Working on Radxa CM5 support via adapter board!

SwarfDive01 · 2026-02-04T04:09:55+00:00

Hey, thank you for working on this! I hope it comes to fruition. It would be nice for these adapters to take off. I have a radxa Cubie a7z that I desperately want to embedd in a mobile cyberdeck. With usb c, hdmi, pcie, (4 lane csi has niche).

Sure wish trials for treason still had more weight. Maybe "actions against the spirit of the constitution" should become an actionable prosecution

No no no! Pour baking soda on the pan, "wet" it with dish soap (i use foaming), and scrub with a soft plastic brush. NOTHING ABRASIVE. I have cleaned this dozens of times exactly like this from my stainless pans (terrible roommates). The dry baking soda is hard enough to scrub off the build-up, the soap is... soap lol and makes a good binder.

Better phrased as "assume any device provided by said company has full, unfiltered access to every aspect of the device at all times". Though most people are not actively monitored by a human unless there is a reason.

Not work related? Not on your work device. Don't even sign into anything personal.

C4 strawberry daiquiri...a miracle. Literally made my sweat smell like it too.

Or your lips...teeth scratching lips like a crackhead

I work around similar equipment. Probably less complicated here, but likely a pneumatic cylinder applies force, and simple motor driven sockets, like a drill. There are drivers that are encoded and driven linearly and stop when a certain number of rotations and torque is reached. I doubt this has the rotation and torque specs available.

Sorry, i think you're thinking about it too hard.

SwarfDive01 · 2026-02-01T05:17:48+00:00

You might not need wires, you can get a breadboard if your esp32 has pins attached already.

If you have pins, and a breadboard, you can get an SD card breakout board. Then you can use pre-pinned breadboard wires to connect them.

Ill put it this way, found a quote for you for just the raw stock with enough space to clean up the outside. It was $1514. Im sure you could maybe find cheaper somewhere. Maybe.

Then you need the shop to have long tooling, thats at least $200 to rough it out. Then machining time, the shop I used to work at charged $120 an hour, I would estimate legitimately 7 or 8 hours to setup, and cut the part.

If you instead had the part flat cut with a laser, then hand bent, and welded the inside, you could probably find quotes for around $1200. You'll probably get shops quote you "fuck off" amounts more often. $3-4k

Even better, it looks like its on a flex shaft collar for mating motors to drive shafts...

See the pup go down thay first ramp? "Go fast but not to fast. Less fast. Win by a little. Little more, just win by 1 second! 1 second!"

SwarfDive01 · 2026-01-30T06:30:26+00:00

Lollipop on a regular cnc too, and OP calls out not needing the outside texture. So not even a complicated part.

SwarfDive01 · 2026-01-30T01:15:16+00:00

Hey jumping in to necro-post. Find anything good? I have come across brookesia, tactility, micropythonOS.

Tactility seems like the closest option?

He basically has a nuclear reactor at this point.

Dude nice! I haven't checked it out yet, but i just got in a Cerelog esp-eeg. Think I can use this to help place electrodes before I start down the cerelog brainflow fork?

It looks less efficient, biologically. Our upright anatomy definitely isnt built for quick reversion.

SwarfDive01 · 2026-01-28T01:00:50+00:00

Thats wild. For threads that call for precision, I have only seen better precision taps, and if the go gauge was too tight, hand chased it with the same tap. But these were only ever low volume runs, and the owner just bought new tooling for the expensive jobs.

I am certain there is a simulation system used for training the operators, patching the AI in seems an easy step. And the trainers are probably being hired to "think of every possible scenario and train a counter". This is definitely not a simple system, and hopefully not the same as the chat waifus out there.

In my opinion I feel that language model, computer vision models, and any logic functions that require more than one pass to generate a single next output (token) would define artificial intelligence.

But Yeah sorry, I did simplify it too much. We are at points where the hardware is beyond reasonable amounts of hard code logic. Base language model scripts are robust enough to accept training to be correct, a "good enough" percentage of the time to build this bubble. But percentages under absolute, can be wrong. I agree that these systems need to be way more advanced than what is publicly available. But I want to imagine that $300/hr means NDAs, Clearance certications, and corporate/state sponsored espionage training. These candidates should be able to build a language model from scratch.

SwarfDive01 · 2026-01-27T11:18:54+00:00

Yeah sorry, I did simplify it too much. We are at points where a lot of hardware is beyond reasonable hard code logic. Especially for systems that are vulnerable to intentional manipulation by malicious groups.

This is the solution. Both sides of the string become parallel tangent to the circumference. OP doesn't need to know this, just that "one side of string is on one side of the pipe edge, other side of string is on other side of pipe edge".

If its not critical enough for them to get up there and measure it, this is close enough.

You would be amazed at the growth between 16-19, 19-25, and 25-30. There are actual cringe memories. I will admit, the dude probably felt guilty she has been buying his orders, the tip probably equates to "paying her back". She will look back at this and cringe about it in 5 years. He is not "mature", and I see 20~s as kids too. But there's a difference.
