how hands-off are these latest CNC bots? i mean, do you hand it a 3d model and it will check all the angles and depths to see it can cut it with the tools available and then do the cut without intervention?

I once had this friend at Laguna Hills High School in Orange County where his dad was an exec at Broadcom (Henry Nicholas lived near by), and they had the technology to make USB drives 100 times faster and larger, but the company purposely decided to slowly release the product on the market to increase profits and probably continue this practice today. This is a true story. Thus, I decided to take the leap and expand on this story to include a conspiracy on Moore's law.  JawnV6 posted:so i can't really answer "running infinite loops in the cloud is hardcore" because it's not clear what that means. it could potentially describe a loop consuming an 'infinite' JSON structure, a polling loop, or even a finite-bounded loop that's going beyond some watchdog/timeout feature It is "finite-bounded loop that's going beyond some watchdog/timeout feature" the problem is that even though there are restrictions on time and bandwidth, by the time these restrictions stop the loop, the stuff being passed to the client side have already been executed by the loops thus freezing up everything.

Lecture is to present marketing strategies that position the company as a multinational mission to contribute to development of a whole society. The commercial presented shows how to transform the profile of an innovative company while inflating the ego of internal employees, motivating them with the mission to 'cooperate with humanity'.

You're gullible as hell, the usb standard is slow as h*ck, even if you had drives that were 100x faster it wouldn't make any difference

I never said anything about inventing anything, rather expanding on the technology. As far as I know, it may have been a USB-like memory stick that required an entirely different port. All I know is that there was something that was much better, but it was decided that they could milk the technology for an extended period of time rather than releasing better version. My conclusion is that this probably happens more frequently than realized by most. Speaking of which... when are these molecular computers going to be released?

As for everyone else, I don't care if you believe me, but it's the truth. My friend told me all kinds of stuff like the underground facilities that CEO was building under his house before the scandal reached public media. We thought it was an underground hockey rink though. Was this true? The sports bar was still a big portion of this endeavor, so it appears to be that way. Whoever is writing posts in attempts to discredit my source, I would not say it if it was some fairyland story. It would actually be more interesting if someone came out and said, "no Ian, that story is just half the truth. I worked for xyz at the time and this is what really went down".

My conclusion is that this probably happens more frequently than realized by most. your conclusion is based on nothing. your friend was garbling something he overheard, or making poo poo up to impress you, or you are garbling things you overheard, or are making poo poo up to impress us, or maybe all of the above "memory stick" equals nand flash memory packaged in a usb. the storage medium is literally the same poo poo that's in ssds, compactflashes, securedigitals, and so on, although usbs are made with the shittiest worst grade flash chips to cut costs, because who pays lots of money for a usb. (same goes for securedigitals) never in the history of nand flash has there been a viable technology which would have allowed suddenly multiplying capacity or performance by 100 without also multiplying prices by similar factors. not even back when flash memory density gains were still following moore's law. not even when the introduction of multi level cell technology gave moore the loving finger by permitting a one-time doubling (*) of capacity without so much as a process shrink * - not an actual doubling, error rates go way the gently caress up for mlc so you lose some of the capacity gain to error correction overhead quote:Speaking of which... when are these molecular computers going to be released? i wasn't aware that existing computrons were non molecular what i'm saying is take the meds ian

I am done with this forum. I have never taken meds and I am tired of hearing it every comment. If just one of you would have seriously backed statpedia with the amount of time spent criticizing people, it probably would have been enough to create snowballing success by now. It is time for me to spend my free time doing more productive things to make this happen. r.i.p. ian on SA forums.

Ian McLean posted:r.i.p. ian on SA forums. i told you, quite clearly i might add, exactly what you need to do i've told a shitload of new grads basically that same advice, and they never take it. everyone's convinced they can take shortcuts, that all this is secretly easy and the experts are colluding. believe it til you're blue in the face, experts are built through a long process. there's at least two tiers of engineers above me. i have a sick feeling calling myself 'senior' because i know i'm not. beyond that there's the old timers you can't sway with any dollar amount, that need an interesting problem and then they're totally on board and really, really want to talk about your problem. Ian McLean posted:If just one of you would have seriously backed statpedia with the amount of time spent criticizing people, it probably would have been enough to create snowballing success by now. i have a decade of consumer electronics experience. "kickstarter CEO" types seem to think we're still in college and ask me for help like you'd bug a buddy in college. then get all offended and balk when I quote them hours and rate. like i know it took you 5 minutes to answer the question, but for me to do the proper research and give you the professional quality answer you're asking for, it's going to take me 2~4 hours of my decade of experience. that's the smallest amount of time I can really spend on something and have it be meaningful, helpful, transferable knowledge. 1 hour is nothing, 1 hour is us meeting and going over relevant backgrounds, the best work I've done in that kind of time frame is gut check on next steps, "yes that arduino will let you prototype the mechanical side" blowing time on the internet trying to be funny in front of internet strangers doesn't drain me the way technical work does. those don't come from the same bucket up in my head. you don't get to point at all these words and demand i go fetch the other bucket and give you an equivalent amount from it.

sorry guys i'm still mad as gently caress about the Foodini quote:One of our goals is to streamline some of cooking's more repetitive activities - forming dough into fish-shaped crackers, or forming ravioli - to encourage more people to make fresh healthy foods. even on their own product demo they can't think of a use for it beyond needlessly cutting food into ~wacky dinosaurs~ (or just spent $8 and buy these http://bit.ly/1gXYQQ8)
