my goal is to have it so with a fixed number of character customization options you eventually hit a point where you're no longer adding draw calls to the scene as you add more characters
I don't know whether this is better or worse than just doing each character with a skeleton the normie way

@PhoenixSerenity artist- I went for it in college but bailed out for educator! If money weren’t an issue…..
So basically what we have to financially live through now is the equivalent of the Fortune 50 going all in and laying people off over NFTs.
you can't tell the bobot "or go to jail" any more because that's claude abuse 🥺
@db @loriemerson @kupfers @mario_angst_sci I’ve been running off my own email via a hosted domain since maybe 2000 or 2001 and really haven’t had too many problems. Eventually I am going to save up for one of the @JulianOliver courses and get it onsite.
There are occasional bumps in owning email but nothing terrible, gmail etc goes down too. I also host a few things for friends, one of whom is a reasonable risk as a target for disruption and this hasn’t been a problem either.
I estimate I average 15minutes each month thinking about the technical aspects of my email hosting.
@gahlord @db @loriemerson @kupfers @mario_angst_sci Agreed. I deploy high rep MTA's often, and have run my own for over 20yrs, Postfix+Postscreen/Dovecot/OpenDKIM/Procmail/ClamAV stacks mostly. But to be honest it is non-trivial without sufficient knowledge and diligence, esp today. Many boxes to tick, DMARC, SPF, DKIM, rDNS/PTR ++.
Once secured, & running, it is however very low maintenance, with A+ in tests and delivery. A beautiful thing to be free of the big mailboxes or managed hosting.

wait you added different training data and now the output resembles that data? holy fuck. you added more ram and now the model's outputs resemble the training data over longer stretches? no. you can't have. fetch my smelling salts. i'm feeling light headed
@aparrish techbros finding out photocopiers exist and being terrified that they're going to do some kind of coup

Latest of many recent emails from Social Security fluffing the corrupt Trump regime starts: "Under President Donald J. Trump, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is transforming into a model of excellence..."
Voters: Remember that this crowd wants to gut Medicare and Social Security.

@autolycos @VWDasher Wyoming has drive through liquor stores? So does Australia? Oh boy.
@ai6yr @autolycos yeah totally normal thing here. Either on their own or attached to a pub. You can drive in and have someone just load you up with booze or drive in and get out of the car and pick your booze.

Literally, as I wrote this thread, the Trump regime moved for ballot segregation in Alaska. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/in-new-escalation-doj-wants-to-force-Alaskan-to-segregate-ballots-in-senate-race/ This maneuver is part and parcel of of the coordinated election interference explained in the thread.
@heidilifeldman As I understand, they’re (Republicans) using this same tactic in other states? I know it’s too much to ask for consistency especially when it wouldn’t benefit them … but still
The problem wasn’t LLMs at the core. It was building something that tricked primitive parts of human brains into anthropomorphism so effectively. Everyone attributes way more capability to AI than it really has because by its nature it can sound human through mimicry. It’s a great data science tool.
@hacks4pancakes Paraphrasing you, "the trick wasn't in making computers think, it was in stopping humans from realising the computers weren't thinking".
Maybe they are practicing "social distancing".
alright how do I do animal crossing style facial expressions in a way that lets godot batch a bunch of character renders
do I just have the face be a completely separate mesh

#CW - video has flashing lights & loud noise.
I got this cute purple kitty personal alarm for my Mom from local online classifieds for $6. The seller dropped it off on their way out to dinner because they live 4 blocks from me.
This is useful for Mom, in case of emergencies. It has a flashlight too.
"This update adds support for Linux and Steam Deck, along with WASD keyboard movement and other features"
So uh, this game already had Linux support and I remember playing with WASD, so... what's up with that? Oh, the game's been sold to someone new who's using "AI" to give it a spruce up? I guess that tracks :/
[me, looking at any research about the "capabilities" of llms] wait. you're telling me... that this generative machine learning model... can produce output that resembles its training data? shit. this changes everything
wait you added different training data and now the output resembles that data? holy fuck. you added more ram and now the model's outputs resemble the training data over longer stretches? no. you can't have. fetch my smelling salts. i'm feeling light headed
