good to be working out of a bar again

Is it much of a stretch to think about Ostrom's axioms as specifying a feedback controller, since you're effectively stabilizing an unstable equilibrium?

Has light industrial robot setup/programming got any better in recent years? I know there was an attempt with things like Baxter, but it doesn't seem to have worked out yet

when did resin 3d printers get as cheap as FDM

future go brr

does chess-mma work, or chess submission grappling? Or is the focus on head strikes and impaired decision making kind of the point?

looking at
https://www.chessboxing.info/results/

and I'm actually surprised to see the number of wins by checkmate

I vaguely had the impression that the optimal chessboxing strategy was to be just barely good enough at chess to not lose quick and then pound on the nerds

it's actually a bad place don't go there

the north too but everyone likes the south because shackleton is Aesthetic

there's a good chance there are gigatons of ice under the lunar south pole and if we start chipping into it space is going to get pretty wild

mentally I am here

was still fun

the hdmi-to-rca connector that we're using to run our salvalged TV (after both the HDMI ports died) finally bought it

opened it up, worked out that the 3.3V regulator seemed to be dead, salvaged one, replaced it... and turns out the no-name main IC is also dead

ah well
