    No, lol. Well, at least I'm not 100% familiar with Pis new offerings, but idk about their PCI-E capabilities. Direct quote:

    The tool can run on low-cost graphics processing units (GPUs) and needs roughly 8GB of RAM to process requests — versus larger models, which need high-end industrial GPUs.

    Makes your question seem silly trying to imagine hooking up my GPU which is probably bigger than a Pi to a Pi.

    Have been running all the image generation models on a 2060 super (8GB VRAM) up to this point including SD-XL, the model they "distilled" theirs from... Not really sure what exactly they think they are differentiating themselves from, reading the article...

    You start a list however you need given the context. It's arbitrary.

    As an example when doing time calculations in programming, UNIX time is the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st, 1970. If you needed a list ordered most recent to oldest, the highest number would be first.

    To bring it back to you, a 100 is a better numerical grade than a 1. The alphabetical identifiers attached to grades are in reverse order to their numerical counterparts, which is even more fun because the person with the highest number and the earliest letter are considered "best." However, in some card games (Uno for example) having the lowest number is best when determining score.

    Yeah that's the one that gets me. People use it to say something without having to commit to having said it and/or attempt to reduce the weight of an action. Just make more money, just work harder, just work faster, just don't worry about it, just calm down. Pretty much minimizes the context the person they're talking to comes from like whatever they're suggesting is so easy no one should have to think about it.

    I'm just a lowly image generation hobbyist able to run some decent models on my 2060 super. lol. I had the highest tier of collab for awhile which was nice, but didn't feel like learning how to create jupityr notebooks so was at the mercy of people keeping their dependencies up-to-date and would more often sit down to a broken notebook than anything else. My whole rig is probably achievable for less than the price of 1 3090 q.q

    It depends where you could get in. People with insurance seeking therapy out for themselves are awesome. That kind of job probably pays enough and respects their employees. Don't get anywhere near anything to do with Medicaid if you value your salary, your self respect, and your mental well-being.

    The default response I get most of the time I comment on things is along the lines of "You shouldn't have thoughts or opinions and because you shared them I'm going to get as many other users to attack you as possible."

    Thought this might be different considering the context of this post, but here we are. You're getting downvoted as much as you are upvoted for pointing out that someone is trying to manipulate the context to attack me. No responses either because if they aren't actually bots they seem to have trouble coming up with any kind of understandable explanation for their behavior.

    It's like being in traffic and getting flicked off by the person that cut you off... when there was no one behind you...

    Shameless community promotion

    Wanted to share a Stable Diffusion (Art) based community. The premise of it is very similar to a sub-branch of the place that shall not be named called Photoshop Battles. Instead of battles though, it's more of a game just to show off what you've been playing with recently. Basically start a post with a picture and it's dimensions and then whoever's around comments with the result of doing an img-to-img process on it. Then anyone can re-process existing content or start fresh on their own. If it sounds fun, I have a couple of posts already or feel free to start your own! :) Link: https://lemmy.world/c/teleffusion

    If we're really concerned about this being a protocol and not a platform, what's with all the posturing?

    Social media posturing refers to the act of presenting oneself on social media in a way that is intended to impress others and create a certain image or impression. This can involve carefully curating the content one shares, such as pictures, statuses, and likes, in order to portray a specific lifestyle or persona. This is a common phenomenon as social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn are often seen as a stage to perform our ideal selves. No need to virtue signal, friends. There's no stage. ;)
