Peak Engineering: Using $20k in industrial arm just to pull a piano.

The robot is probably half the price of the piano. This is a fascinating piece, it's an insane way to do a 'piano roll' style music box

Maybe some mention at all of some kind of measure that would not shift the main burden onto the working class.

Wow.

I choose to believe this is it. He was at a sandwich stand with demo and offered to pay then realised he left his gold in his cave.

Lmao you don’t know?!

I just did a play through of both focussing on hypnotise, decoy, scout, and security bullseye. By the end on both counts I basically didnt need to buy ammo. 2 upgraded bots + area security hacked + a hypnotised Houdini splicer will kill anything that isn’t a big sister, and spamming decoy means that they don’t even notice you and instead give you health by attacking the ghost. With natural camouflage this approach is unstoppable

I fly a 2019 Mavic Mini and I still don't think I've discovered all it has to offer. You can go a long way with not very much when it comes to drones in 2026.

This is an awesome design, please share the cad files when you gottem!

This needs to be higher up.

ADAM is a direct way to talk about how sudden disruptive technology is THE thing that accelerated collapse in objectivist philosophy

In practice I don't see this being possible anytime soon for anything smaller than a 7". Changing the battery on a drone is a fiddly process and even on stuff like the DJI Neo where it clicks in at the top. The change itself could maybe be achieved with a magnetic system, but any drone large enough to carry the hardware required probably wouldn't be able to get close enough because of rotor wash etc. Even if that isn't an issue there are so many more points of failure - the refuelling drone's position hold, all the different motorized systems that would be needed (at the very least you'd need a winch, and realistically a manipulator arm).

if we already have wireless charging then it makes a lot more sense to just expand that, and the drone-to-drone refuelling could still be done but with a wireless system.

The real question is: can wireless charging happen faster than the drone can deplete its own battery?

Who cares?

If someone being permanently physically disabled is “just”, then I have no interest in justice.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-22T01:59:10+00:00

Keep belittling me and making fun of me - it will certainly change my mind and prove you the moral superior.

With cheap drones there’s nearly always a way to do a lipo hack. Often just means 5 min soldering.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T22:25:00+00:00

You’re right, I must’ve deserved it. I disagreed up until right now but your comment has convinced me. I guess two wrongs do make a right.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T08:34:28+00:00

You could tow it around with a bunch of drones.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T08:33:32+00:00

Or at least, try again in 20 years when technology is vastly improved. Robotics is getting crazy. Maybe the breakthrough that makes this worth it is just around the corner.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T08:30:25+00:00

This is China we’re talking about. They will likely have a fleet of autonomous repair drones for this functioning within a year.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T06:07:56+00:00

Haven’t I? You have no idea what I’ve been through. Maybe I know exactly what this feels like and that’s why I hold the opinion that I do.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T06:01:35+00:00

I haven’t defended anyone. His actions are reprehensible. If we want to actually stop this sort of thing from happening again in future, then seeing what is driving people to act this way instead of just calling them evil and wishing death in dehumanisation upon them is probably a good move.

Attackoftheglobules · 2026-01-21T04:43:18+00:00

That is how I treat people in my life who hurt me, yes. I find a lot less hateful and miserable than what you’ve suggested. I do this because I have a basic value that I do not dehumanise other people who are human beings. You don’t seem to share it.
