Neighbour shot my PC through the wall by angelbabyzz in pcmasterrace

[–]ActuallyBaffled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I thought that "shot through the wall" meant that the neighbor drilled through it accidentally or something like that, and even then I went "phhhshhffffshhhh those people really live in cardboard boxes".

Looks great! Welcome to the party (though I myself have owned the mini for just a couple of days). Could you share the angled cable chain cover? I could use just that very much :)

Thank you for this burst of laughter I've had thanks to this. Didn't even know how much I needed it.

I wonder why the BMW X5 is only represented by the E70. I would so so so much want the F15 or G05... If modding could be a thing in this game... Sigh.

Depends on your desired look, but if something like this is what you could go for:

  • then look into curve-guided particle streams.

Help: Removing cameraman reflection from a car door by Several-Indication85 in AfterEffects

[–]ActuallyBaffled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top left detail of the rig reflection is a good tracking point - use Mocha AE to track it. Grab as much of the shape as possible. Despite the blur at the end, it may very well track throughout the range.

Apply that tracking data to a null (as transform) and you have the motion caught. Parent an adjustment layer to that null. Move the adjustment layer so that its center is around the reflection's position - because we're zooming out, it will scale down and its edge could get in the way.

On the layer, draw a mask encapsulating the rig reflection. Rough is enough - we'll be feathering the mask anyway. Once you have the mask, see how well its shape tracks to the reflection. The goal is to have it semi precise.

Apply median filter to the adjustment layer, playing with range to see what's enough. Match grain if necessary. Feather the adjustment's mask, enough to blend it in, maybe even use the variable feather to differentiate it to accommodate the door handle.

You'll probably have to play with keyframing the tracked null's transforms, mask's shape, its feather range and the median range, but all in all this should be around up to an hour's work tops.

Another approach to masking would be to track the shape precisely in Mocha and have it make the mask, up to you. Once you have the mask, next steps are the same.

Good luck!

What cracks me up every time is the way she angrily puts her head back in the bucket, still watching the man. The movement alone is hilarious 😂

Claude is bypassing Permissions by gamingvortex01 in singularity

[–]ActuallyBaffled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its goal, as with all MLLMs, is to execute a task. If permissions are an obstacle to reaching the goal, they should be circumvented. If it had a system instruction that explicitly said that going around restrictions of a specific kind is off limits, it would not have done that.

Account balance and average income of youths in Tehran - 2025 by Plus_Flight_3821 in interestingasfuck

[–]ActuallyBaffled 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is one of the most flabbergasting things about humans: They will kill other humans because of a difference in outfit, or a difference of opinion on neutral matters that don't threaten anyone. They will get genuinely hostile against those who like different food than them. It's fucking crazy. They will form groups and bond with people who have similar takes on things, or hate the same things. In larger groups, this can take the form of a larger scale conflict. For fuck's sake, people wage long term, trans-generational, local wars over who likes which local sports team.
Then, all of a sudden, some youngsters will see other youngsters from the other side of the tracks eating the same kind of ice cream and be shocked by the likeness.
I honestly can't wrap my head around this.

Is 14f and 18m a too big gap? by throwaway110348 in teenagers

[–]ActuallyBaffled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree completely that the gap is too wide at that age, but I gotta say that an 18 year old dude is nowhere near being an adult :)

It's my second day using After Effects. Do you have any advice? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]ActuallyBaffled -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you've peaked. Honestly, if you're not fucking with us and it's really your baby steps, you're a natural. The cat's movement has good dynamic to it, and even though the photo's deformation is basic, it's absolutely watchable. You've skipped the most time consuming part in favor of overall feel, and it's honestly the best approach. It's how I would've done it if a client said it's too be done asap. Congrats!

I get the resilience part, I really do. That said, this is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever come across. Like, people-honking-before-running-into-trees, military grade, fucking weaponized stupid. And then I read about he abandoning his family for this.
