False equivalency and a fascist talking point

Tell me. What should the a country/alliance do to prevent an attack of Russia?

Obviously the same thing you’d do if you grew up in a house right next to the hideout of a violent criminal gang. First you loudly tell him what’s what and that you won’t bow down to barbarism. You criticize him and his goons for his thuggish language they are using and protest in front of their lawn. At night you shit on his lawn. Then you loudly proclaim you’ll soon join an opposing gang and then he’ll have it! What’s he gonna do?

Really, this is principle ethics 101. Utilitarianism is for pussies! Confrontation and war is always and the only answer if your beset by barbarism! One more nuke! One more nuke!

That is politically correct: Since there is nothing at all we have done to bring about this war, there is also nothing we could do to prevent more war, or stop the war. Therefor we must embrace war. We might not want total war, but we say yes to total war. Never again!

Rule 3? This is just opinion / propaganda by someone with a vested interest to fan flames.

I suspect it might even be easier (forward vs inverse kinematics).

If you could combine both (pressure sensors and pistons) you could do force feedback input devices that can be 3D printed. Which could be useful for serious applications, like controlling a vehicle and “feeling” the road, or feeling the air pressure on the wings of a plane. Or controlling an excavator and “feeling” the earth by measuring feedback in the pneumatic pressure. Currently things like that is really expensive.

They really went all out haha. They also have a linked website with a video and a tutorial. The tutorial has an easier to understand explanation of what they are doing.

It seems they use simple motion flow of the video to train the neural net, but they also use some kind of volume rendering to train the AI to predict and reconstruct the 3D scene with your robot. And they use cheap depth cameras but apparently it also works without depth. And this works for basically any robot you can imagine which is really brilliant.

Looking at all those pneumatic soft robots, now I wonder if you could invert this to use for an 3D input device. Like a kind of 3D printed pneumatic joystick that simply measures the resulting air pressure at the end of internal channels when you tilt or twist or move the joystick. No wiring or assembly, just 3D print a joystick and glue it to a board.

Woah this is awesome. I imagine this could be used to make “shitty robots” with imperfect joints, backlash or other things more precise. Which could help with 3D printers as well as 3D printed robots. Or using internal strings and pulleys to control a robot arms. Especially for larger robot arms stiffness becomes a problem.

Is there an open source, easy to use software framework so people can start to play and experiment with it?
