I wasn't here prior to the new software, I came along after it was in place. I don't know what happened in the dark ages. I wonder when the renaissance will be.

the ice cream was fun... need more.

I was wondering how long people would take to notice.

All that stuff, which I assume is accurate, is much more recent than my faulty memory allows. On the other hand, /jk isn't listed and I never see anyone else use it, and it isn't nearly as good as /j, so I probably invented it, and it's just as prestigious as inventing a a pasta pot with the colander holes conveniently located on the bottom so that it can't hold water.

I have seen "jk" being used without the forward slash quite often, maybe you just added the slash because it felt like a tone indicator to you.

Also, I was reminded of something else I was wrong about when I followed one of the article's references, which is that I always assumed that elevators were made unbalanced so that if the cable broke it would wedge itself in the shaft instead of falling. Nope, they just fall all the way to the ground, as has unfortunately been proven recently. No idea why I thought they were unbalanced. If I had known that, I would have demanded a ground floor office when I worked in a 29 story building, and it had the oldest, worst elevator I've ever seen. When you went down, it felt like you were on a rollercoaster with that odd feeling in your stomach, and when it went up, it took forever, and no matter which direction you went, it made godawful screeching sounds like you just disturbed a huge nest of harpies. I always pictured the hunchback of Notre-Dame standing at the top of the shaft struggling to turn a wheel and gear mechanism that hadn't been greased in 100 years.

I know there are safety clamps that are supposed to stop an elevator if the ropes break, but I can imagine that if something goes so wrong that all ropes break there's a good chance the clamps won't be enough to stop the elevator either.

I don't think so, but I've been over 30 hours without sleep, so what do I know. It may have been around before I used it, but I hadn't seen it yet. I really think that with something like this, something that's just simple and obvious, that it could have originated with a bunch of different people once they became familiar with indicators. It's not so much that it was invented, It was always an available tool, people just hadn't picked it up yet.

sarcasm is harder to detect in text, as even if there is some way to show it, not everyone is aware of the way... so people may think you being serious when you really being silly. Sarcasm only really works among a small group who know its very rarely serious.

I doubt your line would have been misunderstood as anything other than a joke

Maybe we need a Zed timer so as to know when you reset your sleep time.

Speaking of silly.

If you don't laugh at this, I am sorry for you.

I'm not getting sound on this laptop at the moment, so I can't watch now, but skimming through it looked like the "Kill the wabbit" opera, which is definitely a good one.

The AI whizbangs at reddit are neither whizzes nor bangs and are completely useless and only try to deflect questions.

Zed: "When I raise my CFG scale over 2 my pictures get blurry."

redditor: CFG? No idea what you are talking about. What are your system specs?

Zed: "How are my system specs going to help if you don't know what CFG scale is?"

redditor: Because we need to know how much VRAM you have. What model are you using?

Zed: I'm using the model that is the name of this subreddit, but never mind

redditor: Don't get angry. Get smarter.

Zed: I was trying to get smarter. Your mama never warned me about your low IQ. Course, she never talked much because her mouth...

Sorry, can't finish this joke here...

Leaving a note here just in case (for anyone who like myself tends to skim guides): Blurriness in flux is also caused by having cfg > 1. It's supposed to be set to 1 and use distilled cfg. Negative prompt is disabled.

I've decided to write a family biography about my father's side of the family. We already have one for my mother's side. That one goes back to before the Revolutionary War. This one will be easier because my grandfather was a doorstep orphan, and so all our information stops with him.

Highlights: Grandpa did well for a doorstep orphan. Within 25 years he had immigrated to the US and become a real estate tycoon with properties in both New York and south Florida, including a Hardware store in New York that was so famous that someone heard my daughter's last name a couple of years ago and asked her if she had anything to do with the hardware store in New York (which we closed down after he died in 1972). He also had beach front hotels and restaurants in Hollywood, Florida, which is near Miami. Much to my eternal sadness, we also sold those in 1972. I could have been working in my own beachfront cafe instead of playing games all day.

Meanwhile, Dad was a chemist and was drafted into the army. He invented a number of things while in the army, most of them still classified. One thing he invented that isn't classified was the precursor to Luminol. He has never talked about the other things he invented in the army, but back when everyone had a listed phone number we used to get whackos calling the house. One time, as a child mind you, I answered the phone and this man said, "I know what your father did." My father is the kindest person you will ever meet. He was basically still a kid and he was under orders, but whatever he invented didn't sit well with him, and one day he just announced he was leaving and walked out. Normally this would get you arrested for going AWOL, but his commanding officers quietly gave him an honorable discharge and let him go on his way. That tells me the whackos were probably right. Anyway he was accepted into Harvard and got his PhD in chemistry. He then proceeded to invent many things that found their way into everyday items. He invented, for instance, an additive for plastic that allowed you to store food and drinks in plastic without worrying about the plastic seeping out into your food. They don't use this additive today because cheaper additives were invented. They aren't as protective, but, hey, what's a little plastic in your brain, right? He had many others. One injustice is that if you look up the patents today, they don't have his name on them. They have his boss's name, instead. But whatever else they did, they paid him according to his value, so he got over not getting full credit, and eventually he became an SVP of the company. He ran two divisions of the company and retired when the CEO told him he needed to lay off 500 people. He said he just wasn't cut out for that kind of thing. But his inventing didn't stop when he left the research division, and he created a new 24 hour work schedule that gave all the employees 12 to 14 (just depending on where you were in the schedule) days off each month, which they loved, and which is still in use today.

I've bored anyone who who happened to actually read this enough. But I have enough material to make a quite sizeable book. Then I'll have it printed and pass it to all the surviving members of the family.

Thanks. An update came down that was supposed to make CFG usable (distilled CFG works, but it actually doesn't do the same thing as CFG, so I'm not sure why they ever considered that a good solution), but I guess when they said CFG was usable maybe they just meant you could now take it from one to 2, which does make a big difference.

CFG determines how much Flux follows your prompt. At CFG 1, where we've all been using it, Flux practically considers your prompt a mild suggestion that it can mostly ignore if it wants to.

It seems we know the family tree of both sides, one grandmother was adopted and it was only after they linked her to real parents, they went way back. I never really took any notice of it as I knew other people were working on it. One side came from Ireland and other from England. Early 1800's

One of my grandads would have been 106 today... he didn't make it.

I've never really considered looking into my family history. I know my mom's side can be traced to Prussia and there's a family tree for my dad's side, but I don't really know much about my grandparents, let alone anything before that.

Get all the information you can while people are still alive is my suggestion. Some day when you are old and bored like I am, you might wish you knew more about your family.

By the way, sadly, greatness skipped a generation in our family, but I'm fully expecting it to pick up where it left off with Guido and Elly May
