I’m sorry, I forgot the write up was where the genetic algo was shown: https://www.decarpentier.nl/carpentopod He does have animations of the process just not 3D.

The creator used a genetic algorithm to design the optimal leg mechanism for smoothness. The video is pretty cool: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xKDY4yWxfJM&e

I hate saying that anything is no longer useful, but the commenter above has a point about how tech will get lost as it becomes outdated and useless. Your example, for instance, shows that those data structures were useful, because they wer

I bought 14 games last year from the early 2000's, racing simulator games. They absolutely suck compared to today's racing simulators, except that they don't because they did stuff differently that they don't do today an

Is woodworking valid with power tools or is the tool doing the art? What about a CNC in the workshop? I think it’s all valid because the art is in the planning and resulting furniture. Same thing for coding. Even an LLM needs human creative

I never thought hard about the last part of your comment here, but it really seems strange that it's been normalized to train high-schoolers in the USA to do military drills and such. There's not a lot of weapons training, I don&#

Yea they added flight deck doors that you can’t get through and a policy that the doors stay closed through a flight. The TSA did nothing to help, the planes are a hard target now.

Yea, if I have to use my table saw, I’m planning cuts so they perform themselves with guides, and my focus is on pushing the wood properly through the guides while primarily keeping my hands at least a foot away from the blade. My grandfath

It feels like those with ASD who aren't severe are forgotten about, or maybe it's because I seem semi-"normal" I just tend to be hit with the "asshole" label for being clueless about whatever stuff normal peopl

Sure, I’m saying someone make a cheaper kit that goes into a Corolla and with various range options. I’d pay a lot to replace all the maintenance parts with electric stuff for my everyday driver. I’d spend more than my car is worth to keep

That’s a lot of text for nothing.

Cool stuff but someone make this for a standard Toyota Corolla and other common cars.

Perhaps you can't use the auto-start/stop feature of the ICE system when the aircon is on? When the vehicle is stopped, something needs to be turning the compressor or things get hot pretty quick in hot climates. USPS trucks proba

Agree fully, as I put on the dorkiest headband in the world to capture sweat from my forehead as I work outside. It's not that we older folds don't care what people think, but more like we now realize that people rarely care or th

I like that there’s a way to skip all that boot loading stuff, your comment made me want to actually try this. I want to build a fun little OS for myself but I hate the part where you have to do magical incantations to get to a decent machi

This is a great idea for a lot of things! Sometimes I will write a loop I know is slow as hell but works for now, and it would be cool to use a timer and do, "if this takes more than X seconds, log a warning." I mean, the perfect

I personally don't care what anyone says, I use comments and doc comments ALL OVER the place; I do it in reverse, though. I write a list of steps for the application as comments, a rough draft at first, then as I develop the code I tak

Nutritional facts labels, specifically, are very strict about the contents of the package. “Organic“ is not a nutritional facts label. I apologize for not giving the full, official name for that label. For decades, it’s been the go-to plac

Good idea! Like a nutritional label for electronics. The FDA is very strict about nutritional labels, as they should be.

Everyone’s missing the point here. You’re all saying this isn’t an AI failure directly because the humans in the loop failed to provide the AI with data. That’s true, but imagine this system automating news articles for CNN or whatever, and

If I didn’t have healthcare on the Obamacare market today, my special needs son would be without care because I can’t afford his care myself. Furthermore, his healthcare would have been impossible to even get privately because of all that p

Guess we should ban woodworkers, skateboarders, and everyone else taking risks from getting healthcare for it then.

We get ever closer to software replacing humans in a vast array of jobs, people scream and shout about how we need to solve the problem of all those humans with no jobs, yet all I see is the inextricable march to obsolescence for many peopl
