Achai @achai.bark.how · 05/10/2026thank god for physical media. I get to use this for art reference purposes and they can't take it away from me 1110
Achai @achai.bark.how · 04/10/2026hair roots are now follow the surface normal of the head. gotta figure out the best way to add some friction to keep the roots from slowly sliding down the head due to gravity on the shafts (as expected). 1130
Achai @achai.bark.how · 04/10/2026Google says the high for the rest of the week is a flat 92°F btw there's a fairly big difference between 92°F (33°C) and 101°F (38°C) lol 180
Achai @achai.bark.how · 04/10/2026The problem is that it already looks kinda similar to last years pic :( 37112
Achai @achai.bark.how · 04/10/2026go fuck yourself stackexchange i literally have not touched this shitass website. the fuck are they blocking residential IPs for 381
Achai @achai.bark.how · 04/10/2026issuing an in-heat advisory bc its hotter than usual out here ;) #furryart #nsfw 🎨: @belwulf.bsky.social 118233
Achai @achai.bark.how · 03/10/2026MS-01 with an i9-13900H, 96gb of RAM, 2 AMD GPUs (for video enc/dec, TB4 enclosure for "portability"), five network interfaces (2 10gbps SFP+, 2 Ethernet, and WiFi), two SSDs (2TB for Linux, 1TB for Windows 11), and a USB4 SSD enclosure. This mess sits on my living room floor. At least it's quiet. 040
Achai @achai.bark.how · 03/10/2026picked up a decent 165Hz portable monitor from microcenter. uses a single USB C cable for power, display port, and USB hub. a bit less stressed about the interview now since I can bring my mini PC. 2170
Achai @achai.bark.how · 03/10/2026getting somewhere. adding more hair works and it's stable. randomized colors so it's easier to see. gotta increase linear dampening and mass on the roots so they don't slide around due to gravity on the hair shafts. after that, compute shader to create the hair geometry. 160
Achai @achai.bark.how · 02/10/2026i spent my entire day getting this to work and I genuinely had a fucking awful time. it's needed to constrain the roots of the simulated hair to the wolfman head surface. fuck geometry! FUCK GEOMETRY! FUCK BARYCENTRIC COORDINATES. FUCK 1110
Achai @achai.bark.how · 01/10/2026like it does actually work. there's just so much to do because I need wrappers for every node and expression, which is very time consuming. and the type system is a bit wacky because of Just Blender Things. i also have to somehow handle multiple blender versions :( 110
Achai @achai.bark.how · 01/10/2026wish I could write this instead of dragging out nodes. i want to finish Geolog but at the same time the code is an unmaintainable 3,000 line clusterfuck of Prolog 180
Achai @achai.bark.how · 01/10/2026@bnewbold.net the us-east relay is pretty much on dial up. been having issues over the last ~30hrs. reconnecting sometimes helps, but it's unstable. 250
Achai @achai.bark.how · 01/10/2026connection continues to randomly die . that remaining 3.6mbps is from the bsky moderation label stream. 120
Achai @achai.bark.how · 01/10/2026hey so guess what i figured out 3DS gyro by hitting numbers with a rock!! ...apparently Nintendo calibrated the 3DS gyroscope using a record player. it's 78rpm in degrees/s. and according to switchbrew, joycons are also calibrated to 78rpm. 1111
Achai @achai.bark.how · 30/09/2026just hit ctrl-c over and over again until it gets a good connection. we're so back 091
Achai @achai.bark.how · 30/09/2026ran it back to back. sometimes the connection is slow, other times it's normal. live traffic should always be 16mbps (2M) it's a networking issue and may be out of my control. i may have to bother some bsky devs because this is quite abnormal. 130
Achai @achai.bark.how · 30/09/2026currently out of my control. look at the speed column. full replay cursor, current cursor, and live data. for some reason the firehose is trickling data at slower than real time speed. 130
Achai @achai.bark.how · 30/09/2026he looks a little goofy in UEViewer but he's still boyfriend material 2140
![// Raw values from 3DS (HIDUSER_GetGyroscopeLowCalibrateParam, HIDUSER_GetGyroscopeRawToDpsCoefficient):
// gyro_coeff = 14.375
// y.pos = 6726
//
// raw is the unknown unit from the gyroscope.
//
// pos is in `(raw * deg) / s`
// gyro_coeff is in `raw` (ASSUMPTION: wouldn't make sense to _lose_ accuracy, since we get an integer)
//
// pos / gyro_coeff == 467.89 deg / s
//
// ASSUMPTION: ceil the value to 468, assuming the factory gyroscope calibration is close to ideal.
//
// Could be a multiple of something? Factor it.
//
// 468 / [2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] == [234, 156, 117, 78, 52, 39, 26, 13]
//
// 36 is the highest factor of 468, which is suspiciously 360-shaped.
// What is it in revolutions per second?
//
// gcf(468, 360) == 36; so 468/36 == 13, 360/36 == 10
//
// 468/360 == 13/10 == 1.3 revolutions per second.
// 1.3 rps * 60 s == 78 revolutions per minute??
