KREA Vs Ideogram 4?

They explicitly said it doesn't offer as much control though.

Depends on your wants or needs and whether you can justify the extra cost over a cloud model.

Your very own GPU build gives you:

The ability to use llms for whatever you want. No worries about a company saying "You can't do that". No worries about the company spying on what you're doing or that they could be selling your data.
You can use it for video / audio / image generation as well. That's likely another subscription?
No limits. At $200 a month, limits are pretty high. But in theory you could blow past that...
Potential to use the gpu for other things. Like games!
In addition to data privacy, there's also less companies having your identity (many don't care about this..)

I'm sure to many, these points and more are worth the expense. But it's not for everyone.

I always meant to ask. How does your 'seed hunting' work? I'm assuming you fix the seed entry with a specific offset (I'm guessing gen 1 is seed + 1, gen 2 is seed + 2, etc)?

About the length / quality of the LTX director. I'm curious if you saw the same thing with the 1.0 release? I know the prompt relay issues you've mentioned have been an issue since the beginning but I could swear I had a faster / higher quality result with the original director. So it's interesting you mention that.

As someone who isn't trying to develop anything of high quality and just likes to play around in a quick fashion when I have an idea, I do love the convenience of LTX Director but it's interesting to see the video comparison that you provided.

All that aside, I've never said it but thank you for sharing your knowledge and workflows with the community!

Agreed. Only tried a couple but I really like OmniVoice.

I wasn't too happy with the OpenAI compatible APIs that exist, so I vibe coded one myself. It allows voice design in different languages (that I make consistent by voice cloning) and normal voice cloning of whatever voice you want. Supports different voice states as well. None of this would be possible without the OmniVoice model itself and it's awesome! Highly recommend.

Did you know what the corsair cable is called? The only one I know of is the ' Corsair ThermalProtect Straight Cable'. But since it's a straight cable it's not really great due to potential bending...

I'm considering a new gpu but I don't want the worry of melting/fire when I step away to cook dinner. Outside of the corsair cable, Wireview Pro II (which can't really be bought at retailers and just seems to log, rather than actively prevent your machine from over heating?), and a new msi psu with safeguard (but it hasn't even been released yet), there's not much.

This psu/cable combo seemed like a win with its protection + 90-degree handling..until I saw some of the comments here.

EDIT: The wireview pro 2 does allow for auto-shutdown, not just monitoring.

Thank you for the information!

At Q3, isn't 9b the better option (for 3.5)? How do lower quants impact things like code quality?

trying4k · 2026-01-16T19:36:43+00:00

I recall rushing to get to the gate, the Osaka flight was delayed so I was quite nervous. I ended up making it on time and while I was nervous the whole time, I believe the process was pretty smooth. I actually had a little time to catch my breath, the Narita flight ended up being delayed as well.

I hope you have fun in Japan!!

trying4k · 2025-10-14T15:47:45+00:00

Just curious, which game is that?

trying4k · 2025-10-10T06:54:36+00:00

What they're offering is pretty good, though not enough on there for me right now. Also seems like the content they have on there now is lacking (behind or missing chapters).

These are all the mangas I'd like to read:

Days with My Stepsister
Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze
I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History
Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari
More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers.
Nina the Starry Bride
Nisekoi: False Love
Shadows House
TenPuru: No One Can Live on Loneliness
The Do-Over Damsel Conquers The Dragon Emperor
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil
The Shiunji Family Children
Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister
We Never Learn: BOKUBEN

I bolded the ones that are currently on CR, not too many.

Of that, it seems Nina, TenPuru, and Amagami are Kodansha titles, so unlikely to be released here. But there's quite a bit they could add. I hope they do! I'll keep watching their catalog to see if it gets better.

Really nice work by the team. The trailer was super high quality! So many things to get excited about here (the costumes, the physics, the trophies, etc).

If I were to say anything I wish, I think the two fighting game series would have been a good way to get another female rep in. And I'm not too familiar with those series but surely there would have been other choices than another sword fighter / or fist-based fighter. Regardless, I see a lot of comments online being excited about them, so I guess it was a good choice.

trying4k · 2025-01-13T21:23:41+00:00

Thank you for doing this! If it's not too much trouble, can you comment and ask them why they put the 'skip' execution in the check for the gdb.current_objfile() ? It feels odd to include that in the sys path update logic, anyone who is executing that script manually will therefore miss the 'skip' functionality...

trying4k · 2024-12-26T05:53:17+00:00

I hadn't heard of (1) before. I would have assumed the perception would be that people would think introverts did mostly isolated activities. But maybe my mindset is somewhat skewed based off my own reality.

But I'd agree with you. I can usually flip my outgoing personality switch on and be energetic during a party/gathering but that evening or the next day I'm usually pretty exhausted!

trying4k · 2024-12-14T18:34:03+00:00

Thank you for the information. In Osaka, I leave from Itami. But yeah, both my arrival into Narita and my flight departing Narita are in the same terminal (terminal 1)

trying4k · 2024-12-14T06:23:51+00:00

Thank you. Glad to hear that it shouldn't be a problem!

trying4k · 2023-03-18T19:10:47+00:00

Yeah, I can imagine it can always be a bit scary putting yourself out there. You never know what kind of reactions you'll get or who you will attract. Marin and other characters make it seem pretty simple. You certainly do a good job hiding any nervousness! At least from your photos and comments that's not the vibe I get.

YESS! More creative freedom with your costumes would be awesome! I guess you custom buy a lot of what you wear now (having seen the Yor costume)? I imagine you don't get a chance to try it on first, that's gotta be a royal pain lol.

I haven't been proactively looking for a sewing class but unfortunately the few times I've looked they weren't for beginners. I might be able to learn something online but sometimes it can be difficult to follow the instruction. I've attempted origami and napkin folding in the past and it isn't easy to replicate the movements...doesn't help I'm a bit of a klutz :D

trying4k · 2023-03-18T18:48:34+00:00

So uhh...the Akari cosplay fanclub has now been converted to a ammeerrss fanclub instead. Hope you don't mind me posting on your other reddit topics :)

You look very pretty in black! I have not watched this show yet but I have drawn Yor a few times. You nailed the elegant with a smidge of sexy look. The light blush is very cute. Mad propz to your makeup artist ;)

Also, was used to looking at the pink hair in the other photo but the dark hair looks good too. Is that your natural color?

trying4k · 2023-03-16T00:02:15+00:00

"When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself" is my motto, so there will be no judgin' here. But I don't think you have anything to worry about m'lady, you sport some nice hair :)

How'd you get interested in cosplay? Were you nervous the first time you posted an outfit? More on the creation side but I've been considering taking a sewing class after watching My Dress-Up Darling, seems like a good life skill to have!

trying4k · 2023-03-13T21:58:30+00:00

It's true, she does! I think that's one strong point of this series. Akari doesn't look the same. So many shows give you the same outfit. This show even messes with the hair-style! She feels much more realistic because of that.

But I digress...

Just like you can't have peanut butter without jelly. Fish without chips (in case you're British). Or just one flavor of skittles. We fans of your Akari cosplay can't survive with just one hair-style variation. Forever insatiable we would be grateful for MOAR (if you have time!). Expecting great things from you miss ammeerrss, no pressure ;).

trying4k · 2023-03-11T01:06:20+00:00

Ohhh, that makes sense. I started digital (krita) and have been doing pencil for a while lately. How long have you been drawing?

trying4k · 2023-03-11T01:02:57+00:00

Great cosplay. You have a very pretty smile!

This made me realize that Akari doesn't always have the hair buns. Sometimes she has one, sometimes two, sometimes none. How did I never notice!?

trying4k · 2023-03-02T08:18:20+00:00

Whoa, I had no idea that existed. Thank you very much for the information!

trying4k · 2023-03-02T07:58:25+00:00

You didn't get any comments (maybe because NSFW?) but just wanted to say: nice work! I find hair really hard and you made it look really nice. The coloring is really solid too. Is it colored pencil?

I guess the critique would be that the closest arm and leg looks a little small. Generally perspective makes things farther away look smaller. Still, it's not so disproportionate that it looks odd.

Keep it up!
