office hours. Questions. Uh,
how are you doing? Says J four.
I'm very tired. Insomnia, um, trying to resolve it. Having
considerable difficulty.
Uh, we'll fix as soon as possible. I'm tired. Um,
Jay says how are exit submissions handled?
Uh, provided you have the entitlement for them, which is based on your patreon tier.
They just go straight into a list
straight into, um, our systems.
We should probably expand that to have some sort of moderation or filtering or, uh,
review at some point.
But we currently don't have that.
If you see an exit message that, uh, breaks our guidelines or is otherwise, you know,
problematic.
Uh, do make a moderation ticket. Uh, we are able to resolve it on our end.
It's not something that we've done that many times.
Uh, but we need that information in the form of a ticket.
Uh, whilst I'm on the subject of tickets and github
issues, um,
for anyone who is considering,
um,
coming up to me or another team member in a, uh,
resonate session and talking their ear off about any particular github
issue or anything like that
for hours. Please stop.
Um,
the the biggest question you should be asking a team member
before you talk about a problem that you're having with resin.
I is.
Are you up for talking about a Reina
issue right now or or something along the lines of that?
Do you want to talk about work right now? And if they say no, you shut it.
You don't
talk to them about your resonant issue for hours. Please.
Um,
it's just it's sort of like problematic because sometimes
we'll end up stuck in like a resonant conversation.
Um,
because people see that people are being technical and then they'll
start like a sort of technical feedback loop of the conversation
and you'll end up with lots of questions being answered
most of the time.
The team members here in Resonate, they don't want to talk about issues.
And categorically, if your bug isn't a github
issue, you should not be talking to us about it if possible.
Um, I don't mind if the conversation is should I report this?
But if you know that you should be reporting
on Github and instead of reporting on Github,
you've decided to approach me and talk to me about it for an hour at 4 a.m.
I'm going to ask you politely to stop,
uh, and after a few times of asking you to politely stop if you don't,
I'm going to throw a fart grenade in your face and throw it away.
I might even send you an angry cat gif on discord.
Uh, so let's jump around. Uh, we've got some more questions.
Uh,
I particularly know I went on that rant, but there we go.
I really I know I went on that rant is
because the previous one where I wasn't live because discord,
audio problems, I gave that as a prelude.
Um, I'll talk about that more.
I'll see some, uh, follow up questions below when we get to them.
I wanna get through these questions, though.
Uh, so
cyris asked what we do do 100 mil? Um,
I answered that last week, but I'm gonna bridge it,
and I'm gonna say you put all in investments, uh,
legally and financially secure investments that are,
um,
uh, both
legally advisable and financially advisable.
Um, you don't touch
the majority of that capital and you live off the interest.
You speak to a financial advisor.
Um, and For those who say you can't afford a financial advisor, you have 100 million.
You can
you can. You can.
You can do that. You can. You can speak to a financial advisor.
Um, they will speak to you for hours with your 100 million
without getting a single cent from you,
because they know that eventually they will get a cent from you.
And it's usually what are called maintenance fees,
which are quarterly fees that you pay
out of the sort of income that the investments being generated from.
Um,
you speak to that advisor and you work out your burn rate for a year.
So you put all your expenses down into a spreadsheet
and you figure out the 12 month burn rate of money that you have,
and then you have your burn rate.
For me, it's about 40 to 50 K
, right now a year.
And so
I would look at the investment, and I would say, All right,
can these investments generate a safe and stable income,
uh, of of 40 K a year. And the answer for 100 million would be absolutely yes.
And then I would never have to work again.
Um, you wouldn't see me by a fancy car. I don't like fancy cars. Um, I think that
any car that is designed to look like it goes fast or
designed to make a lot of
noise fundamentally doesn't understand thermodynamics and,
uh, the efficiency of motors and is an idiot.
Um,
if your car makes noise,
it is representing a lack of efficiency in the engine
because both noise and heat represent energy that
is not being put into turning your wheels,
which is the only thing an engine is designed to do.
It is not designed to make loud noises outside my window at 3
a.m. whilst you have insomnia and you're trying to sleep on the couch.
Sorry. Everything keeps link
linking back to, like my nightmare night that they provide
J Ask what's the dog doing?
Um, So, like, I've said a few times,
this sort of 4 p.m. area is when people start coming home from work.
And,
um, we we live in a society where no one respects each other.
So, uh, people slam doors, and, uh,
that makes the dog bark.
Uh, so I've currently, like I put a baby gate between my front door and like Like,
they basically cut my apartment in half with a baby gate, and I've shut that.
That means he can't get up to the door.
Um, some dogs, particularly dogs bothered by noises outside an apartment,
will do this thing where they like, shove their nose into the door crack.
And like, I think they think they're like the the Terminator from Terminator two.
And then they can just, like, push their nose and they'll turn into, like,
the liquid metal and, like,
squeeze through the door and then go attack whatever's bar, uh, you know,
slamming doors at them,
but they can't do that.
So what you hear instead is like hyper snorting at the door
or just like heavy breathing into the door frame and like,
nope,
you don't need to do that, dog.
It's like if I will strong enough.
If I use all my two brain cells, I might be able to phase through this door.
Uh,
next question.
Uh, ozie says in Dev
yesterday posted something about localization. What exactly is that?
Um,
so our localization things, um, are using
they're not using a two character ISO uh, code.
They're using what's called an I ETF language tag.
So, uh, let me get you some links here.
Uh,
here we are
here. The I ETF, uh,
language tag.
So the ISTFF language tag is basically a lot of, um,
ways of representing a language which are expanded from the ISO list.
The ISO list
is, uh, the two character list.
Um, there's a two character version and a three character version.
Actually, this is long and very complicated because it's a standard,
which means it's it's complicated.
Um,
that website is the wiki page for it,
and that will give you a lot of information that is
potentially helpful. Potentially not helpful. Uh,
because it's it's this, uh, W three schools article. Not W three, W three.
Just just general
will give you additional information about it,
particularly it links to the exact section that we're talking about.
Um, So
what I am doing
was I was making sure that what I was doing was, uh, correctly in spec.
So we want to be using the private use sub tags.
So we now have the ability.
Well, it is, you know, going through testing and and other team processes,
but we'll soon have the ability you could basically be like EN US dash
X dash.
And then
you could put like a resonant user ID
or a group ID here
like this,
and you'll be able to make
overrides for local strings that are just for you.
Um,
we'll probably only release that for groups to start
with because it's linked to the universe system.
Basically, your universe is a primary group,
and then we shove that onto the current locale as an extra step.
And so then what we do is we do
overrides
language. Uh,
fallback, which is the English one?
Uh, otherwise, the the the key is displayed right?
Is that as the issue So that override one is the new one that we're adding,
Um, it's needed for business clients who, um,
they are paying us enough money for us to basically be like,
Oh, you want language tweaks in our German language file? Sure.
Um, and if those language tweaks are good, um, for the the German community,
then we would put them in the regular local file.
But in these cases, they aren't um they're just, like,
really weird hyper specific language.
which changes. And so I wanted a clean system that could allow that to happen.
And that would also turn them off when you weren't in a universe.
And that's what I came up with. Uh,
the, uh, language files for overrides will be private, um,
and only delivered to the the client that
that's got those overrides because by their nature,
it's basically leaking data.
You know, it's like
override.
Hello. As a reson user, you're cool with
Hello. As a business corporate user,
you are working for the corporate overloads
work here until you die, right?
That we can't put that in the in the main language file.
So So there you go.
I'm quite happy that, like the the I ETF spec allows for this as well.
Um, there's there's a rare time when I actually comply with the spec, right? Uh,
OK, let's move down to OK, Rexton has questions.
Um,
good evening. Yellow British technology band of the Yellow Dog Technology Clan.
I'm not yellow.
Um, it is one of my brand colours, for I am not yellow.
Um,
British Technology band would be good.
I don't think you could, like, actually assign myself a colour.
Anyway. Um,
Brexton asks, is there a way to have a potato flux? OK, cool.
Uh, a creation hold itself.
Um, if it takes too much CPU time, that should be happening automatically.
If it's not happening automatically, uh, you'll need to make AAA github
issue about that particular use case. And and remember to give us, like that proto
flux, uh, chain
like as a resonate package or
resect link so we can take a look at it.
Um,
like the while loop node and the four loop node.
Those will, like halt if there's a problem. Um, so something else
is is happening there,
and I need to see exactly specifically What is that?
Oh, there's a
issue here. Pro
Fox does not stop the execution when it's running too long.
Apparently, it doesn't do that. Cool.
The lecturer is,
um this is in reference to the the people talking
to me about their issues rather than using github.
Yeah, it happens all the time. Um,
depending on my mental state at the time, you might get, like, a particularly brash,
um, response to that.
Uh, just know that, like,
I'm exceptionally tired and you're literally going against the guidance that we
give you at every office hours and like update and every conversation.
And so if I get short tempered with you, it's because
you're the third or fourth person that wants to talk my
ear off for an hour about proto flux issues or or whatever
in in Resonate.
So just a plea before you talk to a resonate
team member about Resonate just like a quick ask.
It doesn't have to be long, complicated, drawn out. It's like
you good with speaking about work right now.
And if they say no, you shut up.
If they say yes,
that is your free golden ticket to talk their
hour of their their their ear off for forever.
Um, but if they say no,
respect their wishes and go away or you're gonna get a fire grenade in the face
from me. At least
one also doesn't understand that, um,
while
in other like industries say, for example, um, the retail or the service industry.
If I'm working at
sorry to sort of diminish this down to to retail workers,
I didn't mean to do this as a diminish.
I'm doing it as an example. Um
if I'm working in a WalMart the entire time
I'm inside that WalMart with a Walmart uniform on
you can ask me questions about Walmart products
That makes sense, right? I'm I'm in the location and I'm wearing the uniform.
I'm I'm on
duty, and I'm I'm helping you out.
However, if you saw a WalMart employee wearing a WalMart uniform
at a Burger King at 3 a.m. you wouldn't ask them where to find the cheese.
You would go to Walmart and ask someone who's actually on duty
because you would understand that the WalMart employee at a Burger King
probably isn't working right now.
Um, but because we want to, as as a team and and and everyone we want to dog food,
our own application, we want to use our application that we want people to use.
We have to basically have a situation where we're either
in resonate working or we're in resonate not working.
Unfortunately, due to my current,
um, priorities if I'm in resonate working,
I'm in a private universe and you can't see me.
And and yeah, you can make all the sort of like marvel or DC comic references you want.
There
like I'm literally in another. You I'm in the shadow realm. You can't see me.
I need to go,
you know, collect my shadow tree fragments and and up my blessing,
otherwise known as features that resonate needs,
uh, you won't see me. So when you do see me, it's highly likely
that I am not working. So just ask it if I say no Shut.
There were like,
four or five references to various things that I hope you got them all.
Uh, next question. Um,
Raid is looking to do some benchmarking of various aspects of resonate,
but that's a fairly difficult thing to do currently
until we get better
debugging tools, Yes.
Do you have anything that could be
to suggest that could be benchmarked in resin, not talking about war or avatars?
I mean
specific things, Like certain operations or
prolexic components.
Um, I would speak to, uh, ruscio,
um,
who did an amazing piece of work on debugging some, uh, proto
fucks that was occurring at a creator jam
was that
I'm just gonna say the creator jam moderation team globally
because I think more than one person was involved,
and I don't know who was involved, but they did a great job.
There was a back and forth about
it. Uh, and like we figured it out and DM is like, I can't remember what the
It was a use of fine child by name. I think that we got it down to,
uh, cyber
says with the recent, uh, but tax on
G, is there any plans to make bugs at RESONATE.COM site or
no,
uh, github
is much better at handling abuse reports than we are. Um,
and I don't mean that, like from a policy perspective.
I mean that from, like, a manpower perspective.
So there's probably, I don't know, between sort of
50
100 or so like support representatives.
It might be lower than that, but it's probably closer to that
because I'll be such a large company.
And so if you report the content, which you can now do because I turned it on,
turns out it's disabled by default.
I have no idea why.
Um,
github
will respond instantly.
Um, pretty much like I reported one of those users to, um
uh to github the
other day, and they got back to me.
I think this morning and they were like, Yeah, that that account no longer exists.
And I'm like, Oh,
um,
sorry.
I got immediately distracted because my energy provider,
my electricity providers like you'll receive a credit on your next bill.
We're giving you $200 off your next bill. I'm like, Why?
What did I do?
Here it is. Uh, so I
got a confirmation that I reported an account for them
at 9:23 p.m. yesterday.
And then, um,
at 9:45 p.m.
Um,
they deleted the account
and we can't do that turnaround.
We could probably do, like, close to that turnaround,
but we can't do that turnaround at scale and github
can do that turnaround at scale.
Um, so they're aware of the problem.
If you do a Google search for the string that those spammers are using,
they are all over github, and they are in some Microsoft repositories as well.
So you can bet github is is is looking into how to make it, um,
stuff
moving forwards, uh, Mr Dabs asking for Can someone give me context with the
github
issue? Yeah, there's apparently a bunch of bots that are just commenting on on
github issues.
They're trying to get you to download malware, so just don't download anything.
It particularly doesn't make sense because they talk about GCC,
which is a compiler for C languages.
Um, which you don't need for resonate.
So
it's pretty easiest to spot.
Uh, we'll delete it. Uh, when we see it, we'll report it to github
when we see it, and I think it will all go over in, like, a week or so because it's github
and it's happening to every single repository on github.
Uh, I was actually talking to a friend,
Uh, or did I talk to? I don't know.
I'm I'm sending a message to a friend who works on visual studio
code to ask them if they've seen those bots spam as well.
And because they are within the Microsoft
ecosystem as they still work at Microsoft,
they might have some additional solutions that they can,
uh, talk about. There might be like an internal conversation happening about it.
Um, visual studio code is a development team are very active on github,
so I know that they're seeing the problem because
I can just google it and I can see that
uh, some of those, uh, bots have been posting on visual studio code issues,
so it be good to sort of get some teamwork in.
Stormy says that, uh, their friend is a is A is a mentor.
Um, but you always ask for help. First, it's It's great,
just like it. It doesn't need to be long drawn out.
It doesn't need to be a letter like hand crafted on on personalised stationery.
It just needs to be like, Can I get some help from you right now?
And if they say no, shut up,
like disrespect their wishes.
Ask me about video games that I'm playing. Ask me about my dog.
I'll pull out like thousands of photos of my dog, and you can look at how cute they are.
If you want to talk to me like don't talk to me about work.
Electron assist your bo
track on
the
was really funny.
Yeah, I was just trying to sort of figure out like how they target it,
and it looks like, uh, it's labels that are like tagged as bug.
One of the things II I thought about
was changing our bug label to a different name for a little bit,
Um, because it's mostly automatically added,
but I didn't want to cause any confusion.
Like we don't need additional confusion for making it up issues.
We already have enough.
Uh, so here we go.
Brian plays video games. Does he have an all time favourite? Yeah, the M series.
I like it. It
it's got, like, that. Good
that, like
people just buy me missed paraphernalia now,
like Earth Mar. Um, if you know them great member of the community,
they were like his.
Here's M
three and M two ribbon
in their boxes. I found them at, like a, you know, recycling centre for electronics.
And I'm just like,
like one of the top 10,
uh,
unexpected gifts of all time where I'm like, Wow,
another one of my top 10 unexpected gifts of all time
fruits gave me this random book,
which is like a It's not written by the The Missed Creators,
but it's written by one of those sort of strategy guide, um,
book writers that existed back in those days.
Um
uh, and it's got sort of like a full, uh, riven walkthrough in it, which,
uh is great to see, I always like seeing how people word the walk through for it.
But a couple of pages at the back have got some maps
which I don't know if they're part of the actual game.
Or maybe the developer, um,
of the book or the publisher or whatever drew these maps.
But they are great maps of River Island, which I've never seen before.
So, actually, I'm gonna scan them in at some point. Um, get them up to the community.
Um, might scan the entire book, you know,
Channel my, uh,
in a Gareth 48.
For those of you who don't know Gareth, 48 a member of our community who is
archiving, um,
Japanese texture C DS. Um and
they're basically like
before you could go to a stock photo website.
Uh, you had to, like, buy a collection of stock photos on a CD
and a lot of those texture C DS textures are
actually used in the background art for Pokemon cards.
And there's an entire community.
They're out there trying to match Pokemon card backgrounds to Japanese texture.
C DS.
And it's it's fascinating when they get a hit.
There's one Pokemon I think it's Volta.
Yeah, I think it's Volta.
Uh,
OK.
It's probably like a version of the I
forgot that Pokemon cards have different versions.
There's a version of I Think Volta
or or one of the other sort of like spherical Pokemon,
Uh, that has sort of brick texture behind it,
and it turns out that that brick texture the
original photo has an American flag in it.
The reason you can't see the American flag in Volta's
picture, though, is because Volta
is so big. They've just like on top of like, another layer, like on top.
It's like on top of the American flag. It's funny,
Uh, let's move. Forwards. Uh,
yeah, there we go. Stormy has it there,
Uh, stormy says low.
Just be like, hey, wanna talk about Resonate for a minute and I'll be like, Nah, and
then you respond with How's your dog? Got more pics? I always have more pictures.
Always.
Let's move forward. Uh
oh.
I just got a question.
Uh, in the process based architecture issue,
there's a list of things that need to be redone adjusted before working this year.
No judging, uh, difficulty for, uh, a task is a
whole step in itself.
But I'm curious what you think is gonna be
the most difficult one at the surface level.
All right, I'll take a look at that.
Uh,
yeah. So, um,
custom audio is on its way. Um,
sorry. I was taking a look at, uh, audio reverb particle system hasn't been done yet.
That is the probably the next thing
that fris
will work on, Um,
once they're done with their, uh,
whatchamacallit, uh,
walking animations. Sorry. You can see. Like I haven't slept much. Um,
I'll make coffee after this. I know. I'll be fine.
Uh, so, yeah, he's probably gonna work on on on, um, that next,
um
That might also give us some, like, new particle stuff. Um, we always get that. When?
When we rewrite things to be our own.
As for most difficult, let's see what's on the list. Uh,
yeah, the top item on the list.
And the reason why I say the top item on the list is complicated is because,
uh, I know what those words mean. And I know how I would do that if it was my project,
but I have no idea how fruits is gonna do that.
And it's something that probably only fruits can do right now.
So it'll be interesting to see their their progress.
But from my perspective, that one's like solving a Rubik's Cube.
Um, whereas implement a custom particle system simulator
that's probably solving like a a slightly less hard Rubik's Cube.
It's still a Rubik's Cube.
I
don't know.
Sometimes it's just like a feeling, and it takes a while to sort of,
like figure that out.
Um,
fabric. Say what your favourite resonate moment is.
So I've I've people struggle with favourites, right?
So when you use the word favourite
people particularly like myself,
they see the word favourite and they overanalyze the word favourite.
When you say something like that,
what would you say your favourite resonate moment is, Or what would you say?
Your favourite fruit is what they actually usually mean and feel free
to correct me if you don't mean this is at the moment
in your current memory.
What comes to mind when I say the word resonate moment?
Or for fruits and vegetables and food instead of like, what's your favourite fruit?
And then over analysing it, which some people do they basically mean
Which fruit would you like to eat right now?
And then it's easier to answer.
So I'm gonna answer it like that. What's your favourite, resonant moment?
Uh, I don't know.
I enjoy working on it like, seriously, I enjoy working on it, but right now,
it's a bit of a, like, busy period.
Uh, it feels good to work on it.
It feels good to get work done,
but I kind of don't have time to stop and and think about what my favourite moment is.
Jace has ever been shortwave listening.
Uh, no.
Unless you count messing around on the AM, uh, band of my car's stereo ages ago.
AM. Slightly longer than, uh, like hobbyist radio. Though
I get kind of, like, weirded out. So
the radio frequency,
um,
spectrum
is is basically just like a list of frequencies
and
there are some that you can use.
There are some that you can't use,
and there are some that you'll get arrested for using.
And it just seems weird. Like I know why.
It's because of interference and licencing and stuff like that. I get that,
but it's like
bro,
there's a tiny circuit board on my desk that is just vibrating at
like a hyper specific frequency. And that's somehow illegal.
Like what if my refrigerator just like
malfunctions and vibrates at that frequency?
We're here to arrest you cos your refrigerator's broadcast.
You got an unknown frequency. It's like, Oh, I'm sorry.
I just use it to store my cheese.
It's strange like that.
Stormy has a question. Um,
you had the poker ball system baulked and deleted the entire world.
So, like if it's, um,
if it's a user created piece of content
that isn't part of the content team's purview,
like if it's not inside resonant essentials or
you didn't get it from an official source,
then the answer is that we're probably not aware unless
there's a get up report for the underlying issue.
Um,
it is possible to make a, uh, user creation that could do that,
and at
that point, the conversation wouldn't be.
Let's look at that specific user creation.
It would be, Let's look at trying to get hard permissions
going right,
and then maybe that would would help that matter.
Like I,
I don't I unfortunately like we we don't have time to be like this specific
item in this specific resonate public folder
is causing issues without a bug report.
Did you just tune a radio to the frequency of a refrigerator? A
ran one?
Well,
do some frequent analysis on your refrigerator and tune a short wave radio to it.
What if you actually do that right and you and you join it, You tune
your radio to the fridges frequency, and then you just hear, like,
horror game screaming sounds and you're just like my refrigerators in pain,
My refrigerators in pain.
What am I gonna do
for anyone who doesn't want to sleep?
Not that I have this problem right now because I'm already not sleeping that much.
But, um, you can look into the unidentified radio phenomenon.
There's a whole wiki for it, which I? I
predict that someone has,
um,
that wiki page will get you close,
but there's basically like,
a a database of sort of unidentified radio transmissions,
and there's a whole community where they kind of
try and go through them and processing them.
Um, you think that might be fun,
right?
Because you'll be able to like listen to weird radio noises and you'll be like, Oh,
maybe it's a strange language and I can go,
you know, post it on Reddit and help that out.
No, 90% of these unexplained phenomenon
are like
not analyzable.
From an audio perspective, they're like, clearly either rumbling or encoded data.
And so you would need to do some data processing
signal processing to figure out what their data is.
Or in some cases, they're just the tectonic plates bumping into each other
like I can't explain this. But like of similar
origin,
Um,
I used to have an old C RT TV
in, uh, my bedroom where I slept
and one night I remember because it was scary as heck.
I woke up from a sort of weird nightmare
and the TV was on
and it was tuned to static. But the static was different,
like, you know how like, uh uh, an old you know, C RT TV tune,
trying to tune to analogue nonsense.
It's basically just
noise.
This noise was somehow just there was a different quality about it.
There might have been less black pixels,
which I know doesn't make sense because it should be uniform
distribution of randomness. But like it looked like less black pixels in the noise.
And I don't know to this day, if that was part of the dream or my TV,
it actually turned itself on and tuned itself into something very close to static,
but still quite eerily not static.
Uh, Cris
have provided a good channel for unknown radio signals.
Does this guy just do a like overview of them?
Oh, yeah.
All right. This guy gets a sub from me, I'll I'll
probably never watch any of their videos because I've got, like,
thousands of videos I want to watch.
Um, but yeah, this is cool. This is the most disturbing shortwave signal ever.
Alright, let's go and watch later.
It is a bit clickbaity, though,
um, one of their videos talks about Russia's military signal has been obliterated.
And it's terrifying,
which I, I believe, would be some sort of like encoding, uh,
decryption related thing.
But their thumbnail
is a picture of siren head, with a label pointing at siren head, saying,
This is bad for Russia.
So the Clickbait there is
we found siren head right, but that's not what has happened. Guarantee it
anyway, going back to questions
uh, Rexton says Prime. Speaking of dog picks, image formats. Uh, preview stroke lo.
I can pull a one care of an eight K image.
I don't think, uh, CD N allows this, but it's interesting, isn't it?
Imagine if that tied into people's graphic settings or pros
to pull low quality emissions from the bigger one.
I've
got good news for you. That's the entire point of that entire system.
Um,
so
later on, you'll have more control over it or we'll be smarter about it. But like
the whole reason that we're generating so many variants
of an image right now is to have maximum compatibility
with, like a wide range of of hardware shader, rendering
performance implications and all sorts of stuff like that.
Um,
so you can actually already see that if you lower the like texture quality settings,
then you'll see that,
like lesser quality variants are being used and stuff like that.
So he's heard some man
or laughter. Laughter.
Uh, yeah, there's there's a tonne of, like, creepy stuff out there.
The problem is like,
you don't know if it's creepy or someone's like just being creepy for this.
Like you know, they're being artistically creepy or it's actually creepy.
So, like you tne into a channel. And it's just like a girl screaming.
You don't know if that's someone who's just willing to
like free sound like downloaded girl screaming dot MP3.
And it's just broadcasting that on a loop in
a frequency that that's suitable or maybe not suitable.
Maybe they're doing it illegally.
You should look into when it comes to, like broadcast, hijacking.
Look into Max headroom as well, because that is still like
unsolved as far as I remember,
and I just find like of all like the unsolved like crime.
I find this one the most interesting. And the reason is because, like
OK, cool, like it's bad they broke the law, but like,
no one really got hurt, but it's still fascinating.
Was there an update
anyway,
you
keep,
like getting sidetracked. That's what some of you guys are here for. Uh, anyway, um
uh,
Nki asks, uh, is there a significant drawback?
Uh, to putting multiple dynamic receivers on an object and then copying the object,
like 50 times, thus having over 100?
Um,
no. Uh,
but it does depend on how you're targeting those dynamic impulse receivers And, um,
what those dynamic impulse receivers are connected to?
Uh, I do what you're describing. A lot like a lot.
Um,
there's, uh, that world I built a long time ago Now, the,
uh, dental surgery planning world that does exactly what you're saying.
Probably about
100 or so times.
Um,
that world runs a solid, stable 45 FPs whilst I'm in VR, which is like,
about the maximum that my computer can run VR at,
uh, so
I no performance implications there.
Um, but
it does depend on what those dynamic impulse
receivers are doing and how you're targeting them
when I talk about targeting them.
What I mean is, if you are consistently sending dynamic impulses to the root slot,
that's problematic because we basically need to do a sort of
full search for the entire hierarchy to find those receivers.
But if you target a higher
where you know that they already exist,
So let's say you have a slot which contains 100.
Things are wanting to receive a dynamic impulse and you target that slot
then sure,
it has to go through 100 things and and
loop over them and send dynamic impulse to each.
But it has to go through 100 things, not 1000 things.
Uh,
nie said, with a couple of 1000 mostly inactive proto
flux slots of such systems create a problem by existing No.
Um, depending on the nodes as well. There are some nodes that will run.
Um, even when the proto
flux slots are inactive and stuff like that,
uh, we might fix that. There are a couple of other issues. I'm not entirely sure.
Uh, but no,
uh, N
kiosks. What would the difference in performance be with normal versus AC
impuls?
Uh, I'm gonna call fault to the wording here again. Um,
what measurement would you like? The difference in
cheese per
cube.
Um,
frame time CPU time
like it's better, uh, to ask performance questions right now, at least
in sort of like,
Is there a performance difference?
Like not like,
And then it it it It's just
it's difficult to answer, like without knowing what you're after.
Um,
async impulses should be,
I don't know.
You should probably be using the async impulses wherever you can, though,
because we can make those better dental surgery planning world, says Stormy.
Yeah, it's not actually that it's not actually that gross.
There's It's all, like digital and stuff. So it's not
like there's no, like, actual photos of teeth and stuff. Um,
just like digital digital teeth. That's a a phrase
that
I, uh
Hey, you want creepy stuff right now? Um, this,
uh, this I watched. Um, so this is a collaboration from nexto
with, uh, Nick Crowley.
I watched Nick Crowley's video on this
particular set of instagram channels yesterday.
It was very creepy.
Uh, so there you go.
Next, Po is a good good channel for just generically creepy stuff.
What is a proto
Oh, do you mean a proto
slot? Yeah, Pro
slot. And when I say that I, I mean
a slot which has proto
packed into it.
Uh, nie
says what exactly do acing impulses do differently than normal ones?
And what are the benefits and drawbacks of that?
I don't know.
I know async is like, better for some things and not others.
It's not necessarily to do with threads either. That's one of the problems,
right? So
async when we say in proto
fox, it's not
async in proto
Fox is not the same as Async and C#. Uh,
Cyrix
talks about putting a dynamic bone machine on the root
of the the home world. But yeah,
that's an example of something that, like when we go back to Like
Gel's question, that's the example of something where,
um,
you've you've figured out what the issue is.
So let's say, for example, Gear Bell's poker ball.
The reason why it's destroying worlds is because it happens to
somehow be putting a dynamic bone chain on the route.
And the bug report is like,
How are we putting the B, the diam chain on the route?
The bug report isn't
Gear's
poker ball, you know, it's been genericized outside of that content,
and I'm proud of you now. I'm I'm not proud of anyone that does, like there are a
few users who have made it their mission
to just do janky stuff, and they get really excited about it.
And I love that they're excited about it.
They post videos about it and everything like that.
They are, um,
amazing in their ability to make janky stuff.
But one of the problems is they will often spawn into a world
so excited to run at me and show me their janky stuff.
But what that usually represents is like a bug
that I need to fix.
And so you're basically talking to me about work again.
Um, So if you're making janky stuff
and you want me to see it, throw it in the videos, channel the discord,
I watch all the videos in the
at my own speed when I'm ready to,
um, as Fu's
question, Is there a way to get the person who triggered impulse? Yes, right?
The local user,
Um, as we're at time,
uh, I could probably just launch, resonate and show you that,
but I'll probably make it a tutorial anyway.
Maybe you do another live tutorial. Last time I sat here, we did that a few times.
Uh, I will stop the recording,
and I'll just record it live whilst I'm here with a shared screw
Still meet You are my favourite person for today.
Um,
because that's how my brain works, right?
Someone shows me some janky stuff, and it's like, Yep,
I've got an uncontrollable urge to fix things when people show me Janie
stuff like someone bought me this and they're like, should be able to do this.
And it's like, Oh, great.
Um, at the time I spoke to them about like, um,
starting up the resonate portion of my brain,
right? It's like,
Imagine there's like, two mechanical engines inside my head.
One of them is just trying to survive.
One of them's probably playing a video game because they're done working.
The resonate work engine has been stopped, right?
We've cooled it down, We've stopped it.
It's cool. It's not spinning.
Then someone comes And, like, throws like janky stuff in my face.
I'm like, Great, let's go to that resin engine Top up the gas.
Check the oil, start it up again. Crank it on,
you know, room.
Great. You've just completely changed my like mental energy. State. Cool.
Uh, if nookie. If you want prefabs, we already have a prefabs issue. Uh, I don't know.
Someone here that's very, very nice might be able to find it,
but we do have a a prefabs issue that you can go take a look at.
All right.
So we're gonna do a live tutorial now, so I'm gonna stop recording,
but we'll post this to to YouTube
