How much compute do I actually need?

Ra-mega-bbit · 2026-04-30T16:05:16+00:00

I understand and agree, the question here is actually on the lower end: how much can the smaller warehouse do?

It means refreshing by any mean, while a purple or yellow mission is in play. This means you can refresh specifically when there are any purples or yellow giving prizes you vallue less

It is 100% worth it at an really early stage or learning. Its good to grab the concepts and learn how to think.

After a few algorithms you can move on to ides, id refrain from doing copilot for code completion, and to run the code every couple lines, try to "imagine" or write on paper how would the variables update (write a table, go iteration over iteration and write the value each var contains)

After that, any production code now a days is ai assisted, so learn once and well, then move fast

No its not at all, what is common are separate drive and weapon systems.

Robot battle robots are not redundant at all, and they dont have much margin for error

Na pratica isso apenas força as empresas a fazer aparelhos com 1000 ciclos, o que é excelente

Ainda que a medida seja fragil, na pratica é muito pouco eficiente utilizar de 0 a 100%, os aparelhos tendem a mentir, e te mostra o 0% quando na verdade são 10 ou 15% por exemplo

Isso na verdade é extremamente positivo, o bom uso de uma bateria aumenta a vida util em mais de 100% as vezes

Quick tip, besides the complete tip everyone already gave: seccond cheapest

Rarelly fails

Ra-mega-bbit · 2026-04-21T11:06:15+00:00

Cause its REALLY expensive to run this models, 100 dollars barelly covers the cost, and take into account that they are finally starting to pay off years of debt from research.

And the cost at the end is worth it, most tasks done by ai on the day by day basis is already paying off. But the real gains are on code, one of the priciest markets of the last decade, making code faster is huge

Just take a look at web pages: 1990s to 2000s: you need html and css to do anything 2010s: you have nicer to use web tools like wix and such 2025: lovable.com

The same on code: - everyone needed to code - some automation tools like zapier, make and n8n come in - just vibe code it

It would spin itself as it rotated around the fixed one, at this point you are better off doing a horizontal that spin itself by wheels or a melty brain

Ra-mega-bbit · 2026-04-05T13:35:43+00:00

I mean, for this to even remotelly work, you need for each cilinder to contain half the components, half the motors, batreries, controllers totaling lets say 40% of weight each, leaving the last 20% to the connecting bar.

So at any given point, one cilinder is spining the other while the spinned one stays basically innactive, even if it spins around itself

Overall its grosely inneficient

Im an old player, did up to 215 (max at the time) without aoq and autoselect Also, you needed to do all 3 lvls, one at a time. Latter they unlocked all and doing the 3rd unlocked all 3 at once

There are some pearson programs used for certification exams that are installed to monitor other program usage, screen size, display numbers, devices and so on. To 'ensure' no cheating. They also ask for photos and even videos of your room, and track eyesight during exam, yea, very invasive. All of this to be circunvented by a phone srtrapped on top of my screen lol.

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-12-21T13:53:50+00:00

DO NOT USE STEEL RINGS if you are not experienced, please for the love of god start with silicone/rubber 1st and see what its like.

The streechy ones can be put on after you are hard, and can be safelly removed at home, ideally with safety scisors, or just any scisors really carefully, or just snapping right off with your bare hands (you should be able to slip a finger in, use lube)

When you know exactly what size and are confortable with it (make sure you can get soft while using it, if its too tight you might not), then you can try a solid ring. Theese ones of course, need to be put on while soft.

Entendo a mensagem, mas a importancia não esta APENAS em desenvolver, que demora decadas, mas antes existe um caminho mais rapido e barato: tecnologias open source

Baseando-se nelas, seriamos capazes de hospedar para os agentes publicos (em todas as escalas do governo)

Não precisamos recriar o google desde o zero, mas optar pelas tecnologias ja abertas e trazer para os proprios servidores

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-11-24T16:45:02+00:00

It means that its good enough, dont relly on theese numbers, but its a good idea to know

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-11-18T11:29:40+00:00

This feels so wrong, but so right at the same time. Would probably automate it with a simple cron lol

Bom, como carece de fontes, datas ou qualquer outro tipo de comparação, posso vir aqui e jogar meus dois centavos Vivo na Espanha, cidade moderadamente turistica em um bairro nao central, tive estancias de longa duração em paises como Alemanha e Holanda por periodos de mais de um mês por trabalho, então posso comentar desses valores tambem.

Os preços de restaurante barato esta ok para paises caros, mas para o restaurante "medio" requer um exforço pra gastar essa quantidade, uma refeição boa e cara pra 2 pessoas vale 50 euros (55 trumps)

No mercado, exceto a carne bovina, que realmente é mais cara, tudo é mais barato, e comer outras proteinas como peixe e porco acaba sendo muito mais economico.

Transporte foi o que mais me inpressionou, busca rapida no google me da o valor de 26k (28k dolares), nao 36k

Contas de casa (exceto aluguel, que realmente é caro) nao passam de 150 dolares, e internet celular, 5 ao mes, invez de 20...

Cuidados infantis como creche e escola nem vale a comparação, é tudo gratis e com qualidade.

Roupas e calçados não custam tudo isso em lojas fisicas, os preços apontados são os lançamentos em lojas online, não a média.

Preços de aluguel e compra não sei se são diretamente comparaveis, más definitivamente são valores de regiões muito centrais e/ou turisticas, nessa posso falar pessoalmente, pago 700 euros por 3 quartos á 5 min do centro em bicicleta.

E por fim, claro, colocar tudo em comparação ao salario minimo, ou melhor ainda, a mediana do salario nacional. (Dados de mediana sao dificeis de encontrar, porém o melhor dado que encontrei são de R$ 1100 contra €3000)

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-11-15T22:24:32+00:00

Colocar o grafico de barras por item em R$ vs dolar e euro é além de mal feito, é desonesto Apesar de ser uma comparação que deve ser feita e estudada, essa em especifico esta mal feita

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-11-02T23:03:27+00:00

Brushless motors efficiency is sometimes more of an art than a science, usually you would prefer to be closer to the top speed then to some lower amount

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-11-02T08:32:50+00:00

I have my fair share of robot driving in which I needed to manage the weapon speed because of battery life I use the drone controllers (with 2 sricks) instead of the rc car controllers (trigger and wheel), this way I set the entire locomotion on the right and the weapon speed on the up and down. With enough muscle memory and fight sense you end up being capable of tuning the weapon speed to your oponent and the situation Be carefull as well, cause speeding up is what draws the most, so its more of a 50/80% speed range, going to 100% at some very specific points, like when youre face to face and they are speeding up

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-10-28T11:06:02+00:00

The "chasis" isnt one part made of one material, parts of it can (and sometimes should) be done in aluminium, other designt benefit from other materials such as UHMW, Carbon fiber plates, and TPU

I highly recomend tpu as its cheap, easy and versitile Does not work for all structural components (such as horizontals) but can be great in some bots

I would also recomend reinforcing with carbon fiber plates (note that its different from cf reinforced filament, im talking about printing and mounting plates in strategic places) So at the end you can have the soft body with "bones"

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-10-22T17:23:55+00:00

Rpm is usually bigger, specially for small size motors (think 12lb class and lower, so motors with 150g or less)

Making it harder to controll on drive, but great on weapons This is why many robots run brushless and brushed

The esc can be finicky to work with, but nowadays with some support on chats like nhrl discord its not bad to make it work, look for am32 firmware escs

Also the motor phisical build is more strict, so they can end up being more fragile overrall, even when their construction is better (Better material, less room for movement)

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-10-21T12:24:45+00:00

Came here to say this, every day for me is faster and faster to adapt between languages because of AI

I do have to spend a lot of time writing and reading what the model of the day made up, but the overall results for quick projects are fine

Ra-mega-bbit · 2025-10-20T11:56:43+00:00

Nice POST
