02:13 AM rue_: so?
02:17 AM rue_: so why is that battle mecca such a pain to work on
02:17 AM rue_: head should only take a few more days to heal, what you complaining about?
02:17 AM rue_: how did we end up managing to blow 3 555 chips and kill 2 leds?
02:17 AM rue_: well, the first part you reversed the power, and I must have had my head turned for the other one
02:17 AM rue_: I wasn't aware a 555 could emit light like that
02:17 AM rue_: yea a breaker could be a good idea
02:17 AM rue_: actually managed to melt the lead off
02:17 AM rue_: so, how we gonna feed it power
02:18 AM rue_: we did, remember, that pvc is initial rev
02:18 AM rue_: how about a new upper torso
02:18 AM rue_: or knees and elbows?
02:19 AM rue_: yes, you do have the 3d printers now
02:19 AM rue_: that would be a lot of plastic
02:19 AM rue_: hmm
02:19 AM rue_: the $240 budget isn't going to last long if we start using up $50 rolls of plastic on prototype parts
02:19 AM rue_: why dont we prototype in cast alu?
02:20 AM rue_: where is the vacuum former when we need it
02:20 AM rue_: that would go on the deck?
02:20 AM rue_: hmm
02:25 AM rue_: cat!
02:25 AM rue_: cat?
02:25 AM rue_: CAT!
02:25 AM rue_: CAT!
02:25 AM rue_: oh surprised you!
02:25 AM rue_: right out of stage right
02:26 AM rue_: geesh, hard to type around cat
02:26 AM rue_: or thru cat
02:26 AM rue_: oh cuddly kitty
02:27 AM rue_: so, we need to make a machine that makes machines
02:27 AM rue_: like the 3d printer?
02:27 AM rue_: yes, but no
02:27 AM rue_: no?
02:27 AM rue_: like, other stuff
02:27 AM rue_: oh a soldering robot
02:27 AM rue_: maybe
02:27 AM rue_: maybe?
02:27 AM rue_: you just echoing everything I say?
02:27 AM rue_: no
02:27 AM rue_: no?
02:27 AM rue_: now your doing it
02:27 AM rue_: ok
02:28 AM rue_: a holding robot would be a good start
02:28 AM rue_: yes, I'd love a holding robot
02:28 AM rue_: robot of holding
02:28 AM rue_: yes, a robot of holdability
02:28 AM rue_: with good holdability
02:28 AM rue_: the best holdability
02:28 AM rue_: .. which is?
02:28 AM rue_: oh geez, uh
02:28 AM rue_: well
02:28 AM rue_: hmm

02:40 AM rue_: he totally is
02:40 AM mrdata: oh wait, that was mentioned above
02:40 AM rue_: ok, back to topic, a ratchet-spring gripping clamp
02:40 AM mrdata: ok
02:41 AM rue_: how can I do rotational joints that lock
02:41 AM rue_: with a locking rotary joint
02:41 AM rue_: marvelous
02:41 AM rue_: thankyou
02:41 AM rue_: electronic? hydraulic?
02:41 AM rue_: well, is it bad if we have to plug it in?
02:42 AM rue_: I dont know
02:42 AM rue_: me either
02:42 AM rue_: idea idea idea idea
02:42 AM rue_: whaaaaat
02:42 AM rue_: a truck brake
02:42 AM rue_: so, air released brakes?
02:42 AM rue_: yes!
02:42 AM rue_: hmm
02:43 AM rue_: why hmm
02:43 AM rue_: smaller would be nice
02:43 AM rue_: air muscles?
02:44 AM rue_: valves?
02:44 AM rue_: oh, hmm
02:44 AM rue_: hmm
02:44 AM rue_: that puts us back to hydraulics
02:45 AM rue_: oooh thats why you were supposed to ask marty about small cylinders
02:45 AM rue_: oooh, damn
02:45 AM rue_: I have an idea
02:45 AM rue_: yes?
02:45 AM rue_: dont use a cylinder
02:45 AM rue_: marvelous idea, and so what do we use
02:45 AM rue_: a thing
02:46 AM rue_: ok, add more detail
02:46 AM rue_: a rubber thing
02:46 AM rue_: is the thing unmentionable?

02:47 AM rue_: what if its a more crude locking mechanism
02:48 AM rue_: teeth
02:48 AM rue_: yes, something with teeth
02:48 AM rue_: why not a cable spool
02:48 AM rue_: or two?
02:48 AM rue_: yes,
02:48 AM orlock: bike pump?
02:49 AM rue_: but to supply air to what?
02:49 AM orlock: cant you supply air to them and use them as a piston?
02:49 AM rue_: sylinder seem to be hard to make
02:49 AM rue_: yes indeed
02:49 AM rue_: cylinder
02:49 AM rue_: I know
02:49 AM rue_: I was correcting for airlock
02:49 AM rue_: orlock
02:49 AM rue_: yes
02:50 AM rue_: so, we want a brake thats small and has one hell of a lot of torque
02:50 AM rue_: hydraulic bike brakes!
02:50 AM rue_: yes?
02:50 AM rue_: yes!
02:51 AM rue_: but reversed
02:51 AM rue_: indeed
02:51 AM rue_: were you gonna get those?

02:54 AM rue_bed: 18 minutes
02:55 AM orlock: 12:18 on the morning of the 8th of the 6th?
02:55 AM rue_bed: 8th
02:55 AM rue_bed: please send me tommorws lottery numbers
02:55 AM orlock: i was JUST thinking that hah
09:54 AM Inst: am I austistic if I'd like humans to be replaced by robots?
09:55 AM Inst: hi fantonaut
09:59 AM rue_: hmm
10:00 AM Inst: i mean, as a totality
10:00 AM Inst: just wanting humans to be replaced on the production line would make me a capitalist
10:01 AM Inst: and a prosaic and banal one at that
10:21 AM mrdata: yes
10:22 AM mrdata: pretty ignorant of human experience; therefore autism is a strong possibility
10:23 AM Inst: how would wanting humans to go extinct be ignorance of human experience?
10:25 AM mrdata: you cant see that? it's pretty obvious
10:26 AM mrdata: if something has no value to you, then you are eager to discard it.
10:26 AM mrdata: but you may be simply ignorant of that value
10:30 AM Inst: or could I be a nihilist?
10:30 AM Inst: since you brought up the term value
10:31 AM Inst: moreover, if you claim that human beings have intrinsic value, these values exist independent of human beings unless your value is that "human beings are special"
10:33 AM mrdata: thats a very clumsy argument
10:33 AM * mrdata makes coffee
10:34 AM Inst: you're being equivocal and not pinning down your own arguments, so of course my response is clumsy
10:35 AM Inst: if you treat your position as a postulate then there is nothing to argue
10:35 AM Inst: X therefore X
10:38 AM mrdata: tery giving it a whirl in ##philosophy; i'm not interested
10:38 AM mrdata: *try
10:38 AM Inst: sorry
10:38 AM Inst: you guys are the active robotics guys, i couldn't find a singularity channel
10:43 AM Inst: thanks for the referral though
10:43 AM Inst: we're having fun there
10:49 AM mrdata: equivocal is sitting on the fence about an issue; i wasnt being equivocal
10:49 AM mrdata: someone must have already told him he was autistic
10:50 AM mrdata: and he came here looking for sympathy
11:38 AM veverak: possible
11:40 AM mrdata: yeah and my messages weerent of the form X therefore X, so he was just being argumentive
12:37 PM durrf is now known as sports`pitch`her
03:24 PM lp0: Guys help my robot is on fire
03:24 PM lp0: Its burning thru the floor
03:31 PM sports`pitch`her: do you have a water robot
08:01 PM rue_bed: did you water your robot already?
08:01 PM rue_bed: did it have lithium ion batteries?
