Does anyone remember the old crack video era? Where people used to make funny/silly edits of their favourite media, combined with transitions showing some kind of error screen or white noise or whatever?

Yeah I want to revive that, so I am working on one for RE4 because the fandom barely has any and I feel like that’s a huge missed opportunity.

No idea if this person follows me BUT while the industry standard for GIS software (ArcGIS pro) is incredibly expensive, there are open source alternatives like QGIS. A lot of governments and organizations also have open data portals that you can grab data from (shapefiles, CSVs, rasters, whatever).

I've kind of been taught ground-up in person so I don't have recommendations on video tutorials for teaching basic concepts sadly. Bolstadt GIS fundamentals is good and was dirt cheap by textbook standards though (was like $40 iirc).

"Learning GIS" I guess also depends on what you want to do with it? If you want to mess around with cartography and data visualization you could probably just give yourself some pet projects.

How To Learn Math for Machine Learning FAST (Even With Zero Math Background)

I dropped out of high school and managed to became an Applied Scientist at Amazon by self-learning math (and other ML skills). In this video I'll show you exactly how I did it, sharing the resources and study techniques that worked for me, along with practical advice on what math you actually need (and don't need) to break into machine learning and data science.

Hiiiiii I love your animations!! They're rly good and I hope to see more of your works in the future!

I love how you use real life footage and animations together and would like to ask how did you do it? What programs do you use to combine them? I've been wanting to experiment and make my own stuff with this kind of concept for a long while now!!

Hope you're doing well take careeee

Thank you so much for your kind words!!

I use adobe after effect to combine parts of the film (animation, background, sound, etc). As far as I know it’s standard program for that in the industry too. You can probably use something like Sony vegas or any +- complex video editing program

For cold sea I made animated parts in toon boom harmony, but you can really use any program you like. You’d need to export animation as png sequence and then import it in after effects on the layer above real life footage. PNG sequence is standard and arguably the best way to export animation for further work in other programs bc it has transparent background, fine quality and isn’t heavy

I hope my answer is at least somewhat helpful. Don’t hesitate to ask additional questions if you have ones

Switching ownership of my RP accounts to one where my main blog isn't my personal blog. You'll all be getting a follow from registxr.tumblr.com in the next bit.

Python Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators in Python work directly with binary numbers (0s and 1s), which are how computers understand data. They are useful when you want to perform fast and efficient calculations, especially in programming tasks like encryption, compression, or low-level data handling. Instead of dealing with full numbers, these operators compare individual bits of those numbers. Learning them can help you write better-performing code.

Important Bitwise Operators in Python

AND (&) – Compares bits of two numbers and gives 1 only if both bits are 1. Otherwise, it gives 0.

OR (|) – Returns 1 if at least one of the compared bits is 1. It gives 0 only if both bits are 0.

XOR (^) – Gives 1 when the two bits are different. If they are the same, the result is 0.

NOT (~) – Flips every bit in a number. 0 becomes 1, and 1 becomes 0, effectively turning the number negative.

Left Shift (<<) – Moves bits to the left, which is like multiplying the number by 2 for every shift.

Right Shift (>>) – Moves bits to the right, which works like dividing the number by 2 for every shift.

vaguely speculating on the vocal synthesis industry like its fantasy football completely unprompted: if somehow either synthv or cevio managed to get a hold of nurse robo type t for a commercial AI voicebank i think that would usher in her era fully. we're already basically there with how much her talk banks and occasionally her utau banks are used in so many songs..... i keep saying this but i think the nurse robo era is nigh..........

i did these two earlier in the week with the other app! much prefer this one, but these turned out lowkey cute too 🌷
