My appetite is taking me to my home.
I'm anxious. Be patient.
Keep tracking after patterns of the unknown.

Remember to remember.
You will forget.
So have patience.

Playing with Wan2.1 1.3B Text2Video on Mac

This is for testing and generating video from text prompts using Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B (small model) on Mac, these instructions won't work on Windows, so you can try plugging them into ChatGPT and converting them to be windows-specific perhaps if necessary.

See recommended text2video models here, or all possible models here.

System Notes

Llama 405B model requires at least 2TB disk space, and probably 2TB RAM, plus 80GB VRAM to run, for text output (not even video)!

The Book of the Way

The way that can be told,
is not the eternal way.
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.

The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way

I humble myself to the Perfect "AwakenedOne", The best of teachers, who taught that Whatever is dependently arisen is Unceasing, unborn, Unannihilated, not permanent, Not coming, not going, Without distinction, without identity, And free from conceptual construction.

Chapter 1: Examination of Conditions

Neither from itself nor from another, Nor from both, Nor without a cause, Does anything whatever, anywhere arise. There are four conditions: efficient condition; Percept-object condition; immediate condition; Dominant condition, just so. There is no fifth condition. The essence of entities Is not present in the conditions, and so on. If there is no essence, There can be no otherness-essence. Power to act does not have conditions. There is no power to act without conditions. There are no conditions without power to act. Nor do any have the power to act. These give rise to those, So these are called conditions. As long as those do not come from these, Why are thes

The Book of Mary

Chapter 4

The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots. For the nature of matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Peter said to him, Since you have explained everything to us, tell us this also: What is the sin of the world?

40 Messenger Sayings

It is narrated on the authority of one who said: I heard the messenger of God say: "Actions are judged by motives, so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration was to God and His Messenger, his migration is to God and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated."

Also on the authority of close companion to the messenger who said: While we were one day sitting with the messenger there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of journeying were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the messenger rested his knees against the knees of the messenger and placed his palms over his thighs, and said: "O messenger! Inform me about the way of submission." The messenger replied: "the way of submission is that you should testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except God and that
