Mini Cheetah Clone Teardown

Not long after my masters thesis went online, clones of the mini cheetah actuators started showing up on AliExpress/Alibaba.  Within another

I don’t really have a point, other than this wheeled robot took 45min to bring me pizza and beer 1km because it can’t step off a kerb. It waits for orders where the cops hang out near the store

the year is 2045. municipal killbots roam the streets. they're all basically bomb disposal robots with explosives strapped on them, same as they are now. people have developed ancient aliens tartaria type conspiracy theories about the boston dynamics dogbots. like,

"look how advanced these things were, do you really believe these people could do things like that when right now we only have these mini tanks that look like they could have been made 100 years ago"

I interpret this as sound that produces a mix of Fission and disassociation

Karen Barad’s agential realism?

the primary ontological units are not "things" but phenomena - dynamic topological reconfigurings/entanglements/relationalities/(re)ar­ticulations of the world. And the primary semantic units are not "words" but material-discursive practices through which (ontic and semantic) boundaries are constituted. This dynamism is agency. Agency is not an attribute but the ongoing reconfigurings ofthe world. The universe is agential intra-activity in its becoming. - Meeting the Universe Halfway

I’m struggling with it! The parts I’m familiar with (undergrad physics, contemporary scientific funding) are deployed… unartfully? But to ends (agental realism , and a theory of scientific ethics that’s very freeing) that I find comforting, so

Exceptional quotes throughout as well; this experimental apparatus familiar to anyone with ug physics has been modified with the critical element - a sulphurous cheap cigar that “developed” the silver ions like a photo, by accident! THe results relevance to understanding of physics is acausal; we have a understanding now where that this is the discovery of electron spin, but this is the result of many iterations of the measurement and reaction and discursive practice loop

Also, brain is computer is silly. Are there any ways they could be substituted for each other? As that’s the only definition given to X is Y in CS; given a apparatus is it possible to distinguish a X or Y; if no, same thing relative to the apparatus (+discursive practice in which apparatus is embedded)

"the brain is a computer that receives, interprets, and predicts "sense data" (whatever that is) and then calculates appropriate thoughts, actions, and responses" 🙄🙄🙄

yeah and a river is a computer that receives and interprets "indirect upstream data", manipulates that data using whorls and eddies, and then calculates the appropriate outgoing flow pattern.

your nutsack and cock are a cOmPuTeR that receive and interpret what i like to call "indirect mastubation data", and manipulates that data to calculate and return the appropriate "cum response".

the brain is only a computer in so far as any physical system is a computer. and it's a fucking stupid compsci major ass way of looking at the world that makes very little sense
