the question is how does the dumb little robot know how much keystone to apply, not how to apply keystone in the first place

:rolleye:

yeah, and my point was that you get 5 safe options that you've had time to validated along with all the other goofy config you've exposed to the consumer, so going all space-age on this subproblem and getting the precise micrometer to each pixel of the image does fuckall when the only outputs of this decision are those 5 that you might as well expose with a button because users are stupid and would think it's doing the wrong thing anyway

gotcha. then probably it just sweeps across various angles and makes the user choose what looks decent.

VVVVV what he said

mido you laugh but right now as we shitpost there is a real actual startup, mill computing, which has a seriously :catdrugs: ~radical new cpu architecture~ that they've made all kinds of bold claims about, despite not yet having implemented it (not even in fpga last i looked). oh and it also looks to need ~radical new compilers~, which, of course, have not yet been written

the idea guy is a big name too so they might (may already have) attract real funding

ps i'm avail to write poo poo verilog and poo poo perl for yoscpu

one time i sent a perl script we'd inherited to another team, guy sent back this giant email about how "why, we would NEVER release something that would emit a WARNING" and i couldn't think of a response except laughing, gl trying to change all that legacy

not the same script, but another was clubbing together SQL queries and had a spot with "chop;chop;chop", didn't think much of it until the "OR " with the " " after being crucial because otherwise the chopping would take off the last paren

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
