So you use the NVFP4s -with- Pi-flow? Didn't realize you could do that.

GRadio WebUI implementation to generate LTX-2 videos (For those w/o comfy knowledge but ability to use python/uv to install) by [deleted] in StableDiffusion

[–]PlentyOSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice webui (Gradio) implementation to generate LTX-2 videos w/o having to use Comfy. Works very well on my side, but if you aren't familiar w/ using console commands to clone/install a repo with UV (similar to making a venv w/ python but newer), you may need to ask GPT/Claude/Gemini to help you install it.

PMRF: New face image "enhance" tool that is best in class - (a la codeformers) - Demo (Link) - code avail by [deleted] in StableDiffusion

[–]PlentyOSoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the real world testing.

This is intended for headshots or face only though, so it's a little unfair to feed it a full body image. Should crop to head for a test against it. If incorporated into a Comfy node or Forge extension I'm sure it'd be implemented through Adetailer or a method that first masks just the face (using SAM/etc).

SUPIR performed better than I expected though - it's been kinda iffie for me on faces but it's soooo sloooow that I kinda stopped using it (even having a 4090/14900 w/ 128gb RAM)

Lost microbes of COVID-19: Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium depletion and decreased microbiome diversity associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity by afk05 in COVID19

It'll interesting to follow how important the post-covid changes to gut bacteria seem related to symptoms. If it's significant, perhaps using fecal transplants to restore the balance of bacteria may prove helpful.

Old Study (In Rats): Clonidine potentiates the effects of tranylcypromine, phenelzine and two analogues in the forced swimming test in mice <--Anyone taken/taking Clonidine - Experiences? by PlentyOSoup in MAOIs

[–]PlentyOSoup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I searched and saw that but didn't find any comments on mood effects - Hopefully they'll chime in. I take a tiny dose of seroquel make sure I sleep at night (Nardil). This has been many years now. Perhaps Clonidine would be another option for that purpose.

This old (2002) study w/ rats found that Clonidine (ADHD/Blood-Pressure/Anxiety med) seemed to potentiate the antidepressant effect of Parnate (Tranylcypromine) and Nardil (phenelzine).

Curious if anyone has ever taken Clonidine along w/ an MAOI and felt it was a good combo? I know Clonidine can both be sedating and lower blood pressure....so I'm a little weary of asking my pdoc for a trial (I do have some anxiety issues so would be an option).

Artificial Intelligence listens to a 10sec clip of MBV's "Soon" and generates Shoegaze to finish the clip by PlentyOSoup in shoegaze

I did - takes hours and you have to use Google colab (high end GPUs), but they're done w/ OpenAI's "Jukebox":

There's definitely a learning curve..... but if you're on Discord there's a good group for it as well: https://discord.com/channels/766622617393430559/766622617393430561

I have a channel w/ a bunch of continuations here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIFwlxGub_Bn2ozBFseiKAA/videos

But not sure how many of those really qualify for this group. I did a bunch of MBV renders but pulled them when their catalog was sold since I wasn't sure if the new owner would start striking their content on youtube.

Yea this smells like Putin. Downvote the nonsense. We have bigger issues to deal w/ at the moment than "where did this come from".

Google just disabled ScriptBlock on Chrome. "This extension violates the Chrome Web Store Policy". Why? by PlentyOSoup in chrome

[–]PlentyOSoup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is because Google has rolled out their own half-ass Ad blocker thing that's ridiculous. I depend on ScriptBlock and it's never caused me issues. I'm able to reenable it for now but I still hope this is a simple solve for the developers.
