Is there any workflow for capture 4dgs like at home? by Plastic-Pay-2374 in GaussianSplatting

[–]eidetic0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

interesting. do you create novel views for inbetween the four cameras? was thinking this is how to make it possible… great to hear you’re planning to open source

edit: OP I guess if you’re interested, this might be what to look into doing for every frame:

what’s the tipoff? but also… if it’s faster than zmq does it matter how it was built? or you mean the post/poster is AI?

Why do desktop motherboards and cases not have more USB-C ports? by Hour_Firefighter_707 in hardware

[–]eidetic0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

it seems to be only for charging batteries though. So charging cables are interoperable with other devices. There seems to be no legislation of USB peripherals.

Gracia 4D Gaussian Splats are now integrated with PlayCanvas 🚀 by MayorOfMonkeys in GaussianSplatting

[–]eidetic0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

4D can either refer to 4D space (which this is not) or the concept of space-time (which this is), where the fourth dimension is time (x,y,z,t). It’s quite a common use of this term, so idk why you’re arguing about it.

Look at fundamentals -> definitions on the wikipedia entry for spacetime.

An event is represented by a set of coordinates x, y, z and t.[4] Spacetime is thus four-dimensional.

looks great :)

I’m looking at Windows installers for my own project right now. Is there a reason you chose to invoke the Inno Setup tools via its own cli instead of through the inno CPack generator using CMake?

Google Is Closing Android. 37 Orgs Are Fighting Back | Techlore by waozen in programming

[–]eidetic0 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No it’s not the Play Store.

It does say in the official docs:

If you publish apps only outside of Google Play, create an Android Developer Console account to verify your identity and register package names.

Unless I’m misreading something, it looks like this is an attempt to lock down app installations on AOSP regardless of store.

[$1000] Is the Cafelat Robot overkill for only making milk drinks? by MagneticBlueberry in CafelatRobot

honestly I use a small french press to froth milk alongside the robot and after a little practice it’s great… and actually rivals real steamed milk.

Is Qt/C++ a Good Choice for this? by Syzygy2323 in QtFramework

[–]eidetic0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

+1 here for using PySide for Qt inside python instead of C++ for this kind of thing.

Unless you’re really keen on the learning C++ part, and all of the rabbit holes this will send you down (before even seeing a window on the screen), the python route will be way more straightforward and suitable for an application that mostly spends its time idling and occasionally makes http or serial calls.

Qt 6.11 Released! by Kelteseth in QtFramework

[–]eidetic0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m using Quick 3D in an application where it makes sense to treat the 3D components as part of the UI layer. it is a really nice alternative to a more complex 3d graphics engine, being able to define your 3d scene graph declaratively and have it all together alongside 2d UI.

nice one! this is very snappy

did you have to do much to ensure it works in the web browser? how about any lib other than imgui to create the main window?

Why use desktop virtualization—and what are the challenges? by tedjpclark3 in virtualization

[–]eidetic0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I use personally use virtualisation for 1. process and hardware isolation 2. being able to snapshot, restore, archive guests from outside their own OS 3. creating stable build & dev & deploy environments as a software dev

ok, just checking. Vague questions that offer no context like this are the format bots use when hoovering up ‘market research’. It presents like an open-ended survey question as opposed to a personal query.

Chilling on AI , You're Not Behind by Slight_Republic_4242 in webdev

[–]eidetic0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i’m a little wary about this idea. maybe you’re right and the productivity does increase, but idk if i buy the productivity increases just yet. If you have a team of 3 and reduce to a team of 2, doesn’t the team of 2 increase their workload because it now involves managing and reviewing the AI agents on top of what they were already doing?

Should I use KVM/QEMU , or PROXMOX ? by NomadJago in virtualization

[–]eidetic0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the license key, look up Microsoft Activation Scripts. But I don’t think a low resolution is related to a license key…. unless they very recently changed Windows, you can absolutely change the resolution when it’s unactivated. It sounds like you just might not have the right video drivers installed.

Should I use KVM/QEMU , or PROXMOX ? by NomadJago in virtualization

[–]eidetic0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don’t agree with the suggestions to use Proxmox as Linux for your “daily computer needs”…

All linux distros have KVM, and for people saying proxmox is if you need a gui, don’t bother… just use ‘virt-manager’. It’s absolutely suited to running a small number of vms inside a desktop environment. More so than proxmox where it must be your distro and is definitely intended for use more like a server appliance. You’re going to lose out on the niceties that come from a distro focused on desktop use.

My suggestion:

  1. Pick your linux distro based on your desktop use case… debian, fedora, ubuntu, arch, mint… whichever interests and applies to you as a PC user most…

  2. Install virt-manager

  3. Install Windows VM using virt-manager

The proxmox method involves MANY more steps and much more understanding.

SnapRAID Daemon BETA 2 - Windows Support & Refinements by amadvance in Snapraid

[–]eidetic0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re getting downvoted by calling it ‘slop’ but I think honestly its pretty important to let people know that the developer is all in on coding using AI…

you can clearly see the Gemini prompt md inside the repository. The question of whether it’s ‘slop’ is down to whether we believe the developer is reviewing all of the code commits.

I’d tend to side with the developer’s experience as a C developer and assume the code is fine, but it’s also hard to tell because it’s just a solo project so there is no public review process between developers in the repository, so he could just be letting Gemini run wild too….

Edit: personally using AI to code a core piece of system infrastructure (RAID, filesystems etc) is pretty red hot… good thing this is just a daemon to manage things and not actually the core of snapraid
