High RAM for MOE models, high VRAM for dense models, and the highest GPU memory bandwidth you can get.

For stable diffusion models (comfyui), you want high VRAM and bandwidth. Diffusion is a GPU heavy and memory intensive operation.

Software/driver support is very important for diffusion models and comfy UI, so your best experience will be Nvidia cards.

I think realistically you need 80gb+ of RAM for things like qwen image quants (40 for model, 20-40 for LORA adapters in ComfyUI to get output).

I run an 128gb AMD AI 395+ Max rig, qwen image takes 5-20 minutes per 720p qwen image result in ComfyUI. Batching offers an improvement, reducing iterations during prototyping makes a huge difference. I have not tested since the fall though, and the newer models are more efficient.

It did bother me there was no fall through.

I think it’s time to admit that “elite” institutions aren’t really better than any others, they just power a nepotism machine and claim the gains as then being better.

Some schools have better networks of teachers and researchers, but this is a con.

The rest of us have to follow the rules while the rich get into the best (reputation) schools, are protected from pressure, and get to pass.

Just look at that Wharton prof who said Trump was the worst student he ever had. Trump got his degree, why didn’t he get flunked if he was so dumb.

The irony is movies and TV have record low amounts of sex, but the amount of borderline porn I see in gaming, ads, etc. is insane.

When I was a kid my dad would drive forward and slam the brakes to close our van door.

It was really fun until that became the only way that closed the door.

I now pronounce you, vendor and client

Now that we’re married, we’re doing RIF and outsourcing our IT staff to India. Have fun!

Oof lol

I’m sorry OP, I know your pain.

I used to have to work with a vendor who sent all our records in CSV form, usually weekly, and each week had different column headers and formats (date formats changed each week, decimal precision, numbers as text, numbers as dates, etc). Like they had a different manual extract process each week, which required us to manually reconcile each week.

I currently have to work with a large vendor and I hate them. The other day I went to open a ticket for an issue, then I saw they already had one. I read the ticket, it was my own ticket from a year ago, with zero responses and a “triage” label applied.

All of my tickets I’ve ever made are still open, and a few just have comments saying they’ll investigate or pointing me at the docs, which are wrong. Never a follow up.

I keep telling my boss we need to dump them, we spend more in salary dealing with their shit than the competition costs. Hell, I could build this in house in a month, but I don’t have time for that.

I mean, it’s right there on the name

That wasn’t a fitted sheet, it was your pants!

I can’t believe the rest of you left that behind

I don’t see any sweet roll. Did someone steal your sweet roll?

A well designed GUI should give you fast access to what you need and allow you to get things done easily.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

We have that, it’s bobsled.

I think it’s actually the opposite, with the suit materials they decrease friction with a larger bulge

The bottom man is the top man, obviously.

I’ll allow it, but ed is the standard editor.

Found a lot of good Canadian produce.

Local lettuce grown in green houses lasts longer. I don’t need mutant flavourless berries that we grow here.

why would I buy shittier produce from farmers who overwhelmingly voted to fuck me over?

All this corporate lobbying and bribes says there’s more money in corruption than innovation and competition.

Its how you know your democracy is dead and your economy is a zombie.

If I got paid $74M a year, I would work one year.

I get it.

What is this, a city for mites?

This is cool!
