From Scratch

Xander Naumenko | I make things. Occasionally stuff as well, just to mix it up a bit.

pov of my air hockey robot!

Replaced a few motors and expanded the range of motion, I think my air hockey robot is just better than me at this point

llms have made me surprisingly annoyed at how common it is in English for asking questions to actually be a demand rather than a request for information. "Is a fix here possible?" is clearly a genuine question, "can you go ahead and fix it?" is a command and "can you fix it?" is genuinely ambiguous and I'm not sure what I want the interpretation to be

@linguinelabs 200fps so no it’s not. I think actually slightly bottlenecked on inference right now

Finally got this working well today, quick best of three with my air hockey robot!

@BreakingTaps Wait I learn about the release of both a new Breaking Taps video and Storm light 5 from the same post? It's a good day

Finally finished my next video, I've made an electronic chess board that removes the concept of turns! Link in the replies

@__paleologo For Kelly you just maximize EV log payout subject to your portfolio summing to 1, which using a Lagrange multiplier gives that your portfolio weight is just p[i] for each. Not sure about Sharpe, the algebra seems to get messy but I'm sure there's some clever trick

[From Scratch @xandernaumenko]

I'm curious

@hankgreen Davinci, only fully featured program that supports linux

[From Scratch @xandernaumenko]

Why work on functionality when you can stay up until 5am the day before you have to film making a flashy startup sequence?

@ESYudkowsky Don't we already have a wolf and boy related fable to refer to exactly this already though?

[From Scratch @xandernaumenko]

@patrickjs This felt like being rickrolled for the first time again lol

[From Scratch @xandernaumenko]

I may have a slight online shopping problem...

Just got 15 pounds worth of 50N lifting electromagnets for the project I'm currently working on

[From Scratch @xandernaumenko]

This is so awesome. I wonder if you could do more complex animations with keyboard text input as well

💫DID YOU KNOW💫
that if you move a mouse cursor fast enough, you can get persistence of vision and, say...

*run a game of Pong inside your mouse's firmware*

@hot_girl_spring I like the 29 downvotes. Like is this part of someone's cursed workflow?

@RockettLord I'm not convinced I wouldn't have dropped out on the spot upon having to take LabVIEW 101. Also for the first one I like the idea of a class randomly switching between stuff like pitch diameter and Amdahl's law with no explanation, just threads in a general sense

[From Scratch @xandernaumenko]

@joebarnard That, undefined behavior and multi threading.
