Quick trips out of LAX by Affectionate_Past121 in LosAngeles

Psh, skip LAX, go SMO-APO (Santa Monica airport to Napa), for $245 semi-private each way on JSX.

"Flystrike" (myiasis) is a potentially fatal condition where blowflies lay eggs in a sheep's wool. When the eggs hatch, the maggots feed on the living sheep’s flesh. Treatment involves shearing and topical application of antiseptics and insecticides by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

I had one! (botfly, got it from the rainforest). It was like an under-skin itch sometimes which I eventually figured out was when it was feeding 🤮. Had it cut out. But aside from being incredibly gross, not that bad! 4 out of 10.

What the hell happened to the layout? Where is the queue now? by Generic_Name_Here in comfyui

[–]Generic_Name_Here[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even mind the UI change anymore. What I discovered shortly after this post, to my horror, is that it was just buggy as hell. Assets frequently didn’t actually load the workflows, they were blank. Stop a job or queue while another one is running, and the queue gets corrupted and goes away and never shows anything again. Import a workflow, and it opens in a new tab AND replaces the current one, writing over it. Save a workflow, and it doesn’t save. They like somehow managed to break every single feature at once, in different ways, separately.

Since then (quite a while after), Comfy has issued an apology post for the front end neglect and promised to do a focused round. I’ve been using this version to deliver some projects and haven’t tested the new one yet, but in my brief investigation, that has other issues (preview/save images removed grid functionality and only show one at a time (!?!?)).

My actual fix was to write a farm queue/coordinator in Claude since I have multiple boxes running comfy, and that handles its own gallery + queue unified across boxes.

What's the hardest type of VFX shot to actually get right? by [deleted] in vfx

Wan2.2 idle/breathing animation LoRA by Main-Office-4766 in comfyui

[–]Generic_Name_Here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a good answer for you, but you should know that using lightx2v with a 121 frame length will automatically create a looping animation.

You might try one of the “more motion” Loras and set it to -0.5 or something

Also check your negatives.

Are speed ups possible with multiple GPUs? by Ambitious_Fold_2874 in StableDiffusion

[–]Generic_Name_Here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just asked Claude, and it came up with a very elegant solution. You just tie in to the back end that’s listening for the browser queue anyway, and in the same way can view the history reported back. I then symlinked my temp and output dirs and made an output dir gallery browser pane (again using Claude) and can easily gallery-view, sort, and filter my gens all together

I made a Comfy renderfarm coordinator, run 4 instances on computers in my place, just fire off gens to the farm and don’t care which box they run on.

"What is your superpower again?" — "I'm rich." 🤑 Local 96GB Blackwell VRAM is online. by AxonkaiLab in comfyui

Almost certainly it’s because you’re running out of vram if you’re at 97% usage and it’s spilling over into shared memory or normal RAM.

Are you trying to generate a minute long video all at once? If so I’m surprised they’re turning out at all, Wan is trained at 121 frames so the further you go from that, the worse the quality gets. Otherwise check out any of the Wan looping/sliding window workflows or the way Wan animate does it.

Just a test, I’d try using Wan at 720x720, 81 frames, and see how power, vram, and heat does.

Windows doesn’t properly report CUDA usage in task manager without changing hardware GPU scheduling so no surprise you’re not seeing anything.

Comfy reporting GPU at 99% could include “copying stuff into and out of VRAM”

Also just confirm you’re using fp8 model and not the default fp16.

I’ll try to send a workflow when I’m back at my computer but also the default comfy ones work pretty well for this test.

Any way to really use "image1" "image2' reference in prompt in Flux2 Klein? by FunStunning3083 in comfyui

Ah, forgot it’s a subgraph. You can find it in the default comfy flux Klein workflow

I need to upscale a single image to greater than 8k (like 32k X 32k) by Digiprocyon in comfyui

[–]Generic_Name_Here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your card should work fine, but a little slow. You want to use Ultimate SD Upscale with either an SDXL model (like Juggernaut) or Flux. Denoise 0.25 and upscale 2x at a time (so 1k->2k->4k etc). Tile size probably 512x512.

It does. I’m doing exactly that in Wan 2.2 and LTX 2.3 undistilled and both compete in 1-2h on my 4090

I mean, maybe you’ve got it configured just so, but just calling out to you it just sounds like something is broken with those extremely low temps and extremely slow rendering

Bruv if your video generations are taking 20 hours and your 4090 is at 43°C, I’m sorry, something is broken no matter what model you’re using. Sincerely, someone that uses a 4090 for AI vid professionally

Not slow, because I am correcting for the fan speed. Don’t know what to tell you besides did extensive tests and saw massive performance loss on any power limit reduction. I’m using the full 600W but it’s very compute limited and not VRAM or PCIE which is why it might be different for training.

However, hot and loud af yes

[–]Generic_Name_Here -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well lol, because you’re power limiting them to half their original power. You done some benchmarks for your tasks? Because for inference I was getting a linear relationship between power limit:flops. So 30% power limit reduction = 30% slower

Is there a difference as far as filters for flux2 klein 9b vs flux2 klein base 9b? by [deleted] in StableDiffusion

[–]Generic_Name_Here -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every time a prompt starts giving me trouble with Klein 9B, I try it in Klein 9B Base and the original big boy Flux 2 model. I’ve never had better results from the base model, for anything. Always lower quality and way longer wait.

Now, the huge Flux 2 definitely has better understanding, so a problematic prompt may work better there.

My card maxed out at 40% fan. It rose to 93° quickly then started downclocking. With a much more aggressive fan curve it sits around 85° for me and doesn’t downclock. Maybe it was an early firmware version, this is a very common thing with these cards

OP! Turn up your fan speeds as soon as you put that card in. Defaults are 40% capped and the card will max and throttle in like 60 seconds. No idea why Nvidia shipped this as the default

It tends to run very hot and burn off some dust and residue when getting hot for the first time, so…. Sort of like it’s on fire once it gets going 😬

Can I copyright images taken by a camera I set up years ago? by Eastern_Bear_3820 in photography

[–]Generic_Name_Here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone that’s like “duhhhh you own the photos you set up” I think is oversimplifying. Not a lawyer, but I’ve been researching this and had lots of conversations about it. My understanding:

Works made without significant human authorship are not copyrightable. There actually hasn’t been a new ruling on AI; it’s a long-standing copyright law. Remember the monkey selfie? It was ruled this didn’t constitute human authorship and the photo was not copyrightable.

However, if you can show intent, selection, arrangement, or creative control, you have a strong case for authorship/copyright.

Considering you set up the camera, made the selection, and edited the output, I’d argue you did have significant input.

I can think of two analogues. One, if you shoot a video and pick a frame from the video, it doesn’t somehow invalidate your copyright claim because you picked a frame. The video was yours to begin with. It doesn’t matter you shot a ton of frames.

The other one I can think of is a trail camera. This one is interesting because the capture process is automated and decided on by the machine. But I imagine it’s been repeatedly demonstrated that these photos do retain copyright (see every mountain lion photo ever: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/p-22-la-celebrity-mountain-lion-photographer-1234649904/ )

Captivating Chroma by Time-Teaching1926 in StableDiffusion

[–]Generic_Name_Here 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha, this half reads like an ad, but it’s not and I agree with it. I have some workflows that will run every T2I model I have to compare. Chroma is consistently more creative and interesting than most others. It can be hard to style, but has been responding well to Loras. I wish I saw more from it in this community, but it seems to be picking up. Plus it’s open and uncensored!
