Are we all failing a Turing test?
Thanks for that - made the end of a rubbish Monday sooo much better than the rest of the day!  :-DD

No, but we'll get a contact high if we stick around too long...

It *is* enough to make me wonder if Mr. Varmit is the illegitimate child of Max Headroom and a Markov chatbot.

I'm afraid is not a computer.

Obviously some kind of superior being because even Grace Hopper, can't be smarter or more knowledgeable than him.
God forbid that if there is someone that might be able to even come close to his intellect happens to be a woman.

So we are on the presence of greatness just like the solar roadway guy, the 1 minute battery charging guy, or the wifi charging girl and the many "you gotta think about the big picture, and outside of the box" and just because they can think it it's going to happen because determination gets things done even when people are against you and the rest are diluted and have no vision and of course they are the most unique individuals bar none.

Seen many of these type of people over my career, they eventually land on their feet and turn out ok.

None of you guys have ever made or even designed! a hardware neural network before have you?

I know.  Because none of you like what im saying, and its actually what im talking about.

And dont lie and say youve done something you havent, or even thought about something you havent thought about,  I know im right.


HERE->  (something none of you have ever thought about once in your life,  and that stupid gracey idiot "stupid at the speed of light." woman has either.)


While you little babies whine on about your little lcd screen not working properly, im busy theorizing how to advance technology as it is today, like a real man, instead of being a little hardware girl, who cant even put less transistors in place of some and gate ic, because you cant plumb for shit.

Wow, I'll have to rush off and build that immediately. All I need is 9 balloons and 20 arrows by the look of your schematic.

The big question is, once I build it, what does it do? Hopefully it doesn't initiate a big bang when it's built. A smaller question, where do the feedback diodes go?

cheers,
george.

I can clearly see im right.  You have no idea what it is. :)

Look man,  I didnt even draw that diagram,  its old knowledge, but you guys are a little ignorant indeed.

Yep, I'm sure you are right, how could you not be?

stupid fucks holding back technology.

There's definitely a correlation between your vocabulary and how well you are presenting your case. Care to elucidate further on your thoughts?

cheers,
george.

"cheers" for being royal pains in the arse.

How am I supposed to extend a case out when im sorrounded by idiots.

overunity actually works, but even if you show your motor to morons they just dont believe their eyes.

And finally we have evidence of a higher form of life. Thanks for confirming my original opinion.

cheers,

I suspect "off" might be more accurate.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

I made this capture software myself. I didn't even try. If you can't do something like that real fucking easy, you're not very good.
Etc.

At first I thought you meant you are the guy behind the FastStone line of software, since I could see you're using that to capture the video. I was ready to be surprised. But no, you made a program to capture the webcam image and output it to the screen. Fair enough. But you're also showing that code. So I googled a random snippet from the comment and look what I found.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff625885(v=vs.85).aspx

So, your program appears to just be example code from MSDN. So much for "real fucking easy" and "everything you learnt you copied from someone else".  ::)
Whoa! How the hell did Dave know that Bob is my uncle? Amazing!

Neural nets based decision trees are so 90s.

And your tessellation is pretty slow and pretty low res. Have you heard of multires? Also if you used wavelets you probably could get a higher framerate with more resolution and less processing and better registration.

For example and this is not advanced by any means, this is a 3d reconstruction based only on remote GIS sensing that I developed for a company a while back.


It's all derived from different data sources using a lot of parallel processing using GPU cores, making sure the data sets are fully registered.
Not real time but it's doing a lot and it can find trees, houses, concrete, water and map it on DEM data. It can even tell you what kind of tree it is or what type of material a road is.

And I'm not that great either, others have done far better than me. As for neural nets I actually have an SPIE paper published in 1992 and I was a voting member in the formation of comp.ai.neural-nets.natural-lang usenet channel way back in the early 90s. I probably forgot more things that you know.

Your problem is that you are self taught, because that is pretty obvious, so you don't have a common language with the field, so you'll get a lot of blank stares because you are not equipped to describe what you are doing. Not because what you are doing is complicated, just your way to communicate is what is complicated.

And I wouldn't pipe in at all and let you on your ego narcissistic crusade but you just happened to insult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper

As for the Kinect, meh, what's so difficult in projecting something once you have the z depth already and using someone else's software, because I'm pretty sure you are not computing the time of flight yourself. Now that would be impressive if you could actually get the timings right, but for that you might need to know the length of a nanosecond and a bunch of optics and physics.

Look at Microsoft's HoloLens, now that is impressive. Although I do like CastAR but that requires the retro reflective surface. ZCam's tech (in the kinect because MS bought them) is cool and all but it doesn't work well in the sun.

Maybe come up with something better like some spread spectrum based time of flight so you can use it outdoors regardless of other IR sources.

And yeah, making an undocumented video signal format work is more challenging that what you are doing, because time has to be just right and it's not like you can just slap a bunch of random code together.

Weeding out nonsense is not holding progress back, because doing the weeding out prevents others from wasting time and resources so we can have real progress.

It's a perspective thing. And my perspective on your shirtless videos smoking and trying to be cool, actually corroborates what I mentioned on  my previous post. Don't get me wrong I used to do the same on my 20s (other than posting on youtube) and weed made everything make sense and had a lot of stupid philosophical and pseudo science conversations with my peers, but then I grew up :)

I still remember one about trying to convince others that at a quantum level a pencil could have consciousness.

Edit: and by the way I did convince them, but I guess they just got tired to listen to my rambles instead.

I draw the line at insulting grace hopper at lest she can explain stuff better than you can...dude you look like you've slept less than I have and are on or off something.

here's an idea, why not throw us an article about something you've read, least it'd get us on the same page, but instead you thought you were high and mighty (or just probably high) and your childish ego comes out.

Your attitude stinks and if I we're you I'd just stop posting cos all your going to get is ridicule from here on.

I could not have put it better myself. I think it's time we close this one.
