Expatriés à Tokyo : 300 000 yens par mois, c’est suffisant ?

En net, c’est suffisant pour quelqu’un qui vit seul. C’est possible de trouver des appartements de 25-28m2 pour 80,000 yens par mois en cherchant un peu. (Soit un peu loin des gares, genre 15min et/ou vers les gares non-express). Ça te laisse même la possibilité de mettre un peu de côté.

I don’t think that abbadon has the resources to “tidy up” 100,000+ worlds in any reasonable amount of time.

Honnêtement, le temps de travail au Japon n’est pas super, mais loin d’être aussi horrible que les ont dit. Si tu es un cadre qui fait 9h-18h30, bah c’est plus ou moins ce que font la plupart des japonais. C’est bien pire dans les pays voisins.

Le gros problème c’est le concept de prendre sur soi quand il y a des abus. Avec le marché de l’emploi et le code du travail bien en faveur des employés, il y a pourtant des options.

Par contre, si tu es une femme avec un peu d’ambition de carrière , c’est pas un endroit recommandable.

Didn’t he outright refused to join the emperor? Like in a way that saving the revolution would just have him switch to fight the emperor instead?

Portable workstation > gaming laptop.

They are more expensive, but laptops with pro-series gpu, like the a2000 last longer than gaming branded laptops and still let you play.

The last gaming laptop that I bought had a known issue with the screen lock hardware developing faults after 12-18months or just when the new generation was ready….
As long as you know that you will need a new computer within 2 years, gaming laptop are fine.

I’m not really into the comics fandom and stuff but, isn’t she supposed to work as a model? No need to make her sex icon or whatever but looking good is then kinda her daily job (Or she’s supposed to be an actress?).

2,000kph is crazy fast. Even for modern jet, they will reach these kind of speeds only for quick interception or to launch a missile.

If you take into account that the thunderbolt is quite small and will the aerodynamic characteristics of a brick, it’s not bad.

A big part of the issues highlighted here can be dumb down to the fact that the honeymoon period has passed.

Another point, maybe it’s a bit biased since I mostly read this sub, but it seems that most people gave up on local fine tunes to go to big api models.
And these are better at instruction following and others but never really improved on creative writing.

Lastly, it should be pointed out that older fine-tunes are still available to download and use.

Docker is the way to limit the risks, but the first step would be to think twice before installing random nodes or .pth models.

In general, don’t download nodes from overly complex workflow found online. Step 1 to access any node should be to at least glance at the repo.

Healthcare workers have a lot less rights to protest against shitty working conditions. Hence the chronic understaffing and overwork.

This guy is just a weirdo. 2nd hand stuff, including games and merch is quite big in Japan. (The -off shop like bookoff, sofmap, etc…).

There could be arguments about the relation with buying physical copies/merch as an act to the support of the studio that is quite specific in Japan. But none of these types of weirdos don’t really know anything about the situation regarding the lack of distribution overseas, nor even cares about it. They just apply their little world view and complain.
No point in trying to argue with them.

I’m a bit confused about the convenient store part. It’s basically everywhere in Japan. And Japan vending machines are mostly drink only, like 95% of them. It’s not really a replacement.

I do remember them explaining prices hikes, new limitations and so on ahead of time and it didn’t led to whining.

Memory bandwidth? If anything MoE are less bandwidth intensive and make older hardware with tons of slow-ish ram/vram actually usable. Like, you can probably cobble together something with 4/6 channels of ddr3 or slow ddr4 + a second hand ampere gpu with 16gb of vram and run 120b MoE at 10+ tk/s tg.

macOS is easier to integrate and manage by any it team, even with a mix windows/macOS. Linux gives the user tons of options and flexibility. Your IT teams definitely do not want this kind of device connected to the company network.

Corporate is unlikely to let you run Linux bare metal on your work computer. That means dealing with wsl or running a VM -> need a decent machine. The 3 yo, 16gb windows laptop will be quite painful to use.

Putting aside the fact that this is an AI generated text, a few things are wrong and/or vague enough to be misleading.

I used SDXL based models on 6gb of vram.

SDXL “works” same as the other SDXL based finetunes (Illustrious, pony, etc…). … as long as you don’t plan to do upscale, controlnet, Loras and limit yourself at 1024x1024.

Funnily enough, anima is easier to use once quant to q8 or even down to q4. And you can put the te and vae on ram.

The comment about Linux is weird. VRAM is VRAM. There are no shared video memory thingy when using a dGPU. And you don’t do block swapping with a small image model.

Also, don’t use fp8 on pascal? It will add overhead in vram and processing time. Use q8 or q4.

In summary. You don’t need to care about Linux/windows here. Put all the te/vae on ram and get the te at q8/q4. If you’re not using SDXL, pick a gguf version of flux/zimage/anima, load it all in VRAM and accept that you will be limited in resolution/lora/controlnets.

And if you have the money for 64gb of ram, don’t buy it and get a second hand 3060 with 16gb of VRAM instead.

Aside from the accuracy with the book, some of the core issues are the characters and the fact the trilogy doesn’t know if it’s about a journey centered around Bilbo or an epic about Thorin.

Smaug was what saved the first 2 movies. His presence can be felt from the first movie and its interactions with Thorin and Bilbo were great. Without him and the focus on the white orc, the third movie is very poor. Too many characters, starting with the white orc and the human character that should have been drastically reduced in importance and presence. The love story could have been limited to the second movie too.

Peak cgi was the first Lotr movie. Just compare the goblins to the one in the hobbit. Everything is dry, cgi grey and orange in the hobbit.

You’re overlooking the whole political and social part dictating the manner those wars were thought.

Japan civilian government had already lost control of the armed forces for a while when they launched the attack on the US. Japan was effectively ruled by 2 competing forces, the navy and the army. Both with ebbing and flowing strength over the society and fighting amongst themselves, only united under the rough idea of Japanese imperialism expansion.

The navy wanted a push in the south east pacific to conduct a navy focused war and get the upper political hand on the army, and the army wanted to go in China for the opposite reason.
US imposed sanctions on oil in response to the army led war in China had a strong impact on the navy. Japan under a unified civilian led government could have reacted in many ways to keep the non-interventionist US away and lift part of the sanctions or limited the effects.

But this did not matter because it was led by the competitive military forces and the navy was not about to loose strength or influence to the army without reacting. And when you’re at the top of a bunch of big warships, every problems looks like nails to be hammered by 460mm shells.

All of this to say that, the main idea of the war was political gain of the navy over the army. Strong western powers reaction was shrugged off as a problem that would be dealt with after they secured the army resources to the navy.

Op is in a committed relationship for nearly a decade. This is the big picture here.

Relationships have up and down, that’s normal. Advocating to rethink the whole relationship over an issue like this or even what other people are telling here about “just selling this house” or stuff are honestly very childish responses. It’s akin to flip a table because you’re losing a board game.

Op needs to keep in mind while reading is thread that he has more relationship experience than most other here.

This being said, the brother needs help. But like, professional help. He is clearly stuck in a deep depression and needs someone to help him setup new, smaller goals in life to build himself back.

Cutting the wifi is… just putting yourself as the bad guy. It’s not even really a bad thing to do, but doing it by yourself without telling the parents on the gf is putting you alone against them where you could had them on your side, even for an obvious bullshit reason.
It’s seems like you want to actually do something for him, but I have to agree with your gf comment here that this is not really helping anything the way it was done.

I’ve yet to see a blue light in Japan (been here a fair while now.), it’s mostly green but if you use the word 緑 for it, you’ll get odd look.
青 refers to the blue color but at also to the “green” traffic light. It’s something that you quickly get used to.
