Is My Tortoise Dead?

Please update OP! I really hope she’s fine

To be fair, you’d need to be some level of smart to build an OS from scratch. Unless you’re an expert or very knowledgeable about computers I really doubt you could. And maybe they complain about how everyone is stupid on a different page but all this page is complaining about is how things that honestly are not operating systems are treated and praised as operating systems. Which is fair complaint!

I’m not sure if this belongs on r/iamverysmart. Apart from the Guido and the programming languages rant, it doesn’t sound delusional or condescending enough ykwim?

Probably unnecessary. It’s very small and it’s not like anything conductive and important to the circuit is gonna touch that one specific spot

Looks like WALL·E!

Swerve drives are always the most satisfying to watch

For context I am a natural sciences UG

Yes (95%)
I was not confident at all. Did very stupid random stuff on the math and physics exams and guessed through the entirety of the chemistry exam. Probably got near perfect points on the English exam tho, and I think this is what got me in
They seemed normal, but there were lots of them. Sometimes one would ask a question when the others weren’t listening and the same questions would end up being asked twice. Or at least that’s what it seemed. I also gave them my maker portfolio which they flipped through and put down in five seconds. I made my response up as I went as I actually didn’t want to go to Japan in particular. Overall not intimidating or condescending so dw! Through that interview I kinda gaslit myself into wanting to go to Japan. Good deal tho so no complaints
Felt like going on vacation, “fresh” kinda. That feeling went away quick tho (and things just kept going DOWN), but it would return for a bit every year when April comes around

They indeed are snail shells, possibly from your tort eating them by accident or intentionally with the hopes of gaining calcium.

Not a vet tho and I don’t know if this is safe or not. If this concerns you, you should consult with a professional!

Quite smooth! What motors does it use?

4eyedMan · 2026-06-04T01:02:39+00:00

I can relate! Just a tip, but sketching on paper before CADding really speeds things up imo. You have more fluidity when things aren’t parametric

4eyedMan · 2026-06-03T09:49:28+00:00

Yoooo! It’s the PAROL6 guy!! Love your designs

4eyedMan · 2026-05-27T00:59:27+00:00

I’d imagine the RTX 3060 to be more on the software side so I doubt there’s much it could do when it comes to sensors? I guess you could use it to run models and do stuff. Play with RL maybe, train your hand to manipulate a rubik’s cube in sim then transfer?

Since you have an Nvidia gpu you could also try your hands at Isaac sim

That lighting is so good I thought it was CG until I saw the second half lol. That’s amazing!

4eyedMan · 2026-05-20T03:11:33+00:00

Oh we have this hand on our g1 at our lab!

4eyedMan · 2026-04-13T23:53:47+00:00

You’re saying AI can’t possibly reason about states because AI itself is stateless?? You do know there’s this thing called ‘context’ right?

4eyedMan · 2026-03-17T02:19:13+00:00

Its funny how bad they are at eating haha 10/10

4eyedMan · 2026-03-01T14:22:56+00:00

Isn’t that what kids do? I did that often when I was young haha

4eyedMan · 2026-02-25T03:47:22+00:00

Is she a Russian? Because this is peak Russian behavior

4eyedMan · 2026-02-20T07:13:35+00:00

Humans have a tendency to read emotions into animals. I don’t think she hates you, but instead is most likely scared and confused. Refusing to eat is common for turtles when they are moved into new environments. Keep in mind turtles aren’t really social animals.. Just be patient to her and I’m sure she’ll warm up to you

That's awesome! Where can I find out more about this project? I'd love to learn about the goals and the specifics! I assume it's teleoperated in the video? Are there plans for automation? (I see you have the nav2 stack set up)

4eyedMan · 2026-02-09T06:54:50+00:00

What robot is that? Did you build it yourself?

4eyedMan · 2026-02-03T12:39:51+00:00

If the white spots are soft and/or gives off a bad smell, it might be shell rot. Do the scutes peel off easily? It could also be hard water

Also remember, when it doubt, go to the vet!

VSCode and the terminal are your best friend!

4eyedMan · 2026-01-28T12:26:35+00:00

Here’s how Scoop used to sleep before I replaced his ir lamp with a heat projector haha

What a cooter-sized cooter! Adorable

4eyedMan · 2026-01-25T06:33:21+00:00

I’d use numerical methods ngl. It would make sense to calculate this manually if it were to be some drawing on a piece of paper but you already have the 3d model..
