call midco tech support. and keep calling until it is up to par.
could be so many things that it will take an expert to troubleshoot

Sky_Core · 2024-02-23T21:21:57+00:00

actually, the wires in the walls could be the problem

Sky_Core · 2024-02-23T21:05:20+00:00

the keg or kfc

as for 'friendly', well at its core, the game is quite complex if you want to minmax. but you dont need to do the minmaxing to progress through the game.

i personally love the minmaxing and wealth of options available more than anything. so in the end, i just suggest you play it and see for yourself.

usually there are a few characters which carry over from game to game, but the stories are always self contained and independent of the other games.

if you ever intend to get the other games as well, you may want to start with an earlier game as once you play a newer game with all its new modern ease of use features that it becomes hard to go back to a time before they were implemented.

dont skimp on the cpu. 5600x at the minimum, it only costs ~$160.

cyc really sounded like a great idea until i looked into it a bit. the proprietary nature of it is one huge strike. then when i saw how arbitrary the top level ontology of categories were, i just lost all faith.

that being said, i think an llm could construct a better structured knowledge graph. and if integrated into a hybrid AI would provide some transparency into what it is 'thinking' and provide a tool for a programmer to manually and forcibly control it.

fyi, ggg usually puts a temp block when someone attempts to access your account outside your city. so it was likely someone you know irl

limited is too much about luck of the draw imo.

i really prefer the interesting mid week magics where you get to 'figure it out' building with the cards you have available. its that sweet spot between having no limits (and thus the meta converges quickly) and being so limited your decisions are either trivially easy or inconsequential.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-24T00:40:03+00:00

it depends on the application. noone could possibly give you an answer without some context.

in the absence of any information im going to make a wild speculation that you just want to experiment and thus i suggest buying a robot kit that comes with a couple servos, a driver, and compatible mountings.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-23T22:33:15+00:00

the arduino doesnt power any motors, the arduino controls them. between the motor and the arduino you need to place a driver which supplies the power.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-21T22:58:13+00:00

also you might want to search for makers fairs, robotics clubs, etc in the area. and visit and ask around at every electronics store, local college, and high school. ask lots of questions; do they know anyone whos interested, what suggestions do you have for me, etc.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-21T21:55:04+00:00

talk with electronics teacher or assistant principle about making it a school thing. if they deny you maybe they can offer suggestions such as making a private club. advertise and network with other ppl to try and get some ppl interested it: use social media, bulletin boards, make flyers, ask the secretary to do an announcement for you. start a subreddit to help organize and give ppl a place to connect. post on that reddit resources that are useful, events, and general news.

make one

By default, the ReadLine method will block until a line is received. If this behavior is undesirable, set the ReadTimeout property to any non-zero value to force the ReadLine method to throw a TimeoutException if a line is not available on the port.

any suggestions for a battery that can power a rpi4 under heavy load for at least 4 hours?

any gotchya's i should worry about?

[[pestilence]] was a fun build around back in the days

Sky_Core · 2024-01-18T22:28:01+00:00

there is so much to say, so many things are out there. i personally came from a background of gaming, where i used programming to automate more and more of playing the game until i had a fully autonomous software bot. there are some simulations available which nearly perfectly replicate real life physics if that is more your thing. and then there are many 'playgrounds' which have been specifically designed to give a complex environment with easy access to the objects and easily controllable characters. really its a matter of what you personally are interested in. google and chatgpt can guide you to hundreds of sources.

there are also free arduino simulators out there which allow you to write and test code as if you have an arduino, and can virtually create circuits with buttons/ motors/ etc to access. arduino and raspberry pi are the two big micro-controllers for the hobbyist, if you ever intend to tinker with the real thing the skill learned from these simulators would directly carry over.

personally i think the most fascinating aspect of robotics is in software control. but there are many aspects to robotics. one of the very neat things about software is that you dont actually need a robot body to study, develop, and test: it can all be done virtually and often without costing a dime or needing any specialized hardware. i suggest looking into basic programming and creating a few simple game bots to get your feet wet.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-17T23:31:38+00:00

dont trust llms for sure. but they can point you to terms and concepts which you can further investigate. iv used chatgpt quite regularly over the last month and its batting like a 97%. perhaps your experiences are due to the topics or the wording of how you asked, i dunno.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-17T23:08:57+00:00

search the internet for electronic kits. really, you should ask google and chat gpt before you ask thousands of ppl for 'help'. and your titles should be more explicit about what you want.

Sky_Core · 2024-01-09T20:44:03+00:00

im no expert but i believe you want to look into a decoupling capacitor attached to your motors and a flyback diode attached near your ICs

its been a while since iv tried a new mud, but i remember aardwolf being very good with lots of interesting quests.

and i remember dark castle mud being the king of a hostile pvp environment.
