⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Last night (7/24), there seems to have been a major glitch. I'm guessing on the LLM side. People, including myself, were having trouble generating posts, and sometimes receiving posts that seemed to be parts of different stories altogether.

This morning it seemed to be back to normal. But there've still been a few hiccups, like the "stop response" button had disappeared a few times, leaving me to helplessly watch as the A.I. rambles.

I tried to open the summary but instead got a blank window with the warning not to delete them, a submit and cancel button, and nothing else. Hitting the submit button just closed the window. Tested it on a second thread and it didn't work either. (Edit: Should note that both threads were long, and should have had summaries. It was working early yesterday as far as I'm aware.)

Yep, based on the timing of your post, I think I know the cause, and it has been fixed. Basically one GPU in the cluster went haywire (probably memory access problems). I've got code now which guards against this in case it happens again.

like the “stop response” button had disappeared a few times

Is this still happening? If so, any way to reproduce the problem consistently/easily?

I tried to open the summary but instead got a blank window with the warning not to delete them

Is this still a problem? And same as above - are you able to reproduce it?

And yeah I've not yet added back automatic memory creation in /ai-character-chat but I'll hopefully get around to it in the next few days.

No, it's been pretty good since then. It happened a few times though.

Yes, still a problem. /sum is unavailable. Consistent for every thread.

Mentioned in the other thread, but: This should be fixed now. I think I found the issue. Thanks!

If you open dev tools (F11, or CTRL+SHIFT+I) does the console show you any errors and whatnot? Those would be helpful for whoever debugs this stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Edit: Realized what you meant and checked chrome's dev console, but I'll be honest, I have no clue what I'm looking at. Sometimes I can sus out the meanings of one or two things, but not checking errors. ~~Neither of those seem to work. Just toggled fullscreen or took a screenshot when I tried, lol.~~

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I wasn't saying you could sort it out yourself. But if you put those errors here as part of the post, then whoever actually works on these bugs (or someone here who checks them out) would have something more to go on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well without giving me specifics, this is what you get, because I don't know what's important or not. Helpful? Doubt it...but if the dev actually wants me to look for something specific, I can do that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That's the kind of thing, yeah. But really, anything that says "error"--tends to be red. That's all there is to it, there's no special knowledge in spotting an error in there really. Doesn't seem like there's any errors, at least being logged. So I can't help... Hopefully someone comes along who can get more into the weeds with it 👍
