Humanoid robot wars are so silly. Afaict they're mostly propaganda. The allure is slick sure, would be neat to not have to retrofit spaces for robots. Unfortunately it's much more cost effective to make spaces for robots than jam robots into human bodies. In how many applications can a humanoid robot compete with a robot arm and a self driving trolley?

The only spaces we can't really customise to robots are houses, and these things will never be affordable. We'd be better off designing bathrooms that clean themselves (or that are just easier to clean) than robots that clean bathrooms.

I didn't say there are never any issues I said it's fine. The idea that "success stories" are only amd is silly. 90/100 times unless you're using bleeding edge hardware or pathologically fussy you just hit play and stuff works. 9 out of the remaining 10 times you tweak a proton version or wine setting, the other time it's a driver bug.

What? I have a 2060 and shit runs fine. Nvidia's drivers have improved a lot since the 2010s.

Tigers also lick their own bums clean, is that a good thing to do? Tigers don't have dentists, so humans have no right to dentistry.

Or maybe you mean to say that hurting other people for your own pleasure is only ok if you do it close enough to see the whites of their eyes? Does a single tear need to roll down your cheek.

You are so stupid it actually hurts me. If you want to argue about the morality of killing you could at least pretend you have read a book.

Not quite. Pifed or something does a like slushfund for votes. When you make an account it makes a user that votes for you. Admins of course know who is whom.

Still vulnerable to correlation attacks and stuff but we're getting pathological now. Still YOUR COMMENT HISTORY is necessarily public and eternal, so maybe just realising that social media is public is the thing to do.

Go to dread and enjoy that if you want anon socmed. It has good and bad aspects, activitypub is for broadcasting to all listeners how crap you are :p

Unfortunately displaying the fact that they're transparent was closed as an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4967

If you look through the thread it's the same as here. Divided between "public is public" and "public should only be public to a technocratic elite" and "I am an ostrich"

🙃

I can't understand your first paragraph.

You know your entire comment history is also public right? Voting isn't an agree disagree button, and even if it was. All non Nazi socmed is public, all endorsement in life except nonsense bougie spectacle is public.

Society doesn't fall apart because people can see you nodding along and hear you going "Good point" when talking to people.

It's all moot anyway, activitypub is public, everything you do is public and must be thought of as archived indefinitely. The only remotely "private" thing is PM and that's visible to any admin and any snooping infrastructure on the way.

So uhhh yeah, stick your head in the sand if you want but your votes are public to half the threadiverse lmao.

They are public, and that doesn't stop anyone being insane. More transparently public might be good though.

Personally I think transparency is almost always good. Nobody is stopping you making an account for being a creep and a loser on, but that might earn you derision. I can see no compelling reason for hiding votes, there's this abstract "oh I can support true but unpopular positions" ok well for good causes secret support is pretty much worthless and if I might become a goose with a knife for a moment: What are these secret opinions of yours? Because as someone who occasionally looks at voting patterns it is always the conservative takes lmao.

Everything you do on lemmy is public forever. That's how activitypub works. Even if you delete everything no server has to respect that.

Anything you upload is public record forever until proven otherwise.

Votes are public though, pretending that they're not is just deceiving users.

Anyone who admins a federated instance, and any of their friends, knows vote counts.

But I also have an expectation (mainly from other forms of social media) that users’ votes should be kept private from other users

This is literally just reddit and hackernews, some of the worst and most astro-turfed socmed. Twitter post nazification too I guess.

I tried to use it to write software to rotate my screen in a way that would please me and if I wasn't an experienced sysadmin the code it produced would have destroyed the computer's battery in a year or so.

That was this year.

Everything it makes is bad, the prose is awful, the orthography bland, the code mediocre. Any factual query I have made has had at least one critical error a non expert would miss. They are machines for giving idiots false confidence, atrophying your own skills, and producing the sort of aggressively mediocre writing one finds on reddit.

I think it is fucking hilarious to be proud about making yourself dependent on an industry that literally 450 billion dollars in the hole and 2 companies. I am sure that'll work out well for you.

historical materialism

 

Seems more related to air movement maybe than depletion of ozone. Still, the possibility is a bummer

 

Obviously giant creature war breeding is the goal. Any great candidates that are from good biomes for taming?

Do cavern invaders still cause save corruption/become completely unmanageable?

Also since it's been a long time I'm thinking of setting a lower population limit and taking my time. Do any of you have recommended settings for enemy invasions etc based in a ~50 dwarf cap?

 

I've got a refurbed thinkpad yoga in the mail. It's a stylus oriented laptop so I need to change the software I use to be more clicky.

For years I've favoured stuff like netctl, xrandr, xbacklight etc etc over GUI alternatives and usually gone for very minimal WM setups (e.g. dwm).

For obvious reasons this would be actual hell with a stylus in tablet mode, but it's been around 15 years since I last had a clicky linux setup and I'm really lost as to how to set one up on arch. What do you folks recommend for laptops?

EDIT: update for wayward souls. Went with plasma, less works nicely out of the box but gnome hung occasionally on a 2019 yoga x1. There's a lot about plasma I would say is annoying but configuring it is vastly easier than gnome.

 

Silly title aside what do you do to warm up and if you do any stretching for mobility after a run what are they?

I confess to being extremely lazy. My idea of a warm up is just running a bit easier than normal and the only stretch I do is foam roll my calves and stretch out the old hams on a wall.

Every time I look up articles you get insane fitness blogs regurgitating the same 3 page "easy" routine that you absolutely must do all of or you will definitely die.

So what do actual other human beings do? Come, share your wisdom or commiserate in haphazardness.

 

This should be an interesting case to watch. It seems on it's face something utterly inhumane and so it will be important to know whether it is considered legitimate.

 

I started running about a year ago. No specific goals just for fun, was making good progress till I got up to being able to run about 7 km 5 days a week no problem.

Unfortunately a series of health problems lead to getting really out of condition and I'm dealing with some knee tendonitis due to irresponsibility when doing strength training.

Now I'm gasping after 3 km and having to carefully pace myself to avoid aggravating the knee while I build it back up.

On one hand I know that a lot of the long term adaption isn't totally gone, that I'm not starting from zero. When I started I would throw up after running a block.

On the other hand it's demotivating as fuck putting in so much effort to hobble through stuff that recently was relaxing.

I'm obviously not the first person or the last to deal with this so I'm asking if you could share times when you've dealt with recovering and what kept you going.

 

See attached photo for the results of the bed levelling test using superslicer's calibration test.

This is using the uhhh mriscoc firmware after heating to thermal equilibrium, tramming to tolerance, doing a 9x9 mesh which found a high point at the super messed up bottom left corner (higher than tramming result? but slightly further out).

I have M420 S1 in my custom gcode, and for insanity's sake checked the gcode of the part and it's in the custom block and start block.

Any ideas what's going on? every other section is okay, although back right is a bit distant.

EDIT 2023-07-11T08:27(UTC): So after some shenanigans the current findings are summarised as following:

  • Z travel speed during probing needs to be slow
  • multiple probing (3 samples) creates reproducible meshes and tramming wizard results
  • Trying to enable the mesh via G29 A ; Activate UBL \n G29 L0 ; Load mesh in slot 0 \n G29 J ; Correct for skew didn't seem to work. Replacing that whole block with M420 L0 S1 makes the Z axis move during XY translation (from which I infer the mesh is loaded and being used correctly vs my printer is possessed)
  • The above would seem to me to indicate the marlin documentation is wrong? as it suggests using G29 L# and G29 A respectively.

As of the time of update, that lower right corner is proving troubling, still. I think it's an issue with the location of the probe and interpolation results vs actual geometry of the bed. By that I mean, if we define down on your screen as positive X and right on your screen as positive Y the probe is located at MX, -NY vs the print head, thus the extreme location cannot be sampled. If the bed geometry is not smooth at that extreme then the automated fill in of my 9x9 grid might be wrong. I will attempt manually leveling that section and see if that helps

EDIT the second:

I'm going insane. Will take some photos in the morning but mesh values in the left front of the bed are wildly different from actual height.

Building the mesh with the probe will report a sort of hill in the centre going to low corners, the front left will report something like -0.3mm (although the mesh display only shows -0.2 mm editing the value shows it's lower) but if I go into the edit mode and manually probe that location it'll crash into the bed hard.

Setting it for light dragging on paper akin to the sort felt in the centre of the bed where values are accurate will have the mesh height at ~0.1 mm. A 0.3 mm difference? what the fuuuuuuuck?

EDIT: 2023-07-13T08+00:00: I figured it out. Thanks for your advice and patience. I will add pictures of the meshes at various stages to this post at a later date to assist any other wanderer in madness in identifying and solving the same problem.

In essence neither X or Y were square, the probe being offset in both X and Y created the problem. Because of the gantry construction it would be non trivial to square the XZ gantry to the Y axis so instead I verified that Y was not twisted and instead squared X to the best of my ability and precision tools.

Then I printed this part: https://www.printables.com/model/255096-sprite-extruder-ender-s1-pluspro-cr-touch-mount-fo to which my eternal gratitude goes out to a Mr S Grindset for providing in order to move the probe to be colinear with the print head in X. Ensuring that any error due to Y not being square is even for the probe and print head.

Now it is pretty good! Auto leveling works well enough to get "pretty even" layers, certainly none of the nasty ripples and ploughing I was experiencing.
