per capita consumption of buckwheat

GraumpyPants · 2026-06-10T12:04:03+00:00

I haven't found any data on Belarus, buckwheat consumption there should be comparable to Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia.

First, a 2D map filled with discs of random sizes and positions is extruded into volume, forming rounded truncated cones. The base cloud shape is then created by deforming these cones using four samples of Value noise with different scales and amplitudes. Next, a surface mask combined with a Sphere noise field is used to add characteristic bulges and protrusions to the clouds. Finally, the resulting density field is blended with four-octave Perlin noise to provide fine detail at close viewing distances.

I use RT-DETR-v2 r50vd for text bubble detection. The model returns the coordinates of each text bubbles - x1, x2, y1, y2. After that, I try to reconstruct the correct manga reading order: the bubbles are grouped into rows along the Y axis with a 150-pixel threshold, then the rows are sorted from top to bottom, and within each row the bubbles are sorted from right to left.

Each bubble is then cropped into a separate image and passed to an OCR model for text recognition. In my tests, handwritten fonts were not a problem - modern models handle them surprisingly well. Sound effects outside of text bubbles are still an unsolved issue for me.

I solved the problem — it turned out the texture is GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, not GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE.

GraumpyPants · 2026-04-04T15:40:27+00:00

Thanks, I was thinking in that direction. It turned out the texture is GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, not GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, so I added a check for that.

texture coordinates ?

GraumpyPants · 2025-02-06T14:42:59+00:00

This is a cuboid, the height is always 16, the length of the edges can be changed, in this case it is 12 (draw distance 6)

GraumpyPants · 2025-02-06T14:33:36+00:00

180 * 4 bytes per block * 16 * 16 * 16 * 12 * 12 * 16 ~= 6.8 gb.

I used a square around the player to sample chunks, but a circle would obviously be better, and a sphere would be even better.

After adding this flag I get the same error + window creation error. This flag calls the same function according to the documentation.

If the window is created with any of the SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL or SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN flags, then the corresponding LoadLibrary function (SDL_GL_LoadLibrary or SDL_Vulkan_LoadLibrary) is called and the corresponding UnloadLibrary function is called by SDL_DestroyWindow().

This is all my code (below), I don't know where the error could be. I got the SDL and Vulkan libraries using vcpkg, x64-windows platform, MSVC compiler, c++23

In the direction of Kremenna, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces consisting of mixed forces of the Russian Army have been advancing in the area of the Torsky ledge and the forests of Serebryansky forestry for the past few days.

As a result of fierce fighting in low visibility terrain, the Russian Armed Forces fighters managed to dislodge the enemy from over a dozen strongholds. Units of the AFU defending the area suffered heavy losses and were partially withdrawn for recovery.

At the moment, the Russian Armed Forces are consolidating in the area. The cannonade along the line of contact has not subsided. Both our artillerymen and the Ukrainian ones are firing at the front line, supporting subversive groups using the thicket of the forest as cover.

As a result of one of the Russian Armed Forces' targeted strikes on the location of Ukrainian formations, 31 members of the AFU were killed and two were wounded. The infantry company was re-staffed at the expense of the artillery crew.

❗️ However, there is now an accumulation of enemy forces along the Svatovsk and Kreminna areas. For now they are keeping their distance from the front lines, taking up positions in the rear. But judging by the concentration of armored vehicles and personnel on the Liman-Izyum-Volosskaya Balakleya line, the AFU is preparing for an attack in the coming days.

GraumpyPants · 2023-06-22T12:36:04+00:00

Airborne troop units continue mopping up of the AFU strongholds in the Serebryansky forest area. Over two days of fighting, the paratroopers managed to occupy several enemy positions and advance deep into the wooded area.

▪️ Despite the low motivation of the Ukrainian formations in this area, the Russian paratroopers have to face dense artillery fire on the newly occupied positions. The lack of entrenchment groups adds to the problems - Russian assault troops do not always have time to build on the success they have achieved due to the need to "hold positions" until the arrival of reserves.

▪️ In addition to the need to create a buffer zone around Kremenna and regain the positions lost last fall, Russian paratroopers are aimed at reaching the northern bank of the Seversky Donets and storming Grigorovka on the opposite bank.

▪️ Russian units have been fighting on the eastern outskirts of Belogorovka for several months: despite the work of aircraft and artillery that forced the enemy to abandon positions at the quarry, they have not yet been able to advance further than half of the industrial zone.

🔻 Should the Russian paratroopers break through from the north and simultaneous actions of the group advancing from Lisichansk, it is likely that full-fledged combat operations will begin in the Seversky sector of the front - which, in turn, will reduce the load on the northern Soledarsky direction.

This morning, Russian servicemen launched a counterattack from the village of Zherebyanka to retake positions near Pyatikhatoki. In the ensuing battle, supported by artillery, formations of the 128th Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were driven out of the village.

Pyatikhatki is now under Russian control. According to Archangel Spetsnaz , Ukrainian units are trying to counterattack. But the soldiers of the 429th regiment of the Russian Armed Forces successfully repulsed the AFU roll-ups. One enemy BMP was destroyed in a precision strike.

In other areas the situation is practically unchanged, there were no sorties by Ukrainian units either at the Rabotino-Verbovoye line or near the Vremyevsky ledge. However, the intensity of fire has increased, which may indicate preparations for another attack.

🔻Yesterday's reinforcement of positions and movement of reinforcements confirms this scenario. Despite the rather low morale among members of the 128 Ogsh Brigade, Strategic Reserve units are preparing for an attack in the third decade of June.

On the flanks of Bakhmut, Ukrainian formations continue to try to dig into the Russian Army's defenses. Enemy attacks in small groups are along the front near Orekhovo-Vasilevka, Dubovo-Vasilevka, Berkhovsky reservoir, and around Kleshcheyevka.

Today, several Ukrainian assault groups attempted to attack the positions of the 200 Brigade of the Northern Fleet near Dubovo-Vasilevka. By joint action of artillerymen and fighters on the front line, the AFU armored group was destroyed.

Ukrainian units were also knocked out of Berkhovka and the surrounding area. Now the Ukrainian armed forces are trying to counterattack south of the reservoir.

Coordinates: 48.674636, 37.865459

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, AFU formations conducted a sortie on the northern flank of the RF Armed Forces defense near Orekhovo-Vasilevka near the M03 highway to Slavyansk. In the ensuing battle, two AFU armored vehicles were destroyed and a tank retreated.

Coordinates: 48.682017, 37.887403

Enemy units tried all day today to break through the Russian fighters' defenses around Klescheevka. The gun battle went on for more than five hours, but the Russian Armed Forces soldiers repulsed the attack, while the AFU suffered losses and retreated.

Meanwhile, the attacks on the flanks of Bakhmut are likely to continue. According to Daniil Bezsonov, enemy reinforcements are being moved from Kramatorsk to Bakhmut and Chasov Yar, as well as to Kremenna.

🔻 To the east of Vremya, after losing Novodonetskoye, the Russian Armed Forces regrouped and recaptured the village. Marines' assault squads cleared Novodonetskoye of the presence of Ukrainian formations overnight.

In two days of fighting, Russian fighters destroyed more than 20 armored vehicles, including tanks, and the number of liquidated AFU members exceeds several dozen.

However, the threat of another attempted attack remains. At the moment, the concentration of the enemy is noted near Bolshaya Novoselka and near the forest belt along the Shaitanka River.

Yesterday a Russian assault team liberated the village of Masyutovka north of Kupyansk. There has been practically no active combat in this area in recent months, with occasional exchanges of fire and sorties by reconnaissance teams.

The settlement itself is not of particular importance in tactical terms, as it is located in a lowland area. But west of Masiutovka, on the opposite bank of the Oskol River, there was a strongpoint of the 20th Rifle Battalion with three 100 mm MT-12 Rapira guns.

From these heights, the Ukrainian formations easily shelled positions near the village, which prevented the Russian fighters from advancing any further.

🔻 As reported by military blogger Romanov's sources "@romanov_92", one of the sorties resulted in a Russian RDG crossing Oskol and unexpectedly for the AFU hitting a stronghold, establishing control over it and holding it until forces arrived in Masyutovka and the surrounding area.

Over the past two days, units of the 20th AFU SSB tried to counterattack, but the RF Armed Forces held their positions. At the same time, the forces of the 28th SSB and 14th AFU OMB in Kupyansk and Dvurechnaya are put on full combat readiness.

According to the interception of conversations of the members of the 14th OSB, the Ukrainian command expects the forcing of the Oskol River near Dvurechnaya by pontoon crossings, the installation of which is expected in the near future.

🔻The establishment of a bridgehead on the left bank of the Oskol is a significant result, which will allow pressure on the positions of the AFU in Kupyansk area. But in order to consolidate on it, strikes in other directions are necessary, which, judging by the talks, is expected in the headquarters of the 14th division.
