Ask HN: Where 3D fashion designers can show their work?
Hey guys, where can I post my 3d fashion designs? Are there dribble and bechance but specialised for fashion designers?

Thanks in advance for your answers!
I just booted up my HP ZBook after replacing the keyboard. Plenty of videos about how to DIY [1]. Granted, pulling it out is not as simple as in the video (I'm not doing it every day, not every other year) and the laptop weights 3 kg but I'm not buying something that I can't service myself for basic stuff like replacing keyboard and expanding or replacing RAM and disks. I had a HP technician come to my home to replace the screen (a bad wire in the right hinge). It was included in the extended warranty, something between 100 and 200 Euro, 3 years.

I'm about to buy another spare keyboard for when it will wear out again. It's 62.99 Euro.

A lot of AV companies bootstrapped their maps off of OpenStreetMaps -- it's great anything is free, but they kind of suck. The "cost" of a company using info about me to run more efficient ad auctions is totally worth the benefit of having highly accurate maps with up to date business info with stuff like hours and direct links to their website/contact info.
Don't license plates work just as well for tracking? And if it's the person and not the vehicle, phone tracking is more accurate.
You have to clip against planes in 4D space (xyzw) before perspective divide (xyz /= w), not 3D (xyz).

This simplified sample shows Sutherland-Hodgman with 4D clipping:

The main difference is the intersect method finds the intersection of a 4D line segment against a 4D plane.

There is software that approaches barely functional after dozens of rounds of QA testing, and then there is software that is implemented on a solid foundation with care and happens to have a few bugs. Unfortunately that many bugs in a beta implies the former. I think the thread comes from a disappointment that Apple is moving from the second category to the first.
I'm not a gamer, and this is an honest question. Isn't streaming now just as good as local - assuming you have performant internet? If so, what's the attraction of running locally? Just to ticker with hardware? Running offline? Don't most all games now require an internet connection?

Not enough. Right to repair should be mandated by law, because throwing away perfectly good hardware damages our planet, so it is not just a matter of the money exchanged between the producer and the customer.
Here are few gut-check questions to ask yourself before starting your company:

- Are you willing to spend the next 7-10 years of your life on this idea?

- If you run into hard times and it’s not working out (this could be years), would you be willing to push through?

- Do you have real conviction and passion for the space or do you just want to start a company?

- Are you willing to compete against 15-20 competitors with the same idea, and do you think you will win? Why will you win?

- Is your personal network supportive of you starting a company?

- Do you have sufficient savings set aside to sustain you while you fundraise?
Sorry for that, I found the root cause, unfortunately it'll be a bit before that's fixed, I guess (depends on action on behalf of Spotify).
I recently chose Electron over Tauri for the same reasons. Tauri would be a better fit for my app in some respects but it's a music player and Safari doesn't support all the audio formats I care about.

I've really gotten into upscale herbal teas and mocktails.

I was recently at a very small but upscale restaurant and they had a no-alcohol dinner flight pairing that was fantastic.

There is so much variety and no downsides!
What a nonsense.. there are millions of people drinking alcohol sporadically and are doing fine. I don't think there are that many people sporadically consuming crack and are doing fine. Now I guess you can define harmful in many ways and I didn't read the study and probably won't.
> GPT-3 emulating the style of the Q&A answers you gave it

Yes, that's exactly what it does. And it is:

> a program that can tell you that you’re asking it the wrong question

The OP was claiming that this is not possible right now. Not true.

> I don’t really see (...) GPT-3 is actually engaged in a conversation

GPT-3 is not an agent. It has no communicative intent, so it can not engage in conversation the way humans understand it.

> I don’t really see (...) evaluating the sufficiency of the questions it’s receiving

I don't understand what you mean. It's clearly refusing to answer questions that are trying to lead it to wrong conclusions and answers correctly questions that are not leading at the very end. Like % of water or why people ask misleading questions.

> While the military help that the EU is giving Ukraine is great

It seems adequate. Europe is helping Ukraine and putting pressure for a quick end to the conflict.

The real question is why is the US helping so much to the point Ukraine is refusing to negotiate. Part of me thinks it’s actually advantageous to them to weaken both Russia and the EU.
I was exited for Sandman. It had the potential to be very good, good actors, good budget, decently long timeline, etc. Unfortunately it got "Netflix'd" and suffers for it. It's kind of bland and boring. Visually it's not very interesting and the music is alright but could have been lifted from something else entirely. Listen here [1]

The best comparison I can think of is the BBC's Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Similarly fantastic source material, the show had a lower budget but is far more interesting to watch and that comes down to set design, cinematography, editing choice, etc.

It's like the Sandman production crew picked the safest possible choice at every opportunity.

Hi carvking! The database can be used completely without our own cloud hosted product (for which there is a waitlist on the site). We're still a little bit away from offering our cloud hosted product, but the product itself can be downloaded, tried, hosted, and hacked on without waiting for our hosted cloud version.

We're definitely not into the 'signup to our waitlist' product, just for marketing purposes. It's only there as some users expressed an interest in registering for it, as they didn't want to run SurrealDB themselves. Just to reiterate, all of our hosted cloud functionality is and will be available in the product which anyone can download and use for free :) !

still:

Branding. Netflix is simply more interested in furthering their brand and associated content than the artistic value of their content.

This isn't really any different than traditional movie producers or record labels developing cohesive content.

No, not yet, and probably never.

I signed up for Stadia and was really impressed with it. I played dozens of hours of Destiny 2 and really enjoyed my time.

Then I installed Destiny 2 on my home computer and streamed it to my work computer. (I got permission, it was during lunch, etc.) The lag was noticeably less.

Likewise, I had the LOTR Lego game installed on my home PC, and streamed it to a laptop in the same house. The lag on the timing-related events was absolutely noticeable.

Sure, you can play from the cloud and have a lot of fun, but it's definitely not as good as playing locally, and can't be because of the lag.
Phones: I gave my Samsungs and Sonys to shops close to home and got them back after a couple of days.

Laptops: I either pay for HP's next business day support (they come to my home) or, for old unsupported models, I replace parts myself. As I wrote in another commend, I replaced this keyboard less than half an hour ago.
"There is always too much information; the problem is knowing what to believe." - Quote from a spy novel I read a long time ago; I may have butchered the quote a bit.

Anyway, the point is, there is data out there that leads to pessimism. Absolutely. There's plenty of it. There is grounds for pessimism.

But there is also data that leads to optimism. There's plenty of it, too. So you choose your belief by choosing which set of data to pay more attention to. (Except it's not that simple. You're choosing which set of data you think is more credible, or more relevant, or more important, or reflects a more accurate picture of the situation. But there still is an element of choice - you choose which data set to pay more attention to, and that data set usually winds up being the one you consider more valid.)
It's a constant war, and most people don't care.

The options are thus

1) Pay big bucks to avoid it (buying 42" monitors rather than 42" TVs)

2) Do clever things to work around it via cat and mouse (pihole, blocking traffic, wire mesh, desolder the 5g modem, etc)

3) Persuade people to care, so that a company starts building TVs at more reasonable prices but without the data capture

But is it what the post claims? Dark, overly saturated, lit with neon colors, caked on makeup and puckered seams in the costumes? I don't see any of that in their sole "example"

It doesn't help that their example has, like, 10 pixels. Guess the pixel factory ran out when they got their screenshot.
The cameras are a total red herring. Any competent DP can get any looks they want (short of maybe 70mm IMAX) with any of those cameras.

The issue lies elsewhere.
For the record, I'm very much anti Tory, very much a promoter of vaccines which work and very much a promoter of being able to understand and question statistical analyses in a consistent way.

People can place words in my mouth but they are not true. I'm an educated individual with a strong understanding of statistical analysis, scientific modelling and was asked to give advice of the validity of the tools used to construct report 9. I reported them to be as broken as I feared with evidence and then the action on this was strictly political in the UK after advising govt committees.

The basic right of not getting arrested for traveling in the British countryside or the ability to go and earn a living without government intrusion in all factors had been removed for several months and the thought of being able to congregate in a small group to simply discuss something like the works of Shakespeare was for a time effectively illegal.

The fact these rights were restored has nothing to do with them being removed en masse. I'll note whilst still allowing private flights into the country without restriction as long as you were bringing in than £50k to the country(!).

I'm not talking about the USA. Nor do I care to here. I'm not talking about any political party here, again nor do I care to. I'm not taking about anti scientific rigour or scientific discussion here, not do I care to. And nor do I care to discuss statistical illiteracy in any way shape or form.
For me the biggest issue in modern movies and tv isn’t the “Netflix aesthetic”, but the overwhelming prevalence of what I think of as the perpetual golden hour.

It used to be that by virtue of the golden hour being necessarily a very short slice of time in which physical sets could make use of that especially dramatic lighting it was only used it some scenes. Now it feels like every outdoor scene in every film is shot with that lighting because it’s all just CGI and they can make the light look however they want. The result is a massively distracting (to me) effect of the lighting looking over-engineered, I guess I’d call it? It seems like every single scene is either a night scene or shot at 6pm on a sunny summer day. It’s more off-putting than badly done cgi.
Yes, it’s possible. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TDYoo7TGNcw&t=7m45s

Tauri has "Other Bindings" on the roadmap, but, for now, this requirement is big limitation. imo, the article should have lead with that instead of burying it at #4.
Pay for games? They shove ads in them, game engines even have support for this.

Pay for subscription services? They show you ads for their own shows at best or half a minute of paid advertising before every episode at worst.

Pay for anything at all? They track everything you do whether you pay or not. Worse: now they know you have disposable income since you're spending money on frivolous entertainment. The value of your attention just went up and so did the opportunity cost of not advertising to you. The more society pays, the more annoyed the executives get at the money they're leaving on the table.

What society needs to do is make advertising illegal. Just straight up prohibit it, consequences be damned. No buts, no compromises.

The concern is not so much about the fluoride losing an electron, but about whatever reacted to it stealing electrons from the reactor.
It should be mentioned that "advertising" is not "showing an ad". it is collecting and selling detailed information about people's activities and behaviors.
I first heard about network styles listening to Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould on the _Better Call Saul Insider_ podcast. Many studios have them.

A unified style streamlines production at the cost of artistry. A typical television episode has just a few days to film. So the more creative a crew becomes in their framing, lighting, audio recording etc. the less time they have to move through the shot list. It takes a talented (and expensive) crew to make this magic happen within 5-10 days.

It's to the credit of Sony and AMC that they gave Marshall Adams et. al. the flexibility to make a masterpiece out of _Better Call Saul_. But it was expensive and risky. Not every script justifies that risk and expense. Without a style guide to fall back on I think we would see fewer series overall.

Not sure about this. Firefox and Opera both support 720p.

But, because of their choices here - or the terms of the content deals they've signed, idk - Netflix doesn't get as much money from me as they could. 720p is not sufficiently better than 480p (to me) to warrant paying them for 'standard' service, let alone their premium tier at $20/mo. So I just get their basic service.

Their loss, really, although collectively the Linux customer base is probably tiny enough that it's inconsequential to them.
It seems that they also collect email addresses directly from git repositories: my email address isn't publicly visible on GitHub (in the user profile, that is) or similar services, yet spam with those developer-related products still arrives sometimes (e.g., some kubernetes-related "napptive" thingy, postgrest-related "subzero"). Asking spammers to stop spamming probably won't have much of an effect though.
But it wouldn't be inconvenient if they banned more stuff?

Talk me through your thinking here, because it's not obvious to me and seems like a very poor post-hoc rationalization.
I wonder if anyone has successfully used it to create library documentation. Obviously you'd have to tweak whatever output you get but can GPT-3 provide a substantial starting point?

I found it in FAQs and then Risks
Not immune. The author is saying the scientific community doesn't have outsized problems vs other professions or compared with religion (i.e. at most as bad as).

> I don’t think there’s a demonstrable pattern of high-profile scientists or science advocates getting away with destructive, narcissistic behavior (at least no more than in other professions)

"at least no more than in other professions" is the key.

> Maybe Scientism is simply better at ego-maintenance than its religious analogs

> Of course, Scientism still has some of the common failure modes of religion. There is plenty of hatred for the outgroup (looking at you, r/skeptic). And its image of man as the “apex intelligence” of the universe has arguably led to some existential risk.

> But all that aside, I’m beginning to think of Scientism less as a perversion of science, and more as an evolutionary leap in religious culture

So the basic thrust is because scientism has the go modulating aspect of religion but not as much of the ego maximizing, scientism is better than releigion.

That being said, I think the author doesn't really dive into all the ego maximization that does happen (awards, success in industry, credentialism, chasing monetary rewards, etc). However, all of that happens in a religious context too (in Catholicism for example, Bishops, Cardinals, the Pope, etc). "And its image of man as the “apex intelligence” of the universe has arguably led to some existential risk." comes up even worse in a religious context ("So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them", "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything."). Funny how human-generated philosophies always privilege our own space in the universe. It's almost as if game theory would accurately predict such an outcome.

Snowflake is a data warehouse in the cloud. In the past, companies would have spent a fortune on Oracle or Teradata licenses and a fortune on on-prem hardware to run it on. Now they spend it on Snowflake and run it on AWS, etc. Same story as with any SaaS product - cheap and easy to get started, only pay for what you use, but over time the costs........get big.
I find this incredibly hard to believe, especially when it's not hard to find people that buy houses for the sole purpose of renting them out[0]. In order to ensure you at least break even in the short term, you'd need to charge a rent at least equal to the mortgage + property tax.
The best way to understand this is as performance art. The true masterpiece is how the artist convinced his sponsors to pay for it.
Or how about opening everything up and releasing all the models as open source?

Since even with these price decreases, lots of competitors are out there with more parameters and are open source, and are already matched or just as good as GPT-3 and are generally running OpenAI's pricing to the ground.

Might as well open everything up since you can't compete with free anyway.

The fact that people are actively destroying themselves via multiple vectors does not mean that each vector isn't existential.
I agree with this. If you're a regular social drinker it requires quite a bit of self-reflection and lifestyle adjustment to stop drinking entirely, which is the hurdle a lot of people face. But anecdotally/personally I find that it's immensely worth it.

Might still have a glass of bubbly in celebration of something or enjoy the occasional wine tour at a vineyard, but I have no real intent to continue drinking regularly. The health tradeoffs aren't worth it to me.

Note also that unfortunately it seems women are much more sensitive to the risks of alcohol than men. I'm not a big fan of this "mommy needs her wine" culture we have.
There are definitely many better ways of doing this, it’s more of a thought experiment.
Alcohol is doing damage at scale vs crack which is doing damage to a much smaller set of individuals. See drunk driving deaths vs crack driving deaths.
