if you took typing classes and do the "home row" positioning poo poo, you're supposed to use both hands. if you do that "beeftweeter" is possible to type entirely with the left

i read this quickly as "home raw" and assumed it was a reference to some sort of masturbation + typing technique, especially with "beef wetter" thrown in the mix :q:

lmao the class was in fact Inventor-centric (or well, one semester we did AutoCAD the next we did Inventor) and i did use that for a long-rear end time

I'm old enough that we had to have one semester of drafting by hand before taking the computer drafting class. My rear end in a top hat teacher would never give anyone 100% and would just write "Center lines -2%" regardless of actual quality. Next semester we messed around in AutoCAD LT and Rhino 3D. I'd finish my work in about 15 minutes and spend the rest of the time goofing off.

Now I use AutoCAD LT daily for work and also occasionally run a CNC router with g-code generated from Fusion 360. Never messed with Inventor, but did use Rhino more in college and also Creo (formerly Pro Engineer). Creo seemed really drat good if you were willing to drop the big bucks on all the extra modules, but really way to powerful for anything I'm doing now.

Beeftweeter posted:

we were forced to in like middle school. i was hitting 120 wpm even back then

The software in my typing class (called keyboarding back then lol) was ancient and would only parse the text at spaces. so I figured out that if you just type an unending stream of characters with no spaces it would output a score with only 1 error. I’d keep the score sheet and discard the typed output sheet to hide my cheating and then just play frogger, which was installed on these old rear end systems.

The key is to make your wpm realistic because you could get like 600 wpm just mashing keys. I sold my knowledge to seniors in the class

i did the same, when we finally got to CAD drafting it was 3d studio vis and autocad. i had used 3ds max before and i knew the commands in autocad so it took like 10 minutes to do the actual assignments and i spent the rest of the time loving around building my own stuff.

other than supporting a drafting firm, i haven't touched either since.

an incredible number of even musk-fans think that the cars have stereoscopic camera systems because there are multiple forward facing cameras.

they get so pissy about it too when I point out they are mistaken lol. like yeah sure I've only been immersed in technical documentation for optical imaging and vision systems 40hrs a week for 16 years or so, I must not know anything about it.

humans have two eyes.

so... what if we had a bunch of cameras with different focal lengths and then sort of mashed that data into a neural network and it guessed at the relative depths of the objects in the scene? that'd be basically just as good, right?

okay, sure, sometimes it gets confused by things like lighting and provides absolute nonsense depth values depending on the colour of the object, and also there's just a big swath of bad data all the time because there was an obstruction there in the earlier data used for training, but still. it's probably good enough to direct a two ton vehicle
