Fluffmiceter

Just changed my profile picture. Do not be alarmed. In other news, there's now an official RoKarts twitter @RokartsOfficial , I'll still be tweeting my dev stuff here but you'll get a much cleaner view of the project on that account. A great way to filter out my ranting.

@benprototype Worms???

Grenades now go boom. I switched the terrain over to a custom marching squares approach. It's just creating thousands of parts right now. I will try out a dynamic mesh next + hopefully proper textures

@plasma_node Are you... on ketamine?

@Juju62944066720 @skarlisimo @DavidMoss I mean... "there's probably a cleaning team washing it after each flight". If humans can clean a carpet using some procedure, I fail to see why a robot could not be designed to do the same procedure? And having carpeted floors is just way nicer, cmon.

@fluffmiceter @skarlisimo @DavidMoss that doesn't fix calcium filled carpet fibers, it needs to be chemically dissolved and scrubbed by a human, so why bother with the carpet if they can do plastic or rubber? If would have to be like the frunk with a drain plug type of system.

Cybercab has under seat ambient lighting!

@skarlisimo @DavidMoss ok, there's probably a cleaning team washing it after each flight, who's the team for the cybercab?

@allie__voss The only thing that leaves a sour taste is that it is a mechanized, automated process. But yes, this does seem on the whole quite humane.

I am a huge hater of abusive farming methods but this seems…totally fine to me? This looks like a very humane death

@leHoofer @voxov_tired I’m a little confused because I assumed they would result in essentially the same clustered geometry, but maybe the dynamic clustering algorithm isn’t that sophisticated. Nice performance saves though!!

@fluffmiceter @voxov_tired Here's a better photo with the parts (left image). The other thing is that cloning the meshes is obviously way faster as well. I basically softlock my studio generating this many parts. Really awesome!!!

I made a cool plugin that converts studslop parts into single-use meshes! I do this mostly for streaming performance reasons, and this makes the process WAY faster.

@leHoofer @voxov_tired Would it actually be worse though? Isn't this plugin essentially pre-compiling what the clustered rendering system would be generating anyways?

@voxov_tired Great question! I believe draw calls would be substantially worse, yes. I'm mostly doing this for streaming purposes, clients unfortunately experience a ton of lag when streaming in instances so this is kind of my middle-ground solution. I can do some profiling!

@SamaHoole I'm at the stage where now I'm reassessing the soap I wash my body with and my skincare routine has dropped down to just water and eating healthy fatty beef. Also replacing all of my LED light fixtures with incandescents 😂

How you evolve after researching seed oils for the first time: Month 1: "I'll just switch from vegetable oil to olive oil for cooking" Month 2: "Wait, what oil is in this mayo?" Month 3: "I'm reading every ingredient label now" Month 4: "Do you know what they fry these chips in?" Month 5: "I can't eat anything at this restaurant" Month 6: "I bring my own salad dressing to restaurants" Month 12: "I interrogate waiters about what oil they use to wipe down tables" Month 18: "I'm researching the supply chain of my toothpaste" Month 24: "I called the manufacturer to confirm their machinery isn't lubricated with soybean oil" It all starts so innocently.

@RetroCoast @Kaizerrev Men of the past had it easy, they by default grew up in an environment where they could eat real meat and animal fats, were raised in a Christian society, were not bombarded with propaganda from the moment they could read. For us in 2026, we need to consciously choose that.

@RetroCoast @Kaizerrev It shouldn't be "looks"maxxing in the superficial sense, it should be healthmaxxing. Take care of mind, body, soul, get rid of all the crap they feed you whether it be crap "food", demoralizing crap media, etc. Eat real food, go outside, be active, everything else will follow.

Nick Fuentes says 2026 is the year of the Lock In. Nick calls on every WANGHAF & Groyper to Looks-Max & go to the Gym.

@Tetoberry @NBinted Japanese people do celebrate Christmas lmao. Source: am Japanese

@NBinted Chuds when not everyone celebrates christmas

oh my god

@SandyofCthulhu I would translate shoganai as “that’s too bad”. Feels the most similar in terms of meaning and usage.

My best friend since childhood is a professional translator of Japanese to English. He’s done this for 50 years. He does legal contracts, newspapers, and academic articles where the absolute precise meaning MUST be delivered. Your lazy ass saying “it’s hard. English doesn’t have a word for Shoganai.” What a loser. Explain shoganai with more than one word. Precision is 100% possible. Japanese aren’t aliens from another world.

@TheNexusAvenger There's probably other ways of refining the results and ironing out mispredictions, like if a player is predicted as being in a certain group, but in a given server it is able to chat with several players of some other known group, then you could correct the misprediction

@TheNexusAvenger seed, and you can re-calculate player ages and simply discard the result that has a higher "distance" value in favor of the lower distance. Over time, the number of 99.9% accurate predicted age players will increase and eventually every player in a playerbase will be known.

I've been vocal about this update due to the implications for communities and privacy norms. It's time for an addition: this update will allow *developers* to figure out the ages of players. Below is how, and spoiler - it isn't that hard. thenexusavenger.io/article/42/rob…

#roblox #robloxdev Roblox age estimations will allow games to map out the ages of their players with effectively 100% accuracy. This is a serious issue.

@financedystop I find that the more I see through the facades of modern society, the more I find joy and beauty in nature, family, building upon them and fighting to preserve them. Homesteading, community building, learning a craft. Focusing on things that are close to home.

This guy makes the claim that being ‘aware’ is more of a curse than a blessing

@jammasterjamman @escapefrommelos Is there an advantage to using cast iron lids versus just borrowing a glass lid from another pan? I recently bought a 12” lodge pan but don’t have a cast iron lid

@escapefrommelos I'm too late but yeah. gotta feed a big family

“no bro trust me, this toxic nonstick is different, its safe cause it has like, ridges bro” people will do anything and fall for any gimmick instead of just using a stainless steel pan

@tom_jiahao @itechnologynet @PTrubey Wouldn’t omitting a palm camera also free up additional space in the hand for more degrees of freedom in the palm or more advanced actuators? Seems like a tight squeeze to fit everything in there

It's information theoretic. Obviously a camera can't replace tactile sensors 100%. But a large part of tactile sensors' role is to solve occlusion, which camera is great at if placed correctly. And these sensor modalities can compensate each other. Check this out x.com/i/status/19873…

Tesla is in another "lidar vs vision" debate, this time with their Optimus bot. Tesla infamously doesn't use lidar for vehicle self driving, something the chattering classes used as a rhetorical weapon against it. Two bot companies (Figure, Sunday) have palm cameras, but Tesla doesn't and won't. It's the same philosophy as to why they didn't use lidar. The eventual end goal is low cost, so eliminate anything that isn't ABSOLUTELY necessary. Using a palm camera will speed up training, but it's also a crutch that defers tackling harder problems that you'll eventually want to solve anyway. Finally, humans don't need palm cameras. Tesla will be vindicated with their vehicle self driving decision, and will also likely be vindicated with this one too. It may slow down Tesla's production launch, but they'll end up with an inexpensive, high volume solution that reliably works in more situations.
