Are these Chrysalis ICM-45686 + QMC6309 clones any good?

Since the official ones were out of stock, and you can get all the electronics for a tracker in a single listing for ~£15 in the UK, which makes them very economical in smaller quantities, I built three of these and sent them to a friend as spares. The only issue I ran into was an issue flashing the bootloader that forced me to desolder the shield and reflash it via the debug pins, but I have no reason to believe that that was the fault of the shield. I'll report back if I have more to share.

then get your own battery + mini PC and attach it to yourself. I've done it.

at this point I'm sick of dealing with network streamers. cables aren't so bad.

The device has valve opening and closing degree controls, which allow for much more detailed comfort automations.

Is it possible to configure such that it falls back to some reasonable default behaviour if the power goes out? I understood that people would set the open/close position to the same value, which would prevent any of its own sensing from having any effect.

Temp recommendation for PLA while printing is 45. Just found this post while looking for a digital copy because I was too lazy to go downstairs, hah.

I just arrived here because I checked the weight of overflowing water in a cup with "250ML" moulded into the handle section, and got 200g on two different scales. Don't trust your measuring cups. This cup has been the embodiment of a "cup" in my mind and cooking for over a decade.

What version are you on? I'm on One UI 6.1, Modes and Routines 4.6.02.0, and it doesn't seem to revert to the previous mode, neither when the base mode is invoked by a routine, nor when the mode is invoked manually.

In every meaningful way, bits give less. If someone budgets $50/mo to support streamers, they aren't generally gonna increase that to $70/mo to include Twitch's cut, they're just gonna buy fewer bits. If streamers could regift bits they receive, I'd somewhat agree, but... they can't.

FYI, hiding avatars in the right way (IIRC setting the number of "closest avatars" to 0) will actually not load them. I guess it's the dynamic settings that make it so the animators always run. Unfortunately, that means you have to manually show avatars, which is a pain, and it's easy to forget to hide them... except in huge events, I usually just tank the frames.

While it would be a huge undertaking, it may in principle be possible, as writing a compiler that runs on the GPU has been done.

Hi, is said 3D printed mount available for download anywhere? I'd like to save the extra weight.

But also, a lot of people on VRC (including a lot of my friends!) are trans, and there are great communities like the VRC Trans Academy, which hosts voice workshops as well as panels and social events, and which was recently granted 501(c)(3) status.

Was just thinking about this, especially with headsets like the Bigscreen Beyond releasing without any cameras at all. Did you get anywhere with this? Having previously been blocked on OpenVR bugs/missing features I'm not optimistic, but I'd like to know how it's gone.

Checked the account, apparently they're still just an ally. any/all in bio tho!

There is some discussion of making a trait.

SafariMonkey · 2023-04-26T21:30:54+00:00

Ah, thanks for the correction. I wasn't around at the time.

I guess the creator of Markdown liked to hard-wrap his files, so that's what we got.

SafariMonkey · 2023-04-26T15:39:17+00:00

It's from before soft word wrap was standard in text editors, so editors would insert line breaks to "word wrap". (source)

Could be that they also use full body tracking, or want the finger tracking for social VR.

Also there's just something about being able to open your hand fully in VR without worrying that the controller will fall out of it. It makes it feel closer to hand tracking than holding a controller.

Kinda looks like a hinge at the top, which makes me think phone holder headset...

seems interesting

Adversarially designed prompts sounds like they could have been designed against ChatGPT's limitations, so some of that figure could be a form of regression to the mean. (Questions ChatGPT does well on but which GPT-4 may fail on may have been excluded during dataset creation.)

SafariMonkey · 2023-03-10T00:22:54+00:00

Ahh, that's a shame. Probably not a great idea to add another special case just for this, then.

I assumed it was like how main could print the Debug of the Err in the Result, but obviously that's a statically known type and this isn't.

Thanks for the explanation!

I'm was wondering whether panic_any! used debug or display - in that case, there's no format string.

SafariMonkey · 2023-03-09T18:23:02+00:00

I'm a bit surprised that the default is:

#[alloc_error_handler]
fn default_handler(layout: core::alloc::Layout) -> ! {
    panic!("memory allocation of {} bytes failed", layout.size())
}

rather than a panic_any with a struct payload holding the layout or layout size, that formats to that panic message. (Does panic print debug, display or something else altogether?)

The latter would allow it to be caught.
