I've been building things for as long as I can remember. It all started when my dad exposed me to plastic model building and soldering when I was around 4 years old. That set me on a path to building increasingly complex things and becoming an engineer. My goal is to do the same for as many people as possible by exposing them to the joy of engineering, fabricating and creating things out of nothing. If I'm lucky a few people may become engineers, which would be great for the world. Engineering is awesome.
One idea for fixing the false summit problems would be using the original strategy you mentioned, searching all points and saving the max, but instead doing it at a lower resolution, so your only sampling maybe 1 point for every 10 units. Then you can use gradient ascent to improve that guess.
I dont know how to code and have no interest in learning but if i had to make a machine to complete a 4000 piece all white puzzle or to do the puzzle by hand i would spend 6+ months learning how to code.
The last pencil with the lead pointing into the pencil reminded me of Dada art, like the fur-lined tea cup. The Dada movement rejected logic and reason, instead favoring nonsense and irrationality. Your pencil is a work of art!
I think another possible way to find match try scan all the edges of each piece once, write a hashmap code to store it, then write a program that would calculate the desired “other piece” according to it’s hash code. It runs in constant time complexity, if we found duplicate match, then we can try a linear scan but it saves ton of time.
I think you should have solved it differently. If you limit the hair length to max 14 mm you can build the code such that it first gets all the hair trimmed to max length then scans the head shape and sets the length for each head area. Then you can use the hair cut machine technique, where you attach the hair clipper gapper to the head, and raise it against the direction of the hair growth. So it's way easier to trim the hair, using a machine.
OMG! Only video I've ever liked and subscribed (at least the first) Are you busy being a genius or can you find some time. A future endeavor + automation + we could use your help. Hell of a video! AWESOME. SPECTACULAR! !
