new skyboxes just dropped kenney.nl/assets/skybo... i wanna edit them to remove the stars and instead sprinkle triangle meshes as new stars for maximum optimization could also mess with GradientSkyMaterial which is apparently much more powerful than i thought

the ip rights thing is probably boilerplate but also interesting because like, a human isn't copyrighted, but a fursuit probably is? but then you're displaying it in public so maybe it falls under freedom of panorama (where applicable)? the photographer would have a clear shot at a dmca of course

the wikipedia article on street photography has sections on both legal concerns and ethical concerns :p they even have a chart for what's allowed where commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons... aaand admittedly the big english-native countries largely allow it

to my knowledge there's exactly One usable model that's anything like that, from 2023 huggingface.co/bigcode/star... and even they kinda gave up for version 2 (there are a few other *base* models but those aren't very usable) idk what would count as satisfactory verifiability though

that has already been kind of a thing, you just had to have each triangle as a separate object (this is how e.g. the VaLP avatar base was made, or Juicer ≈ blender lite) the new thing is "just" more optimized and less horrible to work with, now just gotta figure out what modeling should be in vr :p

i was mildly doubtful since at least the initial release predates chatgpt (and the models before that were kinda mid) luckily they're open about it in the github commits (check the description) github.com/HarbourMaste...

hi that's me! i actually made this soon after i joined resonite (that's how much it), but i couldn't find anypony willing to review it and i eventually forgot about it during the latest resonance though i found out cyro speaks it (kinda), so i couldn't *not* polish it up a bit and submit it!

yeah imagine if humans had to like, use no more than 300 characters to say something, wild right (i know it's not exactly the same, closer might be typing on a phone keyboard where a long word might get autocompleted early, similar to it being 1 token for an llm)

that's for text and maybe normal formatting, the scp wiki has elaborate custom per-article css and weird format screws and embedded html files for choose-your-own-adventure segments and oldheads who don't want to switch formats after so long

not when the people training them repeatedly give them broad internet access with internal safety measures disabled, and especially not when it's then unleashed to anypony with pocket change with incentives to have people use it as much as possible (e.g. addiction)

also resonite has an official educational tech demo where you scale from electron to observable universe, might be too abstract for sizeplay though

130

hecko @hecko.my.to · 07/09/2026

vrchat did recently allow a wider range (0.01-10000m) if you use an external program, i guess to keep it out of sight speed and collider size always remain the same though, vs in resonite they scale with you

it might still be cheaper to actually film them if they're factory-line enough i'm reminded of a video where they interviewed someone who acted in ads for Rise of Kingdoms, can't find it anymore but a major point was how many they were pumping out per day with one cast

can't wait for native toggles (action drivers), vrcfury is Fine for mesh toggles but for anything else i'm in hell (e.g. i wanted a bone that's at 0 scale by default but 1 scale when toggled on, seemingly can't do that with the dedicated scale option)

seems gboard's emoji search is now server-side, which a) for me takes several seconds to load for no good reason b) is *worse* than offline search (e.g. no light-blue heart) c) can't be disabled, but if i turn off my internet it falls back to offline search just fine

at that point why would they even have a toggle though, if they're anything like e.g. some guy at microsoft's stance that if it's on the public internet then it's to be taken

surely they wouldn't even try to claim they're entitled to clips because the *clipper* didn't opt out then again what would they claim? most streams are games or videos the streamer doesn't own, and the optics for art streams or facecam are hardly better

correction: nextcloud does have a genai integration and i don't see a way to look for providers with it disabled, koofr seems fine still though

consider if you'd be well-served by just syncing stuff to your computer in the background when on home wifi, in which case syncthing is pretty darn good if not then koofr.eu seems neat and has a free tier, or one of nextcloud.com/providers

i mean that'd make it do nothing because the discord bot that renders the embed is never logged in :p

100

hecko @hecko.my.to · 20/08/2026

it seems bewilderingly intentional, this is the metadata that e.g. discord uses to make fancy embeds which means they wanted to force login unless they send it on discord?? i struggle to think of a platform that does that on purpose

afraid this is already the case, tried with claude haiku and it got it in one (chatgpt refused but that's probably bypassable if i cared), though third-world-country humans might still be cheaper afaik it's mostly busywork to make you move your mouse so they can scan that

www.inaturalist.org comes to mind, forbids generated images not just by fiat but by nature granted "looking good" isn't as much of a priority there (heck sometimes it's just photos of feathers/etc, sometimes none at all), but phone cameras are good enough nowadays, and you can sort by favorite count

so it works better in freeform text and worse in formulaic text (extreme case: if you ask it to recite the declaration of independence then there's no wiggle room to put the watermark in, the correct next token has 99.9% probability and adjusting others by 1.1× won't change that)

000

hecko @hecko.my.to · 16/08/2026

to some extent bsky.app/profile/hugsophie.com/post… oversimplified: llm gives probabilities for the next token, watermark makes each a bit more likely if it makes the last 10 words sum to an even number in binary (not literally); in human text it's 50% odds, this [...]
