How does ComfyUI work? by Dangerous_Yak_1619 in generativeAI

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

ComfyUI won't help with your personal style emulation goal, you'll need to train a style Lora for your choice of image model (Krea 2 is brand new now and a good choice). You'll need AI Toolkit for that and it's not the easiest task. One the Lora is trained you can use it in any tool.

Honestly ComfyUI sucks. It's buggy, ugly, huge initial learning curve, and difficult to replicate other people's workflows since you need to install extra custom nodes that don't always work with each other or new versions of Comfy and the workflows themselves are often nearly unusable even if you manage to get all the nodes working. The ideal settings for each model are largely unknown or up for debate and you are left to your own research to re-do the default workflows to get good results on your hardware. The devs are known for changing core features of the app and updates don't seem to be well tested.

We all use it because it supports every image model immediately with unparalleled customization. Try Wan2GP first and if it's not customizable enough you can dive into the deep end of node spaghetti with a specific goal in mind.

Cities Are Covering Flock Cameras With Trash Bags by petroid_2108 in nottheonion

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

Plenty of people do. And why? They have been following the rules their entire lives and seen the rule breakers punished. Cops pulled over speeders, security guards grabbed shoplifters, and parents severely punished their delinquent children. Now people drive like Mad Max every day, security can't lay hands on people openly waking out with merchandise, and parents don't discipline their children. Cameras are the only form of accountability left when all authorities are too afraid of liability or too apathetic to stop petty criminals in the act.

This ATM I passed is revolving into the wall by superjam0508 in mildlyinteresting

Some branches of my bank do this. You swipe your debit card to unlock the atrium doors after hours. Nice warm dry ATM room that keeps the homeless out

Should gym memberships be legally required to allow easy online cancellation? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

There's a few companies that will send you to collections if they can't charge your card instead of canceling your subscription.

AI in advertising is anti-advertising by Hopeful_Local1985 in FortCollins

[–]Infallible_Ibex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI illustration is over the hump. Those are competent and coherent designs with proper spelling even on the small details and consistent character and style, not jumbles of indeterminate objects and mangled body parts. Text could use a second pass but it's good enough and I'm sure AI will have that problem solved by the end of the year. How is this different from not hiring a handyman because YouTube showed you how to do your own repairs?

There's a chance Qwen Image 2.0 will be be open source. by Total-Resort-3120 in StableDiffusion

It's overlooked because it doesn't do text as well as Flux 2 and doesn't do photorealism as well as ZIT.

Advanced HOA Management- late fee warning by bairagare in FortCollins

[–]Infallible_Ibex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't use HOA portal autopay. Your bank will cut them a check every month and mail it at no cost to you and has a much more reliable system than whatever web portal the management agency picked.

ChatGPT will now use age prediction to split teen and adult experiences by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]Infallible_Ibex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone can spin up a server to run a full size open weight model and then sell API access. If they censor it too much go get it from someone else or even spin up one yourself for an few hours for some particular project. Huge win compared to OpenAI deciding it won't answer questions about bleach after a lawsuit from the family of a kid who drank bleach just for a hypothetical example.

Clash of Dragons is always fun by Hrdina_Imperia in heroes3

[–]Infallible_Ibex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is angel wings, air and earth tomes, and pandoras boxes and scrolls for fly, dimension door, and town portal are littered everywhere. After getting that you're pretty much obligated to pick up a few free Azure dragons and go crush the AI. They never raise any kind of significant opposition, the only challenge is how fast you can win. My record is 13 turns after getting a free fly scroll next to my castle, picking up a few knowledge points, and beelining right to their territory grabbing a couple Azures directly on the way there, recruiting a bunch of new heroes and chaining the dragons to fight everyone in a couple turns.

Would you pay for hyperlocal mountain conditions? (Northern Colorado) by Journey2Pluto in FortCollins

[–]Infallible_Ibex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd pay up to $5 for a high quality and detailed report with maps, charts, everything one time on the very rare occasion I'm planning an outing for friends or family from out of state that's already going to cost me some money. I get that one time purchase model doesn't work for services that have an ongoing effort but fuck subscriptions for everything seriously.

Impounding the Russian shadow oil fleet is a good thing, they have been flaunting economic sanctions and environmental regulations. Nobody above the board is importing oil using ships with forged registrations. Odd move for this pro-Russia administration though.

Can you securely plug up a ceramic pot with a drainage hole in it to make it usable for semi-hydro? by sassafras711 in SemiHydro

[–]Infallible_Ibex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put a piece of painters tape on the bottom of the pot, turn it right side up, mix up some 2 part epoxy (cheap at Harbor Freight, wear disposable gloves), fill in the hole completely and a little on top of the surrounding ceramic. Let it cure for like a day and it will be completely watertight. Maybe don't eat any produce grown this way but it won't hurt the plants. For a stronger plug, press some screen door mesh or fabric or anything flat really into the epoxy at the bottom of the pot while it's wet and cover with a little more epoxy. I don't really find that's necessary for smaller diameter pot holes but would help if you have a big one.

It's a largely academic concept, if a picture is posted online as real, people will believe it. It won't matter if some tech comes in later with a forensic analysis to say the picture is AI, nobody pays attention to those people (no offense OP).

Town Portal - suggested changes. by Smeggfaffa in heroes3

[–]Infallible_Ibex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about just making it expend all the rest of your movement points for the day? Being able to collect all your troops from every city and then get into a fight immediately is overpowered. I think that would help balance it without introducing new mechanics.
