  • The author encountered a loud beeping issue while running Stable Diffusion on their computer.
  • Initial troubleshooting suggested potential causes like coil whine, insufficient machine power, overheating, or fan issues.
  • The author's cat, Ollie, identified the actual source of the noise—the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) was being overdrawn.
  • The UPS was rated for 360 watts, while the computer's power supply maxed out at 750 watts, causing the UPS to beep loudly under the load.
  • The solution was upgrading to a higher-capacity UPS, resolving the issue.
  • The story humorously concludes that cats might be better at debugging than humans and AI.
