I put a little super glue onto these strings pictured above to stiffen them and prevent their knot from untying and solidify everything more generally. But you should apply the glue by dipping the tip of a sewing needle into the glue so you just apply a tiny amount at a time so none gets into the bearing or any other unwanted area. Now I am working on the actuation of a index finger first as actuating the hands is a hard challenge in robotics and has never been done with human level strength, accuracy, speed, and range of motion while simultaneously keeping all actuators within the confine constraints of a human arm between the bones and skin where muscle would be. At best, we've seen people greatly increase the size of the forearm to be the size of a thigh in order to cram in enough motors and electronics to pull this off. So they "cheated" in some sense by just upping the size rather than solving the miniaturization challenges required to fit this all inside a human form factor. So I might be the first to downsize to fit the human form factor. Anyways, that all said, the pulleys must then be very small for the fingers to pull this off as we'll need to fit a ton of pulleys into the forearms. So for this, I went with 1x3x1mm ball bearings I bought on aliexpress. They're only like $25 for 200 of them so very cheap. I will bump up to larger bearings once the torque conversion demands it. These tiny bearings can only handle I think like 3lb of force on them. So once the forces multiply in the down-gearing system enough, I will switch to bigger pulleys as needed. The next size bearings I'm using are 2x5x2.5mm bearings. These can handle around 22lb placed onto them. I'll finally switch to custom made plain bearings once I exceed 22lb of force for the last couple pulleys of the 64:1 down-gearing Archimedes compact pulley system. Each bearing in the down-gearing process has twice the forces placed onto it than the previous bearing upstream of it. So the motor is like .42lb of force coming off its shaft at 0.25cm away from its central axis point which is about where our string wrap will average, so the first bearing ups that to .84lb of force so a 1x3x1mm bearing can handle that. Next doubling is 1.68lb of force. Again, 1x3x1mm bearing can handle that. Next doubling puts us at 3.36lb force. again a 1x3x1mm bearing can handle that (although it's pushing it - we'll see in testing...). Next doubling is 6.72lb force. 1x3x1mm bearing cannot handle that much so we switch to 2x5x2.5mm bearing for that pulley. And on it goes till we hit the last couple bearings which exceed the force even the 2x5x2.5mm ball bearings can handle. For those two bearings we are going to make custom stainless steel plain bearings using stainless steel tubing I bought that just has to be cut to the length we want with a dremel to make a simple plain bearing that has no balls in it. This type of bearing can handle much higher forces because it doesn't have little balls that can be crushed. It will have more friction internally though but that's the tradeoff we have to make to keep the sizes tiny as possible. The final force the pulley system outputs is around 27lb. So 27lb of force will bend the two most distal joints of the index finger. Due to the mechanical advantage loss that happens at the joint itself, I estimate around 5.4lb of force will be all the finger joint can finally lift. So if the robot were to put its hand palm up and pull its index finger back and forth signalling a person to come over here - that movement - for that movement it should be able to pull a 5.4lb weight. That is about the same amount of weight I think my index finger could lift and with great difficulty. So it will be as strong or stronger than me on this joint pair. I say joint pair because the index finger distal two joints share the same muscle for their actuation. They move together at the same time. Here are some prototype pulleys in progress of being made. I have 7 of 9 pulleys done so far for my prototype Archimedes compact pulley system design 64:1 downgearing system. The total size of the 64:1 downgearing system is 11cm x 6mm x 1cm. This is a very convenient form factor for placing lots of these in the elongated spaces of a humanoid robot where muscles would normally be located.

Above is a couple angles of a double pulley stacked vertically instead of side by side. Have not tested it yet but I think it should work. In this design, we have a smaller pulley attached to a larger one. The smaller one is based on a 1x3x1mm ball bearing and the larger one is based on a 2x5x2.5mm ball bearing. The smaller pulley can handle up to 3lb and the larger one can handle up to 22lb (estimated based on what I could find out but I'm not 100% sure on these, they are ball park). Each time we add a pulley we increase the torque by 2x so eventually we move from smaller to more robust, larger pulleys as we go on with the Archimedes down-gearing pulley system.

Above are double stacked pulleys front and side views. One disc on either outside part and one disc in the center that splits the two bearings up. I have to add a black string across the bottom to prevent the yellow rope from skipping over the center pulley disc and hopping into the bearing next to it so that both ropes are sharing the same bearing and rubbing on eachother. That's bad. So a black string running across the bottom will make that jump impossible. So still have to add that. But overall, as long as tension is kept on this setup, it works well. I've tested it and it is working nice and smoothly. Still needs more testing but so far so good. You can see that all my knots and strings are coated in super glue. This is to prevent the knots from untying and just solidify everything more. The clear plastic discs are made from plastic cut out by hand from blueberry, strawberry, and sushi containers from the produce section of the local grocery store. Cakes also have this kind of plastic. It is firm but flexible with great memory to bounce back to prior shape if it is bent temporarily out of alignment. Pretty decent and nice and thin. I like it for this. I think it's less likely to break than a 3d printed disc. I cut it into these tiny discs just by eye with 4" straight titanium embroidery scissors.

>>31063 First I want to explain I'm not being critical just to criticize but just commenting on what I think. I could be wrong. I also have some ideas that might solve some problems but, might not. I see all these pulleys and to me it appears your friction will be very high. I think friction will eat up a LOT of your power. Some possible ways to avoid are to use a Chinese windlass. With it you only have two bearings but the same high multiplication of leverage. Of course the problem here is to get the high power multiplication you need large pulleys to get a large circumference differential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley While looking at this I saw some guys who had an interesting take on this. https://www.linearmotiontips.com/differential-windlass-drives-how-new-designs-work-for-linear-motion/ Though I still think they have too many pulleys that will cause friction. Not a bad idea. Maybe they could repackage it somehow. I had a different idea. A windlass is based on the radius of the largest compared to the radius of the smaller. The larger both of these are and the smaller the difference between them, the bigger the force. What if, instead of a two wheels you used belts. The rope/string would ride on the two belts. So now you have a long linear Chinese windlass that can fit in a smaller package, or thinner.

Another interesting string puller is the Spanish Windlass https://www.theultralighthiker.com/2018/09/08/the-spanish-windlass/

I didn't need to shift the head down, just needed to build up the shoulders/neck according to proper anatomy by adding trapezeus panels (no this doesn't mean SPUD is a trap lol). Next up will be a redesign of the sternum so it extends further upwards and hold some clavicle bits.

Clavicles installed and it makes me smile. Might adjust the trapezeuses (trapezei?) in future. Its the little things that make all the difference.

>>31079 oh haha, cute bushy eyebrows

Took me a while to get the eye lcds working again. Apparently the initial driver for the ILI9341 (and the one you find on the net) was using the incorrect Raspberry Pi GPIO library (or it was depreciated), and while I had it running in my other codes I didn't have it implemented in the example! A few hours of banging my head against the wall, followed by a break and then discovered the problem. Won't be making the same mistake again: I overwrote the initial example so now I will always have the working driver. There is something odd going on with the viewing angle with the LCDs in landscape orientation.... a very small horizontal viewing angle. (you can see how dark the far eye screen is in the 2nd pic) All well I will have to re-design the face to have the eye screens in portrait mode. Well, you know what they say... 2 heads are better than 1!

>>30584 There may be an interesting line of research...on this sort of thing. Shape memory polymers depend on the strength of the dielectric. So do capacitors. So some of the effects of one should change the same in each. There's this guy called Robert Murray-Smith who has a massive YouTube site with all sorts of good stuff. For the longest he concentrated on capacitors, batteries, graphene, that sort of stuff. He has a should not miss set of videos called, The Strange Capacitor - How To Build It and Improve It Return To The Strange Capacitor I suspect very strongly that this effect in PEG comes from it forming a sort of vesicle. Another name for this is a liposome. It's used in drugs delivery and also in liposomal vitamin c. Usually some sort of fat or protein that make something like a cell wall. It would not surprise me if the same stuff Robert is using in capacitors would help actuators. Another thought. If you had two materials with different responses. One large, one small, then if the two were glued together they would curl or curve like an old fashioned bimetal thermostat.

>>30711 Thanks, interesting idea, but this here is a thread about "Materials", but it drifts more and and more into a general about what can be done with certain materials. We have this general thread exactly for that: >>24152 and >>108 for vacuum forming. >>30716 Dielectric actuators are actuators: >>27021

>>30711 I was thinking mainly of it being a bit on thicker side anyway though that is a lot of material. >>30716 I think it comes from the PEG forming long molecular bonds with itself so it creates a scaffolding that holds it's shape under more tension. PEG also can be used as a solvent of sorts which may be related. >>30725 I had included >>30584 here instead of actuator thread because there is other uses for SMP than an actuator and when making it yourself from chemicals it falls into material science. It can be used for a way to repair dents though im not sure if that is an advantage over more rubbery materials that instantly bounce back. Body temperature activated can be a type of actuator with very limited perhaps for a tiny hand to close on your own so i wouldnt consider that an actuator in the same way something that can be actually controlled, rather it could be more accurate to call it reactive material. Though how to make it in chemical synthesis is a whole other thing above my head.

>>30730 Okay, understood. But please keep in mind that this thread is always in danger to drifting towards becoming another R&D general instead of just covering the materials mentioned in other discussions.

>>20283 Veramente uno dei pochi modelli che spiega completamente il comportamento dell'Occidente è che i sovietici, o meglio i globalisti che hanno le mani in pasta dappertutto da un paio di secoli ormai, abbiano finto di collassare e abbiano iniziato a usare gli asset comunisti per infiltrare e portare l'occidente alla rovina dall'interno. Pic related non si spiega con un'america che vuole ancora comandare il mondo.

>>20289 E per sottolineare la continuità con i sovietici vi ricordo che il cuoco di Lenin e Stalin (quello che rischiava la vita ogni giorno se Stalin avesse avuto il minimo sospetto su di lui) di cognome faceva Putin ed era il nonno di Vladimir.

>>20291 Intanto Trump ha fatto delle robe tipo chiedere a zelensky di indagare sugli affari ucraini dei biden che lo fanno sembrare la variabile fuori posto.

Se no arriva Trump poliziotto buono che fa triumvirato con Vlad e con Xi e tutti vissero felici e contenti. Problema reazione soluzione,

Già il fatto che vi mettiate a parlare di politica ammerdacane dimostra quanto siate coglioni nonchè pigliainculo americani. Secondo, ma vivete ancora negli anni sessanta? Credete ancora che i ""sovietici"" siano una entità astratta e misteriosa, a cui non è possibile dare un nome e cognome nonchè una appartenenza etnica e storica? Sovietici = Ebrei internazionali Marx era un ebreo cresciuto a Londra. Il communismo, e tutte le sue derivazioni, altro non è che una versione senza lattosio delle dottrine religiose degli ebrei moderni di stampo talmud. E chi segue il comunismo sta di fatto seguendo delle pratiche religiose ebree, che sono fondalmentalmente disumanizzanti e ad uso e consumo solo degli ebrei. Tra gli ufficiali communisti c'era una sproporzione di ebrei, esageratamente più alta della percentuale di ebrei che normalmente viveva in quelle popolazioni. Gli inglesi hanno sovvenzionato i ((((((sovietici)))))), cioè ebrei, per sovvertire la russia dall'interno, e con il fine ultimo per i britannici di volersi impadronire delle risorse naturali russe, obiettivo che tutt'ora stanno portanto avanti. E sempre gli inglesi, assieme agli americani, hanno sovvenzionato sia il nazismo in germania, che il fascismo in Italia. Quindi gira e rigira, la storia è sempre la stessa. Inglesi ed americani pezzi di merda che cercano di sovvertire e distruggere dall'interno tutte le nazioni dell'europa, spesso cercando di metterle una contro le altre per una mutua autodistruzione, a cui si aggiungono i simpatici ebrei succhiasangue di cazzo di bambini, che lo fanno a gratis perchè sono collettivamente malati mentali a seguito dei loro traumi infantili che si autocausano per via dei loro riti satanici. Hai altre storielle tratte direttamentem dai manuale di propaganda anglo-americano per cercare di cambiare discorso, lontano dalle responsabilità di due nazioni, america ed inghilterra?

I was looking for the link on using optical fibers linked to camera chips for sensors (this is one of the greatest ideas in history). The link for using cameras and fiber for sensors is, https://hackaday.com/2019/08/30/fibergrid-an-inexpensive-optical-sensor-framework/ While looking for this I found a new link that really fits in well with the other that I had not seen. This one, https://hackaday.com/2011/10/21/building-optical-flex-sensors/ A little thought and you will see this guy has figured out a way to make very good touch/pressure sensors that could be waterproof, reliable, self contained and if you combine this with the first, cameras used to sense the values of light back from sensors, now you have a complete sensor package. You can use optical encoders fed by fiber(light) for motion and use this second idea for pressure, touch, sensing and with the first, cameras for sensing, you have the whole thing in one nice package. If the touch sensors are in a X-Y grid you have position sensing, which could be combined with the light attenuation to give touch pressure values with point locality. Since cameras these days have huge values you could have a very precise position location sensing. And the whole thing in a waifu could be self calibrating. So you plug all these fibers and/or sensors into a package. The waifu bends it's limbs in sequence under control while monitoring the feedback from the sensors. After it calibrated what joints go to which pixels on the camera it starts squeezing it's body parts and calibrates the amount of squeeze with pressure and calibrates which pixels and by how much they change. The whole done in a few minutes. Could even do so periodically to make sure calibration is correct with wear. Now the trick is to get away from fiber. Stringing together all these fibers is labor intensive. The second link shows a path to this. In it he has a hollow tube with a filler. What if you made a trough for one side of a skin section and on the other side a hill that fits into the trough? The outsides would be a dark rubber. So you flex it and the light hits the dark rubber and is absorbed as opposed to going straight through the thin film which is clear that you made the trough and hill out of. When I say film I'm saying you make this structure, like a big flexible nervous system out of a cast plastic. Possibly cast the clear interior then spay over, paint or cast the exterior dark surface. I suspect that there will be some trickery and art involved in making this film, trough and hill structure to get the maximum sensitivity without blocking the light all together. You would have to separate the joint bending light attenuation from the pressure/touch sensing light attenuation. I suppose you could bend, then pressure test, touch calibration. Since it knows it's bending joints and knows this value then any further attenuation of light would be assumed to be touch. Every since I heard about the camera fiber sensor idea I've been trying to think of a way to make this THE method of sensing for all facets of the robowaifu I think, "this is the way", though I have no doubt there are lots of niggling bugaboos that could cause trouble. But once you could get some small section worked out and function properly then it's only a matter of multiplying that small section onto the whole of the waifu.

>>30980 Thanks! Great content, Grommet. Cheers. :^)

Found an article that talks about different kinds of touch and it links to papers on artificial nociceptors (feel pain ) and an artificial nervous system to react to pain. I once read someone talk about how it is important for any robot to feel pain because if they cant they will be unable to empathize with human pain. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-022-00496-2 And here is a paper mentioning a magnetic field sensing method for pressure and i assume texture sensing https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.aat0429

This sounds not too but cost wise but it would only help doing hands for touch but ideally you want full body sensors. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/soft-robot-hand-human-touch-17081346 https://doi.org/10.1002/admt.202200595

>>31029 Very interesting. The pressure bandwidth is especially impressive.

A NEW VERSION OF BJARNE STROUSTRUP'S FRESHMAN TEXTBOOK HAS JUST DROPPED! [1] This is really encouraging to me r/n, Anons. It was such a long delay for this update, that I had finally given in and figured that Bjarne was too tired to focus on education for the language any longer thus my own feeble attempts to take up that mantle, such as they are. :^) BUT NO. He fooled me, heh. :D PPP3 is out now (already have my ebook, and the print copy is on the way lol), and there are a couple of big changes: * The book has been cut basically in half! About a dozen PPP2 chapters were removed for this edition, and are now freely available on the book's site for download as .pdf files. * The underlying graphics library is no longer based on FLTK, but on Qt. This is a significant change for those 5 chapters, I expect (I'll let you know). Lots of ppl had trouble getting FLTK working properly on their machines -- and Qt has slick, pre-built installers for many platforms -- so this will likely be a benefit for most Anons learning this most important language to us, through this textbook. SO... Since I was basing this entire class on PPP2, I'll now have to rethink where we're going with it. Very likely I'll lock this thread and the textbook thread permanantly -- and redo the entire thing for PPP3. :^) This will also include the rentry copy of the work. So this means a LOT of additional, new work on my part that I hadn't planned for this year. So, for now, and until further notice, this class is cancelled. I imagine I may be able to pick it back up during the upcoming Winter semester with the new content, but maybe it'll have to be a year from now instead, Lord willing (I currently have a lot on my plate already). Also, I'm not sure how to manage it here on /robowaifu/ now that I myself can't even post files here any longer lol. Maybe we'll put it on Trash instead? Regardless, this is very good news for /robowaifu/ and other Anons. We're going to need probably at least a dozen Anons skilled in programming with C++ here, to pull off our good opensauce robowaifu's 'minds'.

>>31023 Maybe this will interest you, maybe not, but it sure looks interesting to me. And so you will at least think about it, "...Written in C for maximal compatibility (C++ compatible)..." Which I know makes you happy. Look at this killer GUI library. It looks great AND it even runs on microcontrollers including the ESP32(which is how I found it) LVGL - Light and Versatile Graphics Library https://github.com/lbcb/LittlevGL Look at the live demos below in a browser. They look really good. Maybe...instead of the huge library they are using in the book you could cut a great deal of effort and time out by using a nice little package. https://lvgl.io/demos

>>4816 >>4819 >>5027 I enjoyed Gran Turismo The Movie. In fact I went knowing that I would enjoy it more at the cinema anticipating the stuff happening in it as a comedy than I would at home where I'd have the choice of functionally every movie ever made and have that in the back of my mind watching it - whereas if you go the cinema and (preferably) go in smiling, then it's exclusively the source material's fault or not in terms of coloring how you end up experiencing it, notwithstanding other people who cough & eat popcorn or what not. Orlando Bloom in it does great. Successfully carries some of the most diabolical lines given in a movie about car nerds. "Now Le Mans is a race lasting 24 whole hours.." Big respect for being able to carry it. The blacktor playing the character I will call "Angry Dad" actually had some range, that he could do. The script doesn't afford it. But he gave me the impression he could be given a chance. Ginger spice could GTFO and only improve the movie. The role's probably written bad. Casting didn't help matters though. May as well have changed the script to be about single Dad's clumsy paternalistic love for his son. There are sections that break the suspension of disbelief too much even for a comedy when the characters start mixing "foreign lingo" (sheeeeit fam) with "gamer talk" "they levelled up" etc. I think the kids are supposed to find forrin speak colloquial and gutteral and therefore relatable, but it twinges my English heart a bit whenever there's a butchering of the language like that. Those are insignificant & small moments that must be suffered through. I suppose I better wrap it up since no one wants to read an essay on Gran Turismo The Movie. Go in knowing what you're going to get. Go in with a small number of genuine friends who also know what they too are getting. Then you will ironically or otherwise enjoy the experience, if not (in each of your opinions) the movie proper. I'm glad I went out of respect for brand loyalty instead of buying Autosport/7 ruined by a bunch of incompetent Nipponese sino-Jews no time for ruining the series fuck off

TheTheGatorGamerGamer wrote this giant textwall essay about muh white genocide and muh great replacement and posted it on KF. He went full /pol/ spastic and deliberately attracted all the other /pol/ spastics who promptly ruined the site forever. The whole reason TheTheGatorGamerGamer went to Moldova/Ukraine was to try hang around Weev IRL. Weev was living in Transnistria at the time. Of course TheTheGatorGamerGamer also needed a cheap place to live at the time bickers his long-suffering mother had finally thrown him out bickers the Donny Long disaster got her sacked from her realty job bickers spastics spammed CP to every email address in her company.

>>14826 well, I decided to finally write that zig imageboard, 2 years later. I'm still not 100% happy with the results, but it's an improvement over the previous attempt. this one is easier to setup too, and it only has two dependencies besides the zig compiler: sqlite and imagemagick. no libcaptcha this time (just imagemagick) and even less javascript (none) https://codeberg.org/cirefl/yutai (sorry for the necrobump)

>>28906 >(sorry for the necrobump) NONSENSE! :^) We here on /robowaifu/ don't believe in any such thing! :D BTW, if you do create a site, please allow for Torposting of files. Also, a post 'move' feature (such as the one supported by JSchan server software) would be very nice. And lastly, I may say that having a JSON API for your pages would be very welcome, since it would allow tools like our BUMP (and soon, Bumpmaster) to effectively access/archive your site's boards. Good luck with your project, Anon. Cheers. :^) >=== -add 'JSON' cmnt

Or with a hard-core Leftist/Filthy-Commie. They -- all of them -- hate the very idea itself. Most of the ones I've engaged with in any way also threaten physical violence against robowaifus if/when they ever see one. We'll see how that all works out for them. :^) The Filthy Commies go one step further and threaten physical attack against robowaifu owners too since that's how Filthy Commies behave, after all (think: Pantyfags, F*men, etc.) -- under the bribery directives of their Globohomo puppetmasters, ofc. LOL. Heh, we all need to look up Stickman (is he out yet?) and give him a complementary Model A robowaifu! :^) Blacks just destroy things simply b/c they're blacks, by all appearances. They also will be involved with this violence to be directed against robowaifus/owners; but mindlessly, not for the agenda-driven motives of the first two groups mentioned here. Once they see the GH media glorifying physical attacks against robowaifus, I'm sure they'll be all-in with it for a while, too. (And -- like these other Leftists -- they too have their paid rabble-rousers [cf. the paper-hangin', pregnant-woman-abusin', multi-feloner Fentanyl Floyd's overdose-death's -- mostly-peaceful, mind you -- Burn Loot Murder 'honorarium' """protests""", et al]). All this type of clickbait (cf. >>30975, et al) is literally just GH predictive-programming attempting to prepare the masses for violence, come the day. TOP KEK! May the stones that they are preparing to roll down on us, all roll back upon their own heads instead, in Jesus' name!!

>>31012 >For some reason the crotch reminds me of a robosapien... I think it is the slight angle where the codpiece meets the first hip joint.

I keep having fantasies of my robot wife while we listen to edm. Anyone have an idea how we can make a robot enjoy music? My current idea is a stream of consciousness (one frame every 0.1 sec) that gets put through a liquid time constant rnn or equivalent trained on emotion and music. There's some github repos I can get started using if no one else has a better idea.

>>30992 How do you "train"on emotion? Do you mean you pick a specific genre, say EDM, then assign a positive weight to it, and assign negative values to other genres? Like in RL? So, you're gf will say positive things when hearing EDM ?

>>30993 Assign a value to of -10 to +10. Let sensory information dictate that value. >positive weight to it, and assign negative values to other genres? If you force someone to like something, do they really like it? Emotions are influenced by hormones for humans which, when represented in pure data, would be numeric noise for a robot. Ask yourself, "Who are you with when you're listening to the music, what did you eat before you listened to the music, what kind of place are you listening to the music in?". There's lots of background information that your brain processes on top of the hormones it releases to color the world with emotion. All those factors contribute to the overall enjoyment of music and how you feel about it when you hear it. I got my dick sucked while listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL1BDku3GLM, I'd heard the song before but it hit a little different to me after that experience and whenever I hear it now, an emotion (along with a memory tied to that emotion) resonates with me. I don't think a robot can enjoy music the same way a human can, not without a very sophisticated brain than what we currently have available. At best, it could mimic a human's emotions if they saw the human was enjoying music. If you just want the robot to say "I enjoy electronic funk", that's easy enough to write into its definitions/personality.

>>30992 >>30993 >>30998 May I introduce you Anons to Snowball, the dancing cockatoo? I'm sure his little birb-brain is quite smol compared to a human's, yet as a Nephesh creature (like all birbs), he is capable of emotions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7IZmRnAo6s >=== -minor edit

>llama3-70b on Groq runs at 300 tokens/s for 7k tokens >mixtral-8x7b at 550 tokens/s for 7k tokens >my tinyllama-1.1b model extended to 12k tokens runs at 0.5 tokens/s I don't feel so good, bros. How do we make faster models? I have an idea to use Matryoshka representation learning to reduce the hidden dimension size dynamically: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.13147 but even if I truncate the model's 2048 dimensions down to 512 dimensions, it will perform at 8 tokens/s at best. And who knows how much slower it will be once I get to 32k context. If it's possible to reduce 90% of the tokens to 64 dimensions, then it might get 70 tokens/s at the very most, but GPU latency will probably fuck that down to 20 tokens/s. I could also prune a few layers of the model, quantize it to 4-bits and implement mixture of depths https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.02258 but that will only give a tiny speed up and I don't want the accuracy to drop further than it is. With the much smaller model size though I could convert it into a sparse-mixture-of-experts model https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04088 with 16 experts to make up for the loss in accuracy without sacrificing speed. The model will eventually be finetuned with self-rewarding ORPO too, hopefully providing a boost in usefulness to overcome its barebone compute, although I'll likely use Llama3-70b to bootstrap the reward labels until its capable of consistently self-improving on its own. Odds ratio preference optimization (ORPO): https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07691 Self-rewarding LMs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.10020 The T5 efficient model worked fine with a hidden dimension size 512 after finetuning: https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10686 And Matryoshka representation learning also worked well using a 16-dimension embedding for a 1k-class classification task. I forget the paper but I remember reading one years ago where they found some layers in transformers are only making a decision between a few choices, so a large hidden size might not be necessary in those cases. To convert the model's hidden states to Matryoshka I plan to add importance biases to parameters and train the biases with the rest of the parameters frozen and then take the softmax over them and top-k. After training, the parameters could be sorted and the importance biases pruned, and then the model parameters could be finetuned. I may have to train an even smaller model from scratch though since TinyLlama uses 32 attention heads.

>>31006 >use Matryoshka representation learning to reduce the hidden dimension size dynamically This seems both interesting & promising, Anon. Good luck with your research. Cheers. :^)

>>30894 >>30899 > Congratulations. Thank you, both. As a home and mortgage owner, I am now officially another normie cog in the machine! Lots of work already done, lots for me still to do in the near future! Speaking of cogs in machines; the main design problem with the Elfdroid arms was my choice of servo horn. The round ones (even aluminum) are no good for a joint that supports a lot of weight and must move back-and-forth repeatedly. Those round servo horns are only held onto the servo output shaft by little gear-teeth and/or a small grub-screw. This will wear a groove into the output shaft afer only a few dozen limb movements. Meaning the servo horn will begin to slip on the shaft, resulting in huge errors of movement in the robot's limb (no matter how well-programmed the servos). If this problem is ignored for long enough, the robot's limb will eventually detach mid-movement, often yanking out wires and bending electronic pins in the process. For any joint under heavy load, I highly recommend using the best R/C car-type aluminum servo horns that you can find. I used a couple of these in Sophie's neck joints and they eliminate the servo output shaft wear/slippage problem entirely. Of course, they are far more expensive, precision-machined components, but that's part-and-parcel of any serious robotics project (as I learned when reading about backlash and harmonic drives). Thought I should leave the main design + build error that I made here at the end, just in case anyone else ever tries building Elfdroid arms or wants to edit the CAD files.

via >30501 >This article demonstrates a two-step method to 3D print double network hydrogels at room temperature with a low-cost ($300) 3D printer. A first network precursor solution was made 3D printable via extrusion from a nozzle by adding a layered silicate to make it shear-thinning. After printing and UV-curing, objects were soaked in a second network precursor solution and UV-cured again to create interpenetrating networks of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate) and polyacrylamide. By varying the ratio of polyacrylamide to cross-linker, the trade-off between stiffness and maximum elongation of the gel can be tuned to yield a compression strength and elastic modulus of 61.9 and 0.44 MPa, respectively, values that are greater than those reported for bovine cartilage. The maximum compressive (93.5 MPa) and tensile (1.4 MPa) strengths of the gel are twice that of previous 3D printed gels, and the gel does not deform after it is soaked in water. By 3D printing a synthetic meniscus from an X-ray computed tomography image of an anatomical model, we demonstrate the potential to customize hydrogel implants based on 3D images of a patient’s anatomy. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.7b00094

I found what might be an excellent low cost resource. Used or refurbished 3D printers on ebay. I found by accident looking for 3D stuff on ebay. Creality has their own ebay store where they sell refurbished printers. The bad part, Creality's quality control sucks, bad. These are printers someone has already returned and while they say they refurbish them, some appear for the bad reviews to be thrown in the same box and shipped out again. So why bother? The VERY important point is because they are refurbished ebay, allstate insurance has a two year warranty on these things. They also tend to be slightly over or around half the cost. Still you might say that's a bad deal but if look at the reviews on Amazon the negatives tend to be Exactly the same percentage as they are on the returned, refurbished printers. So you're really not taking much if any more risk and you're getting a much better warranty. Another way to think of it that for any part that may be bad you could upgrade to a far better one, make sure everything works and still be out less money than the one bought new from Amazon, while taking no more numerical risk of getting a bad one. Now it would be nice to have the funds to buy a perfect printer but to get a really good one you're talking $500 or higher. Base model ender 3's you can get for around $100 used. I like the ender 3 V3 SE. I like the dual screws on the "Y" and "Z" axis. This gives you a great platform for stability and the direct drive extruder is far better as opposed to boden cables. Boden cables are likely to be a problem if you speed it up to go faster. The cable friction causes problems though at low speeds it's perfectly fine. SE, not the fastest, but I think you could add parts over time and make it better and better. Creality is not the best but they have so many sold there's a pile of hardware and software add-ons. So over time you could make it what you wanted while cheaply getting into it.

Less than an hour til release. Is there any hope it will be good?

>>9783 No. Go buy the first. If you already own it, go play it again. Story was fucking terrible and the map had that fucked old mmo geometry, reminded me of white knight chronicles. The only good thing was the gameplay and the gameplay loop (really solid), and the pawn builder. Can't imagine they improved the story any and they nerfed the character creator, so you better hope that playloop is tasty enough for your $80.

>>30102 >Update LidaPy seems nice, but it too is in a EoL programming language, python2. My only option at this point is to see if anyone can refactor it to python3 or just use very old software to test it. I'm feeling like it might be best to DIY something on a newer platform that follows the lida framework. The LIDA tutorial even repeatedly states: "The Framework constitutes one, but not the only, way of implementing the Model.", like they want you to make a new implementation. Before I go ahead with any work, it's always important to remember to check who owns the rights to any IP. I would be a research associate at a university if it weren't for IP rights, and I've pondered going to memphis to develop LIDA if I would have the right to use it in my bot commerically. I'll post an update if there's any progress.

>>30840 >but it too is in a EoL programming language, python2. >My only option at this point is to see if anyone can refactor it to python3 or just use very old software to test it. Might I suggest an alternative option of having someone rewrite it in C++ , Anon? 40+ years and still going strong today (fully backwards-compatible, of course -- basic C++ code written in the 80's/90's will still build today!) :^) Good luck, Anon. I hope you can succeed with your LIDA research. Cheers. :^)

Potentially useful, potentially ontopic thread on 4cuck/sci/ I was there looking around for the linked thread from our Propaganda thread lol. https://boards.4chan.org/sci/thread/16087430#p16087430

>>30840 Python2 can still be installed. Also with installers like Nix you should be able to install old versions of Java.

>>30863 I looked into it and found that it is not recommended to install Python2 anymore. You can install PyPy or IronPython instead. There seem to also be some other long term support options. I don't know which Java it needs, but JRE8 seems to be in the Nix repo. You can install and run software exclusive to the nix-shell. But I'm new to this myself. I might be able to help a little bit. I also looked a bit into Lida itself and it looks like something how I would've imagined it. I might going to try it out at some point, and when I start to implement something myself I might look use it as a resource. I will most likely learn Elixir while doing it, at least for the any part which is not about number crunching.

>>784 I think that French lentils are best. They retain shape when cooked, and have a pleasant peppery, earthy flavor. When pandemic was starting, everyone was going for rice and pasta, but lentils were almost untouched, despite keeping just as well and being far more nutritious. I stacked up on them and have been slowly making my way through the excess. Usually I cook up a batch and eat them over few days. When cooking I add mirepoix, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. If I happen to have some homemade stock or bouillon cube I add it too. My go to uses are: >Bowl of lentils topped with herbs or fresh green vegetables >As a side for meat instead of starches like potatoes or rice >To thicken and enrich stews, good to add protein and more flavor to a "vegan chilli" for example >Cold in salads >Cooked until they turn into a creamy soup My go to recipe is a lentil salad. All you need are pre-cooked lentils, carrots, celery, onion, mustard, olive oil, and lemon. All of these ingredients keep well and most people have them on hand. I use one cup of vegetables per two cups of lentils. Fresh herbs are very good to top the salad; parsley or chives work best in my opinion, but scallions work well too. For fat, goat cheese is my favorite here, but fresh mozzarella, avocado, or even an extra potion of olive oil will work well too. Recipe is simple: >Dice carrots, celery, onion. You can saute them a bit, but that's optional. >Mix vegetables in a bowl with precooked lentils. >Mix in a table spoon of mustard and a tablespoon of olive oil >Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste, mix it

>>784 Roast some cut down carrots, put the lentils in, with water, you may add add some laurel leafs, let it cook at some decent heat. While waiting roast some onion in a pan, add some flour when then onions are already dark, wait till the flour is golden or brown and add this to the lentils. Of course stir it from time to time so it wont glue on the ground, scratch a bit around there. Put some salt and black pepper in, maybe a bit Muscat powder. You may experiment with some additional spices, a bit chilly is also nice. Also add some sausages (e.g. German hotdog like "Saitenwürste"), maybe cut them in a little, let it boil on low heat for a while. The sausages need to exchange some flavor with the rest but don't really need to be cooked so add them rather late. Tomato sauce makes it a bit fruity, that's the more Italian than (South)-German variant, in that case you don't need the rosted flour above, and it may fit better without the sausages. I sometimes also added other vegetables, especially green or red pepper. Also need some pasta. For the fully German variant it would be pasta with eggs and rather mushy instead al dente. But works with other pasta as well. Mix it on the plate and add some vinegar (also for better digestion). You can of course also cook it with some meat that may be smoked or already cooked, amd it needs to gets soft when cooked so you won't end up with the something like rubber. Or replace the pasta with potatoes.

Oh hey /ck/ >Made some baked chicken thighs and onions with rice made from the liquid. It's not perfect but I thought of you >OH HEY ITS ROYAL RUMBLE Starts in an hour Smug/wooo/18702

When I cook lentils I make them into lentil and rice stew. Mince a large onion or a few bundles of green onions, and several jalapeno peppers, a red bell pepper, and an entire bulb of garlic. Saute them in butter, coconut oil, bacon grease, or whatever is available to you. I sometimes add half a pound or a pound of sliced deli ham, minced, or about a pound of lean ground beef, chicken, et cetera, but this is optional. Saute it all until the onions begin to caramelize. You can get the meat to begin to brown a bit too, but cooking all the meat all the way through isn't necessary at this stage. Deglaze the pan and get everything into a large kettle with a gallon of water. Bring the water and onion mixture to a boil. At this point additional seasonings would be good. A tablespoon each of salt and pepper, and a bay leaf, are a good start, but this is very personal. Just keep in mind that it's a big batch and a lot of stuff to season. If you like bouillon cubes then we're talking about anywhere from ten to twenty, for example, for this much liquid, depending on your preferences. Get it all boiling. While you're waiting for it to boil, pour in a can of mixed vegetables, to give it a bit more color and texture. When it's all boiling, add one pound of washed lentils and one pound of brown rice. Bring it all back to a boil. Keep stirring it. The lentils in particular are prone to going to the bottom in a dense sticky mass that won't cook properly if you don't keep them moving. When it is all back at a rolling boil and the lentils are circulating and not in a glob at the bottom of the pan, I like to add one of those small cans of tomato paste. Break it up and mix it in with a wire whisk, don't just plop it in there. Get it mixed more or less uniform. Now put a cover on that kettle and put it in the oven at about 275 F. Or 135 Celsius, if you prefer. Let it all simmer for a few hours. It will lose a fair amount of water and the liquid level will drop, but that's okay. Stir it before serving with oyster crackers. The leftovers freeze beautifully. I know this isn't /fit/ but lentils + rice gives you all the needed amino acids for animal metabolism. It'll also be fairly high in fiber, vitamins, and iron.

>>823 Thanks! Glad to see some info on /ck/ about this. Any advice for someone in poverty who has access to little else but a microwave, a big cup, and water? I can get a small variety of food supplies at a drugstore like a Walgreen's, but little else.

I'd err more on the pragmatic side. Make the bot as big as it needs to be to accommodate the necessary internal components to facilitate locomotion. I think the happy medium of size and functionality is around 5 feet tall. I would imagine it would utilize child-like proportions, not to emulate kids but because it'd be cheaper and easier to perform maintenance on a bot with a smaller frame. It'd also be easier to store since it'd take up less space. It doesn't matter if the limb length or hip width is slightly exaggerated if it's for the sake of accommodating a bot's ability to navigate and interact with its environment. As far as the issue of "child sex" doll aspect, I'd simply have the external body looking more mechanical aesthetically.

I was looking for a software that would help a AI to sort known people into categories based on traits, including psychological traits. Something like a pattern for personas. Anyways, I found something else instead, which would be useful to test a robowaifu and get ideas about how to design her AI: >PsyToolkit’s experiment library https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/

>>30862 Thanks NoidoDev! I'm quite skeptical of """modern""" Psychological so-called 'Science', personally. Do you think this will be as valuable in designing AI as simple field-tests with volunteer Anons would be? One of the brilliant '12 principles of Animation' [1] is character appeal [2][3]. Arguably, focusing instead on the concrete 'deliverables' of this list (insofar as each might pertain directly to real-world robowaifus) is a more-tractable general approach for us all IMO -- including the development of her AI. Also, it seems to me that as long as we get that one right (character appeal), we'll all be golden at producing great opensource robowaifus -- and with much less 'hemming and hawing' along the way. Any ideas about my points, Anon? --- 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4 2. https://www.animationmentor.com/blog/appeal-the-12-basic-principles-of-animation/ 3. This concept also has strong ties to the Greek concept of Ethos. >=== -fmt, prose edit

>>30864 > I'm quite skeptical of """modern""" Psychological so-called 'Science', personally. That might be somewhat justified but I would throw the child out with the bathwater. Any way of describing a personality should be considered worth contemplating in regards to configuration of the RW personality, but also to think about which topics need to be covered when it comes to work on the AI. Then tests can be used to see if she can have certain skills and traits. On the other hand, understanding people by having some framework should also be useful at some point. > Animation' [1] is character appeal [2][3] Sorry, but this isn't the topic. This is about looks, I was arguing about personality or psychological traits.

>>30866 >that might be somewhat justified but I would[n't] throw the child out with the bathwater. Fair enough. Certainly it's good to devise some type of metrics for robowaifu performance analysis -- including her cognitive functions ofc. >Sorry, but this isn't the topic. This is about looks, I was arguing about personality or psychological traits. Actually, character appeal goes right to the very core of what an interesting person (or robowaifu) is or isn't. It touches on practically every.single.aspect. of robowaifu design & production AFAICT. Certainly, as a software engineer currently focusing on trying to make robowaifus realistic and pleasant to live with, many of the 12 principles are guidestones for the systems-software design -- and none more important than character appeal. I'd recommend you reconsider my advice, as well as examine this particular principle in some depth. Cheers Anon. :^)
