@Liebranca I used android studio one time to build a camera app and it was perfect, and coincidentally the battery on the test phone I installed it on failed.

This has happened a few times with these motherfucking "Phone home" IDE's they steel what you're developing and destroy your version.

I swear I'd break some bones over this.

Some tools feel clunky.

No disassemble!

++ to mess with @retoor 's data is NOT cool!

STOP IT! lol

@electrineer Bots can be written to engage with organic activity? someone should let big tech companies know about this. For fucks sake! lol

This joke came up for peer review and the comically adverse comity group found that this is derivative, of the works of the late George Carlin. lol

@We3D Saving humanity one up vote at a time.

//Fix this crap later.

@Demolishun You're welcome ;)

I am "impossible". I like that. I don't ignore anyone.

It's times like this, I wish I had a photo of the worlds most tiniest violin.

@retoor Hahaha

@jestdotty I would never say no to you!

I would be too afraid. lol

...

@retoor I have witnesses lol

@retoor

Data->observation.

Have fun.

@retoor What can a computer do? The possibilities are endless, Artificial Intelligence research today, is at least 30 years behind.

Have I mentioned that I built an R2D2 droid? I built 3 but two were cardboard paper templates lol

Work time on what planet? Some of us are not working from home ;)

Observations are more important than statistics and Interpretations can be misleading.

Have fun.

@retoor You're "training" a bot, if you're writing a bot, you'll have to hard wire an array of normal physics, the opposite of [up] is [down] to us, describing up or down in a sentence a bot will have to understand what the context is, if someone says "up - where I live" a bot gathering information needs to produce every possible scenario about "up" including what the opposite of up is, if you build an array and some tools for the bot to use, it works nicely, hardwired arrays can be switched off, these are low level bots and they tend to develop vast matrices, so be verwy verwy careful...

@retoor I've seen different versions of windows 3.1 (which was named because pi is 3.141) anyway yes, windows could be installed with about 6 floppies, but that's with Dos already installed, the standard packs I remember had at least 10 floppies "diskettes" per pack. I remember them from college looking like packs of cream crackers lol

@retoor The bots I wrote were mostly low level standalone, they had built in arrays of normal's (like basic information) that were hardwired, also there was a string parser and NLP, a lot of outputs and inputs, I'm not describing this well, I'm in a rush lol

@retoor That's a pretty good result, engaging! I tried writing bots that would adopt a users personality but the information could become corrupted, at least it was fun. lots of permutations to create, try, test and adjust.

Personalty bots are the best, when I wrote them, they had attitude, I bet you're trying to get it to continue a "line of thought" you had.

@magicMirror Dos 5-6 was about 8 floppy disks. You had to install first before windows 3, which was another 8-10 floppies.

And it took ages to install .

Backward compatible hardware support is always difficult to get right. That's the main issue with lighter operating systems.

@retoor Celestial Coordinates.

@retoor The idea was to view a constellation of stars from any angle, the program got very complex lol

@retoor Stars are plotted from earth in celestial coordinates (Right Ascension and Declination) I manually converted this with an extra dimension [distance] like Cartesian coordinates, basically xy into xyz, -x -y -z I also added t [time] for auto rotation, so ended up with 7 0,0,0 -0,-0,-0 and t.

@Demolishun I use Redshift, it can plot planets, moons and everything else for at least 12000 years, I've used an original copy since the 1990's and it has always been extremely accurate. You can even use it to plot new objects like comets or satellites and it will track them in real time, just type in the orbital elements. pretty amazing stuff...

@retoor One program I wrote was to load up the coordinates of stars in an xyz environment to view their distance relative to other stars, for example I could plot the stars in the constellation Orion and rotate the entire constellation with a mouse and view where the stars actually are from any angle.

I could also save each constellation and load them up together, I manually converted thousands of stars for the project.
