I haven’t determined that. I only have one device set up to run SD and haven’t organized any test with someone else.
I mean, if the concern is that tiling is a factor relative to non-tiling, okay, but if someone else is tiling, l’d think that they’d get the same output.
That’s true, I’ll check to see if the metadata mentions the tiling was used.
Good call-out. My (naïve) understanding is that tools like tiling VAE to handle low VRAM, and lowing steps in the more stable of the samplers, are going to have a generally negative impact on the result, and a very similar image with better detail could be remade using similar variables on better hardware. Maybe that’s a bit idealistic. Like you said, the seed mode usually changes images with size. (You said ‘usually’, is there a way to minimize this?)
edit: I’m aware ‘better’ and ‘higher quality’ are vague and even subjective terms. But I’m trying to convey something beyond merely higher resolution.
The lack of forced monetization is why I joined Lemmy. It’s a feature.
I just want to say the maintainer who wrote that appears to have handled this gracefully. It gives me hope.
They’ve made a transparent public announcement, making it clear what we should and shouldn’t expect from them, and how we should handle it. They understand the FOSS paradigm (no, I correct myself, the digital paradigm) and have given their blessings for the community to do what they do best. I’d guess the smart thing to do is play along with the cease notice to avoid consequences, go underground and make YouTube play whack-a-mole with sock-puppets and hostile jurisdictions.
Cut off one head and three shall take its place. Wind in your back lads, wherever you go.
Changed my mind lol
