The normals are a bit bumpy because smooth shading only looks smooth if the geometry perfectly follows the smooth curve, it gets messed up by weird topology

Edit: near the fins on the bottle cap

I wonder what the best way to make that top surface would be, to get the shading smooth. I feel like the easiest way would be to just use a bevel shader and not a real bevel. I'm not very experienced with that sort of hard surface stuff, maybe there's a way to get higher quality geometry with a real bevel but idk how you would do that. Honestly way easier to do in cad software, bevels are just pretty limited in blender. (I remember hearing about this bevel revamp they were doing in a bcon talk about that several years ago, but it sounds like progress has been fairly slow https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/98674)

You can get the line for less than $100k here, but I'm not sure about the strength... https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/500m-Nylon-Fishing-Line-for-Freshwater_1601256967845.html

This one would be $214k, advertises 36 kg of strength (.5mm diameter braided) https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/JOF-Japan-4-Brands-300M-500M_1601056379751.html?selectedCarrierCode=SEMI_MANAGED_STANDARD%40%40STANDARD

This one would be $3.5M, advertises 226 kg of strength (2 mm diameter braided) https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Ashconfish-Braided-Fishing-Line-16-Strands_62225575567.html

Is there any reason not to? I was thinking of using nixos whenever I switch to linux on my desktop just for the sake of 'doing it properly'. I've mostly used archinstall before (home server and laptop) but it seems fairly breakable because I have no idea exactly what's doing what.

It's not that bad but I feel like fedora's probably a better option

Gotta make that configurable now

I have a snapdragon 8 gen 3 and I can't really get it to draw more than 6 watts. That would give about 20 minutes without heat dispersal I guess.

This also assumes that heat transfer from the phone is perfect, so it would really throttle a bit earlier as the outside of the phone will always be cooler than the processor.

Could put a few ice cubes in the water I guess.

If you want to specifically use Gemma 3n int4 there's Edge Gallery, an official Google app. I think it can also run some other stuff maybe if you convert it into their weird format. Also not the greatest UX honestly. Slow, crashes, doesn't save settings, etc.

It had an email for uverse at the bottom which I am pretty sure is residential? Idk

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

Arch is pretty nice because like 95% of things you would want to install are either in the official packages or on the AUR. And either way is very simple to do, you just look up "____ package Arch", see what it's called, and then run sudo pacman -S ____ or yay ____

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

What New York might look like with a double slit as your camera aperture.

What an eye might see, for comparison:

Here's a different, big double slit:

 

in the new minecraft april fools snapshot

it makes your gear degrade quicker with damage

 
 

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

 

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)
