@SK_Jynx Mirrors my experience as well, on the engineering side it took 4 queries to make it stop hallucinating 2 numbers. A google search would have been 10x more efficient.

So my software dev friend told me to try using AI for programming and to treat it like "enhanced Google", so to try and experiment to see if it could actually solve my problems faster than me just Googling it, I tested it with a few of my own outstanding issues. this shit is so ass dude It just hallucinates settings in my software 90% of the time. Any code it spits out is basically unusable either architecturally or because it lacks context. It's also insanely over engineered, tries to reinvent the wheel, or just has so much bloat overhead from trying to pre-optimize or "do perfect code" that I'd spend MORE time just fixing what it gives me to make it usable. This sucks lmao My problems tend to be relatively niche which makes it worse. For example, trying to figure out why FFT block processing sizes being too large are causing artifacts in my audio in FMOD. Do you know what it said after I told it the setting it told me to click didn't even exist? (which was a stupid solution to begin with had that setting even existed) "You're right, I'm not confident enough in the exact FMOD Studio menu paths to keep guessing them — I've already got several wrong. Let me look this up properly." Then proceeds to just give me Google results I've already seen. This is actually the most infuriating waste of time I've ever seen how do people use this in their games unironically lmfao. Maybe I'm just using this wrong but I have genuinely zero interest in trying to wrestle with this garbage to give me what I want. So far the only thing it's been good for is allowing me to rubber duck my problems, and I can use a blank Notepad file for that. It has in fact solved zero of my questions. Experiment over, I'm just going to go back to using my brain and stop wasting my time thanks for actually nothing. 🙄

@jonkellerdev You may be picking up on the game's unique lighting engine. Since this isn't UE5, i had read they use their own raytraced planar interpolation, and it behaves quite uniquely.

Crimson Desert might be the most fake looking video game yet. Like everything just seems 100% artificial and out of place, like it doesn't really exist in the game world. 3D artists please explain, because I can't quite pinpoint why I feel this way.

@chromaspring When you get to the point that you're doing things requiring blender not being free, you should be getting paid for that time. Nothing in blender is broken, but if you're requiring more 'efficiency', you're looking at it from a productivity viewpoint, not a bottom-line viewpoint

It really isn't when you get to a certain point

@stats_feed What site is this?

@Mitch202011 @mysteriouskat @AinsworthKeith @RepHaridopolos If you're actually curious, it's there to prevent the US's much larger dairy market from flooding the Canadian market and crashing it at extremes, but still allowing a large leeway to sell the product before a tariff kicks in.

@mysteriouskat @AinsworthKeith @RepHaridopolos Then why should that tariff exist at all?

If tariffs are so bad, why are other countries’ tariffs so good? 🤔 Asking for a friend

@SiPIllustration @SonySantaMonica amazing work as usual!

Charcoal pencil drawing complete after 75 hours! This is Kratos - God of War! Nice to draw a portrait this big at size A2, I can really pick out all the wrinkles and skin pores 👌🏻 I hope you like it! Original and prints now available on my website! @SonySantaMonica

@BlenderMadeEasy @YouTube Fun! I didn't know you could export the toolpath. Here's my go at it:

@kludge1977 @makersmuse Also look for cans of primer that say "high build primer" as those are thicker and will fill the cracks similarly.

I watched a video from @makersmuse where Angus used 'bog spray' or automotive spray filler on PLA prints. I'm having trouble finding the equivalent named product I see most people I follow using Bondo. Is there a spray product in the US that folks are using?

@deyhit1 @ironmouse they recorded it afaik, and are taking steps to try to get it online. They wanted to stream it but were denied from what i gather.

@ironmouse Did they record or stream it?? This is my favorite yearly pannel every year to watch

This is absolutely insane. Thank you all so much for coming to the panel I had so much fun! Thank you so much for supporting us every year and taking time out of your day to come see us! I love you guys! I will keep on working hard so we can make more memories!💖

@FredHache @cbcjones You can "lead a pack" and still lose the race :P

@cbcjones Love how those two articles are back-to-back on the app this AM. "Leading the pack" eh?

The New Brunswick government has declared the province to be “leading the pack” on housing even though it finished sixth per capita among provinces in residential construction investment in 2023 and is seventh in new housing starts so far in 2024. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

@scottjohnson PSN is only in 69 countries of 190. Most of africa except SA, etc.. it's a lot of people.

@scottjohnson Some people can't legally have a psn account because of where they live, but have the game purchased.

@scottjohnson The letters in between are usually a reference to the situation .. between H and L -> "JK" (just kidding"), T and U -> Y ("why?"), etc..

A few photos of the eclipse. Caught a solar flare too.

@DarnellTheGeek @Rainmaker1973 yeah, that surprised me. In Canada most residential homes swing inwards for that reason (also the hinges are safer inside). Public places still swing out for safety reasons (crowds)

@scottjohnson @HowThingsWork_ read their bio.. "Also all the best news & viral content from around the globe" .. so like all the other accounts chasing for clicks.

A man attacks a judge in court today after she denied his probation! 🚨& now the list of 170 associates of Jeffrey Epstein is has just dropped.. Who thinks 2024 is going to be a WILD year? 😅

@KenFromChicago @scottjohnson You can't legally get a patent if there's a prior design existing when you patent it. So it would be able to be challenged if someone were to use the same technique. In this case, Scott is saying the technique already had been used, so the patent is meaningless.

@scottjohnson The technology or the patent?
