RoboCup!

Really big throwback. A million years ago when I was a wee tot, I used to participate in the high school division of RoboCup which was a contest that aspired to forward humanoid robotics through robotics soccer, rescue, and dance. The robots are always super cute. Look at these grown adults with their adorable robots. I'm sure much has developed over the million years I last watched, but back in the day, robots would often fall over after kicking a ball. Adorable. I sometimes forget that maybe I am living a childhood dream I had. I think I've shared some things in the past that suggest art and science are somehow opposites, but they're really much more alike than different and I've always enjoyed the intersection of both.

Computational architecture as well, also the intersection of art and science. That said, I do tend to like the intersection of art and science in a sort of not useful way. Why do we need robots that can play soccer? Not sure. Why do we even need humans to play soccer? Mystery to me. Fun though! Also sometimes there is a lot of not fun in the process of getting to the fun end result, and I am not always good at enduring the not fun. It is what it is.

Being autistic feels like having to emulate brain hardware that most other people have. Being allistic is like having a social chip in the brain that handles converting thoughts into social communication and vice versa while being autistic is like using the CPU to essentially emulate what that social chip does in allistic people.

Skip this paragraph if you know about video codec hardware on GPUs. Similarly, some computers have hardware chips specifically meant for encoding and decoding specific video formats like H.264 (usually located in the GPU), while other computers might not have those chips built in meaning that encoding and decoding videos must be done “by hand” on the CPU. That means it usually takes longer but is also usually more configurable, meaning that the output quality of the CPU method can sometimes surpass the hardware chip’s output quality depending on the settings set for the CPU encoding.

In conclusion, video codec encoding and decoding for computers is to social encoding and decoding for autistic/allistic people.

Natural light helps to create a comfortable work environment. The large window permits ample sunlight and, with the light-colored paint on the walls, creates a comfortable work environment.

just like with machine learning, we can and should demystify “the cloud” without demonizing it in the process. cloud computing and cloud storage architecture are extremely useful tools; it’s how they get deployed by big tech companies that can be a problem.
