Project Files: . This is the 36th part of the tutorial series, where we are going to implement a Real Time Strategy game using Unreal Engine and C++. Today we are going to work on how to show the health bar of the character when player hover cursor over the characters in the game. We have already implemented a gameplay message that is broadcasted when player hover over a pawn and the HUD is listening to that message using gameplay messaging system. This event will be used to detect what character the player is currently hovering over and that event will be used to show the healthbar.

When it comes to Apple, all eyes are on AI. Generative AIis the most disruptive technology we’ve seen in years; it is weaving itself into all parts of life – so why should IT management be left unscathed? It won’t be, and the latest AI-powered IT management features within the Jamf platform will soon be the kind of tools IT expects. Jamf is a leading Apple-in-the-enterprise device management . The company has been working away on AI features to support its solutions for some time, and has at last introduced some of these at its Jamf Nation Live event. The tools are designed to boost efficiency and support better decision-making when it comes to handling your fleets. Of course, you’d expect anyone fielding genAI solutions to say something like that, so what do these tools do? Introducing Jamf AI Assistant Available as a beta, AI Assistant is designed to support tech support! That means it will help IT admins find what they need and help them understand how and why devices they do find are configured. Jamf splits these two paths into two categories: Search skill and Explain skill. Search skill lets admins perform natural language inventory queries across their managed fleets, enabling them to quickly find devices within their flotilla that meet the search parameters. The goal is to make it quicker and easier to audit managed devices for compliance, and to troubleshoot when things go wrong. Explain skill caters to another facet of an IT admin’s daily challenges. As Jamf explains, it means the genAI can translate complex configurations and policies into clear, easy-to-understand language. This helps admins make informed decisions, streamline troubleshooting and manage policies more confidently, says Jamf. While these new Jamf tools don’t automate much of the workload facing IT, it’s not hard to see how once the AI can understand what’s happening on a Mac and identify those devices that meet a set of parameters, the only missing piece is to automate some of the workflow in between. This, of course, is the direction of travel and will likely ripple across IT and every platform. Who knows, it might even make the cost of supporting Windows fleets almost as affordable as that of managing fleets of Apple devices.Beyond AI Jamf also made a handful of announcements outside of AI, including the general availability of Blueprints, a set of tools the company announced at JNUC last year. Blueprints builds on Apple’s Declarative Device Management framework and is designed to simplify and accelerate device configuration by consolidating policies, profiles and restrictions into a single, unified workflow. This makes a lot of sense on a road map to further AI deployment, as well as for anyone attempting to manage and deploy large Apple fleets. I imagine admins preparing for mammoth college- or school-wide deployments will have some optimism that Blueprints could help save time. Don’t neglect that education tech is expected to deploy thousands of devices in a few weeks, so these tools should be significant to them. Jamf continues working on Blueprints, and has introduced a beta release of Configuration Profiles within Blueprints. This tech consists of a new dynamic framework designed to help teams manage devices at scale, thanks to the new dynamic framework for MDM key delivery. Ticket to ride Jamf has offered a Self Service+ portal since earlier this year. Aimed at end-users, the system lets users request, download and update apps, as well as monitor their device security. Those features have been expanded with identity management tools, so users can view their accounts change passwords, and request things like temporary admin access. The beauty of Self Service+ is that it enables users to do these things autonomously while keeping their devices fully auditable and compliant. The idea is that it’s a lot better to focus the expensive tech support teams on the big problems, rather than seeing them bogged down in small, transient, challenges.  The company also introduced Compliance Benchmarks. Based on Apple’s macOS Security Compliance Project, this system helps IT automate the process of securing their Apple devices. Jamf has also added malware detection to its App Installers module, which means every application made available through that system is scanned to maintain security confidence. That’s really important to companies attempting to provision apps to employees, particularly if they want to avoid accidental installs of hacked malware posing as the original app. You can follow me on social media!

An anonymous reader quotes a report from SiliconANGLE: Hugging Face has open-sourced the blueprints of two internally developed robots called HopeJR and Reachy Mini. The company debuted the machines on Thursday. Hugging Face is backed by more than million in funding from Nvidia Corp., IBM Corp. and other investors. It operates a GitHub-like platform for sharing open-source artificial intelligence projects. It says its platform hosts more than 1 million AI models, hundreds of thousands of datasets and various other technical assets. The company started prioritizing robotics last year after launching LeRobot, a section of its platform dedicated to autonomous machines. The portal provides access to AI models for powering robots and datasets that can be used to train those models. Hugging Face released its first hardware blueprint, a robotic arm design called the SO-100, late last year. The SO-100 was developed in partnership with a startup called The Robot Studio. Hugging Face also collaborated with the company on the HopeJR, the first new robot that debuted this week. According to TechCrunch, it's a humanoid robot that can perform 66 movements including walking. HopeJR is equipped with a pair of robotic arms that can be remotely controlled by a human using a pair of specialized, chip-equipped gloves. HopeJR's arms replicate the movements made by the wearer of the gloves. A demo video shared by Hugging Face showed that the robot can shake hands, point to a specific text snippet on a piece of paper and perform other tasks. Hugging Face's other new robot, the Reachy Mini, likewise features an open-source design. It's based on technology that the company obtained through the acquisition of a venture-backed startup called Pollen Robotics earlier this year. Reachy Mini is a turtle-like robot that comes in a rectangular case. Its main mechanical feature is a retractable neck that allows it to follow the user with its head or withdraw into the case. This case, which is stationary, is compact and lightweight enough to be placed on a desk. Hugging Face will offer pre-assembled versions of its open-source Reach Mini and HopeJR robots for and with the first units starting to ship by the end of the year. of this story at Slashdot. #hugging #face #introduces #two #opensource

For homebuyers interested in new construction, common options range from customizing a builder’s model to working with a design-build firm to create a one-of-a-kind home. But in recent years, a quieter trend has emerged: Some buyers are skipping the blueprints and starting with a blank canvas by purchasing undeveloped, or “raw” land.While the pace of land sales has cooled slightly, a Realtor.com analysis still shows a 1.2% increase in transactions in 2023. The data coincides with broader real estate trends, from housing inventory shortages to a rising interest in multigenerational living. The top land markets, according to Realtor.com, are California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Colorado. “For many of my clients,comes down to freedom, creativity, and privacy,” says Harley Bush, a real estate agent with Caughman Realty in Midlands, South Carolina. “They want the ability to design every inch of their home, not just pick from a builder’s limited models. They want space to grow, the ability to orient their home around a lake view or sunset, or even create a small family compound.”That said, buying land to develop and build a house on comes with significantly more considerations than purchasing a home or building one in an existing neighborhood. Ahead, some tips from real estate pros on how to buy undeveloped land, including the steps you need to take and the hidden costs and hurdles that can pop up. Related StoriesIs it Worth it to Buy Undeveloped Land? Altaf Shah / 500px//Getty ImagesBuying undeveloped land is attractive to buyers who want customization that it allows for, but there is a unique set of risks and some extra due diligence that comes with going this route, says Matthew Coates, president and principal of Coates Design Architects. In addition to design freedom, those who buy raw land generally get more acreage, more mature landscaping, better views, and fewer neighbors, he points out. Buyers can also create a more sustainable and energy-efficient home, something that’s more difficult to retrofit into an old house.“The most successful buyers I deal with see it as a long-term project right from the start, rather than thinking it will be a quick endeavor,” Coates says. “They ask the right questions, assemble the correct team, and go in eyes wide open.”That long-term mindset is especially important when it comes to infrastructure. Buyers should be prepared for some logistical hurdles. The big four are water, power, sewage, and road access, says Elena Novak, the lead real estate analyst and researcher at PropertyChecker.com, a property records search site.“In rural areas, you may need to drill a well, install a septic system, and build a road to reach the site,” Novak says. “If electrical service is far away, utility companies may charge thousands to bring in a new line.” Some buyers also forget about internet and cell service, and may need to explore alternative options like satellite.How to Buy Undeveloped LandDan Reynolds Photography//Getty ImagesBecause buying undeveloped land is a more technical process than purchasing or building in a pre-existing neighborhood, you’ll want to assemble a team of professionals that can help you navigate the process. Work with a real estate agent who has experience with land deals and can help guide you through the many steps, like zoning research, soil testing, and well and septic planning, Bush recommends. Experts also recommend working closely with surveyors, builders, a real estate or land-use attorney—and, in some cases, a local planner or civil engineer—to help ensure there are no surprises leading up to closing.Here’s some key steps to take when buying undeveloped land with the intention of building a home on it, according to Novak. 1. Understand zoning and land use regulations.Start by confirming the property is zoned for residential use and investigating any limitations that could affect your building plans. “Not all residential-looking land is buildable,” Novak says. “A buyer should visit the local planning department to verify what can legally be built, whether permits are available, and if there are restrictions like easements, flood zones, or conservation overlays.” A land survey can also help you confirm property boundaries and flag any encroachments or easements.2. Coordinate soil and percolation tests.This is especially important in rural areas where a septic system may be needed.3. Consult with an architect and builder Bring in professionals to assess the land’s buildability based on slope, layout, and access. “Land might appear perfect on the surface, but hidden challenges can be expensive,” Novak says. “For example, steep slopes may require retaining walls, and wetlands or protected species on-site can limit where and how you build.”4. Have a title search and legal review performed This step helps uncover any liens, boundary disputes, or rights-of-way that could delay or derail your project, Novak says. It’s also worth noting that fraudulent listings of vacant land have become a common scam tactic. A proper title review can help protect you from being caught in one of these “title pirate” schemes.“Land deals are more technical than buying a home,” Novak says. “But with the right team, the right checks, and a bit of patience, it’s one of the most rewarding ways to create a home that truly reflects your values and lifestyle.”How to Finance Undeveloped Land RyanJLane//Getty ImagesThe most common path to financing undeveloped land is securing a lot loan, which typically requires a larger down payment and carries higher interest rates due to the lack of collateral, since nothing has been built yet.You’ll start by going through a pre-approval process, says Loren Fellows, Vice President, Mortgage Production Manager at Johnson Financial Group. The last thing you want is to sell your current home or be in the middle of drawing up plans before learning that you don’t qualify for the loan.Once you’re ready to build, your lot loan can often be rolled into the financing of the construction loan, she says. If you already own the land, you may be able to use the existing equity in your lot toward the down payment required on the construction loan.Construction financing usually happens in two phases. First, there’s short-term financing that covers the cost of building the home. During this phase, borrowers typically make interest-only payments based on the amount the builder has drawn so far. Once the home is complete and the final draw is made, the loan can then be converted into a long-term, fixed-rate mortgage.Follow House Beautiful on Instagram and TikTok. #this #how #you #can #buy
