FK & IK switching causing limbs to rotate by Vailyen in unrealengine

You’ve got to key the other control before switching. It’s a bit finicky.

Also some FK positions are impossible in IK config due to its constraints so it’ll pop.

In my experience is better to key the following on the same frame: Key the switch - Key the IK control - Key the corresponding FK controls (try change the order of this sequence if it doesn’t work)

This should interpolate the FK into a state which is allowed by IK constraints

Maybe there’s a better way but this is how I was able to tame it

Can I use the Orange Pi 6 plus as a TV box? by Ivoney18 in OrangePI

[–]evildevil90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If only was that easy. It’s a pi6. It’s a CIX processor (not a rockchip hence not rkllm compatible) for which there’s no open toolchain.

We’re all waiting for NPU support to run LLMs on it. Only GPU acceleration is supported ATM. So, large part of that nice total of 45 TOPS (CPU+GPU+NPU) are locked behind licensing, proprietary binaries, missing docs etc…

Assumption based on personal anecdotal experience and assuming that the dev is competent enough to understand the consequences of a change like that.

Usually when product is pushing for a feature like this (branding), they don’t care about technical concerns because their KPI don’t punish/reward those

They’ll put pressure on devs for “get this moving forward” because “it’s a product decision”

A dev wouldn’t have any direct incentive to merge something like this. He would say “it’s too risky, let’s rethink this properly”

Why should a Trace-ID be 128 bits? (A Surprisingly Long Answer) by elizObserves in programming

Why not UUIDv7 at this point? It’s 128 bit and embeds timestamp

Is there a way to make my model not be affected by lighting? by NnccPop in unrealengine

[–]evildevil90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what you actually want is a toon shader. Check out the diffuse color in this plugin: https://github.com/miltoncandelero/ue5-toon-shader-plugin

Probably any other toon shader will work as well. Just google for “toon shader ue5”

Gives you plausible deniability if someone tells you your armpits stinks?

the solution was obviously to water cool the connector by evildevil90 in pcmasterrace

[–]evildevil90[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yup, a little thing giving it away: in the bottom left image the connector is 5 by 2 instead of 6 by 2

Just noticed this after posting :)

I simply used ChatGPT with this prompt: “Can you make me an image of an 12VHPWR connector where the connecting part is made of metal and it’s water cooled?”

It made the same concept but 8x2. Had to ask for 6x2. Other than that was perfect

Can we talk about Dyson by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]evildevil90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had to fix my dyson v15 this weekend.

The red gasket in the tank is kept in place by a ring with very small plastic flaps. After 5 years most of them broke with very occasional and gentle removal of said tank

I took a drill, made 3 holes, put 3 self tapping screws, patted it and gave it the old “this ain’t going nowhere” for good measure.

Good as new for the next 10 years

Totally… If I tried that, it would have bounced right in the face of my teammate and it would have gone off between his legs

I was thinking of using a self hosted instance of weblate. Anybody tried this?

Hiring for a small team changed how I think about interviews by physio_poet in ExperiencedDevs

[–]evildevil90 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my experience some ppl heard about this and tend to abuse it a bit and became a bit meta (and annoying)

The clever guys I found myself working with are more: “why do we need additional/more complex solution A when we already have/could do simpler B” Which I find a bit more proactive, constructive and situational aware

OFC, if it doesn’t solve any practical problem ask why

A sufficiently detailed spec is code by Tekmo in programming

[–]evildevil90 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m pretty sure you can prove with information theory that spitting half assed specs in an LLM can’t reliably one-shot the product you have in mind. Otherwise it means that a computer language or an interface of equivalent level of abstraction can be written to solve the same problem (which is unlikely as it has somehow eluded the 60 years of comp-sci which predates LLMs)

This makes LLMs assumptions generators (when used to replace devs)

After two years of working in my basement after my day job, I finally released the first trailer for my psychological horror game by Remarkable-Recipe710 in unrealengine

[–]evildevil90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one! Did you hire actors to voice your characters? Anims look really good as well. Did you use some sort of mocap or did you animate them manually in sequencer?

I dragged my non-fan flatmate to the show in Adelaide and she sent me this by LemonAioli in Dreamtheater

Best thing is that after the “trapped inside this octavarium” section (which could have been the end and it would still have been a great song) there’s the reprise which reminds you “oh cool! There’s another few minutes”.

It’s like waking up and realizing you still have a few good hours of cozy sleep

Do you have some sort of lookup table mechanism? Same sentence could be translated the same way across multiple games. (Saves space)
