Holy pipe riding Batman

September 4, 2024 matt Comments 0 Comment

Dean Tennant MTB takes a ride across a pipeline bridge.

Conner Slevin, a local resident paralyzed in an accident in 2020, is suing his former attorney Jessica Molligan who he claims made legal arrangements, sent communications, and negotiated settlements without his knowledge. Molligan allegedly made dozens of ADA violation lawsuits in his name against local Portland businesses with the real goal of making herself rich.

In many cases, the property owners said they didn’t know there was an ADA compliance issue until they received a demand letter from the Portland lawyer. The initial letter didn’t specify what needed to be fixed but proposed a settlement agreement. Molligan wouldn’t sue if the owner agreed to make repairs, bring the property into compliance, and pay attorney’s fees of roughly $10,000 or more.

The only problem is that Slevin didn’t know she was doing all this in his name. She’s now being sued by Slevin.

Synthet has a set of fun music/mixing tutorials in which he teaches his various editing and tweaking techniques using the very techniques to do the teaching. They’re really creative and enjoyable. Give one a listen:

Einstürzende Neubauten, Autobahn

September 2, 2024 matt Comments 0 Comment

Welcome to 6:47 of complete, bonkers industrial music played by the experimental music group Einstürzende Neubauten. Formed in West Berlin in 1980, here they are in 1984 playing on piles of junk in a piece they called ‘Autobahn’. Scraping steel, chainsaws, grinders, and screaming. Just what’s you expect from a 1980’s German punk/industrial/what-the-heck-was-that band.

https://youtu.be/odKf7_sA5HQ?si=MeexFWLxeYmO8X–

What are they doing now? One member became a music lawyer/label owner, and others are still doing ‘art’:

If you like the bizarre, try out the Swedish band Silencer that release one bonkers album and then largely disappeared.

Installing Black Forest Flux.1

August 31, 2024 matt Comments 1 comment

Stable Diffusion really opened the world to what is possible with generative AI. Stable Diffusion 2 and 3 …well…did not go so well. For a while now, Stable Diffusion 1.5 was your best bet on locally generated AI art but it is really showing it’s age.

Now there is a new player in open source generative AI you can run locally. The developers from Stability.ai have founded Black Forest Labs and released their open source tool: Flux.1

While there are plenty of online generative AI’s like Midjourney, Adobe Firefly and others, they usually require paid or only give limited usage. What’s great about Flux.1 is that is allows completely local installation and usage.

Like many open source packages, there are free and paid versions. Their paid Pro version gives the most impressive results via their api (no purely local generation), a local dev version that can be used by developers but not for commercial use, and a free schnell version for personal use. Both the dev and shnell versions are available for local install and use.

So, lets get started with the shnell version – but the instructions are the same for dev except using 2 different model/weight files.

Instructions for installing Flux.1 on nVidia based Windows 10/11 system:

Prerequisites:
- Ensure you have python installed (I used 3.12.5)
- Ensure you have pip installed (I used pip 24.2)
- Ensure you have git installed and working
- You might want to enable Windows Long Path support as python sometimes requires it for dependent packages. Be sure to reboot your system after enabling it.
- Supported graphics card.
- 32gb of system ram (though again, you can use the smaller model if you have less ram)
Open a command prompt and make a local working root directory somewhere, I’ll use c:\depot\
We’re going to follow the instructions on the ComfyUI git page.
- Clone the ComfyUI project

C:\depot> git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git

Install pytorch

Nvidia users should install stable pytorch using this command:

C:\depot> pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

This is the command to install pytorch nightly instead which might have performance improvements:

C:\depot>pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu124

Change directory into ComfyUI and ensure the requirements.txt file is there:

Use pip to install all the ComfyUI requirements:

C:\depot\ComfyUI>pip install -r requirements.txt

Download and install the model data files in the correct folders

After you have ComfyUI downloaded, you need to get the model files and put them in the right places. Model files are found here and are downloaded and put inside the proper comfyUI\models\ subfolders.

You have a few options. First, you need to pick if you’re using the non-commercial Dev version or Schnell version. After that, each has the option of a single easy to use checkpoint package file, or each of the model data files individually. I’ll be using the Schnell ones, but you just need to get the Dev ones from the Dev branch if you want those instead.

If you’re running out of memory, you can replace the \clip\t5xxl_fp16.safetensors with t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors located here.

Start up the engine by running python on main.py

A module that was compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot be run in
NumPy 2.0.1 as it may crash. To support both 1.x and 2.x
versions of NumPy, modules must be compiled with NumPy 2.0.
Some module may need to rebuild instead e.g. with 'pybind11>=2.12'.

If you are a user of the module, the easiest solution will be to
downgrade to 'numpy<2' or try to upgrade the affected module.
We expect that some modules will need time to support NumPy 2.

When it completes you should see your image. You can then save your image or tweak the parameters.

It turns out that I, and others, have the wrong version of numpy. This fixed it by exiting out of the server (ctrl-c) and then installing numpy verison 1.26.4:

C:\depot\ComfyUI>pip install numpy==1.26.4

Uninstalling all pip/python package, clear your pip cache, then re-install the requirements

The first time I installed, I got an error when downloading the numpy library during step in which you pip install the requirements. In order to clear the pip cache, uninstall all pip packages, then re-install all requirements again, I did the following:

C:\depot\ComfyUI> pip uninstall -r requirements.txt -y 
C:\depot\ComfyUI> python -m pip cache purge

Then I re-ran all the pip installation commands.

Riumplus built his own Myst linking book – in which you can see not only video; but play the actual game. He used a copy of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Volume LIV, Issue 312, December 1876 to May 1877 to make the outside of the book.

You haven’t lived until you’ve gone to a stationary shop in Japan. They have the most amazing products, pens, papers, calligraphy, notebooks, binders, pencil cases, sharpeners, and gadgets.

Little Bubby Child

August 28, 2024 matt Comments 0 Comment

Little Bubbly Child has some of the more colorful characters one might meet in rural/Appalachian locations. While I love rural areas and find them full of the wonderful and often well educated people, if you’ve lived in these locations you’ve probably met one or more of these folks that everyone sighs when they interact with them.

How interpreters at the UN work

August 27, 2024 matt Comments 0 Comment

It turns out, there are only 6 officially supported interpreted languages at the UN – so how does that work with dozens of languages (hint: via a clever relay system)? How much to interpreters get paid? What are some interesting facts about interpreting and brain usage?
