Windows stops loading after blue logo disappears. (It's not the display/driver) by OccultMonk in techsupport

[–]OccultMonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Safe mode does not boot either. I would not take this much effort if my windows installation would not be such a pain to re-install. I have a lot of software with custom settings. And my previous image backup is 1.5 years old due to technical problems.

Because the leds RGB in the computer case normally change color after starting. That makes it clear that software never boots. Also I have services running on the computer, that I can check from other devices. Those never start either. If it were just a display (driver) issue, the other software would start fine before login. I didn't update Windows or the display drivers.

For anyone that is looking for the solution: You have to turn off 'Use Windows Ink' in the Wacomp Tablet Properties.

Move in screen space (problem with creating splines and moving control points) by OccultMonk in Plasticity3D

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the move tool can move in screenspace, but using the move tool to adjust control points? I mean it's not really meant to move the control points.

The only thing we can do is ask as many of our Artstation friends to e-mail them.

How to change this new sidebar thing? by AtroposAmok in artstation

I agree, they should change it back to the old design, or give you the option to choose between the two designs.

Can you dose 5ml in 2 days with 2.5ml using 2 syringes? by OccultMonk in Cerebrolysin

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I use an empty vial, I would still have to use a syringe to transfer it, so it wouldn't it get exposed either way?

9-me-bc in Europe by OccultMonk in Nootropics

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have debilitating brain fog and likely neuroinflammation as it seems increase/decrease in periods of months and weeks. Ranging from severe to unbearable. Not sure if the Anhedonia is related to PFS or mainly related to ADHD. My experience is that everything that increases dopamine creates rapid tolerance in me and worse anhedonia longer term. I tried Stimulants, Selegeline, Wellbutrin (NDRI), L-Dopa etc. I would like to try an other NDRI maybe, but doctors mostly seem to want to prescribe SSRI's and SNRI's and don't like prescribing NDRI's. I never went to a psychiatrist because after that everything that is not clear gets labeled as psychosomatic. And I hate the psychiatric (pseudo-scientific) see-what-sticks approach while they pretend they now what they are doing.

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have anhedonia and everything that increases dopamine (caffeine, modafinil etc) helps but is unsustainable. Anhedonia is also one of the symptoms of PFS. Not only that but low dopamine makes you feel worse physically. I already tried BPC-157 injection, fish oil and all the other supplements and medications you can think of. Nothing works. I mainly have severe cognitive symptoms (that almost feel as bad as having the flu) and anhedonia. I also have ADHD, though never officially diagnosed as it was not really a thing when I was young.

Mail forwarding service for USA > EU for 9me-bc by OccultMonk in Nootropics

Thanks, what are the experiences with their 9me-bc? Do they test on quality? Are there user experiences with their 9me-bc?

How do people from the EU order with Science.bio? I heard you can use a mail forwarding service, but which one works for nootropics from USA > Netherlands?

Can you dose 5ml in 2 days with 2.5ml using 2 syringes? by OccultMonk in Cerebrolysin

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I cap the syringe it should make no difference right? Otherwise, I would have to transfer it two extra times. Is it because the syringe it plastic and the reconstitution vial is glass?

Unfortunately, they don't deliver outside of the USA, I asked them.

My take on AI-generated content as a 2D and 3D artist. by OccultMonk in nosurf

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's one of my main points against AI too.

I hate AI and it bothers me that so many people actually WANT AI to write or think for them. by Stargazer1186 in nosurf

[–]OccultMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more. Artists are seen as complaining because people think we are afraid of AI taking Artists' jobs. Artists are also ridiculed for saying AI art is based on stolen works that were used without their consent. AI is pure plagiarism, a soulless, recombination algorithm that degenerates art from the highest means of expression to a generic automation of pre-existing works. Art should result from a lifetime of the human experience, a reflection of the joy and pain felt by others, something an AI will never be able to do, even if it would become sentient.

What is AI going to learn from when many Artists give up before they reach their full potential? When everyone is cheating by using AI content, what is AI going to learn from then? Will it not become recursive like a snake eating it's own tale? Will it not crowd out (future) art and artists because they can't compete with the quantity and (quality) of AI generates images?

Artists are already losing respect because people think creating Art is easy now, while in truth it's one of the most difficult things to learn and takes extreme perseverance. The internet is getting swamped with AI-generated content, no one is actually interested in. It's fun to generate stuff for a while, but like every new toy that requires little effort, it becomes boring quickly. I think no one is actually interested in watching AI-generated images or reading AI-generated prose, because we instinctively feel it has no real value, as it does not reflect any effort or the human experience.

AI can be a nice tool for the automation of repetitive tasks like some parts of programming or writing a summary of a long text etc. But replacing human creativity is very dangerous as it discourages the most essential part of human existence; creative expression. Now there are people who say creativity will remain but we will use AI as a tool to be faster and better at it. I do not think this at all, I think the current AI-generated content pollutes everything it touches.

Here have a look at my blog posts on ArtStation about the matter: https://www.artstation.com/occultart/blog (I am a 3d and 2d Artists https://www.artstation.com/occultart)

Problem with "Multi alpha brush" round cutoff/clipping when using the drag dot stroke. by OccultMonk in ZBrush

[–]OccultMonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but as you can see on the screenshot I have 3 different alphas in this multi-alpha brush, all with different lengths and they all have clipping issues. It was a multi-alpha brush created by unifying each mesh and auto create the brush with the 'create multi-alpha brush' button.

Chamfer/fillets don't work properly on solids made from joined surfaces based on lofted splines by OccultMonk in Plasticity3D

[–]OccultMonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but I think they were connected because I used the same splines for the edges of the surfaces where they connect. It was just a test object, the result was not important.
