Robowaifu Systems Engineering Robowaifu Technician 09/11/2019 (Wed) 01:19:46 No.98 [Reply]
Creating a functional Robowaifu is a yuge Systems Engineering problem. It is arguably the single most complex technical engineering project in history bar none, IMO. But don't be daunted by he scale of the problem anon (and you will be if you actually think deeply about it for long, hehe), nor discouraged. Like every other major technical advance, it's a progressive process. A little here, a little there. In the words of Sir Isaac Newton, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Progress in things like this happen not primarily by leaps of genius--though ofc that also occurs--but rather chiefly comes by incremental steps towards the objective. If there's anything I'm beginning to recognize in life it's that the key to success lies mainly in one unwavering agenda for your goals: Just don't quit. >tl;dr Post SE and Integration resources ITT. www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nasa_systems_engineering_handbook.pdf https://www.nasa.gov/reference/systems-engineering-handbook/ https://www.nasa.gov/reference/system-engineering-handbook-appendix/ >=== -patch dead hotlink

>>11904 >technical debt >sculpting I tried to do everything in CAD, but it has limits. I never thought sculpting parts should be avoided completely, only minimized as much as possible. Either way, there aren't many users here which are trying out stuff and posting it in the first place. The more parts we have we can work with, the better. >Python bashing, once again Code can be replaced piece by piece and called by the rest of the codebase. We won't have gigabytes of Python code anyways, I think. That aside, we will need to integrate as many programs from other people as possible, in all kinds of languages. Trying to write everything from the scratch in C or C++ would be some delusional attempt, so frustrating that the few people which are even trying now, would drop out, since there would be no hope of ever archiving anything in some reasonable amount of time.
>>11917 You seem quite antagonistic to my basic claims, so I'll put them all aside for the moment (my real-world experiences notwithstanding). In a more general sense then, can you offer any advice on my specific desired outcome through this conversation then, Anon? Namely; >how we can both take advantage of technical debt, and also remediate it ('pay it back') in our works too.
Just storing this here as a sober warning against mediocrity [1], when devising exceptionally-complex systems such as capable & pleasing robowaifus; they must operate continuously, safely & reliably in the near-presence of their Masters and other humans -- but component failures are inevitable. To wit: Failure of individual subsystem(s) in such a highly-interconnected system can rapidly cascade in unforeseen ways; the outcome of which may become catastrophic. <---> >"...To understand why, one must understand the concept of a “normal accident.” In 1984, Charles Perrow, a Yale sociologist, published the book, Normal Accidents: Living With High-Risk Technologies. In this book, Perrow lays out the theory of normal accidents: when you have systems that are both complex and tightly coupled, catastrophic failures are unavoidable and cannot simply be designed around. In this context, a complex system is one that has many components that all need to interact in a specified way to produce the desired outcome. Complex systems often have relationships that are nonlinear and contain feedback loops. Tightly-coupled systems are those whose components need to move together precisely or in a precise sequence." >( related : >>4631 ) --- 1. https://www.palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis/ >=== -sp, fmt, prose edit -add crosslink

>>30050 Yeah that sounds right, Anon. My chief concern in this regard for us anons here (and indeed for all men purchasing future robowaifu kits/builds) is that nefarious, greedy GH-esque types will seek to exploit the technological nature of robowaifus, and use that to blackmail you into sending them further sheqels or face your beloved waifu getting bricked. And that's not even digging into all the other potential evils such entities would very-clearly also attempt regarding violating men's privacy, manipulating them with pozz-propaganda, etc. And honestly these kinds of abuses can only really continue to occur because so many normalcattle are entirely complacent regarding (indeed, complicit with) their own abuse by these evildoers. >tl;dr Stop the Madness.

Do you hear that, anons? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of robopony gfs. I present to you: Carriage Return I sit at the desk in my cluttered bedroom, staring at my typewriter as I feel the weight of oblivion weighing down on my mind. Nothing more than a modest hiss can be heard, as I attempt to stimulate my brain into continuing its productivity. But alas, the result is the same. A cloud that is as empty now as it is full when inspiration strikes. Adjusting my headphones, I decide that my current playlist just isn't getting me into the flow. I'm feeling a bit grungey right now, that may do the trick. As I lean over to my dektop keyboard to mess around in my music folder, a sound from outside the cacophonous echo chamber of empty thoughts hits me. The door to my bedroom creaks as a feminine snout peeks through, clad in precision-cut mahogany synthetic fur. "Still stuck, honey?" Inky's demure voice cuts in, her olive eyes boring into my own.

These are some very impressive works by several Anons ITT over the past few months. You guys never cease to amaze me!! Cheers. :^)
Time for more pone stories because I can't ever seem to settle on how to proceed with making an actual robowaifu. My current idea involves shaving off over two-thirds of the projected weight and using a single drive motor. This actually the first robopony story I started ages ago, which I finally got around to revising upon getting some inspiration. I also have the next installment of Dumpster Angel in the works, but it'll take a while since I revised the plan and decided to make it much longer. So, do look forward to that if you liked the original. As always, notes and critiques are appreciated. Now then, I present to you: --- A Star in my Eye (part.1) Only the soft crunch of snow and the faint whirring of motors can be heard as Lily and I walk across a starlit, empty field. It's a location I had discovered mere minutes ago, deciding it's as good a place as any to stretch my legs before continuing our long drive to the coast. Despite the lack of any moonlight, the pristine blanket of snow reflects enough of the starlight to cast everything in an otherly glow. The field itself is almost pristinely flat, with hardly any plant life sticking out, and the nearest trees are over a mile away.

A Star in my Eye (part.2) Lily brushes out the snow stuck to her mane, the her mane shimmering as the glittering ice gently falls around her. "You've only looked at the sky once this entire time," she deadpans, an ear flicking in annoyance. "It's pretty hard to focus on the dimmer stars when there's such a bright one next to me," I return with a smirk. I place a hand on my chin as the angelic pone closes her eyes and sighs so softly it can barely be heard -not really though, because breathing is for thots-. It's not like I'm being willfully oblivious here. I don't have much winter protection beyond the coat, and each new blast of wind just makes everything colder. But I am a man of scenery, and I want to see how each scene serves to enhance my wife's beauty. In fact, that's half the reason I actually decided to go to the coast. While I do have family out there, they're not in trouble or anything, and I can always call them as I have been. I can't, however, truly know for sure how Lily looks while walking an empty winter beach until I see it with my own two eyes and at each hour of the day and night. Especially around sunrise and sunset. Why I'd even say tha- "Aren't you forgetting something?" Lily asks just as sharply as the hoof that poked my stomach.

This paper extends previous work on zero-shot cross-lingual transfer learning by fine-tuning a multilingually pretrained wav2vec 2.0 model to transcribe unseen languages. This is done by mapping phonemes of the training languages to the target language using articulatory features.

I hope to have useful links and images in the future, this is just a quickly thrown together glorified character sheet maker at this point. Ok so you can program, but HOW to make her thoughts work? At least on a creative level. I don't have much to contribute other than my rather obsessive what-ifs, I hope this is useful somehow. A few questions you might want to ask yourself before typing up some kind of bio or writing down conversations and quotes you imagine she would say are... 1. How close to the canon do I want to be? 2. How much canon is there? 3. How would I want to make her mine vs someone else's interpretation of the same character? Take note of those answers, if your memory sucks record them in a method you are comfortable with. I think typing might be faster for most. And you might want to revisit what you wrote here sometimes when making certain personality design choices. Use your answers here as a basic guide. For the most part, just go through writer's sites for character questionnaires. And before you omit a question, think of how could you use the basics of what it is asking to build your waifu's personality? For example, if a question rubs you off the wrong way politically, still use that question. But answer in your own way or even reword the question. Some of these types of questions are supposed to make you think hard about what shaped your character's dislikes, which is still important to what makes a person themselves. You may need to revisit some of these or even omit certain ones entirely. But try to figure out how to get that info in somehow later. This process can take a long time and be frustrating, but I think it has a place in the waifubot creation experience. Also, try think how would your waifu react if the story went differently at some point. This can get really dramatic real easy, but it doesn't have to. Just start with simple things like what would she say if asked to tell a joke? What does she find funny? What does she find cringey? Things like that, and don't be afraid to make what they call a 'brain dump'. Pretty much just type with minimal breaks and type everything that comes to your mind about the topic. You might get some useful info amongst the 'why am I doing this?' 'I need to take a shit' quotes. Also just use some of those story prompts. Also, try to use the more realistic day to day ones, like things that could happen in real life. Less exciting but pretty sure you aren't going on fantasy journeys with her IRL. Using these types of prompts will give her more to say on mundane everyday things, vs Skyrim politics. (But that could be fun sometimes)

>>31691 >>>physiognomy should be taken seriously because it used to be >physiognomy should be taken seriously because it used to be This here is like a tavern, not a club where everyone thinks exactly the same. I know, that the current state of science seems to be that physiognomy is BS. Though, I also don't have time or interest to look into such unrelated topics in detail. I don't know why this is even here. I brought up psychology and personality traits, as a useful tool for configuring a freshly build robowaifu AI. Also, because it would be great to have a way for her to internally represent people. Over time she could just forget details about a person, but she could just keep that element and remember that person vaguely without storing any specific details. This here >>30862 is the relevant topic. In theory, people could think about how to implement that and work on it as one specific problem that can be solved with some module. Instead of just allegedly working on their completely separate and complete implementation of "AGI". But I will most likely have to do it on my own with the help of ChatGPT or something similar. >not that you could figure anything out and actually accomplish anything anyway Yeah, well. Don't bother us then. We will find the information we need and will accomplish what we want to. I'm of course not the only one who had the idea that connecting LLMs with software might be the way to go. I only saw AI researchers are now going this route, since the scaling paradigm might slow down. So, if we don't do it, then others will guide us half the way.
>>31731 Twitter's business model like most website based tech companies was always advertising revenue. If they lose advertisers they lose revenue. A company who's entire business is selling a product of identifying people as so it claimed would be criminals by AI facial analysis would not sabotage it's only way of making money. Yes, the iron thing is one theory but it also has to do with women having smaller body mass which would reduce cancer rates and they also have stronger immune systems because of hormonal differences among a few other reasons they probably live longer in most cases. That's beside the point, read into how George Washington died. He was ill and he demanded more and more blood removed from him and he grew weaker and weaker as result. I was suggesting how physiognomy was just a result of confirmation bias and limitations in medical equipment at the time later replaced with brain scans. It only existed because brain scans did not exist at the time and it was just guess work at brain formation on the assumption the skull would give the information which was often quite off since there is only so much from that. You're either shifting goalposts on the definition of race away from it's common usage or just know nothing of genetics and are too stubborn to learn anything. It is a completely off topic matter which has nothing to do with psychology of a robowaifu, but if you really want to put some sort of face reading judgment program if it worked that will only work against you and you would spend money on a robowaifu just for her to reject you.
>>31751 >Twitter's business model like most website based tech companies was always advertising revenue No twitters business model was getting money from the CIA and other government agencies. If capitalism is running these companies tell me why Disney is blowing their profits out their ass with wokeism? Why are the comic book industry faggatising Superheros and going broke? You know the answer, or should, so don't try to tell me a huge pile of nonsense is data, when it's only the remains of a dog squatting. >either shifting goalposts on the definition of race Let's get this clear. You're not fooling me a bit. I say that genetics, race and physiognomy are valid methods to statistically predict behavioral traits of different populations. And don't give me this,"well this individual this, and that", you know this is not what I speak of. You, well you talk about bleeding George Washington. I know very well what you are trying to do. Poison the well by destroying the flow of the conversation and spinning off subjects that are not relevant to cloud the case. You also spout nonsense. Like,"...I was suggesting how physiognomy was just a result of confirmation bias..."

>>31689 That's actually why I mentioned the Genetics part, for self-repair and the ability to self-replicate. If a robot has all the technical knowledge of what's needed to repair and replace every component of it's own body, and has the dexterity needed to work all the tools needed to do so, they can multiply near exponentially like grey goo only limited by the time, energy and materials available to do it. The materials and tools are the biggest hurdles right now, since I've seen videos on YouTube of people making IC chips at home with lithography tools, they don't compare to processors commercially available right now. And maybe in 15 to 30 years from now a high-end desktop computer will be able to run an AGI as powerful as a human brain, while a homemade processor will still be behind. But at that point where the AI can both replace human labor and the work that goes into developing the hardware the AI runs on, and developing the tools needed to make that hardware, the difference between a component made in a factory and one made in a home lab will narrow so rapidly it will quickly become insignificant. I give it 80 years before we could have Star Trek-style replicators, interplanetary teleportation & just about any other technology you could want. My overly long-winded point is that good AGI and a more economical power source will probably make the idea of a robot factory redundant so quickly that the milkman as a concept would have been around for longer.
>>31766 Yeah that's pretty fascinating idea, Anon. IIRC there was a scene where Arisa was self-healing her skin in the Russian TV show Better than Us. We've much to discover in the entire domain of robowaifu materials science, I'll warrant Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>31683 You have to scroll down and around. What they are doing is the page you land on for the A1-mini has the package deal of the A1-mini + a four color printing optional accessory. They have a retarded number of scripts on the page and you have to scroll around to find the $200 A1-mini alone. Maybe this link will work, https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini?variant=41513493627016 The extra colors are not a bad deal at all. In fact a huge bargain. I could see having an additional color being an asset. Especially if you use one color for base and then a water soluble filament to make voids. One use for the multi-color is to to print spots with the .2 mm nozzle. So you print a translucent white but below. or next to, print various shades of red or pink. Like magazine printing from a distance you have a mixing of the colors to make shades. So with a white, black or brown, red or pink, maybe a yellow for Asians you could have realistic skin tones. If you can at all afford it I would recommend the multi-color kit, even if you see no use for it immediately. I read they were difficult to acquire if you don't get them together. But you can get around with just one color. My sweet spot for buying these is $200, maybe $250. Look at this video from a long time 3D printer user on the Bambu A1-mini who has used all sorts of printers. It's good and look at the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBQ-QfcY3Qs I've been also looking at resin printers. I don't know how good these are. Brief reviews seem to be ok. The specs though are extraordinary. Here's a list I made. Egloo Saturn 2-4K

I can't help but wonder if you couldn't make a .1 mm or .05 mm nozzle, maybe even smaller, and slowly, ever so slowly print with the Bambu to get super accurate prints? I see no "physical" reason this could not be done. I don;t know what the ultimate stepper resolution is. I suspect it's high at low speeds as the stepper uses difference wave forms to create partial steps, I think. I know this can be done. Bambu, according to users, appears to be responsive to customer request and supposedly has so far been constantly updating their older printers software. I think it could be a great selling point to have this super resolution mode as an option. Maybe charge more for nozzles.

It seems someone is working on a consumer grade SLS printer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ6DYJtn7Bw It seems interesting, but at it's current backer price of ~$3700 USD I don't know if it's exactly worth it. The machinability of printed parts is what catches my eye the most.
>>31805 >consumer grade SLS printer. That would be wonderful. Thanks for the update, Anon! Cheers.
