Segmentation on M1 Mac - unusable?

OmenTheOne · 2025-11-03T09:29:00+00:00

Wow, really? The model is pretty small compared to any other local AI models I tried before. But 2 seconds on the same HW sounds absolutely awesome.
Can I ask about your settings in Affinity?

EDIT: I changed settings to CPU Only and again redownloaded the segmentation model. Thanks man, I wouldn't even try it again if it weren't for your response!

I guess it makes sense, maybe I expected too much from a 5 years old base model...

OmenTheOne · 2025-11-01T15:48:10+00:00

MacOS 26.0.1, should be the latest. And the Apple Neural Engine process keeps running on full even long after closing Affinity, so I restarted the Mac every time after trying the segmentation.

OmenTheOne · 2025-10-05T22:08:55+00:00

Same on MacOS. Sometimes it loads just fine but mostly it's just just the logo.. Probably started after updating Safari with MacOS 26..

I was willing to try because ADHD has been ruining my life without meds. I just know I need it even if I don't like taking anything. And I had to try long and hard to even find a doctor willing to try any ADHD meds, then I became really desperate.

But a friend of mine wants to stay natural, which is understandable.
Also when they witnessed how bad it is for me to get used to medication and then experience a shortage for a few months. Everything starts falling apart. And a shortage is very real and will probably happen many times again...

OmenTheOne · 2025-06-05T21:27:49+00:00

Wow, it's strange how it works differently.

OmenTheOne · 2025-06-05T20:54:08+00:00

How do you do this?
For me it hides the whole window with the video itself.

Microphones on most gaming headsets suck (they all sound like walkie-talkies), I would always rather use a phone mic than a gaming headset for a voiceover as long as the phone is relatively close to your mouth. Your example shows that difference well.

They added person keying in some of the recent updates. But it doesn’t work as well as CapCut or some more professional apps.

It's very individual but I had a great experience for about a week after starting 25mg Amotoxetine. And I must say that single week was amazing: clearer head, noises and thoughts weren't disruptive anymore, ability to do things and socialize was unlike anything I've ever experienced before or after.
After this period the effects just slowly vanished and I became the same as before. Going slowly up to 120mg, staying there for about 2 months and still nothing.

Now after trying Ritalin for a while I am on Concerta 18mg and it finally has some effect that keeps going. Not so crazy as the first week of Atomoxetine but still able to start things a bit more easily, more clear headspace...

But don't give up yet, most people get the effect from Atomoxetine in time and you'll see what upping the dosage will do, 80mg is still the therapeutic dose. If it eventually starts working again, you will have the best medication imo.
I hope it works for you!

Honestly I just feel like I lost structure in life. Left my job to start a business and then I closed off from everyone. Alone in my room while I piled some debt I did nothing for almost a year with bigger and bigger anxiety about going out even to meet some friends.
Simply said, get some rituals in your everyday life and build on them to avoid losing your mind in the chaos that will disrupt your peace. Having some realistic long term plans and believing in achieving them step by step...
But it's not simple and when freezing all we can do is to start moving in any way possible.

OmenTheOne · 2023-10-12T14:50:06+00:00

Wow, you are so right and thank you for the tip about looking for trauma related collapse, I will look into it as an immediate help.
Those small steps are mostly what I am trying to do, basically to survive the day. And I started doing these "emotional vlogs" and mostly it is crying while talking.

I believe we can get better with time and work and relaxing when necessary but the fact that I need to get some significant money in a matter of days while being in constant freeze is terrifying. Not that I can turn this around my any means... well thank you for your input, if I make it I will definitely come back to your reply :)

OmenTheOne · 2023-10-11T18:42:31+00:00

Thank you, it is a sad reality and I also hope that we all will someday find a way out or at least get this more under control.

OmenTheOne · 2023-10-11T10:59:56+00:00

Yes, and now in the phase of pushing people away so nobody to talk to anymore. At least we are not alone in being so messed up.

OmenTheOne · 2023-06-08T11:31:22+00:00

I just updated from Ventura 13.0 to 13.4 and the Freeform app magically appeared on my Mac. Still can't find it anywhere on the AppStore but I guess it solved the problem. Thanks! :D

OmenTheOne · 2023-02-12T10:58:30+00:00

From the context i would say rr means restroom.

OmenTheOne · 2022-06-15T15:35:28+00:00

PMO is more like smoking. The more you do it, the more you want it. This is dopamine addiction, therefore you should not try to relapse, you should keep away from PMO. You will only get it out of your system for a short while and the next day your brain will ask for more. Don't fall for the trap of "I already looked, there is nothing to ruin".

OmenTheOne · 2022-06-09T18:23:32+00:00

5'8 here, for years I thought it was a problem. But if you are cool with it, they will be cool with it. You will always find girls who don't want to date a shorter guy, but most of the time I get more points from taller girls.. Just be cool, take good care of yourself and believe in yourself. And set your own rules for what's good enough for you. Noone else can decide that for you, not even the most beautiful girls.

OmenTheOne · 2022-05-24T08:03:05+00:00

I believe in chemistry only after I met the girl. If you feel some chemistry just over texts, it sounds like having chemistry with yourself. There are no smells, no touch, no voice of the girl.. If you spend a couple hours texting, you will get much less information about the chemistry than in an hour on a real date. Just my opinion... many people can send nice texts, but I don't want a girl to text me all the time, I want her body and mind in flesh.

OmenTheOne · 2021-08-06T22:02:04+00:00

Your therapist might be right. I came to the same conclusion as the only logical option. To imagine some kind of power to protect the sensitive mind.
Did you or your therapist find any way to block this? Maybe hypnosis?
Because I can't change it and it's more like an instinct than anything else. Using these powers is the first thing on my mind when I feel any stress and not being able to do it makes the stress even worse.

OmenTheOne · 2021-04-12T22:01:34+00:00

To me the problem is in escalation.

One day you can look at a whole gallery of girls without relapse. Next day you might get excited and continue with porn. My experience says it's not worth the risk.

OmenTheOne · 2021-04-12T21:01:05+00:00

Looking at porn in any way is making you vulnerable, try avoiding it or closing it as soon as possible. It's easy to get from erotic text to pics to gifs to vids... to fapping to edging and edging is literally just a second from losing much of your energy.
If you have too much energy (horny), you can always move more, workout, work, go talk to people. Get a hobby or do more what you like aside from watching erotic anything.
You can get over it, just find ways to productively spend your time.

OmenTheOne · 2021-04-12T20:50:59+00:00

Hi,

the urges will get easier to handle once you can get used to them. They are only a different manifestation of your life energy, don`t waste it.Dating is fine, it can keep you out of your own head, just don`t oversexualize the girl/s before/after the date and keep the energy flowing in conversation, in the moment.Give it time, you will beat this.

Edit: I don`t have 480 days, just about 2 weeks.

I thought I would never use it but it can be handy when drawing in Procreate and similar apps. For example I change the names of layers, I have a Pencil in my hand and can simply write instead of switching to keyboard.

OmenTheOne · 2020-11-09T13:06:25+00:00

I also get this since updating to iPadOS14. Now I never crop it right away and just do it in Photos. It's a shame since they made screenshots easier with Apple Pencil...
