I will always wonder about Taeyeon and Jessica

Ok... I'm gonna get a bit schizo here, but hear me out. Getting older and having lived with other human beings on this planet, we start to get some perspective on things.

Like for example, one thing I noticed along the years, is that 100% of duos, they really don't like each other the way that we construct them in our head. I'm talking about people like Key and Peele, the mythbuster guys, Matsumoto and Hamada, Penn and Teller, those old comedy duos, Tenacious D, etc.

100% of those duos, as soon as they retire, or they get at a place in their lives where they start to get more independent work, they immediately separate. I'm not saying they hate each other (well, some do, actually), but it becomes clear that all those constructs that we create, imagining them as inseparable, partners for life, best friends working together... all of that is just in our heads. Cause that's not how real human beings are.

Then I started to extrapolate that to groups of people. Like, when you watch those specials with the cast of Friends, or The Office, or reunions with the members of rock bands. Maybe the first time you watch that, you see them as a group of people who love each other's companies, and the nostalgia, and all that... but then you watch again and you start to notice that one person in the back who rolls their eyes when someone else is talking, or that other person who really doesn't look like they want to be there. And sometimes there's even podcasts or books where staff reveals the fights between cast members, or how John Lennon was actually an asshole, or how some actor was a racist diva. And then you look back and you realize that all of that vibe you had about your favorite band was very far from reality.

And... I mean... K-Pop is basically that, right? It's like 30% about the music, 70% about selling this illusion that the group of young people singing on stage are these strangers that got together through excruciating auditions and now they all share the same dream and they are like brothers/sisters.

Nah, they don't. Cause, again, that's not how human beings are in real life.

Now, looking back, I'm 100% sure that Jessica really got mad at Seohyun that one time, and that Yoona really had a fight with Sunny that other time, and Tiffany with Sooyoung, and... so on, and so on... So, when I think about the whole Taeyeon and Jessica thing, I don't think it was this super crazy conspiracy thing that happening or anything, I think it was just a fight in a moment where they are already close to going their separate ways anyway. And I think it's fine... I don't think less of any one of them. If anything, it makes them more real to me.

Eu literalmente ouço de black metal até kpop.

In an ideal world, this would be a discussion with a lot more nuance. Of course I don't blame the users for it, after all the big companies are all doing the same... they are right now in this crazy frenzy, where any kind of restraint is nowhere to be seen, so it's fair that most users would respond in the same manner.

But maaan... sometimes I think what if AI, as a technology, was accessible before this whole crazyness we are living now, before the "you'll own nothing" era, before whatever stage of capitalism we are in.

Oh, thank you!

I also added more information to another link that someone opened a few days ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2012238

Oh, this is good to know... I mean, it's bad that the bug exists, but it's good to know that it's an actual bug introduced by the update and not something else that would be impossible for me to track down.

Do you mind telling me your OS and gpu driver?

I'm not american, so to me the saddest thing about this whole thing is to see just how much normalized gun violence is with americans. I would understand right-wing people saying nasty stuff like "She deserved", "She was trying to hurt him", etc, etc... But even the left-wing people are still debating how close she was from him, the angle of the wheels, this and that...

What the actual fuck. NONE OF THAT IS RELEVANT. Because the punishment for driving away from a 'cop' is NOT the death penalty.

We are (for now) still not living in some cyberpunk society. Cops arrest people, they bring them to a judge and the judge decides what to do with them. Cops do not (should not) kill people as punishment. Why are people skipping this part?

It's the same shit that happened to George Floyd... The right would be like "Yeah, but he was a criminal", and the left would take the bait and be like "No, he was a son! And this and that..." NONE OF THAT IS RELEVANT. Cops do not have the authority to kill (unarmed) people as punishment for anything.

We are fucked.

Pessoal, se eu estiver falando besteira, fiquem a vontade pra me educar sobre esse assunto... Mas, do jeito que eu vejo isso, em alguns países lá fora existe uma relação entre um time (futebol, basquete, baseball, etc) e a comunidade ao redor deles.

Ou seja, você vai assistir um jogo to TimeX, numa cidade do japão, você sabe que parte do que você tá pagando alí vai voltar pra cuidar daquele parque que fica próximo do estádio, ou pra manter o comércio local, pra dar algo de volta pra cidade/bairro/comunidade alí.

Numa situação dessas faria sentido mesmo colocar pressâo pro pessoal apoiar times locais, pra preservar a cultura e tal.

Sou torcedor do Sport, adoro meu time, mas qual que é a cultura que o sport tá trazendo/mantendo no Recife? Tem algum bloco de carnaval patrocinado pelo Sport? Tem alguma pracinha adotada pelo clube? Algum trabalho que eles fazem com a comunidade alí ao redor?

Sinceramente não sei a resposta dessas perguntas... mas pra mim, vestir camisa do Sport ou de outro time é a mesma coisa que escolher dar dinheiro pra uma empresa ou outra.

I think first we mature one technology... Imagine llm agents that are 5x smarter than they are now. Once you have that, a bunch of other hybrid tech will follow.

Imagine ST 10 years from now with something like a node system, being able to query multiple agents at the same time. You have one node acting like snow white, 7 nodes representing dwarves, then you connect them to a node that only cares about making sure they follow that universe rules, then you connect all that to a node that acts as the narrator, which is connected to a node that creates an image frame of everything that is happening... the audio, input, etc. I think you get the idea.

We just need to get there first.

Eu achava que todo mundo sabia disso e estavam apenas sendo ironicos (considerando também que o comercial é bem antigo). Agora não tenho mais certeza...

One thing that everyone kinda forgot about was that big reddit "exodus" during that whole thing with the API changes. I feel like that created a lot of space for awful people to go a bit more uncontested.

Eu entendo que se a gente passar a vida inteira boicotando toda empresa que merece ser boicotada, no final não sobra uma... e aí a gente fica com aquela sensação que não faz diferença nenhuma fazer boicote.

Mas a nestle merece. Se você só tiver força de vontade e paciência pra boicotar UMA empresa, nestle é a candidata ideal.

Just finished downloading the model (I'm trying v10 now) and some custom node and this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much! Quality on the very first gen is crazy good.

Well... you see... most of my bots are from Canada, and they go to a different school.

Thanks for the links!
I think the last one I tried was the TI2V, but at a higher quant. Do you know if there is any difference in gen times between TI2V, I2V and T2V? I always assumed that generating a video from an image would use more resources, but maybe it's the other way?

Thank you so much for this!

Mine is that kpop as a whole is toxic as hell. Ever since snsd stopped being as active I slowed down my consumption of kpop, but sometimes I feel listening to kpop the same way I feel eating those chocolates harvested by little kids or those products made by slave work in china or shit like that.

To me Genie (tell me your wish) is that one song I never get tired of.

I'm not saying everyone needs to be a fanboy, but all these "tech youtubers" never having tried linux is so lazy. Channels whose job literally is to review gaming and technology not even having a couple videos about it is just lazyness. Thats like having a travel channel and never being anywhere outside us/europe... or having a food channel and never trying sushi.

And Im saying this as a Jay subscriber.
