    Seems to work in my limited testing. Built in ubuntu, ran on arch host.

    Edit: There's also instructions for a windows build in release.yaml

    So what I like to do when trying to build a project is poke around their .github/workflows if they have any. In this case, it looks like they have the build process documented in release.yaml. Edit: I like to reference the workflows directly because sometimes the written docs aren't up to date with the actual build process. (edit edit: whoops, linked to build_test, not release, fixed)

    If you need further help distilling this into a local build script, add what platform you're trying to compile for (e.g. distro + version + cpu arch) and one of the other tildren will probably help you before I find the time to take a stab at it.

    Aaaand they already did.

    When you first load the app, you present a text summary + button choices. At a minimum, since this is the default view, it should be built in pure html + css, with the buttons being the entry point to launch the app. Maybe some js to override the default view if a cookie is present (I.e. They've already interacted with that view).

    Edit: also, while poking around search engines for Luna watermelonson I saw the demo of your robot arms, WOW!

    If you control or have access to logs of services which have strong signals to identity, you can correlate the IP logs from those with those from a hack, and potentially identify the person responsible (or at least narrow it down to a group of people, since VPNs are many to one mappings). This is a classic timing attack

    So in this case, ngrok carries a strong signal to identity and this traffic through the VPN allowed investigators to correlate him with the hack.

    I agree, and I'm actually struggling with how I'd like to process/present the data in order to better engage with it.

    Per capita income is important, as a single person making 100,000 is very different than a parent supporting a household of 4, or multiple people working and living in the same household.

    I think cost of living is important, as it directly drives what is low, medium, high income - making 100,000+ with a high cost of living isn't the same as 60000 with low costs of living. I do recognize there's different modalities here, some people can move and have choice, while others cannot. However, I don't think that's really a problem. Surely grads won't move to high paying jobs in high cost of living areas if it didn't (in aggregate, as individual situations are more complex) maximize their disposable income. People that are stuck, are largely stuck because they're starved of time and money needed to break out of their cycle. I think plotting per capita income - cost of living would indirectly reflect this mobility; put another way I don't think mobility is a confounding variable, but rather a manifestation of what we want to measure.

    Graphically, I'd probably go with box plots per year to get an idea of any given year's distribution and how it has changed over the years.

    I'm just thinking out loud, I'm not asking/suggesting you do this.

    Edit: rearranged some bits for flow

    Off hand, it doesn't paint a complete picture because it's not normalized for inflation or cost of living or multigenerational households.

    Since you're drowning in keys and having trouble giving them away, I'm morally obligated to take a few:

    • Interial Drift - you guys sold me on that big booty car sliding game

    • Skabma – Snowfall - this seems like they've worked really hard on world building and atmosphere and use the game to explore culture. It seems very promising

    • Tin Hearts - seems like a 3d lemmings with an accompanying narrative. I have a feeling the story will be a sad one. Might be a hidden gem

    For the lucky ten thousand, it's free. It helps if you a little bit of gaming history to understand references (if you actually try to progress).

    Of course a release is tagged and AUR is updated the next day -_- Which is fine, because my build, while it worked, plugins did not as I hadn't handle the python dep correctly.

    Continuing my gaussian splatting adventures, I've finally managed to get lichtfeld studio to compile on arch. Dependency, linkage, vckpg errors oh my. I've learned waaay to much about vckpg and packaging for arch in the past couple of days, but it finally works!

    Part of the push for compiling it myself is

    A) the AUR PKGBUILD is currently broken

    B) changes to reduce vram usage have landed after the last release, and it's cheaper to fight the compiler than buying more vram

    So now I'm waiting while the splat trains and I'm beyond the point where the last release would run out of memory - progress!

    I saw that too! Link to the discussion. I also saw a steam machine build based on the deskmeet x600

    Pcpartpicker doesn't have some of the more exotic parts/bundles, but there's plenty of room to golf on price and/or diy build volume if you're creative. Shucking/extending a prebuilt itx is probably the most direct approach.

    I'm half tempted to buy one and try my hand at the gamecube build now that we have omnidrive.

    I've been nerdsniped and find the whole concept of photogrammetry, gaussian splatting, and mesh generation/extraction fascinating.

    I'm trying to setup my own pipeline around open source/source available technologies, and am having a bit of fun learning. End to end, I've managed to produce a mediocre guassian splat of the Gerrard Hall data set in 1.5 hours, and have since learned about the importance of masking, not overfitting, etc.

    So I'm currently trying to find (or will make) a tool for masking with SAM3 + manual edits, after which I'll see how else I can improve my quality (short of buying a more vram).
