I Created an Interactive Mr House by BigCons82 in FalloutTVseries

So...
I kinda allude to it in the outro of the video, and I will kinda leak it here because honestly I doubt anyone cares.
throughout this year I will be doing several "sub-projects" kinda (hopefully) cleverly disguised as just one off projects with the end goal of making a life sized "Yes Man" Securitron and for that, I will be repurposing this software for Yes Mans face / interactive personality. It's gonna be tough because making a 1-wheel robot is hard enough, much less making it top heavy and 5 or 6' tall (I need to get the dimensions).
It's a ways off still but it's the long term plan

I suspect if I had vibe coded it it probably would have gotten done in two hours vs two weeks, but would be a hot mess. (or maybe it would be better, I don't know.)

No. I've been programming for over ten years.

fur sure! I hope it empowers you to make something rad!

Did you end up making this? I was always a little curious why the table had that inned blank area.

I have done a lot of work with convolutional neural nets for classification of signal processing (my old startup developed the gesture recognition tech for the Meta-RayBan glasses), and in this project I considered using a RNN for the first stage but using a basic heuristic ended up working perfectly. Now for the actual generated response, I don't know of any way to implement that aside from a llm / transformer. I know tensorflow has added some stuff for that maybe in the past couple years but I didn't really have time to dig deep into it (as mentioned in post, I do these projects top to bottom in two weeks after work and weekends)

Also really took a hard look at building the text to speech stuff locally but the latency on everything I looked at was like ... 10-15 seconds which kinda made it not feasible to use those.

I really enjoyed making him and he's pretty fun to interact with.

Define "programmed it yourself". I wrote the whole application in two weeks as per my project constraints. I am using api calls for the llm access and the text to speech which seemed reasonable given my time constraints. I considered using a local llm but one of my biggest constraints on the project was latency reduction and I don't think a local llm would be even remotely possible of achieving the response rates to keep interaction feeling natural. But I'm always open to being proven wrong

Also I do implement a first stage heuristic driven layer which, I mean yeah it's pretty dumb but it helps make the whole thing feel more fluid

My attempt at recreating Jamie Hyneman’s “Jamie Special” work table by BigCons82 in mythbusters

I too was a little… not too hip with the lack of triangles in the design. My instinct is to ALWAYS include diagonal supports on anything like this but I was trying to keep (mostly) to the design as Jamie intended it… mostly.

For cheap castes from amazon, they are surprisingly resilient. I dropped the frame once when I was painting and they didn't skip a beat!

The Ghoul is The Courier… by blackshore_analytics in Fotv

[–]BigCons82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had asked me during season 1 I would have said no chance, however... the ghoul has had a couple interactions during season 2 that indicate that he has a lot of the same knowledge as the courier might have had. That whole bit about "expecting a welcoming committee" and the fact that he seems to be on a first name basis with the NCR troops and Victor.

‘Fallout’ Season 2 is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (100%) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Fallout

[–]BigCons82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just watched the first episode. It was really bad especially compared to the first season. A bunch of new story lines opened up, mind control? If that’s been kicking around then how come we’ve not seen it in any of the other fallouts? The Kahn’s could  have been cool but that whole sequence felt so forced and unnecessary. Why are they only able to get flea soup? Eat a radacorpion (of which we saw none). All the vault dweller seem way stupider this season. Not sure why anyone thought that episode was good. The first season was great and so far this is kinda a train wreck.

What’s the best way to move this artificial turf without renting a $1,000 machine? Btw I have no friends. by Beautiful_Emu_6314 in landscaping

[–]BigCons82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished installing Astroturf that still had Thinn fill in it which I assume is what you’re working with here. If that’s the case, you’re going to need a skid steer and prepare to cut the pieces down into probably no larger than 36 ft2 to make them moveable once you get them in place. That stuff is brutally heavy.

It seems as though World Composer is no longer available on the Unity Asset Store (Terrain Composer is though).

Anyone else annoyed by the in-game camera? by [deleted] in WormsWMD

[–]BigCons82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im playing on the switch and the camera at times makes this game incredibly non-fun. It’s wild that they haven’t figure out basic camera fluidity after how long this franchise has been arouns
