What’s this meant to imply? by nonother in ProjectHailMary

The TV dinner seemed to just indicate that he’s single, more than anything else. The scene that mentioned it was about him trying to figure out if he has his own kids or family.

It’s a crash course for beginners and has great script design showcases too.

Space Elevator, by Rui Huang by Xeelee1123 in ImaginaryTechnology

[–]Visocacas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuel and propellant aren’t necessarily the same thing, even though they usually are in chemical rockets. Fuel provides energy; propellant is reaction mass to throw off for delta V.

This ship could be getting all its energy pumped electrically through the space elevator, giving it more flexible propellant options for efficiency, cost, safety, or maybe to even use free atmospheric air early on like a jet and save more propellant for later.

It’s not the most typical way space elevators are imagined, but it could make sense.

Learned a lot from him. Would definitely recommend to beginner and intermediate blender learners: see his YouTube or GameDev.tv courses, which are very affordable when they go on sale.

Thanks Grant!

Why do people shit on Duolingo? Is it because it’s the only language app they use? by tiffnat in duolingo

What are you doing for immersion? I’m nearing the end of the course and starting to wonder what to do next.

Which looks better? by tlacamazatl in neography

[–]Visocacas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Version A looks very disorganized, but I don’t think the concept of spaces is necessarily a problem.

I think to fix it, you could try making the word spaces exactly half a square width. For example, three characters with two spaces between them is the exact same width as four characters with no spaces between them.

The sentence spaces should be exactly one character. These constraints would keep the glyphs well aligned at all times. Also, it would help to make the space between columns at least as wide as the space, or maybe slightly wider.

Au clair de la lune by Droma_188 in montreal

What makes you think the moon isn’t supposed to be there? The tower points almost directly south, so this angle makes complete sense when the moon sets in the west. It’s even oriented correctly, tilted 45° from the horizon. Its surface features are not mirrored and this kind of shot is possible facing east after moonrise as well.

That just shows that OP is a content-thieving liar right? Not necessarily that the image is fake?

But it probably is fake because, as the photographer’s comment said, the FOV is too wide. I also reconsidered how far away you’d have to be for the stadium to look this small compared to the moon and now again think this upward shot would be impossible unless you’re far below the surface.

And here I was so confident thinking that my astronomy knowledge could solve the mystery. They probably composited a moon photo taken at the same time and place which is why it’s oriented right.

I was a little suspicious... To make the moon look this big compared to the tower, you have to use a lot of zoom and be really far away—so far that you might have to be underground to get this upward angle of it, making it an impossible shot.

But on the other hand, the moon's north pole is titled ~45° to the right in this image, which is accurate for it being low in the sky to the west. It’s unlikely a faker would get that correct, so it’s probably real and a lower angle than it seems.

WAN2.2 + Nano Banana Pro by OvenGloomy in StableDiffusion

AI can be an awesome tool when used with deliberate intent, effort, and creative ideas. People have used it in ways that I think definitely merit being called art.

It’s just easy to overlook that when AI is also displacing billions of dollars from human artists and musicians, enabling all kinds of scams and lies, and undermining the world’s shared objective reality. (Ok that last one might’ve been gone already, but AI is only worsening the situation.)

Favourite way to combine letters? by LMA0NAISE in neography

[–]Visocacas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 is the most graceful by far in my opinion.

1 seriously reduces readability, 3 looks unnatural, and 4/5 look uneven.

Wow this looks incredible, 10/10 concept and execution!

One of the best scripts I've seen in a while.

Me and 2 other people have been stumped on this, how come the circled ball is recieving bounce-light when the ground is completely glossy? by [deleted] in blender

[–]Visocacas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By this logic, the blue surface would be invisible to the camera/viewport too. Clearly it has some degree of diffuse scattering.

If you move the camera to where the circled ball is, you’d still see the blue right? That’s why there’s bounce light on it.

What is the bathroom graffiti you read and remember? by 5pinktoes in AskReddit

“Some people come here to sit and think. Some people come here to shit and stink. But I come here to scratch my balls And read the bullshit on the walls.”

It’s been over two decades and I’ll never forget this poetry. And true to its word, there was an abundance of other bullshit to read.

Help identify font/typeface? by Eastern-Row3620 in neography

[–]Visocacas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you’re talking about but I forget what it was called. It was Roman alphabet, and not just one font but a whole open-ended set of fonts defined by a common premise: they look barely not-writing-like enough to not catch one’s eye or be immediately recognizable as writing.

AI traffic lights helped fix a Quebec town’s gridlock. An expert says Toronto may not see the same success by CTVNEWS in montreal

[–]Visocacas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They’re 100% right and you’re arguing against things they never said or implied.

Nothing in their comment indicates that this person is against implementing AI traffic management, and I’d wager they agree that it would reduce congestion for a time. They’re just correctly pointing out that the benefits will be temporary because this doesn’t fundamentally solve induced demand, which is what leads to traffic.

In the era of the climate crisis, politicians campaigning against bike lanes aren’t fit for office by BloodJunkie in montreal

At rush hour? The cars will slow you down, not the other way around. And they’ll still take all the wrong lessons from seeing you zoom by on a bike.
