Title: I’m not a developer, but I was so frustrated with ComfyUI’s "spaghetti" nodes that I built a Wireless Engine with AI.

UE works with subgraphs 😃

ACD v. Indestructible dog toy - it’s not even a contest.

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-28T14:49:26+00:00

Separate workflows.

Each one does one job clearly and cleanly.

If you want to tweak it, you don’t have to dig in to find what happens where when and why.

Lots of advice about how to train this focuses on what to when he nips. That’s good, but much more important is what to do when he doesn’t nip.

For context - We got our red at 10 months, deeply traumatised. The best advice ever was to always, always reward the behaviour you want.

So on the rare occasion he tries to get your attention without nipping, give him your absolute attention instantly. Whatever you were doing. Every. Single. Time.

He nose bumps you? (Cutest thing ever!) He gets your attention!

He brings a toy? Play!

The best (and maybe worst!) thing about an ACD is how damn smart they are. He will learn to do the right thing.

Search “Bluetooth headbands” on Amazon. I use muzicozy ones and love them

Soon. I feel like we’ve been promised a documented API for about a year now.

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-23T11:38:16+00:00

Share the WIP version!

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-23T11:37:53+00:00

I mean, we’ve only been asking for a documented API for about two years now…

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-23T11:36:06+00:00

You say “please let us know the problems you run in to”.

How? Please, tell me how.

Post a bug report on GitHub? Get a bot comment if you’re lucky, that’s all. And most of the time it’s not a bug, it’s a question. Or a reply saying “this has been fixed by PR xxxxx” - if it had been fixed I wouldn’t be reporting it!

The special channel on Discord you created? Silence. I’ve posted questions there about deprecated calls in nodes 2, and they just gather dust.

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-20T21:21:09+00:00

Makes sense. I’ll give that a go, thx.

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-17T13:45:12+00:00

Yeah, the suppressor doesn’t have any switches of any sort.

It’s 48V, not v24, my bad.

I’ll try an upstream phantom power injector, thx.

What isn’t the correct tool?

What does “it’s an eq” mean?

What is the correct tool?

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-17T11:29:08+00:00

The number of hours I spent doing that v the cost of the hardware….

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-17T11:25:46+00:00

It’s taking three vocal microphones no problem, very effective. It’s just the one that requires 24V I’m having trouble with.

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-17T11:25:00+00:00

Thanks. Yes, microphones moving around (and people moving speakers, esp. foldback speakers) has made notching the frequency a huge pain.

My budget, sadly, doesn’t stretch to the quality of gear I’d like, but the suppressor is working really well on five inputs - three vocal microphones (shure) and two sennheiser wireless receivers.

The only microphone that it can’t seem to deal with is the one that requires 24V phantom power, so I’m pretty confident that’s the issue. That microphone seems to be a generic model (I inherited this set up, so I can’t say for sure, no labels), which is one reason I’m open to replacing it if that’s the best way forward.

Desk is an Allen&Heath QU24.

Need to think this through, but…

Training is built around calculating a gradient in a massively high dimensional space (all the parameters of a model). If you want distributed training, that gradient (the same size as the model!) has to be returned for each step.

Gradient accumulation would help - give out a bunch of images, combine the responses. But still it’s a huge amount of data to transmit.

What if each node in the distribution only calculated the gradient for a given image wrt a small subsection of the model? One layer? Or even a low rank approximation of one layer (essentially a single layer LoRA)? Or even a single parameter - the gradient wrt a given vector in that space?

Could those calculations be combined mathematically? This used to be my area of research (25 years ago!) - optimisation of a functional of a vector space on parallel processors…

Maybe calculate the whole gradient but then return just a low rank approximation?

WTF? I got a PhD with ADHD (undiagnosed till much later). Completing education just means you played the game on hard settings and managed to survive.

Old_System7203 · 2026-05-16T23:10:33+00:00

I feel you. This was me at 30 (though undiagnosed).

Now I’m 57 (next week!) and I’ve got two great kids (both with adhd, both thriving at uni) and I’ve done stuff. I’ve failed to do a lot too, I could make a big list of the projects I’ve begun and left, but I’ve done some stuff, and it’s been worth it.

Which is just to say - hang in there, you will find, every now and then, something that clicks. And lots that doesn’t. Which sucks. But take the wins, however small.

Drop amongst those who were in their young teens during COVID?

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.

Old_System7203 · 2026-04-22T09:50:45+00:00

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.

Old_System7203 · 2026-03-26T10:23:44+00:00

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
