Waste of time and energy. People forget how much activity happened in that area over 20 years during the Iraq/Afghanistan fiasco that didnt achieve anything. Same story will repeat because the chimp troupe cant handle that level of complexity no matter what toys they have. So its like spending time collecting data on ants, that have learnt to speak and have declared they are going to control the weather. There are better things to waste a life and career on.

"Greatness cannot be planned" - K. Stanley

Technology, methods and people at the time are bound to have been different, even if only slightly so.

Throughout history, many things were thought of as wasteful and looked over, until some people serendipitously spent time and energy and found some diamond in the dirt.

I prefer Terrence Howard’s version. This table doesn’t even label the musical key of each element.

Does anyone have any suggestions on something that's a little higher quality, i.e. more torque and larger, like the size of a UR5 but cheaper than $30k? There's always seems to be a gap between "robot arm with dynamixels/off the shelf servos" and "research-grade arms".
dosssman · 2 years ago
Probably not UR5 size, but Aloha robot arm sounds like something you might be interested in: https://www.trossenrobotics.com/aloha-kits

This is funny to me and maybe worth mentioning. In prison they charge inmates for this game on the tablets, is that legal? It's AccessCorrections or Access something, I know for a fact, I played it for years and now hate it because of the associations it draws for my uneuphoric recall of doing time. They also charge for Andors Trail, another open source project.

Just curious, but was it an US prison ? I have trouble seeing them allowing the prisoners to play game. Also, how are the prisoners supposed to make money to pay for the game ?

Thanks in advance.

Best proof that we need more people in the world! ;-)

While I understand the sentiment, I think we might not necessarily need more people in the world, but enable more people who already came to life to live up to their potential. Too much human potential is wasted in under developed regions.

My wife asked me to install ARK for her recently, and it was 500GB. The ship has sailed.
dosssman · 2 years ago
Ark Survival Evolved ? Base game should be around 135GB, and you don't have to install all the different maps at the same time since you won't be switching between them frequently. If you want to run a dedicated server on top of that, those are around 25GB per map, so it is not that crazy I think.

> They believe the patient was probably infected with the parasite directly from touching the native grass or after eating the greens.

After reading this, it got me wondering how parasites actually get into the human body if not directly ingested, as that seems fairly straightforward. That led me to this interesting snippet[0]:

> Parasites usually enter the body through the

- Mouth

- Skin

> Parasites that enter through the mouth are swallowed and can remain in the intestine or burrow through the intestinal wall and invade other organs. Often parasites enter the mouth through fecal-oral transmission.

> Some parasites can enter directly through the skin. Others are transmitted by insect bites.

> Rarely, parasites are spread through blood transfusions, in transplanted organs, through injections with a needle previously used by an infected person, or from a pregnant woman to her fetus.

Now, my remaining questions: how and why does a parasite navigate the body? For example, how did the parasite in this article likely begin in her digestive system and end up in the brain? Do they swim aggressively (yuck)? If so, does their destination matter to them?

This reminded me of a Dr House episode where the patient somehow ingested tape worm eggs, which managed to make their way into the brain, thigh muscle etc... through blood, then hatch there.

Looks like it is referred to as Neurocysticercosis [0].

The parasite does not necessarily chose where it might end up, so it is up to luck. The victim probably ingest a bunch of eggs, which will find their way into different parts of the body, with different level of survivability. The brain does look like a cosy place to survive.

"the concrete proof" Louise posted was a pretty straight forward explanation from Micay with Louise basically dismissing the entire thing with "You dont get to bully people' Without even reading the comments. It's clear louise is upset or scared and gaslighting his audience about this entire thing.

He actually accused him of being willing to sabotage his entire OS just to target one person on an OPEN SOURCE Project. He also weaponized his self admitted autism diagnosis and used it to slander a talented developer.

"Louise basically dismissing the entire thing with "You dont get to bully people' Without even reading the comments."

> This is either a troll, or a very dishonest take ? Rossmann literally reads his messages in the video, as well as his own answers, and explain his rationale for distancing himself from the project.

Yes, he is "scared", because Micay comes out of the blue to accuse him of supporting "murder attempts" against his person, and to "publicly expose Louis" for all the wrong he has allegedly done to him (Micay).

At the cost of using a very simplistic analogy, if the cook at the restaurant I eat daily keeps threatening retribution for unfounded reason, I will make sure to not only stop eating there, but make others know the situation in case something happens to me.

basically a high profile youtuber decided to weaponize his fanbase to smear and slander a talented developer because he couldn't get what he wanted out of him. Rossmann mischaracterizes his interactions with Micay and even attempts to used his admitted diagnosis of autism against him. He claims one thing but if you actually read the interactions yourself you'll notice Micay is upset but adamant about his allegations of harassment. Rossmann quite dismissive of his entire explanation and decides he has a better narrative that most people will swallow. Rossmann tone policing a talented dev off his own open source project is the latest in a long line of unwarranted cancellations

Please tell us what Rossmann would want from Micay ?

Rossmann made some of the most enthusiastic videos spreading awareness about the GrapheneOS project, and even provided funding through his work at FUTO. What does Micay have to offer to him, beside keep working on his project ?n

It's pretty clear to me that Rossmann decided he would go after Micay to protect himself in some way. Louis has openly and proudly stated he has "no patience" for anyone with mental issues that aren't "putting in enough effort to be normal". he's made videos about this and commented to this effect. I believe Rossmann grew fustrated with Micay at some point and then decided to bait him into a reaction so he could take him out of context to.. i dont know get back at him? Its not very clear to me exactly why he would do this.. but i urge you to rewatch the original rossmann video with a sober eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0& then watch this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Pj0Z2__SI

To quote your "Louis has openly and proudly stated he has "no patience" for anyone with mental issues ...", I would say he has not only demonstrated a great amount of support for the GOS project, but also a fair amount of patience with Micay.

Building upon this, I will further quote your " I believe Rossmann grew fustrated with Micay at some point and then decided to bait him into a reaction so he could take him out of context to.. i dont know get back at him? Its not very clear to me exactly why he would do this."

How is it a bait when Rossmann privately tried to clear up the misunderstanding about GOS and Micay's situation with Micay in private, which did not pan out 8 months ago. He asked Micay to stop contacting him about his "Informative, but unfortunate comment" on Techlore's video, even offering a fresh start for Micay to give his perspective. Instead, the latter doubled down on accusations that Rossmann was supporting harassing campaign against him. Please keep in mind that this was around 8 months ago. Then Micay contacts him out of the blue in a few days ago, threatening to "ban him and expose him publicly", but this is somehow Rossmann baiting him ?

Maybe you could share with us some missing information that shows how Micay was baited ?

Tom Spark video is hardly fair, as it omits a lot of important information that better shows Rossmann's perspective, just like your comment seems to be doing. His comment section in my opinion is a handcrafted echo chamber that supports Micay, as I left a few comments that addresses the weak point in Tom's analysis, but they have yet to appear in public. Meanwhile, comments that echo his perspetive, which were also left after my comment were left through, and one was even pinned.

In any case, have a nice day.
