I found Multiboard really confusing and it was never clear what I actually needed to print to start snapping things together. openGrid is much simpler in comparison and also took up a lot less material (especially when using the Lite grid variant)
Wayland clients don't draw things the way old-school X clients do (neither do modern X clients), so it doesn't make sense at the Wayland level. KDE or GTK could potentially implement something like this though.
It's the word 撚 which means penis (lan2 which sounds more like "lun"). You can pretty much stick it between many words, much like "fucking" in English, to add emphasis.
I ride motorcycles on the track, and most track riders/racers disable or delete ABS on their bikes. The idea of ABS sounds great, but it’s often too primitive for high performance riding. On a hot summer day with sticky tires and a clean track, you’ll flip over the handlebars before you lock the front wheel. However, most ABS systems work by detecting the speed difference between the front and rear wheels. As you brake hard into a corner, the weight transfers forwards and the rear wheel can come completely off the ground. I’m braking as hard as possible but at this point the ABS sees the rear wheel spinning freely in the air and decides I don’t have brakes anymore. Check out this clip from WSBK for an extreme example of what I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/48lcS3hPVrE?si=UORAFvQt4Djf95Uv
I don’t claim to be able to out brake ABS on the varied conditions of the street though. I would NEVER turn off ABS outside a controlled environment. Honestly it should be a legal requirement for bikes just like cars and it’s pretty silly that manufacturers like to charge $500-1000 extra for this feature.
I would disagree. All of what we are seeing from this latest surge in AI is essentially jumped up predictive text. To get to C-3P0 there is a whole additional layer of Intelligence needed. C-3P0 can make plans and execute those plans. This latest wave cannot reason about the world, it does not know or understand the world it just assembles words (and here motions) in a way that we value. It is not planning anything.
That's the easy part. Making high level plans is trivial compared to the fine motor control and dexterity and sensing necessary to do things like turn a T-shirt inside out or install a fitted sheet or crack an egg or whatever. If you give me a robot with all the fine motor skills necessary for all the steps to cook a meal but no planning capability whatsoever, I'll have that robot cooking your dinner within a year.
I think you're giving C3PO too much credit for the bumbling idiot he usually is when on screen. Well aside from calculating the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field, but I'm sure GPT 4 will let you know what that is just as easily, as well as translating any language into any other language which is supposedly 3PO's whole schtick.
> cannot reason about the world, it does not know or understand the world it just assembles words
They can reason a surprising amount given that they only work with text. With vision/actuation encoding there's potential for far more. Remember, it doesn't have to be smart or conscious as long as it gets the job done with cold hard statistics while just appearing as such. A submarine does not swim but crosses the ocean just the same.
> as well as translating any language into any other language which is supposedly 3PO's whole schtick.
To be pedantic, language is only half the job, as a protocol droid it's C3POs job to understand social protocols, ie etiquette, and knowing what one culture might misunderstand about another and smooth over any faux pas, a task that requires considerable empathy and attention to subtle emotional cues.
i'm very curious to know what it would take to turn a language model designed to respond to prompts, and create something that can proactively interrupt a situation - to realize when it has something to contribute, and keeping its virtual mouth shut otherwise.
Well on one hand that's something that even humans can't do that well, on the other there already are a load of reddit bots that search for relevant strings in posted comments and reply when relevant. I suppose it would be a more advanced version of that, just interjecting when the probability that it knows what info follows is large enough, just replace the stream of new comments with a speech to text engine.
Hmm, perhaps that clumsiness was a programmed affect designed to disarm those he interacted with. After all, as a translator and master of protocol, outshining his master in any way would be quite against his programming.
If I had to guess, we're over 50 years away from seeing a real-life C-3PO -- hopefully before I die. I think self-driving cars are even further away than that, however.
I picked up the Miryoku layout a year or two ago and the home row mods (Ctrl, alt, shift...) make all the difference. Adding a thumb key into the shortcut to hit a key on a layer doesn't take much extra mental energy and it becomes muscle memory for certain shortcuts. It's a little like playing different chords on the piano. I added some customization for Vim arrow keys and now I don't think I'll ever go back.
