Sometimes I look at a language or product community and think about what it would be like to watch a movie with them, especially talking about the movie after.
Figure I complain enough about most PKMs in the context of dev notes. Org+Emacs is still best there, with Dendron+VS Code in second at some distance but getting better. Todo Tree integration is a nice touch.
VS Code showing a very small note graph and some task classifications.
Casually referencing when I imported a few (thousand) files into Obsidian and that other time I used Robot Framework to export from a crappy Web app.
Suddenly recall a 2002 Microsoft interview where they said I’m too much of a hacker and I’d be bored.
ok maybe

Anyways yeah we are in a good enough situation that we can do the funds vs time math, so: new video card tomorrow. That way I don’t need a bunch of maybe-hacks to play with Stable Diffusion or PyTorch.
11:30 to 6:30? That’s seven hours? Does that explain this disorienting sensation that I think others call feeling “rested?”

@tithonium Oh you’ve experience restfulness?

What’s that like?

Trying to get Stable Diffusion using the GPU on my Radeon 5600 XT via ROCm. So far the results have at best mixed. It renders in 1/6th of the time, but it always renders a flat gray square.
Loud Dog woke me up at 4:30 this morning. Course, I didn’t fall asleep until 12:30. Mind you, if I was one of those folks who could go back to sleep promptly, it wouldn’t be so bad.

Having an Arthur Dent moment here where the image produced by my prompt was almost but not quite entirely unlike my prompt.
screenshot of stable diffusion web ui; prompt: “Waterhouse painting of the world’s most interesting octopus drinking a microbrew at a nice sidewalk cafe in Seattle during a late summer afternoon”; image: A woman reminiscent of Waterhouse paintings, holding a dark beer, near an unattended IPA at a bar on maybe a covered porch; background is a non-specific city waterfront with an octopus maybe
