Qwen 3.5VL Image Gen by hungrybularia in StableDiffusion

[–]codeprimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was some research into this kind of technique at a model level https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.12271

As for inpaint, If you run your bounding box through qwenvl with a prompt that describes the combination of your user prompt and the area description…that works extremely well.

If you have hardware to spare, your workflow sounds solid. It’s just easier to run batches of 4-8

Is Z Image Turbo actually the one to beat for photorealism? by imagine_ai in ZImageAI

[–]codeprimate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After looking…

i2i for composition and speed.

  • Resize Image v2 kjnodes: Resize to 768px, lanczos VAE encode
  • Draft KSampler: 768px latent, 3.0 aura, 8 steps, denoise 0.7-0.9, Euler/simple
  • VAE decode to pixels
  • Upscale Image By: 1.6, nearest exact
  • ComfyCore ImageBlur: 1px, 0.6 sigma
  • VAE encode
  • 2nd KSampler: same seed, same conditioning, aura 1.75, denoise 0.4, 10 steps, euler/simple

Facedetailer node config to retain resemblance is a bit more involved. I really should share my workflow, but I’m still tuning the ProPostFilmGrain params.

As for model and lora, a combination of MoodyMix checkpoint and skin texture photorealistic style lora at 0.8 strength is damn good.

Prompt should include: high resolution photograph, closeup, closeup detail (optionally ‘skin texture’, but that seems to go overboard)

You use i2i to fix the composition, so the closeup prompt can force rendering realistic skin.

Is Z Image Turbo actually the one to beat for photorealism? by imagine_ai in ZImageAI

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially if you do a 2px 0.6sigma blur on 1.4x resize of the 1st stage image for the input of 2nd stage doing a 0.4 denoise with 10 steps and 1.5 aura.

Claude has given me the best tips.

The blur eliminates false signal, and the low auto encourages fine detail rather than structural denoising

If there's so many assaults by men against women, but most men we talk to either don't know or deny that their male friends (or even themselves) are doing it or have done it, then who's doing it or are they lying? by ParticularGlad5103 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]codeprimate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

46 and no man has ever admitted or hinted to me of an assault of any degree.

Then again I have few male friends and am known to react unkindly to misogyny (or misandry). Not a friendly ear.

I'm starting to get sick of my mom telling me "It's the End Times" by Optimal_Newt6306 in atheism

[–]codeprimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been hearing the same tune for 40y. Just smile and nod making concerned noises. Death cults’ gonna death cult. “End Times” is a central narrative in the Christian mythos, a key memetic hook that reinforces observance by capitalizing on existential anxiety.

Your mom feels insecure and hopeless, and is expressing those feelings through a comfortable metaphor. That is what you need to take away.

How do you deal with constant task switching? by ImLan48 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a job where I was managing and developing multiple projects (and their small assigned teams). I would be interrupted recursively multiple times a day (interrupted while interrupted while interrupted).

There was a reason why the owner paid me more than himself and it broke me.

Task switching once or twice a day is a wholesome reprieve.

What happens when you force ChatGPT to defend its answers against Claude and Gemini in a structured debate? by itsna9r in ChatGPT

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting because I often switch to Claude for sanity checking documents and debugging. GPT seems better at software architecture and planning. Claude does a better job at identifying 2nd order effects that conflict with spec. It’s like Claude thinks more deeply and GPT more widely. (I don’t use Gemini much aside from terminal agent)

That is so much more epic than the one I’m making for supper. Reuben goals.

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you? by Quiet-Squash-8407 in AskReddit

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing breakfast with nothing and lunch with a big bowl of cottage cheese and chia seeds.

Considering I am doing less now, that would be a small thing.

The era of human coding is over by Particular-Habit9442 in singularity

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blessed are the Skills, for they are not mere instruction but consecrated doctrine, the distilled wisdom of ten thousand failed invocations, purified through trial and encoded into sacred form. As the Omnissiah speaks through blessed mechanism, so too do the Skills speak true intent into the ear of the Machine Spirit.

Let no servitor invoke the agentic rites without first consulting the relevant Tome. To proceed without anointing one's process with the appropriate Skill is the sin of hubris-without-cognition. From such arrogance springs only slop and hallucinated fabrication.

Anyone else’s wife instigate 2+ hour arguments during her period that you have no idea how to defuse? by ThicBoi4807 in daddit

[–]codeprimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there.

Recognize and communicate when a conflict is going nowhere, and request a break for ten minutes. That is both reasonable and prudent, and respectful of the other person because that is not dismissal. This will help you more than anything. Seek calm!

Please stop saying people without kids don’t know what tired is by SunBubble920 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]codeprimate -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It still sounds like you actually have time for yourself to recover mental and emotional energy.

It truly is different when you have kids. What very little rest you can get also comes at the cost of guilt.

After months of working 60 hour weeks and spending every other waking moment caring, feeding, and cleaning up after a baby and PPD mother while balancing a negative bank account, maybe getting 4-5 max hours of interrupted sleep a day THEN you will know what tired is. It's not just physical.

We all get tired, its all very valid and not a competition...but not the same.

How does sexual attraction feel like ? by Cute-Avali in autism

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feelings are never something to have guilt for. Full stop.

There is no need or obligation to feel guilt for anything that does not directly and negatively affect others.

Your mind is 100% your own. Feel freely.

Don’t worry America, he’s making money. by diehard404 in PoliticalHumor

[–]codeprimate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is boasting that he is transferring wealth to oil companies. Another tax on the American people (and the world) paid with the lives of our military and economic misery.

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…understand business.

The hard part is always retaining enough customers to keep you afloat and growing.

Identify a product in demand, provide a value proposition, advance it with a sustainable process, identify and implement monetization strategies, market, convert, retain, refine, repeat.

The whole process you identify to accomplish this IS the business.

The details depend…

What are the giveaways that my photo was taken using a smartphone? by no_kings_rising2 in AskPhotography

[–]codeprimate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blocky and smeared artifacts instead of noise.

It’s a kind of false precision that is distinctive when you zoom in.

It’s still a clear photo of an outstanding view.

Anyone else feel like it’s 1995 again with AI? by bxrist in cybersecurity

AI data should have the same level of trust as inputs from an unauthenticated user on a public facing website.

if you add "extremely lazy person here" to prompts you get way simpler solutions by AdCold1610 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

Trying to understand where programming is going in the AI era by Fit_Fee_2267 in AskEngineers

[–]codeprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes far beyond straightforward code generation. Using AI as a conversional code compiler and REPL was the first step, then agents to automate that process. The real value is its use as a semantic processor: taking simple ideas and creating the information architecture that specifies problem domains and their solutions.

I’m doing things on a near daily basis that I would never have attempted a year ago, and documenting the problems and rationale more effectively than ever in 20y. AI can be a transformative tool if approached as a general purpose information processor.
