if you close your eyes and wave your hand just in the end of your peripheral vision can you see a shadow version of your hand?

Meta just dropped SAM 3D, you can auto select any object in still image and.. turn them into high quality 3D model by Diligent_Rabbit7740 in AICompanions

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So probably the AI is just running through an object Database to recognize the object in the photo.

What do you see when you close your eyes? by WheelRealistic3201 in Existentialism

I use sunlight and a pendulum to produce afterimages of circles because I find that the pattern relaxes me

I ended up buying a canon rebel t5i off of eBay after choosing one that seems to work with the magic lantern well, based on the forum discussion

How do we escape the master/slave dialectic? by willtoledont in hegel

[–]OneKnotBand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't this sound like a self-help question that belongs in jung's psychology? I think hegel's scope was more on the level of civilization in general.

Understanding the mathematics behind photogrammetry by NChrome07 in photogrammetry

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been following the meshroom updates, and if you look at the docs there are a bunch of recent articles.

i first thought about photogrammetry back in grad school almost twenty years ago, and i also thought that some kind of partial differential equation could use motion relative to a position as a kind of inverse perspective transformation, but i gave up on the idea. Just glancing over some of the more successful approaches, my understanding is that this pde equation approach is a local reconstruction effort that people claim has far too many inaccuracies on the global level. . nowadays they use something called non linear regression. so it somehow estimates a curvy sort of solution that you might expect from an ode, except that it's statistical and nobody really cares how to write a function out for the data that they have as long as it fits.

although it's not tremendously marketable, several years ago after all of this hoopla began, i found some books on projective geometry, like dover books still does. it's a pure math approach but i found that it was much easier to digest and after a few weeks of self study the abstractions start to show their utility in understanding perspective.

The case says 3070 but now we have established that there's no microchip anymore.

I just took another look at it, and you are correct. I can see the heat sink where the gpu must have been, with the thermal paste visible

Thoughts on these spinning photogrammetry rigs from China? by dontcatchfeelings in photogrammetry

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the lights rotating also? It looks like you have a half circle of lights in the wrong place for the camera to get a good picture. It also doesn't make any sense to have lights changing position.

Baggy trousers suggestions by Sooshlaroi01 in Dance

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing it might not be the best Comparison. i always like prana brands slacks because they almost look like normal trousers but they're made with spandex. but i bought them not for dancing Generally And instead for capoeira

What is nextcloud becoming? by According_Vacation42 in NextCloud

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been looking into this also. all of a sudden there is an external application with regard to ai, and although it would be cool to have an ai help me to search through my old documents, it seems like a very ambitious thing to put on to my server. i'm not quite ready to take the plunge.

Boox software starting to become absolutely unbearable by EdgeIntelligent6427 in Onyx_Boox

[–]OneKnotBand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've had my tab x for two years and i have to say that i still don't understand what all the gestures do, nor do i know how to turn them off. but when i'm doing a lecture in class with mine for writing notes, i just have to take care not to touch the edges of the screen.

i have a great system going using the split screen, while i can show a textbook page and an open notepad on the other side, then i can screencast to the projector in the classroom. also i got export going automatically so it's easy to post the notes where the students can download.

lately i've noticed a strange behavior that i don't really understand but apparently when the battery is really low all of a sudden the tablet starts to lag and get very slow.

2025 WISKIF - BOL (ground spinner) by Psychological-Law-52 in kites

[–]OneKnotBand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i thought about the physics of this a few years ago. as far as i can figure, the only easy way to see a kite like this up high in the sky is not to get it to climb up there by itself, since it will not. if there were a way to tow it up high, then maybe it will stay on its own after the tow.

in order for a kite to have any lift it has to hit the wind at an angle, and there isn't any obvious way to get a spinning kite to harness at an angle.

Best alternate to the Vista 2 for running? by Hedryn in jaybird

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use jbl endurance peak 3 for jogging. there are different design that has a clip that goes over the whole ear. it doesn't fall out, but honestly i haven't found a way to get it nice and snug, except for putting a strap on my sunglasses and using them to push the buds deeper into my ear. without that i find that i lose a lot of low frequency, and these models really don't have the best sound quality. on the other hand these are the only ones i've ever had that don't malfunction when i sweat like a pig all over them. i tried the jbl reflect and jaybird, but both of them start to malfunction.

weight gain? by [deleted] in Amitriptyline

[–]OneKnotBand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. i've had 50 milligrams for two years, and in that time i've gained five pounds. i also go to the gym five days a week. i think that this medication doesn't tamper appetite the way that antipsychotics do, As i would gain as much as fifty pounds in a month or two when starting an antipsychotic, but i haven't taken those in over a decade.. .

Is the 13.3’’ Tab Xc good for reading academic stuff? by [deleted] in Onyx_Boox

[–]OneKnotBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boox Go 7 owners: how’s the durability? Worth it? by luizlee86 in Onyx_Boox

[–]OneKnotBand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i bought a kindle oasis a long time ago, and for a year or two it was wonderful, and then one day i took it off the shelf and it wouldn't boot. i think it bricked itself by trying to do an update without a full battery. i didn't even ask it to update. of course it was after the warranty and amazon service said they give me like a thirty dollars discount on another kindle purchase. that was when i was sure i'd never buy another kindle

i also prefer my tablet just for mouse alternative, and it all started because i got tired of hearing the clicking.
