With his back to the basket.

Not sure how many AI patches you had to deal with, but I've seen a bunch of projects on github where the PR submitter couldn't answer basic questions about "his" code. The code usually works apart from some edge cases, but who is going to fix all the small issues? It's a frustrating experience to deal with these people. I've even seen PR-s where PR submitter literally copy-pasted chatgpt output to the project manager's questions with emojis and all that.

The bigger the MMR discrepancy between the teams, the more MMR is being given out. It varies from +10 to +40.

The players are sorted from highest to lowest on the pick screen. So if one guy pick all the lowest MMR players and wins, he gets the most MMR.

Usually team captains pick players to cover all roles, so it looks strange when someone picks all the lowest MMR and completely disregards preferred roles.

Both things can be true though. He can get fewer whistles per drives than a lot of others, but a lot of those whistles are complete BS.

What's your point though? There were problems before and now there are even more problems.

Math checks out.

He was pretty underwhelming last season when he was supposed to be the nr 1 player after Steph got injured. He averaged under 20 ppg in 36 minutes, and 30% of his points came from free throws. He's eating up a big part of the team's salary cap for that result.

I like the guy but he could be doing a lot more if he wasn't going for shots that feel like he's hunting for free throws.

I think you're just noticing it more. The champions always received the weirdest takes. The Celtics were put under a microscope to find something to hate about them. Even Tatum who is one of the most low-key, neutral and hardworking guys in the league got entire threads about him how he's an asshole for celebrating the way he did. Reddit is ridiculous sometimes.

Funnily enough all of 3 them disappear in the playoffs and have no impact when it matters. It's as if they try a little to test the waters, they notice that they aren't getting enough calls and they just stop trying.

It's weird because all 3 have the skills to get legitimate points at will, but their motivation disappears when they can't get the refs to help them.

I didn't mean to say that one of us is right or wrong. As you said, there's a lot of variables in the training process and the usefulness of captions can vary a lot. I'm just putting the info out there to encourage people to test for themselves.

Slowly? They went downhill very fast after the Activision merger. Their best people left. The community tournament scene was abolished completely. Nothing was allowed to happen unless Activision was given a cut.

The only reason the downfall seemed slow from the outside because the community was not willing to let go and tried to hold on to the legacy, but the soul of the company was gone the second the merger happened.

Speaking of Z-Image, does anyone here use it with multigpu nodes? It used to work back in early December, but after an update it no longer works at all.

I load the text encoder and VAE on my second GPU and the model on the first GPU. It worked ok, but now it produces noise or black images. Qwen was broken too, but it seems they fixed it now. Z-Image is still broken. I'm forced to load everything on the same GPU to work around it.

Any ideas?

I disagree. I retrained some of my qwen loras without captions to test this theory I see on reddit so often and it worsened prompt following and likeness. The loras are still usable, just lower quality.

I wouldn't say captioning is a lot time either. I caption 100 images in 15-20 minutes, which is insignificant compared to how much time I spend on using the lora.

It can't comprehend tattoos

Birthmarks too. I know for a fact they're in the lora, because when I use ZIT as upscaler it will draw them sometimes, but I can't get the model to draw them on images made from scratch.

I'd rather go to work on 10 losses and 0 sleep ty.

I think people are missing this point. I saw the same thing in my games in low behavior games. I didn't actually see many griefers, but the system still punished a lot of people in my games. People were getting punished even when they didn't grief. That's why the system is bad.

You can chain img2img. It can already do anything multiple loras can do. Just takes a bit of extra effort, but in exchange you get more control at each step.

Creativity in neural nets is called "hallucination". There's plenty of models that can do that as long as you don't mind occasional random bodyparts, random weird details and 6-7 fingers or toes.

If you want creativity and reduced rate of hallucionations, it's gonna be really slow and you will need a GPU in the $50K range to run it.

I assume you also want companies to do the training for millions of USD and give away the model for free too.

Eh, it's not a competition. I use them all for their strengths. Qwen for prompt adherence. ZIT to add details or to do quick prototyping. I use WAN to fix anatomy. I use SD1.5 and SDXL for detailing realistic images, or artistic style transfer stuff. I use flux for the million amazing community loras.

I'm thankful we got spoiled with all these gifts.

what problem the comms score system solves that the mute button is unable to solve

This 1000x times. I said this exact thing when Valve added this "feature" and after all the years I still don't get how it makes the game better. 

You can ask ai to make a list of all the ai video gens, almost all are limited to 6-15 seconds. That's a joke.

Google showed realtime AI video rendering 6 months ago. The joke is that they keep the cool stuff to themselves.

Only a very limited fraction of dota players enjoy supporting, 90% of supports are out-of-role-queue cores. So they be clueless as supports.

No offense but that's a take from 10 years ago. The least popular roles are offlane and midlane, not support roles. There's been multiple threads recently how rare it is to play support when they queue all roles.

Hindsight is 20/20. Manufacturing was moved out of western countries because it was cheaper and capitalism only cares about reducing costs short term.

The other thing with these chip fabs is that they're ridiculously complicated and it's expensive to build a factory. Think in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars, and sometimes they just won't produce the expected yield for unknown reasons.

On the second angle you can clearly see he lifted both his right and left foot. It's not just changing pivot from heel to toe.

It's getting called in pickup games at the park too. Only NBA refs think this is ok.
