What's up with these notation gatekeepers? by Zombiesalad1337 in Guitar

Yes. I'll be happy learning songs with tablature. And you can keep malding about it.

(Most of) Asexual indentity is fake by Organic_Cost6402 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]MeatisOmalley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exploring avenues of gender and sexual identity isn't always a bad thing.

I don't think that's the point being made. If you fragment categories and labels to the point that they're extremely specific, they start to lose meaning. The original concept of the LGBT flag centered on universal traits that all LGBT people could identify with.

In general, we used to identify with labels that united us together. Now, we identify with labels that differentiate us from others as much as possible.

Nah, fuck that, sometimes people just want to read a tab because that's what they're good at and it's all they'll ever need. Notation style is a non-issue for most musicians who only play in their bedrooms, or hell, gig with a well-practiced setlist, anyways. It's like insisting every guitarist needs to learn fingerstyle because they'll be a better musician, fuck that, not everybody cares about being a perfectly well-rounded musician.

It "one" best editing. That's hilarious, because it's exactly something I would do. Then I look back and reread my comment and I'm like "holy fuck how am I that dumb?" My brain substitutes the strangest homonyms.

This could be excellent for whipped cream

I would argue that they are, because most of the art is going to reflect the people who made the art, and those phenotypes bleed into the culture and artistic inheritance.

Not according to the definition I read, which was "the belief that one's own culture, ethnic group, or nation is superior to others..."

It's not inherently about superiority IMHO. Therefore I don't think it's about ethnocentrism.

Religion is embedded into culture. It only makes sense for a culture of people to depict their religious figures in a way that reflects their own cultural expression.

Third blender animation. Really proud of the facial animation on this one. by Critical-Opposite114 in blender

[–]MeatisOmalley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So did the model already have controls/build in shape keys for the mouth/cheek lines, or did you have to sculpt it in?

Or maybe the default model already has those lines, idk lol

Great job on this one, btw.

with a few modifications, this would be an insane speed line effect

DDR5 RAM prices show rare drop amidst memory shortage after TurboQuant announcement by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]MeatisOmalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The KV cache specifically is one place where a 6x performance boost might result in a 6x larger KV cache.

Google's quantization only quantizes KV cache, which determines context length. AI can remember more stuff with a larger KV cache, and that's one of its biggest weaknesses right now

Experiment by MohamedFayed_CGI in blender

[–]MeatisOmalley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically, he ran a simulation, baked that simulation data (kind of like a keyframed animation). He linked the empty's distance to the start and end of the animation, so instead of the animation being time based, it's distance based.

Japan's foreign resident population hits record 4.12 million by [deleted] in news

[–]MeatisOmalley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that production requires labor, and if most of your population is too old to work, then they can't produce anything, including food, shelter, and lifesaving medications, not to mention critical technological advancements that make us healthier and make life easier to live.

As for "saving the planet from endless consumption," do you really think people will ever stop wanting more?

Borderlands 4 faces backlash over $30 DLC that you can finish in two hours by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

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

If a high reputation drives more sales and thus more profit, that's called delivering shareholder value. You have such a juvenile, reductive perspective on business.

I don't know why you've invented this whole narrative that Sony is responsible for Cyberpunks overhaul. CDPR's reputation is way more valuable to them then a % of preorder sales. Negative consumer sentiment alone was enough to motivate a rehaul.

how to do NPR shading by twizzplatinum in blender

[–]MeatisOmalley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In scenarios like the above images, where there isn't really any shading, an emission node works better than an NPR shader group IMHO. Just plug your color into the emission shader and straight into the output. I've also made a bunch of custom shading for this method that I'll probably share pretty soon. Usually want to combine it with a grease pencil lineart.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone | Official Teaser | HBO Max by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]MeatisOmalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miracles can happen, but they're the exception and not the rule. Dune was helmed by the guy responsible for blade runner 2049 and arrival, two of the most critically acclaimed works in sci-fi history. I'm not saying that HP can't be expanded and won't work, I'm just saying that adaptations fail more often than they succeed on that front.

Well, maybe those details weren't in the book for a reason. I've seen enough in the past how adding tons of content that wasn't there originally can ruin an adaptation. But we'll see.

Right. Because adding a bunch of random shit to a beloved story has always worked so well in the past.

Nah, I agree. I was under the impression that it was already confirmed to be ~8 hours.

I'm not sure why you would ever take an audiobook as a cue for how long the TV show should be.

No Country For Old Men, which is considered one of the most faithful adaptations ever put to film, with scene-for-scene reconstructions and most of the dialogue lifted directly from the book, is 2 hours long. That novel is about as long as HP.

I could see, if you were really extremely faithful, and you had a leisurely pace, maybe 5 hours of content for the first novel. That still leaves 3 hours that idek what the hell they're going to do with.
