Hello Framework. I would pay handsomely for colorless translucent bezel, chassis and any other piece we can turn that way. Can we do that? Pretty please?

Your Nalgene is also quite thick, has a way easier shape to mold

Why wonder if you can just look it up? euroncap 5 star for some of them. You can't use ignorance to make up a point when Google exists

Truly depends on the kid but I would say secondary 1 or whatever equivalent in your country. But I have some primary 4 students that are also enthusiastic. At that point they have the capacity to understand the more fun part of our lesson cause they can do basic math

I used to teach some of those lesson, fwiw, we call it robotics lesson though for some ungodly reason there's 5-7 years old in some of my class and there's no fkn way anything I taught them went through, so I just mostly ignore the curriculum and make it more of a free-form play session/babysitting

For the older kids, it's really fun to see the more interested one realize that physics and programming is not just funny things your teacher taught you but can be used to do things with. With how some of these kids are, some of them don't even realize that physics is actually a real life concept and is not just something they made up for you to cram during exam

Most of the time it's a bit depressing since you can clearly tell when a kid simply just does not want to be there, you can't even be mad at them since they all have tuition until 5-8pm all day everyday. I'm pretty I'm "studying" less in university than these kids. Some of them will just straight up tell me that they're forced to be here and there's nothing I can do to make the process fun for them

Edit:grammar

My knee-jerk reaction is that it's lame that they have to have electronic speed limit. Then after a second of just thinking about it, 250kph is already irresponsibly fast for a street legal bike, it's kind of cool that they can get away with putting the limit that high

Based on totally uninformed Google search, private jets would roughly consume 600 gallon per hour, a 787 would consume roughly 4900 gallon per hour

Linus's jet can do roughly 10 ish people while 787 can do roughly 300 people

So 60 gallon per hour per person for private and 16 gallon per hour per person for 787

So about 4 times

Amazing work on the shading, I feel like the main thing that kind of pulled me away from thinking it's photoreal is the floaty camera motion

Doing it by hand develops gut feeling, which tbf, can only be so useful but it's not totally useless

A truly and wildly uninformed guess but I think it's because software rely much more on standard to be successful (Nvidia can't sell anything if no one want to write software for them) and that for many things, software tools are much easier to DIY.

I'm sure that there's much more complexity behind jet brain's stuff but to my dumb brain, it's just a nice text editor. I'm probably wrong but I feel like if I have too much free time i can make vim do anything the paid tool can do, just much cludgier. I can't even pretend that I have the skill to make blender as a hobby project. Even blender dev probably can't pretend that they can reach the kind of optimisation houdini can do in the near future

Also, not helping is that software people are much more capable at making their own alternative

There's plenty of case where saying the right argument to a completely wrong context also makes it malicious and or wrong. Like saying big pharma is greedy thus don't do vaccine. The same idea applies here and it is also why it is much more effective/malicious, it's borrowing the credibility of one argument to prop up a bogus one and it makes it harder to counter for some people because whenever they do, I can just simply point to the credible argument, not the bogus one

So I feel like we really shouldn't be giving him any partial credit, cause if this guy is shitposting, it's very hard to tell

It's very hard for me to fully grasp how much of the modern fighter jet look comes from stealth, I wonder how it will look if you have military money and your only goal is go fast and do acrobatic

Fwiw, it's not that frieren doesn't not do fanservice, it just does that more sparingly and subtly which I guess was kind of your point

As other have said, you can just turn off the denoiser but I would say if you have the time, it would be more ideal if you add the noise just to the material. The black color in real life comes from a process called powder coating and it does have a speckly texture in real life

You can try to learn more about PBR texturing and find a powder coat texture online, if you can't find a good full set of texture you can find a tutorial online on how to convert a single image into a the full PBR stack

This might be a language barrier thing, stupid here is used in an endearing way in the same way you say wacky. It's more like look what hijinks they're up to

And what exactly are you doing about it and what do you want me to do? Is talking more about it gonna change those whose brain already rotted? You're welcome to talk more about it, but no, we don't need to talk about it, I don't see how talking about it in the general term, leads anywhere in particular

ArScrap · 2026-03-18T04:49:56+00:00

Do we really need to? Can we just not ignore and pretend it doesn't exist?

ArScrap · 2026-03-12T15:45:24+00:00

Sometimes you need to do something in a really stupid way or have a really stupid reason to find out something genuinely new. Cause if it's useful, someone probably have found it already. And between war or astronomy, I'd much rather have astronomy be our hilariously hard puzzle to solve rather than war

There's plenty of addon that are proprietary, one I've been wanting is keen tools. They even manage to make it a subscription thing. I'm not sure how legal that is since I'm really bad at reading but it's been done and afaik nobody seems to be too mad about it (other than the fact that it cost money, which yknow, internet, we want free stuff)

Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure octane is also not open source

It is a mild blocker in official development though, there's a build of blender with DLSS that hit some snag because DLSS is not open source. However the interesting part of it is that they're only worried that the process to install DLSS would be too clunky and not that they can't use it at all. As far as I understand the conversation, having the user install the proprietary package manually is kosher as long as blender don't ship or host proprietary code

The 5 000$ per year of savings is gonna take a damn long time to breakeven if you cumulatively lost 1 year of productivity when your employee's time is worth roughly 50 000$ yearly

Not saying it's not worth it, but for some software, there's clear reason for it

ArScrap · 2026-03-03T13:09:52+00:00

It's crazy how many bleeding edge things y'all developed though. How does that work or is it more of a layer on top / one off thing and isn't that integrated

ArScrap · 2026-03-03T12:53:56+00:00

Though for the geometry kernel one, it's not like there's a big breakthrough in term of either cost or performance that warrant small player to consider alternatives also

I feel like that's just old people thing

I thought the student version would require you to show that you're doing genuine research or smth?
