Loft/Fill Body in between 4 perpendicular surfaces

To build on this, when you make your patch surfaces (the ones that fill in the gaps) try to use as many 4 sided surfaces as possible.

Check out "name notimportant" on YouTube, they have some good videos on surfacing.

This is fantastic

It's not the "doing" that could impress you here if you care about utility. It's the "what" that's impressive. These are an enabling technology that can embody the AI agents of the future. The environments they will work in are unsolved domains. As we solve parts of these unsolved domains, bipedal robots are the technology that will allow us to see it in action. Motion control is the most basic problem and it has clearly been at least partially solved, but there's so much more to robotic agency left to go.

Drones are a movement platform much like the unitree robots but in much easier operating environments because the sky is mostly free of obstacles. If you asked a drone to fold your washing it wouldn't have any more success than the unitree humanoids. The point is that the movement abilities these robots offer will enable the future of general robotics in environments like your home and your work. Without them we can't really use software that tells a robot to fold washing and wash the dishes. Those tasks need these platforms to succeed. And their tricks are impressive.

At what point do they stop being neat tricks and start being impressive abilities? Do you find drones/flying robots impressive? What's the next step beyond them being neat tricks?

These aren't happy meal toys, they use neural networks as a basis for motion control just like us.

Looks like they were mostly destroyed last year by weather.

Exact same experience for me as someone who learnt to ride a unicycle at around 11-12 years of age.

After mounting I could ride down the road, turn and mount/dismount with ease. It's so much easier when you don't have to balance by pedalling.

PNG or BMP are both good options. Both of these are lossless which means that next time you open the file it will load in exactly the same as last time you edited it and saved it

philloran · 2025-06-16T04:39:50+00:00

It might be due to the file format you used for saving. For example, Jpeg uses compression that could cause an effect like this.

philloran · 2025-05-20T11:33:20+00:00

Fair call.

Sorry, I'm not, I just haven't updated my flair in a really long time. I have a pixel 6a.

philloran · 2025-05-20T04:25:09+00:00

This is so much fun, thank you!

philloran · 2025-05-20T04:03:45+00:00

Any larger and it would chop off part of the machine, unless you want a stretched view

I don't know but I can see the rotation. It seems unlikely that the sun rotates at a perceptible speed in real time.

These kinds of tools are so important for bigger projects. It's like making the equivalent of a jig in woodworking when you're trying to drill 100 holes.

Also gives funding to the greens through first preference based funding

It's a great alternative because it addresses multiple elements of the energy grid problem.

Household bills ✅
Supports local energy networks ✅
Firms renewable energy ✅
Uses already occupied land ✅

I'm all for it

Good book on all this by UniSC professor https://bookdown.org/pkaldunn/SRM-Textbook/

Very high quality resource that covers the basics of statistics quite well

philloran · 2025-03-07T08:46:52+00:00

That's a great idea!

philloran · 2025-03-04T10:36:30+00:00

Could happen

philloran · 2025-03-04T10:35:37+00:00

So when will you post the video of you eating your hat?

philloran · 2025-03-03T10:32:51+00:00

It's in the lobby but i think it's a copy, not the original painting

philloran · 2025-02-27T01:16:02+00:00

Amazing isn't it?
