NB: all words are made-up!

Language works through shared understanding.

Do you think they're showing you the full picture?

Interesting! Thanks for running mediainfo on them to compare.

When encoding videos there's a "speed" parameter that basically tells the encoder to spend more CPU time compressing the frames. It results in a smaller output size while maintaining the same level of quality but takes much longer to encode. I'm sure that's part of what YT is doing here, an initial quick encode to get the video live then another pass to reduce filesize for long term storage. Good find!

I'm guessing that the perceived higher quality in the smaller file is because the encoder was able to find a more accurate way to represent those frames with the same or fewer number of bits since it has more time to search for the optimal encoding.

What OS/software are you using to throttle the cards? I'm interested in doing this on Arch

I mean, people spend way more than that on random art paintings and sculptures right?

With this, it could always be repurposed if something new and shiny comes along

Node based workflows with little DRY capability (i.e. ComfyUI) do get painful as the workflow grows. That said, an http server capabable of executing ML DAGs is extremely useful and a great building block for other tools and UIs to be built upon.

I wrote a typescript API generator for ComfyUI recently and having programmatic access to let you build and send the execution graphs is a game changer. Hoping to have time to release it soon. Same can easily be done for any other language. Exciting stuff!

IME I haven't gotten great results using SAM, maybe it was just the images I was using? They weren't great quality and it seemed to struggle with low contrast areas

I wrote a typescript API generator for ComfyUI, works great - hopefully will have time to release it soon.

I think there's so much unexplored potential in UI and workflows around generative AI, we've barely scratched the surface. Very exciting times ahead!

Also CivitAI but beware the NSFW

Have you used `mediainfo` to check the codecs, bitrate and encoding settings? Curious what you'd find there...

I'm still on rocm 5.4, been working great on my 6750XT for the past few months (Arch).

Just use a serious development OS instead

;)

Good overview, recommended for anyone wanting a quick lay of the land.

I suppose you must be driven mad by astrophotography.

Mkcert makes it easy, why not?

I just setup a local https dev domain wildcard (*.internal) with mkcert and caddy a few days ago - working great on all my devices and only took a few hours to figure out and get working.

Wow, very unfortunate the core team has to wase so much time and money on frivolous claims. Shame on the guy causing all this pain and waste.

> rigorous trials

Good thing we don't have any warp speed vaccines that compress this vital process!

This comment and entire site feels AI-generated...

Meh, both my parents practice law and I went into software dev. Had no interest in following in their footsteps.

As much as I hate discord for anything other than strictly gaming and fun, if your user demographic is primarily kids, teenagers and young adults I think Discord is fine. They're already on it anyway and you have to meet users where they're at. If I were to ever choose discord it'd be in this kind of situation.

Case in point: Arch Wiki

This is a big reason I'm still 100% satisfied being a solopreneur and working with specific clients I've chosen with lots of autonomy. Soooo much more productive and effective in terms of Getting Things Done™

Very well put and so true. You can exercise much more leverage by exuding professionalism and experience.

I've successfully talked stubborn execs out of bad ideas by framing things in terms they understand (risk, costs, reputation). And by doing so earned more respect which I can further leverage in the future.

Very similar experience in my ~decade of experience in software dev as an entrepreneur.

It feels good to blame reddit as we look down from our ivory towers though :)

What are you talking about?? Owning a physical game is not at ALL what we are discussing. I buy 2-4 games a month, all through steam and OBVIOUSLY they are all digital downloads, no physical copies.

Going from an ownership model to a rent-extracting subscription model is a HORRIBLE idea that almost no one wants (just execs who see $$$ and few gamers living in cities with low-latency high bandwidth internet)

How many people were asked in each poll and were they all French? Genuinely curious.

Technically only because Russia treats it's troops like disposable cannon fodder and early in the war was sending 2 soldiers for every rifle with the instructions for the second guy to pick up the rifle when the first guy dies.
