Exactly; the idea is familiarity, not efficiency. To be fair, this argument doesn't make sense for all situations, so it is possible I misunderstood what the original post was talking about specifically.

I think the behavior could actually make sense with real physics, as the vehicle might be designed to mimic what the driver expects rather than real physics. For example, my car often shuts off the engine when I am not accelerating because it is a hybrid. So, if I don't press the gas pedal, it wouldn't really make sense for it to move. However, it is designed to artificially engage the engine when none of the pedals are pressed to more closely mimic the behavior of non-hybrid cars.
If most pilots are used to the behavior if a vehicle in atmosphere, a space ship might be designed to mimic that behavior (through weak reverse thrusters or something else) to make it easier for pilots to get used to.
Just listing some things that I needed to do for working remotely on a personal device: have an antivirus installed, make sure Windows firewall is enabled, enable automatic updates, screensaver or lockscreen configured for 15 minutes of inactivity, and use a strong password (and a good password manager).
However, you can configure GRUB to use an encrypted boot partition, and even have detached encryption headers. It does take a bit more work, and you should make sure you know what you are doing. (e.g. losing a detached header basically means your data is all lost)
It is working for me on pawb.social. I am running the latest f-droid version
Just installed, and now I'm wondering why I've never found this before. Its great - open source, well-designed, and pretty full-featured
For my (admittedly nonprofessional) use cases, I have found nothing that Krita, Gimp, or Inkscape could not handle. Honestly, I think the UI is equal or better as well.
I didn't even know that, that's pretty cool. I'll have to try it later
The repository links to a list of examples, but the best way to learn is just to mess around with it. It is fairly intuitive to work with (especially if you have used another node-based UI before, like Blender).
The UI also has the ability to import/export your current setup (what I call a workflow) as a json file. If I get some time, I might share some of mine with a pastebin link or something.
The usefulness of ComfyUI is not just making one simple image. It is the ability to completely customize how that image is created.
For example, I have a workflow that generates a half-resolution preview image, then upscales the latent and puts it through two more sampling nodes. All three of the nodes have a different prompt input, with the focus slowly shifting to style instead of content.
I have also created a custom upscaling workflow, where the image is upscaled with normal upscaling, then re-encoded and put through just a few sampling steps, the re-encoded with a tiled VAE decoder (to save my VRAM). It creates much better results (more detail and control) than a direct ERSGAN upscale, and can even be put through ERSGAN afterward to get a super large image.
I would guess it's one of three things:
- You are using Windows instead of Linux for ROCm (I don't know how much this affects performance, as I am only on Linux)
- You are generating the batch all at the same time, instead of just doing multiple generations. This can lead to out-of-memory issues, as it is a larger image being generated.
- You are not fully using the GPU. Does task manager say 100% utilization?
I haven't taken it myself, but "The Last Algorithms Course You'll Need" is free and is written by The Primeagen. He works at Netflix and runs a programming-focused YouTube channel, and as far as I can tell is very knowledgeable and level-headed.
