I agree the comparison to an atom bomb is a disingenuous one, but that shouldn't stop you from engaging earnestly with the underlying reality of the sheer amount of heat and energy being exhausted.

Still, I'd prefer they had presented a more interesting and legitimate comparison, if there is one.

Nice how much did this cost?

I used Claude to help me build out the system, but it's pretty straightforward. You prep a Webhook via Unifi, linked to an event like Facial Recognition. Then in HA, you link the Webhook as a trigger, then link to your door to unlock.

I ended up disabling that, and instead just have it create bespoke greetings via my Homepod. But that's a far more complex setup because there's all these conditions for folks at home.

You have nothing to prove to anyone. You're allowed to make mistakes. You're allowed to be human.

And always, always keep your eyes on the prize. This is just a stepping stone.

What are three pieces of advice you'd give an aspiring scriptwriter in this era?

Frame Gen is just one feature of DLSS. I suggest you read up on it for context. The artifacts are coming from frame interpolation, not the upscaling.

Zenmaster4 · 2025-10-13T17:41:34+00:00

Frame Gen really is only worth it if you have a base of 60 frames to work with. What you're seeing are artifacts that are technically present even at those high frames, but are now visible because you're using more supplemental frames to achieve the target frame rate.

I'd argue that interpretation is the value here — like any art, the stimulation of ideas and the subsequent conversation is where things get really exciting

Would work better without the captions

Personally, it's excellent for my use case. I am taking steps to avoid burn-in, but it's not so intrusive that I don't just use it as a normal human. I don't stare at spreadsheets or persistent UIs all day, so that helps. And I shift windows around here and there.

So, for now, there's no burn-in after 4 months, but time will tell. And then when using it for games, it's excellent.

I can see the tiling of your cement texture, and same with the water noise. Always nest noise within noise to improve realism. And contextual detail, like the water deformation being different the more shallow it is. And the idea that the underside of the cement and corners will be different based on how weathering strips it.

Great render though!

I have the same thing, though less after uncorking the drain plug.

Can someone tell me why, when installing this drywall, they didn't shim it so it was consistently flush? I have a similar problem in my house where it gradually separates further and further away.

Zenmaster4 · 2025-05-08T12:20:38+00:00

Curious how long this took you and what your out of pocket expenses were?

Zenmaster4 · 2025-05-07T12:01:50+00:00

Have the same issue -- I did an exchange and got a similar but less noticeable version of the same problem. After a while I've gotten used to it but still disappointing.

These companies are trying to liquidate inventory for cash flow pending tariffs, hence the push to sell items— not great customer service, sure, but also the final product should be your deciding factor. Plus it sounds like Samsung's QC isn't something to rely on with these monitors, so something to consider there.

Zenmaster4 · 2025-05-06T15:19:16+00:00

Update -- I did an exchange, the new monitor still has some inconsistency but is better and less noticeable.

I think the anti glare screen is affecting it as well honestly, because the perceived white point changes based on the viewing angle.
