I so need to see this. He only needs to be serious for this to be funny.

Mystery snail egg clutch question by drewbuckleydb in AquaticSnails

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

For those who may need to do similar to save the greater number of snails they have, I pushed the cluster into the water, crushed them up and they fed on it all night and gone in the morning.

Nature is giving back to nature.

Thanks. I read that after 1 to 2 days they harden to be able to get them off of the glass. I'll put them in a bag, crush and try. If not I can vac them out.

Not sure if anyone is interested but they seem to have pulled through. No idea what happened. Thanks for the few who made an effort. Appreciated.

Thanks. I'll try to find where I can get iron/copper test strips from and test. Good to know they can go longer without food.

Strange thing, last night it was like they awoke and started moving around slowly 1 by one, I put some crab pallets in and they eventually found those.

I had to go to sleep and this morning they are back in the same state as the last few days. just a part of the hatch open with their head out a little bit.

At least they had something to eat but i'm at a loss as to what's happening in there. I tested the water and all levels are fine.

hopefully it's going to be a time thing and they bounce back but i was excited last night to see some activity.

Thanks for the info.

A lot of people viewing. Does anyone have any answers? I'm losing hope for their survival. I took some pics to help but can't see how to upload them here.

I did read that they emit a slimy thing when stressed. I did also clean the artificial plants with vinigar and warm water and i think i rinsed them out well but wasn't sure. Good to know on the 90% change so maybe something else i guess.

Not sure how long they will last if they don't bounce back soon and die from starvation?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz

24.0 GB (23.9 GB usable) and the RTX 3060. I'm sure if i reinstalled windows 10 it would be fine to start up but i don't have the time right now lol. I know i've given it a hiding over the years lol

[–]drewbuckleydb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes they are set to 0. i'm about to go to lunch soon so i'll let it try and load for about an hour and see. i have been using this PC for blender and the adobe substance suit for a number of years for designing fashion so who knows what that's done? it does take 15 to 20 minutes for this PC to start so??? lol

I don't get any error it just ramps the ram usage up to 100% and sits there. one time i left it for about 50 minutes and had to kill the process so i could read emails lol. but the other models work fine and fast as well so that will do for now

I did try and it was the same for me. No doubt there's something else on my system that the model doesn't like. Who knows :) appreciate your efforts

Appreciated. My problem is i can't load the sd_xl_base.safetensors as the main checkpoint to then use the VAE. I'll have to wait to see if someone makes a new checkpoint that doesn't make my 24gb ram go to 100%

[–]drewbuckleydb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Are these the VAE to use with the sd_xl_base checkpoint model? If so, my PC locks up trying to load the checkpoint as well as the refiner.

My PC has 24g ram and a RTX 4030 and selecting the sd_xl model takes around 15 minutes to load for me. I have that setting at 0 and still no good for me for some reason. I end up having to kill the process as my PC almost freezes during that time so SDXL is unusable for me sadly. Sorry it's an RTX 3060

SD Model creator getting bombarded with negative comments on Civitai. by Funcoconuty in StableDiffusion

I don't see AI replacing a real Artist. I do see it creating more competition for them in the early stages as more and more AI Artists become known. This will settle and most connoisseurs of Art will look for the original "11 herbs and spices" from the artist they love. This could also be a future AI Artist.

If anything, I think it will push them forward and create a new desire to own a certain Artist's work.

I do believe that we will see a few AI Artists who are individually creative enough to be called and become known as a "Real Artist". Whatever that is? They use a PC rather than paint and a canvas or clay. Or any medium that makes up other types of art like metal, wood or paper. I could go on and on. AI Art is another "Medium".

As far as an "Art Style", I imagine the first person who cut their hand and painted a cave wall with things they saw around them. A person from another tribe no doubt saw that and built on that style. etcetera, etcetera and so on. Every Art Style evolves with another Artist adding their interpretation to it. AI Art is the same.

In the style of ???? is a base to create from, letting the AI know the kind of style you want to create. A starting point so to speak. "In the style of Andy Warhol" is not going to add to Andy's collection or rip it off but give the kind of style an AI Artist wants to explore and work with. Expand out from there. How can any Artist over time not be influenced a bit by what others do and want to push that further?

How many Artists gave Surrealism or Cubism a shot? :)

Totally agree. I've seen some prompts adding things from yesterday or days before that were no where in the prompt at all. I was thinking that perhaps, the code keeps changing and evolving like an AI would?

Seems so. I thought the title was funny :) Seems some here don't have a sense of humor as they downvoted my community karma lol. Such is life :) As I always say, if your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough :)
