04:37 PM anhelinayoli: hello
04:44 PM polprog: hello
04:44 PM anhelinayoli: how is the robotic life
04:44 PM polprog: long and boring
04:45 PM anhelinayoli: its super futuristic looking as a place and they have a mall with like crazy variety of parts and gadgets just got my inner building engaged.
04:46 PM anhelinayoli: its a tHing i do
04:46 PM anhelinayoli: when i misspell a Letter it reminds me
04:46 PM anhelinayoli: self correcting subroutine
04:51 PM polprog: most of the kit they sell you can get on aliexpress
04:51 PM polprog: but it would be awesome to have a mall with all of that
04:57 PM anhelinayoli: u should check out the wired doc its like 50 min on utube
04:57 PM anhelinayoli: its just the mentality or culture, hard to articulate.
04:57 PM polprog: i saw it
04:57 PM anhelinayoli: o ok
04:57 PM anhelinayoli: never heard of aliexpress ill cheCk it out
04:57 PM polprog: how come :D
04:57 PM polprog: maybe its like with me an amazon
04:57 PM anhelinayoli: how come what
04:58 PM polprog: friends from the usa order stuff from amazon on a daily basis
04:58 PM polprog: like how come you didnt hear about it
04:58 PM anhelinayoli: i dont mess with amaZon or alibaba due to my leftist politics
04:58 PM polprog: like, some time ago one ordered an oscilloscope on amazon
04:58 PM anhelinayoli: the robotiCs enterprise in question would be worker owned or something of the like.
04:58 PM polprog: id never think to even look for one there
04:59 PM anhelinayoli: im interested in the process of actually designing and building something together with others.
04:59 PM anhelinayoli: also the pRocess of building a tEam as far as a company that gels.
05:00 PM polprog: that's difficult, team and company is two different things
05:03 PM anhelinayoli: not completely
05:03 PM anhelinayoli: to me a good collective or business or team all involve elegance in relationships and genetic knowledge or like, "institutional knowledge" as the phrase which typically is applied to such.
05:04 PM polprog: from what ive seen a company where everyone is equally the boss is hard to manage with more than several people, from organizational point of view
05:06 PM polprog: although it would be nice to have someone else here to make cool things with, not even making money
05:06 PM polprog: not necesarily even*
05:06 PM anhelinayoli: its not equally the boss but its less severe in difference in power, at least.
05:07 PM polprog: yeah, that would work better
05:07 PM polprog: as the vinkings say, if everyone was the captain there would be no one to paddle the boat
05:08 PM anhelinayoli: understood
05:08 PM anhelinayoli: to me its a question of avoiding abuse in large part.
05:08 PM anhelinayoli: rich tends to abuse poor in history as i Read it often.
05:08 PM anhelinayoli: funny that uve seen that Shenzhen doc already
05:09 PM anhelinayoli: still not clear what is the motivation to build your BoaT robot
05:10 PM polprog: im just curious about the pond next to my house
05:10 PM polprog: there is a corner where the water never freezez
05:10 PM polprog: the ducks hang out there
05:10 PM polprog: ive measured the water temp is always a couple degrees higher than the rest of the pond
05:11 PM polprog: but id like to make a map of the water temperature
05:11 PM polprog: and the pond depth
05:12 PM anhelinayoli: do u know how to program a computer progrAm to run the robot or whaTever or just want to do the construction praCtical side
05:12 PM polprog: the computer program is the easy part for me
05:12 PM polprog: its more the mechanical part thats difficult
05:13 PM polprog: and the most difficult part is the lack of time
05:18 PM anhelinayoli: u should Get a robotics club or something going in your area.
05:18 PM polprog: there is one at my uni but everything is closed because you know why
05:18 PM anhelinayoli: "The more the merrier" most complex Problems are solved with multiple heads.
05:18 PM polprog: yep
05:18 PM anhelinayoli: yeah welL maybe u can still find a way to collab
05:18 PM anhelinayoli: a roadblock doesnt mean throw ur hat in and give up.
05:19 PM anhelinayoli: it just means move around it.
