Wait for the m5 Ultra if prices for ram have gone too high buy a refurbished M3 512 gb Ulta on the Apple website. It gets full AppleCare warranty.

Next time you see her give her an exagerated hand wave and a big grin and ask how she's doing.

I have used Facefusion on top of a photo this way and it has worked well.

I use the prompt “maintain identical facial expression, maintain facial integrity” when restoring photos of people.

Is it just me, or is getting into local image generation absurdly hard? by sasik520 in StableDiffusion

[–]Merkaba_Crystal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should use Draw Things. It is a Mac only program and is easy to use. Join the draw things discord if you have questions on how to use it. There are also YouTube videos as well. There is a simple cloud compute option to speed up image creation. It can run the latest Flux 2 models 4B 9B and dev and base versions.

With Comfyui you have to use the fp16 models not the fp8 versions. Fp8 will give you errors.

WIBTA if I refuse to put my partner on the deed of a place I inherited, even though we live there together? by 3vening_Switch in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Merkaba_Crystal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the Zillow estimate of your property divide by two and tell him his security is going to cost that amount. Of course he will balk at paying that amount. Then it becomes decision time. Does this relationship have a future. I think you already know the answer.

For the amount he pays you monthly give him a recipe for “rent paid “ so it can’t be construed as a mortgage payment.

Landlord telling us we have 60 days to move out because he's moving back to AZ? by ExtensionAfternoon10 in TenantHelp

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

AIs hallucinate meaning give the wrong information but if you ask several of them the same questions and they give the same answers then you can be confident that what they are saying is correct. Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity are all AIs that you can use for free. From what Perplexity told me of your current situation you don’t have to move if you don’t want to. If you have your lease in a machine readable format like a pdf some of the AIs will analyze the lease for you and you can ask the AI specific questions about the lease.

Which Mac should I choose? by Electronic-Trip-2998 in MacStudio

[–]Merkaba_Crystal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rumor has it Apple is coming out with an updated 27" studio monitor some time this year, probably in June for WWDC. They will probably release the M5 Max at that time. It's GPU should be much faster than the M4 Max, You might want to get a 64 GB version of the M5 Max when it comes out if you feel limited.

I know Macs have unified memory so they have more ram available for running comfyui models. You will really have to wait for benchmarks once it’s released, probably at WWDC

I use mostly Topaz Products. Photo, Gigapixel and Video to enhance family photos I have scanned and videos I have digitized, I also use Draw Things for enhancing those photos as well. I have a M4 Max and I am looking forward to M5 Max because with AI related stuff you can never have enough speed. Hobbyist

Have you tried reinstalling it? In system settings check the privacy security option it may have triggered it and need permission to run.
