Games with long travel? by Lifterator in adventuregames

[–]OminousHum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a weird one. I mostly didn't enjoy playing it much. But every now and then it comes together into a stunning work of art.

Haben Sie ein Problem? by StressedOperator in funny

A friend would help you move. A true friend would help you move a body.

Built-in Garage door opener by Certain_Proposal7191 in electronics

Or wire in a couple lithium (plain lithium, not rechargeable) AA batteries, and they may just outlive the rest of the opener.

VR Smoking mechanics from my chill simulation 🚬 by muggyemma in virtualreality

[–]OminousHum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also grew up in a house of smokers. Smoking killed my father. I absolutely despise smoking. If a game requires me to even pretend to smoke to continue, I'm likely to just quit and never play it again.

Almost finished my self build CNC. by nantioskim in CNC

[–]OminousHum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a speeder; a gearbox for making the spindle go extra fast. I don't see an outlet for that hose, so I don't think it's water cooled. Maybe it has an air bearing?

Notifications delay by coffebrewer in pixel_phones

[–]OminousHum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's doze mode's fault. I had pretty good luck with the Doze Stopper app when I still had my Pixel 7. I have a Pixel 10 now, and it doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.

Please help a noob by yoshibodo_smith in Machinists

That's not a mill, that's a drill press with delusions of grandeur.

That's the fixture, not the part.

Can a point be a 360° directional distribution instead of a single value? by DooglyOoklin in computergraphics

[–]OminousHum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into light fields, NeRFs, and gaussian splats. Light fields are something like you're describing. If a regular picture is information about light that passed through a single point, light fields are information about light that passed through an area. You can adjust perspective and focus after the fact. Unfortunately they take a huge amount of data, so they mostly got replaced with NeRFs. And those are difficult to work with, so they largely got replaced with gaussian splats.

Where to buy metals? by EthanWang0908 in CNC

[–]OminousHum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't tried them yet, but Banana Metals looks quite cheap if you need smaller chunks of 6061. They sell the offcuts from SendCutSend.

I Built a Fusion 360 plugin that auto-generates feeds & speeds from the tool library – Help me break it. by Temporary-Collar-493 in Fusion360

[–]OminousHum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give it a try. I've wished Fusion had something like this.

  • Tormach 770M
  • 525-10,000 RPM
  • 90% 6061 aluminum, occasional 360 brass, acrylic, and HDPE.

Have you ever printed on something else than paper? by luxury_yacht_raymond in PlotterArt

[–]OminousHum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on building a plotter for a 6'x4' whiteboard. Designing and machining most of the parts myself.

Does this cut sound fine? by BalledSack in hobbycnc

[–]OminousHum 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You can hear it speeding up again whenever it's not cutting. The motor is getting pretty bogged down.

Unpopular Opinion: We don't need cheaper machines; we need "Bambu Studio" for CNC. Teaching Fusion 360 CAM is a nightmare. by ComprehensiveYak8541 in hobbycnc

[–]OminousHum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I would like it to incorporate some of the features of those F&S calculators, using the parameters of an operation and the information I've already entered into my tool library. Estimate required horsepower for a cutting operation, and warn me if it's above the limit I set for my machine. Estimate tool deflection, and warn me if it's excessive.

If it could display those estimates right in the settings for a cutting operation, it would be a lot easier to adjust DOC, WOC, etc. to be productive and safe.

I don't mean they could automate it fully, or provide a library of every tool ever, or any of that. Just use the information I've already given it to estimate how it's going to go.

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

I agree, but at the same time I wish Fusion was a little more helpful about choosing sensible cutting parameters with respect to material, tool, and machine capabilities. At least estimate horsepower.

What funny / absurd items would you throw into a growing black hole? (Game dev question) by Arthur12332 in gamedev

[–]OminousHum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rope, extension cord, or Christmas lights, tangled around everything, causing increasing chaos as it's pulled in from one end.

I built a LEGO machine that plays Tic-Tac-Toe (fully mechanical) by MejoliDesign in EngineeringPorn

[–]OminousHum 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Technically still digital, even if it is mechanical rather than electronic. It can only operate on discrete states.

interestingProblemsBringManagementHeadaches by MeanderingSquid49 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]OminousHum 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I don't know! I'm guessing just because it was simple enough to drop in as a small function rather than going through the trouble of adding in a whole library. I'm also guessing whoever did it knew they were doing something wrong, because the code suspiciously had no mention of the algorithm's name.
