I unlocked the Redshift handheld video game system; became obsessed and made a video player ( https://www.reddit.com/r/exapunks/comments/tzv1m5/redshift_v... ) among other things. So fun! I should progress past Redshift.

Cool work, thanks for sharing! I saw briefly in the video https://youtu.be/QlfCfkzkBB4?si=xkuPS0Dj9Z9hnjAP&t=57 that you were using 3d renderings of eyes for training? Did you find a rigged eye like that, or make it? So it worked well enough for training. Are you using actual captures for training too? or is it not worth using?

I like the progressive example toys. Thanks!

I’ve done the same with a q3 and virtual desktop for a few weeks and hours at a time when I didn’t have a good monitor. I could run a 4k screen after tweaking the settings a bit. (And using a dummy hdmi plug so an external monitor was not needed)

It was best curved and large (and angled down a bit) so that I use it like it is 4 1080p screens. And move head to see each (and a bit more) sharp.

The newer version (tested briefly) lets you arrange several virtual monitors wherever. Not as convenient/sharp as a large 4k tv/monitor on my desk, but for a backup monitor and mobile it was great. I’ll give it a shot again.

I didn’t have to disable mobile mode to move my fingers over the browser navigation from the app and still control the puck. It’s very replaceable. I like the statistics. Perhaps one that shows a histogram over all games and where you rank for score etc? But top tennis is generous.

Very fun! Works great on iPhone. Neat that I can stop by just lifting my finger to take a breather. Fun multipliers! More to discover!

Nice. I’m similarly spoiled for choice now. Past workplace:

1. Swiss Miss Hot chocolate mix

2. Starlight Peppermint Mints

3. Lemonade

4. Peanut butter

For variety, I tried many combinations. Some: 1+3: bad, 1+2, 2+3: good, 1+4: awesome

(Hmm... A qr code to an audio stream? Could be a fun challenge to get it to sync reliably.)

Nice! Does-this/can-this handle interlacing?

OP's relationship story sounds so familiar to me.

[Insert TMI story.] Cycle of abuse: https://psychcentral.com/health/cycle-of-abuse

Fortunately, it ended ok. I healed for over a year before dating again, and dated someone for exactly a year to make sure it was good relationship. It still is. :D

Occlusion could be done with head tracking for one observer (not both eyes though); but defeats the point. I'm guessing AR glasses will work for much of this.

I was thinking shooting the piece into a basket or something, but aiming for the player's forehead sounds fun.

Cool project!

Could a hefty reverse magnetic pulse launch captured pieces off the board? And maybe with some precision by controlling the offset and power?

Neat, I played with 360 equirectangular projection gen for a gamejam last year. It has some interesting possibilities and challenges.

I started to image segment objects then generative infill to replace the background and make objects in the forground to work have z depth for vr, used switchlight ai to make objects into PBR textures so I could have dynamic lights...

I later found this tool for generating 360 panoramas: https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/025e37f6fb27d9f2495cbbbf874f...

What would be cool is to have ai generated scene that is spatially coherent and explorable. I think it's possible with a bit of tooling now...

Curious what the author's plans for this is.

Reminds of an early tank simulator where the driver in the cockpit saw a video feed from a camera on a gantry they were slowly driving around a diarama. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AcQifPHcMLE

"Real engine" for just one player at a time though.

Consider meshroom, nerfstudio, (search alternatives too) ffmpeg to split to frames.

Follow the money? What financial (or power) incentives are there for faked science?

This is neat, but yeah, another fun challenge: have it build a letter/word/pixel art from random pieces, the best it can.

Wadsworth constant. (Older Reddit meme) Skip (30%) to the good part!

Animation tools have a ton of room for improvement, that they're working on. ...and the move to Vulcan will help a ton it looks like.

I just found this by searching. I think something like that would be useful. someone else did reply:

mkrishnan 12 days ago [dead] [–] Great idea. But get ready for tons of law suits....

Also, just asked gpt4 in case any of that is useful:

The concept of a "Rate My Manager" website for the tech industry is a compelling one, addressing the need for more transparent feedback mechanisms regarding managerial behavior and offering valuable pre-employment insights to prospective employees. Key aspects to include in reviews should encompass leadership and vision, empathy, decision-making, respect for work-life balance, opportunities for growth, conflict resolution skills, and efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion. The platform must balance anonymity with accountability to avoid false or malicious reviews, encourage balanced perspectives, and have robust moderation to maintain constructiveness.

Verifying feedback, being aware of legal implications, and allowing managers to respond are also crucial. Emphasizing data security, community engagement, and fostering a culture of constructive feedback can make this platform a transformative tool for improving workplace environments in the tech industry, ensuring it remains fair, informative, and beneficial for all parties involved.

Yeah, I remember noticing Google doing A/B tests on the color of links. A/B test everything! Few may die-- more may live in the long run. (If that's what you're trying to optimize.)

Very cool project, surprised it's possible. Thanks for sharing the youtube vid on it too. (Perhaps the 3d view could use another shade of grey or two using the other colors or characters?)

- User setup geo fence.

- Requires connection to phone, nfc, other radio signal...

- and/or other deadman switch ideas...

Maybe they are moving to rendering with Unreal? Our studio did.

We can help it look for and use sources.

I've had it generate search terms that could be used to verify "facts" in is answer. Then I'd give it the page results and have it adjust and source it's answer using that.

Have not tried it yet, but perhaps Bing's implementation is a step in that direction?

I bet it can do some experements if given a (thoughtful) request, resources/access. (I had ChatGPT control my Linux box through me, it gave commands and reasoning for it, I gave it the output... Another time I had it write an answer, give search terms to verify the claims, I gave the output, and it fixed the answer with actual citations.) It can imitate reasoning and emotions better than some people I know at least.

OpenAI stores all their input and output right? They could make a plagiarism detector type site to test if a text came from them.
