I've got a wopet feeder for my cat and would kill for the STLs for the legs and chute lol (but please ofc don't feel obligated to share them free or otherwise). Same reason as you, so I can have it dump into a puzzle feeder.

Anyway, amazing work, any chance a guy can obtain some of your STL files?

At a similar pay scale, I’ve been required to go into homes where folks had COVID. Coworkers have been shot at. I’ve seen things I really would have preferred not to. No job is perfectly sane in that sense.

American? Because this is not normal up here in Canada.

I'd like to second what Veraxus said. I have a steam deck and the ease of use factors are off the chart. At this point my gaming PC sits nearly entirely unused, I do everything on my steam deck, even playing Caves of Qud lol

FWIW the Canadian supreme court made piracy laws unenforceable on purpose, so you also don't need a VPN in Canada.

Seems like while on average a human can be expected to "naturally" throw better than a monkey, most monkeys are perfectly capable of learning to throw with skill comparable to a human.

I'm not sure how you're getting that impression. The quote you put there doesn't show up in the paper even once, and in fact if you search for "aimed throwing" you'll see several instances where they discuss the aimed throwing accuracy of the monkeys. Even in just the abstract there's a few places where they make it clear the monkeys are aiming (and additionally that's what they were measuring).

For both species we found positive correlations between target distances for throwing accuracy, direction and strength of hand preference, percentage of bipedal vs tripedal throws, and percentage of overarm vs underarm throws.

In fact, they go so far as to clearly state that the monkey throwing is a suitable model of human throwing, meaning that the way they throw is similar enough to us that we can actually learn about ourselves from it.

We believe that the capuchin monkey is an informative nonhuman primate model of aimed throwing in humans and that research examining the throwing behavior of capuchins provides insight into the neurological and behavioral characteristics that underlie coordinated multi-joint movements across the primate order.

Anyway, that's all the time I'm gonna spend on this mythbusting lol.

Additionally being bipedal means that as we run our breathing rate is separate from our gait. As four legged animals gallop the motion of their running expands and contracts their diaphragm, forcing them to breath at the same rate they run at.

Since they can't sweat like us, or breath like us, they have to stop running and start panting in order to cool down.

While humans can just keep going, relentlessly, like the It Follows monster.

You could have an "about this website" section that lists the tools and packages you used, and so on. If I saw that on a candidates website (a little section detailing how the page was made and crediting sources) I'd be insanely impressed. That's the kind of person you know you can work alongside.

Unless it's like a super minimalist web 1.0 vibe, like basically almost pure html barebones text.

Bro yeah that's true but like women couldn't even vote till recently damn

https://kbin.social/m/genart -> it's a community for sharing and discussing generative art!

Thanks lol I struggled with how to format this link

aebrer, 9 months ago

Only saying this for general informational purposes, but if you want to be able to follow Lemmy and Mastodon content and post either, kbin supports that out of the box (masto style content is called "microblogs")

Maybe (or at least an albecuire drive)

Maybe

Probably not

Also some more "basic" things like cheap MRI without requiring helium (which we are running out of), cheap and easy magnetic levitation (more available high-speed trains)

Afaik they did build it in real life, and the paper in fact is about the process for manufacturing it, not just about the properties or simulations.

People have replicated the simulations so far, but are still working on replicating the manufacturing process, as it has low yeild and some variability apparently

Interesting I hadn't seen that. Do you have a source I could check out? There's six authors so it'd help figure out what you're referring to

aebrer, 9 months ago

Yeah artificial gravity I was thinking more along the lines of faking it via magnetism.

Albecuire drive I was just wrong about, you're right it's not a maybe it's a nearly 100% no lol.

Sorry just excited.

My understanding (limited) is yes. If you want quantum secure cryptography you need to use specific algorithms designed for it.

I mean she said she prefers to quilt alone as it's a self enjoyment time. I think it's probably best not to try to insert yourself into that, and respect her stated wishes.

aebrer, 9 months ago

You got a title for that one? Sounds like something I'd enjoy

Canadian poutine eater here.... IMO sadly there is no substitute for the curds. They are just texturally unique. It's quite important considering it's one of only three ingredients.

I know your pain though, I was living in the states for a bit and it was basically impossible to get good poutine. If I wanted it I had to make it myself, which meant a long trip to Tillamook to buy cheese curds from the source direct.
