I’ve heard this said many, many times, but I’ve yet to see an actual source on it.

I collected Orks in 3rd edition. I have the big black book, I have the codex, I was subscribed to White Dwarf. I don’t recall seeing anything like that at the time. I could be wrong, of course, but you’d have thought I’d have seen the source by now.

No idea, I was responding to their first paragraph.

That Ork stuff is a meme. Their tech works, it’s not powered by imagination. They’re an artificial species with vast amounts of knowledge embedded in their DNA. How to build their tech is literally in their blood.

Edit: I see a lot of upvotes for an unsourced meme text. In recent codices they’ve explicitly added the “psychic WD-40” to the lore. It didn’t exist before but the internet memed it into canon.

So far GW have not added “gun works through happy thoughts”, either now or historically. I’m being definite about this in the hope that someone will prove me wrong out of spite.

As the parent of a tiny child this is great to see. I couldn’t give less of a shit about violent contents in games and ratings based on that sort of unproven rubbish. However games that deliberately implement dark patterns are literally designed to be dangerously manipulative and that I want to be able to make informed decisions about.

Don’t reinvent the wheel, learn the Baguette on Snails framework!

I prefer writing JSON by hand. The whitespace stuff in YAML is just such a nuisance as far as I’m concerned, which is odd as I have no problem with it in Python.

As someone who works with YAML regularly:

Fuck YAML.

I’m sure if you just AI harder things will improve.

Nice! I’ll update my container and give it a go.

Hmmm, an RPi with a camera might well work. The problem there is more the amount of work I’d need to do - I haven’t got that kind of time right now.

An honest answer that it’s not currently easily doable is in and of itself useful.

This is a “nice to have”. I figured I’d ask preemptively so that I didn’t go down a blind alley. Thanks!

I would be buying. The cam I borrowed wouldn’t fit the setup I want, I just mentioned it because I want that functionality but without the hassle of pulling the SD card.

So far it doesn’t sound like what I want exists, unfortunately.

That essentially boils down to “build your own solution”, which under my current circumstances amounts to “don’t do it”. Not that I lack the skill or will but the spare time and energy I have is used on my baby daughter. I can’t justify rabbit holing on something like this.

It’s why I created this thread - to see if there’s a software and hardware combo that solves this with minimal additional work.

WiFi would be easily sufficient. We’re talking a distance of 10m from my router, tops.

I borrowed a camera - it’s not the one I would be using for this.

That’s why I’m asking. I haven’t bought anything yet and don’t want to get the wrong thing.

That would be possible, yep.

If it can only handle tasks I can do myself it’s not very useful.

My experience has been that more complex cases it simply cannot manage. It’ll swear blind that it’s got it right and the result will be super specific to the example provided. If I knew what the strings would be exactly, in advance, I wouldn’t be writing regex 😂

That’s the thing though - I find that what it saves me in time writing it costs me in reviewing. I hate reviewing.

Shall we ask it to write functional regex too while we’re at it?
