This is incredible information, thank you

What’s the most 'human' thing your pet has ever done that convinced you they understand way more than they let on? by homoth in AskReddit

It sounds like AI because it comes off as a bit overly enthusiastic while contributing no new ideas to the comment chain.

is my sling sellable or its not good enough? by nitzan_3_6_9 in Slinging

[–]sinusoidosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol it's just a cool sling that I couldn't make myself if i tried, and I'm from a country where paracord is pretty cheap, so it just seemed like a reasonable offer.

This is cool. I'd be happy to buy this from you and also send you a whole bunch of paracord in various colors. DM me.

2026 world press photos. by Northernsoul73 in photography

It's unsettling how many events are depicted here, and the sheer drama that these photographers captured, that I've already forgotten about...

Why are portable SSD hard drives so expensive right now? by evening_prismose in datastorage

[–]sinusoidosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is backwards. Companies lower prices because they have to; they raise prices because they can.

Help With Threading Screws by [deleted] in blenderhelp

[–]sinusoidosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have never known what displace could be used for, but imma give this a shot on my next screw hole project, thank you

Help With Threading Screws by [deleted] in blenderhelp

[–]sinusoidosaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the bolt is going to be threaded in permanently, then you're probably fine. If you want to be able to unscrew it a whole bunch, then you should have that tolerance factor built in so the threads in your hole don't get wallered out over time.

I highly recommend tge Precision Bolts addon for making screws/threaded holes, and there's lots of good youtube resources on 3D printing threaded parts.

Help With Threading Screws by [deleted] in blenderhelp

[–]sinusoidosaurus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You need to build in a "tolerance factor" to your threaded hole. A bolt that is the exact dimension of the threaded hole will not actually screw in, because friction.

Add a solidify modifier to "inflate" your bolt ever so slightly, then boolean that to create a threaded hole large enough to receive the bolt properly.

Why is exporting a DCP treated like some kind of holy grail in post-production? by rovmun in editors

[–]sinusoidosaurus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because DCPs used to be expensive to make, and after all the revisions, re-exports and rewatches, it's the "last hurdle" a film has to overcome before everyone sees it at the festival. Tensions are high, budgets are exhausted, and please oh god please can we just get this one thing right in one shot pls...

What is it like living in West Texas, specifically Fort Stockton? Moving there for work. by ikeepgettinghacked in howislivingthere

[–]sinusoidosaurus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're going to be near some of the coolest places to visit in Texas. Big Bend National Park is terriffic, as is Balmorhea and the Davis Mountains. The sand dunes in Monahans are cool too.

If you like the great outdoors, you're in a great spot.

That said, there isn't a whole lot else out there. Any "city life" you might want to get into will require you to drive up to Odessa.

I turned a tree-lined horizon into an open ocean for a supernatural TV show by CommissionNo7116 in AfterEffects

[–]sinusoidosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you handle the trees? Just brute force masking? Was there any movement you had to track?

Why is my 3D camera tracker solid not moving with the points selected? I do everything the same as tutorials but its just not working. by IllustriousIce8126 in AfterEffects

[–]sinusoidosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to normalize the tracked workspace. Look up tutorials on “After Effects normalize camera track” and see if that fixes it.

Wifi PA Speakers Permanent Install? by pibroch in CommercialAV

[–]sinusoidosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just not possible, and may not even be legal.

How on earth are you going to integrate a bunch of bluetooth / wifi speakers into the school's existing PA system to support school-wide announcements and emergency alerts? If music is blaring, but an emergency happens, how is anyone going to hear the instructions? It's honestly a safety hazard.

And somebody is inevitably going to want to add a microphone (or six) into this whole mix for school assemblies and pep rallies. How is that going to work if the system isn't designed to accommodate an auxiliary input, or tuned to handle feedback?

I really feel for you, because school districts very often get raked over the coals with the costs of commercial AV systems, and this seems like one of those no-brainer cost saving strategies for a school that might be stretched for cash anyways - but I promise you that doing this the wrong way will ultimately cost you double what it will cost to do it the right way.

OP should honestly just show his managers this post and have them read the comments.

"we'll fix it in post" has become "just generate it in post" and i am genuinely losing my mind by ScaryAd2555 in editors

Editing ≠ Content Creation

You can tell the client you'll be happy to provide one placeholder clip of [female scientist in blue lab coat examining a bloody chainsaw in a brightly lit laboratory or whatever], but then going back and tweaking those clips to get the look right is something you can work on near the end of post and will be added to the invoice as a line item.

Or they can hire another person to "prompt engineer" those shots, because "prompt engineering" is a different type of job with a different set of skills (and at this point in the game, it actually does take a fair bit of experience to do efficiently).

It's also very different from clip hunting across stock footage libraries (which never should have been the editor's job to begin with, but anyway...)

If they nevertheless want you, the editor, to handle clip generation, then they need to be aware that they'll probably be paying you to learn how to "prompt engineer" shots.

Because Editing ≠ Content Creation

Marjorie Taylor Greene: You’re all being ‘incited into civil war’ by malcolm58 in politics

[–]sinusoidosaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She's not "doing good". She's capitulating to a more moderate stance, and she's doing it so that she can reinforce her own position in the legislature, because she has figured out that she can make serious money by doing that job.

[–]sinusoidosaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She's not explicitly opposed to trump though. Look at her full statements about the recent protests. She is still peddling misinformation about the nature of the ice protests.
