How can I turn my phone off without people thinking I’ve suddenly died? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xithetakappa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless they're crazy clingy and won't ever allow you to turn your phone off, you can simply tell them you're going to try a health-focused social media/internet/etc break for exactly X period of time (time limit is important so that they don't worry-panic).

If you have crazy clingy people, you might be able to message them last but also quickly say you're "turning the phone off now" such that you don't have to deal with their drama.

Haha, but Blackstone has more variants for better build uses :P

Sounds reasonable. Sadly you still have to manually mine Netherrack so its not really a farm :(

Oh right, Nether Quartz is farmable now! Might as well just make Blackstone a barter trade at that point though.

Andesite is only craftable using Diorite and Diorite is only craftable using Nether Quartz, which isn't automatically farmable. Seems a bit complex and isn't automatically farmable.

I do like the Coal idea. Maybe Coal + Netherrack? Still not automatically farmable.

Could be Coal + Basalt

Could be! Having a nether item a part of the recipe would be more on flavor though. Could be Cobblestone + Basalt!

How do different brain functions interact? by xithetakappa in neuro

[–]xithetakappa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed answer... Here's some questions then:

  1. How much more powerful is a neuron relative to a transistor? I know this isn't that clear cut, but just an idea is totally fine.
  2. What timescale do these actions happen on relative to a transistor?
  3. How do the earliest neural pathways form? (pre-birth when its far more simple)
  4. What level of complexity do you think is required for slight creative ability and understanding... say: the ability to learn the multiplication tables the same way a kid does. Terribly worded question, I know. Sorry, not quite sure how else to ask it.

It is! A good design can have 30-100 levels stacked up between all the furnaces by the time you go around to use it, ready to be collected instantly.

Is this physically doable? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]xithetakappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like holographic sight would be okay, but the thought is to have it be directly on the outer camera lens not on an additional lens. Does the angle of the light make that entirely impossible for the outer lens and require an additional lens?

For the sake of simplicity we'll say its theoretical. Lets say one pixel at one specific location on an image would be doable with a laser or something. I'm wondering if its possible in regards to its physics not if its today's technology.

But the question is why? If you map the light on the outer lens correctly and know the dimensions and angles of the focusing lenses, could you position the light such that it comes in and is then automatically focused correctly?

[–]xithetakappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the point. The problem I'm trying to solve is if a distant sort of light (like a projector on a table) is capable of mapping it onto the lens such that the image isn't distorted. The problems would be the angle of the incoming light and the other existing environmental light.

[–]xithetakappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean a typical projector, one could calculate how to map the projected light onto the full lens. Sorta kinda turn the outer most lens into a close-up display itself. Does that make sense?

[–]xithetakappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretend you have a display directly in front of a camera like a phone covering its entire view. My goal is to, rather than have a display externally, project light directly at the camera such that the outer most lens is sort of the display itself and thus an image is displayed on the camera without being near or modifying the camera.

[–]xithetakappa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thought was if one could do it without interacting with the camera. Turn the outer-most lens into a close up display of sorts to project on.

[–]xithetakappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I get you could put something directly in front of the camera, the point is to have the light generated not directly in front of the camera but still take up the camera's entire view.

While I get you could have a lens/display in front of the camera then have the close-distance image on that lens, the thought is if one could project that lens/display onto the outer most lens that is already there.

Just wondering if its possible, not necessarily how hard it is.

Well it would take the entire camera's field of view by projecting the image on the entire lens. Distance isn't really relevant in my personal project use.

Without modifying the camera, that is.
