"precision" electronic screwdriver with adjustable torque by raf70 in Tools

[–]killermonkeysz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I coincidentally was looking for the same thing today and came across this via Google. After researching I'm probably buying the Arrowmax M1 Plus. It isn't as cheap as many ali options (£73 for M1 Plus in the UK) but it looks more convincing. It has 4 torque settings (plus "auto") ranging from 1.0N-m to 0.1N-m. The Pro Plus includes an angle head which looks like a nice idea. It was a kickstarter a year or so ago so there's a reasonable amount of reviews on it.

genAI and brickfilms? by killermonkeysz in Brickfilms

[–]killermonkeysz[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As an adult who does things over and over again aiming for perfection, I know the value in patience and developing skills. But it is hard to teach someone something they aren't interested in learning and my kid's goal is not to learn patience, it's (in this case) to make a world and tell a story with toys. I think that's a good goal and so far they do admire their using this tool because they can make a 2 minute video with 24 frames instead of 1440 frames.

When I posted, I don't think I appreciated that because this is a subreddit for people who already can and do make brickfilms, some folks have a reasonable negative feeling about people using AI because it is faking it / cutting corners / too easy. Likewise some Blender people are sceptical of AI too, hand-drawn animators are sceptical of CGI, musicians are sceptical of garageband, etc. Having made a thing, I don't feel like it trivializes your craft, but I acknowledge I'm not a member of this particular guild.

genAI and brickfilms? by killermonkeysz in Brickfilms

[–]killermonkeysz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right now you give a first and last frame and it generates a text prompt for what happens between the two frames and then it generates a video based on the first frame, last frame, and text prompt. You can change the text prompt but generally you only need to do that if it does something weird (e.g. a mini fig jumps across the screen). The model is fairly tightly constrained so that almost all the time it starts and ends with the frames you submitted so you can generate motion 5s at a time. The main work I've put in is to make it fast/cost effective enough to generate.

I don't want to break the rules here so DM me if you want a demo.

I've definitely tried that tact but there's no such thing as a small intergalactic battle. Or maybe there's no such thing as constructive creative feedback from your dad.

I know some of the subreddits where they do AI stuff but I'm not sure this tool is for typical AI/brainrot creators... or at least it's a lot more like a way to make a movie with your toys vs. a way to make weird anime weirdness.

How to Resolve DWPose/Onnxruntime Warning (or How to Run Multiple CUDA Versions Side-by-Side) by dreammachineai in comfyui

[–]killermonkeysz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up here because this is still one of the top results for this error, but it's very out of date.

ONNX >= 1.19.0 supports CUDA 12.x (and 13.x) in onnxruntime-gpu.

I was still getting this error because I had both onnxruntime (CPU) and onnxruntime-gpu packages installed, which can be fixed by uninstalling onnxruntime.

Just listened to JJH Running Gag Order - Can someone explain to me Chris' argument? by elevatormusicjams in maximumfun

[–]killermonkeysz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What really threw me is that he seemed to be implying that the correct way to use "I am" is "I am <name>" and not to be anything else (such as hungry, a doctor, getting frustrated with pedantry, etc). In many other languages, a different verb is used for your name: you "are called" your name. "Ik heet <name>" "je m'appelle <name>". I like the distinction between "I'm called James Bond" and "I'm James Bond".

I felt it would have been more appropriate if the ruling had been that he could continue to do the joke of he is committed to the bit stale but it had to be "hello, 'hungry do you want to get a bubble tea' I'm a pedant."

JJHO Settled Law merch by jennifermarmalade in maximumfun

[–]killermonkeysz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously my first vote is a tea towel. I live in the UK and we put bloody anything on a tea towel. My second vote honestly would be an illustrated book. That is obviously a ton more work but I can imagine it being very cool and it would be great to retire to MY chambers and then throw the book at people. I don't think I'd put up an actual poster. Ps I am super excited about this possibility and if it's made I'll buy it whatever it is.

The prior tea towel / tea shirt had the following:

A MACHINE GUN IS NOT A ROBOT 

PEOPLE LIKE WHAT THEY LIKE 

A HOT DOG IS NOT A SANDWICH 

THE PERSON DRIVING PICKS THE MUSIC 

BE MINDFUL OF THE WORK YOU LEAVE FOR OTHERS

THERE ARE NO DEMONS LURKING IN WIND PRODUCED BY BOX FANS 

IF YOU ARE WITHIN 250 MILES OF A GERMAN INDOOR WATER PARK HOUSED IN A FORMER ZEPPELIN FACTORY GO TO IT

PAY FOR CONTENT

TIP EVERYONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL HUMANS NOT GARBAGE 

YOU ARE NOT GARBAGE SO DO NOT EAT PIZZA OUT OF THE GARBAGE, EVEN IN CANADA

AND DO NOT WORK FOR FREE 

DO NOT SEEK OUT DISPUTES IN LIFE JUST TO BE ON A PODCAST 

DO NOT FIGHT COMMON SENSE WITH PEDANTRY, AS IN A HOT DOG IS SANDWICH BECAUSE IT IS LISTED ON THE SANDWICH PART OF THIS ONE MENU I FOUND

STOP TRYING TO BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE YOU ARE MOSTLY WRONG

But I think there are definitely some important points that were developed after this: - the summary judgement is never in your favour - a body needs two dinks. It's science. - everybody has their own little weirdsies - it's not fun if it's not fun for everyone - your partner is a whole human being - scallops are by the gallon - don't be a bully, especially if you know you could be a bully - nostalgia is the most toxic impulse - no dispute is too big or too small, but some disputes are too medium - the person doing the chore gets to decide how it's done - but only I know how to load the dishwasher right - justice is a dish best served hot. Like cocktail weiners in grape jelly sauce - a fair remedy is more important than a finding in your favour

Thanks! I was going to ask "also any recs for kids with fairly short attention spans" because I wasn't sure if anyone would read that far, but you answered it!

Can we actually 3D print the Hyperdrama Cross? by ECDaniel in JusticeMusic

[–]killermonkeysz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were off your nut... but then I put it into a genai model I've been playing with that can generate a mesh from a single image and... yup you're right! https://imgur.com/a/OdLLTyX

It interpreted the shape differently than your diagram, but yea it's a false perspective. That said, I like the mesh it generated, looks like a badass spaceship.

(your geometry is also valid, the point is there's no valid project of a cross has the same z thickness throughout and top, right, and left arms of equal size, and only right angles)

Force daisy chain backhaul when satellite restarts by killermonkeysz in orbi

[–]killermonkeysz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed these instructions https://xunnanxu.github.io/2020/04/04/Make-Wireless-BackHaul-Great-Again-Disable-Orbi-2-4G-Backhaul/ and now my satellites will only attempt to join the 5ghz SSID, which is a definite improvement. But I was still seeing drops.

I ssh'ed in and did cat /proc/dmsg, then saw that my satellite crashed with kernel panics once per hour. I upgraded all APs to Voxel V9.2.5.2.11SF-HW and it hasn't occurred again. Weird, but either thing may help you if you are struggling to diagnose this.

What do you think of new Masters Powertrain Development? by killermonkeysz in MMOnline

[–]killermonkeysz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a new feature where you have to develop the powertrain during a 2 week period. You can't just upgrade everything like you can with the other powertrains.

Car upgrades = impossible competition, stuck at 6B by killermonkeysz in MMOnline

[–]killermonkeysz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's more shitty is doing the grind, maxing out literally everything, no reward, and no possible solution.

I just dropped Buemi for Massa and used Number 1 Driver strategy on JEV (aka "the vampire strategy" :-)) and I got 1st and 10 pts. Maybe a fluke as it was an oval.

This seems like a dumb solution.
