Things of Your Day

Hydraulic Press Channel never went anywhere. They have new videos constantly. I’ve watched them all.

In all the discussions of edges to cats I’ve been telling a lot of people about yahoo’s open_nsfw. I use it at work sometimes to find porn on phones and stuff.

The best use of this tech is obviously to make images “NSFW”.

This channel is strangely entertaining.

Here’s something interesting - Turns out that while they obviously didn’t use the name, Elite Dangerous’s Star Forge semi-procedural generation system reasonably accurately predicted the Trappist-1 system before it was discovered. The big difference is that the Star Forge threw in a couple of moons, and we don’t know if there’s actually moons there yet - but it got the right number, position, and reasonably accurate orbital timing of the planets.

This is super cute, it looks like they are using a custom FaceRig and either redubbing with a voice actress or the streamer is a voice actress? Doing a little research but my Japanese reading is mediocre at best.

If I had to guess, they’re running FaceRig using a custom model made in Live2D. I had looked into that sort of system for an upcoming project, but decided to just use Adobe Character Animator since I was only gonna work in simple 2D.

The Superwog team brings the authenticity again.
Australian humour that has gone unappreciated for ages, glad that it has a presence on the Internet.

We’ve found it–the absolute worst (er, best?) of Kickstarter pitches.

As I’ve said before and will probably say for the rest of my life. I am infatuated with law and the practice thereof. So this is right up my alley. This is a more or less random video from my actual thing of the day. His entire channel. This is a copyright attorney specializing in internet/digital issues related to copyright. As far as I can tell he just goes around and breaks down the public portions of current lawsuits. So you can understand them if you havne’t passed a bar or been around the legal block. Even if you have done those things, he did the legwork for ya.

I saw that guy a few weeks ago when he covered the Romine Brothers’ pathetic attempt to keep their lawsuit against Jim Sterling afloat. I recommend his channel as well.

The following video is a two panel panel of commercials, theme songs, and other copyright stuff.

Only 5 violations, go figure.
