It‘s mainly due to system requirements that Flux.2-dev doesn’t get same usage as Z-Image. A 5090 needs about a minute to generate an image with a basic workflow with Flux.2-dev. But prompt adherence and scene/character consistency in edit mode is (way) ahead of Qwen-Edit-2509 if you ask me.
I feel tired reading about him and it doesn’t even phase me anymore. It‘s just another thing I add on to the pile. Maybe it’s part of the plan to go numb to everything he does.
I still don’t understand what a “leftist” is, exactly. In my politics, I guess I’m conventionally more of a centrist. I’ve never registered as a Democrat. I tend to stay out of “woke” activism. But I’m appalled that a convicted felon and rapist who very visibly tried to steal the last election is now performing a hostile takeover of the federal government together with the richest businessman in the world. Does that make me a “leftist”? Or just, like, a totally fucking normal person?

sadly, yes. Look at the comment upstream trying to equivalate "musk fanboys" and labeling opponents as "people on the internet consumed by hate". That's the US polarization at work.
lot of apolitical people just want to sweep everything under a rug and ignore it. I realized at the beginning of the month that this isn't something to ignore, though.
Its comedic to hear that the left is the party of hate. Yes, up is down, down is up. War is peace. All that. Sure man, sure.
I somewhat agree that there's a totally out of touch disconnected sort that is bothered by being part of the body electorate, that doesn't take seriously a civic duty: would rather not pay attention, who doesn't like the conflict. I doubt your biased lopsided anecdata, doubt know many centrists changing their vote. But as the grossly unpopular & despised Project 2025 that Trump disavowed steamrolls this nation & as algorithmic AI run systems perhaps start being used by the state to mechanize programmed bias, well, those folks will be impacted deeply, and saddened, and it's unfortunate they were left slumbering & derelict from their civic duty to pay real attention, or to tune into something besides Fox News or Newsmax earlier.
I mean they make a bold statement up top just to paddle back a little bit further down with: "[…] In terms of Chinese and Cantonese recognition, the SenseVoice-Small model has advantages."
The Guardian, especially for their podcasts, is the only news website I am paying and have ever payed for. And I pay more willingly than any other newspaper would get from me for their paywall stuff. It‘s that valuable for me to support this approach.
Language learning via hearing comprehension of content not produced in the target language is almost impossible, because the subtitles never match.
However there‘s s difference between CC (close captions) and subtitles, with the former being the verbatim representation (including sfx, music etc.) in my experience.
Correct, and you can find CCs more likely on movies and shows that were shot in the respective language itself. For example, the stuff from https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/100396 is much more likely to have 100% accurate captions if your goal is to learn Spanish
I found dubbed shows significantly easier to listen then native shows. It is actually easier to learn from those then from native shows. Dubbing is almost always better pronounced and less mixed with background sounds.
Also, the claim that it is impossible to learn if you don't have perfect cc subtitle in target language is absurd. You can use subtitles in own language to get the meaning.
Keto is a very special case where the body depletes its glucose storages so it switches to fat by force. It does work, but you have to stay out of any kind of carbohydrate for the rest of your life (or for whatever amount do you plan to stay in that state).
In non ketogenic states, input does somewhat equals output.
Nutrition experts still try to create a caloric deficit when they create nutrition plans.
If there was some sort of magic nutrient that made you lose weight by eating mostly the same food, I'm sure most nutrition experts would have known already.
