Percussion/marimbist here, so kind of a cousin of yours.
I've always found it... ironic that the most important finger, the one that plays the lowest bass notes and the highest (often melodic) notes have to be played by such an anatomically weak digit.
Have you ever wished your hands were mirrored so you could have more power on the outside?
Hullo, this isn't a shitpost necessarily. But, I was wondering, are you all aware of what everyone thinks of people in Mensa?
It's not necessarily like a jock vs. nerd kind of thing. Being smart is fine. But quantifying your intelligence and seeking out a group of like minded dorks is just so pathetic... Not anyone outside of Mensa has ever seen a group meeting, or bumper sticker, or any other instance of Mensa and not thought, "wow, what an egotistical dumbass who probably isn't actually that smart."
I have a PhD by the way.
Hello,
I've been in a little server (Tautarus) for the entirety of my gameplay. It's time to move. I've seen like five people in the 300 hours I've played. I'd like to move to a highly-populated server but I'm worried about ping.
I live on the West Coast (San Francisco). Nova is the biggest West Coast server I've seen, located in Los Angeles.
However, Stoneheart seems to have some cool player-made activities like DD races and stuff; all sorts of cool videos on YouTube. But the server is located in Texas.
I think I'd prefer Stoneheart for that reason, but will it have a higher ping because it's over a thousand miles away? I don't want to live in a laggy mess.
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm the SLAM technician at my office--I do the scans and all the virtual surveying on Carlson Point Cloud Advanced. Our office mostly does residential surveying of houses.
Almost all of the virtual surveying I do manually--creating points and drawing lines in the cloud, then putting it together in CAD. I've tried out some of the feature extraction tools on CPA (building, ground, curbs, trees, etc.), but they just don't produce useable results. We need the precision to equal about 0.3', but the output from the CPA tools is not even close (usually total nonsense, really). I've spoken with the owner of a point-cloud processing company, and he said the same thing: any time spent trying to get feature extraction to work is usually less efficient than just doing the damn thing manually. So at their company they did all manual surveying, like me.
We bought the MLX SLAM scanner with the primary intention to reduce hours spent on project to increase profit. The dream is to have me put a point cloud into a program and have AI do all the work and spit out a useable, detailed, accurate map. But as it is, I'm mostly doing manual virtual surveying, and I'm only marginally faster at virtual surveying than our field crews were (minus all the trips back out to get stuff we missed, or the need for two guys).
I have not seen any software perform to the necessary level yet, but there are so many brands of point-cloud processing/classification/extraction softwares out there. I don't have time to try each out, learn it, and compare it.
Have any of you had success with point cloud feature extraction or classification? I'm currently investigating "Pointly" point-cloud classification. Have any of you tried this?
Thanks!
Edit: Additional question: I'm trying to get an idea of how fast I am, and how fast I should be. Feedback please: Example: an average 5000 sq. ft. house, average amount of features and topography. I can prep the site and scan it in about 2-3 hours. I can virtually survey and draft one of these in about 8 hours (other office guy does boundary, I do features, hatching, contours, spot points, and finishing details/title block). Am I slow? If so, how can I speed up?
