Beautiful Trigonometry - Numberphile

3D Printing Stainless Steel with Giant Robot Arms

AeroMechanical says...

I get the impression that the 3D printing and robotics aspect is tertiary to machine vision, which seems to be what they're actually researching. The video is kind of confusing that way. Cool as it all is, nothing they actually showed or discussed seemed technologically impressive (in a relative sense).

Atlas, The New Generation

AeroMechanical says...

That is goddamn impressive. I can only imagine in 10 years, they'll have one that moves pretty indistinguishably from a human. Of course, the trick will be making the batter last for more than 20 minutes.

All the same. This just way cool stuff.

Oh man, that is way cool!

Yeah, the Watchmen movie is a point of contention with fans. But I'm of the mind that a rendition of any property doesn't ruin it. If I loved the original trilogy of Star Wars, for instance, then the new trilogy doesn't change that, you know?

I really liked the Watchmen movie because I never thought it would live up to the integrity of the original comic miniseries. But then after watching the Ultimate Cut, it's a fairly accurate cut. It's pretty great, actually. In my opinion, at least.

I thought the Watchmen movie was competent rather than inspired. In fact, I thought the most original clever part of the movie was the opening credits.

It wasn't bad, but there was just no way it could handle the sheer depth of the comic. To be fair, I haven't seen the ultimate cut though, but well... I went with a few friends who hadn't read the comic, and they came out wondering why I had made such a big deal of going to see it. Then I loaned them the comic and they understood....

I really think the only way the movie could have been truly great would be to get someone with their own vision and go at it from a different angle. Terry Gilliam would have been interesting. It probably would have failed, but it'd have failed gloriously.

Man Cut in Half - Illusion Prank

bareboards2 says...

To me, I can see that his actual legs are in the pants. He probably has some physical anomaly of normal length torso with shorter legs. It seems to me he is leaning the right - probably has a seat built into the "pants" on a frame so he can sit while leaning. Also, his upper body is disguised by his shirt in a frame, so you can't see the lean. I think.

Way cool illusion.

I'm trying to figure out the gimmick. If it's happening live, then he has some amazing props and is clever. Off the top of my head though, scripted reaction and he's doing some visual effects with some body parts wrapped in green. But, I just can't figure out the exact mechanics of it.

Riddick - Trailer

FlowersInHisHair says...

I love that they're stuck with the name "Riddick". It's just... not the name of a way-cool action hero. It's the name of an office stationery supply manager in Milton Keynes.

As an aside, most of the food you consume is radioactive in some way, cool huh?! Hell, most of everything you interactive with has some level of radioactive decay. There is rising evidence of the benefits of small doses of radiation. The current Linear no-threshold model in many interesting cases has failed to show direct epidemiological evidence of increased cancer rates where background radiation levels are higher than other levels. It is all very interesting stuff, a far cry from the fear factor news media make radiation out to me. Turns out, the whole world is radioactive, and it might be the energy which fuels plate tectonics . Just an interesting aside from the whole radioactive carbon element of this

Truth stranger than fiction.
