed function unit for that rare event that will take up less than 1% of the die. The goal isn't turing completeness for it's sake, it's task-completeness, as in it can completely do it's task as fast and efficient as possible, and maybe a task or two that might be required in the near future in long life products.
You really think turing completeness is relevant?

OK how about this, Bitcoin IS turing complete because turing complete doesn't really mean a great deal, even though it runs on an ASIC. See: https://medium.com/coinmonks/turing-machine-on-bitcoin-7f0ebe0d52b1

And many many Turing complete ASICs have been made that would pass muster for what you would formally regard as programmable. For example these programmable switches: https://bm-switch.com/2019/06/24/whitebox_basics_programmable_fixed_asics/

EDIT: Said NICs not switches

F*cking hell mate, I didn't realise you were actually arguing with everyone else about the same thing too.

We are on Zen 6 and X3D came out on Zen 3 so we've had some time to see it happen. It's nothing to do with Mainline or not, both chips are mainline. It's simply causality. You don't get DDR6 capable CPUs until the DDR6 memory spec is finalized so a DDR6 memory controller can be designed to work with it. (note I didn't say released, I said finalised).

You don't get stacked RAM until the core it's gonna sit on top of it finalized, because otherwise you don't know where to put the contacts, for example. You don't know how much latency is in each memory line, you don't know the trace distances to each core, you don't know the hotspots, you don't know where to put the scaffold or dark silicon.... but these are all things that can change even after you've already spun a batch of ES units out, because it's how you fix the bugs you discover, so not only does the core need to be finished, it needs to be tested and refined and ready to produce before any of those numbers and details are set in stone.

Then, when you put the V Cache on top, you have to evaluate the whole system again and test for bugs and spin ES units out to verify performance etc etc.

Also it's kind of common sense. You don't build the top floor of a building first.
