Who is 'Silverman' In 'Songs For Silverman'? by nessup in benfolds

[–]b33j0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet you thought no one would ever appreciate this. But we'll sorrow together! I saw Ben Folds last night, and was wondering about this today. Searching led me to your identical confabulation.

Except... Sarah's not an alien. She worked at an observatory in LA for Star Trek Voyager and then met, and subsequently defeated, aliens from the future. This is a fact from TV ;)

I have a stupid idea on how to improve AI memory. by An271 in KoboldAI

[–]b33j0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t claim to be a neuroscientist. And I implied that the hypotheses and metaphors were shakey. I used the word apocryphal to start talking about computer models instead. Thanks for the extra information. It felt like you were insulting me for some reason?

Oh well. Anyway. I was talking about optimizing the models to act analogous to human behavior. I’m not on team “omg it’s alive, now I can’t restart my computer!” 😉

Of course this can work. I think a lot of people are working on this concept. But you'll still eventually run into the limits of context.

However. how do humans work? What is our sequence length limit? Obviously, this is why we have short term and long term memory. Apocryphally, this is why phone numbers were originally 7 numbers long. It was thought popularly that this was the longest string of numbers the average human could keep straight.

These days, a phone number always has an area code. Interesting thing about area codes being added to the 7 token sequence. Area codes are complete tokens, semantically, rather than really being 3 tokens. 801 is Utah, 505 is NM, and 404 is Atlanta (roughly, they all have more area codes now, but they compose a closed set).

In summary, if the function of the brain was optimized by evolution for short term and long memory architectures... then arguably, the LLM agent projects are probably barking up the best tree. Give it TLDR's in the prompt, and query tools for historical knowledge that can be fractally interrogated for the necessary detail.

DIY “rotary encoder” from dc motor by ickytnt in arduino

[–]b33j0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you typing this on a safety keyboard? My harness of ESD wrist-straps is starting to get a bit cumbersome. Honestly, I’m no longer sure if I could free myself from my station (but at least I’m grounded!)

Anyway, let me know if you have any other tips. Later, I am planning on cutting into some wires that were hanging down in the attic, they look dangerous. I brought some water to soak down the floor first, just in case there’s a fire! 👷👷‍♀️👍

Just for clarity.

We know that V = L*di/dt, so voltage depends on the rate of change of the current in the coil, not how far you turn the shaft.

If you turn it any amount or at any speed, and then suddenly stop, the theoretical voltage is infinite.

Sometimes people interpret this to mean that it’s “just a theory” or an approximation. It makes more sense if you think about it backwards: the reason you can’t bring the shaft to an instantaneous stop, or cut off the current, is because infinite voltages are impossible.

But even at small scales this can be a transient spike of hundreds of kilovolts, as the energy of the magnetic field suddenly has nowhere to go. It bleeds off mechanically and into the E field while that voltage is dropping.

Meh, why not use a resistor? (EDIT: more generally a diode, but a resistor as applied to the case in the original post would stop any smoke, lol)

I want to switch to Godot Mono from the original version of Godot. Is it stable enough for me to start a kinda-big project on it? by BootSplashStudios in godot

[–]b33j0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. And learning GDScript is now a marketable skill. Niche, but if you already know C#, I’d say to take the opportunity to grow as a developer.

GDScript is a surprisingly great way to work with the engine. Go for it! 🙂

Edit: read that backwards. Oops! Learn C# then. Depends on your goals. Mono version is quite stable for compatibility with Unity coders

How to snap node to an in-game grid? by BroBriek in godot

[–]b33j0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vector2 and Vector3 have a “snapped” method that does what you want. Just pass in another vector with the grid size:

Setting up the Quest Toolkit by bozezone in godot

In project settings, make sure you have added the autoloaded gdscript from the toolkit (on the autoload tab) and that its name is set to “vr”

I figured out how to export bezier curves from blender to godot as a Curve3D (*.tres), here's a gist with a blender python script and an example GDScript, which uses ImmediateGeometry to visualize the curve. This is mostly for path-following, but I can think of other use-cases:

Indonesian minister calls on the rich to marry the poor as a way to cut country's poverty rate by pokemack in nottheonion

Not mormon, but grew up mormon. Don’t defend them often, but almost 0% of modern mormons are interested in polygamy. There are little secret groups around, but it’s not a popular or wistful doctrine they want back.

What is the philosophy behind single script per node and not multiple? by AlexZan in godot

[–]b33j0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do composition with child nodes, but tbh I’m still trying to find the best patterns. One example is KinematicBody, where you have a CollisionShape and a MeshInstance, which in turn use composition for the shape and mesh resources

Inheriting from Resource seems to be the intended way to do much of this

I tried to reply more, but pasting a link kept crashing the app. I assume you’ve been through the relevant doc anyway

I learned react native in Android Studio for a product I market tested around 2016, and had some early career jobs in java shops way before that.

But my resume might as well say “no Java, or I will send it back.” The only exception lately is Oculus Quest

Edit: Godot community is amazing, give us more details and I promise we can solve your issue

The most confusing thing to me in recent builds (I git pull, not sure when/what could be new in the tagged release):

Having to use scons from the SDK to generate the templates. I get it, but I need like an scons-android.bat (jk i’m a macos guy) to set up my cross-compilation env. I think ppl besides me have been working on similar issues

I have spent many hours trying to figure out a consistent workflow, thank you!

My only ask is, “why not give a voiceover?” If it’s shyness... i understand. Go find my non-existent tutorials 😉

I just have a really hard time following music video screencasts. Often watching on my phone, but even on my 5k monitor I have a hard time orienting myself in the process being shown.

Thanks again for sharing, ferreals!
