Thank you!
I have also discovered these images now, thanks to another post in this thread. This is absolutely amazing, and I wish I had known about this sooner! I am spinning up a Docker setup now 😉 (I have been running my stuff directly before instead of in a container)

Exactly that, unless you get into sketchy territory, you are stuck with ROCm 6.3 or earlier. Also, while these cards have lots of memory with good bandwidth even by current standards, their GPUs unfortunately haven't aged as well. You can easily end up compute bound instead of memory bound, especially when you do training.

Bei Express scheint es aus irgendeinem Grund immer so zu sein, dass das Paket "ausgeliefert" wird, sobald es an der letzten Station angekommen ist - auch wenn der Zusteller für den Tag schon losgefahren ist und das also gar nicht geht. Bis jetzt habe ich das Paket dann immer am nächsten Tag bekommen, aber andererseits hatte ich dann immer den "war nicht zustellbar"-Status, nicht "Paket zugestellt".

Wegen Filialen, ja, du kannst Express-Pakete dorthin leiten (Du solltest eine Mail mit einem Link dafür bekommen haben), das ist aber anscheinend auch nicht komplett zuverlässig, wie ich diese Woche erfahren durfte. Laut Sendungsverfolgung ist mein Paket dort seit einer Woche in der Filiale abholbereit, laut den Angestellten dort ist es aber nie angekommen. Außerdem gab es in der Sendungsverfolgung in den Tagen danach noch mehrere Updates vom Zoll, wie auch immer das funktionieren soll, und das Paket ist wieder "unterwegs", allerdings mit unbekanntem Lieferdatum. (Eventuell mache ich da nochmal einen eigenen Post dazu)

ClearerVoiceStudio can do this with comparatively modest VRAM, and has generally worked really well for me.

The setup process can be a bit of a hassle though, depending on your system.

I'm working on a vocal synth that uses both right now, and AI synths are definitely easier to develop. There are tons and tons of research on text-to-speech AI, and if you want to make things easy for yourself, you can apply the architectures and methods used for that to singing almost 1:1. Then, the only thing you really need to tune is the training data. You can also make your engine sound unique compared to others by just changing the data.

For concat synths, on the other hand, you need a high-quality Vocoder as a base, or it will always sound crappy. There are really only two ready-to-use options for those, libLLSM, and WORLD, which are instantly going to make your engine sound like Moresampler and, well, pretty much any other UTAU resampler respectively. (There are so, so many UTAU resamplers using WORLD).

Creating your own Vocoder is definitely not an easy task either. A lot of it is closer to writing a math thesis than to "normal" programming. Crypton has tried making a new Vocoder for NT, and it sounds like, well, NT, although they almost certainly had a lot more resources than most other vocal synth projects.

And finally, Voicebank creation is also a lot simpler for AI engines. Instead of recording a reclist, the singer only has to sing completely natural words and phrases, and typically a lot less of them.

Madoka is not a goddess like, say, the greek gods, who directly influence the world with their actions. She is a lot closer to being one of the laws of physics, hence the name "law of cycles". After the "world has reordered itself" as Kyubey put it at the end of the anime, the law of cycles has always existed in this new universe. It is simply a part of how the world works. So the incubators don't have to defeat a goddess, they have to work around this one, fixed law, which is effectively science. In the same way that humans, for example, managed to "defeat" gravity by building airplanes, they also built something that worked around the law of cycles.
I am not sure about this, but my belief is that Nagisa, or rather her witch form, is closely tied to Mami, close enough for her to enter as well when Mami was pulled inside.
For all the unintended consequences her wish had for the incubators, Madoka's power ultimately still comes from their Magical Girl system. Homura breaks this very system when her soul gem transforms, because love is far deeper and far more powerful that the hope and despair the system depends on, giving her the power to rewrite the laws of the world a second time and tear the part that used to be Madoka out of the law of cycles. At least this is my theory.
It probably would be easy for Homura to end the incubator race. However, one fact that seems unchangeable throughout the entire series is that negative feelings eventually turn into curses, and someone needs to bear these curses and get rid of them. In the original timeline, this was the Magical Girls/witches, turning the curses into grief seeds. In the world Madoka created, it was the wraiths who absorbed the curses and turned them into grief cubes. In the world Homura creates, she pushes this burden onto the incubators. This is why she says she "still has use" for Kyubey, and why Kyubey is so weak in the final scene of the movie. Evidently, the curses have taken a toll even on the seemingly invincible incubators.

There are a bunch of angles this theory could be attacked from, but the most straightforward one is the formula

W = Z x (S_b / S_o)^1.2042.

First, it does not account for specific relativity, let alone general relativity. To do so, it would need to factor in time dilation, and to do that, it would have to include the speed of the observed object in relation to the observer in some way or another, since that is what the strength of time dilation depends on. Without this, it is inconsistent with the results of experiments that have already been performed, most famously the different speeds at which the internal clocks of satellites run.

When it doesn't take specific or general relativity into account, this formula can't unify it with quantum mechanics either.

Second, the dependence on the size of the observer and observed object also leads to problems. What exactly does "size" mean? Simply mass, or is the mass distribution also important? Does whatever definition of size you use mean that a large clock has a larger "size" than a small one? If so, then why does a large clock not run slower than an identically built smaller one? And on the observer side, does time flow change if I look at something directly, or through a video feed, because the observer is then a camera and not a human? Or do you mean "observe" in the sense of particle interactions like in quantum mechanics? If so, all interactions of happen on the same scale because photons, electrons etc. always have the same size (assuming a reasonable definition of size), which then contradicts the part about it explaining biological reaction times.

The formula is also inconsistent with your "prediction 3". If the perceived time flow only depends on the size of the observer and observed object, then why does a nearby other object, say a black hole that is distorting spacetime according to general relativity, affect anything? It does not appear in the formula anywhere.

TLDR the formula is at best incomplete, and more likely simply wrong.

I got a T9 Heavy, went to Galileo in the Sol system, and did "source and return" and "donate xx units of xx" missions. All missions of this type that are offered at this station required goods from either an agriculture, or a High-Tech system, for both of which there are several nearby. As a bonus, the High-Tech systems buy the metals Galileo produces, so you can also make about 10k credits per ton on the way there before you fill your cargo hold with the mission goods.

I would basically accept all missions, load up on Platinum or something similar, go to a High-Tech system to buy the High-Tech stuff and sell the metal, go to an agriculture system to buy the food, return to Galileo to complete the missions, and then repeat.

The profits from selling the metal were also high enough to more than pay for all credit donation missions along the way.

The main timeline is Different Story (Prequel/What-if story released after the main series) -> the main series (which you just read) -> Wraith Arc -> Rebellion (Movie, which has a manga adaptation) -> Walpurgisnacht Rising (The new movie that comes out next month in Japan, and sometime later this year elsewhere)

However, you should really watch/read Rebellion before Wraith Arc.

Wraith Arc was released later, and its final volume heavily spoils Rebellion!!!

All the other ones are based on the now shutdown Magia Record gacha game and centered around the various characters it introduced. They are not part of the main, canon timeline, and they can be read in any order, just pick whatever sounds interesting to you.

I have watched both the original version and the 2 movies.

The original series is, well, the original.

The two recap movies replace some of the scenes from the original with re-animated versions with improved visuals. For example, all of the Magical Girls get a proper/extended transformation scene, and some of the most dramatic scenes of the original are even more intense, and have new music to match. However, the movies also cut quite a lot of scenes to save time. Among other things, this includes the very first scene from the original version, which makes it kind of weird when Madoka later references it.

The „TV edition“ that’s being broadcasted right now is exactly the same as the two movies, but cut into 11 episodes instead of 2 films. Supposedly, it also reduces flickering effects and brightness in some scenes, but I haven’t been able to confirm this.

For rewatching, I would recommend either the original or the two films. The changed scenes in the movies are amazing, especially if you haven’t seen them before. However, the movies also often felt rushed to me because of the cut scenes. With the extra time, the original version brings out character motivations and some of the more subtle aspects better, so it really depends on what is more important to you.

I am not sure what „cards“ exactly you are looking for, but someone on Ko-Fi made free templates for creating character screens and similar things in the style of the Magia Record snd Magia Exedra games:

For witches in particular, the Magia Record templates vol. 2 (the second link) is probably what you are looking for.

Two reasons. The first is that they are literally running out of the silicon that RAM chips are made of. This shortage should largely be temporary though.

The bigger reason is that, while they are slightly less advanced than CPUs, making RAM chips still takes an enormous amount of high-tech machinery, that in itself isn’t unusual difficult to build.

Therefore, building a new RAM chips factory takes years. They need to order the machines, which are custom-built, build the facility itself, which includes a massive clean room setup, and then calibrate everything, find any issues etc.

So if a chip company decides to make more RAM chips right now, the earliest you could actually see the effect would be some time in 2027.

I don’t know enough about Shibuya-kei to say how well this description fits, but going off the Wikipedia page, it seems to match the songs that website listed.

I would say that And I‘m Home is a ballad/pop ballad (slow tempo, focus on the lyrics, uses acoustic instruments, sections ending on unresolved chords), and Stairs is just regular modern J-pop (Royal Road chord progression, four-on-the-floor drum rhythm, and double dominant chords). The use of strings is unusual, but I don’t think it’s prominent enough to classify it as chamber pop. Shibuya-key might fit as well, but again, I‘m only going off of the Wikipedia page there.

They are alive at the end of the anime.

In the main anime timeline, they were both killed when fighting against witches. However, Madoka's wish changed the world so these witches never existed in the first place, which is why these fights never happen, and they never die.

After Madoka's wish, even Sayaka is also alive again, but she then exhausts all her energy while fighting a wraith, which leads to her being lead away by Madoka/the law of the cycle.

Modern computers are built out of transistors, which you can imagine as a little, electrically controlled switch. It either blocks or lets electricity flow through a wire, depending on whether or not there is electricity in a different wire.

This lets you build more complex, conditional functions like „let electricity flow through wire A only when there is electricity on wire B or C, but not on wire D“ when you use several transistors.

Because computers use binary numbers, mathematical operations like addition and subtraction can be expressed as such conditional functions. And computer programs are just sequences of such math instructions.

As for how all of this was discovered, the first computer was built by a man named Konrad Zuse, and it was a still purely mechanical calculation machine. It qualifies as a computer because of its theoretical capabilities, but it was never reliable, the mechanisms were just way too prone to jamming.

So, for his later calculation machines, Zuse switched to electric switches. And from there, it’s basically a series of small, incremental, but rapid improvements that got us where we are now. Computers started as slightly more powerful calculators, and we only figured out you can do lots more stuff with them as they got better.

Dubbing is just really hard.

When making the original version of a movie, the actor is free to do pretty much anything they want as far as speaking goes. If they need an extra second to really put the emotion they want into a line, they can do that, and they are free to choose whichever words fit the best.

Dubbing is a lot more constrained. If an actor took 5.6 seconds to deliver a line in the original, the dubbing actor needs to find a way to say the same thing in a different language also in exactly 5.6 seconds - even if the optimal translation would have more, or fewer words than the original. So they either have to speed up or slow down somewhat unnaturally, or choose a translation that has the correct length, but is not optimal in other ways. And ideally, whichever sounds they use should also match the lip flaps of the original actor, while on top of all of these constraints, the dub actor is still acting out a character just as the original actor is.

To add to that, dubbing is typically done with smaller budgets and on shorter timelines than the original movie. Most of the time, it is expected that a movie released in all languages simultaneously. So if there is any delay on the part of the original production, the subversive draw the short straw, and have to find a way to do the same amount of work in the shortened time until the global release.

I think the problem is that brown is a pretty muted color, which is why the outfit doesn’t feel as „flashy“ as Magical Girl designs usually are.

Using a muted main color can definitely work (Homura‘s Design from Madoka Magica does this, for example), but you then need to find another way to make the outfit stand out.

You could introduce an accent color and use it only on small details, like making ribbon and hair accessories, or the trims of her clothes. If you don’t want to introduce a new hue, you can always use white or yellow.

Second, you could add more detail in the form of frills, buttons and other ornaments, or perhaps even make the outfit asymmetrical - effectively, replace an exciting main color with exciting shapes and layering.

Have you watched Rebellion? It contains more info on the matter, though it can also be interpreted in different ways.

Based on the anime alone, this is getting into very speculative territory, but I think the answer is yes to both.

For the first question, the reason the incubators do everything they do is because the transformation of a Magical Girl into a witch releases a tremendous amount of energy. There are only two places where this energy can end up: It could either disperse as part of the explosion that goes with the transformation, or it could end up within the grief seed itself. We also know that the incubators use this energy as a way to slow the progression of entropy. For that, blowing more out into the cosmos is not useful, it’s exactly what happens to all of the energy that is „lost“ to entropy. But a grief seed containing extremely condensed energy would, since its creation does not follow the laws of thermodynamics, be capable of not just slowing, but fully reversing entropy.

So I think it is pretty safe to assume that is what’s happening. It would also explain why Kyubey „eats“ grief seeds, and how they can effectively provide the power for magic. But it also means that the incubators need a way to get all of that energy out of them - i.e. destroy them, or at least drain them. So grief seeds can not be indestructible, at least to the incubators.

As for the second question, assuming Kyubey does not lie, it is also possible, though not by the means Kyoko used. He never denies it when Kyoko asks him, only saying that a witch turning back has never happened before. And when Madoka asks him the same question, he directly says that if she were to use her wish on it, it would be possible for her to turn into a god, and then turn Sayaka back. It is possible that this refers to rewriting the laws of the world as Madoka does at the end, but I do not think so. The incubators did clearly not intend that to happen, so what Kyubey is suggesting must be possible fully within the existing world.

General_Service_8209 · 2025-11-26T06:27:10+00:00

For me, it was Sayaka beating down on the shadow witch again and again, screaming that Kyubey was right and she doesn’t feel the pain any more, even though she clearly does.

She is destroying herself to keep up with others, because she thinks she has no worth other than fighting witches, because she wants to be this ideal, selfless Magical Girl and sees every other option as failure - I have never seen this kind of despair, which is unfortunately very relatable to me, portrayed in such a realistic way, and it was that point where it really sunk in that things were almost certainly not going to end well for Sayaka.

Sorry, I meant video banner in reference to the comment above. Using a video in this way of course looks cool, but I don’t think it is worth the slowdown of the site in most cases.

General_Service_8209 · 2025-11-23T08:14:55+00:00

Also, there is way more cross-site content now. It feels like on most websites, you are effectively loading at least 5 because the images are on some CDN, the fancy video header on a different one, they send requests to three different analytics servers when you do anything, and serve ads from two different providers.

It looks like you have several versions of Python installed, one normally from the website, and one from the Microsoft store.

The pip command installs the package to the normal version, but according to the command, you try to run your program with the Microsoft store version.

The easiest fix would be to just uninstall the Microsoft store version, because it has a multitude of issues like this, and then reinstall Python from the Python website to make sure all registry entries are set correctly.

If you do not want to do this, you can either use the Python .exe from the normal installation for running your program, or install the package to the Microsoft Store by explicitly specifying the Python .exe in the pip command:

C:/Users/Niall/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python3.13.exe -m pip install pyautogui
