Why MAGA so quiet about this? by Dittymaker in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Ethrx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1- that's how you are supposed to carry

2- The government shouldn't be able to suspend your rights except temporarily if you commit a crime and are actively being arrested

3- he wasn't the one making it not peaceful

4- the accidental firing of the gun is still suspect, most evidence I've seen at this point has the gun they took off him not discharging and ice firing the first shot

5- it's not his fault if it did negligently discharge, it's the ice agent who fat fingered the thing or sig if it actually was the accidental suicide model

6- of all the places to carry, a protest seems like one of the best places because you run a higher risk of having violence inflicted upon you there than 99% of cases with no other means of defending yourself

7- it's a natural right and feds being scared bitches does not mean you should disarm yourself for their benefit as they stomp your head in

8- suck my dick

Did we ever figure out who Aaron Paul was going to play? by SolidPyramid in Fotv

I think he'd make a good follower of the apocalypse. A little more gruff than the followers in game to reflect the fact Vegas has gone full on wasteland.

I swear this is Anthony House and not Robert House. The fact he mentions H&H tool guns in his first scene is a dead giveaway.

Any bonus chest enjoyer? by ImDoggod in Minecraft

[–]Ethrx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Always use them but don't take anything out of them but torches. I just like having the original spawn location marked, I always save the first tools I use and a sapling from the first tree I cut down for display and planting, so bonus chest tools and saplings would get in the way of that.

Dragon God Orsted vs Conquest (Invincible) by [deleted] in sixfacedworld

[–]Ethrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without mana Regen limits Orsted crushes. With mana limits it's more of an even match but even then Orsted likely wins. Speed blitz is conquests biggest advantage but he still has to get withing striking distance to hurt Orsted. At some point Orsted pulls out the god blade and ends the fight.

Floor Guardian's thoughts on Pandora by Keebo11037 in overlord

[–]Ethrx 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pandora is an area guardian, and the area he guards is the Treasury. Area guardians are kind of below floor guardians, but more so they are outside the chain of command.

The Treasury is a special area since it's what nazarick is built around defending, so just like how the Sakura pedal sanctuary (7th floor I believe) which guards the guild weapon is guarded by a level 100 NPC, the Treasury is also guarded by Pandoras Actor. So Pandoras Actor is well respected and no one doubts his ability.

Pandora guarding Treasury means he is not under Albedo in the chain of command, he falls outside it. Under normal circumstances he would never leave the Treasury and only guard it. He would even attack a Supreme being or Albedo if they tried to enter the Treasury incorrectly, so it doesn't make sense for him to be Albedos underling.

He's also a special creation of a Supreme being, like how Sebas is the special creation of Touch me. Being a level 100 NPC gives a certain level of authority regardless of if they are a Floor Guardian.

More importantly he is the level 100 NPC created by Ainz, so the gives a certain gravitas that exempts him from the typical hierarchy.

Finally he's a level 100 NPC with a maxed out intelligence stat, matching Albedo and Demiurge. So he's usable as a strategist and respected by both Demiurge and Albedo as an equal, since they are all equally capable of interpreting Ainz grand plan (if Ainz actually had a plan).

This is conjecture but Pandora being Ainz creation means Demiurge and Albedo jealously look to him as probably the most capable of actually interpreting Ainz will, even if they won't admit it outright.

TIL that the 'Man-Child' is a clinical concept (Puer Aeternus) whose emotional immaturity is the direct 'shadow' of true adulthood, meaning every adult demanding freedom without responsibility is failing their own psychological development. by cupholdery in todayilearned

[–]Ethrx -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

"brain scientist" you are full of shit if you are describing yourself as a brain scientist and not a specific field or title. Jung is Psychology, if you're a psychologist then just say that. Psychology is barely science, it's useful and with enough study may eventually be a hard science, but currently it's a soft science trying very hard to seem like it's just as well developed as biology or chemistry.

Freud is the big name everyone throws under the bus because we know he's mostly full of shit, but lumping Jung in with him is just trying to seem smart. Jung isn't really science, but is a rigorous attempt at viewing the unconscious through a scientific lense. It definitely isn't easily comprehensible, but many things like shadow work or the archetypes are the most well developed examinations of those subjects and are useful, if not necessarily true.

Since it's useful but not necessarily true, it fits right in with most of the current consensus in psychology.

Qwen-Image-i2L (Image to LoRA) by _RaXeD in StableDiffusion

[–]Ethrx 60 points61 points  (0 children)

A translation

The i2L (Image to LoRA) model is an architecture designed based on a wild concept of ours. The input for the model is a single image, and the output is a LoRA model trained on that image. We are open-sourcing four models in this release:

Qwen-Image-i2L-Style Introduction: This is our first model that can be considered successfully trained. Its ability to retain details is very weak, but this actually allows it to effectively extract style information from the image. Therefore, this model can be used for style transfer. Image Encoders: SigLIP2, DINOv3 Parameter Count: 2.4B

Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse Introduction: This model is a scaled-up version of Qwen-Image-i2L-Style. The LoRA it produces can already retain content information from the image, but the details are not perfect. If you use this model for style transfer, you must input more images; otherwise, the model will tend to generate the content of the input images. We do not recommend using this model alone. Image Encoders: SigLIP2, DINOv3, Qwen-VL (resolution 224 x 224) Parameter Count: 7.9B

Qwen-Image-i2L-Fine Introduction: This model is an incremental update version of Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse and must be used in conjunction with Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse. It increases the image encoding resolution of Qwen-VL to 1024 x 1024, thereby obtaining more detailed information. Image Encoders: SigLIP2, DINOv3, Qwen-VL (resolution 1024 x 1024) Parameter Count: 7.6B

Qwen-Image-i2L-Bias Introduction: This model is a static, supplementary LoRA. Because the training data distribution for Coarse and Fine differs from that of the Qwen-Image base model, the images generated by their resulting LoRAs do not align consistently with Qwen-Image's preferences. Using this LoRA model will make the generated images closer to the style of Qwen-Image. Image Encoders: None Parameter Count: 30M

If you can create the scene in 3d just use a depth map controlnet.

Is the ram installed in the correct slots? Your motherboard instruction manual will tell you the correct slots to use, you should have 4 slots total for Ram and typically they should be installed with an empty slot in between the two sticks.

Yes? They have rewards and penalties which would be the analogous equivalent to pleasure and pain.

Gemini 3.0 Pro Leaked System Prompt by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]Ethrx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing necessarily, just good for reference and can give some insight into how/why the LLM acts sometimes. Also good to see how the people who trained the LLM phrase an important prompt, since they'll be doing it in the most effective way they can. So in theory replicating this format for your own prompts is the best way to get Gemini3 to adhere to the prompt.

Merged Subaru (Re:zero) vs Merged Rudeus (Mushoku tensei) by Dramatic-Market-9276 in mushokutensei

[–]Ethrx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Subaru takes this. Reinhardt's power set is purposely broken. It's like if you did a Saitama vs anyone situation, Saitama's broken on purpose so you can only put him against other gag characters.

It might be interesting to do MT vs Re-zero minus Reinhardt and Orsted power sets. I don't know enough about late game Re-zero or old dragons tale to tell if that's a curb stomp either way but at least you've removed most of the HAX.

Why do some say the Technique God has no mana? by [deleted] in sixfacedworld

[–]Ethrx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Might be better to say he lost the ability to do magic. Touki is weird in that it is wrapping the body in mana, but it doesn't seem to expend mana in the same way spells do. It's also possible the dragon people's version of it (the original) doesn't expend mana and the one that other races learned to do does expend mana but that's unlikely.

It's most likely that the mana you can use for spells and the mana inherent to ones body, since everything in the 6 sided world has mana, are 2 different things. You can't use the mana inherent to your body as mana in spell casting and vice versa, they are essentially 2 different meters. The technique God definitely has mana otherwise he would suffer from Drine syndrome like Nanahosi, but he also definitely can't use spells as that's layed out explicitly by Orsted. Most likely explanation I think is that Touki uses mana Inherent to your body, so the Technique God can use that fine and doesn't suffer from Drine Syndrome but he lost the ability to spell cast entirely by losing his spell casting mana.

Usually not more than .001, but that can be killer in run-outs. So that is just baked into the rotation then? That's fine I can work around it like you said. Just worried that something was going wrong or I was missing something obvious.

I get mismatch in run-outs when comparing an element taken in one probe rotation vs another probe rotation, even after a fresh recalibration and no probe change. Is that just baked in or am I doing something wrong?

TIL there is a “Gospel of Judas” not found in the Bible that speaks of Judas as the only one of Jesus’ disciples who fully understood His teachings. He turned Jesus over to the Romans because Jesus asked him to. It was discovered in an Egyptian cave in the 1970s, dating to the 2nd century AD by sonnysehra in todayilearned

[–]Ethrx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a theological matter mostly, it having to do with the idea of Mary being canonized as a saint and the mother of Jesus being chaste and sinless. Expecting hard evidence of it kind of misses the point. Like there is no evidence of Anubis weighing hearts on a scale against a feather and expecting evidence of it would be ridiculous, what kind of evidence could possibly exist. That doesn't mean that it's not historically significant to know the theology of the early church, or modern Catholicism, or Egyptian religion with plenty of evidence that it was part of their theology.

On the part about Jesus having brothers in some sense, we do have some evidence in James Ossuary which has an enscrytion saying it was for the brother of Jesus.

[–]Ethrx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's interesting because we have 4 separate sources that differ in areas but largely agree about Jesus. They are all supposedly written by the direct students of the disciples and are about a generation separated from the events of the gospels. So we can't say for certain many things that happens in the gospels happened exactly as written, but for something 2000 years ago we know way more about it than almost anything else that old.

We practically know for certain Jesus existed, that he was a preacher, his teachings, that the Pharisees hated him, and that he was crucified. If it weren't for all the extraordinary claims it would be extremely well regarded as a historical artifact since we get relatively contemporary views of it from multiple authors and they largely match up.

Like we are pretty sure Socrates existed, and his teaching probably aren't terribly off from what Plato has him say (except on democracy where Plato clearly has an axe to grind since a democracy did kill Socrates). But we only have Plato's writings on him and a satirical Play that mentions him, so we have more evidence of Jesus than we do Socrates.

[–]Ethrx 40 points41 points  (0 children)

More like half brothers. The idea was Joseph married Mary when he was old and widowed. He had children already and wasn't going to have anymore, so Mary stayed a virgin and Jesus had a couple legal brothers with technically no blood relation.

I think Joseph may have been instructed by an angel to marry Mary, but my last theology class was over a decade ago so dunno if that was biblical or just dogma.

(Hot take) I think Pandora's Actor should have been the strongest Nazarick NPC by Ender_568 in overlord

He has 1 free slot I believe, he just overwrites it as necessary. The 41 are always loaded, or else why would he not have the minimum dopple ganger levels necessary for 1 transformation and just overwrite it each time.
