PLAYER 2 START

old man scratches balls, news at 11.

They’ve been terrible for a long time. After Anthem, honestly never again. Sorry.

Yeah I got mind refurbished also, so someone else took the first hit on driving it off the lot (and waiting for it to be built). I guess they didn’t use it to its full extent though. That didn’t make it “cheap” though.

It’s sort of a niche within a niche and I appreciate your sharing some knowledge with me, thanks!

Hmm maybe in the new year I’ll try and update my process. I’m in the middle of a project though so it’s more about reliability than optimization. Thanks for the info though.

I usually run batches of 16 at 512x768 at most, doing more than that causes bottlenecks, but I feel like I was also able to do that on the 3070ti also. I’ll look into those other tools though when I’m home, thanks for the resources. (HF diffusers? I’m still using A1111)

(ETA: I have written a bunch of unreleased plugins to make A1111 work better for me, like VSCode-like editing for special symbols like (/[, and a bunch of other optimizations. I haven’t released them because they’re not “perfect” yet and I have other projects to be working on, but there’s reasons I haven’t left A1111)

I just run SD1.5 models, my process involves a lot of upscaling since things come out around 512 base size; I don’t really fuck with SDXL because generating at 1024 halves and halves again the number of images I can generate in any pass (and I have a lot of 1.5-based LORA models). I do really like SDXL’s general capabilities but I really rarely dip into that world (I feel like I locked in my process like 1.5 years ago and it works for me, don’t know what you kids are doing with your fancy pony diffusions 😃)

Oh I meant for image generation on a 4080, with LLM work I have the 64gb of the Mac available.

Ok but it’s not done by a bunch of Robin Hoods, they rip off (read: steal and then destroy the economic capacity of) small/independent designers all the time too.

It fails whenever it exceeds the vram capacity, I’ve not been able to get it to spillover to the system.

Oh I didn’t mean “should cost $4000” just “would cost $4000”. I wish that the vram on video cards was modular, there’s so much ewaste generated by these bottlenecks.

Apple price gouges for memory, yes, but a 64gb theoretical 4090 would have cost as much in this market as the whole computer did. If you’re using it to its full capabilities then I think it’s one of the best values on the market. I just run the 20b models because they meet my needs (and in open webui I can combine a couple at that size), as I use the Mac for personal use also.

I’ll look into the Amd Strix though.

I know it’s a downvote earner on Lemmy but my 64gb M1 Max with its unified memory runs these large scale LLMs like a champ. My 4080 (which is ACHING for more VRAM) wishes it could. But when it comes to image generation, the 4080 smokes the Mac. The issue with image generation and VRAM size is you can think of the VRAM like an aperture, and the lesser VRAM closes off how much you can do in a single pass.

I’m in management now but I say go get ‘em please.

Applying the December 2024 security update via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog will resolve the issue and restore the system’s ability to accept future security updates

so the solution to it not updating is to go to windows update and update it?

I see the analysis about how this is a stealth layoff, but let’s give some love to the employees who have dragged their feet and said no, and still haven’t left, who have made this process so messy and stupid that even the largest companies are giving up in exasperation.

Rise might be the best place to start from a tutorial standpoint. I’ve replayed MHW many times and I feel like even knowing what I’m doing it takes hours before I’m actually in the game. Rise came out during COVID and was half-released when it did which meant they didn’t pour as much time into over-extending the intro. The downside is Rise is exceptionally mechanically stacked for a MH game, so it may take a little time to get started from that standpoint. But also, I would discover new weapon mechanics 70+ fights into using a weapon also, so don’t worry about trying to learn it all up front.

yeah well you go and simmer your hypocrisy on a medium heat until it toasts up golden brown
