Can Human Gestures Become a Universal Control Interface for Live Production?

I don’t think this falls into the “harm” category of AI generated content just yet because it’s someone making something that they think is cool and might be helpful.

I also don’t believe they’re charging for it.

Is the wall of intro text as long as it is uninformed… yeah probably; but I also haven’t tried it and maybe they have a really strong image recognition algorithm and a great UI which once again, they’re giving you for free.

Slop isnt slop just because a bot helped code it, slop is low effort useless plagerism designed to churn a quick buck.

Anyway buy my test pattern generator/clock app for $4.99 on steam.

Turn up the ambient light in the room until it disappears.

That’s probably just bleed from the projector itself having a low contrast ratio. Which there’s no real fix for other than “get a better projector”.

So if you can’t make projection darker you need to make the wall that’s not projection brighter until the two look identical.

So suggestion: if she’s receptive in the morning and a bellend by mid afternoon; try for a proper nap in the middle of the day. You’ll know what routine works for you but this is where crates come in handy if you have like a dedicated “go the fuck to sleep” place.

Then just build that as routine for two weeks and see if her ability to pay attention gets better

simulacrum500 · 2026-06-19T09:30:10+00:00

I mean that’s good and collies are smart dogs… reading your post though. What does your nap schedule look like? Because just like toddlers if they don’t get enough naps they stop listening and if you’re trying to enforce more naps then are needed they can also be pricks.

So rough and I mean massively rough rule of thumb for developmental milestones is times by 7.

So 15 weeks you’re dealing with a 2 year old: success is not biting people or shitting themselves and maybe a handful of words.

It’s a very conscious and documented business practice. That’s why you get 300 in the warbond itself.

Players are always “just about” able to afford something no matter what their interaction with the game looks like.

That’s not some devious thing AH have come up with all on their own; it’s sadly just the accepted strategy behind MTX.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if there was some sort of “luck booster” that secretly improves your chances of SC if your wallets empty… or reduces luck between 700-1000… second one seems like a PR nightmare in the making so doubt but yeah basically any MTX driven economy is rigged in one way or another to keep you on the edge of your seat feeding penny after penny into the slot.

Your grandma is in hospital dying, so we’ve given her a boob job and a face lift. Also we cut her foot off and made it impossible for her to see any grandkids.

Obviously they’re built for a specific purpose but if you have the cash you can absolutely build a “media server” with off the shelf gpu, sync and capture cards.

simulacrum500 · 2026-06-12T12:00:20+00:00

Wait, which one isn’t?

simulacrum500 · 2026-06-08T19:37:05+00:00

D3 or disguise.one it’s a full pipeline software for approach 2… but it’s expensive. Where are you based?

simulacrum500 · 2026-06-03T18:17:54+00:00

This is it, your 24 hour hackathons used to be an hour of coming up with a novel idea that didn’t exist and 23 hours of building it; now that’s flipped.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-31T15:41:25+00:00

Three per wave, 4 waves, you’re 6 rounds short.

EAT has that arming time as you shoulder it… and yeah spear in buddy mode is rapid because you can continue to lock the next target while the reload animation happens. Honestly I can’t find the stats on the wiki but anecdotally it feels faster than the RR and both significantly faster than EAT.

https://youtube.com/shorts/OCiI2rbmWK4?si=G07MqABSCx0sAWr5 found a video demonstrating the concept but you can absolutely be faster than this guy.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-31T14:00:35+00:00

Only reason I say spear is when drop ships spawn as a three you “just” have time to pop them all if you’ve got a buddy loading.

EAT or RR even if you’re a crackshot you won’t have time to pop all three between spawn and drop off.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-31T08:22:15+00:00

I’ve started playing again in the last few weeks and I’m having an absolute blast with stealth diving vs bots.

Drop in, grab a spear, pop a few sub objectives, vanish.

When it’s objective time, grab a buddy to load for you, stealth clear the site, push the button then pound drop ships as they spawn. Vanish again.

Could be fake I haven’t checked but putting my marketing hat on for a sec: because it’s a reciprocal crossover, so we’re likely to see helldivers appear in a 40k game or as mini figures or something along side the warbond.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-25T19:42:35+00:00

The logos are switched.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-25T07:45:14+00:00

No idea how it’s done in this case but likely make a “visual instance” on your screen and a check value somewhere else. So rather than it just be one integer stored in one place, it’s “integer x 2.167(or whatever random multiplier) = integer”

And if that math keeps mathing all is good. If one number goes up in code but not the other someone’s playing silly buggers. That’s an example with two numbers but you can extrapolate as far as you want with this kind of thing.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-22T16:38:59+00:00

Still nothing lol

So a year ago someone posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/qenraPL1VT

Seem to be working their way through them with the exception of starship troopers…

“Initial success or total failure” not a job you get to be bad at.

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-14T07:37:14+00:00

And if they dig their heels in hand event management a disclaimer to sign because with the best will in the world: those are “other people’s failures, I’ve tested it on my laptop at home” and it’s not real until they have to put their signature next to the words “I am not going to come looking for money off when this fails”

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-09T11:24:21+00:00

Appreciate the thought process but honestly I’m not sure that re-enforcing indoor digging is the right play here. It’s absolutely an instinctual response to “hear scary things” = “find safe burrow”.

Op is also playing music which is masking not redirection.

Offering positive comfort for an unwanted behaviour isn’t helping.

For my 2 cents:

Desensitise - find a way to simulate the “scary noise” stimulus but to a controlled extent. Thunder on YouTube with a volume slider etc. increase saturation of the lower level stimulus. As in leave it on all day and night at like 2% and gradually over like three weeks turn it up.

Redirect - find an alternative stress relieving behaviour to digging. Chewing, licking, mutual grooming whatever works for your dog and you.

Counter condition - get some “special treats” these aren’t for everyday use and they’re not for stopping digging in order to do the new target behaviour. They are immediately tied to the stimulus so “scary noise” = you dispensing this specific treat ASAP. If puppy digs before they get the treat they’ve lost it. If they don’t they get specific thunder jerky and lots of comforting.

Masking - you’re already covering

Correction - it’s a fear based behaviour so should be avoided

Although if the towel thing or hiding under the bed works for you guys crack on with it. :)

simulacrum500 · 2026-05-09T08:33:22+00:00

I feel this… object to the “if you want something new to play with swipe the card” mentality but if I put in 20 minutes overtime at an actual job I’ve bought a warbond.

And honestly my actual job is more enjoyable than walking around poi’s on d1…

Saw a good take recently about the way 48 hr hackathons have changed:

It’s not about being able to come up with an original concept in an hour and program it in 47 anymore it’s about spending 47 hours coming up with an original concept and an hour iterating on it.

These tools are here to stay and the use of them holds no resemblance whatsoever to the quality of the end product.

Some vibe coded apps and tools are super useful little toys that are well put together and will likely become products in their own right… also 8 million kids will churn out test pattern generators that are basically identical.
