What is the name of this fist to chest and deep humming called in EDM?

And who invented it? I recall Demitri Vegas & Like Mike, for their song Anthem maybe? But can't remember so just curious if there is a name for this

MLX based generative fill on M3 MBA 16GB?

I'm trying to just add background to images to change them from 2:1 to 3:2 or 1:1 outside of the frame.

I am using a M3 MBA 16GB so not the most powerful machine for this stuff, especially with lack of RAM, but it has me wondering if any lightweight MLX models can handle this quickly nowadays?

Currently using this local model in ComfyUI and it's on average 100 seconds per image just to add a bit of extra gravel on the bottom below the vehicle, outside of the frame. (3:2 2048 x 1365 px).

Below this image is the model I am using. Any suggestions for making this faster, easier, more efficient? If my hardware is not up for the job, any reasonably priced online tools to make this much more effective? I have over 1,000 images and I'm OK with leaving it on overnight to it's thing.

  • Model: sd-v1-5-inpainting.fp16.safetensors — Stable Diffusion 1.5 (inpainting variant), by Runway/Stability AI. It's a general-purpose open-source image model from 2022. Standard PyTorch weights, not Apple-specific.
  • Runtime: ComfyUI runs it via PyTorch + MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) — Apple's GPU API. So your M3's GPU is being used, just not optimally.

Do you think trailer 3 will be as good as trailer 1?

Trailer 1 gave a sense of what’s possible, even if we haven’t seen gameplay yet, it still shows the newest version of the Rage engine. Regardless of how good trailer 3 is, this game is going to be absolutely insane. I cannot wait to experience the world that they built. I know people are getting impatient after all of the waiting, but I really think in the end it will be worth it.

User uploads: what is the best practice for handling source image files?

If users are allowed to upload images, what is the best practice?

Should I strip all metadata to save some storage and convert to srgb to fix any weird ICC profiles? Have max file size and dimensions too?

I am using Cloudflare R2 bucket for all images but if it doesn't handle this for me, I could run a script to optimize the source files on VPS before it hits R2.

Is it easy to use Cloudflare R2 for images with Directus?

I am self hosted on a VPS and I would prefer to have all of my images hosted in Cloudflare R2. I have approximately 60GB worth of images for my website and I would be adding them via Directus collections -> using the "files" and "image" inputs. Having previews within Directus would be great.

Has anyone had any success hooking this up?

Or is it really different comparing the feat of San Andres on PS2?

If a game is made for Series X it’s basically an easy port for the Series S? Or not quite that simple.. I just hope the Series S doesn’t hold this game back in some ways.

Very interesting video and kudos for Rockstar for making it actually happen.

I have a checkbox called "Type" inside my collection and the only two options are "Founders" and "Collectors"

Can I filter Directus search to only show Collectors? I was expecting to see this as an option when I click the dropdown for Type
