720p has a max of 12 bits per pixel, 1080p is 14 bits

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:38 AM

14 FOCUS

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

amber fractal 720p has a max of 12 bits per pixel, 1080p is 14 bits

i thought that was per channel

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

no igglybwaa

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

it should be

#

8bit video has 8 bits per channel

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

I reduced down into bitmask first and readded

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

idk wha tthat means but sure okp

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:43 AM

#

some combinations of resolution and refresh rate use different encoding to RGBA

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:43 AM

#

hmmm

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:44 AM

#

The lorge number is 570*1140*160/24 should be 32 but not useful for this.

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:44 AM

#

the voluemtric refreshrate is supposed to be 30, so with 1080p30 we can ignore the refreshrate and jsut try to pack 570x1140x160 volumetric into a 1080p image somehow

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:44 AM

#

i saw something using a 4:2:0 encoding i think in the config blob yesterday

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:45 AM

#

i havent had good luck with 4:2:0 so far. but maybe thats cuz i was trying to do stuff that didnt work in general

fiery anchor Feb 18, 2026, 1:46 AM

#

oh boy youtube is somewhat down.

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:47 AM

#

new idea.
instead of matching the binary representation of the voxels to 1080p image. we only send non-empty voxels?

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:47 AM

#

fiery anchor oh boy youtube is somewhat down.

it's a little bit completely not working. yeah

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:47 AM

#

I was going to mention this

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

at least it's failing quickly

fiery anchor Feb 18, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

azure lynx it's a little bit completely not working. yeah

had a window still open, no issues with watching a already shown vid.

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

keep the spiral mask in memory and send anything in mask over.

final tinsel Feb 18, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

#

#

Yes it’s down

fiery anchor Feb 18, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

olive sable new idea. instead of matching the binary representation of the voxels to 1080p i...

that would sounds complicated.

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:49 AM

#

complicated is fine if it works

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:49 AM

#

amber fractal keep the spiral mask in memory and send anything in mask over.

then we're back at needing 180hz

#

which we cant

#

the spiral is only for converting one frame of volumetric data into a full rotation of the spiral

#

sending the volumetric data is compeltely independant of the spiral

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:51 AM

#

the spiral is probably trivially computable from what the current time is if you need to

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:51 AM

#

spiral itself can be cached

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:52 AM

#

spiral is jsut this:

#version 450 core

const float PI = 3.14159265358979323846;
const float realRes = 570.5;
const uint WIDTH  = 570;
const uint HEIGHT = 1140;
const uint DEPTH  = 160;
const uint STRIDE = WIDTH * HEIGHT;
const uint WORDS_PER_Z = (DEPTH + 31) / 32;
const uint  NUM_BITS = 24u;

layout(std430, binding = 0) readonly buffer VolumeBuffer {uint data[];} volume;
uniform float helixAngle;
uniform float deltaAngle;

out vec4 colour;

uint sampleZ(vec2 pos, float angle)
{
    float a = atan(pos.y, pos.x) + angle;
    float dist = fract(a /  PI) * float(DEPTH);
    return min(uint(dist), DEPTH - 1u);
}

void main()
{
    uint x = uint(gl_FragCoord.x);
    uint y = uint(gl_FragCoord.y);
    uint baseIndex = x + y * WIDTH;

    float offset = 0.5 * float(y & 1u);
    vec2 newPos  = vec2(float(x) + offset, floor(float(y) * 0.5) + offset);
    vec2 centre = vec2(realRes * 0.5);
    newPos = newPos - centre;

    uint packedVal = 0u;
    for (uint i = 0u; i < NUM_BITS; ++i)
    {
        float angle = helixAngle + float(i) * deltaAngle;
        uint z = sampleZ(newPos, angle);

        uint bitIdx  = z & 31u;
        uint wz      = z >> 5;
        uint wordIdx = baseIndex + (wz * STRIDE);

        uint b = (volume.data[wordIdx] >> bitIdx) & 1u;
        packedVal |= b << i;
    }

    uvec3 rgb;
    rgb.r =  packedVal        & 0xFFu;
    rgb.g = (packedVal >> 8)  & 0xFFu;
    rgb.b = (packedVal >> 16) & 0xFFu;

    colour = vec4(vec3(rgb) / 255.0, 1.0);
}

#

VolumeBuffer is the shit we need to send

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:52 AM

#

what would playing normal video on it look like?

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:53 AM

#

well

#

you cant

#

it would only look good form the top i guess

#

complete garbage fromt he sides

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

it'd be interesting i think. not good, but strange to look at.

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

amber fractal keep the spiral mask in memory and send anything in mask over.

I'm trying to say something but also getting ready to leave. I'm not done with this point

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

i have no clue what you mean with caching the spiral

#

if you want to send only what the spiral hits, we still have to send everything

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:55 AM

#

you only have to send the data which is currently displaying, not the whole volume

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 1:55 AM

#

I'll explain but I need time

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:55 AM

#

azure lynx you only have to send the data which is currently displaying, not the whole volu...

all of it is

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:55 AM

#

most of it is empty space and can't be projected on

#

you only need to send a spiral of data per frame

night lintel Feb 18, 2026, 1:55 AM

#

final tinsel

Im playing RDR2 right now

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:56 AM

#

azure lynx you only need to send a spiral of data per frame

if we send only the spiral we need 180hz instead of 30hz

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

where are you projecting the other data?

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

vertically

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

it can't hit the right place because it can only hit the spiral

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

we're sending 30hz volumetric, that gets converted to 176.041666z of 24 1-bit planes. aka 4225hz.
at 15rpm with a double helix, all the voxels will have been shown

#

30hz is the refreshrate of the full volume

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

you only need to send the data for where the spiral will be at the time the image is displayed. (you're stacking frames in a single value but the only get displayed one at a time on the position of the spiral at that point.)

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

if we only send data for where the spiral is rn

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

at that point

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

yes

#

then the pc would have to be the one to send the bitplanes

#

so we would need 176.0416666hz

#

the 30hz frames don't come in-between parts of rotation.
each frame the spiral will have already made a full rotation

hollow matrix Feb 18, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

I figured out a way around it! I unhid the second part of the form, filled it out, and it let me submit it

fiery anchor Feb 18, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

i think this is the point where a flowchart might help. and the point where the bed calls

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

true

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

I'm dropping the spiral idea

#

I realized it is stupid

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

you can overlay and delay the bitplanes, compressing the values into however many bits per pixel you have. but you only need a single sheet of pixels that wrap around the spiral per frame. not the whole voxel buffer

fickle rain Feb 18, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

Huh, first time this happened for me

#

3% 3 challenges to solve

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:06 AM

#

azure lynx you can overlay and delay the bitplanes, compressing the values into however man...

We cant fit 160 bitplanes in a single image tho. They're already packed to 24bitplanes at 176hz.
At 30hz we would need 140.8333 bits per pixel

#

Or something like that

#

I guess 141? Shruge

#

4225/30 doesnt convert well

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:07 AM

#

The only compression that might do anything is just again send nonzero. Just sending the omega sized 1d coords/color array to the pi and force it to remap.

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:08 AM

#

you only need the pixels which hit.
no other pixels need sending and in fact, they're a waste of space!

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

bonus because we only have so many bit combos, we can make it a lot faster by doing passes and map all of these guys to a color

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

amber fractal The only compression that might do anything is just again send nonzero. Just sen...

Instead of coords, you could maybe just send an int for distance to the nixt voxel

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

run length encoding would be fantastic for 1-bit data

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

And then just use some funky modulo math

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:11 AM

#

Still need the color infomation igglybwaa

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:11 AM

#

The bitplane colours for the projector get calculated on the pi

#

Or you mean for the voxel encoding?

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:12 AM

#

voxel ye

#

we only have hits so far

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

I guess we just have 3 bytes per pixel to work with. Splitting data between pixels gets messy

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

Nah we got enough for full, because we ain't sending most of the voxels

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

So we could do 3 bytes, each byte for distance? miniHmm
"On for x, of for y, on for z"

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

3 bytes is for every voxel sent

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

perhaps encoding marching cube faces?

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

amber fractal Nah we got enough for full, because we ain't sending most of the voxels

That limits us to only 1 pixel per row tho

#

Or like

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

you could send and on and and off

#

2 pixels, gives you a block of arbitrary length

#

if you have more then send 2 more

#

how many to skip, how many to draw

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

olive sable Or like

Since our ground plane of 570x1140 can fit neay twice in 1080p, wed have about 2 voxels per row max if we try a full cube

quick condor Feb 18, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

I love compiling flash attention+cuda

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

azure lynx how many to skip, how many to draw

I think that is good ye. But instead of per 2 pixels, id just do it in a pixel

#

We have 3 colour channels

#

8 bytes is more than enough in terms of distance

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

then you've also got color if you want in 3rd byte for lookup table

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

What is the lookup table for?

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:22 AM

#

storing color? assuming you have 3 1-bit channels you could use for 1-bit color stuff?

#

or just store 3 values in 2 pixels

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

Now that i think about it

#

Worst case scenario

#

It is 570x1140x160 = 103968000

#

If we have a voxel at the very end it is going to be 103967999 away

#

Wont fit in 8bits

#

We also cant really do 27 bits

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 2:26 AM

#

perhaps you could do a simpler encoding "top bit set, draw, top bit unset, skip" and then just do lots of 0xff skips of 127 voxels until you get the right distance in

olive sable Feb 18, 2026, 2:28 AM

#

Oh

#

True

#

Minamhm

For now thats probably the best method we can do

i wonder how badly being interrupted constantly will affect my agent's ability to think.
I think perhaps making most events only visible to them when they've reached the end of a sentence instead of interrupting them whenever might help...
perhaps i could put non-urgent events on a timer that either waits a certain number of seconds or until the agent finishes generating a sentence or until the queue has N items in it (whichever comes first)

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 4:28 AM

it needed drivers for the camera tracking things and software to convert those images into 3d locations

#

and you had to sign in to meta for their software

there's probably a 3rd party software for the trackers but it's also ancient hardware.
i'm sure there's something better that's decently priced.

i feel like there was a term for this

#

ai wash

#

before we had ai everything

#

auto

#

lol

#

auto was the term

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 4:56 AM

#

that was big for a while... meant "thermometer"

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 4:56 AM

#

like

#

this is just

#

normal wash

#

it seems to just change the length and like how long it does each cycle part

#

that's literally what auto did i think

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 4:57 AM

#

where is the cleaning the body wash?

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 4:57 AM

#

the AI part is that it can talk to your phone though

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 4:57 AM

#

azure lynx that was big for a while... meant "thermometer"

zojirushi still got dat fuzzy neuro

#

the cleaning time isnt changeable like that i guess

#

so there's nothing there since i cant change it

#

it just says how long it's gonna be till it's done lol

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 4:58 AM

#

it probably has a strain gauge for the weight and measures RPM vs the percent duty cycle it's powering it and does some math on that

#

might not even have a strain gauge...might just use inertia estimates

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 4:59 AM

#

im surprised it didnt complain about the weight once the blankets were soaked

#

i guess technically it did

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 4:59 AM

#

probably couldn't get up to speed

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 4:59 AM

#

well it was because it was unbalanced

#

100 lbs of blanket on one side of the tub

#

make spin cycle go boom

#

bruh it has like this gap at the top

#

where technically you could reach down into the body fo the washer

#

it's just open

#

so

#

i put shit in there but if i put too much

#

invariably some shit gets yeeted in there

#

right at the start of the cycle

#

because it spins right at the start to measure the weight

spins right at the start to measure the weight
I knew i'd learn something watching youtube videos about random stuff.

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:02 AM

#

yeah you were on the money lol

#

it will tell me when i should clean the tub and such

#

so i guess that's a nice "smart" feature

#

and apparently i have used 852 Wh in the last month with it

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:04 AM

#

probably just has a timer for that... at least the air filter thing I had just waited until it had a runtime of like 4 weeks and lit up the "Check filter" icon, even if I'd just cleaned it.

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:04 AM

#

it does, it literally just counts runs lol

#

i dont think it adjusts or anything

#

it just reminds me every 30 runs

#

gemini will probably tell me

#

scare the shit out of me again

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:05 AM

#

it's the type of thing they probably tell you to do in the manual but nobody used to do it after the first time because they didn't keep track

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:06 AM

#

i clean my garbage disposal every week like a good boy too

#

im very astute

#

and humble

#

(i liek the funny foam that it makes)

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:07 AM

#

i've had to run a clean cycle on my dishwasher twice since i've moved in even though i never use the dishwasher because things keep leaking off the bench and dripping into it.

#

if it was smart it'd know it wasn't wanted and leave.

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

im unable to parse what is happening there

#

dish washer is open when unuseD?

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

liquid spills, drips off the counter onto the door of the machine and somehow gets inside

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

oh lol

#

that's ominous for the seal

#

i guess if it's at the top it probably doesnt hurt anything

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

it seems to seal fine when i run the cleaning cycle ;/

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:09 AM

#

maybe if it's not locked

#

i think mine pushes in a bit when i lock it to run it

#

from the locking action

#

mine is old as shit tho

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:09 AM

#

shrug i don't use it except to stop it from smelling

#

no idea how it gets in

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:09 AM

#

i just cant make myself not use it because of how much more efficient it is

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

except of course from me spilling stuff

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

than my stupid ass playing in the sink

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

i just clean stuff as i use it. mostly i have sandwiches or cold food, or the food is in a paper/cardboard bowl for the microwave

#

and if i have to clean the air fryer, i need to run hot water anyway so may as well do the rest of the stuff.
and i guess i just got used to not using it.

#

(spinning is a perfectly normal thing. even in the kitchen without a chair. defnitely grew out of any autism i had as a child.definitely. definitely.)

silent cloak Feb 18, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

I pace a ton

#

It stresses everyone the hell out for some reason

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

i had a roommate who paced. he seemed very anxious. was quite high strung.

amber fractal Feb 18, 2026, 5:23 AM

#

I do also pace, my family just accepts that I pace

#

helps to not be in one place as I'm thinking a lot

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:24 AM

#

i don't pace, but i do get up and do things with purpose. repetitively. i find myself looking in the same 2 cupboards and the fridge 10x a night without actually feeling hungry or getting any food.

#

with apparent purpose

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

im trying to catch this fucking thing playing a tune and dancing at the end of thee cycle

#

it's said 1 min left for like 10 mins now

#

very smort

#

probably the weight of the water in blanket

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

fuzzy logic... "It's close, ok.. not that close...."

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

probably tries to get it within a % of the weight witout water from the start or something

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:29 AM

#

maybe as it dries out near the edge it's able to pull a wet part from the middle

#

and that adjusts the loading

#

if it used a % of the weight you wouldn't be able to take something out... i think it just measures how much water is coming out and once it's basically stopped it'ill stop

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 5:30 AM

#

i feel like pretty much everything it wants to know is handled by weight and like a flow sensor of some kind

#

yeah like that

#

behold

#

well

#

if i trim size lule

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 5:31 AM

should be relatively easy to fix though. i suspect it just replaced the 'output this text' with 'send the text to the part where it displays it'... without also outputting it

While maintaining the standard language modeling paradigm for text tokens, BitDance employs a next-patch diffusion paradigm for visual tokens to predict multiple tokens in parallel—up to 64 per step. This unified multimodal framework is simple, scalable, and capable of efficiently generating high-resolution, photorealistic images.

fast pagoda

binary hypercube looks so bad out of context but that is the state I'm thinking in most of the time

#

"it reveals that the model effectively learns the
discrete nature of binary tokens without any manual constraints." And this is NNv4

#

you'd then match it to a embedding which is crossed via normal transformers

#

patching is the only way this scales, so makes sense there

#

we are doing well because we get free cross attention from the bits, yeah only makes sense if your abstracting once for image noise then another for general context.

#

SIlently proving that patch matching can stack

#

That is about all I know, starting to go into the generation part which I still don't fully understand yet. Sure it is a transformer model, but it is still weird to me.

#

as an open letter to anyone who might try and impl something similar, you need patching for this to work; trying to binary match a single token's worth of infomation isn't enough to generalize

I will correct myself and say NNv4 doesn't act in the same way as this paper, they are still using transformers just with bit activations; meanwhile I'm pattern matching.

#

azure lynx do all text2image and image2image models use CLIP? coz it feels like i see CLIP'...

no they do not

#

a lot do though

#

it's small and good-ish at what it does

#

since around sd 2.0 (flop) it used openclip and clip

#

and then after that you had clip + t5

#

which is an llm

#

imagen doesnt use clip

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:05 AM

#

it really has trouble when you start using prepositions though

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:05 AM

#

it just uses t5

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:06 AM

#

relative locations and stuff

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:06 AM

#

flux and sd3 type DiT typically use multiple clips which concat embeds

#

and t5

#

but in later gens recently clip is kinda fading out finally

#

larger more recent DiT use t5

#

some of the recent chinese models use GLM

#

which i believe is how GLM (the precursor to like, GLM5) started

#

clip is not an LLM

#

so it cannot grasp anything like what an LLM can

#

all it does is contrastive pairs

#

the models that use clip + t5 or similar generally just use clip as a styyle guide

#

aesthetic stuff

#

it's good at that

#

just nothing as far as precise placement or anything

#

autoregressor iamge gen i dont think use clip in general

#

because that's part of their wheelhouse

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:11 AM

#

clip also gets the wrong homonym at chance levels, but it's consistent with what it thinks you mean.

#

coz it's just a word -> concept match

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:11 AM

#

clip is a truly brainless encoder

#

that's it

#

you can replace CLIP with the encoder portion of just about any LLM

#

it will change how the model "acts" though

#

77 tokens hasnt come up for me in at least 2 years

#

as far as being something i've even remembered was an issue

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:16 AM

#

i hardly ever use such big prompts, but i generated some prompts using some other data and some were really long and i got it on a couple of different models. they might've been old. i mostly based it on download numbers.

#

i wanted a small model so i could try live updating an avatar directly from the model... was still too slow to do it live without caching.

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:17 AM

#

i think if you go on like civit you'll find the most popular by raw downloads are still like sd1.5

#

because those were very easy to run and it was brand new so they were huge

#

with lightning distills and stuff peple got to almost real time with these models

#

with like 4090s and very small sdxl lightning checkpoints with distils making the gens in like 1-4 steps possible

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:19 AM

#

sdxl turbo i think was one i played with for that. was borderline ok but i couldn't get enough image stability. couldn't provide latents for image2image because it would overwrite the image

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:20 AM

#

you have to limit the amount it can change the image otherwise it'll immediately poof it into dust

#

running something with like .2 weight on the init image can get subtle cahnges

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:21 AM

#

without the latents it would also just blit between different modifications as i traversed the embedding space

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:21 AM

#

yeah there were a lot of fun little videos possible with that

#

i slopped out a controlnet guided (lineart) shukusei video in like 2023

#

that used that in the background

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:23 AM

#

with the text2image i had good stability of the characters, but they looked nothing like my art.
but with image2image and a character still, i had the character looking like my art but they weren't stable when they morphed.

#

there's got to be a different source for the latents during the image generation.

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:25 AM

#

first lora of any kind i ever trained were sd1.5 ones

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:25 AM

#

coz it produces different images with the same prompt, which means it's not just using the image itself as the latent

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:25 AM

#

it does, but the samplers introduce noise

#

by design

#

they are deterministic in general if you use the same seed and init

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:27 AM

when i pass in a latents argument, it converts the image to noise.... what argument should i pass in?

        pooled_prompt_embeds=interp_pooled,
        image = mindy,
#        latents=latents, # Crucial: use the SAME latents to keep character identity... or use image
        num_inference_steps=4,
        strength = 0.25,
        guidance_scale=0.0
    ).images[0]

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:30 AM

#

i imagine if you're not specifying a seed it will simply use a random

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:30 AM

#

if i have image as well as latents, it always draws a noisy gray image

#

i do a slerp over the embeds to get the interpolated bits

#

the idea was to generate every possible expression using facial expression descriptions with the base avatar... but it didn't work well.

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:34 AM

#

that kind of thing is not generally what diffusion image models are good at because as you have found their outputs are very uncontrollable with that kind of consistency and granularity

#

it's inherent to the way they work

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:34 AM

#

this is why it was a big deal with gpt4o finally was allowed to generate images

#

it's autoregressive

#

works completely differently

#

was much more consistent from that

#

plus the strength of its encoder portion was being a massive llm

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 9:35 AM

#

when i change it to use the text2image stuff it just works how I expected. it's because image2image is a hack, isn't it?

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 9:35 AM

I'm not controlling the colours, though.

#

 public static void WriteOscillatingGradient(string text, double time)
 {
     Console.Write('\r');

     for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
     {
         double t = (Math.Sin(time + i * 0.3) + 1) / 2; 

       
         var r = (byte)LinearInterpolate(255, 0, t);
         var g = (byte)LinearInterpolate(0, 255, t);
         var b = (byte)LinearInterpolate(128, 255, t); 

         Console.ForegroundColor = ClosestConsoleColor(r, g, b);

     }
     Console.ResetColor();
 }
  public static double LinearInterpolate(double a, double b, double t)
  {
      return a + (b - a) * t;
  }

It was meant to interpolate between these, but I messed up somehow.

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 11:14 AM

#

there aren't many close colors and you've fixed the red and green values and the blue value is only 0-1

mighty bane Feb 18, 2026, 11:15 AM

#

But it should go between red-red and blue-blue in a scaling.

#

I think it's because console snaps to 'closest' very rigidly.. but yeah, I forgot this (original was used in a non-console environment and allowed for very smooth gradients)

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 11:18 AM

#

i'd just do:

r  = 255 * (Math.Sin(time + i * 0.301) + 1) / 2; 
g  = 255 * (Math.Sin(time + i * 0.2941) + 1) / 2; 
b  = 255 * (Math.Sin(time + i * 0.311) + 1) / 2;

#

so that way they don't just fade in and out in sync

mighty bane Feb 18, 2026, 11:20 AM

#

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 11:20 AM

#

that should make sparkly colors that drift out of sync

#

to make it more shimmery, multiply the time value by a small number, like 0.1 or 0.025 maybe

#

then it'll blend more smoothly (at the expense of starting grayer)

#

might want to make it 16 + 240 * instead of 255 * so it doesn't go completely black

#

might even need to be 64 + 192 * coz of the quantization

mighty bane Feb 18, 2026, 11:26 AM

#

Yeah I gotchu!

azure lynx Feb 18, 2026, 11:26 AM

#

erg.. if there's only 2 levels of blue it might be 255/3. 85 + 170 * might work if the others don't

fickle rain > nvidia dlss 3 is a software scam to let unreal engine 5 devs skip optimization...

Well the dlss claim is one of the main parts that id describe as a bit much, i played with dlss 4.5 preset k at stuff like 360x240 upscaled to 1080p and its like Witchcraft. However i can absolutely understand that theyre upset at the lack of just simple optimizations just not being done, so many tricks in old games because they were needed, and they had to the average player no real visual impact.. and the decline in actually meaningful settings is kinda sad. Games like battlefield 1 and such, if you set the quality to low, vs medium vs high vs ultra actually had a difference that was visible.. nowadays the only really noticeable difference is between low and medium, and Performance wise, many games barely Care about what settings youre at, it all runs roughly the same.. which defeats the point of lower graphic settings.. an example of this would be "It takes Two", probably not the best example but a game that i recently played and noticed that

and if office is written in typescript, that'll be because it runs in a webbrowser now too.

proven merlin Feb 18, 2026, 1:56 PM

I personally do think that dlss is overused, but it has a valid usecase and is valid that it exists. Once dlss can render and then upscale from a lower resolution to a higher one faster than it takes to render natively without AA, and then looks as good as lets say 120% render scale, thats where imo it shines. Its surprisingly close to that

Interesting. Mods have shown that they don't even need to. You can speed it up just by using modern OpenGL properly. I suppose Vulkan is better for current mobile drivers though.

like seriously it might be worth it regarding speed but if you wanna use libtorch make sure your project is simple

fast pagoda Feb 18, 2026, 3:30 PM

technically by using pytorch ultimately you're using c++ because that's what it wraps

it uses libtorch itself

it's just precompiled extensions
