I've got to say, I'm very happy where scifi is for movies right now. Dune Part 2 came out, and that was a massive hit. Then there's also 3 Body Problem that netflix came up.

They're not hardest of hard scifi, but there's enough out there, that hopefully is big enough, that I'm crazy excited that scifi may become big again.

Look, it's a small amount, yes, but they still exist.

Yes.
Games Workshop hates their players and just wants peoples money.
Spend money on places that actually care about their customers.

Smoker feels like something that's clutter 350 days of the year.
And if it's not, you become one of those people.

I've gotten the lethal company, and honestly it's a fun little game to play with people over voice chat.

Yeah I've slowly been feeling the itch to get out of my city, there's not a lot holding me to this place in particular and my job's been sucking more and more. Rent's going up for a worse time.

I've slapped my resume down to a bunch of places off in Minneapolis and if that doesn't work out, Milwaukee and then Chicago.

That was a rollercoaster

Look, if Wisconsin wants the UP, they can go fight Ohio for it like we did fair and square.

Happy you're still alive Wave, I'm sorry for what happened though.

You know he's a

It's good! Horray!
It's not made by the same team who did Atom Eve, so I'm just happy.

How much does it cost to go on one?

He has some solid videos, though some of his videos are weird? I don't know how else to describe it, like he'll make a review that's more explaining his personal relationship to the film and less about the film itself.

Which, like, I'm good with weirdly? I honestly don't care that much about the latest marvel movie, I'm not going to see it. How it fits into hollywood I'm interested in.

I have been enjoying Cold Takes and some of the other stuff Frost has done, but otherwise yeah. Yahtzee leaving has pretty much eliminated all of The Escapist's appeal, so good luck with that, I guess?

I like In the Frame, Darren Mooney gives very good takes on movies.

Not unusual, really. People take it at different paces, and there's plenty to focus on that takes time but doesn't contribute to the rocket. Is that still just your first map? Or have you fallen into the neverending cycle of restarting repeatedly because your spaghetti gets out of control and you want to start a new base with everything you learned in the last pasta bowl?

Yeah it's happened twice now.

If you appreciate something, and want it to continue to exist, you can throw a bit of money that way to help improve the developers live.

You're more or less thinking in the right direction. There's reason enough why I choose not to spend money, and if I really wanted to push foor something, I'd have no issues getting it. However for petty things like entertainment, I just don't see the value in spending money right now and that's the path I've been down for the past few years now. This is something of my own choosing.

I just simplify it as "I have no money", because that's the easiest way of explaining it to myself and people who ask.

"I don't have money I feel comfortable spending" is probably the best way to explain it.

That's just being cheap my man.

Play Factorio.

adjl posted...

A typical first vanilla playthrough is 30-50 hours,

I've played 60 hours and haven't gotten to a silo yet :(

Oh so factorio should last you 3 months easily with mods.

Just play factorio like every other programmer I know.

I think they should teach the various methods but let the kid decide which works for him and then just grade them on if they got the right answer.

Hell I remember arguing with a teacher. They docked points cause my work was wrong despite my answer being right. I did the work right in my head I just wrote it down wrong by mistake.

Yeah I don't trust kids to fuck up and mix up different methods, causing more and more problems.

Calculus is just a programming language

What.

Yellow posted...

You haven't gotten involved in simulations. Without algebra, you're useless when it comes to any of that.

The physical world runs off algebra and without people understanding it we wouldn't be able to create anything remotely advanced.

Or database management stuff.

Math is honestly about problem solving and learning how to show why you think something's wrong or right.
Which people skip over into it being purely about algebraic numbers.

I blame calculus personally, and everyone saying it's the be-all end-all of mathamatics.

Honestly I never really learned too much about how it works, just that there's a bucket of people upset at it.
But if that's what the teachers associations say is the best way, they know better so I'll go with that.

Yeah probably.

Probably MSG. It's common with many Chinese restaurants in the US.

You should cook with MSG, it's a very convenient way of steering flavor.`

The main review I heard was basically something along the lines of "This was a movie clearly made for kids, and it's fine as that. And most of the backlash is all the neckbeard adults pissed that it wasn't made for them."

I have no idea if that's true, though. I've never liked FNAF (or overacting YouTubers making videos reacting to it) and I didn't watch the movie. So it could be a brilliant masterpiece for all I know.

Children deserve better though.

I do appreciate how everyone said "you look fine" in response to your body, and, maybe there's something else going on.
So, of course, you gotta focus on the something else and be aggressive towards that.

No but hobbies, particularly social hobbies or hobbies that are forced to be done with other people mean, well, you gotta actually communicate with them and deal and create social ques.
It also adds a social lubricant of "hey come over and play board games" where you need to be actively social for 30 minutes, and then play a game with people. Or a hiking trip where you communicate about the hike instead of purely small talk.

More like a hobby.

Earlier this month we put our cat down, and last week my SO's grandmother passed.
We're tired ok.

It's clearly not the looks.

mine too. the ps5 is really poorly designed. im about to pay $250 to have Sony fix it

If it's just a single videogame that's causing this problem, I would blame the game before I blame the system.

That's a physical requirement, yes.
Machines and electronics aren't magic, as nice as it would be. We're still limited by physics, or by price.

If you start using rare earth magnets and gold wire filaments I'm sure you could squeeze a few extra footpounds out of it, but you would skyrocket the price.

I just finished Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John Drury Clark.
Next I'll read Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller. At least it should be good, I'll be fairly critical of the tech side of things.

I've heard someone jumping from one field to another while disrespecting the field they're jumping to is a common thing.

Yeah, it's very easy to look over and say something isn't hard, it's just following the datasheet. Until they actually sit down and build boards and see things working badly. Making something bad is easy, making it good is hard.

Maybe that could work, I just work with motors I don't know the exact details of them. That seems real hard though.

No, I imagine my final setup will be 3 custom ordered PCBs with many custom motor controllers (I got the CM4 specifically for this). I got into CAD to throw together a joint, but realized I have to do a lot of info gathering before I can even start.

Uh, this thing?

Best of luck to you I suppose.

Yellow posted...

When designing my PCBs, I will make sure I take into account burning out my motors, as well as reading feedback, so that I can gauge how much pressure is being put on my motors and feed that back to my CPU. That's much appreciated.

Also remember that without an absolute positioning on the motor, you're going to need to be dead reckoning the exact position. With slippage especially you're going to just drift what your micro thinks the position is, and what's physically there. Little errors that build up over time until your saftey measures take over.
That's the reason why people use steppe motors, going with what people have already used lets you grow from them. You'll basically have to reinvent the wheel.

Oh, ok so this is just theoretical then. You don't have a breadboard setup or a raspberry pi or ESP32 or something physical.

For the record, engineering doesn't do perfect math. We have different models for different levels of complexity with different levels of abstraction. A wire heating up from electricity flowing through it can be modeled a half dozen different ways depending on what you're doing.

Oh, the reason why robotics tends to use stepper motors instead of DC motors is they don't have any internal feedback, so you're way more likely to burn out your motor when, say, the motor is caught. It's fine if you're in a completely controlled system, but if you're dealing with real machines out in real life you're going to cause issues.

You could always create a feedback loop, but you should look up control loop programs and the math associated with it if you're serious about it.

Sup, EE here.
I'm a bit lost with what your problem is and what your proposed solution would be. What exact motor are you using and what's your exact Voltage and Amperage? In the datasheet you normally have a chart you can refer to for the RPM and torque.

Additionally, that's not a quirk that you're using. That's just how DC motors work.

Yeah YT has entered a new blocking phase for me. Directly in-video rather than the popup-thing.

ublock seems to fix it, I've had to change adblockers for it though. Which I should have done a bit ago, so thanks youtube.

Time to start looked on linkedin then!

The FPGA-based ones?

Such is the nature of translation. If they called the show Oni Slayer we wouldn't have that, but, that's translation for you.

You could be pregnant.

Oh those bunnies saying funny things.

I like it, but then I like chinese and american chinese food.
