Ya I don't even know how they determine its "on or off" state. I kinda just assume they used the direction of a particle.

You should read A Brief History of Time
it has a chapter on quantum physics that goes a bit into how that stuff works, although not really on quantum computers.. but it should give at least some level of understanding of the basics
makes it a little bit easier to understand the descriptions on the more specific phenomena at the very least :D

There are different implementations of a qubit.
It occurs to me there's been a lack of them in news for a couple of years. Guess the funding rounds are over.
shell garden
not necessarily just 3 states
my understanding is that a quantum computer (effectively) tests all possible states for a given problem
you program it with "success" conditions, and it kinda selects electron paths that reach those conditions
regal pecan
The claimed assumption behind quantum mechanics is that a particle takes all possible paths (described as a waveform) and then collapses to the one result that matters (at random?).
You shape the waveform to resemble the solution to the formula you're trying to compute, then throw particles at the problem until your answer is sufficiently evident.
shell garden
yah that's what i said
regal pecan
Each qubit is a particle, so the more of those the better.
shell garden
when employing quantum mechanics (i.e. at the temperatures and scale that quantum computers run) electrons can be expressed as probability fields
regal pecan
I like to imagine you could use any other random mechanism to do the same, except the only formula you could compute is the normal distribution.
shell garden
I like to imagine you could use any other random mechanism to do the same, excep...
the trick is to program in success and failure states
narrow down the field of probabilities for what answers you get
maybe think of it like a chessboard. a regular computer can look at each move, one at a time, and min/max the best move
every additional move it looks ahead increases the time exponentially
a quantum computer can be programmed with the rules of chess, and electrons will then favour the max path
so it effectively tests all possible moves at once
the "larger" the quantum computer, the more moves it can look ahead
but as long as the rules are well defined enough in the programming, it will take very close to the same amount of time to find the best move
shell garden
quantum computers don't just have electrical current. they also have electrical previous and electrical next.

faint dock
@white storm where is that from?
white storm
the story about this code is funny
white storm
in last year, when Aganim's Labyrinth has out, they pushed on their public git LUA source files of this event, and this C++ files with comments like "i cant make such spell on this shitty scripting language" or smth like this, the irony is, all modding in Dota on lua, and as former dota's mod creator, i can admit, it would be much easier to code on C++
faint dock
poor technical designers
that have to deal with that
i've used the output of clarity (java dota2 replay parser) in a ue4 project
i hated them for having different names for the same hero

source engine uses two classes
C++ and KV classes
DECLARE_ENTITY_CLASS_WITH_LIMITED_INHERITED_DATADESC( CDOTA_Ability_Invoker_ColdSnap, CDOTA_Ability_Invoker_InvokedBase, "invoker_cold_snap" );
this is linking C++ class to KV class
its like reflection system much much better then UE4's one
faint dock
i just found it confusing back then because there were a couple of special cases
white storm
But can u override it like this?)
with creating new entity based on C++'s one
or you can override any property
etc
so this system is very flexible
i recreated it in ue4 and gonna sell it as plugin
faint dock
maybe that flexibility is the reason for long breaks between patches ๐ฅ
white storm
Source Engine is the reason i suspect
its has poor design
with active code dated back to late 90's

pretty sure that's also the case for other game engines

i really doubt that ue4 has code of ue2

that started in the 90ies

vagrant sand
@unreal cedar @trail wedge re: <#cpp message>
Okay off work. There's a handful of ways to manage that sort of thing... the dumb way is to just associate everything with the level... a smarter mechanism is to have a ticket in-out thing. When game objects need an asset, they request a ticket from the manager, and gets an id... the object returns the ticket when they die. An active count of 0 would flag an asset for deletion... not necessarily delete right away. That's a form of ref counting, but not by a shared_ptr... there's one source of truth that people ask.
GC works too, of course, although it's not as simple as you think. What if the asset's in GPU RAM? (Not really a hard problem... but not something that GC magically solves... like... how does your garbage collector manage both GPU and system RAM?)
unreal cedar
The "ticket" thing you mentioned is just reference counting as you said, and it has the downside of not allowing circular references which is something you need.
Level can't be the thing owning assets either as you can have multiple levels loaded at a time, which will result in duplicated data in memory.
And GC is very much as simple as I think
The CPU-based UObject owns the memory on the GPU side as well. This is actually how Unreal works.
Because every asset has some sort of CPU representation as a UObject it's a non-issue
the GC doesn't need to know anything about the GPU
The only major downside of GC is GC "pauses". Which is why you need to be careful with allocations, and also why unreal's default behavior is to only run the GC every 60 seconds. A well made game isn't constantly allocating lots of memory outside of level loads so this is a very easy tradeoff to make.
vagrant sand
What exactly are you arguing, btw? That the GC system works? Or that other solutions cannot work?
unreal cedar
I can't even remember what started this lol
vagrant sand
It was this image https://imgur.com/SG0HZvw
unreal cedar
No I know that, but what started the GC in unreal thing
vagrant sand
I said the C# GC screwed them out of automatic resource management... not sure how it jumped to UE4.
Ah wait it was me
I gave a video game example. You said that not everything is owned by a world, therefore GC. I said I personally think GC was a mistake in the game engine.
faint dock
though if those are implemented as RAII then where's the problem?
vagrant sand
though if those are implemented as RAII then where's the problem?
That was what I was suggesting.
faint dock
gg ez
vagrant sand
Oh you mean the GC itself?
vagrant sand
i fail to see something wrong with the c++ example
There's nothing wrong. The point I was making is that, if you (while writing business logic) screw up try or using in Java or C#, you silently leak. C++ it's impossible. All the work was done within the resource-managing class.
faint dock
pretty sure it's possible to leak
vagrant sand
C++ has that nice "I feel more and more uncomfortable" the more and more sketchy code I need to write.
In the C++ shot I mentioned, it's not possible to leak assuming the classes clean up correctly.
All control flows call the destructor.
vagrant sand
If the classes are dumb then lol whatever... but that's the same for someone who botches the IDisposable pattern
unreal cedar
I didn't mention it when you originally posted it but that's not entirely true, since finalizers will still run in C# at least. You'll leak temporarily, but the moment the GC hits those objects they'll be cleaned up. It just isn't as ideal of a situation as the C++ example
faint dock
i mean you can have exceptions in your destructor
vagrant sand
I didn't mention it when you originally posted it but that's not *entirely* true...
That's part of the problem... if you upgrade your RAM then the above image would start abruptly killing your database server.
faint dock
out of a bullet, out of a leg, and pretty pissed off ๐
vagrant sand
Because GC is dictated by RAM... but database connections are just DB connections
If the GC never fires, your DB goes down
That has happened in a factory I've worked on.
I was called in to fix it.
faint dock
as a former backend engineer i can tell you that you will notice
hanging db connections
unreal cedar
GC should still run periodically even without memory pressure.
Unless you purposefully configured it not to...
faint dock
depending on traffic, within seconds
vagrant sand
Unless you purposefully configured it not to...
Not a good solution.
The only solution is making sure the cleanup is called.
unreal cedar
Well yeah, I never said it was a good idea
but that it's not entirely fair to say C#/Java don't cleanup those resources.
vagrant sand
What I said was that it places burden at the business logic level for remembering resource management.
That's bad.
unreal cedar
Also re: the video game thing, my point was that you can't reasonably build an engine with the scale of unreal without something like a GC. Godot is the only one I know off the top of my head that doesn't use a GC but even that is ref counted.
And the resource cleanup stuff doesn't apply to unreal, because unmanaged resources aren't handled by the GC - only UObjects are.
vagrant sand
Yeah I was mostly griping because I was just recently bit by a Java class that handles native resources but doesn't implement closeable or autoclosable, so I had no idea... just hearing vague stories about factory servers rebooting over the last three years.
Turns out, it was me, three years ago.
unreal cedar
That's the kind of thing that's solved by basically any modern IDE or code analysis package though.
vagrant sand
I ran IntelliJ analysis on it. Didn't find it.
unreal cedar
I can't speak for Java, haven't written that in a long time.
vagrant sand
That was literally one of the things I did when I heard about resource leaks.
unreal cedar
C# has Roslyn Analyzers which absolutely does catch this sort of thing.
vagrant sand
Also... ... depending on the company, static analysis may have never been run.
I was the first person to use it at one of my customers as far as I can tell.
But yeah then you could make the argument "would C++ be the answer in that situation".

COD tools by 2014 were ported to procedural meshes rather than BSP as is
still work as the old ones in editor
unreal cedar
my problem is that source and UE1/2/3 figured out how to do in-editor geometry 20 years ago.
Source 2 basically took BSP and made the tools work on meshes instead, then added a shit ton of extra features on top.
Unreal 4... made BSP a second-class citizen without a replacement and Unreal 5 has mesh tools which are great but not a replacement.
This is a really good thread on what source 2 did right: https://twitter.com/joewintergreen/status/1262662025903128576
vagrant sand
Yeah, it's unfortunate that geometry tools have gone down a bit... but 3D suites have gotten a lot better and more accessible.
unreal cedar
I don't want to have to jump over to maya just to modify some level geo though
or to do blockouts
hammer's hotspot materials and tile meshes are also brilliant. Tile meshes are something I see replicated with blueprint pretty often, but hotspot materials would need a bunch of work integrated with the mesh editor since it affects UVs directly.
humble remnant
The hotspot materials are pretty damn cool, I'll admit that
manic thorn
but as long as the rules are well defined enough in the programming, it will tak...
Awesome info. Kinda have some sort of understanding on how it works.
humble remnant
And as for tile meshes I think that's only fitted to like low graphical fidelity topdowns
unreal cedar
You'd be surprised - it's great for repeated "detail" geometry.
definitely not as cool as the hotspot material stuff though (and more easily replicable without explicit support in unreal)
median wraith
my problem is that source and UE1/2/3 figured out how to do in-editor geometry 2...
Unreal Engine 3 were kinda mediocre
in that area
unreal cedar
I agree, but it was still better than 4's tools.
humble remnant
https://twitter.com/joewintergreen/status/1262675587950186496
I actually made something similar in my own project 
But only for the first part where a mesh is dragged out
unreal cedar
I've seen blueprints that due a similar thing in some marketplace assets. Houdini can also do some similar stuff too.
humble remnant
I came up with an algorithm that places meshes in a line with some random variation
The only function for now is making one mesh a bit wider and another a bit shorter but it's easy to expand, and it can fit nearly any distance
Makes things a bit less samey if anything
I wasted too much time on coming up with it, caused a number of infinite loops, but at least it works now
Would be nice to have a thing like that integrated into the engine though, I'll admit
if anything it would've saved my headaches

There's this subreddit about a game
It's supposed to be played by many people aight
The minimum requirements are a GTX 950, but to get properly stable framerates you need a 1050Ti or better
God, the elitism of the lads in the subreddit is another level
I don't know why people are so obsessed about telling others to upgrade, particularly when there's things that could've been done
That same game has worse graphics than games that run on GTX 750s so there's obviously work that could've been done by the devs
I always take it for granted how I have a "worst case scenario" GPU to test with for my own project but sometimes that isn't exactly possible
Though I would really try to get the worst case scenario as a dev just to be sure things run on it
Second hand hardware is cheap so I believe it's not much of an issue if you have any budget
Hell, I've found PCs for 400 EUR that should be able to run any modern game including CP2077
If you're making a multiplayer game that's supposed to be massively played, you might get away with getting one for 200 EUR to test with
But also gotta be respective of lil Timmy who turned big Timmy and is working a part time job while studying in a second world country and is using his 8 year old PC

for the server I've been here for a month or two actually, for unreal dev about 2 years as a side project. And yeah the sharing is the best part. The secondary thing is learning from others as I help and it's incredible what you learn that way

boy am I glad we're moving to a mountainous area, -5 degrees compared to the city
fluid bloom
I'm originally from Kouvola and I never experienced even 30 C there
I mean, summer was good if we had "helle" grade temperatures, that is over 25 C
now it's 33 C
lake temperature at summer cottage is 28 C
which is ridiculous too ๐
also I think salmon are dying in our rivers due to the water being too warm ๐ค

Linus Torvalds started working on Git on April 3 2005. It was self-hosting 4 days later. On April 20 2005, 17 days after work commenced, Linux 2.6.12-rc3 was publicly released with Git.
that's pretty good!

I have no clue with this didn't made the way to UE4
if they just needed to add a class

prefabs? wut?
in some types of systems the current limitations in how child actors and such work having prefab support would be pretty great
like detachable bits and such
median wraith
Tbh I don't think this even work as a normal prefab where can add actors
but at least the LODs and culling should work
main reason I was doing my importer it's because Epic have one but uses a single BP actor and the culling etc don't work at all
foggy path
my current building system has a somewhat decent implementation for it I think... it compares what part can go into which "slot" and just attaches there, slots are basically just static mesh components where the mesh of it and the part you're trying to attach are compared :P
but I don't have any more complex needs for it than that in my current project, I was doing a prototype which needed it to be much more complex than that
median wraith
I'm trying todo the importer just making a new map layer and a folder with the same name
and placing there the meshes
rather than using a BP
idk
main problem will be to store edited data if you want to reimport
Not only the new UE5 compiles faster but never reach 100% usage at all of CPU

FPS has more to do with scene optimisation than hardware
median wraith
well on the 970 gave good FPS on UE4
pearl elk
yeah but youre not using UE4 are you
scene optimisations will be different across engines
biggest lie the industry ever told... "It just works!"
