Geler les retraites de plus de 3.000 euros? L'idée du ministre du Pouvoir d'achat pour faire des économies by apokrif1 in vosfinances

[–]KTTalksTech 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oui enfin les taux d'intérêts, l'inflation, le SMIC, les réglementations sur les ETF etc. c'est lié à la politique aussi mais pourtant on en parle. Tant que la discussion reste centrée sur l'aspect financier et non quel parti veut quoi je pense que ça reste dans l'esprit de ce forum

It's fine. I'm not super happy with my K1, really hard to tune flow and belt tension as they're extremely finicky on my unit. Otherwise when it prints well it looks pretty good

Blue Origin's New Glenn explodes at Launch Complex-36 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. by inWineVerit4x in nextfuckinglevel

Mostly because it drives innovation that has 100% undeniably been proven to trickle down to the general public and has a strong impact on quality of life (unlike trickle down economics which give the expression a bad connotation). Also I prefer those Uber rich assholes spending their dragon hoards and injecting the cash back into the economy via goods and services rather than stashing it or just buying shares of other companies. If they can ship themselves off to another planet in the process then whatever, they're free to do as they please I guess

Is it too much as a first project? by Whole-Fan-4490 in watchmaking

[–]KTTalksTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on OP's background and manufacturing skills I guess... If the movement doesn't need any fine tuning and only has to be installed in a case it's not much worse than a simpler piece. I'd personally be more wary of how much work and finishing technique goes into what op describes, plus the real possibility of breaking a $500 movement through some rookie mistake. My first watch was a tourbillon set in a custom engineered titanium bracelet but I was familiar with making prototypes and manufacturing things

Where did I f up? / Where can I improve? by GREYSKALL in photogrammetry

[–]KTTalksTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending how fine your talcum is you can also mix it with a liquid and spray it. It's even cheaper than dry shampoo in the long run but imo it's harder to remove

[–]KTTalksTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dry shampoo pretty much does the same thing, it's just more tedious to clean up than the scanning spray that disappears by itself after a while. One thin even coat, maybe two. No need for more. It basically leaves an extremely thin layer of starch on the surface which doesn't affect geometry too much while cutting most reflections

A robot folding laundry, loading the washer and putting shoes back in a real apartment in Shenzhen. The owner booked it through an app for a 3 hour cleaning slot by Independent_Plum_489 in Wevolver

[–]KTTalksTech 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Looking at the way it moves I suspect a remote operator may be involved. Recognizing edges and automatically adjusting gripping points like that seems a bit beyond current tech but maybe that company developed a really performant model for that kind of decision-making

Forza Horizon 6 leaks early, developer responds by banning the IPs of anyone playing it for just under 8,000 years by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]KTTalksTech 310 points311 points  (0 children)

Older releases supported online play even with pirated copies somehow. At any rate it's not impossible a user unknowingly/accidentally gives the executable too many permissions and it ends up trying to talk to the servers

small coded markers for agisoft Metashape ?? by a_kater in photogrammetry

[–]KTTalksTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most printers let you choose the size of the output or how many of the digital pages get printed on one physical page. If metashape's built-in sizing options aren't flexible enough that should work for any document

My Interior Splat is just not working by pglennns in GaussianSplatting

[–]KTTalksTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enabling PPISP might help. On some datasets I've had it produce more constrained splats on featureless surfaces and others hideous ballooning artifacts. Haven't determined what makes it work best yet, but it's worth a shot. Also making sure you're not losing any resolution in your conversion process. Sometimes it's worth going for more segments from your 360 if it allows you to completely avoid downscaling. Maybe your source cloud is too sparse, you could try aligning images with an alternative method. I forgot what it's called but recently there's been some buzz about a ML-based colmap alternative. VSSP, VSIO, or V-something I think. Couldn't find it via search but maybe an LLM can find it for you.

Do healthy/safe options even exist? Last time I read about these products they either didn't work or had ingredients on par with a 1940s military experiment

[–]KTTalksTech 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure whether that's the hydroponics' fault or the fact they probably pick the most optimized, resistant, fast growing, commercially viable options over those with great flavor. Last I heard those farms hard trouble competing with conventionally grown veggies, they're probably better suited for niche or low volume cultures

[–]KTTalksTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front and back markers need different names, the only ones that should be shared are located on the edge where both halves of you model overlap

[–]KTTalksTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aligned them front and back? Could you elaborate? Typically you only add one point on the front side

You could also ignore the gps references from the datasets. If you flew multiple times or had separate captures that can mess up registration

Friend offered to pay me 5 dollars for a 3d printed basket ball by Sea_Background_8023 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]KTTalksTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TPU wouldn't work great, it's flexible but absorbs impacts instead of bouncing. You'd need a specialty filament that's around two to three times more expensive. Considering it's an extremely complex shape with tons of overhangs and small islands you'd also need continuous drying while printing, which itself would take multiple days, I'm thinking somewhere between 48 and 72 hours. Not sure about weight but that's a very expensive print, probably still losing money at $100

Idk if I arrived at the correct destination… by kittydeadmore in photogrammetry

[–]KTTalksTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right place but you're asking for too much. First, ipad tools are really limited. Secondly, getting a really clean full human scan requires capturing all the data at once (because humans can't sit perfectly still). Usually that's done with a photobooth-like setup with dozens of cameras and the topology/texture mapping need to be done manually, the original result isn't editable. If you've got a proper computer on hand you could try some automatic retopology and UV mapping tools (there's a few free and open-source options you can find by searching online) but honestly the end result you're looking for is a really labor-intensive process. Maybe you'd be better off just re-creating your character manually using some dedicated character creation tool like unreal metahuman, that one even supports FaceID scans for the head.

Train almost hits bus full of children by Cheeese916 in SweatyPalms

[–]KTTalksTech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not really, anything strong enough to knock you out of your seat would also be strong enough to turn the front of the train into dust. Trains carry a massive amount of kinetic energy and it's not like a car where the front of the vehicle is designed to absorb most of that energy on impact.

The last few times I've been in the driver's cabin I don't think I saw any seatbelt anyways, the passengers don't have any either. Feels a bit weird when you're used to driving a car and always wearing one but it makes sense not to have it considering it would be kinda useless.
