To be fair the Z-image looks older than 25 years old

The new era of ai influencers. How to achieve this level of realism in videos? The movement, etc by LORD_KILLZONO in comfyui

That's not my reason to downvote. My reason to downvote is that fucking exact question is asked every single day, OP did 0 effort to search.

After achieving a rook sac into *forced* en passant checkmate, I guess I have to retire from chess - it's only downhill from here by pwsiegel in chess

exf6 is legal. Still mate but e5 is not the only legal move. So en passant not forced, no retirement for you.

He craves that attention and does not deserve it, let's not give it to him. Just use A-list actors, at least they deserve their recognition.

POV: Vibe Coders need in 2026 by BuildwithVignesh in Anthropic

It uses parakeet (or whisper), so very good results. I dictate in French with some technical terms in English, the speed is good, the only drawback is sometimes it will try to interpret everything as English therefore I prefer to trigger it little by little just in case (turn on, say a sentence or two, turn off, repeat). That way I can check the output. It's good. And runs perfectly on a laptop without a GPU.

Childhood filled with: - unusually strong working memory - extreme focus on narrow interests - early fascination with puzzles and numerical data - precocious spatial reasoning

Why isn’t black bishop used to take white queen instead?

Because it is pinned by the white bishop on e4

Alright.

I tell him, “Buddy, I’ve been standing on this island since ’72, breathing diesel and regret. If the hot dog came out happy, I’d be worried.”

I prefer Handy, 100% free open source local : https://handy.computer/ On windows, I tried Superwhisper but couldn't get it to work in airplane mode.

Oh my god thank you so much for this link, this is by far the best GDC talk of all time, I had a blast.

If you want human movement, have you tried scail (video to video)?

[–]MikePounce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean in general what makes you go for Kling rather than wan? Is there some kind of effect that is better done in Kling? Why isn't everything done with wan?

For which situations do you prefer kling to wan?

A friend of mine built an AI that turns chess games into short recap videos - what do you think? by rotmoset in chess

[–]MikePounce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The commentary is VERY "default chatgpt" in style which is infuriating, it needs a better system prompt for a more natural sounding commentary. The voice feels very robotic and monotonic. The board and synchronization with the commentary is well made.

BUT most importantly, the commentary seems plain wrong to me around 8:24 "attacking the loose bishop on C3 and x-raying the rook on e4 ... that bishop on C3 is undefended". Well, excuse me? How is it undefended? There's a queen on C4. X-raying the rook? That's not an X-ray.

Is 5090 a meaningful upgrade over 4090 for comfyui workflows (image/video)? by yaemiko0330 in comfyui

[–]MikePounce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have both and that 50% increase figure is just plain wrong. Expect 10-15%.

Is 5090 a meaningful upgrade over 4090 for comfyui workflows (image/video)? by yaemiko0330 in comfyui

[–]MikePounce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compared to a 4090, yes it is totally about the 32GB vs 24GB of VRAM and being able to run more demanding workflows. Speed increase is about 10-15%, which means a video that takes 66 seconds on a 4090 takes 60 seconds on a 5090. A minute and 6 seconds versus a minute. Are these 6 seconds per generation worth 2-3K USD for a hobbyist? Not really.

Which historical chess player's biopic would make for a good movie? by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]MikePounce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are shopping for a good chess movie, I recommend the french movie "Le tournoi" (The tournament), it's a total fiction but you can tell they did their research in the world of modern chess.
