Sorry guys,
I forgot to record,
you just deal with it.
Um,
so with Cloudflare we kind of our own code,
but with,
um,
uh,
with Azure we're kind of using Azure's code,
right?
So there's Azure,
um,
libraries to
do all the operations like rename blobs,
move blobs.
By the way,
whenever I say blob,
just,
just imagine file,
it's just,
I,
it's not like it is,
so don't worry about it.
Um,
you know,
there's operations to move,
copy,
delete,
delete if it exists,
all that sort of stuff in,
um,
Azure blobs and.
There's like dedicated clients for it,
and those clients will handle things like authentication and like permissioning
really easily,
which is something I need because one of the sort of
soft requirements,
it isn't a hard requirement,
it will be,
but like it right now it's soft from Business Corpoverse,
is that we try not to use like raw keys anywhere.
Anyone that set up their own,
uh,
usually MySQL database with PHP,
you know,
the old lamp or
WAM stack,
uh,
you'll know that like at some point somewhere you put like a,
a connection string
into your PHP config,
and that's how your PHP figures out how to connect to MySQL.
Um,
that connection string.
Usually contains like a URL which is the URL of
the database server and like some sort of key,
like sometimes it's a
user password combination,
sometimes it's just like a key,
like a token,
um,
but
that was one of the sort of soft requirements,
they don't wanna do that.
And one of the reasons they don't wanna do that is cos
of like auditing and like security lockdowns and stuff like that.
Uh,
so we've moved everything over to what's called a managed identity,
which basically means,
um,
Azure is responsible for
provisioning the machines which we're running corpoverse services on
with,
um,
an actual identity.
You know it's not like,
it's not a person
because it's like,
it's a computer,
but for the purposes of understanding how they work,
it's basically a person.
So then each server becomes a person,
and then each person,
I remember,
that's each service,
uh,
gets a set of permissions.
So let's say that you've got the um
payment service.
The payment service would get a permission role
that grants them access to the payment infrastructure,
but the
asset stuff that I'm doing right now,
it probably should not have access to the payment infrastructure,
and they can do that,
um.
Because
of managed identities,
and they can lock it down as,
as much as they like.
We don't tend to do that on our side simply because of like,
it's small and not really like a problem,
um,
but when it comes to,
uh,
business first and stuff like that,
our infrastructure is operating with inside their house,
sort of.
It's in its own Azure subscription,
but it is,
uh,
networkally linked to their big Azure subscription,
so.
Uh,
it's called a hub and spoke model,
so we have a spoke and it connects to the hub,
and then the hub connects to like everything else that this big company does,
um,
on Azure.
And so it's important to sort of follow all of their policies,
even if those policies require,
uh,
Prime to stay up and forget to go to bed for like 3 nights in a row,
but that's fine.
Um,
everything looks like it's working and I'll work on the next errors.
Um,
I forgot what I was talking about this now.
Oh yeah,
the Azure,
uh,
libraries,
uh,
when
those operations fail,
um,
they
throw errors.
It's usually like a request failed exception.
There's two realms of thought in C.
They exist in all languages,
but in C they're kind of
pivotal because of like some of the language constructs.
There is,
um,
throwing exceptions when bad stuff happens,
and there is return.
Learning,
um,
an object sometimes,
um,
sometimes it's just a ball,
but sometimes it's like a result pattern,
which is like a result object,
uh,
for,
for C.
The Azure library
throws exceptions.
All of the cloudflare stuff that we wrote,
uh,
returns results like error messaging and stuff like that.
And so any operation that fails,
I kind of have to wrap in a tri-catch block,
and the catch block is usually just like.
Blob didn't exist,
which for like,
Azure is like a,
oh,
I've thrown a 404 exception,
but for us,
it's just like,
yeah,
that's usually like a given,
right?
This is an asset pipeline that's meant to,
like,
ingest assets,
and so one of the things it does occasionally is like,
hey,
does this asset already exist?
And Azure goes,
404 exception.
It's like,
that,
that isn't appropriate.
What you better go is like,
No,
it doesn't exist.
No,
it doesn't exist.
And then the app goes,
OK,
cool,
now it does.
But there you go,
so I,
I gotta keep uh figuring those ones out.
This is the sort of thing that would,
would be covered by like automated testing,
um,
where are there,
like it'll be a lot easier to do
now with like some of the um edits that I've made,
um,
but it would still be like
nigh on impossible to do like a full unit test coverage in the time that I've got.
Uh,
Collins says if you ask a librarian for a book and they start screaming at you,
yeah,
it's like uh
go to the library
and ask them for Harry Potter.
8.
Harry Potter book 8.
And they'd be like,
what?
I don't exist.
I'm like,
you know,
like book seven was two movies,
but like it's one book,
right?
So there is no book 8,
there is no like part
part two of book seven
that would be 8,
and then you go,
yeah,
but like I,
I want Harry Potter book 8,
and then they like,
I don't know,
scream at you and hit you on the head with a hammer.
That's,
that's what the Azure library is doing.
I'm actually amazed like how much like
use there is in a sort of.
Library as a mental model for a lot of like technical stuff that you might not get.
So
if you're not understanding anything I'm saying,
ask me to
word it towards you is like a library,
and it might help,
but we'll move on to the other questions now.
So second up is Palpatine's question.
As much as you're able to say,
what's the size for the business clients?
Uh,
we've got a couple of educational establishments.
They aren't big educational establishments,
but they're like universities or colleges,
so university or college size.
Yeah.
We've got a couple of businesses that are
really,
really big,
uh,
but I have to be careful cos like,
I'm,
I'm
pretty sure you can figure out who they are,
it's just like we haven't agreed to like share information yet,
so like I said,
it's awkward,
but I,
I can't.
Um,
but I can look up how big they are.
Am I in German again?
No,
OK.
Over 300 employees,
there we go.
That's,
that's probably our biggest one.
I'm not sure if I was reading an email correct,
but
I don't know,
there was something
hm.
OK,
sorry,
I got distracted.
I opened another message and it was like blah blah blah blah,
information that you need to process,
so I stopped talking.
Yeah,
I saw some emails that were like
potentially about like space,
and I was like,
space?
Like uh freaks loves space,
loves NASA,
all sorts of stuff like that,
and like
I can't remember if it was like
NASA speaking to us or like a European space agency,
I don't remember,
all I remember is reading space and being like cool.
Uh let's see,
uh next
question.
I can't.
I guess I could do revenue,
I'll just read it from the,
the wiki page again.
It's odd that like,
you know when like you're on a wiki and you're like,
that's wrong,
and like the wiki brain,
particularly cos you know you help run the resonant wiki,
goes like you should edit that,
you should like make a talk article about that,
you should,
you should enact change to make that make more sense.
I'm just like no.
It's a European company,
so the number of employees is
greater than.
Like it's greater than 1000,
and so
we in,
in the UK and in the US we use a comma,
right?
So we would write 3000 as 3.000.
But in Europe,
you write it as 3.000,
and then let's say you had to buy something for $1.50 or whatever,
you would use
1.50 for $1.50.
And it's a,
it's a European thing and it's really.
Um,
anyway,
the number of employees number for the company is listed with the period
donating,
um,
1000,
but the revenue
is,
delimited for the 1000.
And so it's like you gotta use like one
standard or another,
you can't use both.
And I don't know like what's going on there,
but that,
that's a wiki thing that like I should totally go fix,
but I'm not going to,
uh,
cos it was just like.
I bet you the talk page for this cos it's such a big company is just like a mess.
It's not that.
Anyway,
you asked for revenue
straight off the Wikipedia page,
um,
plus some randomization so you can't figure it out.
Uh,
let's see,
operating income.
Oh,
that's a billion.
OK,
cool.
Yeah.
Operating income,
that's a billion,
we're good.
I'm not very good
with like higher than 1000 numbers,
cause I,
you know,
I don't come across them.
Um,
so sometimes I just put numbers into Google and I'm like,
how much is this a billion?
Yeah,
that's that's,
that's a billion.
Um,
yeah,
they're cool.
So we're basically getting a slice of that money
for every night that Prime doesn't go to sleep and stares at log files for.
Uh,
there's a funny image from XKCD here,
uh,
yeah,
the like comprehending
numbers is horrible.
Alright,
moving forward to other questions,
what the dog doing?
Barking at the front door,
um,
I am getting like stressed about it.
Basically like
they want attention
or someone's out the door and you never really know
what cos like I can't hear as well as them,
like.
You know,
dog hearing is bigger and better,
etc.
I just imagine like every time he barks at the door,
like a spider sense scene from Spider-Man plays,
but it's like fed to the dog,
and he's like
two floors away in the corner,
someone turned on the vacuum cleaner,
I must bark.
Whereas I'm just like
cat video funny.
So like I get it,
um,
and the real solution here is we're,
we're not gonna be living in an apartment anymore,
but our lease isn't up till May,
so we just gotta deal with it.
If I shut the,
the baby gate,
he can't get to the front door,
he'll still bark,
but at least it's like away from the door,
and the baby gate prevents like one of his instincts,
and his instinct is
run
headfirst into the front door,
no stopping,
bump his head.
And then like
savagely like bark
and and like he's like he's up on two legs like pawing at the door and barking.
I'm just like,
I don't know what you think you're doing.
I mean he thinks he's protecting us,
he's not,
he's just making a fool of himself.
And
you name it,
we've tried it.
We even tried the,
you know,
squirt them with water,
hated that one causes my floors would just be.
It's like,
oh,
you barked,
spray bottle,
it doesn't work.
Let's move forwards to uh Kual's question.
Besides combing through logs,
are there any ways to get examine cloud record
cloud record version numbers or any associated metadata for a given asset,
things like record size?
Yeah,
you can,
um,
you might have to like log in
with the API
uh to get this,
but like if you have a,
a,
uh,
a record which is.
Uh,
open,
this was just in my history,
I have no idea what it is.
Oh yeah,
I can't share that one,
that one shouldn't be shared,
uh.
Yes,
this one can be.
Um,
so this here is the record for the online status facet
that exists in all of your dashes unless you've removed it,
of course.
And
when you load this,
there is a bunch of information that is mostly useless for you,
but you'll see that there is a
version,
and then there's also creation time,
last modified time.
Version.
I don't quite understand global or local version.
I was dealing with it yesterday cos it was like local version,
global version,
local,
global,
global era,
exception,
global,
local,
I fixed whatever it was,
I just fixed it,
um,
but,
uh,
I don't really understand what it means.
Uh,
the other thing is we need to adjust our like tagging
system.
So you know how like you can't search for items but you can search for worlds.
They both under the hood use the same search,
which is like uh when you ingest the item into the the network,
they formulate tags from it,
which are usually just like lowercased
words from inside the item.
Um,
but we need to adjust it such that it
does or doesn't or,
or better
represents tags,
because most of these tags are just names of Protoflux nerds.
Like it should absolutely detect that there's protoflux in
the object and give it a tag of Protoflux,
but I don't think it should have
every single
Protoflux name in its tags.
Uh,
but we don't really use tags and records,
so,
you know,
it's not important to do that.
Uh,
you can also see things like
is public,
is listed,
is for patrons,
is listed.
Is listed.
If that was true for a record,
that would mean like marketplace was here,
right?
Because it's listed.
And then you can see visits,
like,
even though you
don't strictly visit
an item,
we've still got that,
that field.
Uh,
and there's also rating.
I've,
like,
that's never,
like,
if I had the code open,
which I don't currently,
I would see if rating is ever like written to.
You always know it's good when you like get blame,
and it goes back to the first commit on the,
on the repository use.
Reason behind that is because um the start of resonite does not go back to the.
Start of this repository,
like there was a a a a while before Frukes used version control,
and then I think there were like a
couple of repositories that existed before this Git
like chain started,
so that's always interesting.
I remember like uh Fruits ran
Gorse,
uh I think it's called Gorse.
It's like an animation of like Git activity that you can do on a Git repository,
and it was interesting because um you know,
it was mostly Fruits and then like a couple of times
it's a few other people like outside if you remember Outsider.
Um,
you know,
just doing various things,
and at a certain point it's like,
here comes Prime.
One of the first things I did
was I like,
I went through the entire codebase and I removed all references
to the word Neos and replaced them with app name.
And
um
Bris finished that functionality off,
but like
you'll see it everywhere now and I'm so
glad you did because setting up the business cloud
was so much easier because all that stuff is in place.
But if you go to
um API.resson.com/platform,
what you'll find is a is a Jason object which is
basically describes how the entirety of the Resonite cloud works.
Um,
when you load that you'll see things like,
uh,
team group ID G G G resonite team,
group ID Gresonite,
like
the
Discord,
the email,
the Patreon,
all sorts of stuff there.
Uh,
Johnny said,
try to find an issue in our code the other day,
hoping for a recent regression.
Get blamed five years ago,
sync from private care,
yep,
always happens.
Very common in the libraries that that Johnny and I deal with as well,
like,
um,
free image is ancient and so like.
You want to find out like what version of Free image you're running?
Good luck.
Like there's a version that the Free image repository will tell you that it is.
Probably isn't that.
Uh,
next up is a question from Con.
Can the backhand handle,
if I modify and manually modify
an entry's record asset UI,
the
SDB,
and if two items are pointing at the same asset.
I,
I honestly don't know.
I would guess it would be fine,
particularly because Josh says it would be fine,
but I,
I don't know.
There's so much like in the record soup that I haven't like touched or edited.
I edit,
I,
I went through a tonne of it last night though trying to figure out stuff,
like I know a lot more about record syncing than I did like a couple of days ago.
Ali says,
how's the house hunting going?
Uh,
good.
I'm just trying to like figure it out.
Um,
I've essentially been waiting for like a housing market crash for five years,
uh,
since 2020,
cause they're like,
COVID,
it's gonna cause a housing market crash,
and I'm like rubbing my hands.
Good.
Maybe houses will be reasonably priced again.
And then the housing market crash just hasn't happened.
I've got pre-approved for a mortgage,
so I just gotta like,
I gotta ring that company back and be like,
yo,
can you give me like more information?
Cos I have a pre-approval number,
but I don't have a pre-approval percentage or anything like that.
So I,
I need like a piece of paper that like outlines the entire deal,
um,
and then I'll have like a pre-approved mortgage and I can give that
to a realtor and then they can start looking at properties with me.
I mean,
of course I'm on Zillow looking around and you'll see that in off,
off topic,
I
frequently post like cursed property photos.
Oh I've got.
One the other day,
hold on,
let me grab it from a DM.
I'll just put it in here as well.
Uh,
who was I talking to?
I was like sending someone property photos.
Ah yes,
it was Sarah.
We were talking about um the area.
Here you go,
here,
here was one from yesterday.
I was like,
yeah you wanna sleep in that bedroom?
Like I,
I would live,
like I would be able to live there,
um,
provided the,
I don't remember what the rest of the house.
Looked like,
but I would be able to sleep there,
definitely.
It wouldn't be that fun though.
Uh,
quality is every morning I wake up and put my head through the roof.
Yeah,
we've got like a slanted roof going in that picture,
by the way,
for the benefit of the,
of the,
of the recording,
but like
I don't know about you guys,
but when I wake up,
my first response isn't to sit up.
My first response is usually to roll over and go back to bed.
Like by the time I'm getting out of bed,
I'm fully conscious.
Cause I've been battling for the last 5 minutes
to like
like crawl my brain back from the brink of sleep
so that I can actually move my legs.
So like I'm never gonna like bash my head like that,
but I,
I do get the,
the feeling.
So I just loaded my emails and they're so spam fulfilled.
Um,
oh,
I have an invitation to a meeting from someone I've never met.
Hi,
I'd like to invite you to join me on a as a guest
on my
podcast.
Oh,
I actually have a link to the podcast.
Excellent.
Um,
if you get an email like this where they're like,
hey,
we invite you to be on our podcast,
go to our event,
um,
you know,
sometimes it's like,
we'll write a book about your life,
etc.
it's probably a scam.
Uh,
the book one isn't
like really a scam actually,
the,
the book one is just like you get a bad deal,
um,
and it's usually a bad book as well.
Like
they'll write like your,
your life story into like a crap AI generated book
and then sell it with your name on it.
And the fact that like
you said yes and got the book together and you're,
I don't know,
like people know about you,
means they might get like a couple of sales and because they might
get a couple of sales and their percentage is like probably fishy.
Uh,
it,
it's worthwhile to them,
but like,
it's not like,
you know,
it's not like Michelle Obama's biography's gonna be in,
you know,
every airport bookstore and you're gonna pick it up,
it's gonna be like
on Kindle,
written by AI,
Prime's life story,
and like half the pages are just cheese,
like
double-sided cheese,
cheese,
cheese.
Uh,
so I'm gonna say no to this particular opportunity.
And
I'm just gonna send you half the logo,
cause I don't wanna like incite
hatred or anything,
um,
but
that's the logo of the podcast they want me to be on.
Alright,
next actual resonite question.
Qualli says,
can the resonite API be queried from
inside resonite in authenticated fashion right now,
and are there plans for it?
Not right now,
you can't do it.
I mean,
I,
I guess you could technically do it.
Josh,
please don't do it,
um,
but,
uh,
yeah,
there will be some way to do it in the future.
I don't particularly know what that would be,
um,
but like hard permissions and other stuff like
that would probably need to happen first.
Then there are these um like
they figure out,
like I assume they're sending the same emails to Freaks,
Freaks is just isn't looking at them,
which is probably the best bet for me
as well.
But like I look at them just in case like they're actually like,
you know,
occasionally it's like something we actually need to engage with.
Like it like,
you know,
maybe it's a business opportunity or something like that.
um and they're emailing me directly,
like I feel like I should look at them.
Uh,
so,
but what you always do when you get an email in.
Uh,
and they,
they sound like a good company.
You go like,
hm,
what email address are you sending from?
And then you go to that website,
and then that website says this domain was recently registered by Name Cheap.
You go,
OK,
cool,
I guess I won't be working with that company.
They can't be bothered to put a like a website up.
I can't be bothered to talk to them.
Ah,
I got the wrong website.
Um,
uh,
their original website
was.com,
and that's where the email came from.
Um,
but where I actually need to go to is.
AI because of,
of course.
Yeah,
no,
I don't need to respond to that one.
Fetter
enough.
Uh.
I get these all the time,
sorry.
Hi,
I'm following up to share that our developers have
experienced and how AI engines are revolution the email.
OK,
I've,
I've processed my emails,
so I don't even remember why I opened.
Like whilst we're like on on the subject of AI like
we do have some business arrangements right now that do involve AI but like it is
like OK.
One of them is a horizon grant project,
um,
that we've applied to be a part of,
but we don't know if we're going to get
the grant until the overall project gets the grant.
Um,
that's part of the EU grant and tenders portal,
and it's to explore,
um,
you
know,
it's like
they wanna put like
an AI
into a resonite world
and have it like walk around and stuff.
And I'm like,
sure,
we can do.
And then of course we have like the,
the modding scene
and the plug-in scene.
Has anyone done any like AI mods yet?
I don't,
I,
I think they probably have,
but like
I,
oh actually I seem to remember,
yes,
uh I think
some of the Japanese community have
because um
I saw some stuff
uh like in a rep one of theirs.
Repositories,
I saw stuff that was like,
oh yeah,
this is,
this uses like a
AI coding,
which it like,
yeah.
Um,
yeah,
the AI material tool,
that's kind of like,
it's,
it's difficult because like some people have like
a hard line where they're like zero,
whereas I'm just like
be responsible when you're using it,
which is like a,
a more reasoned take.
So the AI material one.
Like that was generative,
so like I'm not
too much of a fan of like,
you know,
artistically generated
stuff.
But like the amount of questions I've asked Chatby GBT
about terraform that like I couldn't get answered anywhere else.
It's like 5 a.m.
and I'm just like
what the fuck does this terraform error mean?
You can bet,
like it'll give it a go.
Uh,
Fluffy says there must be some kind of threshold.
There is,
there is some kind of threshold.
I just wish that like we could have a,
a good discussion about what that threshold is.
Cos like in most places,
even talking about it,
people are like,
you are the anti-Christ for like,
you know,
responsibly exploring how a tool could help,
but it's just like uh
OK,
don't,
don't think so,
but OK.
Uh but yeah I do agree,
like if you need a,
if you need a
P&G of uh of some bricks at 128 by 128,
draw it or pay someone to try it or go take a.
Picture of some bricks and then like
do the
JPEG equivalent of decimate.
But yeah,
it's,
it's an EU project.
It's,
it's,
it's got more
safety and guardrails on it than any project at
Resonite can have.
It's got like an ethics team beside to it,
and we haven't even got the grant yet.
Well,
it's not,
it's not strictly language models for NPCs.
They want like a full A reasoning model.
Like,
they wanna put like a,
a
attempt at like a sentient life form inside a resonant,
uh,
a resonant
world,
right,
and just see what happens.
So,
rather than it just being language like text,
they want to sort of
give it
knowledge about,
like,
the position of other users in the world
and like,
what those users are doing.
So it'd be like,
Prime crossed his arms and farted and then looked at you.
And the AI like puts that into its reasoning bottle and goes,
Prime's probably just bored.
All those like body language things,
by the way,
they don't work,
they don't work on anyone who is remotely away from like the,
the,
the norm of,
of like behaviour of of human behaviour.
If you pick someone off the street,
body language studying will probably work,
but like if you go to your friend,
it probably won't,
like it,
it just
doesn't work.
There's those channels that do like police
body cams and they're kind of entertaining,
but there are some that just focus too much on the interrogation.
And they'll be like
blah blah blah has leaned forward and put their heads in between their legs,
this means that they are guilty,
and I'm like,
no no,
this,
this means that like they're gonna puke.
Speaking of that,
I have to get a video um,
for you,
we are at the kind of the end,
we're just like chat
shooting the,
what do they call it,
chatting the
I don't know,
whatever,
um.
Let me see if I can find it with just that.
Alright,
I can't find it,
I,
I'll just describe it,
maybe someone can find it.
I know like it's in a DM with a friend,
but it's like one of those like MP4s that's like I don't know,
like 40 scrolls back.
It's a uh
uh like a suspect in a criminal.
An investigation is brought in for an interrogation
and he plays a game of,
of chicken with the cop.
Why
whenever the cop asks,
hey,
do you need anything,
uh,
the guy just goes,
yeah,
I'll have another bag of chips,
and he ends up with this sort of like
pile mountain of chips inside the interrogation room.
Yes,
I think my sound works today.
Um,
so anyway,
there's,
there's multiple copies of this clip,
but there you go.
They just keep asking for bags of chips and they get them.
Jay says 99% of use cases being sold right now could be sold by scripts.
Yeah,
that's the other thing to like keep in mind as well,
and also like,
you know,
temper your expectations of AI.
Right now,
all the tech bros are on it.
And
if you don't remember.
The tech bros are.
The tech bros are the people who were pushing NFTs like 18 months ago.
They're now pushing AI.
Just like,
think what the tech bros are gonna be on next.
And what do I mean by tech,
bro?
Like,
there is a stereotype,
but what I mean beyond that is,
like,
money for money's sake,
plus tech,
and that's a tech,
bro.
So it's like,
AI is a big,
big word,
so I'll come up with some company
and I'll put AI on it and I'll try and sell it.
And usually it's just a thin wrapper around chat GPT.
It's like
when you do chat GPT,
right,
there's like what's called the system prompt,
which is like a bunch of
stuff that is sent to the,
the AI on every,
every message.
And then there's like your custom instructions,
and then there's the actual stuff that you type in.
And what lots of AI startups do is they
just change the system prompt or they change the preamble
and then they just use chat BGGPT for the,
the actual like
response,
but they've pre-baked all the stuff like on top of
the symptom prompt to like make it do different stuff.
So you know when like you see a prompt and it's like
you are a uh
uh a travel agent
trying to help
people travel,
right?
They,
they stick
you a travel agent
onto the front of all of your prompts,
slap it into a React website and call it like travel.AI,
sell it for millions.
Quantum computing's interesting.
Um,
I need to get up to date with the,
like,
didn't
Microsoft fake its research to do with the like waves?
They like made a new particle or something and then everyone was like,
no,
you didn't.
Man Manjaro,
you know,
that's the Linux.
Uh,
Microsoft Quantum
chip.
Majorna,
9 months ago.
The Majorna 1 clip uh chip.
World's first topological quasi-particle.
Yeah,
there you go.
They use
Majorna quasi-particles.
I'm interested in quantum computing.
Um,
I have a work colleague from the,
um,
Mixer days
who
used to work in the quantum computing team.
They moved off of Mixer when Mixer um
started dying into the uh quantum computing team
and
now they run their own company,
something to do with chips,
I haven't looked in a while,
um like PCB
design and manufacturer I think.
It's interesting,
it's interesting to see where people go,
um
my like
mental like head cannon poster child of just like a really good,
honest person that works.
Works at
these big companies,
um
she was at
uh Microsoft for Mixer.
Then after Mixer she went to Discord for a bit
and then she took like a year's career break,
something people are doing these days,
they're just like quitting all their jobs and saying they're on a career break.
um and now she's working at YouTube
on making their like
community experience better or something.
And like she she like every single interaction
with this person at Mixer was awesome.
I would work with her again in a,
it was interesting to see how many companies she went
through after Mixer and how I went through like,
I guess I did one.
But yeah,
always be like
watching the hype cycle.
I think there might be like a mild hype cycle on robots coming,
um,
and the reason behind that is because you can just stick AI in robot.
Uh,
you'll see it with like the nano robots.
It's called the nano robot,
the,
the spooky robot,
right,
you'll see it with that,
um,
that's controlled by a telepresence guy and a headset,
by the way.
I'm still also waiting in the AI space for like,
I'm,
I'm looking into it for like power optimisation and stuff like that,
is like a,
a dedicated chip that is designed
more readily for AI
um
because while graphics cards are good at doing them,
they're good at doing them because they have a lot of
RAM.
And that's what you need.
Whereas you could engineer a,
a new type of processor that is just like an AI processor,
and I think
that's something that like the,
the Nvidia guys are doing,
yeah,
Tensor cores,
stuff like that.
I'm not up to date
cos I'm always looking at it from a sort of consumer angle,
and I'm just loading
loading my personal notebook
because I've got um a coup,
uh,
sorry,
the hiccups are
really strong today,
I don't know,
uh,
but I'm looking.
There's a company doing like consumer grade custom
hardware for it,
and I'm interested in that because it's like it'll solve the RAM problems.
Yeah,
here.
The reason why this one
appealed to me is because in they they've got like an exploded view on their website,
Cerebrous,
and.
The exploded view just doesn't resemble any computer I've ever seen,
and the reason behind that is because they've got super large dies,
as,
as Jay Rogers said.
And I'm like,
yes,
this,
do more of that,
like whatever that is.
These are probably expensive,
maybe the company's shit,
I don't know,
but like,
whatever they're doing,
do more of it so the RAM prices can go back to normal,
please,
thank you.
There's also this,
which is like an open source thing
that you can also just buy.
But like it it's like it's like a PCI chip just
for for doing AI and I'm just like yes that.
Stop like messing with GPUs man.
These aren't that bad,
like expensive wise as well.
They'd put out a question,
I'm sorry,
I'm just sat here like
rambling about random stuff.
I enjoy it,
like if you wanna
stay here and ramble,
we do it,
but there are questions,
so I'll get back to them.
Have you had to develop a health as a kiki shape to the tech tree?
No,
let's go ahead and do that.
Also,
we are gonna run over a little bit today just because we've been rambling,
but there we go.
Makes sense to open up the tech tree for a bit,
uh.
Alright,
Tetree's open,
I'll add developer health there in a minute,
let's scroll through to another question,
uh.
Colin says,
have you working on any personal projects?
No,
but there's lots of potential for personal projects.
I,
I want to
um.
I wanna get a like a a blog going,
but like I hate complicated blogs,
I don't want React,
I don't want like a PHP service.
I want like a static,
simple blog
that like
I can understand how to theme
and that like
loads instantly and is really easy to use and runs on markdown files.
So if you know
a system like that that you can recommend,
let me know,
I'll take a look,
cos I was looking at like
ghost or something or like or
like.
And like it's just like it's just marked down files,
like it shouldn't be this complicated.
And I do have
a uh
I do have sitting next to me,
it's in its box,
because if I um
if I take it out of the box,
it'll like,
stress me out cos then it'll be like oh you gotta,
like,
everything's tidy in the box.
I have a,
a new.
Uh,
brain wave EEG device in,
in a box next to me that I wanna play with,
um,
not primarily for the,
the use of,
of,
of resonite,
this is a,
a non-resonite product or a non-resonite project.
Um,
Qual is nice,
which one,
and this is the problem,
right?
I,
I can talk you through the research I did,
I guess,
um.
Uh,
so I was doing this,
you gotta remember as well,
like when I'm talking about this,
I'm not thinking of VR.
So like,
don't,
don't think of VR when you look at this,
right?
So
what I wanted
was an EEG device that measured multiple areas of the head.
Um,
lots of the Resonet team have been using,
um,
the Muse headband,
but the Muse headband only does like the front of the head.
I,
I need,
because of like,
I have seizures,
I need.
More points.
And so when you're looking at like
price,
number of channels,
positioning of those channels,
this became the best deal,
and trust me,
I even looked at like
3D printing stuff.
So you can look at
um there's a shop called
Open BCI
which has more sort of like homebrew
EEG stuff.
But if you look at that for like an 8 channel.
It's just a lot of
money.
I can get 16 channels,
3D printed
for 4000.
I could get 3 channels for
like
5000 or something,
or I could get like a cap
that does like all of the like the medical EG points for like 900,
and I'm just like,
or I could get this like
slightly tech bro
branded thing.
Now one of the other reasons why I got this particular device though.
Uh,
was because it's got its own processor running on board of it,
which means it natively
out of the box without
anything else,
once it's connected to your Wi Fi,
um,
it has OSC just like built into the device.
Like it's literally just there and like cos the device has a processor in it,
you just like do it.
So anyway,
the two possibilities for this device are that it will stay
in the box until I'm done with the Corpo project.
Or,
uh,
I will get it out and it will stay on my desk for six months and I won't touch it,
or it will end up under the bed or in a cupboard.
Awaa says,
I would like to try some neurofeedback for my awful ADHD.
Me too,
but I would also like to do it from the sort of stance of,
could I be less anxious.
I'm on
like
two medications right now,
one for anti-epilepsy and one for anti-anxiety,
and I have a strong hunch that the anti-anxiety is
needed because the anti-epilepsy is messing with my brain.
So it's like,
you know,
it's like side effect soup,
like American healthcare is side effect soup,
right,
it's like
here's the pill that fixes your underlying problem,
but because of the side effect,
here's the pill that prevents you from puking.
Ah,
but that gives you dry mouth,
so here's a pill to prevent dry mouth.
Ah,
but that makes you dizzy,
so here's a pill to make you not dizzy,
and it's just like,
what if I can do neurofeedback and not need any of this shit?
I've spent
probably greater than like $6000 this year with insurance
on medical tests to try and find out like
anything else we can do.
I was like,
might as well just like go straight to the source and figure it out myself.
I also have some like contacts and and ex-colleagues
in the neurofeedback space who I'm talking to.
And they're like,
yeah,
we recommend like 8 channels,
I'm like good,
write that down.
We recommend like this area of the head for this particular thing,
I'm like OK cool,
writing that down,
and then like everything lined up to that particular product.
But I am aware that like that particular product's uh webpage looks.
tech bro.
Uh,
I should start winding things down here cos like Feder's gonna like bite
my head off if I don't take them out for a walk,
but I will go through any other questions.
Uh,
so Hecker's asking about
uh the support of leap motion.
I don't know cos I personally haven't used it in quite a while,
but I think it should be working right now.
We have to update the SDK
and so I think it should be working,
but I don't know if it's actually working,
cos I haven't,
I haven't tried it in a while.
For my benefit,
uh,
cos I'm just thinking about it and I realised I didn't quite
know the uh
the number
or what it was.
What was the hype cycle before
crypto and NFTs?
Was it the metaverse?
Actually,
I think it was,
yeah.
Yeah,
I think it,
I think it was the metaverse
and then it was crypto,
and now it's AI.
OK,
what was it before the metaverse?
Luffy thinks the monkey JPEG came before the metaverse.
Oh,
yeah,
ray tracing would be a good,
a good contender there.
I remember when the hype cycle was dual dual core processors,
it was like,
hey,
you know how we have like one core processor?
What if we put two cores in it,
whoa,
uh.
Uh,
mobile apps was definitely another hype cycle,
yeah.
I need a new computer,
so I've gotta like get up to date on hardware.
I,
I didn't stay up to date till I buy a computer cos it's like annoying.
When it comes to apps,
like the,
the,
uh,
developer of the original Flappy Bird app is like a perfect
example of just like why app development was like a,
a mess.
Alright,
let's take a look,
see what else we've got,
but I think we're out of questions.
Oh,
I should,
I should check the text.
I did put ment Team Health there.
It's mostly a fruits endeavour right now.
Uh
oh.
This,
this one down here.
As of last night at like 5 a.m.,
it works.
Oh,
we also were able to
uh bootstrap it.
Um,
that was the upload of the assets.
There were a couple of issues with that,
but there we go.
Um,
theatre,
he's now in my lap.
All right,
Snap says,
uh,
rigid body physics when,
uh,
when we get around.
Uh,
and then Goldie Runi says,
what are the exact paths that resonate searches for Blender on Linux?
That I can get for you,
but it's gonna require me to open up.
The uh code base,
so let me go ahead and get that going.
I've got to wait to Visual Studio to load load.
I say this every time cos like it does like,
you might not know,
but like,
when you load Visual Studio,
it looks like it's loaded,
but like IntelliSense and like
all the stuff that lets you navigate around real quick hasn't loaded.
Like ControlT won't work for a couple of minutes,
it's really annoying.
Cause I know like exactly what I wanna do,
which is like edit,
finding files,
blender,
and that'll probably get me close enough where I can find the paths for you.
Oh look,
it's a file called blender interface.cs.
Better,
enough.
Alright,
so it will look for Blender in C programme files,
C programme files 86,
Steam,
Steam apps,
common lender.
In,
in as little detail as possible,
could someone explain why 32 bit processes are called X86?
Shouldn't they be like.
X 32.
Uh,
and then we've got more questions there that say,
uh,
it looks for Windows directories on Linux,
yeah,
it does.
It,
it,
it doesn't actually determine whether you're on Linux or Windows,
it just tries both these,
like,
it tries those two directories
and it also tries,
uh,
tools lender lender.XE.
Uh,
Jace is open issue,
I can look into it.
Yeah,
that's actually like a perfect J thing.
That sounded kind of dismissive,
didn't mean it,
mind you.
We also do a little bit of recursive searches down,
um,
I mean I can just give you the function,
it's not like,
like top secret blender searching
screw you for the entire file.
Here is the entire file.
Why can't I send it?
OK,
there we go.
Uh,
so you can see the recursive stuff in
the 4 each loop where we loop over search locations,
um,
but then there's recursiveness where it's like
get the directories in the location,
get the directories in the location.
That's the uh recursion.
Is there anything else here that we can,
we can tackle,
see,
like anything blue.
No,
I don't think so.
X86 instructions are
interesting.
I wonder if there's like,
uh,
I mean,
like the answer to this is almost certainly,
but like I wonder if there are CPU architectures out there
that we could come up with
that
wouldn't need much technological,
um,
difference to the architectures that we deal with right now,
but would be better.
Like I like what I'm seeing in risk,
um,
processes,
but I don't know why I like what I'm seeing,
if that makes sense.
It is also interesting.
Like
what
what if we
didn't use binary?
Triinary CPUs,
I should look into that.
There's also the um
like it,
it would,
it would never like
be used
professionally or or achieve like any market value,
but there's also Frukes's two dimensional CPU.
I don't know,
it's just,
it's really like the,
the world's gonna get like more and more
complex,
confusing and cool.
Cool,
um,
but
like cooler than you realise,
it's gonna be like,
it's gonna be awesome.
It is also gonna have hype cycles and tech bros and all sorts of stuff like that,
but it's gonna be cool.
But,
um,
I think we'll leave off here cos we're just rambling.
Let me just double check
uh
for any additional questions.
Yeah,
we'll head off.
I will speak to you guys soon.
I hope you enjoyed me rambling about various things,
um,
and I will get back to you in the future.
