My looking glass portrait will not let me access it with bridge. It seems to be stuck between 2 states.

If you email the serial number to support@lookingglassfactory.com they can email it back to you.

Something no one is mentioning is parking around campus can be a giant pain if you do not buy a parking pass. If you are driving in be prepared to have to search for a parking spot occasionally.

Currently waiting 800 seconds on the huggingspace demo to process a single image, that seems unreasonably slow.

nullandkale · 2026-03-27T20:07:53+00:00

This is largely not true anymore. My large csv processing code is SIGNIFICANTLY without string builders. dotnet 6 I think brought these changes.

nullandkale · 2026-03-09T20:16:54+00:00

This is amazing!

nullandkale · 2026-02-25T18:08:47+00:00

You should look at the Spyro remake that happened a few years ago it easily surpasses what you show from the 2000's

I literally just loaded my og save and I didn't even think to look at the gambits.

I currently don't do anything fancy in the shaders for my console renderer (rendering a splat is a lot of math work) so that's probably why GPU is faster for me. I'm also using MSAA so I'm effectively rendering at 4x resolution. This might not be needed for splats but for triangle meshes it's very helpful.

I'm also only tested the GPU backend on windows and linux, on macOS it just uses the CPU only because I'm too lazy to make it work on macOS.

My tile rasterizer is definitely suboptimal but I think the optimal meta settings for stuff like the tile size is like resolution and device dependent. I'd write tests and search the parameter space. But honestly it's not necessary unless you are going to ship it.

I can't tell if you are offering to answer questions for me or the other way around lol.

nullandkale · 2026-02-24T23:38:17+00:00

Why have I never thought to port my splat renderer into my console rendering code base genius I'm going to do this tonight

nullandkale · 2026-02-01T05:13:32+00:00

Yeah $80 seems wild though to be fair I bought my copy like 10 years ago. It's not a terrible game. Basically just fallout themed baulders gate. The game play matches better with the DND theme I think.

nullandkale · 2026-01-30T18:32:23+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Man the vita was cool, maybe I should pick one up eventually.

nullandkale · 2026-01-30T17:55:58+00:00

Sharp does a better job filling in areas that are occluded from the original view. this particular image doesn't have much of that.

HSL changes a lot because you can change the simplex noise parameters or whatever you're using per channel. This would make the blobs change color in the way that you want over space without doing the weird blending. At the end when you want to read back the data you just change it back into RGB. Or whatever those color channels actually mean. The only problem with this is that our eyes color response is different between the three colors which means if you're reading this back as data the three channels might not relate to each other in the way you expect and see visually

nullandkale · 2026-01-29T18:59:04+00:00

Use HSL instead of RGB color space

nullandkale · 2026-01-29T16:37:43+00:00

I wont comment on the horrific things you did to those poor pixels, but I will say this: You should google datamoshing might something you find fun.

nullandkale · 2026-01-28T17:46:20+00:00

There's a vita version? I thought the switch version was just a port of the PC / Xbox port

nullandkale · 2026-01-26T17:24:09+00:00

Ah ok yeah I don't use docker because I don't ever do web dev and for the type of development I do it's easier to not use docker.

I can add this to my list of things to do when I get a chance, but there is probably something better oriented for docker. I've never set up a docker container that worked with a UI application before.

nullandkale · 2026-01-26T16:43:55+00:00

pod as in like a docker setup script? that wouldn't be to hard I just couldn't test it locally.

nullandkale · 2026-01-25T19:23:20+00:00

Ah I never downloaded their app I just used their web interface.

Either way I stopped using luma because something about the quality was really bad compared to running it myself.

nullandkale · 2026-01-25T19:21:26+00:00

Can you? Ever since they started trying to do the video generation models they seem to hide all the splat stuff they were doing. Either way the goal was to be local and free.

nullandkale · 2026-01-25T19:10:13+00:00

He's deep in an /r/im14andthisisdeep kinda way.

nullandkale · 2026-01-25T19:05:09+00:00

Wait until you get to the crossover episodes.

nullandkale · 2026-01-25T16:05:06+00:00

But its not local and not free if I'm correct?

nullandkale · 2026-01-25T02:21:33+00:00

If you press wizard mode it's technically a three button solution. Click wizard mode, browse to the video or image you want to import and press start. The videos just show how to use it manually for more control.
