To the person who broke into my car and stole all my robotics kits, I hope you put them to good use and see you at pi wars!. Oh what's that? You thought it was Makita? And now you've realised it's just raspberry pis and wires it's going in the bin? 😖😖😖

I graduated after an integrated masters in mechanical engineering with ~£75k student loan. That's about £5k/year in interest . Which means that to stay on top of interest payments according to the 9% over £27k threshold, I needed to graduate on a salary of £85k 🙃.
In 2021 I owed £61,586 on all my student loans. I am pleased to announce that 3 years later in 2024 I have managed to get that number down to. £61,757. Yes, after paying £300 out of my salary every month I now owe the @SLC_Repayment £200 more than I did 3 years ago.

State of this. Genuinely one of my key reasons for my disillusion of AI is the Weirdness of all the tech bros who plug it. Like this is an interesting thread and amazing tech, but in the prompt "nice body type"? Really?. Like this isn't a guy I want to hang out with ahaha.
The prompt is a bit long, so I've put it in the ALT text of the images. PRO (left) - Schnell (Right)

Not sure what poor Ed Davey did to earn the undivided vitriol of Count Binface relative to the other two. .
Ed Davey at the helm, plummeting down a steep yellow slide. Say no more.

Does anyone know where I can find a digital copy of the Pi Wars programme ?. I reckon @PiWarsRobotics @recantha is my best bet!?.

THEY DID SURGERY ON A CORN.
Microsurgery assistance robot stitching a corn kernel. Sony has developed this robot utilizing a microscope and a highly sensitive control device to track surgeons' hand movements and perform delicate operations on small tissues like veins and nerves.

However it's not all ideal, it did at one point boldly claim that a motor controller rated at 1.2A could safely control a motor that stalls at 1.5A. Interestingly, for the given motor controller it's not technically wrong, but in it's output it only talked about the 1.2A rated C.

And when I pointed this out it then decided it was going to do a comparison between left and right sensors to inform it's decision. Finally! . Impressive all the same but I feel that it's a good starter for ten, but iterative tweaks would be faster done by hand rather than prods!.

"won't this mean the robot will hit anything directly in front of it?". "Yes it will". ". okay. so fix it!?". And off it went again, this time deciding on an "always turn right" algorithm . Which would send it back on itself at the first left turn.

* technically I'm using copilot. I pointed it at the escape route challenge first and it decided to use ultrasonic sensors (nice) but only two of them on the left and right side and produced some nice code. But it completely missed that this will crash into any wall dead ahead.

Been messing with chatGPT to see how it would go about a pi wars design. It's got a lot better than last time I used it but still does some * interesting* things. It largely corrects itself when prompted to, but really feel I have to hand hold it. Why can't it do that initially!?.
