KiddieGrinder posted:I looked at this and the highly successful SCiO thing (and I think there were others too but I forgot) and it seems their gimmick isn't somehow scanning the food like on Star Trek, but rather looking at a very tiny piece of it (on the outside mind you), looking up a database of known foods, and trying to find a match. Ahaha, nope! quote:The Proscan also comes with an optical sensor that uses spectrometry to read the “molecular footprint” of any object and display its nutrient value on your connected smartwatch, smartphone or tablet. It is Star Trek level technobabble bullshit. Also I love how the profile picture of the project creator is just a scan of a license.

even if it worked as described, IR doesn't penetrate solids very well so if you put an orange on it all it will see is a lot of cellulose and report 0 calories of course it's total BS so it won't even do that much

It would probably be worth mentioning in the risk and challenges section that they'll be competing against a 30 year old game, or that they'll have to come up with a different name.

Well, I'm affected by this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/triggertrap/triggertrap-redsnap-modular-camera-trigger/posts/1144189 Just wanted to add some details to that late night link: quote:Most importantly, that the manufacturing phase of Triggertrap Ada was going to be way more expensive than we expected. In fact, by the time all was said and done, Ada was going to cost three times more to create than we had planned for when we kicked off the project. They are offering options for no refund, 20% to charity, 20% back, or 50% in store credit, which is a small selection of their old gen product. They had delivered before, but joke's still on me, and I'm out a bit of cash. Piquai Souban has a new favorite as of 14:07 on Mar 2, 2015 |

Oh, I know. How about calculating the biggest number in existence? I can write a program that adds 1 until it reaches the biggest number, but I'll need a super computer to run it. When it's done, I'll attempt to calculate the smallest fraction by dividing 1 by 10 until I hit it.

Watch the video if you haven't watched the video. It has additional details. One workstation to calculate the digits, another workstation to verify the digits, another to run a database of digits, another to be storage for the database of digits and another to perform the backups to dvd for the storage for the database of digits. All of them connected to a multi hdmi supportive monitors. The PI calculator will be written in the powerhouse of the high performance computing world, Visual Basic. If someone says 'Visual Basic' I would usually assume they mean Visual Basic .Net, but I get the feeling he means VB6. PHP is also worked in there somehow. quote:If I can solve PI I want to develop trinity machine code programing instead of just binary 1 and 0's, Trinity code would be compromised of 0, 1, and 2's where 2 is machine code for pi. I hope i reach my financial goal to do all of my studies to see where technology can truly take us!

Out of his six planned very expensive servers he's only planning to use one to calculate the digits of pi. The other five do jobs that a single much cheaper server could do. He's also planning to buy Opterons which seem to be about half as fast at calculating pi than comparable Xeons. It must be a troll. Every decision he makes is as wrong as possible.

If he's trolling, he's consistent - he uses that profile pic and name where he tries to audit the http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.beezid.com?page=2 leads to http://beezid-scam.blogspot.ca/ leads to more one-post blogs he has and following "make money fast" accounts. He sounds like your standard teenage kid who has just enough knowledge to formulate "big" ideas and enough ego to think these ideas aren't laughably simple/wrong enough to have been tried or discarded decades ago. The only difference here is he's 32.

Maybe if you throw a banana cream pie at the machine, the gunk on the ICs is what generates the 2??? How could we not have known this!!!

Every bit is represented by two bits. The low bit and the pi bit. 00-0 01-1 10 or 11- pi 64 bit numbers become 32 pi-bit numbers, and you have to do arithmetic operations in software until hardware catches up with this revolutionary idea, but its worth it to represent up to 4294967295 * pi^32 * pi^31*...*pi^2*pi natively!

Guavanaut posted:Ternary computers exist, they were popular in the Soviet Union during the early days of computing. Usually they used balanced ternary, which is -1, 0, and 1, so if the circuits ran on 5 volts the states would be -5V, 0V, +5V. Right but his ternary (trinity) is 0, 1, and pi Could you imagine harnessing the power of pi for computing?

You suckers want to calculate the area of a circle you gotta warm up that FPU and you still only get an approximation. To calculate the area of a circle with radius 2 I just multiply 0100 (2) * 0100 (2) * 0010 (pi) and get exactly 010010 (4pi) and didn't even have to use the FPU.
