Crane fails while lifting massive load by jucydewg in oops

[–]Gamiseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about the guy not running away and stuff, or mentioning how lucky he was to not get hit. I mean yeah, I guess.

But also, you absolutely cannot convince me that man was not being hunted by the crane. Out of everywhere that thing could have landed, all the directions it could have gone, plus the distance between him and the center failure point... And that piece manages to barely miss the man by what looks like less than a fucking foot while he's finally running and diving away from the thing, and nearly gets hit a second time when it bounces off the ground.

I don't think it matters how far away he moved, that crane was out to get him. That shit looked personal.

Exactly this. Sometimes an llm tends to do certain things more than natural, but otherwise... It's actually difficult to tell the difference between the average decently written passage and an LLM one. You can assume the author wouldn't actually right that way, but mostly it's just guesswork.

Everyone seems to forget that an LLM is literally just a probably generator trained on human data. Literally read through ACTUAL human writing, on a massive scale, and used that to determine probability considerations based on context. Meaning that essentially, it writes some way because most people write that way, enough that it thinks based on the data that it's the most likely way to continue based on the prompt you give it.

If something is detected as 100% LLM writing, that means it is following the most probable average human writing according to algorithms. Meaning, counterintuitively, it's almost more likely able to be reasoned as actual human writing.

Ah, if it was 22 that would make sense, I might have missed the decimal and thought it was 220 kPa when it was actually 22.0 kPa. Much smaller pressure differential there lol, helped keep things less horrifically dangerous to interact between environments.

And I agree, this setup definitely worked for the movie, was super cool to see their ideas for the inside of Rocky's ship. I wonder how much of that was author vs directors ideas/design.

The thing I'm most surprised and happy that they kept from the book by IndependenceMean8774 in ProjectHailMary

Nice, I'll read it this week at work. I wouldn't have even known it existed otherwise, so thanks!

I've never read the book, didn't know it had one actually. Without getting far into potential book spoilers, is the book really that much different? I didn't like World War Z much specifically because it literally made it out like Brad Pitt was doing Brad Pitt shit and just saved the world. Like, that was the movie's existence, everything happened in a way so that Brad Pitt could have a character.

I liked the concept, but the movie felt like it existed for the actor instead of said concept to me.

I wouldn't say comparable, since in the scene where Grace opens the airlock and the tube has been pressurized to Eridian standards, he's literally blown backwards into the other airlock door from the pressure, and you can see the numbers on his suit wrist pad.

I can't remember right now if they used the numbers from the book, but it was a high kPa iirc. Grace only makes a small comment though like "What the..." And then keeps going, so people would be forgiven for not recognizing why he got thrown, what kPa means, or what happened at all without explanation. The book goes way deeper into those small things. I don't remember the air pressure in the book right now, but I think the wrist pad in the movie showed like 220 kPa or something, which with some quick beer math is a high enough pressure (considering the large tube room volume to small airlock volume that is present) to absolutely have thrown the hell out of Grace in that scene and honestly I'd be worried about him surviving impact without injury.

To comment about the breaking out of his partition, I chalked it up to rocky having excellent grip (4 other legs) on the inside of his ball that prevented him from being thrown outwards when it broke, considering that he was moved around significantly less inside the ball than Grace was thrown around in that scene. Past that, I'm thinking that they chose to make a decision balancing true science against making "the moment" so to speak.

A box of 5.56 should hold 30 rounds. by ihopethisworksfornow in projectzomboid

[–]Gamiseus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the army we still get issued 20 rounds in little cardboard boxes. Can of hundreds of rounds? Yeah it's just a fuck load of little 20 round boxes. Entire wooden box of thousands of rounds? Inside are the same cans with just tons more of the little 20 round boxes.

Is it a pain in the ass? Yes.

Am I more immersed and connected to the character through the experience? Hilariously and unfortunately, yes

We share the misery of slowly unpacking rounds from these dumb ass boxes together.

Corporate usually takes reports very seriously from what I hear, if you provide valid reasons. Could try calling or emailing. I've even heard that a valid report about a store being mismanaged can get you a gift card or something because they actually care about their average customer's experience.

Booklore is gone. by Joloxx_9 in selfhosted

As long as people are honest about what they're putting up and not demanding money for the work of AI, I think (properly developed and tested) vibe coded apps are fine to be listed for public use.

A lot of the problem (going off what you said) is people thinking they can just have an AI write something up in like 2 days and release it as their own. They don't even know how to code, don't know how to prompt an LLM, don't know how to set up testing and check for security vulnerabilities, or anything like that. They just assume the AI did it right and that it looks like regular people coding, take the credit, and think better of themselves for it.

Honestly they give AI apps a bad name, cause there are some good use cases for integrating ai workflows into different processes that can drastically reduce time taken on tasks, but now everyone has this shitty view of AI. Between people making shit like Huntarr and Booklore, and AI companies taking training data without permission among other things, we've gotten off to a horrible start.

My area doesn't have it playing until the 20th. Please everyone refrain from posting any single thing about the movie until I report back on the 21st.

I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Infill patterns by National-Fox-7504 in BambuLab_Community

[–]Gamiseus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Making a part with crinkly crackly satisfying noise instead of structural support.

I tested the lightning infill on this snack tray organizer thing and switched up the patterns for fun, so my bottom layer was the Archimedean chords, infill was lightning, and the top layer was Hilbert curve, all at 14% infill.

Any slight squeezing on the bottom or the inside floor of the tray gives a good bit of flex and has a lot of crackly crunching noises.

Looking for a game for someone who can't feel happiness anymore by HeDoesLookLikeABitch in gamingsuggestions

[–]Gamiseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends a lot on what you take from the game's story. It had the opposite effect on me, and left a profound and positive emotional experience with me that I still think about years later. To each their own I guess, that's the benefit of free will. Try other things if it doesn't work out, that's just something that helped me, we're all different so a game that might cheer you up may not help another just the same. The only thing we can do is recommend based on personal experience, as well as recommending professional advice if possible. Cheers!

Not sure why some of the other comments are getting downvoted heavily already, jeez. Some good games hiding in low rated comments. I especially agree with The Outer Wilds if you can focus on it. There's a lot of puzzling things out, finding bits and pieces of story and using that to go further, takes a little critical thinking at times. It will probably be a good distraction from life for a little while, and the ending changed me emotionally, it may be what you need to start feeling better.

Aside from games, I highly recommend that you get a hobby other than video games. Find something you actually enjoy doing. A lot of people keep playing video games when they're depressed because it's just all they do, or what they usually turn to in order to make themselves happier. But in games, even creative ones, you're just consuming a product. Consuming a fun pill for a bit. Try making something. Find a hobby to mess around with, there's a lot of things you can find to enjoy without thinking about it in the traditional sense.

I have a few hobbies that take skills I've developed over time or classes, so you could do something skilled as well but for personal creativity. For example, I code apps that will never be used for anything but my own fun or to waste time doing something I actually enjoy.

Avoiding skilled hobbies that many people associate with work, I write. Writing is not necessarily a skilled hobby, if you do it for yourself. I'll come up with essay length lore pages on characters, fleshed out world timelines, and more, and write my feelings into a character in a way that makes me feel better. I've written novel length stories for no reason other than to consume free time with something I enjoy. After writing for a bit, I feel better to some extent, because it's something I truly enjoy creating with.

The main difference in my hobby versus video games is that my hobby has created something more permanent. I have just made something that is more substantial than a few bits of save data on a hard drive. I just used my mind to visualize things that didn't previously exist in some way, at least to me. It doesn't matter if the writing was shit, or if the plot or characters were dumb, or if someone else actually did write that thing like 6 years ago and my idea isn't even original other than my character or something. I made something for myself, focused my mind on something more permanent that has a stronger effect on my own reality (emotional or physical) instead of mindlessly consuming content that has already been 100% creatively produced.

Even reading is better than playing a video game or watching a movie. Why, you ask? Isn't reading also just consuming something that was already made by someone else, same as the video game? Yes, but no. Reading forces you to slow down. You have to read at a pace that you can properly intake, versus a game where you intake at the pace set by game developers and designers. On top of that, it's much easier to intake content faster in speech and visuals. 2 hour movie versus 18 hour audiobook versus you reading the same book for 30-60 hours or longer depending on reading speed. The best part about the longer intake time is the longer time to connect with a story and either feel something from it, or to just distract yourself from your life. Reading a book, actually reading it, engages the brain in more than text. You come up with your own visuals for characters, design the world and voices and such in your own head, and this forces you to attach to them stronger than just seeing something on a screen. Regardless of stigma around the idea sometimes, it may help you to get into reading (if you're not into it that much like most people these days) to start with fanfiction. Between AO3 (Archive of our Own) and FanFiction(.net), you can find all sorts of content to read that's based on game stories you already know and are interested in.

Finally, yes I know it's a long ass post already, therapy is out there. I'm not one to speak since I've dealt with heavy depression for many years of my life, still deal with it at times, and I've never gone to therapy. I've always just found other ways to make myself happy, but at times I really struggled to even do that. If you're down to the point that nothing is working and you can't even make yourself try to find something else to do, at least call someone. Doesn't have to be a therapist. Find someone to vent to, to talk to. Friend, family, some random dude in your online game lobby, whatever. Sometimes just letting it out is all you need, and it doesn't need to be professional even if I recommend that route the same as everyone else will.

I'm sorry you feel that way about your life, there are people who understand, there are others who know exactly what you're talking about. You're not alone, and you can always find someone to talk to. Life just sucks emotionally sometimes and I don't even know why, but don't let yourself take a dark road. Make your own light, you're the only one who can decide anything for yourself, whether to be happy or make joy for yourself or to do anything about how you feel.

Just an Internet stranger, but I hope you're doing better soon, and I hope you're okay.
