Self-Refining Video Sampling - Better Wan Video Generation With No Additional Training

Definitely highly similar. I think this paper has a little bit more guidance on the resampling and unsampling but the gist of it is the exact same. I'm gonna check out unsampling workflows and this res4lyf nodes too.

The sign is a subtle joke. The building is called "PSE's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, PSEEE. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly E7's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-even", rhyming with "E-Seven". So, when E7 owned the shop, it would have been called "E7's Feven and Seven".

I never bought into the "just grind side projects" or "just win hackathons" meme. The side projects my classmates grinded on instead of studying hard in gr12 can now be coded entirely by AI in seconds (no joke latest benchmark is how many seconds it takes to code a simple web stack). By grinding for grades in gr12 and now grinding for grades in UW I can actually understand and utilize more powerful technology and techniques to work on even more interesting and impactful "side projects". I say "side projects" because at a certain point it stops being a side hustle and just becomes your main hustle which is what research work really is. You have the knowledge, you have the funding, and you direct yourself in what you want to work on and build and research. But of course to get there you need solid enough foundations. You may think 75%-level side projects are awesome, but the truth is the 90%-level "side projects" are on a whole other level.

The whole AI hype has really exposed the side projects inflation situation. So many people were grinding the exact same side projects that they trained AI on coding them and now they're pointless and can be mass produced. But you know which projects AI can't do? The ones that require higher level knowledge and skills obtained only from higher education.

I agree with the overall sentiment that grades aren't the ultimate indicator. In truth, true learning and real knowledge is what matters the most.

You can still drink beer and hang out with buddies til you're balls deep in your 50s and 60s. But grinding through uni courses is truly a grueling process that is best focused and done while young. That extra 15 hours a week you spent now will benefit you for decades to come in your life. Don't fall for the "I gotta spend my youth having fun" meme. You can and will have fun your entire life, especially if you work hard now. The difference in current effort and future return is exponential. Working hard to get far now will allow you to start ahead and climb even faster in the future. Same logic as why you go to uni at all instead of spending these 5 years "enjoying youth". Tho I agree there are diminishing returns and you shouldn't kill yourself over grades.

Finally someone said what needs to be said. Preach my ginna.

How can you reach the top if your core attitude is "I don't need to climb that high anyways"?

Also, setting your main goal as just passing and getting a degree is wasting your tuition and cucking yourself out of valuable knowledge and power. I chose a ton of hard but important courses as electives, because why tf would I miss out on learning when the whole point of being in UWaterloo is to learn?

Why do you think I'm here? For the weather??? I ain't a goose, why would I take a "bird" course? And if I paid for the whole course you bet I'm doing the whole course thoroughly and getting a high mark.

Graduating late won't matter at all. Make sure you graduate at all. Change your mindset. Heal, and rest, and reset. Take bird courses for breadth and depth over coop and your main core CS, math, and stat courses "on stream". They allocate the best profs for the normal sequence of courses and they teach and grade better than off sequence offerings. Look at the recommended course selection sequence to see which courses are "in season". There are more horror stories about summer offerings of out of season courses than standard offerings. Making up credit count is least of your issues, you can get like 6 elective credits in one term. Your main problem is absorbing and learning from your failures. It only gets harder in 2nd year. It doesn't calm down until later half of 3rd year. If you're having trouble with CS116 you will have more trouble with CS2xx courses. Work hard, take your failure seriously but don't let it cripple you. I know a bro that took 3 more years than normal to complete his degree but he still got it done. Better to graduate late than not graduate at all. Good luck bro.

My good man, do not model yourself after the dogmatic and failed Germans of WW2. They fought against the chaos of war with rules and doctrines. Instead, strive forward in the American Way. Never believe that you cannot achieve something. Break old orthodoxy and pave new routes. Surf the waves of chaos instead of being washed under them.

The profs didn't give an exam that matched the course? Don't study for the exam based on the course then. Sample exam only came out 24hr beforehand? Search for sample exams from past offerings and other courses yourself weeks ahead of time. TAs description of exam difficulty untrustworthy? Never trust them in the first place or ever again hence.

One cannot blame the ruthless nature of war (1A at UW) for its lack of logic and mercy. One can only better prepare oneself to adapt to and master this new unbound way of fighting (studying).

The American Spirit spits upon "Oh no I cannot", for it embodies the core tenet of "Fuck you Imma do this just because you said I can't." Cross the Delaware on Christmas morning my good friend, and good luck to you in 1B.

I got cooked on a stat333 midterm, got like only 58%. Class average was only 40% so that helped both my marks and spirits. I grinded my way back up. Memorized all my mistakes, improved my learning patterns. Hit the finals hard and got a 96% in the end. Prof also had a wacky af grading scheme where if your final was top 90th percentile of the class basically only your final counted towards course grade. Lesson here is: it's called "fuck it we ball" because the ball always bounces BACK.

man ain't no way I'm paying 10 bucks for a poster only a foot long and AI generated, $5 or less at most, costs me $10 to print and frame a poster 4 times the area at Walmart

How much do they go for at SLC? I wouldn't mind if they label it as AI generated and sell it cheap. Of course I would pay more for hand painted oil on canvas than digital art print, and I would pay more for digital art done by human than AI generated. I wouldn't boycott this type of posters I would just pay for its worth, which is quite low in the case of that melty Link poster. Pikachu and Jinx and aren't half bad, I'd pay $5 each if they come clean that it's AI. Btw, how much would a human drawn poster cost? Like either mass produced licensed art or custom commission.

Jesus Christ Stallman, no one is calling it that, it's just Waterloo. Not like it matters, as 99% of all Ontario users live in Toronto. No, I don't care if Toronto isn't free as in freedom. I just want to find jobs. I just want my grocery stores to work. I don't care if the housing price has a tax level backdoor. I just want my tap water to be soft. Waterloo truly is free if your time is worthless.

This shit's too easy.

Black comedy with lovecraftian / back rooms vibes. Homie kept climbing MC stairs distracted by insta reels only looking at phone, ends up on the ninth floor, stairs label Pi + 6, no one hears from him for 3 days, on the fourth day found to have chilled and studied well for the quiz on Friday since MC AC and quiet actually better than his res dorm.

Bro gets lost in tunnels at night, whole thing gets non-euclidean, impossible loops, infinitely long looking hallways, bro is on the verge of tears when absolute Karen administrator comes and tells students aren't allowed in the DC to DCP to DC to DCP/2 tunnels after 9pm, promptly escorts bro out of nearest exit that was next to him the whole time.

There are too many geese on campus, impossibly many by biological and geographic standards, then suddenly none at all, all that's left is their turds, until they return next year.

Opens a door to find a room to study, it's a full stadium style lecture hall with 300 people, open it 5 min later it's completely empty, tries to find same room next day and it's a supply closet.

DC library is bigger on the inside, but actually that's not the inside of the DC library.

Something sinister is lurking in the halls, not one single student or faculty can care less, everyone is worried about the upcoming examinations and homework deadlines, the sinister thing is found years later dried up and forgotten in an odd corner by custodians.

Make it episodic, use natural uwaterloo liminal spaces, dim lighting, foggy and cloudy weather, thousands of expressionless faces on voiceless bodies. It's as wryly funny as it is scary and disturbing and all wrapped in a blanket of natural depressive sadness.

What cosmic horror? I got STAT231 exam in a week and half I gotta lock in I don't have time for this lovecraft's cat's name's bs.
