As written, at least for us, this already IS a serious issue. I think there is simply not enough German-language AI projects yet, and so we Germans prefer to discuss real pressing matters such as the 'Pendlerpauschale'… o.O
Over the last six months, me and friend tried to automate German comedy. It’s a long read, but I thought it deserved a proper write-up because, instead of just speculating about AI in business, we actually built it… questions very welcome!
"derweil is an interactive video installation correlating time, space and big data to provide tailor-made instructions on how to get lost.
Materials: Google Directions and Streetview APIs, JavaScript, NW.js, cables.gl, Involt, Arduino IDE, computers, thermal paper, plastic, metals, wood."
(I doubt I could still run this today, though. I used some kind of 'hack' to bypass Google Streetview API limitations and I'm pretty sure they fixed this ages ago… ;D)
Mpv is great! And also the only player I found to be externally controlable, e.g. through a hardware jog/shuttle or an Arduino. This might be outdated (from 2018), but for reference (me talking to myself ;): https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/53208/video...
Cables is absolutely fantastic. I used it personally for an art project, as well as was involved with a commerical AR experience which used cables to run elaborate, fully interactive 3d scenes in a normal browser, on mobile. As with other node based languages (e.g. vvvv, max/msp), you edit your code while it's running, so you directly see what you're doing without constantly switching interfaces. And in the end it generates a js file you can just embed in an iframe. Honestly, no idea why this is not more widely used, huge fan!
…well, if it runs. Because all these predictive-auto-whatever features also break things: Eg., I have a bug in Apple Mail [1], which basically breaks "entering text into a computer using a keyboard" – a problem I would have thought was solved some 70+ years ago, but alas, here we are…
I read almost all of this, and am kind of torn on this ressource: On one hand this is a great introduction to ComfyUI, including concepts and possibilities, and it really IS helpful for getting started. Thanks to the authors for putting in the work!
That said, some of the information, especially regarding the more technical parts, is somewhat misleading (debatable, simplification is hard), and at times outright false (e.g. "This method is called LoRA (Loopy Recurrent Attention)"… what?), so don't make it your only source of info.
Eg. I found this also helpful: https://blenderneko.github.io/ComfyUI-docs/
