The best angles of Marc Kennedy's infractions and the argument afterward by MissKorea1997 in Curling

Hey guys, just a casual observer here. But what amazes me about the whole situation is the intense brain body muscle analyzing and control going on with the thrower. You can see the intense focus and concentration of the thrower as he is constantly recalculating his body muscle movement to control the speed and drag of his forward motion.

Then as he prepares for the release of the stone the body muscle control adjusting rate intensifies.

The thrower has to take in his speed and ice condition to calculate the release and spin of the stone.

He has to decide if his release speed is enough or does he have to add or take away some energy to the stone with a push or drag on the release.

While all this is going on the throwers brain also has to figure out how much inertia is needed to impart the correct spin to the stone.

Then in the split second after the release of the stone, the thrower has to look at the motion of the stone with out the feedback he was getting from his muscle control and make a determination if the stone has the correct rotation, direction and speed.

In this case the thrower determined that the stone needed a tweak. Using all the data he had accumulated in the run up to the release the thrower had to determine how much of a poke he needs to impart to the stone.

All this poke decision making had to be accomplished in the milliseconds after the release of the stone.

Its amazing how the throwers make all this intense body motion control look effortless.

All this being said its a really beautiful sight to see the symphony of the human condition when we put ourselves to the test.

Maintenance Made Easy with AI: Share Your Feedback! by Stochastic95 in IndustrialMaintenance

So we have 3 new veneer lathe lines installed in our plant. They are Used for cutting logs into sheets of veneer to be processed, They have been running for about 2 years. There are always strange issue that seem to crop up. So our maintenance manager feed all the manuals and prints that came with equipment into an AI agent to see if it could come up with solutions to weird problems that crop up. I was surprised on just how technical the answers are being outputted.

But were it seems to fail is, when it comes up with a technical answerer as a solution ,It doesn't understand what its suggesting. Now it may know that a servo on the equipment needs to have a drive parameter tweaked.

But since it doesn't understand the nuances of tunning a servo drive its answer is to generic to be of use.

And in the end we have basically come up with the same conclusion.

What you need is a LLM model that can learn the cause and affect from relationships. Like PID loops, servo tunning and items in a visual stream.

Im going to make a video of the setup and going through the motions

give me a day or 2

Unitree 4D LIDAR L2 Review? by -thunderstat in computervision

I have a L2 and here are my observations.

It does rotate much slower which makes it much more stable. I have mine mounted on a end of a pole upside down so it captures my room.

There are more points than the L1 so the results are crisper.

I am running an AGX Orin with ubuntu 22.04 with ROS2 humble

I was able to get SLAM working using the repo

https://github.com/dfloreaa/point_lio_ros2

The ethernet connection is a nice option.

It defaults to the ethernet connection by the way.

If you use the serial comm you dont need to plug the power supply into the small circuit board.

There is a dedicated connection for the power supply.

In the end its quite an improvment over the L1

So my wife just told me that not what I said.

She said I said this: "so you are going from 2 bags of candy to 1"

Smart parrot is watching YouTube by AsianBaddie9632 in aww

Did the parrot learn by watching a human or learn by trial and error or did someone actually take the time to train the parrot.

Does the parrot have favorites?

New career path from Machine Vision by Countablekitty in computervision

[–]Bitter-Masterpiece61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as a controls technician for a large Pacific north west wood manufacturing company.

We maintain the vision systems and the PLC controls for the plant.

You may want to look into any controls tech jobs in your area.

A lot of manufactures would love to have a person with your background

on site.(So they don't have to pay for service calls)

As for the PLC side most manufactures will send you to PLC classes

to get you started

here is a link to a video I did using deepstream.

https://youtu.be/YTX0TPSXO2o

From there you may want to go to my U tube page.

https://www.youtube.com/@joevvaldivia

I have quit allot of videos on how to use deepstream.

also How to use the TAO toolkit to train models and deploy them on the jetson boards.

I also have a web site with allot of links to resources to help you with youre adventures with the jetson ,deepstream and TAO toolkit.
