What’s the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another “because we can” type distro?

The model does have a lot of advantages over sdxl with the right prompting, but it seems to fall apart in prompts with more complex anatomy. Hopefully the community can fix it up once we have working trainers.

On Discord, the black hole for useful information.

“Tiny shards” probably isn’t the right term to describe particles 20-200 nanometers wide, but this is probably bad nonetheless.

The names missing from the list say more about the board’s purpose than the names on it.

It’s size makes it basically useless. It underperforms models even in it’s active weight class. It’s nice that it’s available but Grok-0 would have been far more interesting.

I feel like the whole Reddit AI deal is a trap. If any real judgment comes down about data use Reddit is an easy scapegoat. There was basically nothing stopping them from scraping the site for free.

I got locked out of my now 8+ year old account because I had set it up with an old ISP provided email which has since been deactivated. I can’t migrate because I have to verify with the email and I can’t change the email without setting up security questions, which also requires the email. Support can do nothing.

I don’t think they care about the images being used, just the disruption of service. It’s pretty clear that this wasn’t a coordinated thing from Stability and was at most a lone individual acting in bad faith.

It’s pretty ironic though that the company that practices mass scraping has no rate limits to prevent outages due to mass scraping.

There should be no difference because the video track hasn’t been touched. Some software will display the length of the longest track rather than the length of the main video track. It’s likely that the the audio track was originally longer than the video track and because of the offset it’s now shorter.

You can use tools like ffmpeg and mediainfo to count the actual frames in each to verify.

According to the article:

They are asking a federal judge to say yes to this, specifically:

Developing or distributing software, including Yuzu, that in its ordinary course functions only when cryptographic keys are integrated without authorization, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s prohibition on trafficking in devices that circumvent effective technological measures, because the software is primarily designed for the purpose of circumventing technological measures.

So I think they’re definitely intending to set precedent with this case, though this settlement hasn’t been accepted by the court yet.

Test comment

I believe USB-C is the only connector supported for carrying DisplayPort signals other than DisplayPort itself.

The biggest issue with USB-C for display in my opinion is that cable specs vary so much. A cable with a type c end could carry anywhere from 60-10000MB/s and deliver anywhere from 5-240W. What’s worse is that most aren’t labeled, so even if you know what spec you need you’re going to have a hell of a time finding it in a pile of identical black cables.

Not that I dislike USB-C. It’s a great connector, but the branding of USB has always been a mess.

VESA or bust

USB-C display output uses the Display Port protocol

This looks like an ad. They go on about what their proprietary detection method found without any details about how it came to these conclusions or even how they generated the test data. They give 0 actual examples for any of their claims.

Koboldcpp should allow you to run much larger models with a little bit of ram offloading. There’s a fork that supports rocm for AMD cards: https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm

Make sure to use quantized models for the best performace, q4k_M being the standard.

I doubt any platform could be more volitile than Twitter with Musk at the helm.

I only have 60 down and 12 up so I cap about 80% of the time with a short uncapped window late at night.

Who’s dumb enough to pay for that? Everyone else is just scraping it for free.
