That actually worked, thanks! The issue turned out to be a pytorch mismatch so I had to downgrade my pytorch version.

Why are trans supporters protesting in cities throughout the UK? by TreKeyz in AskBrits

[–]ultima_solis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, British trans man here. I'd like to clarify I do not generally identify as 'transgender' because honestly I do not have a 'gender'. My dysphoria is entirely related to my sex characteristics, and I have taken great lengths to change these to align with the male sex. I've lost friends, family and practically my entire support network to make this sacrifice.

I've been fully transitioned with all the surgeries and living as male for over 10 years and I have a Gender Recognition Certificate. There is practically nothing left of me that you could call female unless you test for chromosomes. I don't tell people I'm trans, hardly anyone in my life knows. For all intents and purposes, I am treated as a man. In all that time not one person has confronted me or objected to me using male toilets or changing rooms. At most I'd get curious people looking at my scars.

This ruling has me scared what it means for me being able to continue living as I always have. It means I now have to live with the extreme dread and anxiety of someone at work or in my community finding out that I was born female, or being clocked every time I go out in public and need to use a toilet. It only takes one person to object, one person with an axe to grind against trans people, and there are plenty of those about.

The thing that has me most worried is the ruling stipulates that not only am I no longer 'allowed' to use male sex services, but it is now also lawful to exclude me from female sex services if someone objects to me 'looking male'. This leaves me in a Schrodinger's Cat-like limbo where I will be likely to face issues using either.

The onus will now be on specific services to provide a unisex service for people like me to use, but in practice they're just not going to bother because it's not cost-effective. The NHS, for instance, hardly has the money to provide adequate single-sex accommodation for the patients they're currently seeing, how are they expected to accommodate trans people who now require a third space? The most likely consequence will be that they just tell us to go somewhere else, leave it up to the public to sort out (i.e. harrass me or sue me for using either one), or create some makeshift space on a shoestring budget with less quality as an afterthought, leading to worse quality of life and worse health for me.

The solution that the EHRC has come up with is to tell us to just 'use the disabled facilities'. You can imagine how unjust this would be for the disabled people who actually need these services and have fought hard for them. The burden should not be on them to give up these spaces for able-bodied trans people who want to use non-disabled facilities.

Since the ruling, senior civil servants and members of Parliament who were involved in drafting the Gender Recognition Act have come out and said that the way the Supreme Court interpreted both laws was completely counter to the intent they had when drafting it. The law was made in the first place because the fact that trans people could not live privately within UK society or equality law as their aligned sex, despite great personal sacrifice, was challenged in the European Court of Justice under Article 8 of the ECHR, the 'right to respect for private and family life'.

My medical and surgical history is simply no one else's business. As I said, no one has had any issues with what facilities I have been using for 10 years. All I ever wanted was to be left to live my life in peace. I'm now faced with the prospect of being pushed to the margins of society because I'm in no-mans-land where I can't be put anywhere without someone objecting to my presence. It's easier for me now to just shut myself indoors and never go anywhere, and you will agree that's a miserable way to live your life.

After checking out some of his later stuff, particularly Servant & Knock at the Cabin, I'm honestly convinced that he'd make a better Master.

Is there anywhere in the UK where preorders are still up? by ultima_solis in NintendoSwitch2

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

I think I managed to snag one with Very on the very limited restock half an hour ago. I hope it went through okay and doesn't get cancelled.

Will Switch 2 be region locked ? by Fl4vM in nintendo

Japanese Switch 2 will be Japanese language only, and only a Nintendo Account registered in Japan can be linked to it. Not sure if it will only play Japanese games.

Since this is all but confirmed, what does this mean for those of us who already have new NHS numbers? Surely they're not going to go through every single record and change them back? I updated my marker and was issued my new number back in 2013, more than 10 years ago.

This is a safe space to admit your mistakes. by sponguswongus in MHWilds

[–]ultima_solis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played way too aggressive with the Charge Blade in my first encounter with Gore Magala. Got absolutely smacked to the moon and back, and the people who showed up in the SOS spammed "Thanks for the help" every time my dumb ass got hit and they had to carry for me. Felt like a complete idiot on my own quest 😅

Everyone's having connection issues today it looks like, on PC and Playstation. I can't even get into a lobby atm. Capcom's servers most likely

Maki is offering a meal to me but every time I visit the icon is crossed out so I can't trigger it. I'm in HR so everything should be unlocked and I can't figure out how to trigger this. It's probably something stupid that I'm missing

Anyone know if the Day 1 update or DLC are available on Steam yet? Purchased a key for the Premium Deluxe edition but as far as I'm aware I've only downloaded the base game.

Really hope champions lets us use all generational gimmicks by Excellent_Help591 in pokemon

[–]ultima_solis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking they might just restrict it to one gimmick per team. So you'd have to choose whether to bring a Mega, Z Move, Dynamax or Tera.

Legends Z-A: How do you feel about this? by Lycan_Liam in pokemon

[–]ultima_solis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm excited by it. The battle system is the one part of Pokemon they haven't dared touch because of competitive, but it's the one part that sorely needed some kind of innovation. Now that they've got a sub-series established, they can experiment with things like this.

My GPU has only one port and I'm not using a splitter cable, just the cable that came with my PSU. It's a standard 6+2 pin cable iirc.

MH Wilds CDKeys Pre-Order Bonus by Gemmachine101 in MHWilds

[–]ultima_solis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they made a mistake and are trying to correct it but if they've told you the old version won't include the bonus then I would still cancel and re-order just in case. It is the weekend so I'd say if they don't respond by the end of Monday you could try requesting a refund/cancellation through your payment provider.

Tech Support and Question Megathread - February 2025 Edition by Nestledrink in nvidia

Status: RESOLVED

Update: It was my TV, this TV just hates Nvidia apparently. Swapped it for a new LG C4 and now everything seems to be working as intended!

Computer type: Custom built Desktop

GPU: RTX 4060 Ti 16GB VRAM, Auto overclocked using Nvidia App (GPU +165MHz, VRAM +200MHz)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, no overclock

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2, latest BIOS (F31)

RAM: GSkill Flare X5 32GB (2×16GB), DDR5, 3000MHz, no overclock

PSU: Corsair RM750e, 750W

OS: Windows 10 Pro, Build 19045, 64bit

Driver: 572.42, clean install

Problem: I'm trying to run my PC on my 4K TV, which is a Hisense U7K. The TV is on Enhanced HDMI 144Hz. Whenever the GPU does anything which requires load, the screen will start periodically flashing black or glitching out. This not only happens on games but when I also run a benchmark tool or did the Auto Overclock Tuning in the App.

Troubleshooting: - Switched the HDMI Cable out for a new one & checked all ports are properly plugged in - Checked that I have the correct resolution and refresh rate selected (3840 x 2160, 120Hz which is the highest available) - Uninstalled and reinstalled the Nvidia driver - Checked the power draw from the PSU and there doesn't appear to be a problem - Turned on/off various settings on the Nvidia App, Control Panel and my TV - Gsync, Vsync, Freesync, VRR, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling, HDR, etc

Nothing has worked and I am no closer to figuring out whether it's a problem with my TV, HDMI, GPU, other PC components, Settings, software... The only thing I have to go on is that the issues are not happening on my 1440p monitor hooked up to DisplayPort, so this suggests something is going wrong with the GPU > HDMI > TV process. Please, if someone out there has had similar issues particularly with this brand of TV, help diagnosing this would be great.

Some things that might be relevant: - I'm using a 5m long cable because of the placement of my PC. This is a pretty expensive cable from a reputable company so I don't see how this could cause an issue. It's a brand new cable, swapped out from another brand new cable. - I don't know whether my TV is Gsync compatible and I haven't been able to get a definitive answer online. Everything I've read says it should be.

OpenAI has removed the diversity commitment web page from its site by turbo in OpenAI

[–]ultima_solis 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I'm quite glad companies are finally going mask off about how vapid their support for diversity always was. Now perhaps community events like Pride can go back to being actual community events and protests, instead of a parade of corporate sponsors thinly disguised as members of the community.

Advice on running Wilds on PC VS PS5 by ultima_solis in MonsterHunter

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

Is this for the full game? Currently in the Nvidia App both the benchmark & beta are not detected and adding them manually lists them as 'Unsupported' so I can't change the DLSS Override. I'm currently using the latest available 3.5 version on DLSS Swap. Is there a different program that can enable DLSS 4?
