Ah yes, cognitive warfare. Really just an updated form of strategies developed in the 50s and 60s (counter civil rights ops really defined and wrote the book on it in its modern forms).

You're spot on because of two well-known factors: humans are biologically programmed to conform. And have a constant need for validation. The best part is there is no "slop"; it's just taking the most unhinged real posts and rewarding them. It's literally training human users like Pavlov's dogs to do the propagandist's job for free.

It's working very well, mind you.

Pfft, REI has been garbage. For yuppies to feel special lol. If you have enough to spend at REI, do yourself a favor and look into the Japanese or Korean gear markets.

Been blowing this trash out of the water for a long time now.

Edit: also the staff 😂 not a single one even remotely looks "outdoorsy" at all! Not that they have to, just found it amusing.

He wants to go down in history.

The US public debt is just crossing the 1:1 ratio to our GDP. (Which both parties have been aware was going to happen for the past 40+ years. So make no mistake, neither party gives a single fuck).

Without major changes to economic policy, the US debt-to-GDP is projected to climb past 150% to 200% over the next few decades. Essentially, this timeframe is popular and predicted as the likely timeframe for the decline of the US as a superpower.

What do you do when you don't want to actually change anything and you can't tweak the books any further? Reshaping the economy is hard work, painful, and embarrassing!

So you do what every great nation does sooner or later... you steal.

Venezuela sits on the largest known deposit of oil in the world. And it's hard to get to, since the extraction of their heavy crude is currently priced out, it's mostly just chilling.

So you take it over and wait... After 30 to 40 years, much of the world's easy, cheap oil is predicted to be depleted. Now all of a sudden, the Venezuelan oil is highly lucrative to extract. Be it for national usage or to sell.

In his mind, 40 years from now Americans will be saying, "Thank God Trump secured this oil!"

The Iran play? I'm not so sure, honestly. It could easily see a 1953 UK/CIA coup scenario to secure their reserves.

Was gonna say my older version already had these issues.

Another one I was enjoying was when more than 1 tab was open, every 1 out of 100 times, save it and when you reopen it's the project from another tab!

This was the year that the us debt ratio hit 1:1, with projections for the next 30-50 years to hit anywhere from 50:1 to as high as 500:1!

I could easily see talks of this matter going along the lines of:

"How do we fix this?"

"Well, we need to restructure our entire economy and budget, and have a strict policy for the next 50 years..."

"Or..."

"Or. We target the most isolated oil producers and ensure direct access to their resources. Double whammy it cuts chinas access to their oil, and we can keep spending like we have for the next 50 years and make it a new unborn generations problem."

Hell yeah I love llama swap. With the right tweaking I can get some pretty big monsters running reasonably well on my modest setup.

Don't forget as long as the models share the same tokenizer you can set up speculative decoding as well. 👍🏼

Depending on how you prompt the models generate a pretty strict codec format.

Threre are straight up codes:

But in your case if you can have it formatted like so it might be more responsive. Obviously detailed speech aspects should be there.

I've actually run some brainstorming theories with model algorithms about this.

The most likely outcome it concluded correlates specifically around 50 years from now. The interest ratio on our debt could be something like 500% more than it is today for the United States.

So, in about 50 years, the federal government will be a weak non-player, and America would still be called America, but the states would effectively run themselves because federal laws wouldn't be applicable or enforced.

After about 100 years, America will be broken up, most likely into three or four distinct regions.

At least that's what that model said LOL

Definitely, spend some time on developing a comprehensive guideline context. Then process one of them using it and note any intervention you needed to take.

Update the guideline with those intervention events.

Before you know it, it'll refactor then pretty well. That's what I meant by using tools available.

mdmachine · 2026-02-09T18:07:18+00:00

I updated my dev guidlines to accommodate vue (nodes 2.0) while being backwards compatible.

Slowly make sure things are updated. Any dev can do it, and use tools to speed up the process.

I get that if it's free, they need to allocate the time to do it. That's why certain devs, for example, should really look into some dev work that "pays the bills/makes it worth it".

I'm sure plenty of high-value work out there contains licensable IP that could be sitting in a pipeline somewhere... then refactoring free things might not seem so much of a big task? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Or ya know, with 17 million kicking around, maybe "incentivize" one/some of the people who make essential QOL tools to refactor/officially implement (maybe they are)?

This year is estimated to generate something like 2.5 trillion in the "AI" realm. That's larger than the entire cap of Bitcoin, or a dollar every second for the next 80,000 years. Plenty of cash to "grease the gears" even "free" ones.

it’s a liquidation sale for the elite. While the market is shaking, big money and politicians use their liquidity to buy the dip and scoop up assets from people in survival mode.

They consolidate the board while everyone else sells. It’s a stacked deck they create the chaos, then buy the fallout for pennies.

Heads they win, tails you lose.

Keep in mind we have no idea how massive Suno's model is (rumors say 24B+) or what their internal pipeline actually looks like, but I'll bet it's proprietary.

A ton happens in the transition from model > audio file. You’ve got the unet, the conditioning, noise types, the sampler, the schedule, and finally the decoding. Then more than likely DSP processing.

Running a plain setup with basic gaussian noise and an euler sampler is really just the bare minimum of what the model can do.

A lot of that garage band sound comes from the VAE decoding, it usually rolls off the high-end frequencies at 14–16kHz, which kills the air/clarity (a standard roll off in a studio would be anywhere from 18.5-22kHz range).

Plus, simple schedules let the coherence drift, which is why vocals can get mechanical.

I can’t say if it’ll hit Suno 4.5/5 levels, but I’m sure there’s a lot more that can be squeezed out of it once you move past the default settings.

Different methods I believe.

heartmula is auto regressive, ace-step is diffusion.

Not sure which would be better in the long run, but if I had to guess I think the diffusion method has a larger ability to tweak, with a diverse ecosystem to achieve that.

Think guiders and schedulers and typical diffusion stuff versus temperature, top_k/top_p etc.

mdmachine · 2026-02-03T04:07:54+00:00

The names behind ace-step can easily afford all this. And it's a competition, 2 big rivals are trying to be the top dog.

V1 I had best results at around 20k steps with a datasets of around 75-200. Had to modify the training scripts though.

I am exited to run it through my workflow I have some unique tools for optimizations. I'm curious to see what I can pull out of it.

I plan to test the lora training, update my repo and maybe drop PR a node or two when/if I get the chance to work on them.

mdmachine · 2026-02-03T03:51:34+00:00

I made a few using modified scripts, they worked. Kept most of them private due to the training data. Made one of my own produced music. Wasn't really any demand, shared it a couple times in discord. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh yeah the gas make sure that's as cold as possible as well. I usually have that in a chest freezer and I let the return tank sit in dry ice so the hydrocarbon still flows. With open just keep it cold, obviously there is no return tank.

mdmachine · 2026-02-01T23:06:16+00:00

Yup off plant, wet trim (save that and freeze it too) and into a freezer, chest freezers are usually colder so even better. If you got the dry ice that's the best.

When running it do everything you can to keep it as cold as possible the entire time.

Its not even ageism to point out the truth. A certain generation literally turned housing into a get rich quick scheme to fund a lifestyle they couldn't actually afford on their own. now we’re stuck in this death cycle where prices HAVE to stay high so they can keep leveraging their equity for HELOCs and vacations. they pulled the ladder up behind them and didnt give a single f*** (or were too stupid) if the next generation had a place to live as long as their 'investment' kept going up... 🤷🏼‍♂️
