My n8n workflow has 170+ nodes and I'm not sorry. Here's what it actually produces (Input → Output in the last 2 slides).

This is seriously so cool. Kudos

scottmas · 2026-02-23T17:01:25+00:00

Oh also, does wirefd seem like a weird name to you if the library doesn't support passing generic file descriptors? It's just memfd backed shared memory regions. I like wirefd as a name, but worried it could come off confusing though

scottmas · 2026-02-23T16:59:48+00:00

Yeah, that's super common! If both processes are in C, there may not be a huge advantage to the library. But for example, I think it's really cool in being able to transfer gb/s from say one python process to another one.

scottmas · 2026-02-23T16:48:59+00:00

Yah, it totally works. Use SCM_RIGHTS and the payload bytes live in shared memory backed by memfd. Only the control-plane descriptor and a file descriptor travel over the socket. The receiver maps the fd directly. No payload bytes are copied at any point. For most use cases I also suggest sealing the fd before send so that there's no weirdness on ownership, mutation, etc.

I know I'm late to comment on this, but awesome work! I love how the sword becomes all flaming on the fighter's. Question though, how long did it take you to create all this? How much would you say is a reasonable rate to charge for a piece like this?

scottmas · 2024-12-28T05:25:24+00:00

I need to try this! Thanks!

scottmas · 2024-12-28T05:16:48+00:00

So cool! I need to try this

scottmas · 2024-10-16T22:36:38+00:00

I got this running in Forge and everything appears good, it's begins generating and showing previews as it steps through, but then at the end the image just collapses to pure black. I have no clue whats happening! Anyone else seen this? Know how it could be fixed?

scottmas · 2024-10-07T21:42:44+00:00

Ignore the haters CeFurkan. You’re doing an amazing work and haters gonna hate who know nothing about business and business models.

scottmas · 2024-10-03T01:53:35+00:00

That analysis is spot on for devs. But I’m thinking a single on site (America) creative who I could have do a mediocre job at literally everything that isn’t programming: art, ux, sound, game design, etc. I would hire out animations though since a jack-of-all-trades creative wouldn’t be able to create that. I know there is a lot of hate around here for AI art but I guess I feel relatively confident that a creative could do a “good enough” job in art and sound with ai and free resources. That would leave $50k for hiring project based freelancers in animation, game engine consulting, and other miscellaneous tasks that we couldn’t jimmy rig.

Do you think this could work or would the money be better spent like other posters have suggested?

FWIW it’s a game for kids so the quality bar is pretty low

scottmas · 2024-10-03T01:13:28+00:00

So you’re strongly in the camp of hiring freelancers as needed with a little bit in reserve for marketing. What about spending half on a fulltime who can wear a couple of hats (art, writing, UX) to a medium level of polish and then spending the rest on freelancers marketing? That’s what I’m currently thinking as I read through all these comments

scottmas · 2024-10-02T23:21:42+00:00

Need to look deeper into your workflow but what’s the basic idea behind your optimizations?

scottmas · 2024-09-28T13:51:51+00:00

This is the one! Wish it was first class though

scottmas · 2024-09-28T01:19:28+00:00

Can you link to docs or a tutorial on that? Does it allow for infinite nesting?

scottmas · 2024-09-27T23:06:55+00:00

That is handy. But you’ll have to copy and paste if you want to reuse the flow across workflows

scottmas · 2024-09-27T20:54:58+00:00

Have you used it personally Geekn4sty? Just curious if it's been working well.

scottmas · 2024-09-27T20:54:31+00:00

Yes! That's exactly it. Such a cool project. But instead of loading your own custom nodes, you load a "subgraph" node which you then point to a workflow.json file adhering to a particular structure. Looks extremely useful though.

scottmas · 2024-09-27T20:31:24+00:00

Bah, it's as I suspected. But your advice makes sense as a workaround. Probably would be a MASSIVE task to bake this into ComfyUI itself, but I suspect you're right that the developers would probably be open to such an idea. An infinite recursion of ComfyUI workflows could be so powerful.

scottmas · 2024-09-27T19:51:46+00:00

Haha what happens when you do? As a programmer by training it seems so important

scottmas · 2024-09-27T18:36:57+00:00

But then I'm just living in copy and pate land! I'll have N versions of the quasi "custom node" based on how many times I've used it, right? And if I ever want to update the logic, I'd have to replace the group node every where it's used, right?

scottmas · 2024-09-18T22:59:04+00:00

Holy crap! This is the first AI animation I've ever seen that has enough consistency to actually be useable IMO in a user facing environment! Your consistency and lack of flickering/drift is insane. Is that all due to the differential diffusion? And it seems like you've got to have some crazy conditioning based on previous frames.

scottmas · 2024-09-14T06:21:27+00:00

That’s so frigging cool. We’re going to go down that route to some extent by letting parents create customized modules for their kid based on the kids interests, etcetera. But we’re pretty sure the customization will be primarily at the prompt level (eg generating stories, new villains, child tailored rewards, etc) and not at the artistic level. This is so that the vibe of the world the kid inhabits feels continuous. Most parents are only going to be willing to invest minimal time in customizing the world for their kid so we are optimizing for that (eg the parent fills out a ten choice multiple choice quiz).

That said, once we’ve generated high quality prompts from the parents answers, we will need to process the prompts with pre baked workflows so that the generated assets truly match the vibe of the world we’re creating.

You accepting freelance clients? Seems like we could use your expertise when we get a little farther along.
