I am using a lot of Pony* models at the moment and Pony v7 looks like it will switch to AuraFlow or FLUX [1] so it's useful to hear your experience with it on a 3080Ti.
Good to know about CUDA/Direct ML.
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
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.
As someone else said, the secret is that the US isn't 'turning into', it's been bad for at least a century. We've finally gotten to the point where racism is starting to get unpopular enough that it's not just normal and largely ignored.
Even without guns involved, there are many regions with antifascist groups which come and give them a beating (see Patriot Front getting run out of Philadelphia). Collective violent resistance intimidates them. Non-violent tactics are essential, they come first and are more important overall, but violence makes them scare to come outside. Just look at the dissolution of the British Union of Fascists after the '43 Group threw bricks at them enough times for a big example (there are many smaller examples - especially since modern neo-nazis tend to recruit scrawny teens online who can't handle getting beaten up).
As an aside, I've always found it hilarious when a Faux News host says 'the media', as if they're not one of the biggest media outlets in the world. It's an amazing disassociation and it seems to land somehow. The television screen tells you "the media doesn't want you to know the truth!", o fanged poet.
The organization is full of full blown vile Marxists who to “abolish capitalism” and establish socialism
Well, yeah, they're socialists. Why shouldn't they want to abolish capitalism and establish socialism? There's nothing vile about that.
They outright want the destruction of Israel.
The dissolution of the state of Israel. Their worldview understands it as a settler-colonial ethnostate, just like former apartheid South Africa was. Jews, Christians, Muslims and others co-existed in Palestine before the Zionist state of Israel was established, the two-state situation is segregation caused by the establishment of a Zionist regime.
They organized a tone deaf pro-Palestinian rally on Oct 8th right after the attacks when the world was still in shock
That is a perfectly-appropriate time to rally support. They are pro-Palestinian and wanted to make it clear that people believed the resistance was supported, regardless of whether they are critical of the methods. The mass media gets to have its voice immediately, so rallies should not wait either.
They condemn social democracy
Yes. Democratic socialists are not capitalists and would not consider liberal democracy (especially the US version!) a working form of democracy, and don't consider social capitalist parties within it to be effective because they must work within a broken system. Social democracy is a false hope to them.
And their interests are not with the US succeeding, they are nothing more than assets of our foreign adversaries.
Most socialists will understand the US as a settler-colonial imperialist state from day 1, so yes, their interests are ultimately that the US (as we know it) should stop being imperial terrorists that most of the world (including state allies) hate. But to call that being "nothing more than assets of our foreign adversaries" is ignorant of the very real and growing discontent with the US's own borders. A lot of US citizens hate the US governments and how they work, and to blame that on foreign adversaries will ultimately prevent them from being solved and prevent their numbers growing.

Dear consumer: do not operate this motor vehicle while experiencing emotion
edit: I've updated the title as I've discovered more information: a credible death threat isn't quite the same as attempted murder
Their argument is that the Voice isn't even something good. It doesn't give Indigenous people any powers they didn't already have, and the Voice can be ignored just as easily as the advice of the royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody recently was. Interview with the Black Peoples Union describes in better detail.
But even if that weren't the case and they did think it wasn't worthless symbolism, successful collective bargaining doesn't just settle for every first offer. So I don't know why you're claiming it's a bad strategy, it's how unions have won important gains for workers. It's a strategy that has been historically shown to work when applied correctly.
pls no more punchlines in the title!
It's a rhetorical technique known as the PPB sandwich. Bait them with productive counterpoints, hit them with the ppb, then soften the exit with further civil discussion.
Soon enough we will be seeing it within single replies.

An Etiquette Guide for New Users
(lemmy.ml)
post-script:
This was evidently made in a hurry, so I'll need some help from you all in the comments to polish it or add anything important that I have overlooked. Or, you know, apply actual basic graphic design principles. Regardless, I think it will serve as a prototype guide for newcomers.
I encourage using the crosspost feature to share this around where appropriate (this place has grown so much I haven't found all the relevant meta communities). All rights reversed, none reserved
One more thing I didn't explicitly say was: seize this opportunity to do something new! While it is good to see a lot of fun communities moving over, we naturally run the risk of just replaying the same old game. Even just the little things like people recycling 'sub-lemmy' or 'lemmiquette' (which isn't even a pun anymore) and the same old in-joke memes. Be creative and fresh! That's how you build a community and prevent people just leaving after a month.

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.)
