@chhopsky @CrimCyph @CombatCube Was there a way to diagnose this before swapping out the CPU or was that the endpoint of diagnosis where you're swapping out parts one by one until the error goes away?

thank you everyone who participated in the debugging session! the correct answer was "faulty CPU", as guessed by @CrimCyph and @CombatCube there were a lot of very intelligent lines of thinking and smart questions, however: sometimes parts just break in weird ways! very few people actually asked what CPU it was, and it was an AMD 5950X which if you know, was kinda famous for having weird issues. there's no real consistency to the way in which they create problems, so it's nearly impossible to get a line on whether the problem you have is caused by it. at the end of the troubleshooting, the CPU was swapped out for an older 3900X, and then the issue went away. we RMA'd the 5950X for a new cpu and it was fine after that. the important lesson here is that "failure" isn't a black and white case. anyone who's worked corporate IT knows that even something as simple as swapping network cables can often eliminate intermittently appearing issues. it doesn't matter if you can't find a logical reason for the behavior you're seeing - what you need to do is isolate it, and kill it. and remember: this cpu passed all prime95 torture tests and survived being flatlined during UE5 compilation 100% on all cores for 2.5 hours. it wasn't enough to simply heat it or work it hard. some specific thing in that specific case hit an error it couldn't handle. weird. oh well! it works fine now :)

@chhopsky If by open room you mean an open area for karaoke where anyone can join then no, not as far as I've seen, only private rooms.

@Spoolofwhool ooh this looks good. is it open room as well as private?

thinking about going downtown (vancouver) for karaoke tomorrow night. what's good apart from funkys? i've been out of the game too long

@LittleMammith Hunger Games ends with Katniss realizing President Coin of the rebellion is almost or just as bad as President Snow so Katniss assassinates her. Coin's failings included planning more Hungers Games to punish the Capitol and a false flag attack on her own medics.

This tweet is obviously insane but honestly I would love more "scrappy underdogs overthrow the oppressive regime" plots where the resistance is morally compromised in ways most resistance movements usually are. There are basically no examples of this in pop culture?

@contentsettings @CJTheran @headfallsoff Zahn just proposed the idea of Palpatine foreseeing invaders from another galaxy which was the recruitment pitch for Thrawn. It then comes up a few times later. I think only NJO cemented these invaders into Vong (independent of Zahn)

@CJTheran @headfallsoff Timothy Zahn! But it got mentioned in a couple different books, I suspect the EU editorial had decided on it

@korz_john @johnald42 @contentsettings @headfallsoff In Outbound Flight one of Palpatine's men tells Thrawn that Palp knows of a coming threat and Thrawn responds that the Chiss have fought the invaders from another galaxy who used completely alien tech. NJO then builds on this by making these invaders the Vong.

Has anyone made a KD Tree or Octree inside of #geometrynodes? I'm looking to use one for particle self collisions and boids #b3d

Reupload because I messed up the grass shader and they weren't shadowed

@ashlee3dee @lateasusual_ Definitely outputs negative values

@ashlee3dee Do you get to the boss fight by sliding the starting room off the map?

We are back after the holidays and releasing the first goal for charity! Come check us out Jan 20th, 2024 starting at 8am PST on twitch.tv/riftwaltz

Fun little project with Goo Engine #b3d

@ashlee3dee Not needing to carefully deconstruct an equation into a tangle of nodes will be amazing

@ashlee3dee Golems are autonomous mechs

@erindale_xyz @JacquesLucke Ah my bad. Assuming that you're doing one edge loop at a time and it has no poles along it, I think this should work. It's interpolating positions for the grid from the original face corners, and which position the face corner is adjusted first to align to the direction.

@Spoolofwhool @JacquesLucke Not about normal direction, I mean if the division is horizontal on one face, how do you ensure it’s also horizontal on the adjacent face to create a continuous loop?

Edge loops with geo nodes 👀 #b3d #geometrynodes

@erindale_xyz @JacquesLucke Ah I see. You could probably use topology nodes since face corners are usually consistent in how they're indexed around a face, but I imagine an easier method is just to compare the normal of the new face to the old and flip it if necessary if they're opposite.

@Spoolofwhool @JacquesLucke Just replaced the faces with a grid with the number of cuts already on it

@erindale_xyz @JacquesLucke How are you generating all the edge loops? Generating a closed curve and curve to mesh then aligning the points along the edge?

@JacquesLucke Yeah just merge by distance. An issue I was running into was selecting orientation I couldn’t get it consistent across edge loops – I'm sure there's probably a way with mesh topology nodes
