12:03 AM z64555: we seem to scare them off with our antics
12:05 AM z64555: (yes, the computers)
12:16 AM rue_house: bah, socializing is easy, get a keg of beer and post a sign, BANG! instantly popular
12:17 AM rue_house: Snert, there are no geekchicks? wait....
12:17 AM * rue_house looks at anniepoo
12:17 AM rue_house: well, hell if I know
12:17 AM rue_house: but the best thing is to just give up
12:18 AM rue_house: and look at it this way, there are only this many of us, and were from all over the world
12:19 AM rue_house: anniepoo, do we get pics of the new shell?
12:20 AM orlock: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15261
12:20 AM orlock: They mention using some of the robots we make here!
12:21 AM rue_house: your gonna need a lot more if you want to build a geekchick
12:28 AM Snert: it's the law of averages. To find a suitable geekchick you need a whole bunch of them.
12:28 AM Snert: and then 1 of them will be the right one.
12:43 AM rue_house: and we have seen 3 in 15 years
12:52 AM rue_house: and those 3 have not been impressed
12:55 AM rue_bed: the smart ones refuse to breed, the race is doomed to trumpism
10:09 AM veverak: rue_bed: nice link for servo description
10:09 AM veverak: or, article?
02:19 PM Snert_: self driving cars automated to obey all speed limits will lead to seamless increase in road rage incidents all across the country.
02:20 PM Snert_: and renting a car at the airport will still take 2 hours.
02:27 PM Snert_: Dunno about you folks but I want the ability to exceed the speed limit.
02:27 PM Snert_: however little I may use it, I still want the ability to do so if I choose.
02:29 PM SpeedEvil: I want a car that can get me places, without me being able to drive.
02:39 PM Tom_L: Snert are you a raging driver?
02:39 PM Snert_: Only when I'm driving on the sidewalk.
02:40 PM Tom_L: do you carry an assault rifle to nudge them out of the way?
02:40 PM Snert_: I should :) lol
02:40 PM Tom_L: :)
02:41 PM Tom_L: i think if you're caught in the fast lane going below or at speed you should be fair game
02:42 PM Snert_: I don't think I've ever raged while driving. Except at AM Radio when they play that tune for the 127th time in the last hour.
02:43 PM Tom_L: or did you figure out it was a CD stuck on repeat mode?
02:43 PM Snert_: Yea too slow in the fastlane is definately grounds for a beheading.
02:44 PM Snert_: CD? Why...my last 2 cars have had CD players and I never once stuck a CD into them.
02:44 PM Tom_L: i don't think i have either
02:45 PM Tom_L: i'm too busy listening to the voices in my head
02:45 PM Snert_: I just headphones my phone. or BT over to the dash speakers in my new rig.
02:46 PM Snert_: JeepPlay isn't very good.
02:46 PM Snert_: It's kinda like CarPlay without the smoothness of integration.
02:46 PM Snert_: clunky.
02:46 PM Snert_: 1/2way fucked up.
02:47 PM Snert_: Everytime I quit my BlueDriver App which chats with the car and pulls out stats.....the dash speakers say........
02:47 PM Snert_: "Phone Call Complete".
02:48 PM Snert_: I made no phone call.
02:48 PM Snert_: SO that's how well JeepPlay integrates into the ecosystem.
02:49 PM Snert_: Detroit just can't get it right.
02:51 PM Tom_L: ours seems to work ok
02:51 PM Tom_L: gm
02:51 PM Snert_: is it actual apple carplay?
02:52 PM Tom_L: android in my case
02:52 PM Tom_L: the only apples i like come from trees
02:54 PM Tom_L: you can bluetooth or cable sync with it
02:54 PM Tom_L: i think the cable allows more things
02:54 PM Snert_: yea, 1st gen is like that.
02:55 PM Snert_: even carplay is tethered.
02:55 PM Tom_L: this is on a 2018
02:56 PM Tom_L: haven't upgraded since 09
02:56 PM Tom_L: and wouldn't have but my kid needed a car
02:56 PM Tom_L: (no he didn't get the 2018) :)
02:57 PM Tom_L: they've added too much crap to them since my last one
02:58 PM Snert_: I counted the number of buttons on my basic model steering wheel.
02:58 PM Snert_: over 40.
02:58 PM Snert_: if it clicks, turns or buttons I counted it.
02:59 PM Tom_L: most of this is on a center LCD
03:38 PM jandor: hi
11:01 PM rue_house: hmm
11:01 PM rue_house: '97 truck...
11:01 PM rue_house: horn,
11:01 PM rue_house: left right turn
11:01 PM rue_house: high/low beam lts
11:02 PM rue_house: wipers off, fire, high, and now
11:02 PM rue_house: (low causes the steering column to catch fire)
11:02 PM tommycannady: robot god
11:02 PM rue_house: I think thats all its got
11:03 PM tommycannady: bacon city in here
11:03 PM tommycannady: they asked where did i live etc
11:03 PM tommycannady: and what car did i have
11:03 PM tommycannady: and they qcahced
11:03 PM rue_house: ?
11:03 PM orlock: bot
11:03 PM orlock: or spammer
11:03 PM tommycannady: neither.. I thought i was in
11:04 PM tommycannady: #programming
11:04 PM rue_house: it was too lucis to be a program
11:04 PM rue_house: lucid
11:04 PM rue_house: tommycannady, would you like us to abuse you as if you were in #programming?
11:04 PM rue_house: er, no, wait, thats ##C I'm thinking of
11:04 PM tommycannady: I don't genreally get abused
11:04 PM rue_house: try #C
11:04 PM tommycannady: in either
11:04 PM tommycannady: I go into both
11:05 PM rue_house: they abuse everyone
11:05 PM tommycannady: not that I know of
11:05 PM tommycannady: oh wait i recall now them saying something bad to you
11:05 PM tommycannady: some weird one
11:05 PM rue_house: if you ask a question in #c they basically say your an idiot and to go read a book
11:05 PM tommycannady: not that I know of.
11:05 PM orlock: just because the idiots never got to the rest of the alphabet
11:05 PM rue_house: its all I'v ever heard them say to anyhone
11:05 PM rue_house: anyone
11:05 PM tommycannady: they expect though that people know they are internal of a simulation.
11:06 PM rue_house: I needd to write my servo tutorial
11:06 PM rue_house: and make a proper supper
11:06 PM tommycannady: oh how about actuators and you know...those sorts of things
11:06 PM tommycannady: you know hmm effectors
11:06 PM tommycannady: rue_house we cleaned up ##C
11:06 PM rue_house: I know everything, try me
11:07 PM rue_house: oh, in the last 2 eyars?
11:07 PM tommycannady: people stopped doing the weird stuff
11:07 PM rue_house: I just been going to programming instead
11:07 PM tommycannady: since ages ago
11:07 PM tommycannady: oh
11:07 PM tommycannady: they all are good on this channel.. however I only pop up a bit
11:07 PM tommycannady: I generally go to specific coding houses
11:07 PM tommycannady: such as ##zsnes where I would speak to demo all day long :)
11:08 PM rue_house: wow
11:08 PM rue_house: I just had a thought
11:08 PM tommycannady: hmmmm
11:08 PM tommycannady: I don't agree with emulation now if people use wrong roms :)
11:08 PM tommycannady: coding your own rom is GREAT!
11:08 PM tommycannady: don't you agree ?
11:08 PM rue_house: imagine if there was like a place where there was a gathering of people who knoew how to like make and program stuff and you could make stuff with them
11:09 PM rue_house: that would be so coool
11:09 PM rue_house: *sigh*
11:09 PM tommycannady: the best thing is to work on your own stuff...
11:09 PM tommycannady: and then submit it
11:09 PM tommycannady: to some location
11:09 PM tommycannady: i was reading some papers on simulation hypothesis
11:09 PM orlock: i wired up my el-cheapo sound system last night
11:09 PM tommycannady: and china etc etc
11:09 PM orlock: cheap-ass amp and media player from china
11:09 PM tommycannady: what they do with near human AI simulations
11:10 PM orlock: $10 media player, does FM, bluetooth, SDcard, USB, has a display and a remote
11:10 PM tommycannady: :--------).. i never had such a thing
11:10 PM tommycannady: :) I coded a secret of mana clone and 9000 demos of ultra goodness :)
11:10 PM tommycannady: mostly envolving graphics,AI and RPG stuff
11:11 PM tommycannady: the clone is not at all allowed to be complete
11:13 PM tommycannady: eventhough I worked with square enix folk... or authority
11:13 PM tommycannady: I like robotics so I came here for 1 day
11:13 PM orlock: rue_house: got a few Cisco wireless AP's here
11:13 PM orlock: rue_house: They get so hit, the plastic gets brittle, mounting lugs snap off
11:13 PM tommycannady: I figure I might log on for 1-10 day a year into this channel... that would be ordinary though these days everyone knows what I was talking about :)
11:13 PM orlock: and the cases dont stay on anymore
11:13 PM orlock: it's great, it really is.
11:13 PM tommycannady: :)
11:13 PM tommycannady: oh well you guys have a good day.... I hope that if you needed one you can take a vacation like I'm gonna do
11:13 PM tommycannady: I plan to travel to middle canada
11:13 PM tommycannady: I plan to have a robot city in my rpg
11:13 PM tommycannady: I should conver it to 3d
11:13 PM tommycannady: it's wasting space if i don't
11:14 PM tommycannady: it's kinda not but kinda is
11:14 PM tommycannady: +t
11:14 PM tommycannady: well goodbye
11:14 PM tommycannady: bye rue_house.... i hope that it will clean up.
11:14 PM tommycannady: clam 3 super super.
11:37 PM rue_house: orlock, so, you just got it on random shuffle?
11:51 PM rue_house: hmm what can I use as a good tutorial template
11:51 PM rue_house: (html)
11:57 PM rue_house: hmm
11:57 PM rue_house: maybe the problem isn't the layout of the material
11:57 PM rue_house: maybe its the material itself
