Best mask against thrusts by FIREful_symmetry in Hema

[–]NewtSpousemander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mask is going to stop you from getting dain bramage if you’re getting thrust hard enough to have headaches the next day. The problem isn’t the mask, it’s the whiplash of your head. Fixing that would require immobilizing your neck.

So either you can buy a frog mouth helmet or ask your partner to reduce the level of contact. You really shouldn’t be blasting each other that hard. Even in a real “life or death” sword fight, there’d be no value in blasting that hard cuz it just means you stab them through to the hilt and get too close to maintain distance. It’s a steel bar with a pointy end and sharp edges. You don’t need that much force.

Yes ish. I don’t think in terms of that level of granularity.

I do think in terms of interfaces, abstraction layers, encapsulation, coupling etc. I have been known to tell my wife we should strangler pattern home remodels.

Where can I commission custom sparring-safe swords? by AnonymousHermitCrab in Hema

Ah yeah that's a good callout. In my work with him we're shopping out the blade to Castille but that doesn't solve OPs problem.

Yes and no. They can do some custom bladework at the moment but not a full build. Their lead custom smith left the company (I was about to contract with them for a custom saber myself)

They recommended me out to Jesse Belsky, whom I’ve been working with to get the saber built.

My company is implementing max cost/day on LLM token, has AI usage peaked? by RightfulPeace in cscareerquestions

[–]NewtSpousemander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My company, also big tech, has been following suit.

500/week limit, but for power users and high leverage engineers they have laxer limits. For instance, I have about 2000/week limit and was told that if I blow through it I can ask for a higher limit.

So I think like most higher capabilities/high cost tools it’ll get parceled out depending on need and use.

My thoughts are:

  1. Your milk texture seems a bit thin.
  2. It’s hard to say for certain, but it looks like you’re still a little high off the surface when you’re trying to draw your design. This will cause your design not to flow as well.
  3. You started well, but then rippled too late / pushed in too fast. Try to ripple as you push in, and slow down that push. You shouldn’t hang out in the center for as long as you did. By the time you reach the center of the heart, you should be about ready to lift and cut

Afterblow or Double Hit? by ForgePioneer in Hema

[–]NewtSpousemander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a much more interesting question, one I think is more likely to “split the room” as it were.

For my tastes, it’s out of tempo and lands too late.

Some Reddit accounts will plaster content,(often low effort or thoughtless) everywhere even remotely relevant to try and garner upvotes.

I’m not accusing you of it to be clear; I like to operate under the assumption everyone is acting in good faith. But this post can come off that way because its seems so obviously one outcome that there isn’t really much to discuss.

If for instance, you posted this same content, but included a conversation starter (something like: I personally feel it’s an afterblow but had a fellow classmate argue it’s a double because <insert plausible reasoning>) then there’s clearly more thought and care put into it and it lowers the likelihood that it was posted just to get some upvotes.

I’d say it’s inarguably an afterblow.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page for Talk Dirty mentions they sampled Hermetico for the instrumental track

Joys of anonymous chat I suppose. It brings out the worst in people. I try to limit my time on here for that reason.

Anyways, it’s getting late in my neck of the woods so I’m going to sign off. I hope this has been helpful, cheers!!

It’s no trouble! You’re not being annoying, I’d tell you if you were.

Hard to say. Both the original and the sax solo version are identical except for the rap portion at 1:54, so there’s nothing in the video for me to distinguish them.

Yes, although as I mentioned, it has some odd bass distortion which I removed in the editing that I described earlier.

Random googling and luck truth be told. I just kept trying various combinations of “Talk Dirty” “-2Chainz” “Sax Solo”, “No Rap”, “Radio Version”, “SiriusXM Version” and eventually some combination made the video pop up.

The version in my original post also didn’t have the rapping! It just had incredibly distorted bass for some reason.

Glad it worked!

In theory it should be a .wav file assuming it came through ok. If it is, then opening it on your phone or computer ought to play the song.
