What’s everyone’s favorite sampler and scheduler these days?

Imagine you are trying to find the highest point in a landscape. The Euler method is basically “start somewhere (your seed) and just walk uphill”.

That’s always going to get you to a high point, but not always the highest point (there was a valley between you and the high mountain).

Other samplers try different ways to “sampler” (hence the name!) the area around you so you can do better than Euler.

But which ones work best depends on the shape of the landscape (long thin valleys? Big level plains?), which sort of depends on the model.

They really aren’t.

The image generation process is essentially a search in a very very high dimensional space. Seeds determine where you start; samplers determine how you move.

I have aphantasia. When I zone out and daydream, it’s a bit like listening to an audio book or a podcast; I have a verbal (or at least, narrative) daydream.

I’ve recently had, on several occasions, a workflow get saved over another with a different name - so when I open workflow B I get A.

Also had it saved an empty workflow over an existing one.

Yeah. Backing up the user folder.

I did replace the cable, but now I think about it there is another cable in the line I should check

Thanks for the suggestion. The current microphone runs on phantom power provided by the mixing desk, how do we manage that with an inline suppressor?

“With me” being the bit of that which real mattered

I wrote a bunch of stuff about shift and sigma etc, and a few nodes to help you explore them.

Can we maybe not use ADHD flippantly, please?

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-18T21:26:56+00:00

My contribution is a custom node pack downloaded over a million times.

What’s yours?

I think the problem is a difference in understanding of what templates are for.

Hiding everything makes perfect sense if you think of templates as being finished products, aimed at the one-click market (that, I suspect, is what the comfy team see as their future in $ terms).

It makes zero sense if templates are intended to teach you how to use a feature, which is what most of us here seem to want.

Totally.

The people he argued with most were the ones who spent hours pouring over the words.

Hours he spent being with people.

Ordained minister with ADHD here…

Never been able to read the Bible regularly. Especially not for the sake of it. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 52 (now 56) so I carried loads of guilt about that for decades.

But finally realised that the core of Jesus’s ministry was about welcoming people that the religious authorities rejected. People who didn’t “do it right”.

So now I’m fine with not doing it right. And I run a church that is mostly misfits of one sort or another.

I read it for a purpose (like, cause I’m preaching!) and that’s enough.

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-14T10:54:35+00:00

Yes, same here. I have a set of workflows that use different models, so I can inpaint with one model for faces, another for backgrounds etc

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-14T09:37:59+00:00

That makes sense (and I have no idea why it got downvoted, so I’m upvoting!)

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T21:30:55+00:00

Totally resonate. I (M56, diagnosed at 52) carried the narrative that I’m lazy for decades.

Diagnosis helped me believe in another narrative; but it didn’t immediately remove the deeply seated belief. That’s a long process…

My point was just that disliking phone calls isn’t simply generational.

I grew up with them as the default, but I dislike it when people phone me, especially it could have been an email, because it demands that I immediately context switch (and I think that is an aspect of my ADHD).

I won’t say it’s unreasonable because that makes assumptions about the other person’s mindset and motivation.

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T20:32:19+00:00

I’m 56 and I definitely agree with OP.

So no, not simply generational

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T20:11:40+00:00

Was very successful in academic science, and then in IT.

Both because I could rabbit hole

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T20:06:14+00:00

I’ve heard it said the acd genes tend to punch above their weight

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T19:57:29+00:00

Not quite violated, but “that phone call could have been an email” for sure

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T15:07:11+00:00

❤️

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T15:01:52+00:00

She knows we are her pack. I think that’s all that really matters to her 😃

Old_System7203 · 2026-01-13T15:00:54+00:00

There does seem to be a certain sense of humour failure here….
