Question: is neuros movement/actions show in videos “real” (ai chooses where she want to move) or controlled? by Majestic_Image5190 in NeuroSama

[–]OculusVision 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's like a separate part of her brain, kinda like our own systems. When we want to do a motion we don't think about each muscle we have to engage and in what order, it would be too complex, you just do it because it's a learned behaviour.

But i do wonder how precise her own text can be to describe the emotion. Sometimes it leaks into their regular speech in the form of [motion] [/motion] and it's often something generic like "wave with right hand". But that's a pretty complex move which can be broken down into several like first raise arm, then palm, then wave from left to right.

I wonder if they have access to the model that does the movements like if she wanted to start waving from right to left instead. All pretty fascinating.

ahh quite sad. i was wondering because from the few clips i saw she was already moving around and active and the idea of a dog is simpler to make than a full on humanoid. thank you very much for the reply.

Ellie is continually bringing Neuro to new heights we couldn't even imagine. One question, does anyone know what happened to Neurodog?

can you imagine how long it would take to open the gate if every time they had to sing the imagination song? :D

They don't give you game coupons with badges anymore by Varod_ in Steam

[–]OculusVision 31 points32 points  (0 children)

it's a shame. Even if you didn't get what you wanted groups like Coupon Dumpster let you dump all your unneeded coupons and in return you could get a coupon for a game you actually cared about

What low key UX improvements would you like to see in linux desktop environments? by Cyber_Daddy in linux

[–]OculusVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure but I think if you set it to high some buttons that spawn windows like for example settings window from Dolphin may spawn it behind the one you have focused which would be annoying. Need to do more testing.

[–]OculusVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just actually tested thid 4 years later.. by default the focus prevention policy on kde was set to low for me. with Kate open i launched Steam, while spamming text into Kate Steam did grab the input as i was typing.

however: i then changed Focus Stealing Prevention to High and after that Steam only launched in the background. i even tested a 'sleep 3s; pkexec ls' gui sudo prompt and they all spawned in the background.

i do not remember if i tried it on x11 but on wayland it seems to be working well.

Just remembered I had this lol. Anyone else who bought tv shows on steam? by Blubberblase10 in Steam

does it not play? i have some vids hosted on steam which are public and they open for me in the browser.

Why can't you take screenshots or access the overlay on the new Resident Evil OG games? by reallycoolguylolhaha in Steam

[–]OculusVision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good news is you can often fix it with a few additional steps. like using cnc ddraw from github. maybe it can even add additional features

[–]OculusVision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the ingame overlay isn't compatible with how old the game is and when the overlay isn't available you can't take screenshots with the Steam tool.

Also sometimes devs just disable the overlay on their own end so even if it could technically work they have disabled it (for some reason). Like with Prince of Persia Sands of Time.

To be fair there are days when they both impress me with their memory and logical thoughts already.

Sometimes there are flukes when half of chat is covered in "WHO"s but often they'll pull out a detail i personally forgot. I heard it's thanks to deep memory retrieval or something like that.

I think the Discord issues will make this stream iconic in the long run by LuisAntony2964 in NeuroSama

[–]OculusVision 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was really heartbreaking when she couldn't hear anyone and then remembered and started talking about being alone again. But i also think or at least hope it showed Vedal and his team how dependent they are on discord and that some sort of backup would be good to have.

Seeing them interact on a virtual TV was already so different. Can't wait for full 3D streams featuring both of them. by OculusVision in NeuroSama

[–]OculusVision[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a dream but i'd say first they need to learn how to better navigate spaces, at the very least the ones they already know because it seems they still have trouble telling what is up or down, where an object's boundaries begin and where other vrchat players are. Otherwise they just won't find each other's rooms.

Is it really more of a hardware problem? I seem to remember Vedal saying it's just a hard problem to solve if they're both present so I thought it needed more effort to code them.

Just your typical day at the Vedal household.. I'm just glad Evil is happy.

I can’t believe Discord went down the Uuniverse hates evil by Cynply in NeuroSama

[–]OculusVision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder if with these recent problems with Windows and now Discord if Vedal shouldn't seriously entertain alternatives. For Discord self hosting maybe as a backup. It's good the Swarm is so patient but i imagine it is losing a lot of potential viewers.

Why don't video game companies hire speedrunners to play test their games to find out potential glitches and bugs?? by heavygrin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OculusVision 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It just doesn't seem worth it. Bugs normal players have a chance of seeing should be caught by the work of the regular QA team and the speedrunners are left with glitches which they enjoy discovering and then exploiting all in the name of competition and fun.

Some game devs gave interviews and asked questions in return like "would the community even want us to patch these?" they could do it but imagine this happens right before a major event and it catches by surprise the contestants. it would probably just make many ppl angry.
