New comment by jameshe in "Stable Diffusion PR optimizes VRAM, generate 576x1280 images with 6 GB VRAM"

jameshe — Sun, 04 Sep 2022 03:48:23 +0000

Looks like 10GB in the README[0] for a 512x512 image - though the fork[1] from the repo in this PR claims to be able to work with as little as 4GB VRAM.

Noticed it was down for about 2 minutes, but up again. As with any big outage, I wonder how much money was lost in those 2 minutes...

New comment by jameshe in "Show HN: Berkeley Mono Typeface"

jameshe — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 18:50:42 +0000

Yeah, every time a typeface is shared on here it is met with some opposition since most cost money for individuals/personal use. I understand it's hard to take the time to design a nice typeface and that the creators should be compensated for their work, but sadly it means fonts like these are practically limited to commercial use. I wonder if there's a better way to turn a profit on typefaces - there's been a handful of really interesting ones posted on HN I've wanted to try.

I remember a while back someone posted an open source alternative [0], the biggest downside being that there are fewer features and must be run locally. Also some of the same problems exist as mentioned in the OP.

How fun - same goes with the previews on hover over timestamps then, I guess?

Another reference, but the /r/youtube reddit thread[0] for this issue has users reporting globally

Seems like just the video player is down - homepage loads with thumbnails, and when you click on a video, everything but the video player renders. What I find interesting is that scrolling through a video still displays closed captions and even the thumbnail preview of the timestamp you're hovering over. Curious if anyone know what causes something like this?

At least in my case, I haven't had to configure anything. Perhaps it's included in OBS VirtualCam? (see my original post)

In my last year of university, current experience includes development of web applications & leading a React Native dev team for a local startup (current), as well as producing blogs (generally Flask but recently React) and Shopify sites for student organizations. Self-taught, but looking for opportunities where I can help make something awesome in a group of folks that I can learn from as well. :)

I use OBS Studio with OBS-VirtualCam [0] to attend virtual lectures & hold meetings for my team. I've found it to be incredibly convenient because you can control nearly everything with scenes and the audio controls.

Before meetings start, I can broadcast music and display announcements, and then without having to hit a jarring "End Screenshare" can switch to my webcam and start a meeting. Live demos and presentations are another scene with the desktop/window/browser and webcam. 100% would recommend.

New comment by jameshe in "Ask HN: How to Deal with Agile Card Scope Creep"

jameshe — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 18:26:37 +0000

It seems like the comment would be better as a note for the next Sprint retrospective / planning meeting since it should be a separate card. Under the ticket/card/issue/MR seems non-productive to me but if your coworker seems to do it often, it might be because he doesn't understand or didn't have clear instruction for where comments like that can go.

New comment by jameshe in "Ask HN: How can a intermediate-beginner learn Unix/Linux and programming?"

jameshe — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 22:41:37 +0000

Based on personal experience, I can totally echo this comment. I am a business undergrad (senior year), but I am a JavaScript developer for a local start-up. On my Windows laptop, my workflow included applications from MS Office, as well as PowerShell and Vim. At the beginning of this semester, my laptop broke (screen) and I couldn't afford a repair, so I dug up an old ThinkPad T430 that I installed Ubuntu on a couple years back. It was an old machine (2012?) that I bought used, after some searching done on my phone, I upgraded the OS and got to work.

Based on my experience with the switch, I've learned miles more about Linux and how computers work than I would've before. I might even say I like the experience more than I did before. On top of that, as the parent comment says, I've learned more about Linux, shell script, the directory tree, regular expressions, etc., than I think I would've otherwise by self-teaching. It might (read: "definitely will") be uncomfortable at first, but the Linux community is big and helpful and there's plenty of great open-source software that can replace your old workflows.

As far as picking a language goes, I started with Python for the reasons above, but really, starting anywhere is better than being stuck deciding. Common starting points are Python, Java, JavaScript, C#, but really, just pick any language with a large community to help you out. When you think you know enough, consider ideas for a personal project, which is where you'll likely learn the most. After that, keep learning and if you think you want to learn something else, you'll realize how much easier it will be with one language under your belt already.
