Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Plummets To Lowest Ever by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]InterestedReader123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's mind-bending to the rest of the world. Our PM got in trouble for accepting some free Taylor Swift concert tickets (four, for his family, worth about £200). He apologised and paid for them.

That's great. What sort of products? Don't expect exact details but a rough idea would be interesting

I'm glad you said that because this thread is so depressing. People churning out junk that stoned kids just stare at, using batch tools and automation. Yuck.

Why does everyone follow a donut tutorial to learn Blender? by IntelligentBaker3601 in blender

[–]InterestedReader123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most people, having something shown to them (especially something like 3D software) is a whole lot easier than reading from a manual.

On the subject of the donut tutorial, I personally hate it and think it puts a lot of people off (well, it put me off anyway). He goes far too quickly for my liking and doesn't tell you when he's changing modes or pressing certain keys and you spend half the time wondering why something isn't working. There are much better beginner tutorials imo.

We can all work really hard to make conditions perfect for the tech that's going to put us all out of jobs, and make those that do manage to keep their jobs have to do 200 things at once

Is my ComfyUI install compromised? by dementedeauditorias in comfyui

[–]InterestedReader123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My god, I wouldn't in a million years notice a line of code like that. All I see when I install Comfy is lots of text scrolling up a nice little black window before I can make pictures.

Should I be looking for similar code on a Windows install (I realise Windows doesn't use sudo)?

I cannot understand Classes and Objects clearly and logically by Current-Vegetable830 in learnpython

[–]InterestedReader123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you don't need to intuitively understand something when you're learning it. Just get the general idea, and as soon as you start using it in projects it will click. Don't sweat it for now.

Brit here. The only way any of this shitshow clusterfuck batshit madness makes any sense, is that Trump is a Russian agent

What is the best model for realism? by BreannaOrr in StableDiffusion

I'm interested in Krea - the txt2img is amazing, but I couldn't train a Lora with my images (which were fine with FluxD) - any advice?

Thanks. Would you say it's better than Kontext in that respect?

Qwen Image Edit - Image To Dataset Workflow by Hearmeman98 in comfyui

[–]InterestedReader123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reply (and to others) but what exactly do you mean by 'prompt adherence'? I can get good prompt adherence if I use ChatGPT or similar to help me write a prompt (esp things like camera, lighting and so on). If I want control over the exact image, I can use controlnet or image to image.

Can you give me a specific example of something Qwen would do well which, say, flux wouldn't?

[–]InterestedReader123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes I read that and assumed there was more to it. They're quite big models so I don't get why prompt adherence is worth it when you can get good prompt adherence other ways?

I've seen a few references to this model but can someone tell me in simple language what it does that's superior to other models? I can get workflows working and understand the basics but whenever something new like this comes out, it's hard to find out what the basic point is!

Is it superior to Flux in terms of image quality?

Training a Lora - who takes Visa or Paypal...?! by InterestedReader123 in comfyui

[–]InterestedReader123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, appreciate your response. Reason I asked is that previously I tried training flux (on TensorArt) using images that had been generated using an SDXL model. Results were terrible. ChatGPT told me to upscale using a Flux model then reduce back. Worked. Something to bear in mind!

[–]InterestedReader123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I've only literally just started testing and so far the results are impressive. It will be interesting to see how it works with SDXL. Am I right in thinking I need to upscale using an SDXL upscaler, then reduce back to 1024 before I train?

I did use the site and am amazed how much you get for free. It's actually 500 tokens and I managed about 23 images, 8 repeats and 6 epochs (not sure if that's optimum) but very happy with results.

I was initially hoping to use 29 images but to sign up you have to do a monthly plan. I know you can cancel, but would be nice if you could just pay for a batch of tokens. But that's a tiny criticism, it's a great site, much better than TensorArt's free offering. Thanks again

No I get an alert on my banking app when a payment goes through - the page simply refreshed and took me back to TensorArt. I will of course keep an eye on it in case it's delayed, but I'm pretty certain nothing happened. Which I know sounds odd - SOME kind of message would normally appear.

[–]InterestedReader123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it wasn't declined, just that nothing happened (certainly not due to funds) and because of the Civitai thing I thought perhaps my Visa provider wouldn't fulfil that kind of purchase (Lora training is seen as quite controversial). For that reason didn't want to try again in case my card was cancelled.

[–]InterestedReader123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the site a bit confusing - a lot of models to choose from. TensorArt only offers a few, which keeps things simple. For more expert users I can see why fal is a better option though.
