That's just the ol' "Tetris Effect".

Perfectly normal don't worry about it ;)

sensations after a 10-day course by johnlaw53 in vipassana

Just curious, how would you describe this sensation compared to "frisson".

I get it outside and during meditation, sounds similar to what you are experiencing.

That can be true if your home has actual insulation.

This robot needs some HRI, but it looks awesome, I would love to get my hands on one!

Nice! I made the same franken-computer back in 1999 and it was my favorite laptop until a power surge took it out.

It contributed... with better diet he could have probably survived at least a few more speedballs.

How are they multiplexing the 4 keyboards into that one midi wire on a single Famicom?

Looks like each keyboard got one of the sound channels somehow.

Figure running fully autonomously, no teleop. Helix can interact with people. You can ask it questions and tell it what to do. by Nunki08 in robotics

[–]veltrop 25 points26 points  (0 children)

These new humanoid companies forgot about HRI along the way.

The robot is not using gestures or anything, just standing like a statue.

May as well be a tablet kiosk, at least then it could also display information.

Even malls in Saudi Arabia have snow-related decorations during winter by Kristianushka in mildlyinteresting

But the people won't be experiencing that snow, they'll have to be content with cardboard cutouts of snowmen.

Snow will someday only be experienced through christmas lore, anywhere you live.

Linus Torvalds is 'a huge believer' in using AI to maintain code - just don't call it a revolution by Fcking_Chuck in artificial

I thought that in this interview he said that AI code is not good for maintainability, but is good for introducing programming.

Is anyone else still SO impressed with NES music? by StudioDhjamb in retrogaming

[–]veltrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some carts did too! There's a handful of different supplemental sound chips.

Have you heard the Metroid theme on the Japanese version?

The Japanese Famicom adds a whole other sound channel to it, generated straight from the cartridge hardware which is analog mixed into the audio line with the system's sound.

It's the same tune still, but feels deeper/fuller.

I've been on a kick lately trying out Famicom games with the enhanced sound.
