Why the hell shouldn’t that apply to people that are going to use insurance? The reason our healthcare costs are so high is because everyone with insurance past their deductible is price insensitive. People might at least care about their

Of course, barring collapse, the rocks won’t reform right above you as you go.

Perhaps a regular IQ test taken at age 65 and then every few years after would do it. Enough of a decline and you’re no longer fit.

Yep. 99% of what I do with SD is generate images of my wife, daughter, and dog.

To be fair, cutting staff seems like it would be reasonable. How do they have ~2x the number of employees that Epic has? I know the ad side probably takes some numbers but Epic actually makes games. From an outsider it seems horribly misma

I don’t think that’s true in this case. Usually that’s a “the structure is fine but the price increase is way too much” move. This completely wrecked faith in Unity. They also took too long for this response. If it was their plan, it was

I kind of doubt those numbers, considering my 12GB 3080 gets something like 3 it/s in ComfyUI - though I suppose that's usually with a LoRA. Even if they're accurate, very few people have a 3090/4090. Keep in mind the

You can already do it with Photoshop/Krita/whatever plugins, but it won't work nearly as well. Adobe's version is incredible at understanding the photo or art, the style, and inpainting exactly what should be there with

It is hard to do. I've tried it. The person/people that originally made Controlnet was pretty amazed at how well Photoshop's works. Let's use an example of something I've done in Photoshop. Here's (roughly

I'm sorry, I believe they said they split it for 8 GB cards. The point still remains that it's way faster than local generation. Of course, I wouldn't mind it not using credits if I could use it locally either. Hopefully th

The stuff that they’ve added in 2023 alone is absolutely huge, as a photographer. The new Photoshop Remove tool along with the generative stuff has saved me hours upon hours of work. I’ve fixed images in seconds that would have taken 10 or

Photoshop’s generative infill and expand are on an entirely different level from what Stable Diffusion can do right now. The fact that you can select an area, give it no prompt, and have it usually perfectly fill it in one of the 3 variatio

I can generate perfectly realistic “photographs” on SDXL. You certainly don’t want to use the word ‘realistic,’ because real photos aren’t described that way. Just do “photo of blah blah,” or “blah blah, photo.”

I don’t think I’d say Midjourney is “leaps and bounds” above SDXL. It’s better overall, but SDXL closed the gap a significant amount.

I also have a 3080, and there’s no way SD is faster. The best comparison as far as resolution is SDXL and in the time it takes me to generate one image at a reasonable amount of steps Adobe generates 3 options. This is referring to the Phot

It wouldn’t just be slow, I’m guessing it wouldn’t run on everything but maybe GPUs with 24GB of VRAM. The newest version of Stable Diffusion is the same resolution and the only way they got it to work on 12GB cards was the split the model

Wouldn’t that depend on the income of the developer vs. how many installs they get? Surely even $.20 for someone that has a hit mobile game that sells for $.99 would be unconscionable. After App Store fees and accounting for potential mult

That’s $2k, per seat, per year. Which you now need to pay to get rid of the Unity splash screen. Why they haven’t learned the lesson of only poor developers (and therefore, largely shovelware and bad games) showing their splash screen is a

I disagree with your diffusion based art assessment, and I think it’s probably colored by what most people seem to want to make with it. Just as with regular art, you need some sort of vision to go beyond what everyone else does. Prompting

No, but people might reinstall en masse when you have a nice free update.

If Unreal (natively) adopted C# that would absolutely be a killing blow to Unity, to the point where I'm amazed they haven't done it.

I’ve advocated for this several times here, but I very much recommend a standing desk + walking treadmill to anyone with a desk job - especially if you WFH. I got one years ago. It takes a while to get used to it. At first, I could only us

A disclaimer for medical advice would work just as well without hamstringing the model into uselessness. Doctors give objectively bad advice in an authoritative manner all the time. ChatGPT is a great way to get a second opinion, and at l
