Yeah we had a dentist advise us to remove both of my 3 year old’s front teeth after he bumped them at school and they pushed up slightly into his gums. The second dentist we saw was mortified.

I think the kids are gona be alright

@uncledoomer Tryna take me out of cave shaman mode

the signs were always there

-The universe exists (???) -Matter clumps -Fast forward and my eyes can capture 10 trillion photons per second to sense my environment -The absurdity of existing is passing entertainment while I poop -I will forget this is all pretty weird for about 3-4 weeks now

@LensScientific It gives a pretty boring, convenient and confusing answer to the most interesting question imaginable.

What’s your take on the simulation hypothesis? If you lean one way or the other, I’d like to hear your reasoning.

@ChadNotChud Nah

increasingly clear that LLMs are just a Normal Technology cool and useful, but fantasies that their rate of improvement will continue indefinitely are just that like everything, we’ll reach a point where further improvement requires a qualitatively different approach

@TeXasMadde @RedPandaKoala It’s just a joke people say on the internet when someone goes on a crazy rant. Just having fun, hope you have a good weekend

@BitShiftRight @RedPandaKoala You got me.. meaning I dont see the irony of your joke being related to my OP.

Manufacture with aura

Manufacture with conviction

@brianmccallum Yo mama’s couch can almost fit

What kind of parts fit into a 16'x6'x4' work envelope?

@chris_j_paxton but muh humanoid robotz

Fundamentally this is what robotics manipulation systems for logistics are going to look like: massive buildings specifically optimized for getting the objects you want and delivering them. Nothing remotely human about it.

@dirtman B&R? how do you like it

Installed a cpu fan, whaddoyou think ?

@Brad08414464 arxiv.org don't be so stupid

why isn’t there an underground research community for people to publish research outside of the system and outside of conventional channels? the world doesn’t have very good infrastructure to enable this

@measure_plan meh

this guy is on a generational run. witness this:

@boxcardavid Kuka but they're not all orange. Per ISO 10218, cobots must have inferior kinematics to eliminate pinch points and they also have to look like they could be sold in Bad Bath & Beyond. So they are mostly Appliance White

Who makes an all-orange cobot?

@swipeuzi @fkasummer

@fkasummer what counts as frontier technology?

If you have an obsessive streak, this is the greatest time to be working on frontier technology. The problems are genuinely monumentally difficult, which makes progress feel amazing. Besides, it's quiet on the frontier. None of the circus of mainstream AI.

@WarMonitors DAS failure

Now that everyone calmed down can we actually begin to ask how tf Iran was able to even lock on to F-35 in the first place, let alone hit it without flare dumping. Crazy.

@TeXasMadde @RedPandaKoala Sir this is a Wendy’s

Hmm i wonder who is the anon that posted this (back then) lol & yes the whole assessment is correct- Besides " US invaded from the south, advance stops at Colorado " yes squirmishes will happen all the way to the Heartland but (Texas) by this time & the US states will be divided & Washington in chaos while Texas & all its neighboring states form a breakaway protection zone! (GET OUT OF NEW YORK, MIAMI , LA , SAN FRAN, ETC ) I will have 100s of Jammers , Anti Aircraft missiles, etc (By that time all Weapons of war will be common place ) Nobody is Taking Texas! (AS LONG AS IM STILL ALIVE & OTHER BRAVE MEN/WOMEN LIKE ME !

@CATIAManikin Cursed thread size. Should have been 6-36

Trying to explain that using only three mounting holes is actually better than four, because four can overconstrain the alignment of the assembly (I broke a tap in the fourth hole)

I just had to choose between hiring an engineer or a tech. Give me the multicraft maintenance tech that can use an angle grinder, wire up a relay, and poke around in a PLC program. Easy decision frankly.
