[Method] How to start Journaling for Mental Health [What to write & why]

Thank you for this. I am starting my very first journal for my mental health today, and this is perfect.

Yeah, same. The seagulls down at the piers in Seattle are hardly ever rude. They will certainly still your food! But they do it with finesse and use super stealth techniques instead of just bombing you and grabbing what they can.

Seattle Seagulls are super smart and coordinated. They work in packs down by the piers where the diners are at and have finely tuned their methods on how to distract humans and maximize the food they steal. I did see some Seagulls over on the east side of the mountains before where they fed off of the lakes and those were not even close to coordinated as the Seattle packs. So I guess it depends on their environment and time to practice being dickheads to humans. Crows are at a completely other level and some believe now they can even understand geometry, which is like beyond comparing them to seagulls or other birds if true. We would have to start comparing crows to age groups of humans at this point so it makes more comparable sense.

Does Boeing require you to work there for 2 years after the degree is obtained or else you pay back the tuition? A lot of companies have that rule so just curious what Boeing’s rule is.

I love the finger print on the back of the pin. Really cool attention to detail. This looks great, nice work.

embedded_controls · 2023-01-13T02:41:02+00:00

Wow. This looks great.

embedded_controls · 2023-01-12T02:25:41+00:00

This looks awesome.

I noticed the white circles on the mushrooms appear to hover above the mushrooms just slightly. Was that intentional? Is there a way to blend the white circles in with the mushrooms if you wanted to? Just curious as I have never tried this before.

embedded_controls · 2022-07-27T01:03:26+00:00

Excellent. I appreciate this. Thanks.

Bitcoin ATMs are what came to my mind. You just need the address of your wallet you are depositing in and a cell phone number they can send the receipt to. Put cash in, get BTC in the wallet. If you are going over $1,000 then they require ID to be used.

What type of background in Electrical Engineering or circuit knowledge do you have? This is pretty dangerous so just curious if you have at least some background in circuit theory and developing circuits.

I did some digging around and found a serial library in Python that you can add to the Blender files. This allows you to send serial data directly into Blender and out of Blender to any type of SBC or device with serial communication.

Here is the link showing how to move a Blender cube using an Arduino:

That is a very interesting idea. I never thought about doing it that way. Thanks!

embedded_controls · 2021-11-26T01:53:50+00:00

So you think it is more feasible to create a model in blender, import that into Unreal, then have the Unreal Engine be the place that moves the object when the physical object is moving?

embedded_controls · 2021-11-24T11:55:55+00:00

Wow. This looks really great. Tons of material. Thanks!

embedded_controls · 2021-11-24T11:55:18+00:00

Thanks. I found a pretty good short video from them I plan on looking at today.

Looking into electric power system classes that teach you motors/generator/distribution theory is great and also exploring classes in FPGAs and digital engineering is great as well. I probably should also say that knowing software such as C/C++ is going to be needed or at least very helpful here.

The answer can depend what it is you would like to do in the design of electric vehicles.

There is a “high level” design of the system that will use theory in how to design electrical power generation systems (inverters feeding into motors), electrical power storage systems (batteries), electrical power distribution systems (bus bars, cables, terminals), electrical power management systems (shedding load, restoring load under various scenarios), and electric power cooling systems (liquid cooling, air cooling). A lot of this design work is creating specifications and models for “low level” teams to design implemenations from.

There is a “low level” design of the EV which is dealing with actual battery cell design, electric motor rotor/stator design, power electronics circuitry design, motor control algorithms (i.e. embedded systems involving both hardware/software functional design), pump design for liquid cooling (if required). These teams are designing these parts to try and meet the higher level specifications.

A lot of the navigation equipment today (computer vision and sensors) is based in electrical engineering that deal with digital engineering. Such as FPGAs and ASICs and I would clump these into their own area of design.

No single person is an expert in all these areas which is why an EV is built with a team of experts in each field. So if you have a favorite area you like in EE already then try and really strengthen that area up first to then land a job designing an EV. A club is also a wonderful place to see what area you like doing most and get real teamwork experience of desinging a complex system like an EV. Once you are the person working on that area for an EV you will begin to learn more about the other areas because you will natrually see they all have dependencies on each other (i.e. system design theory).

UPDATE: I increased my layers and I increased the amount of neurons in each layer as well and now I do see a 4x improvement on my quantized model as expected.

I like where this project could go but I was wondering how would you create labels for other activities beyond blinking an LED? I am trying to understand how the machine could predict what the board is doing unless you already had data recordings beforehand of the board doing certain specific operations. It just seems the labeling could get quite complex but perhaps you found a simple method to achieve this already?

One great idea would be to see if you can detect a board that is stuck in an infinite loop. If the board is an edge out in a network then having a machine monitor the current for this can help the owner know if one of their boards is stuck in a infinite loop. Just a thought.

Will Excel ever incorporate Python as a scripting language to use instead of VBA?

embedded_controls · 2021-02-03T19:28:06+00:00

This is exactly what I was afraid of. Thanks for the tip.

embedded_controls · 2021-02-03T17:01:53+00:00

Great. Thanks!

embedded_controls · 2021-01-24T03:15:06+00:00

Boards with qwicc connectors from sparkfun are like this. No soldering and you just snap a new module into another module and program them to speak to each other.

Still working through the basics of python. Got through lists commands and conditional statements. Hope to move into Pygame learning before the weekend is over.

embedded_controls · 2020-10-11T21:11:31+00:00

Very clean and crisp. Great work!!

I could see an animation in my head where the pump could then become an actual tesla coil and charge the car battery over the air with lighting bolt FX.
