I can’t remember anyone justifying out of personal dislike or popularity. Their justification is that this person’s actions are mass social murder, suggesting that such anti-social people deserve to be killed if the legal system refuses to punish and deter them. The fact that people generally hate a mass killer is incidental, it’s not the reason they deserve a punishment.
There are good arguments against vigilantism in general, and while I don’t fully agree in this specific case, I respect them as valid reasons. But to say this assassin is being given a free pass just because people don’t like them is absurd.

He didn’t get murdered for being unpopular.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
Morality is subjective, no real system can truly decide what is evil. But in this case we’re talking about, it’s pretty clear cut that the CEO was a willful threat to the health of millions. This isn’t some abstract slippery slope of dubious vigilantism, might as well be claiming that the assassination attempts on Hitler were a gateway to Mad Max dystopia.

Why?

“N00B”? Maybe as banter to dunk on the scrub, but that CEO had years of experience killing. It was a boss fight.

We’ve collectively agreed to put the law above
I don’t remember agreeing to these laws. I break the dumbest ones constantly. Laws are made by politicians who are controlled by the owning class. They are enforced on us, not developed by us. That’s why corporations and their board of directors can rape the earth and kill thousands and millions while you and me can get jailed for petty little things.

Who’s he going to pick next?
This was not a random or petty attack. Their message on the bullet casings makes it clear they were attacking this person because they’ve knowingly helped enable incomprehensible amounts of human suffering on a scale of millions.
I understand that vigilantism, speaking generally, has its own serious dangers. But speaking specifically, this person is clearly not a threat to people who aren’t legalized mass murderers. Who’s he going to pick next? Probably the CEO of the second most abusive healthcare insurer.
That said, obviously with limited resources the police have to pick what cases take priority over others.
The police follow the law. The law is defined by politicians, who are effectively purchased by the owner class. The police were never going to arrest that CEO for their crimes against humanity, it would be illegal for them to do it out of the public interest. Direct vigilantism was the only realistic chance at deterrence in this situation.
because they’re too busy chasing down all those people who hurt others’ fee-fees by misgendering them
Weird fantasy but ok.

Interesting take, but on the other hand I suspect that nothing new would be learned. afaik their main forensics techniques aren’t really a mystery, there are thousands of cases to learn from.

That’s not true.

The repeated mention of “jury nullification” here is a cop-out.
Jury nullification is essentially an admission that the law itself is unjust and the popular belief is that it should be ignored, nullified. So why pretend the legal system is valid in the first place? I do not see the legal system as fair or representative of the people; if it was, this assassination wouldn’t have ever happened. The laws are made by politicians and the politicians represent the owner class, those with enough money to purchase politics.
If you don’t want to see the assassin prosecuted, if you too “didn’t see anything”, then why insist “murder is murder” when you clearly think this one doesn’t deserve equal treatment? It’s utopian idealism, the kind of rule that holds true in an ignorant vacuum experiment but not in this unfair rigged game of a world.
The appropriate sentence for this crime is: “Keep up the important work.”

True, the mass murderer wasn’t caught. They were assassinated on video. You can watch it if you want proof.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
Given the perspective you described, I would consider the actions of the company to be systematic mass murder who the legal system fails to stop, and the actions of the shooter to be community defense against a mass murderer. They’re certainly not equivalent, and I don’t see what the benefit is of treating that defense equally to even one callous for-profit murder.
The problem isn’t that exceptions are made and therefore all crimes should be treated in an ignorant vacuum. The problem is that the idealist legal system doesn’t even consider indirect suffering as the violence it is, because the legal system is ultimately beholden to the power of capital (money buys politicians and the media power to make them win, politicians write laws).

- Comment on Some thoughts on Pony v7 deciding to use AuraFlow (PonyFlow) 2 weeks ago:
I had no idea this took so much VRAM
fwiw, an update I didn’t see before:
I did some experiments, 16GB should be doable right now with just weight unloading, so the comfy workflow should just work.
From /r/StableDiffusion/comments/1gpa65w/v7_updates_on_civitai_twitch_stream_tomorrow_nov/lwxc7jj/
It’s still huge and restrictive to consumer GPUs, although that’s already reduced by 1/3, and optimistically they could be right about this number going down as optimizations happen (see the Mochi quote).
I assumed it was around SDXL in size.
I just assumed that since AuraFlow is competing with FLUX and SD3.5 that it would be closer to them. Honestly Pony v6 will probably be alive and active until higher VRAM GPUs become more and more normal.

- Comment on Acly/krita-ai-diffusion: Version 1.26.0 Custom ComfyUI Node Graphs From Within Krita 2 months ago:
Seeing the previous krita-ai-diffusion and the skill of the demonstrator in selecting and img2img’ing encouraged me to give Krita a second try (it turns out my laptop+Mint had a keyboard setting which made the panning shortcut break, so I’ve fixed that and now it’s far more usable).
As for this video, it’s great to see the ComfyUI integration (and with a logo on the node too!). The tool was already powerful and impressive, and this seems like a huge step up.
- Comment on What are some tools for organizing Stable Diffusion-generated images? 2 months ago:
I wanted to give it a proper try before replying. This is what I was looking for. Detailed searches, custom tags (I can use them as various quality ratings) and more. It’s also nice to know it can run as a standalone executable in case I want to try out AuraFlow before it becomes available in A1111/Forge. Thank you!

The schnell live demo is impressive. My decade-old rig takes minutes per step on Flux, so this is actually a useful way for me to check for known concepts in almost real-time. It even had time to show me a quick Phở when I was typing in

I didn’t even think of dual cards, because I have an old & budget motherboard with one slot. But 2 x 16GB GPUs and a new motherboard (and if necessary, new CPU) and PSU and it might even still be cheaper than a 24GB NVIDIA for me. Of course I’d have to explore the trade-offs in detail because I’ve never looked into how dual cards work.
(but truth be told, I just as easily could settle for a 1x16 GB if I’m confident it would be able to train, even if slowly, AuraFlow or FLEX LoRas for the upcoming Pony v7 model. It’s just a hobby.)
- Comment on Question about upcoming trends and hardware requirements 2 months ago:
I am using a lot of Pony* models at the moment and Pony v7 looks like it will switch to AuraFlow or FLUX so it’s useful to hear your experience with it on a 3080Ti.
- Comment on Question about upcoming trends and hardware requirements 2 months ago:
I found a couple of 2022 posts recommending 3090s, especially since cryptocoin miners were selling lots of them cheap. Thanks for the heads up about the 5000 release, I suspect it will be above my budget but it will net me better deals on a 4090 :P
- Comment on Question about upcoming trends and hardware requirements 2 months ago:
Do you know how much wattage those GPUs use, even if I disconnected my solar panels and ran the card 100% 24/7? Protip: it rounds down to zero.
If you’re serious about the global environmental crisis, comrade, organize with others to fight industrial-scale culprits instead of wasting your valuable time blaming trivial people.
