[2017-11-30. : 1:07 am] outlawpoet -- "This allows exogenous and endogenous metabolites to be visualized in 3D with subcellular resolution." this seems big though[2017-11-30. : 1:03 am] Suicidal Insanity -- outlawpoetoutlawpoet shouted: it's a bit specific, lol That's where science has headed these last decades  100 years ago, if you were an expert in 2 fields it would be "biology + chemistry"; Now its 1 field like "Quantum chromo dynamic simulations"[2017-11-30. : 1:00 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: ummm, for 59 $US I don't think I'm gonna read that I may be able to generate 1 time links to the article when I am at work. If anyone is actually interested in all that biology  [2017-11-30. : 12:55 am] Suicidal Insanity -- One work related thing I can show off: http://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4504 <- fancy paper[2017-11-30. : 12:55 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: did you respond with "well feel free to donate [link_to_give_SI_money]" Naw[2017-11-30. : 12:54 am]  Vrael -- did you respond with "well feel free to donate [link_to_give_SI_money]"[2017-11-30. : 12:54 am] Suicidal Insanity -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: I'm guessing FMP and extended terrain were inspired by UMS advances I'm fairly sure extended terrain and fancy ramps and all that was used by UMS first, but melee picked up on it fairly quickly[2017-11-30. : 12:54 am] Vrael -- well I'm not quite a millionaire, but I'm definitely better off for scmdraft[2017-11-30. : 12:53 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: so you also helped to make blizz thousands or maybe even millions of dollars in additional BW revenue... which you never saw a dime of? And yet somebody once sent me an email ... "because of you and scmdraft and mapping I am now a millionaire"[2017-11-30. : 12:52 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: so you also helped to make blizz thousands or maybe even millions of dollars in additional BW revenue... which you never saw a dime of? Hell I never even broke even on hosting costs[2017-11-30. : 12:51 am] jjf28 -- I'm guessing FMP and extended terrain were inspired by UMS advances[2017-11-30. : 12:51 am] Vrael -- so you also helped to make blizz thousands or maybe even millions of dollars in additional BW revenue... which you never saw a dime of? [2017-11-30. : 12:50 am] Vrael -- did UMS have a significant effect on BW melee? like I know there has to be a little overlap but I always found the players to be mostly separate[2017-11-30. : 12:49 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: SI do you ever feel pride at how you have positively impacted all of our lives? And also ... who knows how long competitive BW would have been alive without the fancy maps that weren't possible before scmdraft came around[2017-11-30. : 12:48 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: SI do you ever feel pride at how you have positively impacted all of our lives? Its interesting... because there is situations like yours[2017-11-30. : 12:48 am] jjf28 -- you kind of need to use your full name to effectively copyright something  [2017-11-30. : 12:48 am] Suicidal Insanity -- VraelVrael shouted: do you use the handle 'suicide insanity' at your published research/talks? No but my name isn't really a secret [2017-11-30. : 12:47 am] Vrael -- do you use the handle 'suicide insanity' at your published research/talks? [2017-11-30. : 12:47 am] Suicidal Insanity -- I try to avoid it as well... then again if anyone wanted to get a vague idea of what I do they would just need to look up my published research / talks.[2017-11-30. : 12:46 am] Suicidal Insanity -- Ya randomly guessing, but I can understand not wanting to discuss work[2017-11-30. : 12:46 am] Vrael -- in a not small way, you have significantly contributed to my life despite being a quarter world away[2017-11-30. : 12:46 am] Vrael -- like, if you hadn't made SCMDraft, maybe I wouldn't have gotten into mapping which got me into programming which got me where I am today[2017-11-30. : 12:45 am] Vrael -- SI do you ever feel pride at how you have positively impacted all of our lives?[2017-11-30. : 12:43 am] Vrael -- Suicidal InsanitySuicidal Insanity shouted: Just say you are doing some sort of N dimensional minimization / fitting routine, and it sometimes gets stuck in local minima hahahaha funny I'm still in the pre-processing stages before that[2017-11-30. : 12:42 am] Suicidal Insanity -- Just say you are doing some sort of N dimensional minimization / fitting routine, and it sometimes gets stuck in local minima [2017-11-30. : 12:40 am] Vrael -- and while this project is technically on my own time it hits too close to work for me to say anything about what it is[2017-11-30. : 12:40 am] Vrael -- yeah sorry guys I know I'm being intentionally vague but I try really hard not to talk about anything associated with work[2017-11-30. : 12:38 am] Vrael -- I gotta get my ass on this leaderboard for this thing because there's some significant prize money at stake so sc 1v1 matches will have to wait (unless you're a betting man, inferno)[2017-11-30. : 12:11 am] Vrael -- until an interest can make my dinner I'm not 3d printing and that's that[2017-11-29. : 11:56 pm]  Lanthanide -- https://www.vox.com/2016/6/6/11693388/makerbot-home-3d-printers[2017-11-29. : 11:53 pm] Lanthanide -- until a 3d printer can print a ball-point pen, in 1 go, I simply don't think it's going to be of interest to the masses. maybe you can fudge it by allowing a separate ink cartridge to be supplied as a standalone piece, but the rest (metal spring, ballpoint tip, working plastic parts with very precise tolerances required) have to be printed by the machine[2017-11-29. : 11:52 pm] Lanthanide -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: also reading and writing are hugely useful for your everyday life, and in fact studies have shown that one of the main reason that deaf children in past times have been slow learners is that human brains are wired to work with a verbal language, and if you're deaf you don't pick that up (deaf people 'think' in sign language) that is to say, deaf children don't pick up verbal langugage naturally, they have to be explicitly taught sign langugage. once they know sign langugage, they're generally no less smart or capable than their hearing peers[2017-11-29. : 11:50 pm] Lanthanide -- but the same is not true of 3d modelling - humans aren't ants for example[2017-11-29. : 11:50 pm] Lanthanide -- so communication is wired-in to human brains, hence 2d printers are a natural tool that the masses can pick up, and would want to pick up[2017-11-29. : 11:50 pm] Lanthanide -- also reading and writing are hugely useful for your everyday life, and in fact studies have shown that one of the main reason that deaf children in past times have been slow learners is that human brains are wired to work with a verbal language, and if you're deaf you don't pick that up (deaf people 'think' in sign language)[2017-11-29. : 11:49 pm] Lanthanide -- also the learning curve for 3d printing is simply much greater than that for reading and writing (which is basically what you need for a 2d printer - typing just makes you faster at using the skill)[2017-11-29. : 11:48 pm] Lanthanide -- ok, now maybe if 3d printing becomes an intrinsic part of daily life, so that people are taught 3d modelling skills when they are children, it could be used by the mass market. but I think it's a chicken-and-egg problem[2017-11-29. : 11:44 pm] Lanthanide -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Lanthanide people have 2d printers, but most people aren't painters. There's more uses than just to print a prototype. I guess it depends on how versatile these things will become. If all you can print are plastic figurines there won't be a big market, but if you can print most common household objects I see it taking off. the skills required to print something in 2d are in no way comparable to skills required to print something *useful* in 3d[2017-11-29. : 11:43 pm] Lanthanide -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Lanthanide people have 2d printers, but most people aren't painters. There's more uses than just to print a prototype. I guess it depends on how versatile these things will become. If all you can print are plastic figurines there won't be a big market, but if you can print most common household objects I see it taking off. but multiple household items are made from all different types of plastics, for strength, looks and usage reasons. many of those types of plastics are simply not feasible for use in a 3d printer. also a 3d printer that creates objects by layering them up will have surface lines on the finished product, until such time as they can get 0.05mm precision when you'll be able to get a mostly smooth surface - that precision costs money. adding a separate sanding step for the human to carry out means humans won't be interested, and making a machine do it isn't really feasible[2017-11-29. : 11:42 pm] Vrael -- lil-Infernolil-Inferno shouted: ayy Vrael, fite 2nite? eyyyyyyy mayyyybeeeee, im running some stuff which takes a long time to run so I'm kinda stuck on linux since I don't have another box to play on[2017-11-29. : 10:48 pm] Suicidal Insanity -- I'm fairly sure the game goes by unit ID for melee maps as an extra filter[2017-11-29. : 9:50 pm] Suicidal Insanity -- Or was that known in korea? With building placement order[2017-11-29. : 9:50 pm] Suicidal Insanity -- I think its interesting that after 20 years engine quirks are still being discovered[2017-11-29. : 9:37 pm] Sie_Sayoka -- did they change p12 in melee or would the buildings still not be there[2017-11-29. : 9:36 pm] Sie_Sayoka -- i dont really care who the teams are i just want to play without waiting an hour |
