>>39554 I like your optimism, and cautiously share it
Is there an AI facial recognition system that can accurately and reliably distinguish between a Jew and a White person yet?
>>39560 Doesn't seem unlikely today (well at least in part -- so many intentional crypto-j*ws today ofc). AIs have already demonstrated superiority over human experts at spotting diseases from xray films & DNA sampling.
>>39565 "Robowaifu Robowaifu give me the news, I got a bad case of loving you!"
I'll be heading out for a week-long expedition up into the mountains today -- wish me luck, /robowaifu/ ! We'll have StarLink with us, so I'll likely still be able to sh*tepost with you here in the evenings a little. Just alert either our mods or the globals if anything strange is afoot. Be excellent to each other! :^) <cue: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure theme...>

>>39569 Have fun mate, be sure to enjoy the gifts of God. Hope you'll take notes, there's heaps to learn from nature! I'll be sure to keep the board safe while you're away!
>>39569 Have fun!
>>39565 I've heard of AI being able to accurately determine someone's age, sex and race from an x-ray around their sternum and collar bone. Going by face should be easy. When it comes to identifying them, the best method would probably to scrape wikipedia for any mention in Early Life, or any Jew category, and save their pictures build-up a big enough collection, and a bunch of Whites for contrast.

There are a number of posts in the AI images thread that consist of nothing but broken file links. Should I go ahead and delete them to conserve space, or are we still trying to restore those? EDIT: Actually, should I just delete any post I find that's nothing but a broken link? I won't waste time looking for every one, but there's also no point in heeping them around if the files won't be restored. >>39591 Glad to hear everything's going well.

>>39639 I've finally gotten started with investigating mycomaterials. Not sure that it will show anything immediately useful, but it is something to do and maybe learnings here could used elsewhere.
>>39639 We're doing well. I heard that Tor wasn't working, I don't know if it's fixed now
>>39641 No Tor Kaput. I'm using tor but linking to the open net. All my bookmarks are to the Tor site.
>>39175 Free energy devices exist, I've seen one working in real life, maybe more than one depending on how one defines free energy I'm the board owner of /hover/ and /server/ I've read a lot into free energy and how ufo's work and stuff like that You guys might not remember me, I was working on the Lapis robot. I still have the parts for it, I just shelved it at some point as I got busy with other things, but it can still be worked on.. the main issue with it was in making or getting actuators that were small and robust enough to fit it
>>39644 >Free energy devices exist, I've seen one working in real life, maybe more than one depending on how one defines free energy. I'm the board owner of /hover/ and /server/ I've read a lot into free energy and how ufo's work and stuff like that Wow, nice! Personally, I'm a believer in Free Energy, and I hate the reddit argument of "erm, free energy is impossible under thermodynamics" yeah no shit, we're not literally talking about energy from nothing, just energy from a different source that is abundant enough to be practically free. >I'm the board owner of /hover/ and /server/ Where can I find them? >Lapis robot Maybe try again with drone parts, and only animate specific parts? Now that we have AI, personality is no longer as dependent on movement as it once was. PS: I actually included the 3D render of Aoi Lapis on a robowaifu recruitment poster
>>39654 Yeah I think all the laws of physics can be bent/broken, except for the laws of creation (not sure if they count as physics exactly but yeah) >Where can I find them? /hover/ is still at 8kun.top (formerly 8chan) but its mostly dead as that site was ran into the ground /server/ is now on trashchan, each thread on it is its own theme, one of the threads on it is a dedicated /hover/ thread Yeah I saw the recruitment poster on a 4chan thread and noticed the Lapis and was kinda surprised to see it there Drone parts or not, the challenge is in small actuators..
>>39654 >I hate the reddit argument of "erm, free energy is impossible under thermodynamics" yeah no shit, we're not literally talking about energy from nothing, just energy from a different source that is abundant enough to be practically free. Solar Stirling engines and potentially Stirling radioisotope generators fall under this definition.
>>39655 >/hover/ is still at 8kun.top (formerly 8chan) but its mostly dead as that site was ran into the ground. /server/ is now on trashchan, each thread on it is its own theme, one of the threads on it is a dedicated /hover/ thread Thanks >Drone tech I was thinking maybe having 614 motors to move the arms up and down and rotate the head, and have the rest be posable like a doll, as a starting point. The rest of the body can be a bluetooth antenna, to be connected to a computer for control and voice.
>>39657 Exactly.
>>39658 Those motors are too big for the Lapis project I think The actuators need to be fairly tiny but strong for it to work Some birds are really small, so nature can do it, maybe we can do it more like nature does it..
>>39664 I couldn't find any standard motors tinier than that. To copy nature, you would need artificial muscles. Maybe nitinol wire? Keep in mind that if you want to mass produce/popularize your design, you shouldn't have too many exotic parts.
>>39644 >Free energy As in something from nothing? I've spent a decade in engineering/physics classes so, I can't say I believe in that, not without sufficient evidence. >>39654 >>39657 I do believe in free as in beer energy. Generating power using abundant ambient energy does have its place. Throwing some solar panels on a dress, or having her wheels recharge her as you pull her about, all can be useful. >>39658 >>39664 >>39666 Please move this conversation on fairy scale waifu actuation to this thread; >>27021
>>39641 >I heard that Tor wasn't working, I don't know if it's fixed now >>39643 Not it isn't working. I'm coming in through an exit node myself rn. >>39644 Good to see you again, Hik! >>39658 I'd be interested to find out what kind of actuators the Chinese are using for their purported 'Mayfly Drones'. >>39669 >As in something from nothing? I've spent a decade in engineering/physics classes so, I can't say I believe in that, not without sufficient evidence. TWO MOAR WEEKS!111 Cold fusion is just around the corner bro. :D >I do believe in free as in beer energy. Clever way to coin that, Kiwi. <---> Cheers, Anons. :^)
>>39673 >I'd be interested to find out what kind of actuators the Chinese are using for their purported 'Mayfly Drones'. A similar design uses piezoelectric elements I still think drone motors could work, just maybe scale Aoi Lapis up slightly.

Lapis is canonically 15cm tall, I prefer to be accurate to that. I also favor realism. I believe eventually it will be easier to make Lapis that way Solar panels become garbage after 30 - 50 years that is difficult to get rid of properly. Windmills are large and can ruin views of the landscape, also they are bad for birds and such. The device I've seen extracts double the energy using magnets and coils, compared to what is put in. It really works, you might not believe me but in the future, most if not all electronics will be powered by such generators and one never has to plug anything in because the power is generated inside the electronic device itself.
>>39706 To be fair the newer solar panels can be recycled more easily and a lot more birds die to skyscrapers than to wind farms and the wind mills can just have one blade painted black and be fitted with ultrasound generators to reduce the bird deaths.
>>39706 >Solar panels become garbage after 30 - 50 years When ever I hear this I always think, well it's just sand. A small amount of tin maybe boron, nothing super dangerous and I also think about the real peril. It's not plastics or used solar panels. It's ROCKS! These damn things are everywhere. They fall on the roads, on peoples houses. If you've ever stubbed your toe on a rock you know how dangerous these things can be. People have been killed, dead, with rocks. And they not only are everywhere they last millions of years. I have no idea how we are going to manage to get rid of all these damn rocks.
>>39729 >These damn things are everywhere. LOL. Why aren't moar libsh*tes reeing that God """polluted""" the Earth with all this geology!111 :D
>>39769 With all due respect, I do believe my post was related to Organizations and Logistics. "IRL Robowaifu" is like a writing prompt. Each writer has his own interpretations, focuses, and goals. And if you're going to have a warehouse full of writers in the Cayman Islands, you're going to need to make sure they're on the same page. If we cannot even decide on how the damn thing will move, then we are already lost. All I was trying to get at, and I believe Grommet too, is that a muscle-based robowaifu would be a good place to start, since it is an example of a problem would require a warehouse full of engineers with funding, and thus justify the costs and effort. And I was also bringing up the arguments against it, so we can see what the best idea is for our robowaifu engineer beach house. Better to decide it here, I say. Like I said, robotics is a huge field, and "robot, but female" hardly narrows it down. Look at all the diverse designs from different people here, focusing on different things. I focused partially on cost and ease of construction, SophieDev focused on articulation, Hik focused on flight. The Nandroid guy focused on building an accurate Nandroid. Now imagine we're all in a warehouse, and we have to decide on one output. There's a reason "design by committee" is an engineering slur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_committee "Design by committee is a pejorative term for a project that has many designers involved but no unifying plan or vision."
>>39773 >If we cannot even decide on how the damn thing will move, then we are already lost. Great, then let us hash out those details in, say, the R&D thread until we arrive at a proper solution. Please do not intentionally derail our important thread just to make a debate point. I've already explained in detail what I consider on-topic in that thread. Expect me to be ruthless with my pursuit of those topics in that thread to the exclusion of others -- whether it be with my own posts or anyone's other! <---> I've generally been quite lax about keeping threads on-topic (even though that's a quite-important need on the singularly-unique board /robowaifu/ ). Please don't expect that in the Business & Legal thread! Cheers. :^)
Edited last time by Chobitsu on 07/05/2025 (Sat) 10:32:15.
>>39774 Okay, fair, I'll hash it out with Grommet in the R/D thread, but eventually the "winner's" tech will have to be factored into the "Robowaifu v1" blueprint, where then we figure out what we need to acquire and research in Black Mesa: Robowaifu Division. The last thing I would want is the first robowaifu to be designed by committee.
>>39773 It is true that I'm interested in hovercraft and unconventional flight, but my robo Lapis project is more about miniaturization If we all collaborated on one big project, then my contribution could be towards smaller things and life like things perhaps
>>39775 T/y. :^) >The last thing I would want is the first robowaifu to be designed by committee. This. Let us found our own opensauce Skunkworks for Robowaifus! (SWFRW) Is that even safe for work, I just wonder? :D >"Never let a little resonance cascade interfere with your plans. Keep.moving.forward." >-t. Gordon 'Chobitsu' Freeman

>>39784 >If we all collaborated on one big project, then my contribution could be towards smaller things and life like things perhaps Neat! Thanks Hik, miniaturization is obviously an exceptionally-important topic to us all here on /robowaifu/ -- regardless the size of the waifu! Cheers. :^)

>>39820 Thankfully it's just failed sound, so modern knowledge should be enough to fix that. If the display itself failed, I'd be clueless. Fixing CRT displays requires specialized knowledge and tools that almost nobody has access to anymore. I collect portable models, and I even have broadcasting equipment and converters that let me "stream" from my computer over VHF and UHF, and I dread the day the tubes or seals fail. ... I think I'll get that setup running again. It's been a while.
