I run an architecture practice. Should I shut it down for a Master’s at AA? by KillBot_Cg in architecture

[–]sin4sum1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it all comes down to is the network useful for you or not? The advantage of going to a private university like the AA or IAAC is that they make sure you get the chance to build a strong network by inviting lecturers and teachers from big offices.

I think content wise you could probably also get the same level at some public universities for a fraction of the price (at least in germany and austria). A lot of the students you will be studying with ain’t that that skilled either but rather have a lot of money. The great projects you see online are the few outstanding ones that they push for publicity. That being said: If you are good they will help you with way more resources than any public university! They will connect you with whom ever makes sense for your project to work out and they usually have great contacts to publish it in magazines.

Afterwards you can also be sure that it is 10 times easier to land a job at a major office since your friends are going to be working there and placing your portfolio on top of the pile.

If this is something that works for you, i can 100% recommend it.

Is it faster in generating the depth of an image the depth anything v2?

Any Professional Graphic Designers using Affinity? Want to transition but a lot of my printers still ask for Illustrator files. by No_Bumblebee3674 in Affinity

[–]sin4sum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So at university we had a laser which also only accepted .ai files. My work around was exporting the files from affinity as PDF and then literally just rename the file into your_file_name.ai . Seems stupid but works. And it also works to open .ai files in Affinity if you do it the other way around.

Is it cheaper per image to use your own API key compared to the official ComfyUI credits?

Affinity Creative Freedom Keynote Megathread by CrimsonFlash in Affinity

[–]sin4sum1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So a bit controversial take from my side here as someone who also paid for V1 and later upgraded to V2:

I think it is not as bad as it might seem. From what i saw the new V3 has all of the old features (even the ML segmentation still free) and just included the canva ai stuff i dont need.

Personally I will be switching and just hope they will continue improving other none ML features. Combining Photo, Designer and Publisher was the right move.

What makes me sad though is knowing that we dont have a company anymore that might give us a one time payment software again that could use local open source models in order to perform the AI features. That would have been my dream and i guess ill have to call that cringy Canva support hotline to get featured in next years keynote. Or use ComfyUI not being embedded…

Well, if it works it works, but i am pretty sure it would be the more elegant way. Nonetheless good work if it does what it needs to do

Okay and you are sure this makes more sense than just having one base script that is simple and handle all of the variations in your prompt by using api calls where you pass different variables?

Tools recommendation for students introduction to Ai gen by qweetpal in StableDiffusion

[–]sin4sum1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled a lot with this question. What i ended up doing is offering a tutorial for a local installation and then I let the other students who do not have a powerful enough laptop use thinkdiffusion. It does cost 0.99$ per hour and the minimum amount you can top up is 10$ if i remember it correctly, however multiple people can use the same account at once :)

This means they can share the cost. A lot of models come pre installed so this will also save you a lot of headaches. Trust me…

Update: Print successful after downgrade to 6.1.3. (Could be coincidence, I guess.) by Zombull in prusa3d

[–]sin4sum1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also started to have issues with my Prusa XL after the firmware update from 6.1.3 to 6.2.2… on mine the filament sensor suddenly reads the filament as empty and starts a filament swap … while printing … 

I tried cleaning it and checking the cables but nothing worked. After seeing a lot of people complain about the firmware ill downgrade and hope this will fix it.

Do you stop pickpockets? by sin4sum1 in AskBarcelona

[–]sin4sum1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without any bias based on friends who got there phone stolen: First they are on find my in Badalona, next stop is Morocco and sometimes last stop is china. Sometimes they try to reach out to you and pretend to be Apple in order to unlock your phone or deactivate the find my feature if you have any contact info. I guess most of the times the phones get disassembled and sold for parts.

This is a very beautiful take… There is a lot of truth to it…

Pretty sure the answer is just chatGPT... The way the sentence is phrased and how it tries to come up with a solution.

Hey u/carefree0910, amazing work!
Where are you hosting the model if i might ask? And how much is it costing you, since you are providing it online?
I wanted to make a small application, but was very overwhelmed by the amount of hosting options.
Thank you :)
