>>17449 Thanks, maybe I'll learn to draw on the computer someday (I made this jupiter with a drawing pad a while back but, pencil to paper just feels more natural) Also helps to get the idea across quickly I used to be pretty good with Aldus Freehand back in the day but that was bought out by Adobe and I just hate the Illustrator Interface

I really feel this is one of the best, most simple joint mechanisms I've ever, ever seen. It's like human joints but in this case 3D printed. It's so simple I wonder I hadn't seen or thought of it myself. I feel like a fool for missing it. "Alternative to bearings for tiny robots" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQiLLcumqDw This is incredibly good. I expect with some thinking you could make it move in two dimensions as that's what human joints knees do. It's so simple I'm terribly embarrassed for not seeing something like it. Has anyone else thought of this or am I the only one so foolish as to not see it as an obvious solution? It's an awful lot like this rope hinge I saved a drawing of but for some reason never equated it to robot joints.

Here's a book recommended by others on mechanical design constraints for accuracy and rigidity. Exact Constraint_ Machine Design Using Kinematic Processing (1999, ASME Press) - Douglass L. Blanding There's several links. At any one time many might not work so you just have to try them. https://libgen.gs/edition.php?id=138587005 A hackaday article on the subject https://hackaday.com/2019/09/11/books-you-should-read-exact-constraint-machine-design-using-kinematic-principles/

>>17473 Maybe this would work for you. Search "Wireless Optical Pocket Pen Mouse". Apparently they work on most surfaces. You don't need a tablet. I have one of these I got real cheap and haven't used it yet, I need to. I was thinking of drawing on my chest or stomach in a drawing program. Since it also works as a mouse it would be easy. Also I think people can very accurately move stuff around on their bodies so it would be natural. A lot easier than being forced into one position on a drawing tablet or hunching over a screen.

>>39724 That's really nice. I had thought about something like the rudder joint for knees or elbows before, but assumed it would not work well under compressive loads and would wear out quickly. A real skeletal joint is cushioned and lubricated with synovial fluid which prevents the surfaces from wearing too quickly and provides shock absorption. I'm curious how this would hold up. The design from the video might be better off not using a braided fishing line. I imagine it would start cutting into the channels in the printed joint pretty quickly.

>>30783 Now it's my turn to be sorry. I've been spread a bit thin lately, but here I am. >Mind discussing that one a bit, Anon? I oppose artificial wombs for the same reasons that I oppose homosexual adoption and transgenderism. It's an affront to nature. Viable artificial wombs would be immediately followed by implanting said womb into some vile sodomite so that he could satisfy his perversions by squeezing some poor child out of his mutilated ass. It's abhorrent. I'm rather reverent of nature, and I feel that procreation is one of the areas where we shouldn't "play god" unnecessarily. If we are at a point where a companion robot would be capable of performing as a parent and caregiver, and I expect that to be the case in the future, then those who wish to be parents should adopt. This is to speak nothing of the metaphysical implications of parentage, but that's a more philosophical discussion than one about robots.

>>31259 >It's an affront to nature. Having children matters. No matter what and how, if necessary. >implanting said womb You've got the wrong idea. This is completely outside of the scope. These artificial wombs refer to things outside of the human body. They would have to do insurmountable extra work to put it into a human body, I assume. That said, it not relevant and will be even less relevant in the future, since the people who are transgender won't have (many) children. The ideologues around this procreate through spreading their manipulative thoughts into new confused minds. Having fewer women in a society and making women less important will be very useful, and artificial wombs are important for that.

>>31259 Don't worry anon (at least for now), currently "artificial wombs" are growing sheeps in ziploc baggies.

>>39705 Hello again, Толкач. If you're comfortable sharing more of your story with us all here, it might help Anons to better understand the potential for guidance, help & assistance you can suggest or possibly even offer within our new Business & Legal thread : ( >>39717 ). I'd personally suggest turning on the 'Ted Talk' ITT (we're generally a pretty bright bunch here, I'd deem; most of us are pretty seasoned Anons as well). However, just as you yourself see fit.

Would a robot waifu spoil your artificially womb-grown son? Would it be necessary for your son to experience true adversity and have to purchase thier own waifu bot to gain the understanding that the world doesn't care for him to truly appreciate a robot waifus' love? I'm looking into a future where young men don't have to be self concious because they lack traits that traditionally allow them to find a human partner. That prospect, while real to us, may be alien to future generations of men who never had to overcome that adversity.

>>38047 Have them work customer service for a year as a right of passage, that'll knock the rose-tinted glasses off real quick.

>>38048 I've been discussing the topic at length with GPT to see if I can ground my thoughts on the matter. Instead, I've just ventured down a philisophical rabbit hole. The general sentiment of the AI (one that I share) is that adversity for adversity's sake isn't necessarily beneficial. I'm not better than the boomers that came before me that insist If I'm not "working hard", I'm a failure. While there can be value from labor, labor, unto itself, does not have an inherent value outside that which we assign (an arbitrary metric). GPT gave me this slop for your response- "Fair point. There’s value in learning that the world doesn’t revolve around you. But if we’re just tossing people into the grinder and calling it ‘growth,’ we’re not forging character—we’re just toughening hides. Growth requires not just adversity, but reflection, community, and space to process it." A point I'd argued with GPT regarding my skepticism of assigning a bot to a child during their development was thus- "While there will be plenty of guardrails, I can see humanoid bots being the "universal distraction" for the lazy parent, not having the patience to attend to a child and assigning the bot to the child the same way modern humans hand off tablets to their toddlers."

Wrong thread, Anons (let's try >>106, or even /meta). This topic has zero to do with generating/sharing AI art.

>>39142 Lol. I don't recall seeing that one! :D

>>39139 The cheaper tubes might use a poorer quality epoxy. There are no also listed msi ratings, so they are probably a made with a week low modulus fiber. The orientation and alternation of the wraps would also be a factor. The Amazon ones look to be made from tube a of loose twill weave. The three McMaster Car options have different materials. One has all the fibbers running in a single direction, one with a tighter weave, and the last has crisscrossed alternating wraps with a much high modulus fiber. >>39142 >>39143 Curse you merciful Poseidon!

>>39145 Their pictures are terrible, but the last McMaster Car's last option is probably similar in construction to a fancy fishing rod blank. The first option probably would be a bad choice as its outer layer could potentially splinter into sharp needle-like fragments.

>>39146 This is a good point. And thanks for the reminder! I'll plan to use a safety box around when doing the skellington failure tests! Cheers. :^)

There's a book on I2P, which is an encrypted torrent and encrypted internet called Murachs-android-programming-training-and-reference.pdf Here's the magnet file. Which will do you no good unless you have I2P but the book may be available elsewhere. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d3c9230976fd5b63c985288f9a2ce0a320e2d604&dn=Murach%27s+Android+Programming+-+Training+And+Reference&tr=http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php BTW Clarkson's farm is on there too.

>>35976 I wonder, is it possible to make a Appimage(Linux) https://appimage.org/ or 0install( Linux, Windows and macOS) https://0install.net/ download program for Linux? These have all the files needed to run whatever program installed all in one place. No additional installations needed.

I found this book while looking on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Build-Large-Language-Model-Scratch/dp/1633437167/

>>38837 I've bought numerous books from that imprint. Think you'll pursue this sometime, Anon?

>>38848 Yeah, it's definitely a good route for the future.

>>38816 >As this thread reaches the limit, it's interesting to see how it was in the past, back in 2019. Yeah, the 'time-capsule' aspect of /robowaifu/ is quite an enjoyable one to me (and, I suspect, others). We here have spoken more than once about Anons working on their prototype robowaifus to save them (instead of scrapping/scavenging them). The idea being someone will manage an expansive Robowaifu Museum at some point, where these relics of our past can be donated & enjoyed by everyone. >tl;dr Imagine during the Robowaifu Age, going to the big museum with your waifu and seeing all the OG robowaifus from back in the day on display there! :^) And ofc playing the arcade games there together!111 :DD <insert: my_robot_gf_maymay.jpg> <---> Looks like we need a new bread Anons (Please make it a good OP, thanks! :D

>>38821 I deleted my github since it was shitty code. There's a built in gradio app for a F5-TTS chatbot now. Might make another some day if it's something useful.

The description looks AI generated and he says a lot of the modules are untested. Still, better than nothing

I think that should be most of the information to get you all up to speed on. The software is being worked on right now to allow for a character card and a persona, and I have written a rough draft of a new jailbreak for the AI. Using AI in this way will require a different preset than anything used before for just writing roleplay and I believe my approach might work. Outside of that, my biggest area of concern is the 3D-printed cover: Ideally like a clamshell that design where two halves snap together and adhere to the skeleton with friction. Like a body, separate legs, separate head thing. Maybe some cutouts where parts don't fit inside of it would be the best option to keep an accurate of a silhouette as possible. The main thing is that there's a lot of wasted space. The circuitry is placed on top of the back when there is room underneath where the battery is. The other option is the one that would probably destroy this but it is about the size of a plushie. Some sort of fabric option, like empty a plushie of its stuffing and try to wrap it over this, but then the joints will tear up the fabric. So, seeing as the fabric option isn't realistic, the 3D route is the way to go. At the moment to make this as simple and as easy as possible we'll want to have the cover accommodate the current design and work around whatever limitations it has, maybe in a future update we'll rearrange the components to increase its accuracy but we want to play it safe for the first generation. Current to-do list: 1. Need to find a good 3D pony model to use to develop the case that is as close to the current proportions as possible (especially in the head department)* 2. Need to find an actual 3D designer 3. Need to have it 3D printed and sent to me I would also look into good STT or TTS solutions with better latency than what OpenAI has at the moment, but that's a lower-priority quality of life feature as this is technically usable at the moment. I would look into it myself and figure out what the best model would be, local or corporate, but my focus is too occupied at the moment. If someone else might be able to refer me to something that would be very helpful. Note that anything local should be assumed not to run on the Pidog itself but on a local network computer that will stream to/from the Pidog. *For all the reasons I have mentioned before and seen in my previous posts. Also, I checked out what the Sweetie Bot Project had for their design and I'll link it here as it may be useful. https://kemono.su/patreon/user/2596792/post/18925754 https://kemono.su/patreon/user/2596792/post/20271994 https://kemono.su/patreon/user/2596792/post/22389565

>>38583 >The problem with our own exchange is that we will still need to exchange actual USD (or any other official currency) for SumonoCoin through digital means somehow, and the only way to do online transactions/transfers (afaik) is through """Payment Processors""" Yes, you're right. Thus the primary reason I suggest a secured-trust institution. It becomes our own payment processor. * It has the weakness (just like all the rest of them) of relying on the kike's fiat system for exchange at the 2nd-level, but at least we'd still have other options under our control ("offshore", BRICS, etc.) that you wouldn't have with other (((payment processors))). --- As usual, I'm hoping that the baste Chinese will manage all this in our steads. Just like all the rest, I hardly care what Dr. Lee or Mr. Wong think about the fact Anons are all buying & selling robowaifus with one another. (That only becomes an issue for us collectively here in the kiked-up (((w*st))).) As long as the Changs don't actually touch our physical stuff **, then them clearing CryptoCoin payments for us is hardly an issue, AFAICT. And the primary benefit with the Chinese for us is them not 'cancelling' us b/c (((reasons))) -- as would almost-certainly eventually happen within the so-called 14-eyes' domains during Current Year. <---> >...(see the guy who bought two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoin) That poor SOB. :/ --- * And of course it can accept our own digital coin (as well as (((credit/debit cards))), checks, cash, &tc.)

>>38585 >So basically a manual offshore version of the point system on manga buying websites? LOL >>> BUY YOUR OWN ROBOWAIFU -- NOW WITH CHIICOIN !! <<< * < * "A manual, offshore version of the 'point system' used on manga-buying websites." <---> Heh yes probably something similar, Anon. (And in-effect: just like every other crypto exchange as well, BTW! :D The big difference being realworld robowaifus are being exchanged-for, rather than realworld mangos. And also: shipping out anonymously to Anons in our case (at least insofar as the buyers & sellers are concerned [eg; with anonymized-forwarding options, the sellers won't know the buyer's shipping addresses]). Cheers. :^)

>>38586 And discreet packaging!

>>38588 Yes, we could also offer parts-orders/repacking/packing-consolidation for buyers. This could help both buyers & sellers with improved anonymity, as well as better privacy for the buyers. Good thinking, GreerTech. :^)
